FOR 20 MORE
PEACE TREATIES
President Notifies Senate He
Wishes to Have Them Ratified
BRYAN EXPLAINS THE REASON
In Most OF Present Agreements There
Are Exceptions That Do Not
Prevent Recourse To
Arms.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son, through Secretary Bryan, has noti-
fed the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee he wishes to press for ratiica-
ton before adjournment of this ses-
sion of Congress the new peace treaties
signed with 20 foreign powers.
The Presidents plan was communi-
Gated in a statement to members Of
the committee by Secretary Bryan.
l'Copies will be sent to every Senator
when the treaties are submitted for
ratification this week.
In his statement Secretary Bryan set
forth the following analysis of the gen.
eral purposes of the treaties:
"That investigation shall be resorted
to i'll all cases where the ordinary re-
sources Of diplomacy fail.
THAT the contracting parties reserve
the right to act independently on the
subject matter after the submission of
the report.
THAT there shall be no appeal to
force until the investigation is COM
pleted.
"That the commission (in each. case)
be composed Of five members, one
chosen from each country from among
its own citizens, one chosen by each
country from another country, and the
fifth to be chosen by agreement of the
two countries from some third country.
In few cases provision is made for
the appointment Of the fifth member
by the four members or by some
neutral power or tribunal in case the
two countries cannot agree"
Discussing, the proposed treaties,
Secretary Bryan said:
"In most of our treaties there are
certain exceptions and in most Of these
treaties the exceptions are: The vital
interests, the independence and honor
of the two countries and the interests
of third parties 1t is evident that
these arbitration treaties do not pre-
vent recourse to hostilities with regard
to the causes included in the excep-
ton clause. 1t is the intention that
the treaties now being exchanged shall
close this gap and leave no cause for
a declaration of war and the beginning
of hostilities until there has been an
Investigation of the differences. 1t is
believed an investigation will not only
give time for the subsistence Of passion
and the restoration of calm and de-
liberate judgment, but that it will also
be useful in separating questions of
fact and questions of honor"
Treaties already have been signed
with Salvador. Guatemala, Panama,
Honduras, Nicaragua, the Netherlands,
Bolivia, Portugal, Persia, Denmark,
Switzerland, Costa Rica, Dominican
Republic, Venezuela, Italy, Norway and
Peru.

MINE GUARDS
ARE EXECUTED
Bodies Thrown in Cabin, Then
Set on Fire.
CHARRED REMNANTS FOUND
Labor War In Arkansas Coal Dis
trlet Becomes savaae-com-
pany Employe Tells OF
Crime.

Fort Smith, Ark.-The finding of
charred fragments of the bodies of
two men in the ruins Of log cabin
and reports of an attempt to destroy
the surface workings of another mine
owned by the Bache-Denman Coal
Company were Sunday developments
in the conflict between strikers and
non-union coal miners and other en-
ployes in the Hartford Valley coal
fields.
The discovery of parts Of two skulls
and human bones, raked from the
embers Of the log cabin, explains, it
is believed, the disappearance of ]. w.
Sylesberry and John Baskins, mine
guards, after Fridays battle at Prairie
Greek and tends to confirm state
pent sworn to by Sam c. Thomas, a
company employe, that he witnessed
the execution of Sylesberry and
Baskins.
According to Thomas, he and six
other men were taken prisoners after
the six-hour battle at Prairie Creek
and escorted to hut at the head of
gulch on Sugar Loaf Mountain. About
10 feet from the hut, Thomas declares,
a man opened fire with a rife, kill
ing Sylesberry and Baskins. The
statement declares the man also at
tempted to kill Thomas, but that other
members of the party interfered.
The five other captives were set at
liberty, according to Thomas mar
rative, and it is reported that the
bodies were then placed in the cabin
and the torch applied. Enroute to
Huntington, Thomas declared, the
party was fired on, but no one was
wounded.
First Search Unsuccessful.
Conflicting reports of the finding Of
the bodies is explained by, the fact
that in their first survey Of the ruins
of the cabin the posse, headed by Paul
Little, prosecuting attorney, and Lon
Harris, sheriff of Sebastian county,
made no discoveries. Later more
careful examination of the ruins dis
closed fragments Of the bodies.
At the request of Mr.. Little var
rants were issued for the arrest of
number Of men alleged to have partici-
pated in the attack on the Prairie
Creek mines last Friday, when the
tipple and other parts OF the mines
were dynamited and burned. The war
rants charge murder, arson and rioting.

Boston, Mass.-A restitution ,suit,
whereby minority stockholders seek to
compel former and present directors
to restore to the treasury Of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road Company approximately $102,-
100000 alleged to have been Illegally
used in building up the system, was
begun in the Supreme Court here.
The complaint alleges that losses
resulting from the acquisition of the
Boston and Maine trolley and steam
ship properties by the New Haven
amounted to $1O2, 100000, and that
under the federal antitrust act, the
New Haven Company is entitled to
recover from the defendants three
times that sum, or $306, 100000.
Judge Braley, before whom the ac-
ton was brought, issued an order Of
notice, to show cause why receiver,
special master or other official should
not be appointed in accordance with
the bill of complaint.
Billiard Not Defendant.
The plaintiffs, who are trustees OF
the late Olea Bull Vaughan's estate
and own so shares of the capital stock,
asked for a receiver to take possession
of all claims in favor of the defend
ants, but not to interfere with the ad-
ministration of the current affairs Of
the New Haven company. They asked
also that shares of capital stock held
by the defendants be not disturbed
except by order Of the court and that
they later be applied to the payment
of any court decree that might be
issued.

ity at Mexico City to the Constitu-
tionalists.
The Constitutionalist Chief express
ed his views in most cordial terms to
John R. Silliman, personal representa-
tive of President Wilson, and Consul
General Hanna and Vice-Consul Rob-
ertson, who interviewed him at
Monterey. Not only did he voice a
willingness to receive the commission
of three appointed by Provisional
President Carbajal to discuss peace,
but said he would send an escort to
meet them and provide safe conduct
through Constitutionalist territory.
Secretary Bryan announced the re-
ceipt of the message from the Ameri-
can representatives with the comment
that prospects for an agreement be-
tween the two factions now were very
favorable.
Inasmuch as the three men chosen
by Mr.. Carbajal are Constitutionalists,
who have been in hiding in Mexico
City and are thoroughly in accord with
General Carranza's policies as well as
personal friends Of Mr.. Carbajal, the
impression now is general that the
negotiations for a transfer of authority
Of government will be successful.
Will Grant Amnesty.
General eCarranza is insistent, how
ever, that the surrender of, the Car
baial government should be uncondi-
tional. He is willing, it is declared
by his representatives here, to grant
a limited amnesty, not as a condition
of surrender, but as a voluntary act
of generosity on the part of the Con-
stitutionalists after they obtain the
rsins Of government 1t is the inten-
ton Of the Constitutionalists to give
guarantees of safety to the people
generally, but to prosecute ringleaders
in the plot through which Madero was
overthrown. Most of the latter, how
ever, already have left Mexico.

William and Samuel Muncy, of Baby
Ion, Long Island, who recently celebrat-

the distinction Of being the Oldest living
twins. They attribute their good health
to the fact that they have lived an out
door life as far as possible. AS young
sters they would when their work on the
farm was done for the day, go fishing in
the evening instead of making their way
down TO the country store to gossip. The
two men eat whenever they feel hungry,
do not smoke, chew nor drink, and al
though there are seven physicians who
are members of their family, they have
never had occasion TO call on one in case
of sickness.
