Street Boss. 'I SHIVELY FIGHTING TREATY OF MORGAN The Santo Domingo Customs Scandal Has Lid Removed by the House and the Odor Is Not a Sweet One. (National News Association) Washington, May 23. "Dollar Diplomacy" baa lost. It Is admitted, in Tlw of disclosures made before the aenate committee on foreign relationa yesterday by Senator Smith of Michigan showing that J. Pierpont Morgan bad In mind a treaty between the United States and llonduraa even before the state department had considered It and even before the Taft administration was five months old, that the pending' treaty cannot be ratified." An Issue involved, more far reaching than the case of Honduras, immediately Involved in pending convention. Is "dollar diplomacy" aa an international policy. It involves the question whether South and Central American republics aball be exploited by Wall street in the name of the Monroe doctrine and tbe armed forces of the government be put behind them to make effective their plans when softer methods of diplomacy fails. Shivsly Is Praised. Senator Shivcly is being congratulated for the part he haa taken In fighting the Honduras treaty. He haa atood pat in the face of strong influence. When it came to the make-up of the foreign relations committee, at the beginning of the session Republican aenatora were offered a membership on the committee if they would agree in advance to pledge themselves lu favor of the Honduras treaty. At least one prominent western Republican refused to accept aervlce on the Committee under such conditions. Dr. Jacob H. Hollander, professor Of political economy and finance In Johna Hopkins university, will probably be recalled to testify before the house committee on expendltv-rs for the state department aa to his participation in the Santo Domingo customs receivership, and as alleged, the abnormal compensation he received. He was before the house committee yesterday and sought to Justify the fact that although he received a fee of $40,000 from the United Statca for his services, which actually covered but a few montha, although nominally extending over nearly two years, that he then exacted from the Santo Domingo republic an additional compensation of $100,000. In the Santo Domingo case Roosevelt appointed Hollander to nominally sirt the claims of the foreign creditors of Santo Domingo and report those that were entitled to consideration. Complaint haa been made by many American creditors of Santo Domingo that Hollander arbitrarily turned down many American claims. But the chief criticism of his work was the manner in which he apparently played into the hands of certain New York fnancial Interests. TWO OF KIND NOW .

HE'S N , AGAIN J STILL SOARING IS THE EARLHAM FUND i $22,000 Mark in the DebtLifting Campaign Has Now Been Reached. EARLHAM DEBT FUND. Previously acknowledged .....$21,031 New pledges 971 Today's total $22,002 Earlham's fund passed today from $21,000 to $22,000. It just barely got over the line, but the margin was enough to satisfy everyone at campaign headquarters with ' the day's showing. The increase fell a little short of the average day's reports, but the campaign leaders expect a dull day once in a while. "As a matter of fact." said President Kelly, "we have had few days that could in any sense of the word be called dull. The campaign has been lively from the start. It is a live issue we have presented, and it is a live campaign. Our people, and friends of Earlham, feel that this is a serious business, and that they are called on to give It serious consideration. It is not a question of 'Shall? I give?' but one of 'I want to give all I can; just how much can I afford? The pledges now on file at headquarters show that many of our friends are putting Earlham ahead of personal things. They are impressed with the importance of the emergency and are putting aside minor things in order to meet this big one. What they can 'afford' is being measured by what can be denied. "Other who are financially able to give largely, have done so and are continuing to do so. I hope that all who will give to this cause will do so promptly as well as generously. It should be remembered that all pledges are conditional, and that we. must raise the entire $50,000 or lose all the pledges. , At the rate we are now going we will get the entire amount, surely. But. there is some suspense connected with such a campaign, and I am willing to have it ended at any time by reaching the $50,000 mark a little ahead of June 21. Progress is being made with the campaign in Wayne county, outside of Richmond, but the work is moving a little more slowly than had been anticipatedThis delay is occasioned by the widely separated districts which must be visited, and by the lack of men and women to participate actively in the canvass. There were more places than there , were leaders, and owing to conditions elsewhere it was not possible to bring other field workers Into this county at this time.' The canvass is going ahead, however, and it win be thorough.

Pride of Uncle Sam's Navy Successfully Launched at Philadelphia in Presence of Big Crowd.
