TWO ARBITRATION PACTS ARE SIGHED
United States Signs Agreements with Great Britain and France Today. (National Kewi Association) WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.ifllxlng of official signatures to genera! arbitration treaties between tho United States and Prance today marked a great step forward in international relations as a personal triumph for President Taft who for many months has advocated this step to bring about more peaceful relations between the world's powers. Pa'ris and Washington were the places where this advanced step for the peace of nations were taken. Germany and Japan have also been approached diplomatically nnd It is probably that, within a few months, those governments will take favorable action on the same issue.
Jusserand Signs First. The first signature attached today was that of Ambassador Juenerand in Paris, several hours before the British 'treaty was signed by Secretary of 'State Knox and British ambassador Brice at the White House. At the same time Secretary Knox also signed the American copy of the ; French treaty. Ambassdor Bryce came here from Seal Harbor, Me., today so- ' lely for the purpose of appending his signature to the two coplea of the British treaty in the presence of President 'Taft in the historic blue room of the White House. It it President Taft's intention to ; send the treaties to the senate for ratification at this session. It is now imI probable that they wjll be submitted jto the senate tomorrow. Treaties Inception. The arbitration treaties had their inception in a casual utterance of Pres
ident Taft at a dinner of the American society for judicial settlement of I international disputes, In this city last
December. The president declared that he. saw no reason why tradition should not be preserved; that questions affecting the vital Interest and honor of nations could not be arbitrated and in his opinion these questions were as ausceptible of arbitration as any other International issues. The French ambassador, M. Jusserand, at once offered on behalf of his government to enter into such treaty relations.
The suggestion was followed by eight months of negottotions. The British government was also quick to ralize the advantage to be gained by an international agreement, which I If extended to nations other than the ! United States would tend toward limitation of armament and world wide , peace. As la the diplomatic custom the 'text of the treaties will not be made known until the senate ratifies them. Their general terms are known, however. The two treaties are different , from previous arbitration pacta because they remove the exceptions contained in all former treaties, that (questions of vital interest and of national honor shall not be subject to arbitration.

EXPECT MAGEE TO MAKE AN APOLOGY
(National News Association! CHICAGO, Aug. 3 Although the directors of the National League refused to reinstate Sherwood Magee, Philadelphia outfielder, over the head .of President Lynch, it is likely Magee will return to the team in a few days. It was reported in Chicago today that an abject apology to Umpire Finneran, whom Magee struck during an argument would entitle him to play again.
CLOTHING INSURANCE FOR WOMEN. Sounds rather sensational, but let ,us explain. Washable clothing is com- . posed of linen, cotton and wool, and these fabrics are torn to pieces by the I alkalies and caustics which are the i main comnonent nart of most of the
yellow rosin soaps on the market. If you use a true, honest soap which processes the right cleansing and antiseptic properties, you insure the life of the fabrics.

