most in the same hour that the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations re-
ported to-day to the Senate It's con-
.riction that the recently negotiated
arbitration treaties between this coun-
try and Great Britain and France
were breeders of bitterness and war"
Germany through It's amba ssad or

Defense OF Committee.
The report was a vigorous defense
OF the committees course in recon-
mendins the elimination of the para
graph in the treaties conferring espe.
cial powers upon the joint high COM
mission. created by the conventions.
The attack upon the treaties centred
on the question OF the Senate, as part
OF the treaty making machinery of
the United States, giving its consent
to the investiture Of the Joint COM
mission with authority TO determine.
without consulting the Senate. whether
or not a matter OF dispute is justin
able and subject TO arbitration.
Inc report was presented by Sena-
Tor Lodge. of Massachusetts, and the
minority OF the committee was grant
ed week In which to present it's
views in support of the treaties as

PLAN NATIONWIDE
CATHOLIC COLONIES
PreIates Of Church In Confer.
enCe at Chicago

Chicago, July 13.-Three archbish-
ops and a number of other Roman
Catholic clergymen met here to dis
cuss plans for nationwide colonial
tion movement.
Archbishop John Ireland of st. Paul,
Archbishop Sebastian G. Messmer of
Milwaukee, Archbishop John ]. Glen
non of st, Louis and Bishop Joseph
Schrembs of Grand Rapids were the
dignitaries of highest rank present.
Archbishop Glennon said it had been
decided to establish farming centers
in the Northwest, West and South, at
which advice will be given to pros
pective colonists.
I'VE came here" said Archbishop
Glennon, "to work out a concrete plan
for a nationwide Catholic colonization.
Thousands of Catholics of the Latin
and Slavonic nations come yearly to
our shores from the most civilized ag-
ricultural regions of Europe. Our plan
is to have them go directly to agri-
cultural settlements instead of set
Ting down in congested and crowded
cities"

with the Union Pacific cases. The
remainder was spent on hunting the
Standard Oil octopus.
Chairman Beall informed the com
mittee that he had asked for the ex.
pense accounts of all the special
agents of the department for the past
few years, but that he had been ad
vised by the department that it would
require months" to make up table
of this sort
Mr. Beall therefore requested the
department to submit the data a little
bit at time and the department has
begun to comply with the modified
request.
The committee received In rather
unfinished state the expense accounts
of perhaps dozen of the special In.
vestigators, exclusive of Mr.. Kellogg
and it will prepare table as rapidly
as possible showing the nature OF the
expenditure.

MAY BE MILLION AND A HALF
Exact Amount of Pettits Shortage
Not Ascertainable,

Chicago, July 13.-Expert account
ants, under the direction of commit
tee of Chicago bankers, began an in
spection of the books and accounts of
the late James Petit and the Peavey
Grain company, in an effort to deter
mine the exact condition of the board
of trade firms finances.
Developments seem to indicate that
the losses may reach $1,500,000, but
this cannot accurately be determined
until an audit of the books has been
completed. 1t is expected that this
work will take week or more
1t appears Petit lost in nearly ev-
cry recent speculative deal he made,
although he had the reputation of be-
ing one of the shrewdest operators in
the Chicago market.

DYNAMITE CASE Is CALLED
McManigaI's Wife Divides interest
With Mcnamara Brothers.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 13.-Mrs. Or
tie McManigal and her uncle, George
Behm of Portage, Wis, both of whom
are aligned with the defense, shared
the interest with the Mcnamara
brothers when the dynamite con-
spiracy case was called, and Judge
Walter Bordwell prepared to render
a decision on the motion to quash the
indictments against the accused labor
leader and his brother.
Mrs. McManigal and her uncle came
to the court directly from the Jail,
where the two made another effort, il
it asserted, to induce Ortie McMani
gal, the alleged confessed conspira
tor, to repudiate his confession.
Torn between conflicting desires tc
do as his wife wished and also keep
his alleged pledge to become state
witness, McManigal is said to be on
the verge of collapse.

vey Concern at Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, July 13.-Representa.

