PEKA PLAINDEALER VOLUME XI. Far off Africa! RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW. (Delivered October 8, 1909, before the Liberian National Bar Association, by George W. Ellis, F. R. G. N., Member of the African Society of London for the Study of African Institutions; Member of the American Political Science Association; Member of the American Society of International Law.) Mr. President and Members of the Liberian National Bar Association: I have the honor to consider before you for twenty minutes, "Recent Developments in International Law." I am pleased to say that during the current year there have been many recent developments in international law; indeed, many more than I could hope to even suggest to you in the allotted time. I shall only attempt, therefore, to give in a hurried manner what seems to me to be the more important ones. And the little I shall say will be grouped for convenience under four general heads: National Movements Affecting International Law; International Events Affecting International Law; Legal Decisions Involving Principles of International Law; and Legal Publications Affecting International Law. I. NATIONAL MOVEMENTS AFFECTING INTERNATIONAL LAW. International law, like all civil institutions, is the evolutionary product of slow and steady growth. But the times have suddenly changed and international law is rapidly and substantially affected by organized national movements. Among them I invite your attention to the meeting of the American Society of International Law, at Washington from April 23rd to April 24th, 1909. 1. The American Society of International Law. Brietly, the discussions of this annual meeting involved three important propositions affecting international jurisprudence, namely: (1) Arbitration as a judicial remedy and the principles upon which an international court should be based; (2) the nature and definition of political offense in international extradition; (3) the development of international law by judicial decisions in the United States. I might mention here that three other subjects of note were brought to the attention of the society: (1) The results of the naval conference at London of 1903 9; (2) an account of the international opium commission at Shanghai; (3) a discussion of American international law, by Senor Alvarez, legal adviser of the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At this meeting a very important resolution authorizing the President of the Society to appoint a committee of seven to codify those principles of justice which ought to govern the intercourse of nations, and requested a preliminary report, if possible, at the annual meeting in 1910. 2. The Chicago National Peace Conference Another national movement worthy of mention is the National Peace Conference which convened at Chicago, May 3rd to May 5th, 1909. This conference consisted of 500 delegates, representative of 32 states, and composed of experts in business, scholars, college presidents, eminent lawyers, and publicists of international repute. They discussed the peace movement in all its aspects, the two Hague conferences and the questions likely to be considered by the third. The conference took high and advanced grounds in declaring for obligatory arbitration for all questions not involving the independence and life of a nation; for the limitation of armaments on land and sea, and urged the President and Congress to take the initiative by creating a special commission, whose report is to form the basis for the action of the American delegates at the third Hague. Following the example of Denmark and Great Britain, this conference declared for constructive measures at public cost to promote international good understanding, amity and hospitality. It appealed to every organization, civil and religious, in the United States to take active steps to maintain the attitude of TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 19, 1980. the United States in high and influential leadership in behalf of international justice and good will. 3. The Fifteenth Lake Mohonk Conference. Another important movement is the Lake Mohonk Conference, which meet in its fifteenth annual meeting at Lake Mohonk, Ulster County, New York, May 19th to 21st, 1909. The sessions of this distinguished gathering have a dual claim upon public attention: (1) In the powerful and thoughtful address of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University; and (2) in the progress and sanity of the adopted platform. The address of President Butler reviewed the world's progress toward peace and discussed at length the chief factors which menace it today—the misunderstanding of motives between Germany and Great Britain. The address received high comment and was given wide international circulation and will doubtless influence the international councils of these two great powers. Adfirable in sentiment and terse in expression, it is very difficult to praise too highly the platform adopted. It reviewed with inspiration ten years of progress toward international arbitration. It demanded of the American Government firm support for the International