PEACE CONFERENCE
NEXT YEAR ASSURED
President Wilson Takes In
itial Step at Instance of
Queen of Holland.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The United
house today. has issued call for the
holding of the third peace conference
at The Hague next year. This govern.
ment took this action, it is understood,
at the request of Queen WiIhelmina of
Holland.
Failure of the next Hague confer
ence has been threatened through the
neglect of some OF the great powers to
take necessary steps for the prepera"
tion of the programme OF subjects 10 be
considered IN time 10 insure the assem-
bly, of the conference next year,
One of the protocols adopted at the
last conference recommended that the
governments appoint individual commit
tees to present lists of subjects to be
placed on the programme for the meet.
ing two years IN advance of actual date
of assembly, which was to be In 1915
if the usual practice was to be followed.
the United States appointed as its
committee Reuben Clarke Of Utah, then
solicitor of the department of state;
Judge Advocate General CrowdeE for
the army, and Rear Admiral Vain
wright for the navy. This committee
has completed its work.
Few other nations, however, had met
their obligations in this respect. Today
the state department suggested to the
various governments, at the instance of
Queen Wilhelmina, that they designate
the administrative council of the per-
manept court of arbitration at The
Hague, as members Of a special com
mittee to arrange the programme for
the third conference. This council is
composed of the ministers of foreign
countries resident at The Hague, the
United States being represented by Min
lister Van Dyke. If the responses re-
ceived are favorable about which
there is little doubt, the individual
members of the council will receive the
instructions of their own governments
sition to speedily weld them together
and fix a date for the gathering
which probably will be in July, next
year.

gathered by the government in the case
OF John Burke manager of the Panama
railroad commissary department, charged
with irregularities in dealing With con-
tra ctors has been sent by the depart
ment OF justice to Snowden Marshall,
United States district attorney at New
York.
The Panama railroad is New York
corporation and the evidence in the case
was sent to Mr.. Marshall for his informa-
ton Final determination Of the depart
ment's action Will, however. be made by
Attorney General McReynolds and Will
liam Wallace, Jr,, who has charge of the
case. The case against Burke hinges
on whether he Was an employee OF the
United States when he was manager for
the commissary department OF a private
corporation. the stock OF which is owned
by the government. If he was found not
to be a government employee no criminal
action could be taken because of the
alleged acceptance Of commissions on
contra cts. Although it was understood
here tonight that department attorneys
think Burke is a federal employee. in
vestigation has convinced them that it
may be possible 70 proceed along other
lines without proving this.
For the present no attempt will be
made 10 have Burke come 10 the United
States. So far as is known no charge
ever has been made that the United

ment that "a proposal for arbitration

jected by the employers While the miners
were willing TO accept IT, the operators
say:
1.-The only proposal for arbitration was
signed by Governor Ammons and Secre-
tsry Wilson. This proposal was with
drawn by Secretary Wilson and Governor
Ammons when their attention was called
to the fact that the terms OF another pro-
possl. which they had made, had not
been compiled with. and suggested that
until the miners had acted thereon 1t was
inadvisa BILE TO consider any other.
The sccretary's statement that prob
ably thirty or forty persons had been
killed on each side was not confirmed 80
be known facts" continues the operators
statement.
"The only authenticated killings which
had been brought TO the attention OF the
authorities were thirteen persons, nine
of whom were guards or other compa ny
employees. three strikers and one out"
slider killed at Ludlow. During the say
of Secretary Wilson in Colorado he spent
practically all OF his time with the strike
leaders. -
