be treated-that is to say, the art of
framing appropriate and effective
laws. The laws of the people should,
of course, be devised and shaped IN
accordance with their traditions and
their character; and so far as Inese
differ it is neither possible nor deslr-
able to have entire uniformity IN laws:
But the resemblance in character ana
traditions between the people OF the
states of the Union are far greater
than the differences, and this renders
uniformity in many particulars lmprac-
tica'ble. Is there no way in which
people. essentially one. can secure to
themselves prodigious benefits that
would arise from a uniformity in legal
ruler.
our unwritten law is already sub
stantially the same, and that l have
always regarded as an impressive rea-
son from abstaining from any attempt
to reduce it into written forms. which
would al once tend to plunge it into dl-
versity. Whatever can be done to Sc
cure this desired uniformity must be
done by voluntary concerted action.
The appointment made by several
states during the past year of commits
sions designed to forward this effort,
affords US much encourag cement.
so far as the unwritten law is con-
cerned, this uniformity will be ap-
preached as rapidly as should be de-
sired by the operation of the uncon-
scious forces of human society. But
the positive legislative determinations
OF nations can be assimilated or recon-
ciled only by conscious and concerted
action. Much has already been accom-
piished in this direction by treaties,
and by those concurrently adopted
regulations operative upon the sea,
the common domain of all nations. The
wise furtherance of this beneficent
work depends upon the intelligent
foresight and cooperation of the en-
lightened jurists of the world"
Following the presidents address the
executive committee reported the cleo
ton of twenty-seVen new members dur
ing the past year. The general council
reported it's approval of 12S nominal
tons for membership, all of whom
were thereupon elected unanimously.
The secretary reported liza members
on the roll, besides those elected today

$3,700.S6 was shown by the report Of

NEW YORK, Aug. pa special to

There will be strong fight over the
successor to Captain w. S. Davis, late
member of the commission for selec-
ton and distribution Of lands to Vim

bfnation is said to have been formed
of New York, New Jersey and St.
Louis capitalists to control this ap-
Dointment for the purpose of securing,
81 possible, monopoly of the vast GIL
s64ite deposits which lie along the
eastern boundary OF the -Uncompahgre
reservation.
Under the law providing for the
opening of the Uncompahgre reserva-
ton no person is permitted to locate
more than two claims of ten acres
each containing asphaltum or gibson
tie Representative Of the combine,
however, hope to have the ear OF the
commission and to know in advance
the exact date when the reservation
will be open. Their plan is said TO
have a stool pigeon on every deposit
within the area named, ready TO file
his claim on an hours warning. While
these claims will be ostensibly for the

they will in reality be in the interest
OF the combine.
There are less than 1000 Indians to
whom land VIII be allotted, and these

among the agricultural sections along
the Green. and White rivers and up

a share to stockholders who prove their
shares not to be owned or controlled by
the reorganization committee. Many
present holders of stock purchased on
the market. maintain that they are not
held to any agreement made by other
owners of the same stock in the past
with the reorganization committee.
Judge Seaman agreed to hear the at
torneys this afternoon on a motion for

ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Attempt Being Made TO Work Up n
DIPLOMATIC Controversy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-An attempt
has ben made in some quarters to work
up a diplomatic controversy over the
Alaska boundary survey between the
United States and Great Britain The
status of the case is now that the bound
airy is to be settled by an agreement be-
TWEEN the two countries after a survey
has been made. Both countries make an
INDEPENDENT survey, but these surveys
do not settle the boundary. but viii have
to be agreed upon by both countries at
some time in the future. Because the
survey, which is now being made by
Great Britain includes certain lands
which people in Washington and
Alaska believe rightfully belongs
to the United States, an impress
sion has been created that the sur
vey settles the boundary and that the
United States should protest against it.
The survey by the United States may be
unsatisfactory to Great Britain. AS both
surveys are made Independently they are
preliminary to an International agree
ment. Until the surveys are completed
nothing else will be done.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug 27-Indian-
apoIis will claim the right to try H. II.
Holmes for murder. The claim will be
based on the horrible developments OF
today, which include the finding of the
charred remains of 9-year-old Howard
Pietzel, and evidence which before any
grand jury in the country would convict
Holmes of having murdered him and
then partially burned his body in
stove.
Detectives Geyer, of Philadelphia;
Richards, of Indianapolis. and Inspec-
tor Gary, of the Fidelity Insurance
company, have been at work for weeks
hunting for traces of the boys body.
He was traced here with Holmes and
Disappeared The city was secured and
work begun in the suburbs, hunting
for a house rented by Holmes on oct.
10, IL or II of last year.
The Lone Cottage.
This morning the detectives went to
Irvington, a pretty suburb Oh TINS CITY
and the seat of Butler college, and be-
fore they had been at work an hour
their attention was called by a local
real estate dealer to small vacant
cottage situated in the woods at the
edge of town and far removed from
any other dwellings. The party went
TO the house and a few minutes later
the officers found beneath the size
porch the missing trunk, which was
taken from the side door of the Circle
house in this city on Oct. 30 by
Holmes and which was thought 10 con-
tain the body Of the boy.
Great excitement followed and hun
,dreds hocked to the scene as soon as
the discovery leaked out, although tho
officers tried to keep the matter a Sc
cret The house was guarded and
work began, searching for additional
evidence. Developments followed thick
and fast and the chain Of evidence Is
damaging.
Holmes Crematory.
In a. barn connected with the house
was a large stove of cylindrical shape.
of the same pattern as Holmes bought
in Cincinnati. He rented the house
under the same alias. The stove had
been moved from the house to the
stable by the owner of the house after
Holmes left.
1t was at once concluded that the
body had been burned in the stove and
search began for the remains.
Late this evening Dr.. J. F. Barn
hills attention was called by small
boy named Walter Jenny to the stove
hole where the stove had been. 1t
was filed with refuse. This was
pulled out and the remains Of the body
were found. Physicians and dentists
were there, and in this refuse hun
dreds of pieces of charred bones were
found. The teeth showed that the
body was that Of boy between eight
and ten years of age, and all the other
/ bones confirmed this. All were charred.
and pieces of flesh chung to some of

boy had evidently been burned in a

had left it, saying the boy would call

house recognize Holmes from pictures
and several neighbors distinctly re-

identified him and all doubt is re-
moved. Other developments are ex-

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. N.-Today At
torney General Crane gave out his sec
Ond opinion anent the Corbett-Fitzsim-
mons prize fight in Dallas in October.
This opinion was called for by an in
terrogatory propounded by Sheriff Ca
bell of Dallas county, as to whether
in suppressing the fight he was legally
empowered to shoot and kill those who
interfered with him The attorney
general holds that in the lawful dis
charge of his duty the Sheriff certainly
has the right to use fire arms if emer-
gency demands. He bases his opinion
on the statutes governing riots. etc,
and argues that as the fighters with all
those in attendance will certainly be
a gathering in violation of the law
and that under the law the Sheriff or
any sworn peace officer is bound to
disperse said assemblage at any cost.
AS to the question of killing those who
interfere with him, the attorney gem
eral cites article &c of the penal code,
which says: 'fHomicide is justifiable
when necessary to suppress riot,
when the same is attempted to be
suppressed in the manner pointed out
in the code, not crime procedure, and
If in no way can be suppressed ex-
cept by taking life"
