Great Good Has Grown Cut of
Secretary Root's Visit to
South American
. Countries
New York, April 17.—The National
Arbitration and Peace Congress to-
day adopted Its platform or resolu-
tions, recommending among other
things that The Hague conference
shall hereafter be a permanent insti-
tution; that The Hague court shall he
open to all the nations of the world;
that a general treaty of arbitration for
ratification by all the nations shall be
drafted by the coming conference pro-
viding for the reference to The Hague
court of international disputes which
cannot be adjusted by diplomacy; |
anil the United States government
urge upon the conference action look-
ing to the limitation of armament;
that the conference extend to private
property at sea, immunity from cap-
ture in war. The resolutions speak
highly in praise of President Roose-
velt, Secretary Root and the prime
minister of Great Britain for the
stand th> v have taken in favor of a
settled policy of peace among the na-
tions.
New York, April 17.—John Barrett,
formerly minister to Colombia, spoke
at the meeting at the Hotel A«-tor yes-
terday afternoon when the "commer-
cial and Industrial aspects of the
peace movement" were considered.
Mr. Barrett said that the bearing
of the international conference of the
American republics on the peace and
good relations of the countries of the
western hemisphere could not be over
estimated. The three conferences
that have been held during the last
fifteen years had been notable suc-
cesses and had accomplished far more
than is commonly supposed. "It is,
moreover, safe to say," said he, "that
they have acted as a deterring In-
fluence not only on wars between Am-
erican nations, but revolutions wlth-
fn the limits of different countries."
Mr. Barrett said that the United
States had never fully appreciated the
vast Importance and signal success of
the vi it to South America of Secre-
tary "f State Root. "It is beginning
now." said he, "after nearly a year
has passed, to realize that no other
secretary of state in the history of the
Unit'd States hai accomplished so
much tor the promotion of Interna-
tional friendship lis has Mr. Root in
this extraordinary tour. He did more
for the removal of distrust of the pol-
icies -if the United States throughout
South America and for the upbuilding
of mutual confidence and good will i
than the work of a hundred years of J
ordinary diplomatic prcedure and In-
tercourse
Mr. Barrett said that the benefit, of
Secretary Roots' trip "will grow with
the passing of years and result In that
perfect International American comity
which shou'd permanently character-
ize tin relations of all the1 nations of
the western hemisphere."
Five thousand young people re-
spond t" the invitation to a "young
people's meeting" at Carnegie Ilall
In ih" afternoon.
Prof. Henry Turner Bailey, agent
of the state board of education for the
promotion of Industrial drawing of
mass spoke on the "peace movement
and the arts."
Senorlta Huidobro spoke on the
topic "The Christ of the Andes."
Senorlta Huidobro told of the erec-
tion in 1904 on the highest pinnacle
of the Andes by the people of ('hill
and Arg< ntlna of a statue of Christ
as a monument of peace between the
two n publics, "('hill and Argentina,"
said the speaker, "have not only cre-
ated a symbol, they have Inculcated
Into the minds of men for nil ages an
Idea of greater significance than any
•other In our contemporary age."
Senorlta Huidobro continued:
"The statue had not been standing
one \ e;ir when Brazil and Bolivia
settled the long standing dispute over
ti' rights of the Acfl territory—Bra-
zil giving back to Bolivia the whole of
the territory together with $10,000,-
000 which Bolivia Is spending In rall-
rond- «'hill also made up with Bo-

St. Paul, Minn., April 17.—A bandit
held up the Northern Pacific Express
compa:.y's union depo- ofnee last nirht
and compelled the clerk to open "the
safe and give him a package contain-
ing $25,000. He escaped.
At 10:30 last night an accomplice
of the robber called at the office and
Induced one of the clerks to step out-
side. Fred Zimmerman, the other
clerk, soon afterward found himself
confronted by a masked robber who
pointed a pistol at his head.
Zimmerman obeyed a command to
hold up his hands. The robber then
removed a revolver from one of Zim-
merman's pockets, and commanded
him to open the safe. The clerk
obeyed without hesitation and handed
out the package of currency which
was to go to Duluth on a midnight
train. After receiving the bulky en-
velope the robber backed out of the
office, after commanding Zimmerman
to turn his face to the wall and to re-
main in that position for ten minutes
under penalty of death. Both bandits
have escaped.
The money package was consigned
to the Cloquet Lumber Company at
Cloquet, Minn., by one of the St. Paul
banks.
St. Paul, April 17.—The police today
arrested John Ounderson on the
charge of having held up Fred Zim-
merman, the clerk In the Northern
Express company's offiflce last night
and robbed the office safe of a pack-
ago containing $25,000 The police
say Gunderson has not confessed.
They would not say whether ti"
money had been recovered, but •
clared they were sure they had the
right mun.
St. Paul. April 17.—When Gunder-
son was taken to the police station he
appeared to be under the Influence of
liquor and said he knew nothing about
the robbery. Upon the police suggest-
ing that they would let him go without
prosecution If he would tell where he
had hidden the money, Gunderson
said he could not remember what he
had done with It. Gunderson claimed
he had been drinking and did not re-
member what had happened during
the night. Gunderson had been em-
ployed by the Northern Pacific Ex-
press Company and was recently dis-
charged. He Is said to have been fa-
miliar with the details of the office
and knew that a package containing
$25,000 was going to Duluth on the
night train. Zimmerman, the clerk In
charge of the office, says Gunderson
came to the office about 9 o'clook and
as he had been employed there he
thought nothing of his hanging around
there.
Gunderson was In a very jovial
mood. He remained there until every
one but Zimmerman and a porter had
left and then Gunderson gave the por-
ter some money and told him to get a
bottle of whisky. As soon as the por-
ter disappeared Gunderson covered
Zimmerman with a revolver and called
to him to open the safe and hand out
the package. Zimmerman said he saw
that Gunderson was in earnest and
complied with his request Gunderson
then backod out of the office
Zimmerman says that he notified the |
police as soon as lie was sure Gunder-
son hod departed.

Cardinal Gibbons Arrive".
N w Drleans, April 17.—Cardinal
Gibbon-, who has been selects oy the
p i t" ■ r the Pallium upon
A: hblfchoji B'Onk of New Orleans,
April .4, arrived today, lie will rc-
tln here ten days or more before ru-
ng to Baltimore, ' ig
draft legislation of the National o-
clatlon and recommended th;• t It be
modified. This suggestion \vii< ac-
cepted graciously by the national
board and an effort was made at a
meeting in Buffalo to patch up an
agreement between the two leagues
disputing over the Topeka territory.
When that failed It wes presumptu-
ous In the Western h ague to appeal
again to the national eominission,
which already had gone as far as
propriety would permit.
"The position of the Western league
was weak and untenable before the
New York meeting, and was made so
by the failure of O'Neill to comply
with the simple requirements of the
constitution governing the National
association. The only standing he se-
cured was vshen the Western associa-
tion consented to a conference. The
position of the Western league is made
more amusing by the fact that the
records of the national association
show that the vote on the territorial
draft 1 egislatlon was unanimous.
O'Neill's vote, therefore, helped to
make the law he now complains of so
bitterly."
