LD MAKE
PRIZE COURT FINAL
Proposal to Extend Power of
Permanent Tribunal Sub
mitted to Nations.
BODY OF' 15 IS SUGGESTED
Jelay Would Be Obviated, Secretary
Say, In Statement, and Metliod
of Settling Iiputes Ieisee
fully He Provided.
WASmXGTOX. Jan. 5. "With a view of
making international arbitration Judicial
in fnct as well as in theory. Secretary
Knox has addressed a circular note to
the powers, proposing that the jurisdic
tion of the international prize court, au
ihorlzed in 1907, by The Hague Peace
conference, be extended so as to make it
a court of arbitratiowal Justice.
Thi note was dated October IS, 19ij8.
No responses have been received. A
statement explaining the contents of the
note and reasons why th proposal was
mad was given out tonight by Secretary
' Knox.
The international prize court was to be
composed of 15 judges'. eight to be
chosen from the larger maritime coun
tries. Germany, Austria-Hungary, France,
' Great 'Krltain, Italy, Japan and the Uni
ted Stales, to serve six years. . Other
judges were to be chosen from other na
tions and were to sit for a longer or
vhontor period as determined by the
miuMtlme standing of their respective
countries. Permanent Court Afforded.
In his statement Secretary Knox
says:
"The advantage of investing the
prize court with the functions of a
court - of arbitral justice needs no
argument, because it is ffbviously
easier to utilize an existing body than
to create a new institution, and, as
the judges of the prize court must
necessarily be versed In international
. law, they could well be entrusted with
any question susceptible or arbitra
tion. The proposition has the very
great advantage of providing the na
tions with a permanent court of arbi
tration for the peaceful settlement of
controversies in time of peace, where
as the prize court, as such, pre-sup-poses
a state of war, for without war
the capture of property Is Illegal.
"Utilizing the method of composition
of the prize court, by thus Investing
it with the jurisdiction and functions
of a court of arbitral Justice would
constitute tins latter a tribunal, and
. the world would thus have for the
states freely consenting to and ac
cepting the proposition one interna
tional judiciary to Judge cases arising
In peace as well as controversies
springing from war. The court would
thus be permanently constituted and
would in reality be permanent; ob
viating the delay Involved in the cre
ation of a temporary tribunal and de
veloping Internatlon law by a series
of carefully considered precedents by
judges carefully chosen and acting un
der a sense of Judicial responsibility.
Method Would He Equitable.
"Arliitratlon would not merely be, as
both Tlie Hague conferences have said,
the most efficacious and most equitable
method of settling disputes which
diplomacy has failed to adjust, but
would be Judicial in fact as well as In
theory."
Secretary Knox proposed that the
nations confronted with constitutional
objections in the matter of direct ap
peal from their national courts to the
prize court might present Instead of
the Judgment of their national courts,
the ouestion involved In the capture at
issue; that the proceedings in such a
case should be in tlie nature of a re
trial de novo, and that tlie judgment
or the international prize court should
be limited to the award of damages
for Illegal capture.
As constituted by The Hague confer
ence, the prize court was to be a
court of appeals, either from the origi
nal national court in which the case
was tried, or from the judgment of its
uppellate court.
I'n I tod States Has Paid.
"The United States has not submitted
judgment of its court to international
tribunals." explained Secretary Knox, al
though it has frequently presented ques
tions involved in its courts to mixed com
missions, and has promptly paid the
awards when the decision of the mixed
commission has taxed the United States
with liability not found by its National
Court. Appeal from a court of the
United States might raise a delicate and
difficult question of constitutional law
and rentier dliffeult. if not impossible,
the ratification of the prize court bv the
United States.
"The difficulty is one of form rather
than substance, for, whether the prin
ciple involved in the judgment be de
cided or the judgment of a national court
be subniltttcd, tlie result will be the
same, namely, a decision upon the legal
ity of tlie capture.

crats: Paynter, Kentucky, and either
Clarke, of Arkansas, or Hughes, of Colo
rado. The probable members of the
House who will serve are: Ialzell, Penn
sylvania; McCall, Massachusetts; Steph
ens, Minnesota : Martin, South Dakota
(Republicans; Howard, Georgia; Moon,
Tenneese, or Shirley, Kentucky (Demo
crats). There is said to be some doubt of the
appointment of Senator Flint, of Cali
fornia, but it Is reasonably certain that
the other Republicans mentioned will be
named and will serve. The resolution in
the House today was referred to the
committee on rules, but the Senate post
poned action, upon request of Senator
Lodge, who pleaded its importance as a
reason for deliberation. Senator Jones,
its author, had requested that it be re
ferred to the committee on public lands.
