BIG LAW MEETING
Session Will Be Held in january
Many Prominent Speakers.
CBy Associated Press.) }

Washington, Dec. 26.-Plans for the
second annual meeting OF the Amer
IiCan Institute of International Law,
comprising five delegates from each
of the national societies of the twen-
ty-one American states, to be held
in Havana beginning Jan. 20, are we'll
under way. a meeting surprising in
importance even that of last year is
anticipated. DIR. James Brown Scott,
president OF the institute, and DR..
Alexandra Alvarez OF Chile, secre-
tary general, who is now in Wash
ington, are working on the program,
which is expected to be announced
shortly.
The meeting is to be held in Hav-
ana at the invitation Of the Cuban
government, which has planned the
expense. Many sources of entertain
ment have already been arranged,
such as a gala day at the race track
and the opera, trip through the
country, and an excursion to Ma
tanzas. The morning sessions of the
conference are to be held in the
academy of sciehces, the afternoon at
the university while the evenings
are to be given over to social events.
At the first meeting, which was
held in Washington last year, in con-
junction with the Pan American con-
Ivention, the very pronouncement as
to the rights and duties of nations
was drawn up. which received wide
spread notice at the time. This pro-
vided in the main that states. whether
large or small, have the right of eX-
istence and self-defense, so long as
neither infringed on the rights of
other states, that none was entitled
to violate international law and that
If one did 1t was the moral duty of
the others to protest energetically.

made today by Sen. P. j. McCumber

Sportsmen Stand For

Recommendations backed by sports
men of the northwestern section OF the
state, framed at a meeting in Grand
Forks, were today transmitted to J. T.
Purcell Of Fargo, secretary Of the state
game board.
They include:
That the season be opened on Sept:

shall close on Nov 2, and that the bag
limit per day be reduced from ten
covers the chicken problem only.
|. That the duck season open on Sept.
20, and close Dec. /, instead of opening
on Sept. z.
A resolution in the form of a rec
ommendation to the state legislature
is also presented, urging that the liz
cense fee of 81 be increased to $1.50,
and that the additional so cents be
placed in fund to support the eradi-
cation of crows and crows eggs in
North Dakota. This recommendation
was adopted following the report Of
ALI Eastgate of Harrisburg.
Mr.. Eastgate stated that he recently
completed an investigation for the
government, during which he discov-
cred that crows destroy more prairie
chickens and eggs in one season than
all the hunters and other destroying
factors combined.
Mr.. Eastgate also told of the value
of prairie chickens to the farmer,
claiming that each chicken, from the
time it is Matched until it reaches
the stage of maturity. consumes two
, and one-half bushels of insects.

BRAID IS
IN LAND
OFLIVING
Reported Death of Great
Golfer Case of Mis-
taken Identity

New York, Dec. 26.-Followers Of
golf throughout the United States and
and Canada will be glad to learn that
the reported death of James Braid,
the famous Scotch professional was
based upon a case Of mistaken 1den-
tity and that Braid is very much alive
and looking forward to the time when
conditions abroad will permit him to
visit this country and play in a series
Of exhibition matches.
Early in the month a short dis
patch from London announced that
James Braid, the famous golfer, had
been killed while boarding a moving
train in the Waterloo Station. 1t fur
ther stated that Braid had been
thrown backwards from the train and
had died on the way to the hospital,
apparently from q fractured skull. The
report was given wide publicity and it
was not until recently that 1t was
learned that the man killed was not
the open champion of 1901-5-6-7-S-1O.
The James Braid who was killed in
the manner described was q profess
sional golfer employed by the South
sea Club and so far as known no
relative to the James Braid who with
Ray, Vardon, ]. III. Taylor and one or
two other players. stand out as the
most famous exponents Of the ancient
and honorable game.
The first day of the new year will
be featured in sport by an inter-
sectional football game to be played
at Pasadena, Calr in which the elev-
ems of the University of Oregon and
the University of Pennsylvania will be
opponents. The contest will involve
a travelling mileage of close to ten
thousand miles and this will probably
establish record for a single foot
ball game. Late in the season of 1915
Syracuse university team made a trip
to the Pacific coast. winning from
the Oregon Aggies % to 0 and occi-
dental College So to 0. Last New
Years day (1916) Brown played
Washington State at Pasadena and
was defeated IA to 0.
The game between Pennsylvania and
Oregon Is likely to be more evenly
contested as the Eastern and Far
Western university elevens appear to
be equally matched so far as can be
weights and methods of offense and
defense. Several of the players on
each team stand out in their respect
i've sections as gridiron stars of high
caliber. If the contest is fought out
on a dry field it is likely that both
fullback Howard Berry, OF Pennsyl-
vania, and Shy Huntington, the Ore
gon quarterback, will shine in the
open field running and field goal kick
ing,
Both teams include other impressive
players and their records are above
the average. Oregon has not been de-
feated this year although held to a no
score tie by Washington. Pennsyl-
vania, defeated by Swarthmore and
Pittsburgh and tied by Dartmouth,
came very strong at the close Of the
season and should be in excellent
shape for the hard game that Oregon
will uncover against the Quaker
eleven. The records of the two teams
for the recently completed season Is
as follows:

causes the coughing. This can nearly
always be done by taking Chamber
