CITY LOSES HEAVILY.
Damage by Recent Rains Is EST
mated at $4,000.

The unusually heavy rains of the
last two months have caused damage
to city property of approximately
$500. In the opinion of w. G. Tandy.
city commissioner of streets, his de-
partment has been put to additional
expenses amounting to $4,000. w. l..
Porter, city commissioner of parks,
estimates the damage done to city
parks at $1,000.
mo comfort station will be built at
Gage park this year." said Porter
1.-The money appropriated for Gage
park in the present budget with the
intention of building a comfort sta
ton, will have to be used to repair the
damage done by the water there" But
Porter made this declaration before
he had been informed that $9,323.63
existed in the city'S emergency fund
Now if these rains can be construed
as having created emergency.
the city can make repairs out of this
fund and the appropriation for the
comfort station can be used as orig
inaliy intended.
Guess 1 will have to draw on the
emergency fund" remarked .sTandy,
but Tandy was under the impression
that there was very little money in
the fund.
The Santa Fe railway company put
a crimp in the emergency fund last
year when it secured an injunction
against making a levy for this fund.
The case was carried to the supreme
court and the railway company won.
The money now in the fund is what
remains from levies made prior to
last year.
The principal damage from water
in Tandy's department is in repairing
and cleaning sewers. There was also
considerable damage done to both APP
proaches to the Fillmore street bridge
over Shunganunga creek. The great
est damage to the parks was the
washing away of about one-third OF
the canal in Willow park, and he de-
struction of cinder walks in Gage,
Central and other parks.

Venice. Cal, June 17.-Sparsely

year to rove the strand as of yore. The

To enforce the towns strict regula-

of women, has been formed When
the bathing hour rolls around these
ladies meet in a room near the strand.
Should a boy or girl appear on the
beach in draperies which the life
guard police deem too peek-a-boo. the
offender would instantly be clothed in
bathrode and hailed before the
cenSOrS.
Then the robe is snatched away, the
bather stands revealed in all his. or

board trains a battery of lorenettes on

and the incident closed But woe be-
tide the culprit if the offense is re-
peated.

leaked out, however, that the torpe-
doing of Scandinavian fishing vessels
and merchant ships by German sub
marines was one of the topics.
There was ground for belief also
that the northern European neutrals
may be contemplating independent ac-
ton against Germany in the form of
joint or severe protest against de-
struction of their shipping. Failure
of the countries to make representa-
ton to Germany before. it is believed,
has been due to the fact that many
such vessels were caught carrying
contrabands and that a protest would
not lie under the international code.

Taft Outlines Plan for Pro-
posed League of Peace.
Would Take Nations Troubles
to International Tribunal.
AND LET MAJORITY RULE
Former President Says War
Issues Are Human Problems.
They Can Only Be Handled
With Human SanenesS.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 17.-Former
President Taft in an address here last
night outlined the plan for the pro-
posed League of Peace which is being
discussed in Independence hall today.
Mr.. Taft was firmly of the opinion that
q league of peace could be formed
which would enable nations to avoid
war by furnishing practical means
for settling international quarrels or
suspending them until 1.-The binding
heat of passion had cooled"
The national provisional committee,
which called the conference, includes
well known publicists, educators,
peace advocates, editors and econ
omists.
The committee gave a dinner last
night at which Mr.. Taft was assigned
the part of delivering the keynote
speech.
Others who spoke were President
Lowell of Harvard university; Oscar
s. Strauss a member of The Hague
court: Hamilton Holt of New York.
and former Judge George Gray of
Delaware, also a member of The
Hague court.
I'm calling this meeting Mr.. Taft
said, my associates and / have not
been unaware that we might be lik-
ened to the tailors of Tooley street.
who mistook themselves for the peo-
pie of England. We first wish to say
ourselves.
The Ultimate Aim.
I'VE are not here to suggest a
means of bringing this war to an end.
We hope and pray for peace. We
think a league of peace could be
formed which would enable nations to
avoid war by furnishing a practical
means of settling international quar-
rels, or suspending them until the
binding heat of passion had cooled
"In no war has the direct interest
that neutralS have in preventing a
war between neighbors been SO clearly
made known. This interest of neu-
trails has been so forced upon them
that it would require only a slight de-
Velopment and growth in the law of
international relations to develop that
interest into a right to be consulted
before such a war among neighbOrs
can be begun. This step we hope to
have taken by the formation of a
peace league of the great powers,
whose primary and fundamental prin-
ciple shall be that no war can take
place between any two members of the
league until they have resorted to the
machinery that the league proposes to

ly to lead to war

furnish to settle the controversy like
~ to lead to war.
Majority to Rule.
IF any member refuses to use this
machinery and attacks another meHi-
Der of the league in breach of his
league obligation, all members of the
league agree to defend the members
attacked by force.
We do not think the ultimate re-
sort to force can be safely omitted
from an effective league of peace. We
sincerely hope that ii may never be-
come necessary and that the deterrent
effect of it's inevitable use in case of
breach of the league obligation will
help materially to give sanction to the
laws of the league and to render re-
sort to force avoidable.
We are not peace at any price
men, because we do not think we have
reached the time when a plan based
on the complete abolition of war is
practicable. AS long as nations par
take of the fralties of men who COM
pose them, war is possibility and
that possibility should not be ignored
in any league of peace that is to be
useful. We believe it is still neces-
sary to use a threat of overwhelming
force of a great league with a willing
ness to make the threat good in order
to frighten nations into use of ra-
tional and peaceful means to settle
their issues with their associates of
jingoes. We are trying to follow a
middle path.
Issues Between Nations.
THE resort to which we wish to
force an intending belligerent of the
league, consists of two tribunals, to
one of which every issue must be sub
mitted. Issues between nations are
of two classes: First, issues that can
be decided upon principles of law
called justiciable; second, issues that
cannot be decided on such principles
of law and equity, but which might
be quite as irritating and provoca-
BILE of war called non-justiciab BILE. The
question of the Alaskan boundary, of
the Boring sea seal fishing and of
the Alabama claims were jGsticiable
issues that could be settled by court,
exactly as the supreme court would
settle claims between states. The
questions whether the Japanese should
be naturalized, whether all Ameri-
can citizens should be admitted to
Russia as merchants without regard
to religious faith, are capable of caus-
ing great irritation against the nation
denying the privilege, and yet such
nations, in the absence of a treaty on
the subject, are completely within
their international right and the real
essence of the trouble cannot be aided
by a resort to a court. The trouble
is non-justiciable.
I'VE propose that for justicia BILE
questions we shall have an impartial
court to which all questions arising
between members of the league shall
be submitted
