conference should approve the British
view there. would be nothing left for
the Chinese but to quit the conference
and go home. Mr.. Hughes found 1t
necessary to make public denial of the
stories about BRAND and the Italian
army and about Balfour and BRAND
and the leader Of the Chinese delega-
ton found it worth while to make
public statement to the effect that the
Chinese had never so much as thought
of quitting the conference until it had
finally adjourned; that they were there
expecting to get, not all they wanted
but as much as they could. Taking the
whole situation into consideration it
would seem that however it might af-
feet the fortunes Of the individual
members of the conference, the nations
they represent as we'll as the world at
large would fare better if The pro-
ceedings were open TO the press of the

OF course it would have been quite
remarkable if n bunch Of diplomats
otherwise intriguers, had been willing
to hold open sessions Of the disarma-
ment conference. 1t would be just as
reasonable to expect bunch of village
scandal mongers, the kind who are al
ways interfering with the business oil
their ncighbors, and spreading mall
cious lies against the people they
would injure, TO stand on the street
corner and talk their stuff openly. OF
course the motives Of the two classes
are not the same. The WOuld-be diplo-
mat is afraid of hfmsclf-afraid Of his
ability to Sensibly and sanely present
and defend the cause Of the people ne
rcprcScntS-afraid some broader ana
ADLER mind in the opposition party
might gain before the people in calling
him down. The scandal monger and
traduCcr is afraid of running w
against fist, Il stick, Il bullet or dam
age suit But just as it would be better
for the scandal mOnger to confinc his
uttcranccS to facts that he would be
willing for anybody to hear and make
his would-bc hurtful remarks direct to
the object Of his spleen, so it would be
best for the world at large, and the
respective countries Of these diplomats
in particular. if all of them would do
their work in the free, honest open.
Most of the business of the conference
is being done behind closed doors and
denied full knowledge Of the facts.
Outsiders are talking and thinking rs
they please. \ few days ago there
were riots in Italy because Of alleged
contCmptuOus remarks of Mr.. BRAND
about the Italian army, and the French
and British press went into a sensa.
tiOnal frenzy because of a sharp speech
that Mr.. BalfOur was said to have
made in reply to the address Of Mr..

reported TO be- so much exercised over
the attitude of Great Britain as TO Civ
ing up Chinese concessions that they
were constrained to declare that if the

COURT ADJOURNS.

Sounding of the roster of the court
of common pleas this morning devel-
opcd the information that there were
no cases ready for. trial and court ad-
iournei until next Monday morning
when it was stated all cases to be tried
at this term would be entered into.
Several of the lawyers addressing
the court relative to the continuance
placed responsibility for the unread
moss on the fact that one of the law
wears had been i'll for several months
while another member of the bar had
died recently.
1t was emphatically stated that the
civil business of the court would be
wound up next week.

The project Of an aerial line con-
Meeting the continent of Europe with
South America by gigantic Zeppelin
passenger ships is being worked out
according to a Berlin cable. DIR. Hugo
Ecker, one of the chief directors OF
the Zeppelin works, Germany's most
famous pilot and for many years q CO.
worker of Count Zeppelin, has just re-
turned from q visit to Argentina and
Spain. Dr.. Ecker has spent several
months in those countries studying
routes and landings. AID assisting in
the organization of the company. lie
saws that he found Southern Spain
ideally located for a European air har-
bor, and as port for a trans-Atlan-
tic Zeppelin line. The other end OF
the line will be near Bucnos Aires,
where it is declared that weather and
wind conditions are very favorable.
He estimates that Zeppelin with
100000 cubic meters gas capacity has
a speed of l15 kilOmeters an hour,
with forty passengers. car make the
trip from Spain to Bucnos Aires IN
ninety hours. One hundred hours Will
be required for the trip to Europe on
account of less favorable conditions.

The dope around the court house is
that Judge Rice is rather too set in his
own opinions as to law and pro-
cedure, and does not yield to the de-
sires of some Of the lawyers with suf-
ficicnt complacency. Whether or not
there is anything in this notion, it is a
fact of frequent happenings that some
of the lawyers simply wont try their
cases before some of the Judges If
there is any possible way to get
around it. And there is very COM
mon belief that the alleged reasons
given for postponement alo not always
the real reasons.

would it have any effect upon the gen

explained that the regency had been

the emperor, and that it had actually
been carried out with the full assent
of the emperor upon the advice of the
privy council and the cabinet. Mod

sionally been resortcd to.

DIR. Adolph Lorenz, the famous
Austrian orthopaedic surgeon, who is in
New York for the purpose Of trying
ito pay back in some measure Ameri-
cas- bounty to Austrian children" says
he has almost decided to devote the
remainder of his days to attention of
the sufferings of American cripples.
When he visited the New York hospi-
tai for joint diseases last Friday he
was besieged on the steps and in the
halls by hundreds OF sufferers who
sought help. He worked like mad for
more than five hours during which he
saw l25 cases and advised operations
that would keep one surgeon busy for
six months. He was unable to give
more than flying examinations in many
cases; but promised to look into all of
them more thoroughly on the days

a land so sorely in need of relief
from spinal and other troubles SUPER
