ECantaln Lake Park, Maryland, Aug For the first time since the ar bitraton negotiation with France and Great Britain were begun. President Taft went before the public with the treaties which those powers signed this afternoon, when he addressed 3D. GOO persons at Chautauqua here Ee explained the details of the asreemcnt and answered at length the objec ions raised by certain senators that the treaties are infringements upcn the prerogatives of the upper house of Congress.
 The president declared that he Was @most surprised and gratified' at the favor which the plain people of ev- cry nation has welcomed the pre2os l of universal arbitration. He declared that "in War it is the common peo- ple that have to bear the most of the suffering. They have to pay more taxes, they have to do most of tie fighting and they secure the least benefit and the least glory.
 .sThe provision of the Treaty by which each nation party to the agree ment is given a year >to. ponder. over any dispute before action is taken. said the president, "give such pause to the hot feeling of either natien as to lead to a sensible and peaceful solution.''
 ''The step taken by such great pow CTS as the United States, Great Brit ain and France" said the president .'cannot but stimulate a similar move- ment on the part of other natl ns' The president returned to Washington late this afternoon.

SUPREME COURT INTERFERES WITH SENTENCE OF PINE BLUFF ATTORNEY B} II Xii
 NEAU.
AND Hf RETURNS HOME
Report of Agreement to Furnish PindaIl With Copy of Evidence
 Incorrect, Says Hunt.

Attorney $. J. Hunt, who was fined 5000 and sentenced to six months in the Pulaski county jail at Little Rock by Judge John E. Martineau, Saturday, after being held in contempt of court by that jurist for his failure to comply with an order, commanding him to file transcript of the eVl- hearing of w. s. Rhea, charged with the murder of Vital Archard, returned to Pine Bluff last night, accompanied by City Attorney w. B. Sorrells, who with District Attorney T. Havis Nixon represented the prosecution in the Rhea case.
 Attorneys Hunt and Sorrells yes terday induced Judges M. Frauenthal, Carroll D. Wood and w. F. Kirby, of the Supreme Court, to grant writ of certiorari, which means that all proceedings under the judgment in the chancery court will be stayed un- til the supreme court can review the case in detail The hearing in the supreme court will take place on the First Monday in October.
 Attorney Hunt stated last night that the rumor to the effect that the states attorneys had agreed to furn- ish Attorney X. o. Pindall, counsel for Rhea, copy of the evidence taken at the habeas corpus hearing, was in- correct. He said he understood yes- terday that Stenographer H. l.. Stern berg, who was employed by them to take the stenographic report, had talked the matter over with MT. Pin dall With view to selling him a copy oe the evidence. It is not likely that the attorneys for the state will ap- prove the sale of their testimony by the privately employed stenographer.

FEW CANTALOUPES
IN LOCAL MARKET
Mesilla Valley Product Will
Soon Be Here With
Relief

This IS a cantaloupe town. Canta-
1oupes, the midsummer breakfast food.
are an absent quantity on the local
markets at the present time. 'Tis not
for long, but breakfast has lost most
of its charm because of the temporary
absence Of the netted melons from the
menu
The reason for the temporary scarcity
of cantaloupes is the result of pecu-
liar condition of the commission market
The season for Imperial valley canta-
loupes, which are shipped here from
California is practically over. The
season has not yet started for the Me-
silla Valley melons except in small ex-
press shipments. The rains have re-
tarded the ripening of the delicious up
per valley delicacy
Shipments of melons from the Mesilla
and FL Paso valleys are expected any
day by the commission men. For this
reason they do not dare order melons
from California for fear the upper and
lower valley product will begin arriv-
ing in quantities and bear the market.
Few, If any, melons are being Offered
on the local market and breakfast
tables are minus the first course with
bit of cracked dee in the center. When
the melon drouth is broken cantaloupes
will be cheaper sweeter and fresher
than those that have been shipped here
from the Imperial valley. Mesilla and
Ell Paso valley cantaloupes will take
possession of the commission market
and life will be one long sweet song
