A PAN-AMERICAN
LAW ASSEMBLY
Movement to Insure Peace Be-
tween Western States.
TENTATIVE PLANS READY.
Carnegie Endowment and a Noted
Chilean Publioist Have Been Quietly
Organizing It Conference to Be
Held In This Country.

A quiet movement begun some time
ago, looking to tightening bonds of
sympathy and interest between states
of the western hemisphere, is begin
ming to take tangible form. In the
near future it is expected pan
American conference will be held, per-
haps in Washington, although some
other American capital may be Sc
lected.
Recognizing the suspicion and dis
trust on the part Of smaller states of
Latin America toward their more pow
erful neighbors, an effort is to be
made to link together men of intelli-
gence and influence in public affairs
in the various countries for the pur-
pose of diminishing international fric-
ton and the risks of war by the crea-
ton of q pan-American international
law conference
The moving spirits in this enterprise
have been DR. James Brown Scott,
secretary of the Carnegie Endowment
For international Peace, and Senor AL
varez, noted Chilean publicist. Last
October they sent confidential notes
to public men throughout South and
Central America, outlining the scheme
for the projected conference, which
may do for the Americas what the IA
nous international law conference has
been doing for Europe.
The plan contemplates the creation
of the pan-American conference on the
basis of a membership of five interna-
tional lawyers in each of the repub-
lies These members would be select
ed by local or national and interna-
tional law societies, insuring a repre-
sentative gathering. A meeting held
in Washington last April, without at
tracing public attention, selected
members of the first conference, who
will give place to those hereafter
elected by the various national asso-
Citations
A constitution and bylaws were
agreed upon and have been sent to
the temporary members, with a re-
quest that they submit amendments
and express opinions. Members are
|also invited to secure expressions from
their local institutes as to the proper
|time and place for the first pan-Amer-
|ican international conference, to be
held some time in 1913.
To further the plan n special edi-
/ |tion in Spanish of the magazine of the
Carnegie endowment is being sent to
1all OF the American republics.

from him frequently, but when she
4ailed to receive her customary letter

warden Informed Patrick of the re-
Eeipt Of the letter, and he replied that
be had been so busy with his new

wife"
Colonel Scott said Patrick was the
picture Of health despite his long con-
inement including five years in the
Heath house.

AS Henry was batting up again he
felt a sharp pain in one Of his feet,

Its teeth In his toe. He tried to kick
