WILL PUSH PLAN
FOR WORLD PEACE
President Taft To Urge Senate in
Extra Session To Ratify Arbitra-
tion Treaty With Great Britain.

AUGUSTA. Ga, March 1S.-Presi
dent Taft made it known In Augusta,
today, that he will urge upon the
senate, at the opening of the extra
session, the Immediate ratification OF
the new arbitration treaty with Great
Britain. This treaty would preclude
any possibility of Great Britain aid
ing japan under the terms OF her al
lance In the event OF war between
Japan and the United States.
The president regards the ratifica.
ton OF the treaty as of immediate
importance. 1t Is his plan to have
the senate take It under consideration
during the period In which the house
probably will be formulating plans for
tariff revision.
The proposed treaty will be the
most radical plan ever presented 10
the world. II provides for the arbitra.
ton of questions involving national
honor-the one thing heretofore con
sidered as impossible OF settlement
except by war II Will cement the
two English speaking nations in
practically an alliance for peace.

cal Concern Is Luring Young Girls
From Home.

Juvenile court officers are investi-
eating report that. a fake theatrical
booking company is being operated
here TO lure stage-strrck girls from
their homes for evil purposes. Four
girls, between the ages of IA and 16
years, who were brought into court,
Friday afternoon, exhibited to Judge
Hubert, contracts with a theatrical
company. Officers Max Grossman and
Louis Plies discovered that there is
no such company as the one mention
ed in the Contracts
The girls furnished the names OF
men supposed 10 be interested In the
company, and the officers say the
men admitted that the company Is a
fake and has no financial backing
Arrests may be made The juvenile
court has of late received many re-
ports of missing girls. AS a result
OF a crusade to find them, about a
dozen were picked up on the streets
and eight OF this number, according
to the officers, had tho theatrical con-
tracts.
According to the story told Judge
Hubert by the girls in court. Friday,
they were instructed TO return TO the
company's" quarters at certain times
for rehearsals. The girls said that
they returned a number of times, but
on each occasion, various excuses
were given by the men why rehearsals
could not be held

Former Friends of Katie Ruoff,
Suicide, Collect Money To
Pay Funeral.

Through the efforts of her former
chums, Katie Ruoff, the unfortunate
bride OF one month, who ended her
life few days ago by drinking car
bolic acid, will be saved from the
potter's field
Before her marriage Katie worked
In the Offices OF the Michigan State
Telephone Co. About six weeks ago
she left. To her friends In the tele-
1ph0ne oiiice, she said she was either
going back to Germany to join her
parents, or she was going to be mar.
ried.
Her friends heard nothing more
from her until the tragic story OF her
suicide was told them. Her friends
learned that her relatives had no
money to bury her, and to save her
from the potter's field. telephone girls
all over the city are subscribing to a
burial fund
Officials OF the company heard
about the efforts the girls were max
ing TO raise fund, and have agreed
to double whatever amount Is Sc
cured by the girls. A tidy sum has
been realized already.
Conrad Ruaff. the husband Of the
suicide, with whom she quarreled the
morning she killed herself, has at last
bpeen heard from. Saturday morning
a postal card was received In the
home by Mrs. Ruoff's sister. II was
addressed to Mrs. Ruoff and was dat
ed Flint. 1t read as follows:
Meet me at Saunders at $3.50
Saturday night. | am working in
an auto plant here and will get
away at o'clock. How about
that poison? Were you only jok-
ing me?
The postal was turned over TO Cor
oner Burgess, who handed 1t to Capt.
Mcdonnell.
Nothing has been seen OF Ruoff
since the morning Of the day his wife
committed suicide. The authorities
think that he knows of his wife's
death and wrotethe postal as bluff.
In the letter the girl wife left, she
asked that her husband be arrested.

Stricken With Epileptic ConEulsion
While Being Examined by DR..
Theophile Klingman, Latter Tes-

Court Orders That Long Hypothetical
Question Framed by Defense

The defense in the case of Dr. @.
X. Boyajian, being tried In Judge Con-
nolly's court, on the charge of muir
dering his nephew, Hartoon Gostan-
ian, called It's first alienist, Saturday
morning. The defense plans TO show
that DR.. Boyajian was temporarily in
sane when he did the shooting
DR.. Theophile Klingman, demonstra-
tor of nervous diseases in the Uni
yersity OF Michigan, was the first wit
ness. The doctor said that he exam
ined DR.. Boyajian April .21, 1910, In
the county jail and that the doctor
was seized with an epileptic mt, dur
ing the examination. While examin-
ing DR.. Boyajian, the witness said
that the physicians left arm became
rigid, the muscles of the eyes twitch-
ed and he lapsed into unconscious
ness. The doctors sense OF feeling
was dead, the pricking OF his body
with a needle, failing to make any
impression on him.
Mr.. Hunt. for the defense, read a
long statement 10 the witness. re-
counting all the fits suffered by DR..
Boyajian and his father; the birth
OF a brother OF Dr. Boyajian with
weak eyes: the act OF his aunt In run

