USE OF THE AUTHORITIES
DISCUSSION OF ARBITRATION

Much interest has been excited in diplo-
matte and legal circles here by the pub
LEGATION In the Columbia Law Review of a
charge of plagiarism against Prof. James
Brown Scott. solicitor of the Department
of State, in connection with his hook on
The Hague conference of 1899 and 1907.
The charge was made by DR.. Joseph P.
Chamberlain. professor of international
law in the University of California, who
by the aid of the deadly parallel col
umn sought to show that Prof. Scott had
made extensive use of material taken
from John Bassett Moore's works on ar
bitration without giving credit therefor.
When. Prof. SCOTS attention was called
to this charge today he answered it by
producing a copy of his own books and
indicating that he had either cited his
authority in case of exact quotation or in
other cases had stated that he was con-
densing or synopsizing the material.
Prof. SCOTS Statement.
Prof. SCOTS own statement follows:
The purpose of the parallel columns
drawn by Prof. Chamberlain is to show
a dishonest use of the work of Merign-
hac No candid man, / believe. can read
the chapter which is thus criticised with
out perceiving that such charge is base
less. Considerations of space necessitat-
ed that the account of arbitration in the
ancient and MEDIEVAL world should be
summary. This summary was made
largely by means Of direct quotation from
Merignhac coupled with much abbreviat-
ed paraphrasing to which attention was
specifically called.
For the benefit of those who may read
only this statement, permit me to set
forth a few sentences taken from the
chapter specifically criticised.
"At the head of the section devoted to
arbitration in the ancient world, the fol-
lowing note is appended:
: The instances of arbitration referred
to in this section are taken from Merign-
hac, as translated in Moore's Interna-
tional Arbitrations, vol. V, PIP. 4S2l ct seq.
In a subsequent part of the same chap
ter 1t is stated:
To quote again. rather than to para
phrase. Merignhac, vol l, p. 199.'
Therefore. as presidents, / shall emu
merate briefly and in summary form
various instances of arbitration of the
middle ages Ib. Dol
ITO this statement is appended the fol-
lowing footnote:
For fuller statement OF the instances
and specific references to sources, see
Moores International Arbitrations, vol.
V. PIP. 1925, 1882
In view of the specific references made
to works of authority upon which the &C
count is professedly based, | hope that no
one else who does me the honor to read
the book will agree with Prof. Chamber
lain in thinking that there has been an
improper use of authority

DR.. ChamberIain's Criticism.

Prof. Scott was member of the Ameri-
can delegation to the second Hague con-
ference. His book, which is the subject
of Prof. Chamberlain's review. is made
up of the lectures he has been giving al
Johns Hopkins University.
In his review of Prof. SCOTS book
Prof. Chamberlain says:
THE work consists of two large vol
ur1es. One volume is a compilation OF
documents and the other (besides con-
tanning more documents) has 751 pages
by the author. but of these pages about
one-third (some 800 pages is quoted
from documents and the writings OF
others.

NEW YORK March 5.-As had been
expected by all experienced traders, the
stock market was very little If at all af-
fected by the declaration of the general
strike of union labor in Philadelphia.
Strike news rarely upsets stock. at least
at the beginning of serious trouble The
Philadelphia situation calls for close at
tenton, however. because of the menac-
ing possibility involved that the strike
may spread on the issue of unionism VS..
the open shop.
The only result of the latest develop
ment, so far as the stock market was
concerned. was perhaps to impart hest
tsnt tone to the list and to cause a par
tial reduction of long commitments by
cautious persons who had in mind, also.
the past disturbances of the market In
recent weeks over the Monday session of
the United States Supreme Court.
Usual Rumors Circulated.
The usual rumors were in circulation
this morning that the court would hand
down the American Tobacco decision
next Monday, but it is doubtful il many
persons believed 1t. Moreover. the mar
ket at least during the greater part of
the session. manifested much less nerv-
BUSINESS on this score than 1t has done
of late at the end of the week. Prices
generally sagged fractionally after the
opening but the tone was firm and the
dealings were SO light that bearishly dis
posed spectators were afraid to make
short sales.
Marketwise news other than that re-
ferred to was of mixed sort. Bank
clearings during the week increased al
most 10 per cent throughout the country
in comparison with the corresponding
week last year, but the commercial
agencies reported an apparently increas-
ing hesitancy and conservatism in bust
ness circles over the price situation, the
crop prospects and the important matters
impending In Congress and the courts.
Big Pig Iron Production.
Pig iron production during February
was at a greater daily rate than in
January. and as this production was on
a dull market, it may point to an accu-
mutation of stocks which will not De
of immediate help to iron prices. For
eign exchange made an advance of a
half cent during the week, but the cir
cumstance of propitious augury. per-
haps. is the decline in merchandise i'm
ports at this port during the week. They
fell of about $S.oUO,OOO from the CORE
spending week last year, but they still
imports since January / to about 49,
100000. in comparison with the figures
for the corresponding period In 1909.
In the investment market the feature
was the announcement that the B. a. o.
would forthwith offer at least $2O.OOO, 900
of new bonds. At the moment the in
vestment market seems to be strong, but
in view OF the weakness in New York
city bonds on the approaching new is

effect of the f1otation of new securities is
going to be-

CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March 5.-Despite a prepon-
do Of hon y-ict he han
ket made a substantial advance during
early trading today after opening I'M
changed to &c below, compared with the
previous close. The bulge was due to a
mild stampede among shorts brought out
by moderate buying of the May delivery
by commission houses. After opening at
LIPS to 1.13A the May delivery advanced
to 1.13ts. The more distant options fol-
lowed closely the lead of May. Lower
cables, mild weather in the southwest and
heaviness of the cash grain were factors
responsible for the easy opening.
Corn advanced sharply early in the ses-
sion, owing to buying by smaller shorts
inspired by demand by a leading elevator
63a4, after opening a shade to 1saA lower
at 634 to 63ss. The decline at the start
was due to the weakness of wheat and to
poor demand for the cash grain. After
opening easy. in sympathy with wheat
and corn, the oats market developed
other grain. Trading was slow. May sold
up to 45A. after opening ~ to 1saA lower
at 453s to 45Aa45as.
Provisions failed to respond to scent
advance in live hogs. with the market
developing considerable weakness early
in the day owing to liberal realizing
sales. Pork showed the greatest weak
ness and declined 221a cents from the
opening mark. Initial quotations were
unchanged to cents higher, the May
follows.
