A. B. c. POWERS
IN PEACE PACT
Argentina, Brazil and Chilli Sign
Treaty to Avoid War for
Five Years.
fFtnm II. Tribun. Buren,. ]

Washington. May 2i.-Secretsry OF
State BRYAN sald to-day that the new
trinartite peace agreement into which
the republics Of Brazil. Argentina and
Chilli have just entered is in no sense
evidence Of a tendency 20 coalition at
the expense Of American interests by
the three nations. Under the terms OF
the treaty the three republics agree
that for FIVE wears no one OF the three
will declare war on either Of the
others. no matter what the issue. until
an investigation OF the issues involved
has been made. Each country is sig-
natory with the United States 70 a SIM
liar treaty.
When Secretary BRYAN was asked
whether the United States regarded
the signing of such a treaty as evil
dence of unfriendliness 70 this coun-
try he replied:
ION the contrary. il is ar evidence
OF friendiness rather than unfriendll-
ness, because they are doing exactly
what we have done not only with these
nations but with twenty-seven others.
and | NAV add that there is not the
slightest reason for any one TO suggest
or imagine that the signing OF such a
treaty By Brazil, Argentina and Chili IS
intended az a combination against inc
United States. IL is not a combina-
ton against any nation, and II Is ALB
surd 20 construe II a. an act OF I'M
friendliness toward the United states.
Our relations with these three coun-
tries we're never more cordial than
thew are now: they could not in fact.

Close students Of the international
relations Of the United States with It's
neighbors see in the "A. B. C." ar
rangement new evidence OF the grow

Beers went on to say that he

and that he had seen to It through
the night that none did. He told
of singing songs and otherwise
passing away the tedium of the

But he denied that a shirt-tail
dance had been held by the male
members of the jury, or that
smutty stories and songs had fea-
tured the nights entertainment.
In this he was supported by other

Blow Up
Vessel?

Police officers are attempting
to learn today whether they
frustrated another attempt to
blow up ship in Tacoma harbor
when they discovered last evening
136 sticks of dynamite in cache
on the waterfront near the North
End Lumber Co.'S mill.
The dynamite was 40 per cent
quality, which is considered high
ly explosive. 1t was piled in q
bundle in a rude cave dug against
a hillside.
1t is reported today that for
eigners had been seen about the
place several times during the
last few weeks. 4
The Kaifuku Maru, a Japanese
liner, recently loaded war sup
plies at a dock near where the
dynamite was found, and 1t Is
limited that the dynamite was
part of the explosive for which
search was made at the time re-
ports were given out of a threat
ened attempt to blow up the
steamer.
The M. s. Dollar is due at the
same dock in a few days to load
similar supplies for vladivostok,
where they will be transshipped
to the Russian army.
The dynamite was put on a
launch, taken to deep water, and
thrown overheard.

NO comment Is forthcoming
from the admiralty regarding ru-
mors in circulation as to the Adj
riatic, but It is certain that every
preeaution will be taken to pro-
tect the liner as she nears Brit
ish waters. Officials believe thai
the tipping system of the Ger
mans has been perfected only
within the last two weeks. By
keeping submarine commanders
informed of the departure or
British ships so that thoy may
be waiting for them, IL is believ-
ed that Advlral Won Tirpitz hopes
to terrorize British ship owners
by the effectiveness of his subma-
rine campaign.
The steamers Caucasian and
lnglemoor were sunk off the
Scilly islands. and SO OF the crew
were rescued. The admiralty in
dicated no casualties.
The schooner l.. G. Tower was
sunk off Fastnet and the crew
was landed at Queenstown.

cape was sunk by the same sub
marine.
RIDICULE REPORT
NEW YORK, July 2.--The re-
ports that the liner Adriatic.
which sailed from New York
Wednesday, was marked for at
tack by German submarines was
ridiculed by White Star officials.
1t is denied that the Adriatic
carried contraband, and officials
said there was no reason why
the Germans should especially en-
deavor to sink her. The report
is believed to have originated
from the fact that Premier Bor-
den and other prominent Cana
dams were aboard. Only five
Americans took passage.
