SLAP CLAIRE
ON WRIST At
SWELL CLUB
Clar-A-nee Thought He Was
Running Rainier Club,
But He Wasn't.
BEAT HIS CANDIDATE
Harry Treats a Nice Fellow,
All Right. But Backer
Gets Him in Wrong.


They put creased sklds under
ClarAnce Blsthen at the Rainier
club Saturday night
And incidentally they put EN-
rnder Harry Whitney Treat. too
mot because they have anything
Against Harry. because they
haven't-hut because CiarAnce had
assumed the role of manager of
Treats campaign for vice presi.
dent.
= Saturday was election day at the
Rainier club. and for some time
previous CisrAnce had been very
busy In framing everything so
there would be no mistakes.
Hervey Lindlcy. vice president
for the past year. was TO be elect
ed president In line with the prcce-
dent established some years ago.
This left the real contest up 10 the
vice presidency.
Looks Like clarAoee
CiarAnce determined that Harry
Treat would suit him. and Harry
became q candidate. Then the
friends Of Jack" Eden. known so
ciaiiy as John c. c. Eden. placed
him in the field and the contest
was on.
But Eden wasn't very active
candidate and didnt care whether
he was elected or not. and II look
ed as though ClarAnce might be
successful.
No one cared very much, as a
matter Of fact, who filled the office
OF vice president. but they were in
terested In the presidency a year
from now. AZ the one led TO the
other. there grew a feeling that IL
was about time someone did some
thing TO CiarAnce.
They Frame Up q Job
So some OF the older members
OF the club got together Friday
night and before they were
through. had the signatures OF i5O
men who had agreed 10 vote for
George Donworth for the vice
presidency, and they had Efen's
. withdrawal from the contest so
that all OF the opposition should be
centered upon the Blethen candi-
date.
They liked Harry Treat all night,
and. witho.t the Blethen support.
there would have been no objec-
tion TO him.
He Is a popular member Of the
club and members agree he would
make a good president.
Twas Too Big . Load
But clarAnce was too big load
So on Saturday they wen, 10 the
polls and wrote on their ballots
the name Of George Donworth
And when the votes were counted
on Saturday night II was found
that Treat had gone down with his
manager. CiarAnce.
II was a bad night for ClarAnce.
He seemed not to enjoy himself
az the banquet rendered the club
later in the evening by the new
president. Hervey Lndley.

DIPLOMATS HEAR
BRYAN'S PEACE PLAN
International Board to Investigate All
Causes Of Dispute that Might
Cause War, Is Proposed.

Washington. D. c.. April 24-Secre-
tary Bryan today laid before the diplO-
matte corps his plans for an interna-
tional agreement for peace. Almost
every ambassador and minister in
Washington met at the secretary's Of
flee at noon in response to his invita-
ton and heard his explanation of the
plan, which soon will be the basis OF
treaty negotiations.
Mr.. Bryan later said the outline he
presented to the diplomats did not go
into detail because details are a mat
ter of agreement between the contract
ing nations and might be different in
different cases
THE statement presented to the dip
lomatic representatives" said secre-
tarv Bryan" is only intended to set
forth the main proposition namely,
that the president desires to enter into
an agreement with each nation for the
investigation of all questions of every
nature This agreement is intended to
supplement the arbitration treaties
now in existence and those that may
be made hereafter. Arbitration treaties
already except some questions from ar
bitratiOn. The agreement proposed by
the president is intended to close the
gap and leave no dispute that can be-
come a cause for war without investi-
cation.

Concentrated Misery OF n Nation.
All the misery of Mexico seemed
concentrated in the pathetic creatures
who were at the union station waiting
to be taken to Juarez where their SOL
diers could be cared for in the hos
pital Of the white cross. They hud-
died in little groups in the corners OF
the station sheds, as II coWed BY the
circumstances Of their existence. In
the chill of a west wind, they shivered
under their shawls Of thinnest ma
terial and in garments which were lit
tie more than rags Many carried
children in arms and others led lit
tie, soiled sons and daughters of the
army, whose future could lead to
nothing more than the army or the

iOus figures in the revolutions Of the
