INTELLIGENT DOG3.
If one may Judge by the size of the
claims presented In the various coun.
tics for sheep killed by dogs, we are
rapidly losing the best of our sheep
In Kentucky, ami the dugs are show
ing an almost human discrimination
la mutton, says the Louisville Cour-ler-Jouranl.
STieep killed by dogs are
valued at anywhere from $6 to $12
piece, from thlH It appears that the
dots must be given to killing Cots
wolds and Southdowns In full fleece.
In one western Kentucky county It
las been discovered that sheep are
very generally listed for taxation at
$4 a head. In the same county the
claims allowed for bucks, ewes and
lambs killed by dogs range from $8 to
$12. If the assessor's report Is to be
believed, there must be a tremendotiB
lot of scrub sheep In that county to
pull down the average to $4 a head,
and tho dogs must exercise mighty
good Judgment In avoiding the "scala
wags" when they go forth on a slaugh
tering expedition. The dogs aro show
ing a marked preference for high
class mutton that presently, It is to
be apprehended, there will be no
tlooded sheep left In that particular
county. Dead sheep seem to be more
valuable than live ones, and It is dif
ficult to account for such a situation
unless It bo that Kentucky dogs are
progressing extraordinarily In acumen
and in fastidiousness. Under such
circumstances It might be well to
raise the dog tax or to import a
considerable ' number of canines that
are not so allflred smart.
To tho long list of rpclpes for at

new one, highly recomrnendeded by
a man not with a Teutonic, but with
a Celtic, name. He Is enthulastic
about sauerkraut, which be maintains
will enable any man or woman to live
century or more. It will conduce
not only to longevity, but to happi
ness. It la both nutritious and appe
tizing. It feeds the body and stimu
lates the mind. It is cheap. At least
that Is what its sponsor claims as the
result of his personal daily experience
with sauerkraut for about 50 years.
He does not say how often one ought
to eat sauerkraut in order to become
centenarian, but since he advocates
two meals a day for the average per
sons, he would probably not recom
mend eating sauerkraut between
meals.

Allegations That Retailors of Lumber
In the Eastern States Are in a
Combine and Stand Between
Producer and Consumer.
New York. In the first Federal
anti-trust proceedings brought under
the Sherman law, as Interpreted by
the Standard Oil decision, the De
partment of Justice filed suit in the
United States Court here against
various constituent organizations of
what is popularly known as the
"Lumber Trust," alleging the exist
ence of a widespread conspiracy, "un
reasonably" to restrain the lumber
trade in this country.
It is said that the suit may be the
first of a series planned by Attorney
General Wk-keraham, looking to the
breaking up of alleged Enrolments
among the retailers of many of the
commodities of life to maintain high
prices to force all ultimate consum
ers to buy from retailers and to
blacklist wholesalers who sell to oth
ers than members of the retail organ
izations in tho various states and
cities.
The ten trade organizations and
more than 150 Individuals are named i
is defendants in the suit. It alleges
violation of the Sherman anti-trust i
law, and seeks a permanent Injunc- j
Hon restraining the defendants from
continuing the conspiracy charged.
Blacklist for Enemlse.
The elaborate system of blacklist
ing attributed to the alleged con
spirators, copies of circulars sent out
by the various organizations classify
ing consumers as "proper" and "Im
proper" trade, extracts from reports
threatening "short shrift" to leaders
daring to violate the rules of the
organizations and branding such of
fenders as "poachers," "scalpers,'
"mavericks" and "Illegitimates" are
fully set forth in tho government's
petftlon.
It is alleged that not only have
private consumers been blacklisted,
but that many of the great industrial
concerns of the country have been
put under the ban by the lumber
dealers. The government bill, ag
gregating 20,000 words. Is replete
with sensational allegations and In
teresting exhibits.
The suit Is directed specifically
against retail organizations In the
Eastern States, but the trial unques
tionably will embrace methods adopt
ed by retailers and wholesalers
throughout the United States.
Although the lawyers in charge of
the case believe the Standard Oil de
cision involving "reasonable" or "un
reasonable" restraint will not affect
the lumber case, as It Is represented
to be one of simple conspiracy, never
theless the accusatory parts of the
bill conform to that decision and
charge "undue" and "unreasonable"
restraint of the trade of the consumer
and manufacturer of lumber.
Lesser stress Is laid upon the al
leged conspiracy between the defend
ants themselves.

Chicago. George Klmes, a ma

Washington. President Taft Is
opposed to amendments to the reci
procity agreement, no matter who Is

with disfavor on the proposed
amendments of Senators Root nnd

the agreement should go through

will make his fight along that line.

