LANSING MAKES APPEAL,
Secretary of State Lansing dwelt sIb
"The feellnK that the Kcpubllcs of this
hemisphere," said Societal j- I.anshiB,
"constitute a sroup .separate and apart
from the other nations of tho world,
united by common Ideals and common
aspirations, today has become a dellnlto
and certain force which draws,-tosether
the it republics and mnkca them the
American fumlly of nations."
The Secretary reiterated the declara
tion of President Wilson legardlnB senti
ments which will find I'clio In every
other American Itcpubllc that tho mlBht
of this country will never bo exercised
In n spirit of creed to wrest from a
m nel;hboilns Stnto Its territory or pos
f' sessions. Ho suBscsted that tho Pnn-
American nations mlBht well take the
motto of Dumas' "Three Musketeers."
'One for All, All for One."
Tho Secietnry urBcd co-opcrntlon for
defense against any country that might
16ok with covetous eyes on tho rlcheH
of the Americas, lie said there should
be closer relationships in trade nnd com-
mere i
t"They must be not only neighbors, but
friends, lint unit, frlnil lint Inttmntn "
B he said, He pictured a continent at war
there "untold misery Is being endured
nd terrible herltago being- transmitted
to succeeding generations," nnd drew n
comparison with the continent at pence
a teaching a lesson that should not be
snored.
"With all earnestness." tho Secretary
concluded, "I commend to you the thought
of the American republics, 21 sovereign
and Independent nations, bound together
by faith nnd Justice nnd firmly cemented
by a svnmnthv whteh knnwa n sunerior
nd no Inferior, but which recognizes only
quality and fratcrnit."
100.M0 ATTEND,
Nearly 100.000 of the most distinguished
publicists, scientists and educators, of
ftorth. Central and South America are
attending the congress. It was charac
terized today as an "Invasion of peace"
and a pan-Ameilcan "mobilization of
brains."
Vlco President Marshall formally wel
comed the delegates in the absence of
President Wilson, after John llarrett, di
rector or the Pan-American I'nlon, called
the congress to order, with Assistant Sec
retary of State Phillips presiding until

"AL" YOUNG, M'NICHOL
MURDER "WITNESS," IS
IN CITY, POLICE SAY
Cousin of Keller Believed to
Have Been in Leather Fac
tory at Time of
Killing
INQUEST NEXT WEEK
"Al" Young Is hiding In this city, nc
cordlng to detectives who nre seeking
him ns the "star witness" In tho trunk
murder mystery. Young, a nephew of
Kdwurd Keller, who Is In Moynmcilslng
Prison nccuscd of the murder of Daniel
J. McXIchol, Is believed by the police
to have been in the factory of McXIchol
ot 12th nnd Hamilton streets with Keller
on March ISO, 1914, tho day McXIchol went
to meet Keller there nnd disappeared.
The police theory Is that McXIchol was
shot while in the fnctory ofllces nnd put
Into u trunk ; that this trunk wns taken
to Keller's home, at ISIS Weiudey street,
and from there to his laundry, at 0til
Frnnkford avenue, In the cellar of which,
now an unoccupied building, the trunk
containing the bodv was found burled.
The Inquest Into the death of McXIchol,
who was n second cousin of State Sen
ntor James P. McXIchol, will be held next
week, probably Tucsdas-. Ily that tlmo
the detectives) say their case against Kel
ler will be complete. Damaging testimony
not yet made public will bo iecnled nt
tho Inquest, according to the police.
C. P. Sterner, counsel for Keller, hns
nunounced that he will Institute habeas
corpus proceedings Immediately after the
Inquest. For this reason it i believed
that tho detectives will produce before
Coroner Knight every scinp of evldcnco
they have.

feet under the surface wns blasted. He
was 270 feet from the scene of the ex
plosion, but u piece of rock traveled
through the tunnel In a straight line and
struck his chest, causing death shortly
