SENATE COMMITTEE GETS
BRYAN PEACE PLAN SOON
Secretary of State to Urge World
Wide Treaties Submitting All
Disputes to Arbitration.

Secretary Bryan's preliminary plans for
will be laid informally before the Senate
foreign relations committee tomorrow.
Mr.. Bryan had been at work for some
time upon a crystallization of his ideas
for International peace. and it is under
stood that he is now prepared to recon-
mend a series of worldwide treaties for
the submission of all disputes to arbitra-
ton, and a limitation upon ornaments.
The unusual course of discussing his
peace plans first with members of the
Senate committee has been chosen, it is
understood, to pave the way in the Senate
for any subsequent treaties that may be
introduced.
While members of the Senate generally
favored the arbitration treaties negO-
tiated with Great Britain and France
during former President Tafts admins
tratiOn, those conventions were practi-
cally defeated, because the Senate would
not accept the provision for the submits
sion of all disputes 10 arbitration.
1t is understood that Mr.. Bryan has in
mind the arbitration of all disputes. The
Secretary's suggestions as to the limita-
ton Of armament. it is said, will include
the proposal that when vital questions
have been submitted to a. commission of
inquiry neither country party to the dis
pute shall in any way increase it's arma-
ment or make further preparation for
war until the commission has reported
its findings.

PREPARING FOR CAMPAIGN
TO RAISE $500, 900 FUND

A number of men prominent in Wash
ington's business, professional and
social life expect to announce in a day
or two the Inauguration of a campaign
to begin May . which is to have for it's
object the raising of 100000 in twelve
days for the purpose of building a new
Emergency Hospital.
Woodbury. Blair is chairman of the
executive committee in charge of the
arrangements being made, and associat-
ed with him in the effort will be Will
liam CorcOran Eustis, John F. wilkins
William F.. GUIDE, Robert N Harper and
others. They have retained the serv-
ices of Edgar G. Honey. professional
conductor of campaigns to raise money
who is said to have been successful in
such work in his own city of New York
and elsewhere in connectio particular
ly with Y. NJ. c. A. work
The committee has rented, temporarily
the quarters formerly occupied by the
Cafe Republique, at 10th and r streets
northwest, where clerks have been in
stalled for the purpose of preparing liter
allure, lists of names to be circularized
and other information to be used in con-
nection with the work, which is said to
include novel features not hitherto used
in Washington.
Temporary plans for the proposed new
building for the Emergency Hospital have
been drawn by Nathan c. Wyeth.

NEEDS BRTAIN' SCONSENT
Otherwise u. S. Cannot Abro-
gate Existing Treaties,
Officials Assert.

Senator Chamberlain S resolution for
the abrogaton of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, in the opinion of the State De-
partment officials. will be confronted with
the contention that neither that treaty
nor the Clayton-Bulwer treaty can be
abrogated by the action of the United
States without the consent of Great
Britain.
These treaties, the officials point out
are in the nature of civil contracts
and where one party, the United States
for instance, has acquired valuable
consideration under their terms, it can
not escape the liability without the full
of the second party.
DiplOmatically and according to the
verbiage of interna tional law, the sta rus
of the United States, they hold. is one
of national servitude.'
Legal officers of the government seem
to be of the opinion that nothing can be
done by the President or Congress
toward terminating the treaties except
by the consent of Great Britain or
under the terms of an arbitration.

ACHIEVE
ANOTHER BIG VICTORY
Pennsylvania Senate Passes
Resolution for State Vote
on Question.

HARRISBURG. Pa. April 22.-The suf-
fragettes won great victory in the
Pennsylvania legislature today, when the
senate passed, with barely the necessary
number of votes, the joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the state consti-
tuition giving women the right to vote.
The vote was 26 to %.
The resolution had previously passed
the house, and it must be adopted by
the legislature of 1915 after which it goes
to the people for ratification.
Thinks Men Should Vote.
In debate today Senator Powell of Pitts
burgh, who has been leading the suffra-
gette fight in the senate, said the men OF
the state should be given an opportunity
to vote on this all-important subject.
Senator Salus of Philadelphia made al
extended speech in which he sad thai
it was unmanly for senators to vote FOL
the resolution on the floor of the SEN
ate and then go home and work and
vote against it at the polls.
Their Courage Questioned.
The senators, he said, should have the
courage of their convictions and vote
against the resolution on the floor. He
called the attention of the senators tc
their duties as laid down in the consti
tuition. He said the senate should stand
for law as against mob rule, hysteria anC
Political tricksters.

GOV. JOHNSON EXPLAINS
ALIEN LAND LEGISLATION
First Statement California Execu-
tive Has Made Over Pend
ing Enactment.

SACRAMENTO. Cal, April 22.-Gov.
Johnson gave out last night the fol-
lowing statement regarding the pend
ing alien land legislation This is the
first statement the governor has made
on the subject:
'CallfornlanS are unable to under
stand why an act. admittedly within
the jurisdiction of the California legis-
lature, like the passage Of an alien
land bill, creates tumult, confusion and
criticism. and why this local act of un-
doubted right becomes an internation-
al question. OF course, the California
legislature would not attempt to con-
travene any treaty Of the nation, nor
to do more than has been done by the
federal government itself and many
other states.
ITO say that California must do less
or be subjected to harsh criticism and
the charge of disruptiIg friendly rela-
tions with foreign powers is to deny
to California what has been freely ac-
corded to every other state in the
Union. and what has never been ques-
toned with any other state.
Our legislature is now considering
an alien land bill in general language
and not discriminatory. If terms are
used which are claimed to be discrim-
inatory those very terms long since
were made SO by many enactments and
by the laws Of the nation itself"

GIVEN OBJECT LESSON.
Justice Gould Enabled to Review
Chemistry During a Trial.

Justice Gould, presiding in Criminal
Court No 2. had an opportunity today
to review his college course in chemistry.
His bench was furnished with a spectre
scope in full operation. The justice was
allowed to look through the instrument
and note the red streak shown on the
spectrum when lithium was burned be-
fore 1t, and also to see the effect on the
spectrum when the so-called lithia water
was examined before it.
The demonstration was given by
chemists offered as witnesses by the
government TO prove that a certain
brand Of lithia water is mislabeled
under the construction of the pure
food and drug act. The government
inspectors claim there is not sufficient
lithium In the water to give 1t any
medicinal value, and that it is mis-
leading to So designate the water.
Counsel for the water company claim
the water sold by them has been desig
mated as lithia water since 1878. and that
the therapeutic value of the water does
not enter into the consideration of the
question Of the right to use the label.
