ST A OUST APOSTLES. MAY President Smith Causes a Stir in the Mormon Chureh. SALT LAKE, Utah, April 6.—Joseph F. ., president of the Mormon Church, today at the opening 8¢ th annual cenference of Latter Day Saints, created a stir ng the thousands of his followers as- bled in the great Tabernacle by a pofted reference to absent apostles, His remarks were interpreted to mean that the church authorities have determined to discipline those apostles who for more | than two years have been in voluntary exile. These are: Apostles J. W. Taylor, George Teasdale and Mattheas Cowle; A were wanted at Washington in the Smoot case, but the subpena servers have been unabfe to find them. Taylor and Cowley are in Canada, and Teasdale is posed to be in Mexico. From the remarks of President Smith it is inferred that the conference will not be asked to sustain these apostles. The matter probably will come before the con- ference on Sunday, when an apostle will be named in syccession to the late Ma- riner W. Merrill and possibly to succeed the three absent members of the quorum. + Francis M. Larkin, Ph.D.; opportunity to | The | substantiate | Speaker Predicts Bright Future for the Nations. Great Congress Is Assured. {Public, Opinion Will Change Existing Conditions. i e H. D. Loveland, president of the Pacific { Coast Jobbers' and Manufacturers’ As- | soclation, addressed the members of the American and British Unlon on “World | Arbitration” in the Academy of Sclences Hall, last evening. The speaker advanced the theory that the nations of the world | were gradally leading up to arbitration, end it was only a course of time when law would be substituted for war. | spoke of Thé Hague conference as the in part: Accepting that as a premise from which to | reason, let me repeat that the adjustment of international questions by peaceful conference aud arbitration is possible, That cryetallized epitome of civilized experience, international law, proves that it {s possible. International law is the logical answer which time has given te world-felt want and necessity developed by advancing civilization. Why, then, is It not possible to widen and enlarge the ecope of in- ternational law as it is recognized and ob | served today by the world's family of nations tistylng world-felt want and neces- in any direction than established international law carries them today in some directions. A careful examination and consideration of the tmportant matters now subject to interna- tional law and a realization of how greatly cognition of its principles have benefited mankind will, I believe, convince any thinking man or woman that it not only can be, but it ehould be extended to its logical .imit, the result of which would be & congress of representatives from every civilized pation of the world to decide international questions. Other and extremely cogent reasons may be advanced, going to show that the principles of substituting “law for rorce” will some day become susceptible of world application, and those that occur to me at this time as particu- larly worthy of mention are the probable de- structiveness of future wars and the growing importance of international commercial rela- tiona. The inventive genlus of men has in no other direction accomplished greater results than In providing destructive forces for use in war. The factory and the machine shop have con tributed the rapid-firing guns and guns of im. mense caliber and carrying power. The labora- | tory has given us expiosives of such character | a5 "to make one shudder at the possibllity of | their use in modern warfare by means of sub- marine boats and torpedoes which are already | accomplished facts, and the successful airship, the coming of which is so confdently expectel. War on sea or land will be made impossiblé | by remson of its destructiveness. Cities could be destroyed in & manner that would be ap- palling. Forts would be of mo protection. Commerce could be swept from the seas, and it is the contemplation of these awful possibill- ties that is doing much to awaken civilized world to the necessity of substituting law for C es H. J.

Every word that can be spoken, every argument that can be advanced 1a support of its posstbllity, may be urged aiso to demonstrate its probability.