Court of Arbitral Justice, and the development and completion of all the arbitration measures inaugurated at the secondague Conference. It urged the recognition of arbitration treaties among all nations for the settlement of all questions not settled by diplomacy. It declared for the limitation of armaments corresponding to the instrumentalities of law and order, and insisted in the most solemn terms that military and naval systems should be abandoned which impose war budgets, whose expenditure for military and destructive purposes have been a world-wide strain upon the resources of modern states. I. INTERNATIONAL EVENTS APPECIING INTERNATIONAL LAW. Among the international events of note I only mention a few in a general way. During the current year fourteen powers have all there to the Hague conventions, not already adopted. Mexico joins the 26 nations which have adhered to the Declaration of Paris of 1856, and 29 powers have become parties to 14 arbitration treaties. The second paragraph of Article 7 of the Prize Court Convention of the second Hague Convention is responsible for the International Naval Conference of London, 1908 9. This article provided in the case of prizes that the court would apply the terms of the treaty, if one existed between the interested parties; if this is inadequate, then the common principles of justice and equity were to be employed. The great maritime powers, especially Great Britain, hesitated to adhere to th Prize Convention on account of the vagueness and indefinitness of this article. To relieve the situation, Great Britain invited 10 of the naval poers most likely to be interested in the subject matter to meet at London and consider a program which she had prepared. Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan, Spain. The Netherlands, and the United States accepted. The conference was in session nearly three months and its "Declaration Concerning the Law of Naval War" contains 71 articles. The second Hague gave us an International Prize Court and the London Conference supplies this prize court with an international prize code. I wish I might omit the International Opium Commission, proposed by the United States and accepted by Austria-Hungary, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Persia, Japan, Russia, Portugal, Siam and The Netherlands. Thirteen nations met under the rules of The Hague of 1899 to consider one of the greatest problems of the East, a problem almost world-wide in extent, and after studying its various phases for nearly a month concluded its labors in nine unanimous declarations. The high example of this commission in the disposition of this world problem is not only far reaching in its effects, but remarkably indicative of the times. III. LEGAL DECISIONS INVOLVING .. PRINCIPLES OF INTERNA... TIONAL LAW. Besides national movements and in- ternational events affecting international law, it is astonishing what a large contribution is yearly made to the great body of international law by the courts of last resort in the different nations. As an illustration I might mention one or two cases. 1. New York vs. Danilano. A recent case is the case of New York vs. Damiano, involving the principle of extradition. In brief, the facts are that Damiano was indicted in New York for murder and he fled to Argentine. A demand was made for him under the extradition convention between the United States and Argentine. Argentine found probable cause to deliver up Damiano, but in doing so imposed the restriction that Damiano's punishment should be limited to life imprisonment, as would be the case if convicted in Argentine. Argentine sought to sustain her position by this clause in the Americo-Argentine Extradition Convention: "For the purpose of extradition the two high contracting parties will proceed, in accordance with this treaty, in conformity with the laws regulating judicial proceedings at the time being enforced in the country to which the demand for extradition shall be directed." 2. Collins v4. O'Neil. In the case of Collins vs. O'Neil, Collins was indicted in California July 13, 1905, for perjury in San Francisco County. He was subsequently located at Victoria, British Columbia, removed to California and tried for perjury. The jury could not agree and the case was reset for trial. But in his testimony for himself in this mistrial Collins committed another perjury and was again indicted, tried, and this time convicted and sentenced to 14 years imprisonment. In this case Collins contended that under the law of extradition the court had no jurisdiction; that he could only be tried for the crime for which he was extradited, and that until the said extradited crime had been disposed of he could be tried for no other offense until he had had a reasonable time to return to the country from which he had been extradited. On this point, in habeas corpus proceedings, the case went through all the state and national courts, each decision being against Collins. After reviewing the case thoroughly in its final disposition, the Supreme Court of the United States sustained the decisions of the lower courts. The trend of the opinion is