Waite Called "Moral Imbecile."

Alienists sworn by the defense in be-
half of DR.. Waite testified yesterday
that the young dentist was a moral
imbecile" and IAN immoral monster"
who had only an insane knowledge of
right and wrong The defense rested
it's case upon the testimony of mental
experts.
DIR. Morris j. Karpas and DR.. Allan
Ross Diefendorf testified that Waite
was a moral imbecile. and declared
they had arrived at their conclusion
without consultation together. Both
admitted Waite knew what he was do
ing when he was plotting the death Of
Mr.. Peck, but they declared he had no
not want the prisoner set free. and DR.
Diefendorf said. he should be kept in an
insane asylum IS long as he lived.
Dr. Karpas declared that while moral
imbeciles had no moral sense, they ap-
pear like rational men. He said he be-
lieved criminals should confess their
crimes. because they owed it to society
to do so.
DO you think the fact that waite's
great-aunt was insane away back in
1870 had anything to do with the kill
ing Of Peck?" he was asked.

In Pursuance of Its Ideals
U. S. Must Lead for Peace.
Secretary Baker Declares

That the United States. in pursuance.
OF its ideals. cannot hold aloof from
league of nations with purpose to ef-
feet lasting peace, but should be a
leader in the great world movement.
was the opinion expressed by Secretary
of War Baker in most emphatically in
dorsing the program of the league.
When this war is over in Eurone tho
people, speak not of the countries
and those In places of privilege and
power-are going to demand the pres
ervation of craftsmanship" he said
There is not going to be tolerated anv
longer the possibility of recurrence
of this night.
The economic forces the industrial
forces labor. agriculture, religion.
learning, science and art already in an
intimate and intricate system of inter
change between nations. will rise as
the voice OF the people in favor of
some such expression of the popular
conscience of the continent Of Eurona
as is desired by the League to Enforce
Peace. Now, suppose they get up such
league. Suppose Europe determines
to have that sort of regulation of in
ternational relations and we are not
In it
Relations With Rest of World.
What then will be the relation we
bear to the rest of the world? Their
intimacy without our being in partner
ship with II some day may become con.
fusing TO us. And ~ we, now in the
dominant moral position In the world
decline to JOIN hands with the circle
that is quite certainly destined to he
formed by the nations OF the world for
the preservation of peace. they will
form that circle and will be on the
outside.
Nr. Baker. whose subject was Amer
lean IDEALS. pointed out that Americ.n
ideals have not been some fixed and
unchangin9 thing. but an expandinp
growing thing. a cloak that will cover
the frame Of our activities and ,ha,
will grow as they grow" and said
that we have no statement OF Ameri
can Ideals that can be regarded a.
final thing. and our history from The
Declaration of Independence down 10
the present will show that America ba.
stood FOR opportunity of man in the
world s against things that w. bav.

toward human freedom and human
liberty, that we have desired to estab-

The secretary and other members of the United States section of the commits sion reached Hampton Roads on the cruiser Tennessee early today and immediately came to the capital.
 Mr. McAdoo as head of the section, reviewed the work of the Buenos Aires meeting SJ length and an nounced that in all tn countries he visited on the way back from Argen- tine he found most friendly feeling toward the United States.

Great Chain Of Farm Associa- tions And 12 Land Banks, Headed By Treasurer To Be Formed
FARMERS AT LAST
 GET FEDERAL AID
As House Proposes Similar Measure, Success Of Bill Is Assured. Republicans Op- pose It
fRx Review Leased Wire.l

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Hollis farm loan bill embodying the admin istration plan for establishing a sys- tenn of rural credits passed the Senate tonight by vote of 5S 10 5.
 Senators Brandege, Lodge, Oliver. Page and Wadsworth, all Republicans, voted against the measure.
 The bill, after almost two weeks of debate, passed the Senate practically as reported by the banking committee. An amendment by Senator Shoot re- ducing the salaries of the farm loan board to $7.O00 was upheld by a vote of 26 to 2 in the committee of the whole.
 A somewhat similar bill has been prepared by the House banking con- mittee and it was said will be brought up for considerato soon. The mea- sure it would create provides a chain of farm loan banks, but il differs in means of operations.
 The Senate bill provides for a non partisan farm loan board to consist of the secretary of the treasury and four others, having control of a farm loan system of F or more land banks. and of farm ioan associations through which loans actually would be made.
 The pricipal fight of the bill was directed at the sections exempting the banks and their mortgages from taxa tion and permitting employees to be chosen without regard to the civil. service
Bisbee daily review., 1916-05-05

WASHINGTON. May 4.-COnferees on the army reorganization bill late today disagreed on important features of the measure and adjourned until tomorrow. The rocks on which the committee broke were the federal vol unteer army and the S15.0O0. GOO gov ernment nitrate plant adopted by the Senate.
 Notwithstanding the disagreement. Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate conferees. said tonight he had hopes that good bill eventually would be worked out.
 Up to the time of the break. which had been forecast. the cOnfereeS had been making good progress in regular army reorganization and reserve fea- lures. Both had tentatively agreed on a standing army in time of peace of 1SO.O0O men. 10000 more than the House bill carried and an elastic or ganization scheme contained in the Senate bill which will provide for eX- pansiOn in time of war to 220.00O men. They also had agreed to the House reorganization plan of the na- tional guard providing for the federal ization .of this force.
 Early in the day Representative Hay. chairman of the Rouse confer ees. discussed the army reserve sec tion of the Senate bill with President Wilson. The President was under stood to favor it, although no state ment was given out. Hay iS said 10 have told the President that the House would nOt accept the volunteer force Champions Of the national guard feared that the proposed new force would operate to the disadvant- age of the guard and this was the strong opI 9sition to the plan, in the Senate.
 Representative Hay in his talk with the President insisted that it should be left in the bill.
 Republicans are standing sOlidly against the nitrate provision, insist ing that it is being urged by a water power" lobby
 Many Democrats also oppose it.
