The report was in harmony with many of the hundred overtures touching the home mission board, problem and was Te- garded as a step toward an adjust- ment of the divers opinions held by various presbyteries.

This was Horwitz's third appearance in police court and his past record went a long way towards getting him such a stiff sentence. The Santalin girl testified that as she was going home shortly before 9 o'clock last night she was accosted | by Horwitz in Paradise Park. She | declared that hé made improper ad-| vances towards her and she got| frightened and called a policeman. Officer Meehan investigated the case. George Ryan, another boy who was present at the time of the assault, told the court of the girl's approach and of Horwitz's saying that he would like to “look her over.” Ryan said that when Horwitz grabbed the girl he rushed over amdl interfered.

Regarding Ryan's testimony the prisoner declared that the other boy had not interfered to save the girl, but because he wanted to go home with her himself.

John Bassett Moore of Columbia university, recently counsellor or the state department, who presided at the conference, said in his opening that the mediation ~of the Fpowers, no matter what may Tesult, is a remarkable.event history of international rela- t in the western hemisphere. has been hailed,” he said, “ad the beginning of a new Pan-American diplomacy, and it may at any rate be | regarded as the most striking devei- opment yet witnessed of the Pan- American movement which was ferm- ally inaugurated by the first internw- tional American conference at Wash= ington in 1889 and 1890." Results Not Remarkable. Mr. Moore itted that actual re- sults from ax fon during the past two years.-h@ 0t been remarkable, d had been marked by armed conflicts of exceptional de- structiveness. Speaking of the last war in the Balkans, he said there was much to indicate that the end of hvs- tilities in that quarter of the globe was not yet in sight. Three hundred members are here for this, the twentieth annual confer- ence. The§ come from all parts of the United” States and from Europe and South America.

The first session today was open: by Daniel Smiley, host of the confe? ence. Other speakers were John Stewart of New York, chairman of the executive committee of the Amer- ican Peace Centenary committee; John Stewart Bryan, editor of the The competi- prizes ranging Times Dispatch and News Leader of| Richmond, Va.; W. W. Willoughby of Baltimore, professor of political science at Johns Hopkins university and Arthur Deering Call of Washing ton, executive director of the Ameri- | can Peace society. Mr. Stewart asserted that war with Mexico or controversies in congress regarding the interpretation of a treaty can detract not a whit from the glory of the fact of a century of peace. The general topic today was the status of the arbitration and peace movement. Federico A. Pezet, the Peruvian minister, is on the program tcnight for an address, and the gen- eral topic of treaties will be dis- cussed by several authorities on in ternational relations. Raps Existing Treaties. John Bassett Moore declared existing arbitration treaties backward steps. As far back as 17 he found the United States and Gr that were 4 at Britain admitting to arbitration in a | sweeping manner certain points which would be subject to exception or re- striction under the treaty with Great Britain today. “As we are somewhat prone to boast of leading the van in the cause of peace, it may be worth our while to consider,” he said, “whether we should ‘not occupy advanceg than that which we now hold i we were to go back to practice we adopted a hundred ‘aha twenty years ago.” Mr. Moore, whose resignation last March from the high office of coun- selor of the state department, stirred Washingten with rumors of a clash with Secretary Bryan, made no at- tack upon the policies of his former chief. He spoke favorably of the pending “Bryan Peace Treaties.” His address was: “A Survey of the Present Situation. Deplores Recent Arbitration. He deplored that the cases of arbi tration initlated during the past two years “have not in any respect been notable—related as they were for the most art to simple pecuniary ques- tions,” and that even these had been overshadowed by “armed conflicts ol exceptional destructiveness,” particu- larly in the Balkans, where the end of hostilities was not yet assured. He referred to the A, B. C. med- iation” now going on: “Prior to The Hague convention, the tender of good offices or mediation without solicitation or consultation (Continued on Fourth Page.)
