COURT
Movement to Forward Set
Element of National
Disputes.

Washington, Dec 15.-To pro-
mote the cause of an international
court of justice, the American So
ciety for the Judicial Settlement of
International Disputes met at the
New Willard hotel today and began
what promises to be highly notable
conference. The prominence of the
wide public attention to the delibera-
tons of the conference, the sessions
of which will last three days. Presi-
dent Taft, who is honorary president
of the society, heads the list of
speakers, which also includes Secre-
tary of State Knox, Senator Elihu
Root. Dr.. Charles w. Eliot of Har-
ward, Judge Simeon E. Baldwin of
Connecticut, Joseph II. Choate, Rep
resentative Richard Bartholdt of
Missouri, Thomas Nelson Page, the
noted author William Dudley Foulke
of Indiana. and JOnkheer j. LoudOn,
the Netherlands minister.
The purpose of the American So
ciety for the Judicial Settlement of
International Disputes is distinctly
different from the specific aims Of
other peace societies. 1t does not
confine it's efforts to a propaganda
for world peace Or for general dis
armament. It's mission is to provide
the machinery by which these two
desirable objects may become pos
sible. Therefore it is working for
the establishment of an international
court of arbitral justice, as recon-
mended by the second Hague con-
ference, and the creation of a world
wide sentiment that will compel
governments to appeal in all matters
to this proposed court, instead of re-
sorting to warfare.

North Yakima, Wash, Dec. 10
That the Northern Pacifics fight
against the North Coast railroad has
not ended in North Yakima was dis
closed tonight when Attorney Ira P.
Englehart, representing the former
line, said that if the council passed
the franchise for First avenue and
the North Coast built so as to block
entrance to Northern Pacific ware
houses the case would be carried to
the courts.
Despite this statement that the
franchise may bring a legal battle
the $50 citizens present at the mass

club and business mems association
passed resolution ratifying the ac-
ton of their executive boards recon-
mending a franchise acceptable to
the North Coast.

JURY OF WOMEN
AHEAD Of MEN
Presiding Judge Says They
Are Superior in All
Respects.

Olympia, Wash, Dec. 4.-Sitting
their hats, five prominent Olympia
women listened all afternoon and un-
til late last night to the testimony
and the arguments Of the lawyers
who are trying the case Of A. Koch,
a milkman, against Fouls & Garfield,
street contractors. Koch complains
that blast set off by the contractors
caused his team to run away and do
damage to the extent of $10.05.
Six women were called, but Mrs.
E. B. Graves, president of the HUI

lature last November, and the Rev.
Geneva Lake, one of the few or

! With the exception of Mrs. Graves
| the court refused to excuse any of
the women called. although each Of
fered an excuse varying from not be-
ing a taxpayer or a resident of Olym-
MIA To the sin1pIe Inst because of
woman. The afternoon and night
sessions of the court were both
crowded by a curious thrOng of on
lockers, who laughed every time
there was the slightest excuse and
kept the court continually calling
them to order.

hour the women returned a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff. awarding the
full amount of damages asked for.
The verdict was reached only after
much arguing among the jurors, dur

greatly excited.
