believes. too, that the enactment Of
such a treaty with Nicaragua would
be followed by the enactment of
similar treaties with other American
republics. notably Honduras.
Senator Bacon's Views.
Senator Bacon. chairman of the
foreign relations committee, who has
intimated that he probably would
favor the proposed treaty and the
principle that it implies. said:
II would not favor such a treaty as
that negotiated in the former admin
istration for the reason that 1t prac-
tically turned the financial affairs of
Nicaragua over to lot of private
bankers. and put the army and navy
of the United States behind them to
enforce their contract and the pay
ment of their debts. When the pro-
visions of the Flat amendment, per-
haps In modified form. are applied to
Nicaragua. as they have been applied
principally In Cuba, lit puts an alto
gether different complexion on the
matter, and is entitled to the most
careful consideration.
II would prefer not to have any
thing to do with the internal affairs of
Nicaragua, or any other country, but
II conditions require that we should
take part in them. then. in my opin-
ion. we should have some such con-
troll or supervision as Is furnished by
the provisions found in the Plat
amendment. 1t may be necessary, and
probably will be necessary. to modify
these provisions to make them more
directly applicable to conditions in
Nicaragua
Inaugurates New Policy.
THE serious feature about the
proposition Is that If adopted in the
case Of Nicaragua 1t will be the inau-
guration of a more far-reaching pol
icy, which will not be limited to Mica
ragua, but which In time. as neces-
sity arises. will doubtless be extended
to other Central American States. If
conditions require us to interfere In
Nicaragua, il liz much better that we
do so pursuant to law and in obedience
to law made. by treaty or otherwise.
rather than that we should proceed
lawlessly and in violation Of law as
was done when the marines were sent
to the capital OF Nicaragua in the
last administration and took actual
part in their civil strife"

who shared with her late husband.
DIR. Curie, in the discovery OF radium.
will settle down here at the beginning
of October. She will open a labora-
tory for the preparation of radiurn.
Nine. Curie will superintend a rad
iological laboratory in connection with
the Warsaw Society of Science. This
new work will be along the same lines
as those of the Pathological institute
of Paris. which Professor Curie found
ed, and which, since his death in
1906. has been managed by his widow.
The greater part of Nine. Curie's
work will be devoted 10 the prepare
ton of radium.
For various reasons Nine. Curie is
glad TO return TO Warsaw to live.
First, she liz n native of Warsaw. her
father having been a famous scien-
| list. but after his death she was COM
PEELED TO leave Poland on account OF
political intrigues. She went to Paris.
where her wonderful work Ia well
known. Secondly, Mime. Curie is UNI
douhtedly glad to leave Paris. because
of the gossip and the court proceed
ings in which her name was connected
with that OF Professor Langevin. of
the College of raFnce.
After the death OF Professor Curie.
Professor Langevin and Nine. Curie
did much work together. Letters
were exchanged between them. A
quarrel followed between Professor
Langevin and his wife, with the re-
suit that the professor went away.
taking two of his children with him.
and Nine. Langevin sued for a separa-
ton. Letters written by Mime. Cur.e
were published Although Nine.
Langevin won her suit. the name of
Mime. Curie' was not mentioned in the
decree. The affair caused much dis
cussion. and bioodless duels between
sympathizers of one or the other.
Following that affair Count Joseph
Potocki, one of Fofand's greatest mag
mates, founded the new laboratory on
condition that Nine. Curie would take
charge of 1t. Although the famous
scientist at first agreed to spend only
part OF her time i'm Warsaw, she has
changed her mind, and will spend the
remainder of her life here.
After the death of her husband, Nine
Curie was selected TO take his place in
the Sorbonne a. lecturer.
