the youth of the capital were TO be
permitted to indulge in public NANTES

Third Part Of Peace Plan Given
to the Nations.
PROVISIONS FOR EMERGENCY
Affects Military and Naval Prepara-
tions Among Disputants Dur
ing investigation OF
Differences.

tain the status quo as to military and
naval preparations among disputants
during the period of investigation of
international differences constitutes
the third and fi,ial proposal in Secre-
tary Bryan's peace plan.
In making that portion of the pro-
posal public Secretary Bryan said that
the obligation to maintain the status
quo would not be obligatory in the
event of danger to either of the two
contracting parties from third party.
The proposal, which he submitted to
the 20 nations which have accepted
his plan in principle as well as to the
other 19 nations not yet heard from, is
as follows
"This Government is prepared to
consider the question of maintaining
the status quo as to military and naval
preparations during the period of in
vestigation, II the contracting nation
desires to include this, and this Gov
Aernment suggests tentatively that the
parties agree that there shall be no
change in the military and naval pro-
tion unless danger to one of the con-
tracing parties from a third party
compels change in said program, in
which case the party feeling itself
menaced by a third power shall con-
fidentially communicate the matter in
writing to the other contracting party
and it shall thereupon be released
from the obligation not to change its
military OF naval program. and this
release win = the same time operate
as a release OF the other contracting
/ parties This protects each party
from the other In ordinary cases and
yet porvides freedom of action in
emergencies
The proposals previously announced
provide for a international commits
sion of five members, one from each
of the contracting countries, to be
chosen by the government one to be
chosen by each of the contracting
countries from some other country and
the fifth to be agreed upon by the two
contracting governments. One year is
suggested as proper time for the in
vestigation OF the subject under dis
pute.
"All of these suggestions" said Sec
retary Bryan, discussing his plan, "are
presented for consideration, and not
with the intention of imposing any
fixed conditions. The principle of in
vestigation being accepted. the details
are matters for conference and con-
sideration.'
The 20 nations which have accepted
the principle of the peace proposal, in
the order named, are:
Italy, Great Britain, France. Brazil,
Sweden, Norway, Peru Russia,
Austria-Hungary. Netherlands, Japan,
Germany, Bolivia, Argentina, China,
Dominican Republic, Haiti. Spain,
Portugal and Belgium
The peace plan as originally enunci-
ated by President Wilson was as fol-
lows:
"The parties hereto agree that all
questions OF whatever character and
nature in dispute between them shall,
when diplomatic efforts fail, be sub
mitted for investigation and report to
an international commission (the COM
position to be- agreed upon), and the
contracting parties agree not to de-
clare war or begin hostilities until
such investigation is made and report
submitted"

proqressives Hold whip Hand.

1t is we'll to remember when the
events of a year ago are reviewed
that the so-called split that produced
the Progressive party was horizontal
and not perpendicular. The great
body Of the party was progressive;
the bosses and the officeholders-the
mere top layer-were reactionary.
The secession of the Progressives
left nothing to the Republican party
but the bosses and the name-and
left them up in the air. Viewed thus
properly the efforts of the bosses to
re-estabish Citations with the ground
removed from under their feet. by
''harmonizing" the Progressive and
Republican parties, are amusing to
contemplate.

IRON And Steel 60
ON The FREE LIST
Senate Committee Eliminates
I<-~.....i on Raw Materials.

At Washington. D. c., the transfer
to the free list of the tariff bill OF iron
and steel raw materials with an esti-
mated duitable value of more than
100000 a year was approved by the
majority members OF the senate fl
nance committee. This increased the
senate's additions to the Underwood
free list to an aggregate annual loss
of 100000 in revenue, making the
total estimated annual revenue loss
from the free list about $27 100000.
After an entire day spent on the
subcommittee report of the metal
schedule Chairman Simmons an
nounced it had been widely cut, near
ly every item of the schedule being
reduced. To the free list were added
pig iron, ferro manganese, steel
blooms, slabs and billets. On all fin
ished steel products an average re-
the Underwood rates.
Lead, zinc and aluminium were
left unsettled, to be determined upon
later. Aluminium will be changed
from an ad valorem to specific tar
Tiff basis and the duty will be reduced,
but it will not be transferred to the
free list, as many had advocated. AL
minimum experts will be called in by
the committe to go over the commit
tees proposed specific rates, and if
no mistakes have been made in COM
putting the change the subcommittee
rates will be approved.

DECIDES AGAINST CHARLTON
Supreme Court Surrenders Him to

Italy for Trial.
The United States supreme court
at Washington has rendered a de-
cision surrendering Porter Charlton
to Italy for trial for the murder of his
wife at Lake Como.
The killing of Mrs. Charlton stirred
Europe and America as have few
murders of recent years. With the
discovery OF her body stuffed into a
trunk and sunk in Lake Como, both
continents turned to search for the
murderer.
That question was solved when
Porter Charlton through the agency
of wireless telegraphy, was found on
a steamer bound from Italy TO the
United States. He was arrested a
few days later when the ship landed
at Hoboken, n. J., and that night
there appeared a confession bearing
his name.

BRYAN ON MEXICO
Declares American Interests
Seek Intervention SeIfishIy.
FORTUNES THEIR ONLY CARE
Secretary of State Refuses to Join
in the Movement Merely for the
Protection of Property Worth Ap-
proximateIy $250000,o0o.


That the Wilson administration
will not in any way intervene in the
Mexican revolution or participate OF
any drastic movement for the sole pur-
pose of protecting the financial in
terests of Americans in Mexico has
just been reiterated with emphasis
by Secretary of State Bryan.
To a delegation of nine Americans,
representing approximately S250,0O0,.
900 worth of interests in Mexico, Sec
rotary Bryan is said to have made it
plan that there will be no interven-
ton to save property, that there will
be no participation with other ma
tions in a message of warning to
Huerta or the Mexican people against
the destruction of property of foreign
ers, and that there will be no change
of our policy of neutrality to the ex-
tent of letting the revolutionists and
the government alike get all the arms
they want from this country to the
end that the revolution may be fought
out decisively.
Bryan Blunt in Language.
Secretary Bryan is declared to have
been so blunt in his dealings with
the committee that some of the men
who participated in the conference
felt insulted. They say Secretary
Bryan at one point in the conference
declared they were not presenting the
case with candor; that they had
come to him speaking for the dollars
and cents they have invested in Mex
leo, and that they were merely feign-
ing when they made their appeal on
behalf of the safety of the American
men and women in that country.
Three Texans participated in the
conference. They were w. N. Pence
Of Midland, representing Nelson Nor
ris, the packer; w. w. Turney and
Charles Newman of Ell Paso. Others
participating were Brice Mckinney of
Cleveland, who holds large mining
interests; Joseph Quailey of New
York, and H. S. Stevenson of Califor-
uia.
Pearson Interests Keep Out.
Suggestions of intervention and of
letting down the neutrality bars SO
the insurgents might be put on the
same footing as the government in
the matter of obtaining arms have
been made from time to time since
the fall of the Diaz regime, but the
suggestion that this country join with
the European governments in a
warning to the Mexican government
against the destruction of property
of foreigners was for the first time
formally presented to the state de-
partment by the representatives of
American interests in Mexico.
1t is said the committee wanted to
give an international Importance to
its suggestion by having the Pearson
Uord Cowdray) interests participate
in the conference According to the
reports surrent in connection with
the matter, the Pearson interests de-
clined to join in the representations
to Secretary Bryan.
