Lansing. Calls
Big Convention

Washington, Dec. 30.-Secretary
Lansing has suggested to all nations
which, with the United States, com
prise the Pan-American union, that
they join in a convention for the ar.
bitration of all boundary line disputes
and for the prohibition of shipments
of war munitions to revolutionaries.
Lansing's proposal, which has the
full support of President Wilson, is
being forwarded by Latin.American
ambassadors and ministers here to
their home and foreign offices for con.
sideration.
It is regarded as one OF the steps in
wide plan in which the Pan.Amer-
lean Scientific Congress, now in ses-
sion here, is part, for preservation
of peace in the western hemisphere
and a closer union of all the Americas.
The Status of the negotiations and
details of Lansing's proposal SO far
are being held as confidential between
the state department and the Latin
American chancellories here. Lansing
LANSING CALLS BIG CONVENTION
declined to discuss it and the diplo-
mats uniformly declared they could
not discuss the matter which is in its
preliminary stage and under consider
alton by their home and foreign Of
ficers.
It became known, however, that soon
after Lansing delivered his Pan.Amer-
lean unity speech before the Scientific
Congress in which he advocated Pan.
American zone for all and all for one"
he began inviting the Latin-American
representatives to the state depart.

his proposal. At the same time, it Is
understood, the various details were
discussed and approved.

Fire Discovered Before
AnyDamage Was Done

A few nights ago fire was discover.
ed on the front porch of Miss Lura
Perrine's home, by a lady rooming
there, and at the same time some
young men in passing saw the blaze.
Hurrying to the scene, it was discov.
cred that roll Of mating or rugs had
been set on fire and then placed on the
wooden porch where short time only
was needed to create serious fire.
Suspicion pointed to Reuben Thoreen,
who had been seen in the vicinity, and
he was hunted out, and kept in secur.
ity for a day, when he finally owned
up. At first he said he didn't know
why he did 1t and later confessed that
he was sore at the faculty of the Nor.
NAL, with whom he had had some
trouble, but with which Miss Perrine
had no connection. He is being kept
under surveillance and doubtless some
action will be taken in the matter
soon. He has acted suspiciously for
some time and there are some doubts
as to his sanity. Had the fire not been
discovered just as it was there might
have been terrible catastrophe as
Miss Perrine's mother, who is quite
an elderly lady, is seriously ill with
a cold and threatened with pneumonia
and removal to t place of safety
might have gone hard with her, had it

LABOR CONDEMNS SALOON.

''The time has come in this country
when even men who take an OCCASION
al drink and feel it their right and
privilege to do so. II they please,
are coming to agree that it Is not
right for a man to make it his busi-
ness to cultivate the vices of COM
munity, and to take from men money
that belongs to their families, giving
them in exchange liquid madness, bru-
tality, insanity and damnation."
These words were spoken by Rev.
William B. Millard in an address at
a remarkable labor meeting held in
Garrick theater, Chicago. 1.-The labor
union, like the church." continued Mr..
Millard, should regard the open sa-
loon as its greatest enemy. The time
has come, nay is so near, that the rosy
radiance of the glorious dawn already
greets our eyes, when the saloon will
be abolished and the barkeeper out
lawed, so that a man may no longer
be waylaid on payday and sent home
to his broken-hearted wife and terri
fed little ones raging, loathsome,

sentiments. The theater was packed

Still another instance was the 3;S19 ar.
