der indictment for embezzlement Of
$4,000, died in the central emergency
hospital here early today suicide
Sitting on his prison cot late yes
terday Nanker stabbed himself in the
neck, using small pocket knife.
Attempt Follows Brave Talk.
Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, less than an hour before he at
tempted suicide, Manker said to a
newspaper man:
I'm going back to Pearl and I'm go
ing to stick it out. Down in my heart
feel the sting OF the scOrn aud
calumny, and with firm knowledge
that I never did a wrong act willfully.
I'm going back to the old place in 1Hi-
nois and make my fight I'm going to
build my life anew. I've got confidence
in myself know I can rehabilitate
my fortune and re-establish myself

me-"
Manker had been informed that the
requisition papers had been honoreo
and that the Illinois officers were on
their way to get him. A few moments
before o'clock, Ben Gaskell. trusty

Marker with his throat cut. The po-

that he had sought his own life and
declared he had been seized with
hemorrhage. An investigation is under

weapon.
Story Of His Downfall.
Marker up to three years ago was an
Influential and supposedly wealthy
resident of Pearl. He had been

a confession he made in San Francisco
last Saturday.
The former banker is the inventor OF
the navimobile, or hydrocurve, a pc
culiarly shaped boat hull by which he
hoped to revolutionize navigation. He
organized the Manker-Hebner Naviga-
ton Company, and many Of his busi-
ness acquaintance subscribed for
stock in the enterprise.
Marker is about 65 years old and an

lodging house after having been a wan
derer since his flight from Pearl. Hun
ger and loneliness drove him to sur
render.

Coveted Goal in sioht.

Washington, Aug. 3-Three of the
worlds greatest nations, with the Unit
ed States as the central figure and
moving spirit, Joined hands today in
opening the way to the coveted goal OF
statesmen Of modern times-universal
peace.
To Jean Jules Jusserand came the
signal honor of signing an arbitration
treaty between the United States and
France six hours ahead Of the signing
of the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain.
This distinction is possibly Of more
personal satisfaction than that gained
from having been the first foreign Dip
lomat to come forward with tentative
acceptance of President Taft's informal
proposal to all nations for just such q
treaty as has been concluded. The lat
ter incident at the time was quite over
looked except by the president and a
few of the guests Of the American So
ciety for the Judicial Settlement of IN
ternational Disputes. where the presi-
dents proposal was made at the annual
dinner last December.
Thruout the negotiations compare :
lively little was heard Of the part taken
by Ambassador Jusserand in forward
ing the great movement. The negotia-
tions with Great Britain were given

the first to recognize the possibility of
such an agreement.
Ambassador Jusserand has been ac-
credited to Washington since 1902. Dur:

are not justifcable shall be referred to
a commission OF inquiry composed OF
nationals Of the two governments en-

their settlement. Should the comaais-
sion decide that the dispute should be
arbitrated such decisions will be bind

Paris, Aug. s.-The Franco-American
arbitration treaty was signed at 2:0s
o'clock this afternoon.
The signing Of the treaty is hailed in
France as meaning the extension Of a
movement in all countries for the re-
duction OF armaments and the absolute
prevention of wars. The general view
is that a tremendous impetus has been
given to the worldwide peace CAM
paign.
Result Of Taft Speech.
The arbitration treaties had their in
ception in what was regarded as
casual utterance Of President Taft at u
dinner Of the American Society for
Judicial Settlement Of International
Disputes on Dec. 1s last.
On that occasion the president de-
clared that he saw no reason why the
ancient tradition should be preserved
that questions affecting the vital inter-
est and honor Of nations could not be
arbitrated; that in his opinion these
questions were as susceptible of dis
passionate arbitration as any other in
ternational issues. The French ambas-
sador, NJ. Jusserand. instantly offered
on behalf Of his government to enter
into such treaty relations.
Provisions Of the Treaties.
The new treaties are different in the
important particulars that they remove
the exceptions contained in all former
arbitration treaties that questions of
vital interest and national honor shall
not be subject to arbitration.
It remained for American diplomats
to hit upon the solution Of the problem
Of providing for judicial settlement
Of keen international disputes without
offending the pride Of the principals.
This was done by the creation OF the
Commission Of inquiry" which is the
novel feature Of the treaties signed
yesterday.
This commission is to be made up of
representatives Of the governments in
terested, who are members Of the
Hague court This commission must
first investigate the differences be-
tween the two countries involved, and
if possible recommend settlement
that will preclude the necessity Of ar
bitration. II the commission should de-
eide that the difference should be ar
bitrated each Of the parties to the
treaty binds itself to accept that judg-
ment and then the issue must be sub
mitted to the Hague tribunal unless by
special agreement some other tribunal
is created or selected.
