HOUSE OF COMMONS CHEERS BALFOUR Declares in Favor of Arbi- tratiOn Treaty With
 United States

London, March 16.-Sir Edward Grey's Endorsement of President Taft's arbtra- tion suggestion was seconded amid cheers in the house of commons today by A J. Balfour. leader of the opposition, who saw no difficulty in the way of carrying out such an arrangement between this country and the United States.
 Mir Balfour said:
 ''The late government tried it's best to carry out an arbitration treaty with the United States. I hope that there Is a general feeling in America that the time has come when these two great countries may at least be bound by treaty to refer all questions which could possibly produce anything 70 horrible as a war between them to some arbitration tribunal.
 "The secretary for foreign affairs will find no heartier friends of such a policy than those in the unionist party

 There was, he said, nothing different in the Grey proposals from what appeared in the treaty Lord Salisbury tried to ne- gotiate with the United States except the intimation of an offensive, defensive and coercive alliance against all other powers.
 Gravely he doubted whether this would be found to be Of advantage. The pro- posals made no provision for small na- tionalties struggling against injustice of seeking freedom. They referred only to mighty empires which were invited to combine to coeree others who would not submit to arbitration.
 What about the struggling nationalities now crushed under the hoof of great em- pires?'' asked MT. Dillon. What If Egypt asked for arbitration against Brit ish occupation or Persia against the An glo-Russian agreement"

It was soon after o'clock tonight when it was an- nounced that the jury had reached an agreement. Because it was generally be- lieved that the verdict would mot be reached tonight, only a small crowd wes in the court room when the verdict was announced. Judge Hanberry had previ- ously warned the spectators that any at tempt at demonstration would be made the basis for severe action on the part of the court and probably because of this there were no outbreaks. It was ap- parent however, that a large majority of those present were in sympathy with the so-called general" and many of them crowded about and showered upon Dr. Amoss their congratulations.
 In an impromptu reception held in the court room Dr. Amoss was surrounded by members of his family.

 Horrible Crime

Albany, N. Y. March 16.-A mini mum sentence of 20 years at hard la bor in Auburn prison and a maximum of life Imprisonment was imposed to- day by Justice Howard on Mrs. Edith Melber, following her conviction of killing her only child by forcing acid down his throat in desolate Albany suburb on the night of January last A verdict of murder in the second de- gree was returned.
 After giving the verdict several jur- ors sought John H.

 Kirk smiled, but made no reply.
