COSSON HAS
GIVEN OPINION
ATTORNEY GENERAL THINKS
SOLDIERS EXEMPTION NOT
DUE THIS YEAR.

In response to an inquiry from
County Auditor James F. Stevens
made recently, Attorney General Cos
con has sent an opinion on the $1,000
Soldiers Exemption act passed by the
thirty-fourth general assembly and
which became effective July 4 this
year. Unable to tell the many that
have inquired during the past month
as to whether the act would apply to
the assessments for thes year. Mr..
Stevens made inquiry. The opinion OF
Attorney General Cosson in substance
states that the act contained no pub
LEGATION clause and should be effective
July 4, and in the absence of any lam
guage specifying otherwise would not
be retroactive. Il am of the opinion,
however" said he, that it does not
apply to assessments made prior to
July 4, 1911.'
Auditor Stevens has been asked re-
garding the certifying by the township
trustees of the road dragging levy, and
states that this should be in his office
by September !. The township clerks
certify to the auditor after the trus-
tees have made the levy Some have
already turned the levy in, but others

DOOM IS OUT
FOR REST OF Year
LEADER OF PHILADELPHIA Ma
TIoNALs SUFFERS BROKEN
LEG IN PLAY At PLATE.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 27.-Charles
Doom, catcher and manager of the
Philadelphia National league baseball
team, in collision at the home plate
in Yesterdays game with st. louis
broke his leg.
Doom must remain in the hospital
until Saturday night at least, when he
hopes to be taken to Philadelphia. In
cast team mates an Xray photograph
OF the fracture, which is OF the right
fibula and about four inches above
the ankle, was taken. The bone Is
broken in two.
The accident occurred in the fourth
inning of the game, while st. Louis
was at bat, and was witnessed by TO-
900 or more persons. Third Baseman
Smith just had been thrown out at the
plate on an infield hit and Center
Fielder Cakes was on third base and
Pitcher Geyer on first. They tried a
double steal, and>as Shortstop Doolan
of Philadelphia returned the ball to
Doom, Cakes slid into the plate, feet
first, striking Doom with great force.
While Umpire O'Day was waving the
runner out Doom dropped on his face;
players Of both teams carried the man
ager to a taxicab, which took him to
the Frisco railroad employees hospital.
Though the physicians at the hos
pital announced that Doom would be
out of the game at least two months,
the manager told his team mates that
he believed he would be able to play
again in six weeks.
ShortstOD Michael DOOlan will act as
manager of the team while Doom is
absent and Moran and Madden will be
the catchers.
This is the third star the Philadel.
phia team has lost this season in
games with st. Louis, and the players
last night, said Dooin's injury, more
than anything else, perhaps, would
spoil their chances for the pennant.

treaty between the United States and
France six hours ahead Of the signing
of the treaty between the United
States and Great Britain. This is dis.
tinction possibly of more personal sat.
isfaction than that gained from having
been the first foreign diplomat to come
forward with tentative acceptance
of President Taft's proposal to all ma.
lions for just such treaty as has
been concluded. The latter incident
for the time was quite overlooked, ex-
cept by the president and few of the
guests Of the American society for the
judicial settlement Of international
disputes where the presidents pro-
posal was made at the annual dinner
last December.
Throughout the negotiations COM
paratively little was heard OF the part
taken by Ambassador Jusserand in
forwarding the great movement. The
negotiations with Great Britain had
taken foremost place in the news con-
corning the treaties and It was not
known that france has actually be-
gun negotiations until formal an
nouncement was made by Secretary
Knox last May.
It was the British government
which took the initiative in negotiat-
ing for general arbitration. although
France was the first to recognize the
possibility of such an agreement.
Features Of New Treaty.
The general features of the new
treaty are:
All differences internationally JUS
tfceable shall be submitted to The
Hague, unless by special agreement
some other tribunal Is created or Sc
1ected.
Differences that either country
thinks are not justiceable shall be re-
ferred to commission of inquiry,
of nationals of the two gov
ernments, empowered to make rec
for their settlement.
Should the commission decide that the
dispute shall be arbitrated, such de-
cision will be binding.
Before arbitration Is resorted to,
even in cases where both countries
agree that the difference Is suscep-
tible of arbitration, the commission of
inquiry shall investigate the dispute
with view of recommending a set
without arbitration.
The commission at the request. of
either government will delay its find
ings one year to give an opportunity
for diplomatic settlement. The senate
will ratify the terms of submission Of
each dispute to arbitration.
President Started Deal.
The conventions grew directly out
of President Taft's speech in Wash
Ington Dec. 10, last, before the Ameri.
can society for the judicial settlement
Of international disputes, in which he
said:
IF now we can negotiate and put
through positive agreement with
some great nation to abide the adju-
of an international arbitra
lion court in every issue which can
not be settled by negotiation, no mat
ter what it involves, whether honor,
territory or money, we shall have
made long step forward to demon
strating that it is possible for two
nations at least to establish, as be-
tween them, the same system of due
process of law that exists between in
dividuals under government.
