SENATE COMMITTEE
ORDERS FAVORABLE
REPORT ON TREATIES

first rate powers with which they are
made, including most of the great powers
Many on List
On the list are Great Britain, Japan,
Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal,
Switzerland and France. Similar treaties
which will expire within a year or two
exist with the Netherlands, Denmark,
China, Austria-Hungary, Peru, Salvador,
Costa Rica. Paraguay, Haiti, Ecuador,
Brazil and Uruguay. Another treaty of
the same kind with Mexico expired last
June and was not renewed.
The Senate committee today consid-
cred those of the treaties soon to ex-
pire, and agreed inasmuch as they are
identical with the eight recommended for
extension, that they should be approved
for extension as rapidly as they expire.
Aside from the Importance of these
treaties in the cause of arbitration, some
have a larger significance in affecting
political and international relations be-
tween the United States and other coun-
tries. 1t is understood to have the pur-
pose of President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan in urging prompt ratification to es-
tablish a Pacific bulwarlS to further les
sen the possibility of complications on
any of the existing foreign problems.
Virtually Identical
All the treaties acted on today are
virtually identical and provide for a linz
tied arbitration of questions which cam
not be adjusted by diplomacy. This group
of limited arbitration treaties are entirely
distinct from the other arbitration pro-
posed by Secretary Bryan. The limited
treaties are the first realization of ar
bitration plans begun at The Hague con-
ferences. They are recognized as only
the first step toward averting war, as
they are limited in scope to questions
not involving national honor or sover-
eighty. The Taft administration went a
step further by framing arbitration
treaties enlarging this scope and including
virtually all questions and disputes be-
tween nations. but these conventions re-
manned unratified.
Mr.. Bryan has gone a step still further
in the march of arbitration, in the pro-
posal of April "a last, that all questions
of whatever character and nature shall,
when diplomatic efforts fail. be submit
ted to an international commission, the
contracting nations agreeing mot to de-
clare war or begin hostilities until such
investigation Is made and report SUBJ
mitted."
Mr. Bryan's advanced plan has been ac-
cepted in principle by 20 nations. and
seven treaties actually have been signed
The Senate has not yet acted on them.
and the action taken today related entire-
y to the original group providing broad
ly for limited arbitration.

What Lacy Has Cost the State

The state of Alabama has dug deep
into its Golfers for funds to apprehend
Lacy, and has gone even deeper for
money with which to pay the cost of the
convict department investigation, which
was held shortly after Lacy made his dis
appearance. Nearly $4,000 has been spent
by the state in the employment of detec-
tives, attorneys and for other expenses
attendant upon the sensational revelations
of the convict department. An itemized
list of expenditures resulting from the
defalcation shows the following figures:

Will Attempt to Stampede

Woman suffrage and all subjects that
are likely to incite strife are taboo
for the twenty-third annual CONT
J mental Congress Of tho D. A. r. which
is to meet here AprR 20 to q, II the
counsel of the Connecticut d. A. r.
prevails.
At recent meeting OF the Connecti-

imously adopted declaring the members
OF that State believe II unwise for
the D. A. X. to take up any "contro-
versial subjects upon which tho men,
bers might be divided, such as ques-
tions OF politics, religion, woman suf-
frage and total abstinence"
Despite this counsel, however, there
are those In the ranks Of the order,
who have been quietly studying the
situation with a view to stampeding
the convention in favor of woman
suffrage should the opportunity pre-
sent itself. How far the action Of the

multiplying their purpose 1t is impossible