NEGRO'S EVIDENCE
WAS UNSUPPORTED
Conflicting stories told by the pros
ecuting witness, Everett Davis, an eighteen-year-old negro employed by
the Peter Johnson company and the
defendent Val Young, connected with
the Richmond Feed store caused May
or Zimmerman to dismiss the charge of assault and battery against Young,
in police court this morning. Davis al
leged that Young had called him vile names on a number of occasions because a bill for feed had been misplac
ed and that Young jumped on the wag
on driven by Davis Monday and hit
the latter. Young denied hitting the negro but said that he had said that
if the 'coon' didn't cut out making
remarks about me that I would beat the life out of him."
Here is a list of questions the Richmond consumers would like to have answered at the water works meeting tonight: What do you consider Is the physical value of the plant? On what basis is it 'figured? Why did not the Water Works company make out a new contract instead
of amending the present contract?
If the. city signs the proposed ordinance, will the city assign away its rights to free water and the right to renew a contract on equally as good terms, which was given the city in the original ordinance, page 536? Under present conditions, if the proposed profit sharing plan was in force, what proportion of the earnings would the city get. figuring on the basis of the proposed contract? Do you expect to have to secure a new water supply before the expira
tion of the next contract? Under the profit sharing plan do you consider that the Company has the right to raise the rates at any
Ltime?
Under the proposed contract does the, city, guarantee the company six per cent on the net valuation of the plant? , What proportion of the net valuation represents cash investment? Why was the expression "going concern" inserted on page 14 of the proposed contract and is not in the present one? Is there a doubt about the city having to pay for the plant as a going concern under the right of purchase clause in the present contract? Why wa3 a clause inserted in the proposed contract, Section 15, that "nothing shall limit or affect the rights of the present company?" Why does the company want section 31 and its amendment repealed
and asks the city to continue all its rights and privileges? In section 9 of the new contract it states that the "City shall pay $50.00 for every hydrant that is placed on an extension and continue to pay as long as the hydrant is on that extension.
Does that mean tnat tne city enters
into a contract forever instead of twenty five years? What about reasonable rules and regulations for tapping of the mains, why does the company want this power placed in the hands of the company instead of the city. Does this clause give the company the right to discriminate? Why does the company want all meters, pipes and service lines to be their property after the consumer has
ARGUMEI1TJS MADE On Demurrer Filed in Burbank Will Case.
CLOSE LAYS TROUBLE
TO MOTHER-IN-LAW
Declaring it is not his wife, but her parents who are responsible, Charles
Close of Cambridge City, who was ar
rested on a fraudulent marriage charge
on Wednesday, stated he would pro
vide and live with his wife if she would
live with him and separate from her parents. Hazel Close, the wife, complains that her husband married her on April 5, 1911, to avoid prosecution on a serious charge in the squire's court at Cambridge City. She says he has wilfully abandoned her and failed to provide. Close denied this, saying he had paid the expenses incident to her illness upon the birth of the child and declared he had purchased her clothes. He wag released on $300 bond furnished by Simeon Crockett of Cambridge City.
paid for them? Do lead service pipes often need repair. What is their life and what proportion of the services are of lead at the present time? Is there any room for a doubt as to the meaning of the expression "unavoidable accident or causes beyond its control?" Why should the company have the option of placing matters? If the company asks for a continu
ance of their rights to use the streets j
of Richmond, why should they ask to have the city's right to free water annulled? Why is there no provision for the city to test the meters? Why are the rates made on a basis of cubic feet instead of gallons? What is the test provided for as to water pressure? Would the service at a fire be con
sidered a test? Does the proposed contract specify that a test shall be made with only
two lines off of any six in. main and then only through 100 feet of hose. Do you consider the fire pressure requirements of the proposed contract to be sufficient for the next twenty five years. Does the company, and has the company at ,all times lived up to their present contract? Under the new contract, in case the city orders an extension and locates a hydrant, afterward there is a revenue from that line amounting to over $50.00, will the company discontinue the hydrant rental? What is the Capital stock of the Company? What is the bonded indebtedness? Are there any other outstanding obligations? What dividends have been paid the
stockholders in cash and how much in stock? Do you consider that the City will get anything from the proposed profit sharing plan? How many private consumers has the Company? What is their average water bill under the present contract? Under the new contract? Under the proposed contract must the city enforce the sprinkling ordi
nance before the requirements for Are pressure become binding on the com
pany?
Did the company intend to repeal
the right of purchase and the free wa
ter clause, which is section 6 of the
amended ordinance. Why was this sec
tion not named along with Sections
4, S and 9?
GUNSUUA STARTS
ON TEN YEAR TERM
Argument to the demurrer of the defense in the case of Nora Kibbey and others against J? A. Spekenhier, executor of the last will of the late Gov. John A. Burbank and others, was heard in the circuit court on Thursday T. J. Study representing the complainant and Wilfred Jessup the trus
tees of the Mary E. Burbank memorial The demurrer was to the effect
that sufficient facts were not stated in the complaint to constitute the action. The complainants alleged that item 8 of the last will of the decedent is faulty and they desire that instead of the beautiful residence property at 1120 Main street being sold when it reaches a value of $25,000 that it be told now and the proceeds divided among the heirs. The heirs doubt whether the property ever will be of the value stated. It was the deceased's in
tention that In event of sale of the pro
perty at this figure, the ' proceeds should be set aside for the erection of
memorial to his mother in Center-
ville for the benefit of the residents of
that town and Center township. Inasmuch as no time is fixed by which time
the property shall be sold, it is claimed
by the counsel for the heirs this item of the will is invalid because it is re
pugnant to the statue of perpetuities.

"All of this trouble has been caused by a neighbor woman by the name of Mathews, wno would have the public believe that I"m a drunken wife beater," said Fred Kofski in police court this morning when arraigned on the charge of drunk. He declared that he had not struck his wife as had been alleged. The police say that Mrs. Kof
ski had telephoned them on various occasions during the last few months
saying that her husband was beating her. This Mrs. Kofski denies. The case was set for hearing yesterday but was postponed until this morning. Kofski was fined $1.

house, Wierhake said, Kofski rushed

Let the Guinea Pig Mew the Lawn. It you have a lawn or a grass plot or even a tiny back yard In which you take sufficient pride to resent the appearance of obnoxious weeds get a guinea pig. The guinea pig is said to be an excellent weed killer and a lawn mower as well. Turn the guinea pig or a half dozen of them loose on the lawn. The animals at once attack all the worst weeds. These broad leaved plants, which mowing machines will not touch, are killed by the persistent cutting of the guinea pigs teeth. When they have finished the weeds they proceed to the grass. In a very short time the lawn looks as if It had been cut by the very closest machine. No harm Is done to the eraes. New York World.
