IS GIVEN MORE TIME
HAS UNTIL SEPT. II TO DECIDE
ON POLICY.
u. S. Marines to Occupy Principal
Cities in Meantime to Prevent
Outbreaks.

Washington, D. C.-State depart
ment officials announced that there
was every indication that the finan-
cial protectorate convention with
Haiti would be ratified by the Haitian
congress within a few days. The
statement was made upon advices re-
ceived from American Charge DAT
fairs Davis at Port au Prince.
Haiti has been given until Sept. II
to act upon the proposed treaty. In
the meantime the American marines
will continue to occupy the principal
cities of the island to prevent a re-
currence of anarchy.
Before the proposed convention can
become effective it must be ratified
by the United States senate. The
executive departments have arranged
however, to resort to a modus vivendi
or temporary working arrangement as
soon as the Haitian congress accepts
the draft now before it.
Some of the Haitian customs hous-
es already have been taken over by
Rear Admiral C%apterton, commanding
the naval forces, and supervision of
the others will be assumed when the
time comes. Then Americn officers
will set apart portions of the revenue
received for the expenses of the is
land government, reserve sufficient to
meet interest on the foreign debt and
e that any remainder is expended
on public works or retained in the
treasury.
If this arrangement works satisfac-
torily, officials believe there will be
no difficulty in securing prompt rati-
fication of the formal treaty when
congress meets in December.
The customs house at Fort de
Paix, Haiti, has been occupied by
American marines from the gunboat
Nashville.

NO MORE DEATH PENALTIES
Gov. Dunno Urges Conference to Take
Up Abolition of Capital
Punishment.

Boston, Mass.-Gov. Edward F.
Dunno of Illinois, addressing the gov
errors conference here, made a plea
for the abolition of capital punishment
and invited the cooperation of his
brother executives to accomplish this
end.
THE n argument for infliction of
the death penalty-that 1t acts as a
deterrent-has been proven a fallacy.
Illinois was disgraced with 651 homi-
cides in 1910 after a century of en-
forcement of capital punishment. Our
n%eighboring state, Wisconsin, where it
had been abolished, showed less than
so per cent of this figure for the same
year. Federal statistics show that
states without capital punishment
have fewest homicides.
IF it is wrong for one man to kill
a man, if it is wrong for three men to
kill a man, is it any less wrong for 20
men to kill a man?
"As the executive Of a great com
monwealth, | ask you, my brother
executives, to give this matter your
careful consideration"

HOPE TO BREAK
BRITISH BLOCKADE
WASHINGTON FEELS THAT ENG.
LAND MAY NOW FoREGo
ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
SUBMARINE WAR THE CAUSE
Insurance Rates Soaring and Shippers
Demand That America Take
Steps In Reprisal for Con-
tinuous Hold-Up.

Washington.-Officials in Washing
ton are leaning to the view that Great
Britain may accept the suggestion OF
mediation with Germany on the free
dom of the seas when it is made by
the United States.
The suggestion was made to Ger
many in the last note of this govern
ment on the Lusitania case. The rea-
sons given for the view that Great
Britain may accept are:
Ffrst-The sentiment among virtu-
ally all the southern congressman and
senators and many from the northern
states, that congress should take
some step in reprisal for Great Brit
aims treatment of American cargoes,
unless relief is offered at an early
date.
Dispatches from Berlin confirm In
formation previously CLEANED from
German sources here that the paci-
fists of the German foreign office
have supplanted in power the bellig-
erent element headed by Admiral Won
Tirpitz.
The definite statement now comes
from Berlin that Imperial Chancellor
Won Bethmann-H ollweg and Foreign
Secretary o Jagow have gained the
favor of the kaiser in their efforts to
adjust amicably the submarine con
troversy with the United States.
These two officials have adopted a
course, which, If they are permitted
to carry it out, will result, it is de-
clared, in a friendly settlement of all
matters at issue, including both the
Arabic and Lusitania attacks with
consequent loss of American lives.
AS is known here, the Berlin ad-
vices further reveal that Admiral Won
Tirpitz and his associates in the ma
rine department will ~stubbornly op-
pose the other cabinet ministers who
apparently are willing to disavow the
illegal acts of submarine comman-
ders. Won Tirpitz is the father of the
Objectionable German submarine pol
icy and is said to be fighting hard
against proposed changes.
The chancellor and foreign secre-
tary are committed to restricting fu-
ture submarine activities to attacks
upon armed ~belligerent vessels. They
will insist that previous instructions
to submarine captains not to sink I'M
armed merchant vessels without am
pie warning be strictly adhered to.
Just how far those German officials
friendly to the United States will be
able to go in the negotiations with
this country is the question which
still leaves uncertain the success of
the settlement conferences between
Secretary Of State Lansing and Am
bassador Won Bernstorff.