reflected in this brief quotation: "The party proceeded against must not be tried for any other offense existing at the time when he was extradited (whether at the time of such extradition it had or had not been discovered) until he shall have had a reasonable time to return to the country from which he was taken, after his trial or other termination of the proceedings. That such privilege be accorded to one who commits a crime after his surrender to a demanding government lacks all semblance of reason or sense." J. Honduras vs Salvador and Guatemala. This is the first case before the Central American Court of Justice and therefore important. It arose out of the accusations of Honduras. Here is an interesting spectacle of an independent nation, before an international court, indicts and prosecutes two other independent sovereignties for the crime of fostering revolution within the borders of the former. After reviewing the records in the case and hearing the pleas and arguments of counsels of international repute for the plaintiff and defendant states, the court handed down its first decision in these words: *Article 1. The pleas of inadmissibility of the complaint and of insufficiency thereof to begin the action, as entered by the representative of the Gautemalan Government, are declared inadmissible. "Article 2. The Governments of the republics of El Salvador and Gautemala, the high defendant, are acquitted of the charges made against them in this suit and it is therefore declared that there are no grounds for holding them responsible as demanded by the high plaintiff, and no party is sentenced to pay the cost." 4. Dr. Pedro Audies Formos Díaz vs. Gautemala. This is the second case before the Central American Court of Justice. I commend it especially to the Liberian Pat. The facts in brief are these: Dr. Diaz, a citizen of Nicaragua, on December 15th, 1907, visited Guatemala and had an interview with President Cabrera. When he was leaving the palace of the government on the 28th of December with a passport with a view of departing by the first steamer he was without warrant or notice arrested, stripped of all his personal property, an confined in the central penitentiary in an unhealthy cell, until April the 14th when he was transferred to bartolina No. 54, where (Continued on Page 8 ) BROWN AND BECK. Perhaps the most interesting young men in all Kansas are Brown and Beck. They are interesting because they are doing something worthy of more than passing notice. About two years ago these two young men purchased a grocery at 311 West Fourteenth street. It was a small affair at the first, but through their keen right and bus. [Image of a man with a beard and a suit, looking to the right]. iness ability the store has outgrown itself and stands well up in the ranks of concerns conducted by men of far more exience than either of these youthful grocers. The business is conducted on strict lines. Their service is prompt and they are ever ready to do that which will please their large and increasing trade. For Thankgiving they are preparing a lot of specials, and their trade for this day alone will equal that of any of their competitors Earl W Beck was born in Wr mego, Kansas, January 18, 1888. There he graduated from the High school in 1907 and came to Topeka the same year. Russell S. Brown first saw the light of day at London, Ky., in 1888. He came to Kansas in 1903, settled in Topeka and graduated from the High school in 1909 These young men are the youngest independent grocere (white or black) in Kansas, and we feel an especial pride in them. The day is fast approaching when the young men will be called upon to fill the places of the older ones, and all will have to admit that Brown and Beck are equipping themselves admirably. NUMBER 47 PARSONS, KAS Sunday was quarterly meeting at the A M E church. Presiding elder King preached two excellent sermons, but the evening exercises were a bit murred by the introduction of one Moses Allen, a self-styled street evangelist, who came from everywhero and whose final destination seems to be nowhere. The Negro minister may find a proper place to pursue his vocation; but mockery. open, vile and premeditated, should be given no quarters in the sacred confines of the pulpit. Otherwise, the meeting was a success both spiritually and financially. Rev Greenle deserves much credit for the way he is conducting his ministerial duties. Mrs Mary Harwell Weloh has returned to the city after spending a week at Baxter Springs, visiting her husband, Joseph Welch, a prosperous Cherokee county farmer. PR Hogan spent a few days in Ft Scott last week, visiting with relatives. Mrs Hester Broadus and Miss Mae Foster, hair dressers, have accepted positions at Miss Dorsey's beauty parlor. Harrison White reports that his mother, who has been seriously ill for several months, is slowly improving. RC Wright arrived in the city last Wednesday and on Thursday moved his family to Wichita, where he is pharmacist in the drug store of C A Morris. Brooks Roberts has told his interest in the West Point restaurant and will embark in other business. Mrs J W Caraway, wife of our popular