CONVENES IN AUGUST

ration' Should Be Brought
Xearer Is Suggested. '
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 1. Ratification of
the peace treaty, including; the league
of nations covenant, without amend
ments, will be recommended at the
convention of the American Bar asso
ciation here. August 25 to 27. inclu
sive. The recommendation will toe in
the majority report of a special com-
' mittee appointed to consider the
"treaty.
The committee which signed the
report' was composed of Edgar A.
Bancroft of Chicago, William H.
Wadhams of New York and the late
Frederick N. Judson of this city.
Charles Blood Smith of Topeka,
Kan., and. Henry St. George Tucker
of Lexinaton. Va.. will present a mi
nority re-oort. in which they assert
they are "unable to concur" with the
majority committee.
Sections of reports to be presented
at the convention have been received
by members of the local arrange
ments committee. The reports treat
of. various subjects.
: VTour committee is of the opinion
that the treaty, including the pro
niuali for a leaeue of nations, should
be rat Lf led without amendment." the
majority report on the treaty de
oims. "The world is anxious to re
turn to a more settled ' condition
which awaits the termination of the
creat war. If amendments are pro
nosed by the United States, other
rovemments would undoubtedly pro
pose amendments, and it is unlikely
that a second conference could pro
duce a more satisfactory treaty.
America Logical Leader.
"It is particularly fitting that the
United States should support the pro
posal for this league. The league 4s
based UDon our own experience in
federation of states enjoying liberty
and peace. . It has been our high
destiny to Join with our allies in pre
venting the destruction of liberty
and establishing it as the governing
principle in the life of the states.
"Upon entering the war we ex
pressed It as our desire and purpose
to secure not only for ourselves, but
for all nations of the world, an en-
riurinar neace. based upon those prin
ciples of liberty and of Justice which
we enjoy. The league is organized
for that purpose. Should the United
States refuse to enter the league it
would defeat its organization; should
the United; States Join.it gives the
best assurance of its success."
Dealing with the subject of amend
ments and reservations, the report
reiterates that amendments are de
structive to the pact, and emphasizes
that only Interpretative reservations
should be permitted.
Another report suggests that the
election of the president of the
United States and his Inauguration be
brought nearer together and that the
short session of the old congress be
abandoned.
" ( Disaster Made Possible,
; The interval between the election
and inauguration of a president, this
report declares, is a "serious evil,
fraught with much danger, because, if
an administration is discredited by
a popular vote of want of confidence,
the prestige of the government at
home and abroad is weakened and
there is danger of humiliation and
disaster to the republic" The report
does not recommend any other date
for the election or the inauguration.
Recommendation that the making
of rules for the conduct of aviation
e .held in abeyance until airplanes
become more numerous is set forth
in another report.
The committee on international law
will present a report which states
that, after outlining developments of
the reconstruction period, it "finds
little to record of wise and final ad
Justment or of complete accord.
Commenting on the meeting of the
organization committee of the per
manent court of international justice
under the league of nations, the re
port says: "At last a body distinctly
leaal. a body of our cloth and pro
fession. is seeking, and is given an
opportunity to organize International
Justice and prepare lor Its enforce
ment in the world."
A large number of prominent
speakers are expected to address the
association, including Sir Auckland
Geddes, British ambassador to the
United States; Franklin K. Lane, for
mer secretary of the interior; Albert
J. Beveridge of Indiana, former United
States senator, and Judge Ben B.
Lindsey of Denver. Hampton L.
Carson of Philadelphia is president
of the association.
Sections of the association will
meet simultaneously with the parent
organization as follows: Compara
tive law. Judicial section, legal edu
cation, patent, trade-mark and copy
right law and public utility law.
A number of important allied bodies
also will meet here in conjunction
with the convention. They Include
the national conference of commis
sioners on uniform laws, conference
of delegates from state and local bar
associations. Association or American
Law Schools and the National Associ
ation of Attorneys-General.

