INDONSE EFFORTS FOR WORLD PEACE Delegates at Baltimore Commend Adminirtration.-Propose Lea gue of Nations. Baltimore, May 5.-Resolutions crystalizing the sentiments which have inspired the sessions of the third peace c.,ngress, and marking the de velopment (A th.. peace movement thrcughout the country were adopted by the delegates to the congress to day. They contain a hearty indorse ment of the fi-deral administration for Its efforts in behalf of world-wide peace through the treaty of arbitra tion with Great Britain and for the establishment of the international prize court and of the international court of arbitral justice. The sugges tion made yesterday by James Speyer, the New York banker, that nations should prevent, as far as possible, loans being raised by their subjects or citizens in order to enable foreign Aations to carry on wars, is favored, and the United States government is requested to include this matter in the proposed programme of the third Hague conference. Ths resolution was submitted by Isaac N. Seligman, another leading banker of New York city. Favor Peace League. The resolutions were for the gov ernment to enter upfu negotiations with powers looking toward the for mation of a league of peace planned similarly to settle by amicable means all questions which may arise be tween the contracting powers. A general arbitration treaty on the lines of the proposed treaty with Great Britain is favored, as is also a continuous study of armaments by official commissions of the govern ments interested. The proposed celebration of 100 years of peace between the tnglish speaking nations is approved. An other resolution asks that congress pass such acts as will make the gov ernment hold -each State responsible for any outrage committed upon the person or property of foreign subjects with the State. The gratitude of the congress is expressed to Andrew Car negie and Edwin Ginn 'of Boston for~ their munificent contributi.ons to the cause of peace. Under the name 'of the American Peace oongress the present body be comes a permanent institution, meet ing once in two years. Clark's Sentiments. Speaker Champ Clark of 'the nation al house of representatives, in pre siding as toastmaster at the banquet' of the conference lent 'his counsel for world-wide peace. Mr. Clark said: "It may be apropos for me to state that my voice is not for war 'but for peace-peace consist ent 'with national 'honor 'and with na tional safety. "Good men and good women hail the pelace movement as a harbinger not of 'the millenium, but for a better state of affairs than has existed on earth at any time since Cain slew Abel. "We should lead resolutely and constantly in this movement. There is every reason why we should do so. With friendship for all nations and 'entangling alliances with none, with no desire to over-reach or encroach upon any nation, we can with' no sel fish motive, but with a sincere desire to promote the happiness and welfare of the whole human race, lead in this glorious undertaking." Dr. Mitchell Points the Way. Baltimor.e, May '5.--Speaking before the National Peace society meeting here, Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of the University of South Carofina, to day pointed out America's unexcelled opportunity as a factor making for world peace. Dr. Mitchell said that this country is singled out to be a leader in the movement for an inter national court of arbitral justice, which shall settle all disputes which appeal to the sword. He drew a parallel between the su preme court, settling as it does the disputes of the 46 separate States of the Union, and the proposed tribunal for the 46 nations of the world, which now are striving blindly toward the ideal of world-peace. He spoke of Edward Everett Hal-e's "consciousness of the moral mission of our country." Thinkers of other lands he declar ed, likewise recognize the manifest destiny of America and look to this country to lead in the movement for peace. IWEDAL lIS PRESENTiED - O ANDRhEW (C(NEIE In HIonorimr Iron Master For P'eace jLabors. Washing:on, May 5.-Andrew Car negie today received what he called his greate.: mark of honor, when 21 N American republics bestowed upon 1A .im a gold medal bearing on one side the words, "l.enefactor of Humanity," -and the other, "The American Re- ; publics to Andrew Carnegie." p According to John Barrett, director s general of the Pan-American union, c it was the first time in history that a such a tribute from so many nations n had been paid to an individual. d Senor de Zamacona, the Mexican t ambassador, made the speech of pre- e sentation. Secretary of State Knox presided, and President Taft spoke in eulogy of the gifts which Mr. Carnegie had made for the cause of peace. - The ceremonies were held in the s Pan-American union building, for the erection of which Mr. Carnegie gave almost $1,000,000. F In accepting the medal, ir. Ca: negie told of his feelings on being in- s formed of the honor conferred upon n him by the Par-American conference I at Buenos Ayres. Mr. Carnegie announced he would a give $100,000 in addition to nearly k $1,000,000 already donated toward ir the ereotion of Pan-American union a building to be used for the artistic I completion of its extensive grounds. o In offering thanks to the nations,lp through their diplomats present, for at the honor bestowed upon him, he ask- t ed them to accopipany the expression, t with the ardent wish on his part that prompt action be taken by the 21 re- o publics to establish a reign of peace by adopting President Taft's policy of submitting all disputes to arbitration. . NEW JOB FOR J. W. CANFIELD Major Kerr's Opponent Appointed v Auditor for Greenwood. p S Columbia, May 4.-J. W. Canfield is c the new auditor for Greenwood coun- a ty. Governor Blease late today named n Canfield for the position, after receiv- d ing a statement from Canfield that he t would accept. Canfield succeeds the e late James D. Watson, notice of whose death appeared in today's papers. Mr. Canfield will serve until February 17, 1913, as the commrission of Mr. Wat- - son was issued February 17, 1911, for1 F the succeeding two years. James D. Watson received his first appointment as auditor December 28, 1906, and was commissioned Decem ber 31 of that year. He was appoint- r ed again in February, 1909, and was commissioned February 20, 1909. He ti was reappointed February 17 of this year, and it is for the unexpired termA that Mr. Canfield was named this af ternoon by the governor. Behind the simpl3e a.nnoncement of the appointment of J. W. Canfield -is a highly interesting story. First of1 all, Canlfield wil.1 have to resign as ti magistrate, to which position he was appointed by Governor Bieiase, whose t action occasioned a legal battle. It' was J. W. Canfield and Major W. H. Kerr who opposed one another for the magistrate's job in Greenwood, Major Keit refusing to turn over the officeb to the man named by Governor Blease Governor Blease on March 21 in-' formed Major Kerr that, "I have al-d ready advised you that your commis sion has been revoked, and while I had hoped that you would gracefully retire, I now repeat to you that you~ are hereby removed from the office of C magistrate for -neglect of duty." The governor then directed Major Kerr to turn over the affairs of the office to S Mr. J. W. Canfield. This Major Kerr s refused to do, on the ground that thet appointment of Mr. Canfield had not been made "by and with the advice and consent of the senate." A legal arguimne.t in f all was advanced by Ma-1 jor Kerr in a letter to the governor. The latest development in the case I was the order by Judge Watts, on April 21, refusing to require Major Kerr to -resign. The titlie 'to the office was not decided by Judge Watts in the order, therefore, both men are holding on. With the appointment of Mr. Canfield as auditor the magister ial situation is relieved, becauseM. Canfield will resign 'his commission and assume the duties of auditor for Greenwood county.lae No sooner had the death of the lt audikor been annour.eed than 0-over nor Blease received telephonic mes-I: sages from Gr. enwood about the ap pontmenut of a successor. Among others suggested was the son of the late auditor of the county. GovernorK Blease withheld his decision in the! matter until this afternoon, deeming it best to wait for a day or so. nToday Governor Blease received iconversation with Mr. Canfieldth latter's assurance that he will serve as auditor and be glad to do so.
