RAYNER FAVORS PEACE PACTS Speaks Against Proposed Senate Amendments. PREDICTS ERA OF PEACE Universal Harmony Will Prevail, He Declares, When the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France Sign ane Seal Treaties of Arbitra tion. Washington, Jan. 17.—Senator Isi- dor Rayner of Maryland, in a speech on the arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France, contended that after the proposed joint high commis- sion had determined to submit a con- troversy to arbitration it would be per- fectly useless to give the senate the right to reverse the commission’s ac- tion. He declared to the senate that the treaties would become a mockery and a farce if such a resolution, per- mitting arbitrators to decide a case and then giving the defendant the right to reverse if the award did not suit, were written into the ratification as proposed by Senator Lodge: “What is the use,” he asked, “of having the high commission, of paying | the enormous expense and of invest- ing it with the power that it has if its judgment is not going to amount to anything whatever on the face of the earth and if the senate shall have the | right to set it aside whenever it suits them? Favors Treaties as They Stand. “I am for the treaties as they stand. I am perfectly willing to abide the | decision by the joint high commission. But I am not willing to enact a com- | edy like this which places the whole power in the hands of the senate and then leaves foreign countries to under- | stand that the power vested in the | commission is a genuine one and that | we intend to abide by it.” | Senator Rayner added that the treat- fes did not mean an alliance with | Great Britain or any country. | “If they did,” he said, “I would rath- | er see the treaties torn into shreds than accepted. The day will come |} when Germany will enter into the | compact and when that occurs and the | United States and Great Britain and Germany and France sign and seal the | covenant the era of universal peace will down upon the world. “Then the earth will no longer rock beneath the tread of battling legions. | and naval armaments will no longer | patrol the waters of the world in} search for the possessions of the un- conquered race.” | SWEDISH WOMEN TO VOTE) Speech From Throne. Promises Their Enfranchisement. | Stockholm, Jan. 17.—Women hence- | forth are to take a full and equal | share with men in the political life of Sweden. The speech from the throne at the opening of the riksdag contained the announcement. that a bill was to be introduced enfranchising women and making them eligible at the elections to the riksdag on the same conditions as men. Every Swede over twenty-four years old and not under any legal disability has the right to vote for members of the Second chamber. | On behalf of the government it was stated that King Gustav, who opened the sessions of the riksdag in person, | regards it as right and in the best in- | terests of the state. that women should | be placed on.this equality with men. TO SHOW WHO WAS MASTER | Husband of Lulu Glazer Admits He Struck Her. £ Chicago, Jan. 17.—Ralph C. Herzi appeared in court, where his wife, known as Lulu Glazer, an actress, is suing for divorce and denied that the action was one of collusion between them. He had been quoted as saying he was allowing his wife to procure a@ separation “through chivalry” and Judge MacDonald held up a prepared decree until he could question the hus- band. Herz said he wouldn’t live with his wife and admitted he struck her in the presence of her mother during a card game “to show her who was master.” The court reserved de- cision.

INVESTI New York Congress Business Is Suft. MORGAN A CONST AT Representative Who Objects to Probe ef Alleged “Money Trust” Comes From District Where Big Financier Resides—Criticises Sherman Anti- Trust Law and interstate Commerce Commission. Washington, Jan. 17.—Representa- tive Jefferson Levy of New York, who numbers J. Pierpont Morgan among his constituents, objected before the house .committee on rules to favor- able ‘action on the resolution intro- duced by Representative Charles L. Lindbergh of Minnesota providing for an investigation of the so called “money trust.” Mr. Levy; who is a Democrat, thought his party was doing entirely too much investigating, and as a result was ruining business. He declared that the passage of the Lindbergh. resolution wouid be ex- tremely harmful to the business inter- ests of the country. The New York member declared | that if the courts ever sustain tne Sherman anti-trust law in toto there will be a terrific panic in the United States and in the next breath he re- marked that “the Socialistic proclivi- | ties of the interstate commerce com: | mission have put us back fifty years.” “What has any legitimate business to. fear from an investigation?” in- quired Representative Lenroot of Wis- consin. “Oh,” responded Mr. Levy, impa- tiently, “we have nothing but investi- gations. Let us do something to help Photo by American Press Association. CONGRESSMAN LEvy, business. It is costing the govern- ment and the corporations millions of money for all these investigations. You are tying up all the business of. the United States. This agitation is ruining us commercially.” “Are the business interests. afraid?” asked Representative Philip P. Camp- bell of Kansas, the newly elected member of the-rules committee. “No,” Mr. Levy replied, “but they are kept on edge all the time. They | want relief.” “From what?” Mr. Campbell con- tinued. “They want the Sherman law cor- | | Tected,” said Mr. Levy. “How—by repeal?” asked Represen- tative Foster of Indiana. “Oh, I den’t say that,” Mr. Levy. hastily rejoined. Mr. Lindbergh spoke briefly at the conclusion of Mr. Levy’s remarks. He earnestly urged the committee to take early and favorable action on his resolution. NOT DISCUSSING PIPE DREAM Roosevelt’s Answer to Report That Steel Trust Favors Him. New. York, Jan. 17.—Colonel. Theo- dore Roosevelt declared that he was “not discussing pipe dreams” when he was asked about a report from Indianapolis to the effect that he was favored by the steel interests for the presidential nomination. “That is a depth of tomfoolery to which I cannot go,” he said. “Have you read Mr. Carnegie’s tes- timony before the house committee?” he was asked. “I didn’t know he testified,” Colonel Roosevelt replied, smilingly. Trust Fights Ouster Decree. Washington, Jan. 17.—The Interna- tional Harvester company has filed in the supreme court of the United States an appeal from the action of the su- preme court of Missouri in ousting it from the state under the state anti- trust laws. Lumberman’s Son Killed. Menominee, Mich., Jan. 17.—While Five children burned to death and the father, Irwin Carlisle, seriously in- jured is the result of a fire at Mot- ley, a small town twenty-three miles west of Brainerd. The family residence caught fire at 9:30 p. m. and the father ran to the second floor to save the children there. As he reached the upper landing the floor collapsed and he fell with the timbers, but escaped death. Mrs. Carlisle and her twin daughter Pearl, aged thirteen years, were saved, but Myri, aged thirteen; Millie, aged eleven; Pansy, aged nine; Ida, aged five, and Bessie, aged two, died in the flames. The house was totally de stroyed. The injured man was taken to a Brainerd hospital, where, unmindful of his own severe burns, he mourns over the loss of his children. The Carlisle dwelling was a simple two-story frame house, situated about two blocks from the downtown dis- trict and in the heart of the little village. An overheated stove is be- lieved to have started the fire. The ; temperature was about 25 degrees be- low zero and a strong wind was blow- ing. Under these conditions the house burned as readily as it would had oi) been poured over it GLOTFELTER AGAIN CHOSEN Re-Elected President of Minnesota Agricultural Society.