PRETTY GIRL NAMES GREAT SEA FIGHTER New Battleship Has Displacement of 26,000 Tons, 3,000 Tons More Than New English Dreadnaught. (National News Association) Philadelphia, May 25. Surpassed by none and equaled only by her own sister ship, which is not yet completed America's latest and greatest warship, the battleship Wyoming, was launched today at the yards of the Cramp Ship and Engine Building company at Kensington. There was no untoward inci dent to mar tho ceremonies, which were witnessed by a distinguished gathering of naval folk and official representatives of the state of Wyoming, in honor of -which commonwealth the powerful sea fighter is named. For the first time in many years that the Cramps have been building the big fighting machines for the Un ited States navy the general public was barred from attending the launch ing. No one was permitted to enter the yards without a card of admission. The enforcement of the new rule was due, according to the explanation of the company officials, to extraordinary conditions arising from the great size of the Wyoming. So huge is the mammoth hulk that it completely filled the great shed built over the cradle and rendered it impossible to build the customary stand about the prow for the accommodation of spectators. Provision was made only for the christening party and a few distinguished guests. Miss Knight Sponsor. The t christening party, ; headed by Miss Dorothy Eunice Knight, daughter of a former chief justice of the Wyoming supreme court and sponsor for the big battleship, took up their positions near the nose of the big ship. A few minutes later there was a rending sound and snap,, the weakened under beams gave way and as the Wyoming moved down the ways Miss Knight hurled the bottle of sparkling wine at the prow and exclaimed in a clear voice, "I christen thee Wyoming." The gigantic battleship , slid down the tallow-greased ways with the lightness of a frail lifeboat. As she righted herself far out in the stream and was taken in charge by several tugs the great crowd of spectators gave vent to its enthusiasm. To the cheers of the onlookers was added the deafening noise of hundreds of whistles from the factories and shops along "hore and many river craft. The battleship Wyoming is declared to have no equal afloat as a first-class fighting machine. She is of 26,000 tons displacement, or 3,320 tons greater than the British battleship Conqueror launched a few weeks ago. The displacement of the Wyoming is 5,000 tons greater than that of. the Delaware, which has been in commission less than a year, and nearly 15,000 tons greater than that of the Oregon which scarcely more than a decade ago was known as the "Bulldog of the Navy." i :- The armament of the Wyoming will consist of twelve 12-inch and twentytwo 5-inch guns and broadsides of twelve 12-inch and eleven 5-inch guns. The twelve 12-inch guns will be mounted in six turrets on the center line of the ship, two forward, two aft and two amidship. Each turret is to be protec ted by armor twelve inches and eight 'inches thick, and supplied with am munition by electrical hoists from the magazines and shellrooms below. The entire handling of the guns will be done by electric motors. For defense against torpedo boat attacks there will be provided a battery jof twenty-one 5-inch rapid fire guns. protected by armor of medium thickness. Close subdivision and strong bulkheads will form additional protection against damage likely to result from mine or torpedo explosions. The principal dimensions of the big battleship are aa follows: Length on load water line,, 554 feet; length over all, 562 feet; beam over armor, 93 feet 2 5-6 inches; trial draft, 28 feet, 6 inches; trial displacement. 26,000 tons; trial speed, 20 knots an hour. The main armor belt will be about eight feet wide and will have an averthickness of ten Inches. Above this is to be another armor belt of ten inches average thickness, and still higher amidships, is the asement armor protecting the secondary battery and funnel bases. At the ends of the main belt are transverse armor bulkheads. Each barbette is of armor varying from four inches to eleven inches in thickness, which protects the entire ammunition handling machinery for the 12-inch guns in the turret above. A strong protective deck extends all fore and aft. The Wyoming will be fitted for a flagship' and her complement as such j will consist of S3 officers and 1,030 j men. It is expected she will be ready for conimisfiion by. the end of the year.
There Has Been a Large Advance Sale Many Out of Town People Arrive Here to Attend It.
CHILDREN'S CHORUS TO BE BIG FEATURE Will Render "A Legend of Bregenz", Assisted by Mrs. Krueger and Mrs. Earhart Other Features. Tonight the Richmond May Musical Festival will open at the Coliseum and the large auditorium will be well filled as there has been a very satisfactory advance sale of seats. Music lovers from many towns in Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio arrived in the city today to attend the big event, and quite a number of these visitors will remain over Friday to attend the afternoon and evening concerts. The adult chorus of 250 voices, the children's chorus of 340 voices and the really remarkable symphony orchestra, composed entirely of Richmond musicians, have been trained and will be conducted by Prof. Will Earhart, supervisor of music in the Richmond public schools, who has attained a national reputation for the work he has undertaken and accomplished In this city. A List of Artists. The following artists are soloists for the three concerts: Luella ChilsonOhrman, soprano; Jessie Lynde Hopkins, contralto; John B. Miller, tenor; Leon Sampaix, pianist, and Aurele Borriss, barytone, and Mrs. F. W. Krueger, soprano, the latter two being Richmond people. V The feature of the , program this evening will be the cantata. "A Le gend of Bregenz," by BendalL- ltw41l be rendered with -Mrs, vmeer and Mrs-. Earh .rt ' la .iha..xa i .irt sa-;-ed"by the children's chorus. : The program also includes solos by Mr. Borriss and by Mrs. Krueger, and selections by the orchestra. The following is a sketch of the cantata, "A Legend of Bregenz" and its composer: "A Legend of Bregenz." Wilfred Bendall was born in London and studied music there, and later, in the Leipsic conservatory. In the large group of later English