effect is to create for time in history
an effective international court with
all the powers of an ordinary civil
tribunal The whole trend of the con-
ference was toward subordinating the
interest of the belligerents to those of

posed this idea. She now accepts and
the conference agrees to conduct nav

statesmen express satisfaction in de-
claring IT is an important step for the
realization of their dreams of The
limitation of naval ornaments. 1t is
matter of comment that America
which IS less likely to be affected by
the new code than any other nation,
is the foremost in demanding this re-
form. The American delegates said:
I'VE are most anxious for the state Of
the worlds peace to see the disputes
arising from naval warfare minimized
as far as possible
The agreement. which to be known
as "the declaration of London was

TESTIMONY IMPORTANT
Defense Wants it to Show That No
Conspiracy Existed Between
the coopers' When Car
mack Was Killed.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 25.-Mack
Anderson, chief counsel for the de-
tense in the Cooper-Sharp trial, an
nounced this morning that Gov. Pat
terson had no objection to testifying.
The governor was the only one who
can confirm the testimony of the Col
onel and Robin that they were enroute
to the executive mansion when they
met Senator Carmack. This is a
vital point for the defense as it
disproves the conspiracy charge
or that the Coopers and Sharp were
lying in wait for Carmack to kill him.
The Colonel took the stand wheI the
trial was renewed this morn
ing, but the worst of his ordeal is over
the state having practically completed
it's cross examination. It's unlikely
that the governor will be called to the
stand before this evening as General
Brown will be cross examined by the
state at length In all effort to prove
that at the conference in the Max
well House, prior to the killing, the
Colonel said: II am going to shoot