Action will be taken tomorrow.
Public Service Defended.
Senator Jones, in offering his resolu
tion, declared that it was a "sad com
mentary upon th state of public opin
ion" that the moment a man accepted a
public office he became a scoundrel in
the eyes of many. His acts were mis
construed and his motives questioned.
"Insinuations and innuendos," declared
the Senator, "are freely made under the
STuise of public welfare, but in reality to
foster some private interest. Popular
views are taken advantage of to discredit
an official, who, after investigating all
phases of a subject, may reach a decision
at variance with some private interest."
Senator Jones continued:
The pr&sw end magazines of the country for
several months have been filled with charges
ag-ainpc the present Secretary of the Interior
and ilia conduct of the office he liolds. These
oharjree ransre fvum petty insinuations and in
nuendoes to direct charges of malfeasance and
misconduct la office, which, if true, show that
he has most unworthily discharged hia trust.
A moment's thought ehooid cause an honest
and fair-minded man to hesitate to accept
such charges ajjairLn a man whose w-hole life
heretofore has been one of the highest recti
tlide and against whom no dishonorable charge
has ever been made in either private or public
life.
Such a man ie the present Secretary of the
Interior. He lei over 60 years of age, an hon
ored graduate of W illiam College an4 a law
yer of distinction. He came to our mate in
189 and has lived there ever since. He was
a Superior Judge for four years and Mayor of
the Cit- of battle. 'Wash.; and his adminis
tration of that office ha been a model for his
successors.
He aocepted the office of Commissioner of
tee General Luid Office at the urgent eolicita
tkm of Secretary Oarneld, who knew person
ally his sterling character end exceptional abil
ity. He did not seek that office. He accept
ed hia presunt ptition only upon the- earnest
solicitation of the President. H did not seek
It. It nwa.nL niMhiiiK i him but hard work
and poor suty. lie gave up & Jarg and (S
1 i V
crative law practice simply at the cal! of
pat riot io duty.
Detailed Plans Made.
Senator Jones declared it to be un
believable that such a man could be
come at once an arch enemy of the
people. The people were entitled to
know, he said, whether they had been
deceived. There was room for honest
differences of opinion upon the subject
of conservation. That the Secretary
was honest and patriotic the speaker
said he did not doubt.
"One thing Is sure," he continued.
"We have had several years of talk
about conservation: we have had plati
tude piled upon platitude in the most
dramatic way, but no specific or de
tailed plans fo.r conservation have been
presented.!
Senator Jones declared that Judge
Balllnger had made specific recommen
dations regarding all the important
conservation problems over which he
had Jurisdiction. He had recommended
the repeal of the timber and stone laws
and the disposal of the timber separate
from the soil. He recommended that
coal deposits be disposed of separately
from the surface rights.
Power Sites Controlled.
He had recommended legislation to
prevent the acquisition of power sites
on the public domain, and had recom
mended the disposal of lands capable of
being used for water power develop
ment upon substantially the following
conditions;
First That the title to ?uch lands be re
served In the Federal Government and only
an easement granted for the purpose of de
veloping a.nd -transmitting electrical, power for
private and public use, and for the storage
of waters for power, irrigation, and other
uses.
Second That mich easement be granted for
a limited period, with a maximum of at
least 30 years, and the option of renewal for
stated periods upon agreed terms.
Third That entry shall be accompanied by
plans and specifications covering the works
sought to be installed, and covering the max
imum horsepower capable of development at
such site; also, that a substantial entry fee
be pa.il to show good faith, and' that a traiu
fer to the tTnited. States of the necessary wa
ter rights to permit of the estimated power
development be made.
Fourth That the construction period al
lowed entrymen for the development of at
leawt 25 per cent of such powrwshall not ex
tend beyond four years, or such further time
as may be granted by the Secretary of the
Interior upon a proper showing.
Fifth That a moderate charge shall be
made on the capital invested, or upon the
gross earning? of the project for the first ten
yeans of operation, adjusted at each subse
quent ten-year period, and equitably deter
mined by appraltemen t .
Sixth That all rights and easements shall
be forfeitable for failure to make develop
ment within the limitations Imposed, or upon
entry into any contract or combination to
charge or fix rates beyond a reasonable profit
on the Investment nntl cost of operation, or
entry into any agreement or combination to
limit the eupply of electrical current, or fail
ure to operate the plant; and.