PIANO RECALLS TRAGEDY
Old Instrument Discovered in De

BRIDGEPORT. Cal.. Aug. 7. Vis
itors to the now deserted mining camp
of Lundy, once a populous community
of- Mono county, were surprised to
find a square piano In one of the old
buildinas. . Buried in dust and its
voice silent for a score of years, the
instrument proved ,to be In good con
dition and fair tung. and members of
the party produced upon It airs It had
never known in the days when It af
forded entertainment for a lively min
ing camp.
Old-timers here associate the for
gotten piano with a romance .and a
tragedy. .
As the story goes, a young girl
talented in music, came from an east
ern state to visit In Lundy, and the
entire camp was attracted by the won
derful melodies which she produced
upon that, the only piano for 200 miles
around. Among others -came a gam
bler of the fascinating dandy type of
early California days. Immediately he
laid siege to the girl's affections and
soon carried her away to San Fran
Cisco as his bride.
Only a few months later word came
back to Lundy that the girl of the
piano was dead murdered, and that
her gambler husband was gone and
with him a small fortune belonging
to Ms wife.
- Thereafter the piano fell Into dis
use and when the people of Lundy.

CREDIT CLAIMED BY JAPAN
FORMER AMBASSADOR VIS
COUNT KATO TALKS.
called Bryan treaty, which was signed
In 1914. - Its aim is to advance the
cause of general peace and it provides
that all disputes of every nature shall
be referred to a permanent arbitration
commission which has at least a year
to .study the dispute at Issue. The
parties reserve the right to act in
dependently on the subject matter of
the dispute after the report has been
submitted, but agree not to engage in
hostilities before the commission has
made its report.
The Bryan treaty was to continue
for five years but remains in force
until twelve months after one of the
.contracting parties has given notice
of an intention to terminate it. Unless
denounced, the treaty Is therefore
without limit of duration. Americans
apparently regard this as a permanent
arbitration agreement.
It Is learned here that Japan was
approached by. the United States con
cerning the signing of a similiar
agreement. Viscount Kato, who was
foreign minister, expressed Japan'sde
sire for a permanent peace with the
United States, but the Japanese gov
ernment has never followed -up the
official suggestion of the United
States government to arrange a treaty.
One treaty concerning arbitration
already exists . between Japan and
the United States. It was signed in
1908. renewed in 1913 and in 1918 was
extended to 1923. This agreek-ient
refers only to differences which may
arise of a legal nature or relating
to the interpretation of treaties ex
isting between the contracting par
ties. Such matters are to be submitted
to the permanent Hague tribunal.
In the course of the interview above
referred to. Viscount Kato-admitted
that he could name no specific object
to be accomplished by the renewal of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, but he
thought its renewal would be an act
of prudence on the part of both na
tions. "It has been in exlstanee for 20
years," he said, "and it has been useful
for both countries. If it Is not
renewed, the position will not be the
same as if It had never been made.
The tendency will be for the two
countries to drift apart."

He Is Offered $64 a Gallon
LA GRANDE. Or., Aug. 7. (Spe
cial.) The mint industry, although
carried on In a small way In Grand
Ronde valley, seems to be profitable.
Two years ago Angus Shaw, of Sum
mervllle and one of the large land
holders of tne valley, planted eight
acres of low land to peppermint
plants. Last year from' the plants
on the eight acres he .pressed out
32 gallons' of oil. ;. -
Although there was. no mill near
by for Mr. Shaw to use, there was
an old mill which had. formerly
served to press the- oil out of pine
needles for medicine, after which the
needles were used ' in the manufac
ture of mattresses and other articles.
This mill had been Dut of service
for the last ten years. In 'using
this same mill Mr. Shaw found that
he could not get away from the pine
needle oil flavor, and so built a small
mill at Summerville, where he fin
ished his work. ,
Mr. Shaw has been offered $64 a
gallon for his mint oil.

for His . Own Country and
U. S. to Renew Treaty.
TOKIO, Aug. 7. Viscount Kato.
formerly ambassador to England, in
recent Interview, declared that al
though the arbitration treaty between
England and the United states was
not ratified by tne senate ana ine
result aimed at unaccomplished, that
it was Japan who proposed the inser
tion of a clause in the Angio-japan-
ese alliance which would remove the
risk of England's becoming involved
in any dispute between the United
States and Japan.
The clause referred to is Article IV
of the alliance, which provides that,
should either party conclude a treaty
of general arbitration with a third
power, it is agreed that nothing in
the agreement should impose an ob
ligation to go to war with the power
with whom such an arbitration treaty
Is in force.
A difference of opinion appears to
exist in Toklo diplomatic circles as
to the actual scope of the British
American . arbitration treaty. The
treaty actually in force is the so-