FIGHT FOR HONOR, ROOSEVELT
Former Pree'dent, Writing on Treaty,
Contends Arbitration Can
not Sett'e All.
New York Former President
Roosevelt lias an article on "Tho Ar
bitral ion Treaty with Great, Hrltaln"
in tho "Outlook." He says In pnrt:
Hot ween Great Prltaln and the
United State it Is nw safe to have a
universal arbitration 'roaty, because
tho experience of ninety-six years lias
shown that tho two nationas have
achieved that point of civilization
where each can be trusted not to do
the other any one of the offenses
which ought to preclude any self-respecting
nation from apenllng to arbi
tration. Hut no language should be
used In the treaty which would tend
to obscure this cardinal fact, this car
dinal reason why the treaty Is pos
siblo and desirable.
COL, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Among the private Individuals the
man w ho, if his wife is assaulted and
has her face slapped, will go to law
about it Instead of fortwlth punish
ing the offender would be regarded
with derision. In Just the
Bame way, the United States ought
never siieclflcally to bind itself to
arbitrate questions respecting Its
honor, Independence and integrity.
Either It should be tacitly under
stood that the contracting powers
no more agree to surrender their
rights on such vital matters than a
man In civil life agrees to surrender
the right of self-defense; or else It
should be explicitly stated that, be
cause of the fact that it is now Im
possible for either party to take any
action infringing the honor, Indepen
dence and Integrity of the other, we
are willing to arbitrate all questions.
Mr. Roosevelt refers to armed
bodies of Mexican troops having
fired across the boundary and killed
or wounded American citizens, and
says:
In this case we have chosen to sub
mit to such invasions, as is our right
and privilege if we so desire. Dut It
would be absolutely intolerable to
bind ourselves to arbitrate the ques
tions raised by such invasions. If
for instance, Instead of its being
Mexican troops firing into our Inland
towns and killing our citizens, it hap
pened to be an English or a German
or a Japanese fleet which, not once
but again and again, fired into our
coast towns, killing and wounding
citizens, this nation would immedi
ately demand, not arbitration but
cither atonement or war.
Brandele Ready for inquiry.
Washington. Louis D." Brandeis,
of Boston, arrived here to confer

that he has received orders from

Treaties to Arbitrate Questions

U. S., ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
Drafts of the Treaty Is Submitted by
Secretary Knox to the British and
French Ambassadors to Serve
as Basis of Negotiations.
Washington. Secretary of State
Knox has submitted to the British
and French Ambassadors the draft
of a convention to serve as a basis of
negotiations for the principle of ar
bitration of practically all disputes
between nations, Including even
questions of vital Interest and na
tional honor. Tho fact that this
world movement would be inaugu
rated with France as well as Great
Britain came as a great surprise, as
it was generally understood that only
the United States and England were
concerned in the Initial steps.
When President Taft, last Decem
ber, enunciated tho doctrine of com
prehensive arbitration he received a
quick response from Ambassadors
Bryce and Jusserand that Great Brit
ain and France were willing to begin
negotiations with thin country for the
peaceful settlement of practically all
differences that may arise. Tho Presi
dent Instructed Secretary Knox Im
mediately to crystallize the arbitral
proposition which this government
would offer to foreign nations.
' PHILANDER CHASE KNOX
Secretary of State.
The secretnry has evolved a docu
ment, which has received the ap
proval of the president and the other
members of his cabinet, providing
that all differences which aro Interna
tionally Justifiable shall be submitted
to arbitration. It expands the scope
of tho existing arbitration treaties by
eliminating the exceptions referring
to "questions of vital interest and na
tional honor." This elimination Is
the real accomplishment of the pro
posed treaty. The exceptions men
tioned are found in arbitration
treaties the world over and have con
stituted the chief obstacle to the ap
plication of the arbitration principle,
for It is hard to conceive of a prob
lem which In its essence cannot be re
garded as having a controlling ber-
Ing upon "national honor" or "vital
interest."
Tho United States Senate will not
be asked to relinquish Its right to
pass upon the question of arbitrating
each dispute. All agreements to ar
bitrate will be entered Into with "the
advice and consent of the Senate,

DON FRANCISCO LEON DE LA
BARRA
The foregoing are the conditions
on which President Diaz will com
promise with the revolutionists.
Virtually they are admitted in high
quarters to be a complete surrender
to the revolutionists.
Mndero As Joint Regent.
The resignation of Diaz and the
"Joint regency" of De la Barra and
Madero are said to constitute a guar
antee so complete that the original
Insurrecto demand for 14 governor!
no longer need be considered.
The cabinet was in almost continu
ous session for two days, despite the
severe illness of President Diaz. The
President's entire, face is Infected
from an ulcerated tooth. His upper
lip Is swollen far beyond Its normal
size and his face Is Inflamed. He
speaks with the greatest difficulty,
but whle he is In severe pain, hie
condition Is not alarming at this
time, despite his advanced age.
The government's conditions were
telegraphed to Judge Carbajal In the
afternoon, with instructions to sub
mit them to General Madero. They
were nccepted, apparently as an
armistice covering the entire repub
lic of Mexico, and were agreed upon
at Juarez in the evening. Inasmuch
as the government believes that it
had made every concession that the
revolutionists requested, it is firmly
believed that a treaty of peace will
follow. '
Orders the War Stooped
Juarez, Mexico. Francisco I. Ma
dero, Jr., hns announced that the
news from Mexico City was so entire
ly satisfactory to him it might be unl
versally proclaimed that peace
throughout Mexico is now nn accom
pushed fact. As the date for the
withdrawal from office of President
Diaz and Vice-President Corral has
been definitely fixed for June 1, It
will not be necessary for the lnsur
rectos to institute provisional govern
ors or provisional members of the
cabinet for the Intervening 12 days,
but the fact that Madero will act with
Minister De La Barra In the reorganl
zation of the government will be ac
cepted as sufficient guarantee of the
success of the revolution.
Diaz's announcement of his Inten
Hon to resign Is accepted with abso
lute faith by the revolutionists.