DR.. Klingman was asked whether he

time OF the shooting.
Prosecutor Makes Objection.
Prosecutor Van Zile objected to an
answer being given, saying that
there was no testimony that young

with weak eyes, as alleged by Mr..

Barn Built Near School.
The proposed building of a stable
for 40 horses by Henry Mincel, on
Forest-ave. ea.s. between Beaubien
and st. Antoilte-sts., threatens the
health OF pupils in the Trowbridge
school. The contract has been let for

cant space west OF the school struc-
ture.
Capt. A. Z. Stewart, supervisor OF
school buildings, and William g..
Williamson, sanitary engineer OF the
board of health, called on Assistant
Corporation Counsel P.nniman, Sat.
urday morning. asking II the erection
of the building could be prevented.
They pointed out that in addition to
the offensive odors. the noise and the
leaving OF vehicles in the street would
always constitute a nuisance.
Attorney Penniman said that IL was
doubtful IL the erection OF the build
ing could be prevented, if a permit
had been granted and contracts let.
but that ii would be possible to exer-
else such supervision as would make
IL improbable TO maintain the stable.
1t is probable that a supplemental
estimate will be put in by the school
board to buy the property for play
ground.

SAYS MARTz BILL
WILL HURT SALOON
Demand for Prohibition Sure To Fol
low Removal of Restrictions, De-
clares Pliny Marsh.

IF the legislature or the liquor in
terests wish to get legislation taking
down the fences around the liquor
traffic, Il Is their own lookout, for IL
only means speeding the day OF state
wide prohibition" said Pliny Marsh,
legislative superintendent OF the An
ti-Saloon league, Saturday, referring
TO the Martz bill which proposes TO al
low saloons to be open on legal holi-
days.
They naturally are afraid TO go
the limit and allow liquor to be sold
on Christmas, Thanksgiving day and
Memorial day. Such a desecration as
that would result in popular protest.
But they insist on having the saloons
open on the Fourth of July. II they
try to enact that law, think they
will over-reach themselves. The An
ti-Saloon league is little more than an
outside spectator In any movement
of that kind. for II looks as IL II
would be destructive to the liquor In
terests in the long run.
I'VE are receiving communications
from manufacturers who protest
against the proposed selling OF liquor
on holidays. They are willing to let
their men go away for the holidays,
but the proposed amendment means
that they will be coming back TO
work with the results Of Jag, and
they are not inclined to look on such
condition with favor Heads OF a
number of large automobile and stove
manufactures will be opposed to the
bill.
"Oother measures proposed by the
liquor men are In direct violation OF
promises made at the time that the
Warner-Cramton law was framed.
Among these are the Stevenson bill,
allowing a liquor dealer to move with
lis license from one place In the city
TO another; the Kemmerling bill, al
lowing the executor Of a deceased
licensee to carry on the business un-
I'll the May following his death; the
Ewing bill, giving preference 10 the
men now In the saloon business, and
another bill, allowing the hours to be
extended beyond midnight.
IL wonder IL the legislators remem-
ber that they are acting for the peo-
pie at large, and not merely for the
saloonkeepers. What they ought to
look at Is whether the public will be
helped or injured, and not whether
some saloonkeeper will be injured
When the Warner-Cramton law was
passed, we were promised that the
number of saloons In cities would b<
reduced to one for every 500 people
Now we are told that there were siS
cases of second conviction, which
means forfeiture of license, last year
and that there will probably be 20
this wear and that the number Oi
saloons will be reduced by this means
alone. We would have to wait long
time for practical results.
The counties that have gone dry
have not gone dry because the peo-
pie were total abstainers, but because
the saloon was a nuisance, and
think that with the present efforts to
jump over the mildest kind OF re-
/, striction, the feeling which has oaus-
ed local option In some counties may
become statewide.
Il doubt, however. II the legislature
will go to the limit with Mr.. Martz.'
