Webster Williams accomplished an
almost miraculous feat Thursday. lie
was in a team owned and being driven
by w. s. Cunningham of Scion and
while coming up Water street the
sleigh hit the horses heels. This start
ed the animal into a run and the own
er jumped out. leaving Mr.. Williams
in the team alone. He gathered up the
reins Just before he got to the railroad
crossing and as the gates were being
lowered for an outgoing train. Before
he could pull the horse round the gates
were down, leaving a space between
them just large enough for his body
to go through. The horse plunged I'M
der and it happened that Mr.. Will
liams went through the narrow gap,
but his clothes were scaled by the
ends of the gate-hars. The horse con-
tinued down Water street and Mr..
Williams finally succeeded in stopping
him uninjured on the island.

Treaties Embodying Investiga-
ton of Difficulties Likely with
France and with Great Britain

what are known as the ''ABC" countries
of South America as well as with Great
Britain and France, it is expected Secre-
tary Bryan will transmit the pacts to the
Senate for ratification 1t has not yet
been determined whether the proposed
convention with France will provide that
in the event of a controversy hostilities
would not be entered into during the pc
Rod of investigation, nor whether the
military and naval status quo would be
maintained pending the report of the in
vestigating commission. The administra-
ton is hopeful that with the consumma-
ton of these treaties it's first step in the
cause of universal peace and the aboli-
ton of war will have been attained. Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Bryan share
the belief that if nations will agree to
take time and think while an investiga-
ton of their differences is being made,
the possibility of war will be reduced to
a minimum