banks and Chicago commercial paper
houses were appointed at a confer
ence in the Offices of F. III. Peavey
& Co, to form a committee that will
adopt working plan to represent
the creditors of the company and take
care of their interests.
There is a possibility this commit
tee will take over the assets of the
company to protect the holding com
pany against creditors of the Peavey
Grain company, the insolvent Chi
cago subsidiary. Nothing more than
the names of the organized committee
has been made public.

is in the neighborhood of $1,200.000

The 81 200, 900 Indebtedness is held
in notes by four Chicago banks and

forwarded by these houses on the
strength of Mr.. Pettits statement
that the grain was in the elevators
Since Saturday it has been discovered

MI. Nudl
H. Peavey G. Co. had nothing to dc
with the Peavey Grain company o1
Chicago other than to appear as stock
holders. 1t is for the protection oi
their interests as well as the inter
ests of their creditors that the com
mittee of bankers was appointed.
In this way II is figured that the
Peavey Grain company creditors can
not molest F. II. Peavey & Co. The
4iatter concern, it is declared, cannot
be held responsible for the misman
agement of the Peavey Grain com
pany. since the latter is a corporate
organization and all that can be done
is to declare it insolvent and divide
whatever assets there are left. Since
the number of creditors are SO few II
is improbable that application will be
made for receivership.

Much Damage Done by Bush
Fires in Michigan.
LOSS OF LIFE DOUBTFUL
Reports Say Number Of Persons
Perished, but Confirmation Is Lack
ing-Several Towns Reported Burn!
Ing When First Stories Were Sent
Out Are Now Declared to BE Safe.

Detroit, July 13-The destruction
OF the twin villages of Au Sable and
Oscoda and the 100000 fire at AL
pena, which were not due to forest
flres, probably caused exaggerated re-
ports of heavy damage and possible
loss of life from forest fires in the
northern counties of the Southern
peninsula of Michigan.
Towns along the Detroit and Macki-
mac railroad, from Posen, In Presque
Island county, to Onaway, in Cheboy-
gan, suffered considerable damage but
many towns that were reported burn.
ing are now reported safe. These
include Lewiston, Turner and Alger.
Reports of loss of life at Au Sable
and Oscoda are persistent, but it Is
impossible to confirm them. Most of
them originated from the stories of
panic stricken refugees who in their
mad rush from the burning towns
saw many people fall from exhaustion
anu tOuuleu oil tucSt 40 ihCFitehpiy
lost, some of the reports estimating
the dead as high as fifty.
Three Bodies Reported Found.
An unconfirmed rumor reached De-
troit that the burned bodies of three
men and a woman were found at Au
Sable near the railroad track, where
they had apparently been overcome
while running towards safety in the
open fields.
Six towns between Alpena and
Cheboygan that were thought to be
threatened with destruction, escaped
with serious property losses when the
forest fires invaded their precincts.
At Metz, the scene of the great ia
tality of the forest fires of 1908, a
great pile of bark was destroyed after
burning for twelve hours and serious
ly threatening the village. At Millers-
burg the Gardner-Peterman mill and
thirty-one houses were razed.
At Towner the Detroit and Macki.
nae freight house, twenty houses and
thirty freight cars were burned.
La Rogue and Posen are also re-
ported to have suffered severe losses.
Fire scorched Sides Of Train.
The fire originated in slab yard in
Oscoda and in half an hour the entire
town was in flames. The fire jumped
the Au Sable river and soon Au Sable
also was in the grip of blaze that
reached the town limits on every side.
A passenger train on the Detroit
and Mackinac railway got around the
towns by running on an old lumber
spur and arrived here at midnight.
Flames were then running 100 feet In
the air, declared the passengers, and
the intense heat scorched the sides of
the train and cracked the windows.
Quartermaster General w. G. Rog-
ers of the state militia has made hur-
ried preparations at Lansing to for
ward supply of tents to Oscoda to
give temporary shelter to the home
less people there. Many of the Au
Sable and Oscoda refugees, however,
were taken to East Tawas on a relief
train, and to Port Huron on the steam
or Niko.
