"anti" and for-this reason they have
not made greater strides. If they were
waging a "pro" fight their efforts
might be more effective. They must
also take in mind that war does 'ac-
complish results, despite the crudity
of the means used. Men kill each
other, but the victor usually gets that
thing for which he has been contend
ing.
Mr.. Holt then took up the means by
which many of the leading men of the
world are trying to eradicate war. He
showed that there are 55 nations in
the world; 46 of these are members of
the Hague Tribunal and send repre-
sentatives every time it meets. This
Tribunal was called at the instigation
of the Car of Russia, Nicholas the
Second, and first met at The Hague,
the capital of Holland. A beautiful
palace was built by Mr.. Carnegie and
given to the 46 nations as a meeting
place for their representatives. Here
at stated times they meet and discuss
means and adopt measures for the les
sening of the evils of war. At one time
the proposition was advanced for the
total disarmament on the part of all
nations. This would have been car
ried and the present dreadful struggle
in Europe would have been averted
had Germany, Austria and five Of the
Balkan states not voted against it.
At present the advocates of peace
are discussing the best way to accom-
plish the plan of securing total disar-
manent on the part of all nations.

MAY LICENSE LAND AGENTS
Approves Plan Whereby Prospec-
tive Settlers Would Be Protected.

Milwaukee.-At a meeting of the
Wisconsin Advancement association,
a resolution providing for state sys-
tenn of licensing real estate agents as
a means of preventing the sale of
worthless land to prospective farmers,
was approved. Supporters of the reso-
luton claim that the sale of poor land
in the northern part of the state has
started the rumor that all of the land
in the moi tn is worthless and that it
has discouraged many persons from
settling in that section. AS there is
a vast amount of agricultural land in
upper Wisconsin, the passing of a
law to protect would-be settlers from
exploitation would hasten the develop
ment of that part of the state, it is
claimed.

EXPECT DECISIONS
IN FRANCHISE SUIT
FEDERAL COURT JUDGES MAY
RULE ON PERMANENCY OF
INJUNCTION.
TWO COMPANIES INVOLVED
Western Union Telegraph and PhiIa-
deIphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Corporations Ask Re-
strainng Order.

Madison.-A decision is expected
to be announced soon in the suits
brought by the Western Union Tele-
graph company and the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron company
to restrain the secretary of state
from revoking their franchises to do
business in Wisconsin on the ground
that they violated a statute purport
ing to prohibit them from transfer
ing from state to federal courts suits
brought against them by residents of
Wisconsin. The companies applied
to the federal court for injunctions
to restrain the secretary of state
from revoking their franchises and
arguments on the applications were
heard by Judges C. C. Kohlsaat of
Chicago, F. A. Geiger of Milwaukee
and A. L. Sanborn of Madison in Chi
cago last November
The original action grew out of
the action brought by Walter L.
Houser against the telegraph COM
pany in the Dane county circuit court
for damages, alleging failure on the
transmit and deliver telegram sent
from Philadelphia to Mr.. Blum at
Mondovi, Wis. The telegraph COM
pany applied for an order from the
court permitting it to take the mat
ter into a federal court, which was
granted.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company is plaintiff in the
present action through the suit
brought by Ole Huen against the COM
pany claiming damages for injuries
alleged to have been sustained while
in the employ of the company. The
action was started in the superior
court of Douglas county and upon re-
quest of the company the case was
removed to a federal court.
The right, of the secretary of state
to revoke the licenses of these COM
panies is based upon section 1770f
of the statutes of Wisconsin in the
following language:
Whenever any foreign corpora
ton doing business in this state shall
remove or make application to re-
move into any district court or the
United States any action or proceed
ing commenced against it by any cit
izen of this state upon any claim or
cause of action arising within this
state, it shall be the duty of the sec
rotary of state, upon such fact be-
ing made to appear to him, to re-
woke the license of such corporation
to do business within this state"
1t is expected that the decision OF
the judges will involve the validity
OF the law and determine the right
of the state to say whether actions
started in state court may be re-
moved to a federal court on the pc
tition of an interstate corporation,
having headquarters outside Of Wis
eonsin.

DEMANDS HE PAY $4,000
Brother of Governor Cruce Defends
Blind Lawmaker and Charges
That Case Is Political
"Frame-Up."

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 10
Seven farmers, two statesmen, bank
er, broker and grocery man were
accepted as jury to determine the
$4,000 damage suit brought by Mrs.
Minnie E. Bond against United States
Senator T. F. Gore. She charges that
the Oklahoma senator criminally at
tackled her while she was a guest at a
Washington hotel.
Judge George w. Clarke held that
the past life of neither the plaintiff
nor the defendant was vital to the
case, although testimony may be pre-
scented to establish the general repu-
tation of either 1t is stated that I'M
der this ruling mass of dispositions
will be excluded.
Ross l.. Lillard made the opening
statement for the plaintiff. He de-
clared witnesses would testify that
Senator Gore attacked Mrs. Bond in a
room in which they met at the eena-
tors suggestion to discuss the appoint
ment of Mrs. Bonds husband, Julian
Bond, to a federal position, and that

Bonds glasses were broken. On the
following day, the attorney asserted,
friends of Senator Gore endeavored to
have the matter hushed up and urged
Mrs. Bond to leave Washington.
In the opening statement for the de-
tense, A. c. Cruce, brother of Govern
or Cruce of Oklahoma, characterized
the charges as I'll fred conspir-
acy" He said he would prove that a
certain clique of men had threatened
to "get" Gore because of their failure
to get certain federal appointments.
He said he would prove that Mrs.
Bond solicited the appointment with
Gore on March "a, and that Gore had
told her repeatedly that he had pledged
his support to another for the office
sought by her husband. He said Gore
was led to the hotel room, talked with
Mrs. Bond, and as he reached for his
cane on the bed Mrs. Bond grabbed
his hand and pulled him upon her.
When he was in this position the
three men were in position to see the
occurrence.
