TAFT URGES ITS ADOPTION Roosevelt In periodical Attacka Docu­ ment aa Hypocritical and Deficient, 8ays It la Constructed Too Loose­ ly to Be Underatood. Hartford, Conn.--President Taft In an address here scored the majority of the senate foreign relations com* mlttee for its "narrow view" in regard to the senate's power to make treaties and defend the peace pacts now pend­ ing before that body. Simultaneously there was made pub­ lic In New York an article by Col. Theodore* Roosevelt In the Outlook characterising these conventions as silly and impractical; protesting against the binding of tbe United States to arbitrate questions of nation­ al honor, declaring that the American people would not observe such an agreement and that advocacy of It. therefore, wa* hypocrisy. He declares there are certain things in the proposed agreement that the United StateS never would attempt to tecognlze and that the document is constructed so loosely that It never could be determined Just what certain parts of it mfcant. President Taft endeavored to show the benefits that would accrue to the high contracting parties from com­ plete arbitration and the support which his movement was receiving from peace societies and commercial organizations. Perhaps the most signiflcent part of his address was as follows: "I call your attention to the unfor­ tunate consequences, not only to our­ selves but to the whole civilized world, not only for today, but for ages to come. If the final adoption of this reasoning by the senate committee Is to prevail. "Steadily throughout the world the burden of the creation of armies and fleets has grown heavier and heavier, steadily th a competition has grown more fierce that is crushing the life and tbe hopes of the people. "But steadily, too, and of late even more rapidly, Bas grown the hope that an escape from these burdens may be found, that la some measure at least the peaceful methods of settling disputes among individual men may obtain among nations, in some meas­ ure I say. let us not be too extrava­ gant in our dreams and our prophe­ cies, and yet who can say what the end of such a movement may be? "Now, wherever good men and wom­ en the world over are looking and praying for the dawn of this great dav of peace, their eyes turn first with hope and confidence to the great re­ public of the west, to the land whose ideals are of peace and Justice, indus­ try and freedom, to the land which more than any other bas used the peaceful method of arbitration for the settlement of its difficulties with other nations. "In this great movement we are the hope of the world. These hopes by the proposed narrow construction of the senate's power to make a treaty we are now to strike down. To the men and women who are struggling and longing we say, 'Ix>ok not to us for leadership We cannot even follow.' "For remember, if the senate cannot now bind us to abide the Judgment of an arbitral court as to whether a question Is justiciable it can never bind us. and if the senate cannot bind us. the nation cannot bind us. and this peace-loving people Is forever incapa­ ble of taking a step alonp the great path which all the world wishes to 1read, and along which ail the world thinks America best fitted tD lead."

While weather conditions practical­ ly throughout the country were rea­ sonably favorable to gtowing crops during the month of August, tbe crop report did not indicate generally much improvement in the condition of Che crops over that of a month ago. Some Improvement was shown in the great staple crop of corn as of September 1 over August 1. but It amounted to only seven-tenths of one per Cent, in the aggregate. The yield of corn this year, as indicated by the report, will be 23.6 bushels per acre, as compared with 27.4 bushels last y%ar. Wheat shows a falling off of ap­ proximately ten per cent. In condition as compared with the average for the last ten years. Oats also shows a considerable fall­ ing off both in condition and In aver­ age yield per acre.

Madison, Wis.--Annie Lemberger, seven years old, who was mysterious­ ly stolen from her bed on September 6, has been found. The child's body, naked, was taken from Lake Monona. She had been murdered before being thrown into the lake. The cause of the crime still Is a mystery. There was no visible evidence of violence so far as a superficial exam­ ination disclosed beyond, perhaps, a slight laceration of one ear. A dis­ coloration on the neck, however, as If from unnatural causes, may Indicate that the child was strangled. The lit­ tle body was entirely nude and was discolored, having been in the water several days. The body was found by George Younger, a cement worker living at South Madison. There was a peaceful expression on the face of the child at the undertaking rooms, Vhere she was brought by the police ambulance In charge of Capt. Henry Davenport. The most plausible theory is murder for revenge. The child was taken from her Bleep­ ing room at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Lemberger. early In the morning of September 6. The child was clad only In a night gar­ ment, but even this was gone. Long brown hair, wet and bedraggled, streamed down from the little head. The body was found about a mile from the stricken home. It may have been dropped from tbe railroad bridge across the bay. If not, then the child, was taken out in a boat and thrown overboard and drifted near the shore.

Beattie's senior counsel, Harry N. Smith, asked that the verdict be set aside as contrary to the law and evi­ dence.

REPEAL OF PROHIBITION LAW IB CARRIED BY ABOUT 1,400 VOTE®, MAINE GOES "WET [DEATH BEFORE 100 »IS SUIGIDE CITIES DECIDE THE BATTLE With Twenty-Five Towns Mlafiot Ballot Stands 60,878 For and " 59,563 Against Change of Constitution. Portland, Me.--Unofficial returns in­ dicate that prohibition has been voted out of the constitution of the state of Maine by a majority of about 1,400 votes. About twenty-five small towns have not been reported and the k vote of these, together with errors incident to the collection of returns by tele­ phone, left the exact result In some douht. One hundred and twenty thousand voters cast ballots on the question. With the twenty-five towns missing the vote was 60,$78. for repeal "and 59.563 against a change in the con­ stitution. As had been predicted, the cities were the chief strongholds of the re- real faction, but the majority at 12,000 in the total city vote was bare­ ly pufcient, aciiordinfc to the latest available returns, to offset the vote of the rural communities. Although the vote did not equal that of a year ago, when the Democrats swept the state, which for years had been a Republican stronghold, the election was one of the most Interest­ ing contests the stale has ever known. There was not a home in any sec­ tion of tne state which had not been flooded with literature sent out by both Bides, while the voters were waited upon by personal workers and harangued at public gatherings, to east their ballots for or against re­ peal, as the case might be. The re­ sult was that hundreds of voters who had not visited the polls for years, with the possible exception of last ye" were recorded. There is said to ' e every possibil­ ity that Governor Plaisted may be prevailed upon to call a special ses­ sion of the legislature to take action on the repeal of the statute law, which, in effect, is the same as the constitutional amendment, and the enactment of another law for the regu­ lation of the liquor business. A local option law such as prevails in Massa­ chusetts is what the license advocates seek. . HURRY U. S. SHfPS TO CHINA Admiral Murdock Takes Three Cruis­ ers to Protect American Mis­ sionaries From Rioters. Washington.--All the American naval strength deemed/ necessary as a precaution Is being concentrated as near as possible to the scene of riot­ ing and bloodshed in China. Admiral Murdock cabled to the navy department that he sailed on his flag­ ship Saratoga, accompanied by the cruisers New Orleans and Helena from Shanghai for Nanking. The ad­ miral's report contained nothing re­ garding the situation in China. More than twenty rioters and a number of soldiers have been killed In battle during the past few days, re­ sulting from attacks of the infuriated and dissatisfied natives upon the Ya- men, or residents of Cheung-Tu and Sze Chuen. This Information, the first news of bloodshed In the present dis­ turbances, has reached the state de­ partment. Ringleaders of the agitation have been arrested by the viceroy of the province. This Inflamed their follow­ ers and resulted in a vicious attack' upon the Yamen, the residents of Cheng Tu and the viceroy by the mob. Thf soldiers fired into the rioters, killing more than twenty of them. The mob returned and in a subse­ quent assault upon the viceroy's resi­ dence slew a number of the troops. Latest news In regard to the condi­ tions is unattainable as the telegraph wires between Cheng Tu and Chung­ king have been cut.
