BY WILLIAM E. CCRTIS.

Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
In the spring of 1905 Prof. James B. Scott
of Columbia University, Neys York for
merly of the University of Illinois, and now
solicitor of the Department of State at
washington, proposed to Prof. George w.
kirchwey, dean of the law school of Co.
lumbia University, that they should start
society for the promotion of the study
of international law in the United States.
They agreed in the fundamental Importance
of educating the public to correct under
standing of those principles in international
law and practice which our country is called
upon to observe in it's relations with other
nations, especially because of the influence
public sentiment exercises upon the admin
istrative and diplomatic policy of the gov
eminent. A few weeks later the matter
was brought before the arbitration confer
ence at Lake Mohonk and was discussed
with great favor. Accordingly. call was
issued to those interested, and twenty-one
gentlemen appeared at the meeting. Oscar
5. Stratus. now Secretary of Commerce and
Labor. was asked to act as chairman, and
Prof. Scott as secretary. The meeting de-
Cded to organize a permanent society. and
appointed a committee to draft consti-
tuition and report a plan of organization.
On the 9th of December, 1906 Mr.. Stratus
at which the committee and other distin-
guished persons We're present The form
of constitution was submitted and ap=-
proved. and it was decided to call a public
meeting of those interested in international
law who approve of popular education on

PURPOSE of the Society.

The purpose of the society is threefold:
7 To develop public interest in the study
of interna tional law and to promote the es-
Establishment Of international relations on the
basis of law and justice, because as Secre-
tary Root points out in recent article, the
great body of the people OF the United
States and other self-governing nations are
gaining more and more control over leglS-
lation administration and diplomacy, and
thus render 1t more and more imperative
that they should have a just conception OF
international rights and duties rms was
never so painfully apparent as at the pres
ent moment, during the agitation and dls-
cussion of the japanese school question in
California. 1t was also painfully apparent
in 1895 when popular sympathy ana lnolg-
nation forced the United States government
into war because of the crueltles OF Gen.
Weyler and the blowing up of the Maine.
IL To publish journal, as the organ OF
the society, by means OF which penang
questions of international Importance may
be brought to the personal notice OF the
people and the public may be kept in
formed as to the progress OF events and
receive correct information concerning dip
lomatic controversies No such journal is
published in the English language. There
is one in French in Brussels--the organ of
the Institut de Droit International, a So
ciety limited to 100 members, chosen be-
cause of their eminence within the field
of international law. 1t is an organization
of SPECIALISTS, it's work Is of a Sclentihc
character and is done through permanent
committees, which prepare reports upon I'M
settled international controversies and
questions for discussion and recommends
ton at the annual meetings of the institute.
Its recommendations have in several cases
formed the basis of definite action by in
ternational conferences.
There is an international law journal pub
lished at Paris. and others in Leipsic,
Madrid and the Japanese publish one regu-
larry at TOXIC, but, strange as ii may ap-
al fhAr haS N
English language.
Nor has there been any society to pro-
mote the study of international law among
English-Speaking nations except an aSSoci-
alton for the reform and codifcation of the
law of nations which holds annual meet
ings in cities on the continent of Europe.
III. The third purpose of the American
society is to hold annual meetings in order
to bring together people from all parts OF
the country who are interested in the study
and development of international law, to
exchange ideas. to stimulate each other and
promote the agitation and discussion of in
ternatiOnal questions.

of mercy. and God speed them in their
good work.
Sons Of Veterans
Commander Entriken also paid tribute
to the Sons of Veterans and said: The time
is coming, If 1t is not already here, when
we will of necessity be obliged to rely on
younger and more vigorous physical frames
than ours to carry forward the work i'm
posed upon us by the principles of our or
der. / believe these younger men stand
ready to assist us in every way possible"
In conclusion the commander called at
tention to the matters of legislation accom-
plished and needed. He extended thanks
to the department officers and said: ITO

fighting, was arraigned in the may
or's court Tuesday evening. He
pleaded guilty to the charge and
the mayor imposed a fine of 81

In the trial it developed that
Sauer had entered the kitchen at
the Mosier place and started trou-
BILE with Mrs. Mosier. matron OF

tempted to chase him out with the
bread knife, when a general mix
up resulted. In the fight which
followed Sauer was severely cut
about the head and Mrs. Mosier
was knocked down. Sauer's arrest
followed.
At fist the case took on rather
serious aspect. However, neither

arrested, was fined and released.

Macmtllen Gives Mastery
Concert.
SMALL CROWD PRESENT
To Enjoy Great Musical
Event Last Night.
The Famous Ohio Violinist was
Ably Supported by Nine. Van
Dyke Herr Hageman.

That Marion music lovers can
scarcely appreciate the eminence
and success Of Francis Macmillen
the remarkable violinist, was de-
monstrated last night when but a
mere handful turned out to hear
his enchanting concert. Macmillen,
the name alone is significant of a
great deal, but only those who
listened to his impassioned music
last evening can really appreciate
the bigness OF the man in the
musical world
Marion IS most reliable musical
critics pronounced the concert by
all means the finest that has been
given here III many years. To de.
scribe Macmillsli's music is an i'm
possible task 1.A mere boy only
twenty-five years OF age, yet he is
musicianly. poetic, impassioned and
manly. s
Macmillen IS assisting artists were
in his class and too favorable com
ment cannot be- passed upon their
work Nine. Rosina Van Dyke
colorature soprano held the audi.
ence almost spellbound with her
rich soft tones and her work was
none less appreciated than the
master violinist. A notable feature
OF the concert was the work oi
Herr Richard IIageman at the piano
and If the audience felt such q
thing as disappointment during the
entire musicale IL was because the
artist was not heard in solo work
Macmillen opened his program
with selection from ,Mendelssohr
iand closed with a pretty variety
iof classics from Hartmann. Mozart
Blake and paganimi. Madam Var
Dyke sang from David Strauss and
Delibes.
The concert was given under the
auspices of Marion Deutscher Bund