railway mail clerk, arrived in the city Tuesday, from Dallas, Texas, and they will make this their future home. JOPLIN, XO. The members and friends of Friety M. E church about a very successful rally Sunday. There were five organized clubs who worked very faithfully. Rev. John Holt but the banner club for the day. He is a faithful member and trustee and worked hard for first place winning only by the value of ten cents over Mrs E. Yarbra, another zealous member who always succeeds. The clubs raised J. A. Holt, $12.75; Mrs. E Yarbes, 22 65, Mrs N. Holt, 17 25; Mrs. Williams, 15 95 Mrs Blackburn; 14 93. With public donations the rally proceeds were $100 and the pastor' Rev. Williams, is as happy as a lark. Miss Fannie Scantling returned from a five weeks visit in Kansas City. She is making calls in Joplin ere she returns to her home in Galesburg, twelve miles distant. Mrs. Seamster, formerly of Joplin but now of Kansas City, is visiting here. Miss Gertrude Wall has returned from Clinton, Mo. Topeka Defeats Quindaro. The Topeka Y. M. C. A. football team played Western University in Kansas City last Friday afternoon. The game was indeed an interesting one. The first half closed with six to nothing in favor of W. U. In the second half Topeka triumphed over W U and ended the game fourteen to six in favor of the Topeka Y. M. C. A. Any old Soldier who made a homestead entry of 40,80 or 120 acres in any state in the Union before the year of 1874, has a claim coming to him from the Government provided he has never sold this righ- or taken up another homestead. It does not make any difference whether he proved up on his original homestead entry or simply left it. A soldier who never made a homestead entry or one who entered land after June 22, 1874, has nothing to sell. Mr. II. C. Davis and wife and Jesse Davis and wife visited with Mr. J. B. Kruthers and family Sunday. Mr. Will Sadler and family moved to our little burg Monday. Mr. Clinton Davis visited in Paxico Monday evening.

A Kansan in Faroff Africa Continued from Page 1. he remained until August 11, 1908, when without restoration of his property he was taken to San Jose, and 6 days later expelled from the country. Dr. Diaz, soon after his arrest, was questioned about whom he had talked with about Nicaraguan politics and some witnesses were examined as to him being a spy for President Jose Santos Zelaya of Nicaragua Dr. Diaz made no effort to recover damages and losses in the Guatemalan court, although he was arrested without warrant, questioned and imprisoned for more than 6 months in an unhealthy cell of a penitentiary by Guatemalan officials, on the grounds, that the courts were corrupt and controlled by a political despotism. He brought suit in the first instance before the Central American Court under Article 2 of the Convention creating the court and which defines its jurisdiction. After considering all the questions involved in the case, first whether the facts were such as the law of nations placed under the protection of the court; second, whether the plaintiff had sought local relief in the Gautemalan courts and failed; third, whether in the absence of such short to restless the court could accept a substitute of the uselessness of such short based on the assertion of the uselessness of the same and the corruption of the Gautemalan courts; fourth, how in the convention confer or denies authority for this purpose, the court, in a sound opinion in harmony with the great and fundamental principle of international law because Dr. Diaz had not exhausted his legal remedies in the courts of Gautemala, finally concluded: First. The said complaint is declared inadmissible because this court lacks jurisdiction in the case as it has been presented. Second. Let this decision be communicated to the Governments of Central America. I commend this case to the bar for a more extended review than I am now able to epistent. 5. France vs. Germany. Finally, I have only to consider the Cusablanca incident. In this case it appeared that the Imperial terman Consulate at Casablanca extended consular protection to 5 members of the French foreign legion who were deserting. 3 of whom were German subjects. This incident was the occasion of much feeling on the part of both France and Germany, and no doubt in former times would have been regarded as a sufficient cause belli Happily saner councils prevailed in the governments of both peoples and the matter was submitted to the Hague in November, 1908. The Court of Arbitration convened May 1, 1909, and after due consideration of all the facts in the case handed down its decision May 22, 1909. It is as follows: It was wrong and a grave and manifest error for the Secretary of the Imperial German Consulate at Casablanca to attempt to have embarked, on a German steamship, deserterers from the French foreign legion who were not of German nationality. The German Consul and the other officers of the Consulate are not responsible in this regard; however, in signing the safe-conduct which was presented to him, the Consul committed an unintentional error. It was wrong for the French military authorities not to respect, as