ADDS TO BULWARkS
AGAINST HASTY WAR
Signing OF Four Treaties Between u.
5. and Other Nations B!irSS Mil
lions Within Foil.

Washington, Sept 1j.---T"eates be-
tween the United Sttles and Great
Britain, France, Spail and China
were signed today by Secretary Bryan
and the British, f'ren~1, Spanish and
the Chinese ambassa lurs. T'lcse pacts,
the Washington government believes,
will make armed conflict between the
United States and these nations al
most if not entirely impossible.
They provide that all disputes which
can oot be settled by diplomacy shall
be submitted to a permanent commits
sion for investigation for one year.
Similar in principle to the %
treaties previously, signed, the four
pacts signed today are regarded as
the most advanced peace step which
the American government has taken.
Secretary Bryan dispatched tele-
grams to the American embassies and
legations in Germany, Russia, Austria
and Belgium notifying them of the
signing of the conventions and ex-
pressed the desire of the United
States to sign similar treaties with
those couEtries all OF which have
indorsed the principle Of the peace
plan. Japan alone has not accepted
the prime pie or entered into nego-
tiations, it became known today, be-
cause of the desire Of the ministry
there, not to confuse the Japanese
public while the alien land contro-
yersy is being adjusted.
One of the practical effects of the,
treaties signed today is to make more
remote than ever the possibility Of the
United. States being drawn into the
present European war over any deli
cate questions of neutrality. which
might arise with Great Britain or
France. Members Of the cabinet and
administration officials witnessed the
signing ceremony In the Office Of the;
secretary Of. state. Mrs. Bryan and
personal friends of the secretary also
were present. ~
=. Afterwards Mr.. Bryan issued tine,
following staement:
"The signing of the four treaties
today with Great Britain. France,
Spain and China brings under treaty
obligations more than 9Oe,OOO,OOO Of
people. These, when added to the
population OF the United States and
the population of the % countries with
similar treaties, which have hereto
fore been signed, brings under the
influence of these treats considera-
bly, more than two-thirds of the in
habitants of the globe AS these treat
les all provide for investigation of all
matters in dispute before any declara-
ton Of war or commencement of hos
tilities, it is believed that they will
make armed conflict between the con-
tracting nations almost if not entirely
impossible. The government is graft
fed to take this long step in the di-
rection of peace and is not only will
ing. but anxious to make similar
treaties with all other nations
The cabinet officers, ambassadors
and ministers who witnessed the sign
ing of the treaties were given lunch
con at the University club later.
Speeches were made advocating peace,
but no direct references were made to
III European war.

Urges Prosecution.
! M. P. Howell, county chairman of
! Colleton county, and nephew of John
J. Howell, made a singing argument
| for the throwing out of the Dorches-
ter box, on the ground that it was
reeking with fraud Mr.. Howell said
! he appeared not as paid attorney,
! but as citizen of the First congress
sional district, and asserted in en-
phatic manner that this Dorchester
club was rotten and called on the
! committee to start the effort here to-
day to purify the First congressional
district He demanded that the box
be thrown out and those responsible
for the fraud be prosecuted.
Both OF the attorneys for the con-
| testants harked back to the Whaley
Hughes election in 1913, and yividly
pictured what they said was the
wholesale fraud practiced at the Dor
chester poll then paying their respects
to o. B. Limehouse, to whom they laid
much of the blame, charging that he
controlled and "bossed" this poll and
threw it's votes to whom he pleased.
Pro and Con.
James M. Moore, of Colleton County,
demanded that the box be thrown out.
Legrand Walker, of Summerville, Dor
chester member OF the executive COM
mittee, said he did not believe whole
sale fraud was practiced, and that the
disparity in the names on the certified
list and the club roll came from mis-
spelling at the hands Of the clerk Of
managers, and he argued against the
motion to throw out the box.
On motion OF S.. oliver O'Bryan, of
Clarendon county, arcommittee,- con-
sisting Of Mr.. O'Bryan, T. B. Butler,
tof Cherokee, and S. H. McGee, of
Greenwood, was appointed to check

filed with the clerk Of court. This
| committee reported lthat thirty-three'
names not on the certified list in the
clerks Office had been allowed to vote
at the Dorchester poll and one, which
was not on either list.
One point stressed by the attorneys
for the contestants was the affidavit
OF the managers that they had per-
mitted two men to vote who were not
entitled to vote, and this Mr. Howell
argued, tended to prove fraud, and
he demanded that the committee insti-
tute prosecutions. Following the COM
mittee reports the Folk motion to
throw out the Dorchester box prevail

The: committee adopted resolution
proposing to the next State conven-
ton to amend the rules so as to pro-
vide that the delegates from each
county shall meet Immediately after
the county convention and select their
members of the credentials committee
and that this committee shall get in
Columbia one day prior to the State
convention at the call of the chair

ton These amendments the commit

that the election had been fair. Mr..

and argued that no case Of fraud had

be affirmed.