Kansas City, Missouri. - John ].
Hefferman is on the "water wagon"

RUSSIA IS RAISING
ARMY OF 100000
CAMPAIGN WILL NOT BE DE-
cIDED UNTIL NEXT
YEAR.
FORTIFNNG ANOTHER FRONT
French Capture Several Trenches in
vosses, and Air Squadron Is Ac-
tive-No News From Darda-
nelIes Campaign.

London.-Gen. Polvanoff, Russian
minister of war, announces Russia is
raising another 1000, 900 men; that
the fate Of the campaign will not
be decided until next year.
The Germans, in full possession of
the entire Brest-Litovsk line, have re
sumed the offensive in the Baltic pro
yinces and are pressing the Russians.
This may, in time, prove the most
important Of the German operations,
although at present they are using
more troops in the pursuit of the Rus
SLAMS who are retiring from Brest-
Litovsk and the line on either side of
the fortress.
The Russians had evacuated both
Brest-Litovsk and Olita before the
Germans arrived, as the latter make
no claim to the capture Of guns and
booty.
The intimation that the Russians
have fortified another front pending
an opportunity for a renewed Of
fensive has received some confirma-
ton. 1t is stated the new line is be-
ing strengthened by all the latest
methods known to military engineers.
The Russian armies still are intact,
with virtually all their guns, and pros
poets of a more plentiful supply of
ammunition. For this military
writer's here are Of the opinion that
Grand Duke Nicholas now should be
able to make a stand.
The capture of several German
trenches in the Vosges was reported
by Paris, but what is considered sig
nificant is the continued activity of
the air squadron, which has been
bombarding German positions in
France as well as munitions factories
across the German border.
There has been no further news
from the Dardanelles or the Balkans,
but 1t now is certain that Serbia is
prepared to make the necessary sacri-
fices to satisfy Bulgaria and gain her
cooperation in behalf of the allies. 1t
may be several days, however, before
the Serbian reply to the represent
tons Of the entente powers is re-
ceived. The vote of the Serbian par
Lament was only Upon the principle
involved and negotiations now are
proceeding between Serbia, Greece
and Roumania regarding the exact
nature of the concessions to be made
Bulgaria.

BLAME THE BOOKSELLERS
SAYS THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR COLORADO STRIKES.
Industrial Commission Declares In
competent Agents Precipitated
Labor Trouble.

Chicago, Il,-The responsibility
for the strike of coal miners in
Colorado in 1913 and 1914, and for
the disorder and suffering that fol-
lowed, is placed on the shoulders Of
operators in the report by George P.
West, made public by the commission
on industrial relations. The conclu-
sions are those of West, the COM
missions publicity representative.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany, controlled by John D. Rockefel-
Ter, is declared to have been the lead
er in formulating and carrying out
strike policies. Rockefeller and his
son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., are
charged, first, with the selection of
incompetent and reactionary agents
to serve as executive officials in this
company, and, second, with giving
their heartiest Endorsement and sup
port to these officials after they had
taken action that precipitated the
worst of the troubles.
