WOULD INCORPORATE HOSPITAL
Consul General Mason, at Paris,
Urges O'Gorman Bill.

Because of the succor it affords Amer
leans who become Ill while sojourning in
Paris. Frank II. Mason, consul general of
the United States at the French capital
urges the passage of the O'Gorman bill
for the incorporation of the American
Hospital of Paris.
In a letter to Senator Gallinger, chair
man of the Senate District committee to
which the bill was referred Mr. Mason
says:
THE American Hospital is one of the
most beneficent and necessary institu-
tons in Paris and renders service which
cannot be estimated in terms of money.
1t has already saved many precious lives
and furnishes a retreat where American
citizens taken suddenly ill and being in
need of medical or surgical treatment can
be cared for under the conditions they
are accustomed to enjoy at home.
THE charter is necessary to enable the
hospital to receive legacies by will, and
In order to give 1t a better standing in
France The hospital is sustained, of
course, by voluntary contributions, sup
plemented by the very moderate fees
which are collected from patients who are
able and willing to pay. Destitute Amer
leans receive treatment free of charge"
The bill proposes to make the hospital

of Columbia Among it's incorporators

Britain and France. To be sure, the trea-

INDICTMENT AT LOS ANGELES
Sensational Confession of Leading
Dynamiters and Their Subsequent
Prison Sentences Recalled.

Los ANGELES. Cal, May 15.-Before
going to trial today on a charge of jury
br1bing in the Mcnamara dynamiting
case Clarence S. barrow. attorney. of
Chicago issued a statement declaring
his innocence, his readiness to stand
trial and confidence in an acquittal.
The trial is set before Judge George H.
Hutton of the superior court, and the
first action scheduled by the defense was
a request that barrow be made an at
attorney of record in the case This pre-
saged active participation in the trial
by barrow.
The trial of Darrow is the direct out
growth of the sensational arrest of Bert
Franklin. detective employed by those
defending the Mcnamara brothers, on
charges of jury bribery Franklin was
arrested a few days prior to December
I. 1911. when the accused dynamiters as
tonished the world by entering unexpect-
ed pleas of guilty. 1t was claimed at

Arraigned February 1, 1912.

Darrow was arraigned February /, and
his attorneys Immediately entered mo-
tions before the court to set aside the
the ground that the evidence was INSULT
cient and did not set forth facts proving
the charges.
After a consideration of these motions
the barrow attorneys were called before
the court February 3, and the motions
were formally denied. barrow then en-
tered formal plea of not guilty, and was
released under a heavy bail His trial
was set for May Is.
The trial of Bert Franklin February q
dispelled any lingering doubt as to the
part the detective had played in the in
vestigation before the grand jury. He
Immediately pleaded guilty to one indict-
ment and was released after paying a
fine of $4,000, the presiding judge sig
nif1cantly commenting on the Influence
of an older and more experienced man.
His release was followed by his subpoena
to appear as witness for the state.
Darrow's prominence as a champion of
organized labor makes his arrest and
trial equal in interest to the sensational
charges against the union ironworkers,
who were convicted Of perpetrating a
long list of dynamitng outrages, and it is
expected that his hearing will bring forth
testimony as startling IS that marking
the trial of the McNamaras.
The accused labor lawyer now fifty-five
years old, was admitted to the bar in
1875, and almost Immediately jumped into
prominence as an advocate of labor. He
possesses an oratorical gift that has won
him a reputation as one of the most eff
fective jury pleaders in the United States
and his knowledge of law is acknowl-
edged to be second to none in the ranks
of labor counsel.

Inference Based on Vote.

I'VE may, however, infer that If the
Senate reflected public opinion, about half
the people of the United States are not
yet ready to make arbitration treaties of
70 wide a scope.
IAN important boundary arbitration be-
tween the United States and Mexico-the
ChamiZal caSe-was tried last summer.
but the award was not wholly acceptable
to either party and the case may be re-
opened. This illustrates the need for an
international court of such character
that the great majority of differences will
naturally flow to it instead of to special
tribunals where the element of compro-
mise is always liable to creep in. We
should work steadily for such court
The address of President Nicholas Muir
ray Butler of Columbia University before
the conference contained a strong defense
of the provisions in the proposed arbitra-
ton treaties with England and France,
lately turned down by the United States
Senate, and was replete with yelled sar-
casm anent the activities of certain poll
ticians in defeating the measures.

Illustrations in American public life of the
unhappy effects of carrying on political
discussion, both on the platform and in
the press. in the language of lunatic asy-
lum and with the manners of the prize
ring" He stated that 1.-The political brag-
CART at home is the political bully
abroad" and gave it as his opinion that
there are those high in public life who
appeared to adhere to the precepts of
Artemus Ward. when he said:
Il have no principles; l am in the show
business
Though President Butler refrained from
mentioning names, his illusions were
taken to refer to the activities of an ex-
President of the United States in attack
ing the proposed arbitration treaties.
They elected much laughter and storm
Of applause.
Americans Real Offenders.
President Butler affirmed that the
American people were the real offenders
in large number of the recent in
stances of international complications
and said that until the people of this
country, as we'll as those Of the other
civilized countries of the world had &C
quired what he termed the International
mind efforts to secure universal peace
through arbitration must fail
In conclusion he said:
AT the moment we are being ruled
and represented by the noisy and we'll or
ganized majorities of minorities. and we
are sliding backward In political dignity
and political wisdom every hour. When
the people as whole grasp this fact as
they surely will, they will assert them
selves with no uncertain voice. and our
nation will once more put its feet in the
path of progress. The moment that sober
reason resumes its rule our cause will
be secure.

LABOR WANTS
REPRESENTATION

But organized labor is clamor-

own in the Cabine+, and appar.
emily will have one withln & year
or two. The bill for a Depart.
ment of Labor has passed the
House and been ia vorably report
ed to the Senate. If it can not
be driven thru there at this ses-
sion, it will be at the next ses-
sion or in the next Congress.
Then organized labor will be
coming forward with candidates
for the Cabinet. There will be
efforts to choose men of such
high character and attainments
as Com missioner Charles P,
Neill, of the Bureau of Labor.

sidents hereafter Will bs to get e
man of that type rather than the
type Of man who rises to the
head of labor organizations.
The chances are chat tie head

of I migration was created by
act of Congress. Organized la