Already we have substantial evidence of the birth and growth of this sentiment. The Hague conference, to the perpetuity of which our common countries have contributed, shows how this thought, this hope of inter- | national arbitration, permeates the nations of | the eartn. Lastiy, le it necessary or desirable? Surely but 1t need be sald on this subdivision of my subject. The old idea that wars were necessary to the development of the mmnly teriorates in these qualities In piping times of peace has long since been exploded. In olden | times, when men displayed their prowess in hand to hand combat and met thelr foe with battle ax, broadsword or lance, to prove the | beauty and grace of their mistresses or the | glory of their country, in open battle or on | the tilting field, there was inspiration to deeds of daring and the lust of battle was easily ex- plained. But that time j& past. War today is eclentific killing at long distance, and there is little of that feeling of personal participa- tion that gives zest to battle. But above and beyond all such sentiment, and paramount in | tmportance, should be the humanitarian aspect of the question. Finally, let us look at the practical side of the question. Think for one moment what the nations of earth could do for their people; what they could accomplish in the way of internal improvements, what industries could | be developed: whst arid wastes could be re- claimed; what opportunities for Improvement along educational lines could be afforded: what help and cgre could be extended to the poor | and needy; what innumerable things could be | Gone for the gemeral good. If war were a thing of the past and the vast sums now ex- pended in wars and preparations for conflict Tere devoted to these more noble and glorious purposes. We shall not all live to see a consummation 20 devoutly to be hoped for, but it is coming. Just as the dawn of a beautiful morning her— elds its approach by streaks of light in the eastern sky, so this-fruition of our hopes, this | glorious dawn of the worid's emancipation from the dire results of ambition, greed and lust of power, is foretold by such events as the Hague conterence, the International Coun- il of Brussels and the work of De Constant and his associates and. coming nearer home, the splendld efforts of President Rvosevelt. e ege—— MAKES THREATS TO KILL HIS DAUGHTER AND MOTHER | Fred Robert Is Arrested and Complaint ‘Will Be Sworn To This Morning. Miss Robert, 1517 Broderick street, called upon Captain Burnett at police headquarters yesterday afternoon and | made a complaint that her father, Fred Robert, had threatened to kill her and | her grandmother, who lives with them. 1 8he said her father had been drinking | heavily and all night he had been mut- | tering threaths against them. Detective Gorham of the Golden Gate Park station happéned to be at head- quarters and Captain Burnett instructed him ‘to accompany Miss Robert to hor home. When they reached there Ro- bert, in the presence of Gorham, re- peated his threat to kill his daughter {and her grandmother and the detec- tive promptly placed him under arrest. He was taken to the park station and later removed to'the City Prison. Miss Robert sald she 'was afraid that her father would carry out his threat and at the suggestion of Gorham she promised to swear to a complaint this morning charging him with threats against life. § — e DR.

PETERSBURG, April 6.—~The elec- tions by the Constitutional Democratg of St. Petersburg of Professor Paul M. Milu- koff and M. Hessen as delegates to the Provineial Convention have been annulled by the Election Commission on the ground that they are under indictment in connec— tion with the suspension of the Svo Bo- danabog, of which paper they were edit- ors. The commission hag replaced them by Conservative candidates, who received scarcely a tenth of the vote cast for Milu- koff and Hessen. The action of the au- thorities has aroused a storm In Radical circles because the commission did not take exception to their candidatures be- fore the balloting. - Besides Professor Milukoff is one of the prominent leaders of the Constitutional Demoerats and was expected to be a power in Parliament. ‘The rigorous press nounced yesterday have been supplement- ed by a sweeping repressive measure mak- ing it a penitentiary offense to spread false reports about Government officials or troops, which tend to produce public excitement.

FETERSBURG, April 6.—Father regulations- an- | Under Secretary Fitzmaurice Asserts That There Were No Victors Nor Vanquished ORDER ASSURED NOW Official Expresses Regret at Illness of° Von Bulow and Extends His Sympathy . LONDON, April 6—In the House of Lords this afternoon, replying to a ques- tion regarding the Moroccan conference, the Under Secretary, Lord Edmund Fitz- maurice, said that the signing - of the protocol would decur at an early date if not tomofrow. He added that when the papers were laid on the table in the House he thought the members would agree that the phrase, frequently used, that there had been ‘neither victors nor vanquished,” expressed the true situa- tion. The agreement, the Under Secre- tary added, was a further guarantee of the maintenance of harmonious action on the part of the powers and a valuable step in the progress of restoration to the southern shores of the Mediterranean of civilization' and order. Great Britain, he said, had strictly abided in the letter and in the spirit by the agreement made with France in 1904, thus strengthening good relations between the two countries. During the course of his remarks the TUnder Secretary expressed the great sympathy which he was sure all mem- bers felt with the German Chauncellor, Prince von Bulow, and with Germany in the sudden illness which had befallen the Frince, and 'also. paid a tribute to the ability of the Marquis Visconti Venosta, head cf the Itallan delegation at Alge- ciras. —_—————————— Striking Miner Is Shot and Killed.

Although all of those persons belonging to the town and vicinity who were miss- ing have been accounted for the work of searching the debris continues In the fear that bodies of strangers are under the ruins. The hotel, which was fifty feet by forty feet, was built of brick. A timber frame- work for lifting it to a higher level had been constructed by a Stutigart con- tractor. The house was within less than | two inches of the desired level when the | disaster’ occurred. -Work had been sus- pended for dinner and the working force | was in one end of the building and the guests, including the local Liederkranze, were in the main dining-room. The house was placarded with “No ad- mittance™ signs all the forenoon, but the | people grew heedless of these when the | raising of the bullding seemed to have been successful and the younger persons began dancing. The vict!ms were all local workmen and townsmen or villagers living in the vicin- ity of Nagold. Much bittérness. prevails at Nagold against the contractor and the States At- torney from Tuebingen has begun an official investigation of the disaster. He has found tuat the precautions taken against an accldent were of the slightest, but it is doubtful if the contractor is solely responsible for this.
