Case Explains Award
ARBITRATION COMMISSIONS ACT
When FL Salvador Asked for Arbitra-

Iowa City, June 10.-John P. Irish,
collector of the port of San Francisco,
against San Salvador who was awarded
$4,000 attorneys fees by the arbitra-
ton commission, has written to friends
in Iowa City, his former home. defend
ing the award Of 100000 to him as
attorneys fees. This amount had been
criticised in some quarters as excess
sive and the government of San Sal
vador has stated that it would not
pay the amount AWARDED.
Attorney Irish says: THE American
claimants paid Ell Salvador large sum
to navigate Jiquilisco bay and built
a seaport thereon After a great eX-
penditure in development. and after the
United States had spent 100000 in
making a photographic survey and
mariners chart of the bay, the enter
prise went thru waiting period, in
which it was sustained by assessment
of the concessionaries. When, finally, it
paid a profit with prospect of steady

was granted, and she chose a majority
of the arbitral court The decision
went against her as was right and
just.
Now 1 find exceptions taken to the
attorneys fee, which is declared to be
unprecedented. Arbitratons are by
treaty In the treaty for this one, which
was solemnly ratified by the president
and congress of Ell Salvador, it was
expressly stipulated that the arbitral
court should award an attorneys fee,
payable in the same medium and col
lectible by the same means as the in
demnity.
Under the law of nations, if the ar
bitrators had paid not attention to
that stipulation in the treaty, the whole
judgement would have been voidable
Il dislike to discuss my personal or
professional matters overmuch, but
would like the public discussion of my
work to be guided by some knowledge
of the subject discussed if discussion
there must be. The value of my SER
vices was passed upon by the highest
court known to nations, and the ia
nous lawyers and jurists who COM
posed it are probably as well able to
judge as lawmen who know nothing
of the difficulties Of the case or of the
sinister and treacherous nature of the
defense.
No more just Judgment was ever
rendered and national self-respect will
influence Americans in supporting their
government in unfolding the policy of
arbitration and the enforcement of the
rights of our countrymen against the
semi civilized and wholly predatory
governments that control many of the
Latin American republics. Very truly,

to the powers of the county conven-
ton yesterday seems to have been the
cause of the withdrawal of the Hardin
township delegation from the conven-
ton and general misunderstanding
among several other delegates. 1t ap-
pears that the Hardin township COM
mitteeman Mr.. Frank D., Peet, after the
result of the primary election had been
declared made a statement in the ma
ture of a minority report, alleging that
certain Irregularities had been dis
covered in the voting In Jackson and
E,ldora townships viz; that the ballot
box had been opened and the counting
commenced before the polts We're
closed. No fraud was discovered or
claimed. A motion was then made and
seconded that the report Of the COM
mittee be approved and the ballots of
Eldora and jackson be thrown out.
Chairman NJ. j. Furry refused to enter
tain the motion ruling that it was out
of order in that the convention had
no power to approve or reject any re-
port made by the central committee;
that the convention had power only to
select delegates to the state convention
and had nothing to do with the result
of the vote or the action of the COM
..littee.
1t has been discovered that several
other precincts in the county com
mapced counting before the poIlS were
closed and that the custom has been
followed for several years past. there
being nothing in the primary rules now
in force forbidding such a practice
savors Of fraud and should be forbid
den. Others say it facilitates the re-
turns and does no one any harm as
al are on the same footing and al,
interested parties are represented.
But all are agreed that so long as no
fraud was claimed, it would be inn
poletic and unjust for precinct rep
resented by a defeated candidate to
ask to throw out the vote Of other pre-
cincts on the mere ground of Irregular
ity and thus change the result and
throw the nomination to their candi-
date.
