POWERS CONFER
TO FRAME. CODE
WILL DECIDE ON LAWS FOR
NAVAL WARFARE
United States, Great Britain and Japan
Agreed on Most Important of
Proposals, and France
May Support
[By Associated Press.I

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The conference of
the powers called by Great Britain for
the framing of code of laws for naval
warfare and for the formation of the
international prize court recommended
by The Hague congress was opened at
the foreign office today.
With an interval for the Christmas
holidays 1t is expected the conference
will continue until about February l.
At the request of the British gov
ernment the powers which accepted in
vitations to take part in the conference
have forwarded list of subjects which
they consider should be discussed.
The United States, France, Great
Britain, Germany, Italy Austro- Hun
gary, Russia, Spain, Holland and Japan
will be represented. The American
delegates are Rear Admiral Charles II.
Stockton and Prof. George Grafton
Wilson of Brown university.
Great Britain will be represented by
the earl of Desart and Capt. Charles
l.. Otley, director of naval intelligence
and secretary of the committee Of i'm
perial defense.
An address of welcome was delivered
by Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey.
AT the suggestion of Germany the
powers have submitted their views on
various points.
The United States, Great Britain and
Japan are agreed, in principle at least,
on the most important proposals. and
they may be expected to work in ac--
cord, with the probable support OF
France. There are wide differences of
opinion between these powers and the
other six countries represented.
Great 6ritain's Policy
Great Britain stands alone in sup
porting the rights of a belligerent to
search neutral merchantmen proceed
ing to an enemy's port under the escort
of a warship flying the same flag.
She claims the right of search under
all circumstances, while the other
powers contend the guarantee of
neutral power should be sufficient TO
protect it's vessels from molestation.
It is probable, however, Great Britain
will concede this in return for some
point she considers more essential.
Great Britain is desirous of abolish
ing contraband entirely; America and
Japan do not go so far, but they would
agree if only munitions Of war should
be declared contraband.
The continental powers will urge the
continuation of the present system,
under which the belligerents declare
what is contraband.
Great Britain. Japan and America
agree on the method of blockading,
contending for the right to seize block
ade runners at any time or place. This
is opposed to the continental view that
only warships actually engaged in
blockading have the right to seize YES
sells.
These same three powers opposed the
continental contention that belliger-
ent has a right to destroy seized YES
sells before trials, as was done, for in
stance, by Russia with British mer-
chantmen during the late war.
The conference Will differ on the re-
sponsibiity of a neutral power for
shin leaving one of its ports as a mer-
chantman and afterward being trans

SACRAMENTO, Dec. AIN voting
their approval of senate constitutional
amendment No. 16, increasing the pay
of members of the legislature to $1,000
for a session, the people of California
are said to have unknowingly given to
the ten Republican presidential cleo
tors of this state an unsolicited and
unexpected present of $1,000 cash.
Secretary Cooper of the governor S
office, while going through the political
code, ran across a section with which,
although familiar, he had not had oc-
casion to recall for some time. The
section is 1872, and reads:
ELECTORS, presidential, shall receive
the same pay and mileage as is allowed
members of the assembly"
The meaning of section 1921 is plain.
1t provides that electors shall be paid
exactly what members of the assembly
receive. Amendment No. 16, adopted at
the last election provides that the COM
pensation of legislators shall be $1,000
for the legislative session.

Popular Athlete and Sweetheart at
Stanford Defy Parental obiec-

In San Jose

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. A.
Cupid won a signal victory over the
sage advice of parents here today when
Robbins Little, a we'll known Stanford
athlete, who came from Pasadena, and
Miss Norine Graves of Whittier quick
ly left the campus and were married in
San Joes.
The couple have been sweethearts
since entering the university, and ear
lier in the semester both left college
and returned to their home in the
southern part of the state with the in
tention of being married.
Their parents, however, said no, and
sent them back to the university.
Today they took things into their
own hands, hastily gathered few inti-
mate friends, journeyed to San Jose
and had the knot tied by Rev. Davis
Gresham in Trinity church.
Little was a popular and prominent
man while in college. He played both
baseball and Rugby with ability, and
in his freshman year captained the
Cardinal Baby" fifteen In the annual
game with California.
Directly after the wedding the newly
married couple left San Jose for San
Miguel in Monterey county, where their
honeymoon will be spent. Little in
tends entering the cattle business in

Sturdy Little Vessel Known as 500

Many Fittings Float
Ashore

~ II. JOHNS, N. F.. Dec. 4.-Wreckage
which has come ashore at Cape
~ Race leaves little room for doubt
that the sturdy little steamer 500 City,
which for twenty years piled as an
excursion vessel on the great lakes,
went down with her crew in a gale
that dashed the Newfoundland coast
two days this week.
The steamer was in command of
Capt. John G. Dillon of Brooklyn, for
merly commander of the United States
government transport Missouri.
The exact number of the crew is in
doubt. 1t is known, however. that not
fewer than eighteen men were on
board, and it has been reported that
the crew was increased recently to
twenty eight men.
The 500 City was sold recently by
the Indiana Transportation company
to Felix Jackson of Velasco, Texas,
and was being taken to New Orleans,
where it had been planned to put her
into service between that city and
Texas ports.
She carried no passengers. She was
first to have been overhauled in New

The 500 City sailed from Michigan

port she took on coal and added four
men to her crew.
Up to that time the steamer was in
charge of Capt. F. V. Dority of Mil

She was last reported at Quebec,
November IA. A week later, when
nothing had been heard from her, much
anxiety was felt, and on Monday last
the vessel was listed by the Maritime
Exchange among the missing.

Today a deck cabin and fittings and
sixteen life preservers came ashore.
These all bore the name 500 City or
other marks identifying them as be-

During the day life buoys, deck
boards and other gear unquestionably
belonging to the steamer were washed
ashore.
The 500 City was of 44S tons net and
was built at West Bay City, Mich. in
1885, She was valued at $4,000 and
hailed from Chicago.
From the first she was used as an
excursion steamer on Lakes Huron and

Herald yesterday in connection with
the Christmas dinner, entertainment
and gift distribution by Robert p. Lee
chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy.
Mrs. j. e. Wilson as chairman of a
special committee of the chapter vis-
tied The Herald Office and on behalf of
the women constituting the chapter s
membership in the city, asked that
some work be assigned them in con-
nection with the children'S celebration
to be held at the Y. M. c. A. building
and Simpson auditorium December %.
Mrs. Ernest e. Wood, president of the
chapter (Mrs. Wilson being first vice
president, and both being members of
the special committee), added her wish
that the chapter be allowed to do its
share in the big undertaking which
will make thousands of children happy.
An initial donation of $40 was made
by the chapter to the fund, and semi
'ficially donations of. cakes, dressed
dolls English walnuts and other arti-
cles were promised.
Robert e. Lee chapter has for a long
time rendered much transformations
service in a benevolent way for worthy
unfortunate residents here, and the
committees action is simply in further
ance of the charitable practices of the
organization in the past.