composers who are producing many meritorious and musicianly works, he has a worthy place, being the composer of many cantatas, operettas, part songs, pianoforte pieces, etc., which have met with great favor. The list of important, extended works, that are suitable for a chorus of children's voices is small indeed. The principal reason, doubtless, is that a work laid out on a scale sufficiently broad to place it in the list of important art works is in that fact likely to become too intense and too long to remain juvenile; and specifically, it is likely to suggest to the composer more sonority and power than can well be attained with children's voices. ; . The present work is one of the notable exceptions. ' While Intended for women's voices, it is, in fact, more effective with a chorus of children's voices and has been given in this manner in many important festivals. ' Story of Cantata. The story of the cantata, the -.text of which is by Adelaide A. Proctor, is of a maiden of Bregenz, who is toiling far from that home in the Swiss valleys. Learning of a plot on the part of the people among whom she is living, to capture Bregenz by a night attack, she steals away, secures the "strong white charger, and by a perilous nocturnal ride, which involves the crossing of the Rhine, she arrives at Bregenz in time to give warning by which the city is saved. The verses proceed effectively, by way of epilogue, to narrate that though "three hundred years are vanished, the warder of Bregenz still, as he cries the night hours, halts at the count of twelve and "When midnight pauses In the skies Calls the maiden's name." The work is for three-part chorus, with soprano and alto solos. The piano accompaniment of the composer has been orchestrated later by other writers. It comprises a prologue; for chorus, in which the scene Is sketched; ; the Legend forming - the greater part of tbe work, which begins with a soprano solo. "Far from Her Home and kindred." and proceeds through a number of effectively written sections notable among which is a duet for tbe solo voices,- until the stirring choral climax, "Bregenz is Saved," is reached and the epilogue, for chorus, which has already been described.

A Prominent Indiana Man, America's Foremost Diplomat, Lauds the New American-British Pact,
HE CALLS GERMANY THE WORLD MENACE Ultimately, However, He Expects the Kaiser to Reduce Armaments Gives Roosevelt a Sharp Rap. (National News Asjoclatlon) 1 Lake Mohonk, N.. Y., May 25. Hon. John W. Foster, of Indiana, former secretary of state, traced the history of . arbitration between England and the United States at today's meeting of the Lake Mohonk Peace Conference, pointing out that the past twenty years had seen a growing demand for assurance that all questions between taem should be settled peaceably. Speaking of the Anglo-American treaty of arbitration now being negotiated, Mr. Foster declared that opposition to it in the senate ought not to be entertained as a serious possibility. The treaty, he said, would place the two governments on the same footing as each of them has placed its citizens and would result in similar treaties between other naUons. It was plain, he added, that It would have no appreciable effect on the : armaments of the world and that at present Germany can hardly be expected to become a party to a like treaty. Nevertheless, "as unlimitel arbitration is extended among the nations its beneficial effects must become more and more apparent, and even the German government must eventually find a modus Vivendi with the peaceful nations, which will enable it to restrict Its armament and cea?e to be a men a;-v -t.-:rv Tvor! I ' J . . Incidentally Mr, Foster took , oc. casion to reply sharply to the recent public utterance of ex-President Roosevelt, whom he declared to have, been erratic and inconsistent in hia attitude toward international arbitration. In part, Mr, Foster said: "Our honored ; chief magistrate. President Taft, a year ago made public expression of his belief that such a treaty was not only practiceable but desirable, and . by repeated public declarations he has expressed hia. readiness to enter into such a treaty with Great Britain. His sentiments have been promptly re-echoed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of that country by unequivocal statements in Parliament, and also heartily indorsed by the leader of the Opposition party." , It is understood that the treaty baa been drafted by the secretary of state, has been approved by the President, and has been submitted to the British Ambassador for the action of his government. It is confidentially expected that an agreement will soon be reached, and this , epoch-producing instru ment be laid before the senate for lta approval. That the consent of this branch of the treaty-making power of the government will be obtained ought not to be seriously doubted, although it is a long step in advance of any action as to arbitration yet taken by any great Power." "The effect of tbe treaty will be to place the two nations as governments on the same footing as each of them has placed its own citizens. All differences between them, which cannot be adjusted by mutual agreement must be submitted to an impartial tribunal. "Already the President and Secretary of State have appreciated the effect of the British treaty ; by welcoming the applicaUon of our ancient ally, France, for a smaller treaty, which it is hoped will likewise be submitted to the senate. - The other nations may well Inquire whether a treaty which abolishes war between the United States and two powerful and populous nations, with great commerce and intricate relations, may not be practicable and advisable between them and their neighbors. DoubUess if these treaties are approved by the senate and go Into operation, they will soon be followed by similar treaties oetween the United States and other NaUons. both great and ', small, and between other nations among themselves. Mr. Balfour, well said, in his speech at the great Guildhall meeting that the treaty with Great Britain "will be the begin(Continued on Page Eight) Pallsdirca's Tctal Dally Average ClreckUsa (Except' Saturday) Including Complimentary Ltfta. for Week Ending May 20, 1911. 5tSIl7 Qty CircsteSoi thawing; net paid, news stands and regular complimentary list does not lncluds sample copies.
