An appeal has been made 10 Presi

that has already been done b. the

20 supplant that institution but
rather 10 supplements it's work by
creating an international congress
from which would emanate a code
Of international law.
international law as now under

It Is based entirely upon precedent
and Is interpreted variously accord

an international congress to meet at
stated intervals with duly accred-
tied representatives from the vari-
Gus adhering governments and en-
powers this congress to work ont a
6xed and definite international code
which could be applied in practice
before the Hague tribunal whenever
occasion arose. President Roosevelt
has expressed himself as heartily in

Speaking Of treaties the extra ses-
sion discussion has now assumed
the phase where it is definitely an
nounced in a good manv papers that
40 extra session will be called after
the 4th of March at which the japan
ese school question with its result
ing Japanese treaty, the Santo Dom
lingo treaty and currency reform NAV
all be calmly and liestrely discussed
and disposed of withoutfuss or hurry.
How correct this forecast will prove
can Do told better after the 4th of
March. 1t isquite certain that there
can be no serious attempt to consider
the Santo Domingo treaty at the pre-
sent session. The japanese situa-
ton is in such shape that the Pre-
sident and the State Department
probably would rather have Con
gress out OF the way while the de-
tails were being settled. Treaties,
OF course, are always discussed in
executive session and equally, of
course, the reports of these discus
sions are printed in the next issue
Of the newspapers to the inconveni-
ence OF the State Department and the
pleasure OF such senators as have
anything to gain by muddying the
waters Of diplomacy. The nego-
tiations between this government
and that OF Japan are now in such
shape that q treaty can very probab-
ly be framed that will meet the ideas
Of both governments and eventually
get through the Senate. But it
will take several weeks more of de-
liberation and negotiation before
this solution is definitely reached.

BANK STATEME NT.


REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ST. MARYS
at Leonardtown IN the State of MARYLAND.
at the close of business, January 26, 1907
The San Francisco call., 1907-02-05

The card today is fully as unpromis-
ing as was yesterdays. Eight maiden
two year-olds will make up the field
in the opener, a three and half fur
long dash. The Griffin entry, Wilmore
and Adena, should pull down the purse
Jeremiah may be counted upon as g
keen contender. Irish Mike may upset
things. He has not yet run up to his
work
Selecting winner from the second
field looks to be a hazardous undertak-
ing. The Reprobate has speed, but is a
rank gutter. Lillitus had speed his
last out over distance of ground. Vim
centio probably will be in the money
Red Era showed speed his only out.
Brush Up, on his third to Supreme
Court and Dollie Dollars, looks best in
the third. Hainault ran we'll his last
out and is likely to be the contender
Box Elder has been showing speed in
his recent starts and may get some of
the money.
Although Shady Lads last race was
bad, he should win the fourth, as he is
the class of the race and is reported to
is the horse he will have to beat. The
latter has been running very consistent
~ Chief Whitman is speedy and is
likely to be sharp contender.
Lucian has been showing good form
and should be able to take the measure
of the field he will go up against in
the fifth. I'm Joe is running in i'm
proved form and might be the surprise
of the race at good odds Graphite
last effort was bad. Baker has an out
side chance. Lazell does not appear to
be of much account. The Only Way
has speed, but looks to be up against
it here. The company looks a little
too good for Metlakatla at this dis
tance,
Al Lindley appears to be only bit
the best in the sixth. Johnny Lyons
could win with a good ride. Convent
Bell is running where she belongs and
will make a better showing than on
her last out. when she was up against
the real thing Rose Cherry has speed.
The Rowell pair are not much, ap-
parently.

PLANS A PARADISE
FOR WILD GAME
AND HUNTER
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI.

MARTINEZ, Feb. 4.-One of the
largest projects along the line of con-
verting marsh lands into an artificial
paradise for wild game and the hunter
has been commenced on the hunting
preserves of w. w. Richards, near Cyg-
nus station across the straits. The
owner of the land has made a careful
survey of its condition and in the carry
ing out of the scheme the locations of
ponds, sloughs and islands will be
changed at his will. The contract for
this undertaking has been let to Goosen
Bros. of CordeIia and operations al
ready have been commenced.
The project involves the huge task
of changing completely the location of
the ponds and giving the game better
feeding grounds. To make the proposed
changes Will mean the construction
of dikes in many places and the cut
ting of canals in others. The task will
be a long and costly one, but it's frui-
tion will mean the creation of one of
the finest preserves in the State

sity Athletes on the finder
Path in April


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. A.
Competition with a picked team from
the Olympic Club of San Francisco on
April 1s will be the first on the new
varsity track just being completed.
Only first places will count, as the
Olympics have difficulty in gath
ering a crew large enough to offset
the advantage the varsity would gain
through a large number of entries in
each event
The university athletic management
IS. inclined to look with favor on the
proposal of the Queensland Rugby
Union to send a picked team to the
coast next fall. 1t will soon be
brought before the executive commit
tee of the associated students.
The dates for the new series of inter-
class baseball games have been an
nounced by Coach ]. f. flanagan The
first game of the preliminaries will be
played on Saturday. when the fresh
men and sophomores will cross bats.
Under the new scheme six games
among the class squads will be
played before the finals are begun.
Scores will be kept on these contests,
and the players doing the best bat
ting will be given places on their class

of San Francisco, who owns a place
near Mark West. in this county, re-
signed as guardian Of the persons and
estates of Robert Fuller Cleveland and

tion was accepted and Buck was given
five days in which to file an accounting.
DR.. Buck was charged in the petition
for revocation Of the letters of guar
