When Considered by South American Conference. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—In. giving His» approval to the program for the fifth Pan-American conference to be held in Oantiago de Chile next year. Secretary of State Bryan has opened the way for the discussion of a vital principle affecting the rights of Amer icans in Batin America which the smaller countries of this hemisphere have for a generation urged the Unit ed States Government to abandon. Of eleven topics for discussion at the conference, all but the last on the program are entirely Innocuous and within the usual strict precautions taken to prevent the raising of em barrassing questions at Pan-Ameri can meetings. The last number, however, agreed to by Mr. Bryan as chairman of the program committee is a topic which has never before been permitted to come before the Pan-American con ferences and one which former mem bers of the conference regard as charged with dynami c so far as the Interests of the United States is con cerned. Here’s the Dynamite. The eleventh topic for discussion is: “Declaration as a principle of American policy that aliens do not enjoy other civil rights or other re courses than those guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of each coun try to the citizens thereof.” International lawyers of experience In Latin American affairs regard this proposal as revolutionary in so far as it seems to have the assent of the present Administration through Sec retary Bryan’s having acquiesced in Its appearance on the program. It is regarded as nothing less than an attempt upon the part of certain of the smaller and less stable coun tries to draw the United States into an agreement to curtail its right to intervene diplomatically on behalf of an American citizen in any of those countries. Taboo for 40 Year#. For 40 years efforts have been made from time to time to induce the United States to accept the proposed principle either by actual incorpo ration In a treaty or by giving full recognition to statutes to the same ef fect enacted In those countries. T v r o "ghout the entire period every Secretary cl £'..r f e has flatly refused to yield any such limitation on the right of American citizens t appeal to their Government when in difficul ty in a Batin-American country. There is reason to believe that Mr. Bryan accepted the proposal at its face value and in perfect good faith without acquainting himself with the traditional attitude of his Govern ment toward such a principle. Ho seems to regard the principle laid down as in accordance with United States policy. Had he looked in the work of John Bassett Moore, counselor for the State Department, he would have found tn the “Digest of International Law" many declarations of the determined opnosition of the United States to proposals depriving American citi zens of the right of appeal to the Washington Government from deci sions of Batin-American courts or authorities. Secretar. Blaine’s * iew. Secretary* Blaine in discussing the treaty clause proposed by Ecuador, to the effect that an American tak ing part in international questions should be treated, tried and con demned as a citizen of Ecuador and should not appeal to his home gov ernment, said: “The general principle which main tains is that the judgment of the courts of a country can not be ac cepted as finally* determining its in ternational duties and liabilities. Once admit that they are to be so accepted, each nation is left to fix the standard of Its own conduct and the measure of its obligations.” LOVING CUP FOR SLATON. The Chi Phi Fraternity, its long and illustrious history*, and the achievements of its many distinguish ed members were praised in oratory' and song at the eleventh annual din ner of the Fraternity Alumni Asso ciation in the Georgian Terrace Sat urday night. Governor Slaton, one of the guests of honor and an alumni member, and Dr Phinizy Calhoun, the president of the association, were in turn sur prised by the presentation to them of silver loving cups. The Eta Chap ter, of the University of Georgia, and the Atlanta alumni were the donors of both. “Bob” McWhorter made the pres entation speech in giving the cup to Governor Slaton, and the Governor retaliated by bestowing the other cup upon Dr. Calhoun. TO NEGOTIATE, NOT “BUST.” NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Vice Presi dent N. C. Kingsbury', of the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph Com pany, who conducted negotiations with the Government for the settle ment of the telephone-telegraph com bination, believes President Wilson has now revealed his policy of deal ing with the large corporations. The pc llcy Is to be one of negotiation. • * I * it II, iii * NEW YORK. Dec. 20.—The ghost of Dorothy Arnold, beautiful young settlement worker, who disappeared three years ago this month, as if the earth swallowed her, has returned to terrify the parents of Jessie McCann, also a settlement worker, who has been missing from her home now for more than two weeks. In every detail the two mysteries are identical. Both women were young, pretty, intelligently interested in sociological w*ork, and both cher ished a secret romance aside from their work. Jessie McCann disappeared Decem ber 4. Since that time her father, Dr. Montessori Seeks Rest in Battle Creek BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Dec. 20. Mme. Montessori, famous Italian ed ucator, arrived here this evening somewhat exhausted from her Ameri can tour, and w*ent into temporary se clusion at the Battle Creek Sanita rium. She will be the guest of Dr. J. H. Kellogg here for the next few* days. Mme. Montessori is not ill, but is badly* in need of rest. CAN RAISE BEEF HERE. According ot Dr. Peter F. Bahsen, State Veterinarian, in charge of tick eradication work for the State De partment of Agriculture, the interest in raising high-grade beef* stock for the market is increasing steadily in those counties which are free from cattle tick. , “Newton County* w*as released from the cattle tick quarantine in Septem ber of this year,” said Dr. Bahsen, d“an immediately after the ban was lifted the live stock owners in that county bought a carload of registered Hereford cattle for breeding purposes. These will be distributed and soon fine beeves will be shipped into the markets from that county, command ing top prices. “With high-grade beef stock being brought into Georgia for breeding purposes and with Georgia producing annually thousands of tons of cot ton seed meal and hulls, accepted is the most fattening and least expen sive form of cattle feed, there is no reason why Georgia should not soon produce more beef than this State can use.” her brothers, her friends, a corps of policemen and private detectives have sought her in New* York, in every suburb, in outlying towns as far as Philadelphia. As Dorothy Arnold last was seen in Philadelphia, three years ago, so the last word of Jessie Mc Cann came from Philadelphia. Robert G. McCann, the girl’s de voted father, has grimly announced his belief in the fatal omen which has linked the stories of his daughter and Dorothy Arnold. He is certain, even though he searches frantically, that the girl has been killed. He enter tains the slight hope that she is being held by someone who prevents her communication with him.