far as possible, the actual protection being granted to these deserters in the name of the German Consulate. Even leaving out of consideration the duty to respect consular protection, the circumstances did not warrant, on the part of the French soldiers, either the threat made with a revolver or the prolongation of the shots fired at the Moroccan soldier of the Consulate. There is no occasion for passing on the other charges contained in the conclusions of the two parties The difference between the judgment of this Court of Arbitration in tone and character and the judgments of the Central American Court of Justice is impressively striking, and yet at this stage of international opinion and conditions, arbitration discharges a very necessary and important function. IV. Legal publications affecting international law. I cannot close without recalling to you that with all the in vents and decisions, national and international, affecting international law, we have had recently some very pleasing developments in international legal literature. Three works have appeared on international arbitration: the evolution of the principle of arbitration in America by Francis o Jose Francio; international arbitration as a substitute for war between nations, by Russell Lowell Jones; and the evolution of international arbitration, by Thomas Walling Buck. I might mention here the work on the Monroe Doctrine, by H. A. Moulin, and the Consul: functions, immunities, organization, executur, by Ellery C. Stowell. Following in the footsteps of Professors Westlake and Holland, "the Nestors of the International Bar of England." Professor Petey Bordwell of the University of Missouri contributes an interesting volume on the Law of War between Belligerents: a history and commentary. Two works of note have appeared in Germany of international import. The Practice of the Deutsch Reichsgeright in Extradition. (Die Praxis des Deutschen Reichsgericht in auslieferungsschen.), by Dr. Im, Wolfgang Mettgenburg; and The Principles of Revolutionary Pacifism. (Die Grundlagen des Revolutionaten Pacifienne), by Alfred H. Fried The work of Dr. Mottgenburg is important in that extradition in Germany is granted by the administrative authorities and not by the courts. And yet by a construction placed upon the German Criminal Procedure Act extradition cases, raising points of law, may be appealed from the lower courts to the Reichsgericht just as law points in other cases may be taken upon appeal. A fourth edition of Sir Edward Clarke's work on extradition appeared, but it is so far inferior to the works of Moore and Van Dyne on the same subject that it deserves no mention here except as an indication of the interest in extradition. At the banquet of the American Society of International law in April last, upon the proposal of Dr James Brown Scott, Dr. Robert S. Woodward, President of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, announced the republication of the recognized classics in international law, in the original with an English translation What a tribute to Dr. Scott! What a service to international law! You will readily recognize the mammoth importance of this undertaking when you reflect that we shall have in English not only the great works of Grotius, but those of his predecessors and his successors as well. Of those before Grotius we shall have under the general supervision of Dr. Scott for the study alike of the student and the scholar, the works of Legnano of Bologna; Belli and Gentillis of Italy; Brunus of Germany, Victoria of Salumanca, and Avalt and Suarez of Spain. And to these will be added in one unbroken series the works of many who have succeeded the great reputed father of international law. Among them I recall the names of Richard Zoucho, an Englishman, Pufendorf, a German, Bynkerscherk, a Dutchman, and Wolff, the teacher of Vattel. To these will be added the work of Martens, the international decisions of Lord Stowell, Chief Justice Marshall, Justices Storey and Kent, Sir Leoline Jenkins, the history of the law of nations, by Ward, and the institutes of international law, by Wildman. In the presence of this magnificent undertaking we realize how irresistibly are the nations gradually and yet hurriedly drawn into the vortex and embrace of forces which must ultimately lead them to a high destiny and final reign of international law. Between the forces for peace and war a mortal contest is on. In the interest of law and humanity, against great odds, the lovers of peace are waging one of the most heroic struggles in the history of the human race. Staggering under the burdens of centuries I imagine I can hear the groans of Democracy sighing, as she presses forward, for the time when war shall cease among the nations of the earth and mankind everywhere can truly sing we have Our flags together furled, Henceforward no other strife, Than which of us most shall help the world. Which lead the noblest life. Let us hope the workers for peace may never failed. Let us do our part, that they may never fail. SPRINGFIELD, MO, NOTES. Springfield, Mo. Nov. 15, 1909. Mrs. A. B. Freeman has just recently returned