Seventh That all books and accounts shall
always be subject to the inspection of the
department.
Inquiry Must Be Thorough.
These, said Senator Jones, were con
crete proposals. None more compre
hensive had been presented by the most
radical conservationist. Referring to
the purpose and scope of the inquiry,
he concluded:
"This resolution has been drawn
directing the committee to investigate
along certain and specific lines, and
then authority is given to it to make
any further investigation that It may
deem desirable. The Intention is to se
cure the broadest and most thorough
investigation. If the resolution can be
made broader and more rigid, and a
more thorough investigation secured, it
should Be done and will be welcomed
by the Secretary.
"He wants-no whitewash; he wants
no partial investigation, he wants it
rigid, thorough, complete and conduct
ed without fear or favor. It is believed
that this resolution will accomplish this
purpose. It is not introduced in an
unfriendly spirit to any one, but simply
in the interest of honesty, decency and
good government."

DEMOCRATS FIGHT TO LAST
By Vote or 110 to lt2, Along Strict
Party Lines, .Measure Goes
Through and on to Senate.
Kiefer Joins Minority Ranks.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 With th Dem
ocrats fighting every inch, of the way,
the Mann bill, providing for the admin
istration of the Manama Canat xsr.e and
centralizing the government thereof in
the President of the United States,
passed the House today , by a, vote of 119
to 102. The vote was along atrlct party
lines.
The minority kept the Hotise in session
until 6 o'clock tonight by offering amend
ment after amendment and demanding
tellers on each vote. A futile effort was
made by Representative Richardson, of
Alabama, to have the measure recom
mitted to the committee on foreign and
interstate commerce, an aye and nay vote
resulting 104 ayes and 136 noes. t
Kiefer Joins Democrats.
Section two of the bill, which confers
on the President military, civil and judi
cial powers. Including the power to make
laws, was the object of cirited attack.
Representative Kliefer, of Ohio, joining
the Democrats In the fight.
The attitude of the majority and mi
nority on this section may be best de
scribed by a question propounded to Rep
resentative Townsend, of Michigan, by
Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, and
by Mr. Townsend's reply.
"Do you believe that Congress has any
power , under the Constitution to confer
legislative powers on the President?"
askd Mr. Oarrett.
"Ordinarily, no," replied Mr. Town
send. "In this instance, yes. We are
in Panama digging- a canal, and it is
necessary for the President to have
the power to make rules and regula
tions for the government of the zone
while that work is in progress.'
Representative Mann, author of the
bill, claimed that precedent for delega
tion of such power in the Executive
was found in similar action by Demo
cratic Congresses at the time of the
Louisiana Purchase, and again when
Florida was ceded to the United States
by Spain.
Harrison on Defense.
Defending his party. Representative
Harrison, of New York, said that dis
turbed International conditions made
such action necessary, but that despotic
government In those territories was
continued no longer than was necessary
to establish local government.
A motion by Mr. "Hard wick, of Geor
gia, to strike out the section entirely
was lost by the close vote of 85 to 90.
The bill, as it goes to the Senate,
authorizes the President to have com
pleted the Panama Canal and to ap
point a director-general of the canal
and the canal zone thus doing away
with the canal commission.
It Invests the judicial power of the
zone in one Circuit Court and such in
ferior courts as the President may con
stitute, and allows appeal to the Su
preme Court of the United States in
civil cases involving $5000 or more, and
In criminal cases punishable by death
or' life imprisonment. Trial by jury
is granted In all prosecutions for
felony.
WHITK SLAVE BILL DRASTIC
Minority Report Insists , Rights of
States Are Overridden.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. Characteris
ing Representative Mann's white slave
bill as "drastic and revolutionary,"
three Democratic'members of the House
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce, led by Representative Rich
ardson, of Alabama, today filed in the
House the minority report on that
measure, which was favorably acted
upon by that committee before the holi
day recess.
The minority's chief objection to the
bill is that under the execlusive au
thority that Congress has under the
commerce clause. Congress cannot
in the. exercise of police power
punish citizens of the states for violating-
a Federal statute made under
the pretense of regulating morals and
suppressing evils which in the strict
est and most legal sense Is an affair
which belongs to the-states.
Bill Would Protect Immigrants.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. 111 treat
ment of women Immigrants in their
occupancy of steerage accommodations,
resulting in some cases in gross Im
morality, led to the introduction today
by Senator Dillingham of a bill pro
viding for the presence of United
States surgeons. Immigrant inspectors
and matrons on all vessels carrying
Immigrants between the United States
and foreign ports.
