London. June 9th--Harry Thaw,
American millionaire who killed Stan
ford White in New York in 1909, will re-
turn to New York today on the Cunard
Liner "Aquitania," on which he has re.
manned since the vessel berthed at
Southampton on Wednesday, in con-
sequence of the refusal of the Home
Office to allow him to land. He had
tried to obtain a reversal OF the Home
Secretary's action, but failed.
London, June 9th.--A new and import
ant development in the prayer book con-
troversy was announced last night by
Sir William JOHNSON Hicks, Home Secre-
tary, namely, the preparation of an al
tentative measure for consideration 1t a
measure passed by the Church Assembly
and embodying the Bishops raised pro-
posaIs should be rejected by Parliament
next week. The home Secretary. who
is President of the National Church
League and is one Of the opposition to
the Bishops proposals, stated that a
committee Of competent men,, who were
already engaged in the task. would pre-
pare a book to cover nOn-cOntentlOus
enrichments and variations which were
found in the rejected book" and which
there was reason to believe were gen.
orally acceptable. 1t was the only con-
t%entious matter %relatiny to Holy C1m-
munion upon which difference existed.
1t should only be necessary therefore, to
take out of the prayer book contentious
parts to enable CO. agreement 70 be reach
ed. Such a new prayer book measure
would of course have to De sponsored
through the Church Assembly. He be-
Iieved that if Archbishops end Bishops
should agree upon a measure of this
kind, the matter would go through by
general consent and thus an end be put
to the controversy.

INTERVENTION
IS MEET TOPIC
Pan-Am Nations Con.
slider Requirement
For Recognition

HAVANA, Feb. 3.|R-Principles
governing the recognition of de
facto governments were before the
delegates of the Pan-American con-
ference today for study. They will
be discussed at a meeting OF the
public international law committee
tomorrow.
Victor Maurtua, Peru. a reporter
70 the committee on public inserna-
tional law, asserted that all gov
ernments should be recognized which
fulfilled these requisites:
Effective authority, with the
probability of stability and ccnsoli-
dation, and whose laws are freely
accepted by the population at least
as far as taxation and military SER
vice are concerned.
Capacity and desire to fulfill pre-
existing international obligations, TO
contract new ones and to respect the
duties established by international
law"
Senior Maurtua also proposed that
the flat unconditional statement of
the Rio Janeiro jurists' conference
prohibiting Intervention by n state
in the internal affairs Of another
should be amended so that, while
condemning ~unprovoked intervention
as q general rule, it still recog-
nized that such emergencies might
arise rs to render Intervention JUS
tifiable.
An amendment 70 a draft treaty
defining the obligations Of govern.
ment in cases of revolutions in neigh
boring countries was altered to de.
fine more exactly what ships might
be seized. The original read ships
equipped for hostilities" might be
be seized. This was changed <
read equipped by the rebellion" af
ter a debate led by Charles Evans
Hughes, chairman Of the United
States delegation.
"We are very interested in for.
eign commerce." Mr.. Hughes said
"and we are not desirous Of en-
couraginx civil strife" The Ameri
can government, he continued, in
tended when it approved a treat,
that the treaty be observed an6
therefore he suggested a clearel
definition.
The phrase equipped BY the re-
bellion" was substituted in the clause
which applies to merchantmen g:
well as war craft.