from a visit in Muskogee, where she had a very pleasant suppon with her brother, Mrs. Mike Byas, who has very recently taken unto himself a wife. We wish them happiness and prosperity. Mrs. Mahalt Dotson had a most delightful two weeks' visit in Quincy and Chicago. Ill. visiting her son, Mrs. Rachel Jones and other relatives. Mr. Wm. Chambalain, brother to Mr. lesse Chamberlin, after an absence of eighteen years, returned, accompanied by a young and charming wife of eighteen summers, e was summoned to the beld side of his mother, but he will no doubt make his home here for a time. Just recently Mrs. Mattle Young received, in her usual charming manner, the Woman's Musical and Literary Club, for the first time since being domiciled in her new, lovely home. This was a most enjoyable meetin, one to be long remembered. There was a very large, prompt attendance and much business of importance was disposed of. A lively discussion on prohibition was led by Mrs. E. C. Johnson, in which the visitors took a part. The interesting talks of Mrs. Ella Pickett, Mrs. Mattle McCracken and Miss Ollie J. Martin were profitable and enjoyable. Miss Martin displayed her ability as an interesting and delightful speaker. The best quotations were in favor of Mrs. M. E. Dorsey and the president, Phillis Wheatley, the author. During the social hour the amiable hostess had the assistance, in serving a most palatable two-course menu, of her daughter, Miss Elith, and Mrs. Adah Stephenson. We regret that the notes of one issue were misplaced or lost. The Masons are making elaborate preparations for a sumptuous banquet Thanksgiving. The greatest event of the season!

Mrs. Ceha Gipson was interred Monday afternoon at Hizelwood cemetery. Funeral services at M. H. Chapel, ably conducted by Rev. John McAllister, Presiding Elder. The funeral was very largely attended. Mrs. Gipson had been a sufferer for several years. For two years she had not been able to lie down. She was a charter member of Butts M. H. Church; also a charter member of Golden Gate Tabernacle No. 36. She was laid peacefully to rest by this order. She died at the pipe old age of 105 years, 10 months and 22 days. It seems that she lived in touch with the passage of Scripture, "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in bond which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Eldgar Armstrong, after an illness of seventeen weeks, died Monday morning, November 8, at 15 minutes to 11 o'clock. He was conscious to ta last. He told his friends that he was praying and that he put all his trust in God. Services at the M. K. Church, funeral preached by Rev. Allen, Revs. Deboe and McAllister assisting. Music by K. of P. band. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The entire service was very sad and impressive. As he was a member, he was buried with the K. of P. ceremonies. This order was well represented. Mrs. Nancy Logan, 48 years old, died Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Marley, on West Phelps avenue. The remains were forwarded to Ozark for interment. After an illness of seven weeks, Mrs Mary Blakey, wife of Otis Blakey, died Friday night, November 12, at 10 o'clock. She leaves a baby girl seven weeks old and a little daughter between two and three weeks old; a husband, a large number of relatives and a host of friends to mourn her untimely demise. She was 26 years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Wesley McDowell, mother- and father-in-law of Mr. Blakey, will care for the motherless children. Mrs. Alice Jones, having been summoned to the bedside of her brother Edgar, returned home after weary weeks of watching and care. Parents and friends, do not fail to visit the schools on Wednesday, just before Thanksgiving, as the teachers and pupils of the different rooms are preparing programs and entertainments both interesting and beneficial. Come and see what is in store for you. The work of the Domestic Science Department is something great. Go see, examine and judge for yourself. All should be proud of the work and give them your encouragement. The deserve it. They will erect a booth in Gibson Chapel, C. P. Church, where their work will be on exhibition.

A nice attendance, though several were reported on the indisposed list. On the hall tax $25 was collected, and $12.20 on dues. Other important business was systematically and pleasantly transacted, but which held the chapter till a late hour.

Mr. Ross Reed, wife and son Garland had a delightful ten days' visit in Kansas City with relatives and friends. The Queen City Court was in session Thursday afternoon, with Mrs. Mary Jarrett in the chair. The meeting was a very pleasant and businesslike one. Mrs. Jarrett has presided over this order about seven years, not in succession, but that number of terms, showing her ability as a presiding officers. The order is progressing, notwithstanding the large number which it seems to have constantly on the sick roll. Dues and endowment collected at last meeting, 756 and some cents reported, which is good. This is a band of noble women, doing much good and working for the uplift of their race. CARD OF THANKS.
