Senate! Burton Elected
President al Baltimore.
Long List Of Prominent Men
Made Vice Presidents.
Suggestion Of Financial Neutral.
ty" as Preventive Of Mar.

Baltimore, May 1.-The annual meet
ing of the American Peace Society was
held here today the principal business
being the election of officers. United
States Senator Theodore f. Burton OF
Ohio was chosen president; DIR. Ben
jamin F. Trueblood of Boston secre-
tary: and George W. White of Wash
ington, d. c., treasurer A long list
of vice presidents, including many per-
sons of prominence, also was elected.
Financial neutrality" as a proven
tive of war between nations was the
interesting suggestion offered at the
National Peace Congress here today
by James S. Speyer of the New York
and European banking house of Speyer
& CO. Mr.. Speyer spoke as delegate
from the Chamber of Commerce of the
state of New York. He followed AS
sistant Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson, presiding officer of the fore
noon session, who gave his interpreta-
ton of what has been called Dollar
diplomacy" The newly coined phrase
applied To the expansion of business
interests through the efforts of the
state department of the United States.
The term according to Mr.. Wilson
means the substitution of dollars for
bullets; the creation of prosperity
which will be preferred to predatory
strife and "a practical mode of pursu-
ing the ideal of worlds peace"
Mr.. Speyer, who spoke on 'Internation-
al Finance as Power for Peace dealt
first with the influence of international
investments in times of peace.
"Now," said Mr.. Speyer. supervision
and control of the bankers already exists
in time of peace"
@In case two nations went to war with
out first submitting their grievances and
differences to arbitration or judicial set
tlement at The Hague, why should the
other neutral powers not bind themselves
not to assist either of the beligerents fl
nancially, but to see to it that real neu-
trality was observed by their banks and
bankers. There is little doubt that this
could be done. If no fiscal assistance
could be obtained from the outside few
nations would, in the face of this most
effective neutrality of the other powers,
incur the peril of bankruptcy. Some
would certainly last much shorter
time

having prevented the activities of Amer
lean sympathizers with the Mexican In
surrectionists along the border made by
Congressman James f. Slayden in the
course of an address, drew a reply from
Assistant Secretary of State Wilson who
said that in all revolutions in the Latin
American states, Americans had been ac-
tive in spite of the efforts of the federal
government TO prevent such activities and
that the record of the United States in
proceeding against previous filibustering
should have convinced the people of
Mexico of the honesty of this country S
attitude toward it.
Another speaker was Edwin D. Mead of
Boston. Mr.. Mead had been announced
to speak on Friday afternoon, but he
was shifted to replace another who was
unable to attend.

Bangor Me-, May with undaunt-
ed courage the people of Bangor are
rising to the new and formidable task
of rebuilding their business section
and taking care of the homeless. The
merchants have in many cases engaged
temporary quarters and some even
have applied for licenses to build, as
the licensing board has held sessions
for that purpose. A relief fund for
the purpose of alternating immediate
suffering has been opened and the
subscription now totals over 100000
To aid business men who have lost
their establishments and are seeking
for capital, a committee has been
formed to receive and provide funds.
The University of Maine law stu
dents have started a campaign for
new school edifice to be erected in
Bangor. They have already subscribed
$500 and will work vigorously for a

BRITISH BILL.
Surprising Reception Of
ChanCeI!or's Scheme.
His Opponents Welcome Insur-
ance Against Unemployment.
Lloyd GeorgeAppears for First Time
Since Physical Breakdown.

London, May 4.-The long promised
scheme of state insurance against un-
employment, sickness and inValidty,
introduced in the House of Commons
today by David Lloyd George. chan
celler # the exchequer, was received
with an extraordinary course of APP
probation by all parties in Parliament,
which must have greatly astonished
that much-execrated minister. 1t will
be difficult to avoid the conclusion
that the praised bestowed by his polit-
ical opponents conceals a side thrust
at his cid age pensions measure. which
has always been severely criticized by
the Unionists, because it Was not con-
tributory.
While the governments supporters
hail the insurance measure as the most
comprehensive plan of constructive
legislation ever introduced in Parlia-
ment, far exceeding in grasp and COM
pleteness anything anticipated and
better than the German system. the
Cnionists offer ungrudging testimony
to the capacity and the mastery of in
tricate details displayed
The general opinion is that Chancel-
lor Lloyd George is too optimistic with
regard to the cost of the scheme to
the state and employers, and strong
note of criticism is already emanating
from the great manufacturers who are
certain to be heavily burdened. In
brief, the situation appears to be that
even il the Opposition dislike the meas
ure as socialistic. they will not dare
oppose it after the success which has
attained the pensions scheme.

Interesting Side Stories.

Bangor, Me-. May 4.-Great activity
and real estate circles in preparation
for the rebuilding of the burned dis
trict and already it is apparent that
Bangor is to experience remarkable
building boom. The Morse Oliver
building is to be replaced by another
large structure, and the various Stet-
son properties in Exchange, Park and
Central streets will be rebuilt at once,
while new hotel is to occupy the site
of the burned Windsor Other new
buildings are being planned by p. l..
Dugan and Charles H. Frey, Central
street, the Stems estate in Exchange
street, and by the owners of the Ken
duskeag and Exchange buildings. John
r. Graham will rebuild his burned
block in Central street, and has al
ready begun on six-story office
building at Central and Harlow streets.
1t is expected that not fewer than %
large business structures will be erect
ed this year, in addition to the numer-
were planned before the fire. while at
least 200 dwellings and half a dozen
churches are to be erected.
In the present emergency, many
firms desire to erect temporary wooden
structures in which to carry on their
business. and to meet this situation
the licensing board has prepared a
special form of permit, limiting the
height of such structures to Ii feet,
prescribing various conditions and
providing that such structures must be
removed by Jan. 1, 1912. The commit
tee of u will meet on Friday to con-
slider a revision of the buildings or
dinances.
The relief fund now amounts to s37. 500
and subscriptions are still coming in. The
fund will be ample for all needs.
1t is announced tonight that telephone
service will be resumed on May 10 and
ear service will probably be completed
about the same time Charleston and
Kenduskeag cars began running today.
Insurance payments now exceed $500 900
and there are many offers of capital for
investment in real estate mortgages, so
there will be no lack of money for build
ing purposes. One Boston firm of BANK
ers offered million for real estate in
yestment.
Countless letters and kilograms are be-
ing received from people in all parts of
the country making anxious inquiries as
to the welfare of relatives, grossly exag-
gerated reports sent out to many news
papers having created the impression that
Bangor was almost entirely destroyed
and that thousands were homeless and
destitute. There is no distress whatever,
the 70 destitute families being well cared
for, and the total loss is but small
fraction of the citys valuation. Perfect
order prevails and the city is rapidly
being restored to its normal condition.
