against %foraging, say a writer in the
National Tribune. In disregard of the
order a New York boy came walking
into camp one day with a big rooster
under his arm. His Captain put him
under arrest n took him before the
colonel.

colonel.

the President and the justices of the
supreme court, extended a hearty well
come to the jurists and lawyers from
all the American nations who assem-
Lied in Rio today for the opening OF
the Pan-American conference OF jur-

solicitor of the department of state,
and Prof. John Basset Moore, an emf
nent authority on International law,
are the official representatives of the
United States government.
The conference, it is expected, will
initiate the first formal effort to initi.
ate a code of international law, to
which all the American states will sub
scribe, and which eventually may be-
come the basis of the administration
of the great international tribunal for
which peace advocates have been
striving.

out all classes of voters had been noti-
fled of the intention to hold such q
meeting. The statement is made that
I. M. Fuller, one of the city commis-
sioners, was present at the meeting
referred to, and that he stated, that
irrespective of any apparent contradic-
tions in the law, he was a democrat
and would abide by the action of the
Democratic Executive committee, and
also stated that he could say the same
thing for Mr.. Hardy. 1t is pointed out
that the idea of commissioners hold
ing for four years unless reelected,
was not though of when the commits
sion form of government was adopted.
1t is shown to be a fact that when
the commissioners received their Of
fetal commissions, they were for two
years, and that their official bonds are
for term of two years; all of which,
it is claimed, proves that the commits
sioners themselves thought their term
was two years. The issue is getting
to be a live one, and there is a
strong growing sentiment in favor Of
primary this year for mayor and
commissioners.

BETTING FAVORS

Wall street, except on the market, is
not, it seems, favorite pastime right
now. One wager of 5000 to $10O that
Speaker Champ Clark will be the NOM
inee of the Baltimore convention is
recorder. Even money is offered on
the other candidates against the field.
Another bet of $1,000 even that
President Taft would be reelected
has been made. Taken all in all,
however, the betting is very poor just
at present. Wall street men explain
this by saying that it seems fore

Baltimore, leaves little field for those
who wish to gamble on the outcome.

His neighbors in Oyster Bay, who
