ARBITRATION URGED
IN CANAL CONTROVERSY
London Newspaper Says Lam
guage of Bill Should Make
Senate S Intention Clear
lBy Cable 10 The Tribune ]

London. July 15.-In an editorial on the
the principal ministerialist organ, says
that apparently the United States Senate
means TO pass the bill without heed Of
the British governments protest, adding;
Perhaps the Senators think that in its
present form the bill makes no distinc-
tion, and it certainly is obscure enough
to stand very diverse interpretations.
That however, is not a satisfactory atti-
tude, for if the Senators do not wish 10
discriminate. surely they ought to make
their intention as clear in the bill as
possible.
1T is more probable that they think
Congress has the right TO discriminate
under the ay-Pauncefote treaty. That
is not the British view. and we have a
conflict Of opinion as TO the meaning Of
the international agreement.
There is only one permissible way to
dispose Of this conflict, and that is by
arbitration. Neither America nor Great
Britain wishes TO violate any engage
ment, and both countries are anxious TO
carry out its engagements in the spirit
and in the letter where there is a diff
ference of opinion as to their true char
acter.
The obvious solution Is to submit the
issue to an impartial Judge. That
course should be taken If the bill as it
leaves Congress turns out to be in con-
fiict with the British view bearing on
the Hay Pauncefote treaty"

Chicago. July 14-Nathan Swartz,
wanted by the New York police in the
Julia Connors murder case, was identi-
fled from description in a saloon here
too day by Harry Hoffman, head of the
South Chicago Protective Association.
The saloon is on the outskirts of the
city. Hoffman started for a policeman.
but when he returned the young man
had vanished.
According 10 Hoffman. the youth hur-
liquor glass, asked where he could catch
a train for Pullman. and then ordered
another drink. Hoffman left the sa-
loon in the mean time and notified the
police, who tonight began a rigid hunt
for the New Yorker starting to inspect
every building In Pullman.
The search for Swartz suddenly shifted
from the Eastern states to South Chi
cago on Saturday when advices were
received here from the New York police
that they had secured information which
led them to believe Swartz had fled here.
Accordingly. a house to house canvass
was made In South Chicago, and the
search throughout the suburb was still
In progress when Hoffman made his re-
port
Here is Hoffman's description of the
youth he saw: Age. between twenty
three and twenty five; height, a few
inches more than five feet; build, slen-

larger at a first glance; weight, between
1870 and 40 pounds, and complexion.
pockmarked and sallow.
The fact that the man answers to the
description sent here Of Swartz. even to
the pockmarked complexion. is regard
ed as significant by the police. Hof-
man said the man wore a light-colored
and shabby suit, wore no collar and
talked In a broken German accent.
While the search OF Pullman was be-

RETAINS CONTROL FOR LIFE
Legally Insane in New York, but
Sane in Every Other State, He
Has Quarrelled with All the
Chanlers-Estate Worth
Upward of a Million.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

Richmond, Va, July 14.-John Arm
strong Chaloner made public to-day the
details Of a deed, filed with Sterling NJ
Gary, clerk Of the Superior Court Hall
fax County, n. c., on May l3, 1872, by
virtue of which he devises all Of his
property, both in this state and in New
York. 10 different institutions and chari-
ties. The boards of visitors of the Uni
yersity of Virginia and Of the University
of North Carolina are made "halCner' S
residuary legatees.
The deed dicposes Of property worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
was cra~ted according to Mr.. Chaloner,
for the express purpose of preventing
his relatives from sharing in his estate
in the event of his death.
John Armstrong ChalOner has figured
in court proceedings frequently in re-
cent years. He was adjudged insane
and committed TO the Bloomingdale Asy-
lum in 1897 at the instance of several
of his near relatives. In 1890 he es-
capped from the institution and made his
way to Philadelphia. where he volun-
tarily submitted TO a six months OBJ
servation treatment by prominent alien
lists In that city. These physicians pro
nounced him sane. Chaloner then re-
turned to his ancestral estate. The Merry
Mills, at Gotham, Va, and has spent
most of his time there and in North
Carolina since.
peculiar feature of Chaloner's case
lies in the fact that he is legally It
lunatic in New York State, but is per
fectly sane and competent in every
other state in the Union. In June, 1905,
the Superior Court of North Carolina
gave MIR. Chanler permission to change
his last name to Chaloner. by which he
is now known. He changed the spelling
Of his name. he said. TO escape the
stigma which had become identified with
the name of Chanler owing to the court
proceedings.
