conviction OF persons attaching numbers
to vehicles other than those TO which the

THE HAGUE, JULY IA vote on the
principle of the Ametican proposition re-
garding the inviolabnity of private prop
erty at sea was taken today by the com
mite Of the conference dealing with the
Geneva convention. Twenty-one delegates
voted favorably, eleven were against the
measure and there was one absentee. Great
Britain. France. Russia Japan, Spain and
Portugal were In opposition. while the
triple alliance, although Germany made
reservation, was among the majority.
Belgium presented a compromise pro-
posal, but Joseph II. Choate of the Ameri-
can delegation, refused to accept il, saying
that inasmuch as a majority admitted the
principle of immunity, he could not con-
sent 70 the limitation OF this idea. espe-
cially as Great Britai- and Russia already
had declared they would not accept it in
any form. This made unanimity impossi-
BILE.
Prof. De Martens, Russa), who pre-
sided at the meeting, called attention to
the fact that, although the American propo-
sition supported by a majority Of the
votes passed, the populations OF the coun-
! tries voting against the principle was
largely In excess Of those favorng it.
