dennity being paid for the death of
their child, Mrs. Maria Cox, of 22S

According to Mrs. Cox, her husband
left her several years ago. and during
his absence contributed nothing for
the support of herself and their three
children, and that he only returned to
Newark a short time ago, when he
learned of the death of his child and
that when those responsible for the
death had agreed to pay 81 q week
for 300 weeks he put in a claim for
the guardianship, and was appointed
custodian of the money.
The case was first taken to the
cellor Howell ordered the husband to

ENJOYS OF POWERS
HEAR PEACE PLAN.
Secretary Bryan Presents His
Proposal to End War to
Diplomatic Representatives.

WASHINGTON, April 24.--secretary
Bryan today laid before the diplo-
matte corps his plans for an interna-
tional agreement for peace Almost
every ambassador and minister in
Washington was at the secretary
office at noon, in response TO his invi-
tation. 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 diplomatist did not
go into detail because details are a
matter of agreement between the con-
tracing nations and might be differ
emit in different cases.
Sets Forth the Proposal.
The statement presented to the dip
| lomatic representatives" said Secre-
! tery Bryan, lis 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 whatever This
agreement is intended to supplement-
the arbitration treaties now in exist
ence and those that may be made
| hereafter. Arbitration treaties al
ready 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.
"The time within which the report
is to be made is left to be agreed
upon and 1t may be that the time
will differ in different cases, but any
time, however short, furnishes an
opportunity for investigation and
elaboration and it is hoped that the
period provided for investigation and
| elaboration will be sufficient to Sc.
cure settlement without resort &c
! war
Each VIII BE Independent.
Each party is to reserve the right
to act independently after report is
submitted, but it is not likely thai
nation will declare war after it ha6
an opportunity to confer, during the
Investigation, with the opposing ma.
| ton.
But whether the proposed agree
ment accomplishes as much as 1.
hoped for 1t. is is at least steT
in the direction Of the universal
peace, and ] am pleased to be the
agent through whom the President
presents this proposition to the
powers represented here"

Gore to an Evening Star reporter to-

first introduced into industrial insur-

I'm the early dates. when insurance
was young, the rates were high.
I'm later years we discovered that
the rates were too high and paid
back to the policy-holders the excess

protection of their families.
For want OF a better name we
called this refund payment a

CARDS it in the nature of regular

WRIT OF ERROR FOR MAN
WHO SLEW WIFE AND BABY

Frank NJ. McDermit. counsel for
William Henry Overton. who on June
rs, 1912, killed his wife and 4 months
old boy by hanging them to a bed
post in a room at their home, Ga
Waverly avenue, today sued out a
writ of error in the office of the sec
rotary of state asking that a new
trial be granted Overton
Overton is now in the death cham
Der at the Trenton State prison under
sentence to die in the electric chair
during the week commencing next
Monday, the same date as that set
for the death of Mrs. Maddalena Cic-
cone, who may be reprieyed by the
Court of Pardons today.
The request for a new trial for
Overton is based on the rather PEI
cullar proposition that oyerton was
twice placed in Jeopardy of his life
in the space of an hour. It happened
in this way: After the jury had re-
tired they deliberated for a consider
able length of time and then returned
to court with a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree with a
recommendation to the mercy Of the
court"
Such verdict could not be received
by the court and Judge Harry ".
Osborne, the trial juge so informed
the jury, at the same time giving
them further instructions on the law
governing verdicts and degrees of
homicide. After a short elaboration
the jury dropped the mercy recon-
mendatIon and brought in first de-
gree verdict.
1t is the contention of Mr. McDer-
NIT that the first verdict was tanta-
mount to a verdict of second degree
murder, and that Judge Osborne
erred in sending the jury out for the
second time.
