place in the Nobel Institute in the pre-
sence of King Haakon, Crown Prince

London, Dec. 10TH Mr.. Bonar Law
caused a sensation at the second ses-
sion Of the Allied Premiers' Conference
yesterday when. in the course'Of his reply
to Nj. POlncare'S moratorium plan, he gave
clear indication of that the British Govt.
would be quite willing to consider the
question of CANCELLATION Of the French
debt, provided such a step was made
possible by a reparation settlement salts
factory to Great Britain. Mr.. BOnar Law
had previously intimated that the United
States insistenca on the payment of the
British dept had made it very difficult
for England to discuss remissi IN of the
French war debt. The Prime Minister'S
declaration in tAe afternoon greatly en-
couraged NJ. Poincare, who was extreme
ly pessimistic early in the day over the
outcome of the conversations. While the
PremierS are far from an accord, yet, it
was said by the French delegation last
evening that Mr.. Bonar Laws pronounce
ment on the debts had made an agree
ment much more likely. Mr.. Bonar Law
began by saying that the Balfour note 80
longer existed for his Govt. and rnar
he was free to consider the whole
question. II am prepared TO reconsid, r
the question of cancellation of Debts"
he went on, IF such cancellation would
insure a settlement satisfactory 10
the British Government. M. Poincare
expressed deep pleasure at the British
attitude. The Prime Minister briefly
outlined the kind of settlement he
desired, a moratorium sufficient for GEL
many to re established her finaLces and
credit and stabilized the market, 10
military action of any character by the
French and a reduction Of the indemnify
to between 30 and 40 billion gold marks.
This statement is expected to have the
effect OF making II. PUincdre more con
ciilatoty and less inclined to talk about
military measures, although he himself
believes that military measures would
not prove very effective. Another new

was through the Caucasus, the way to
the Caucasus was through the Darda-
nelles. He asserted that the Russian
programme at Lausanne was based on a
community of interests between the Rus
sian and Turkish people and he hoped
that the end of the conference would
find the two countries nearer together.
If the Turks insisted on their right to
fortify the Straits and defend Constan-
tinopIe, Russia would feel secure and
could take up with the ~neighbouring
states on the Black Sea the question of
demilitarizing the water.
Dublin, Dec. 10th. Free State forces
re captured Kanm9r9 on Wednesday last,
it is learned. The lrregulars boiling the
place were defeated after an envel0piag
movement both by land and sea. Ken,

SERVANTS OF PUBLIC.

William A. Johnson of Nyack, New
York, recently completed sixty-tive
years as am employee of the Erie rail-
road, fifty as engineer and twenty
five on one run.
In twenty-five years, on the run
between Jersey City and Nyack, En-
gincer Johnson made $4,000 trips, a
record which is unique in railroad
circles.
Every time a person takes passage
on a train he commits his life to the

usually does it with little thought.

Thc man who takes a train out on

The public owes much to the men

than passing attention.

The Legislature.

In a bill introduced by Senator
Warren and reported favorably by
the senate Judiciary committee
few days ago. leVee boards are
given the right to fund their taxes
into bond issues.
Another measure Of considerable
public inheritance, introduced By
Senator Warren, was also reported
,styorably. The bill provides that
roads across private property which
have been used by the public Tor
twenty-five years, shall become pub
lie highways,
A bilr introduced by Representa-
tive Conrad Meyer to abolish the
present form of government IN New
Orleans and substitute the old coun-
Gilman FORM, under mayor ana
seventeen councilmen, was reported
favorably by the House judiciary
committee. The bill has aroused
storm of protest in the Crescent City.
The bill known as the "Woman>s
rights blanket BILL, embracing the
so-called rights demanded by the
Womans Party, was killed few
DAYS ago, when the senate joint Ju-
dietary committee. by unanimous
vote, ordered an unfavorable report
on the measure without reading 1t.
The Warren BILL proposing
constitutional amendment to author
ize the levy of an income tax, failed
of passage before the senate few
days ag4s The vote being % yeas
and IS nays. 1t requires a two-thirds
vote or % to pass constitutional
amendment.
The voting machine installed in
the House of Representatives. and In
use since the opening of the present
session does not seem to be popular
with all the members Of that body.
A few days ago, number OF rep
resentatives addressed letter to the
House in which they protested
against the use of the machine. The
protest read as follows: We, the I'M
dersigned members of the House of
| Representatives, protest against the
| use of the voting machine on the
ground that we believe the use OF
| such a machine to be unconstitution-
al, illegal and unnecessary upon the
| taxpayers of the state. AS the voting
| machine has been and is being used
against our protest, we take this
method of making our position clear,
and we ask that this protest be pub
lished in the journal, SO that the
people Of the state and the courts
| will take due notice.
A bill introduced by W. J. Ham
mond of Jonesboro, to distribute the
assessment of the rolling stock Of
railroads to the parishes through
which the road runs, prorated &C
cording to the mileage in each par
i ish, was reported favorably by thu
Parochial Affairs committee of thu
House. 1t is said that if the measure
! goes through it will take about $12,
665,892 Of assessments from New
Orleans. Ascension parish, which il
traversed by three trunk lines, AMI
has several miles Of branch roads
would derive considerable benef
from the passage Of the bill.

SHOULD ABOLISH RACE
GAMBLING.

Much Of the time Of the present
session If the Legislature has been
consumed in the discussion of
measure having for its object the
abolition Of race track gambling in
Louisiana. A bill, which it was
thought would have the effect, was
passed several years ago; but 1t has
been found defective, and with a
view of romcdying the defect 1t IS
now sought 10 pass the law under
discussion Race track gambling as
it has been practiscd in New Orleans,
has long been condemned i'll the
scvrrest terms as being responsible
for the financial ruin of some and the
fall and disgrace Of others who were
led to take what did not, belong. to
them in order to play the ponies.
The gambling feature of the races
does not seem 10 be a necessity. 1t
is Of no benefit to any one except the
gambler, who always plays safe. 1t
is a great temptation and a menace
to the weak. 1t is disgrace to our
civilization and the Legislature
should devise means Of efectually
suppressing it.
