alterations will be open to the public.
This matter will be thoroughly taken
up, and some decision will DOUBTLESS
be reached before tonight. While
there is yet a probability of the adop-
ton of the report which was made
Thursday and which is a statement
of fact concerning both sides, it was
said last night there is a strong pos
sibIlity of two papers being submitted
to the Senate.
No meeting of the board was held
yesterday, owing to the fact that Dr..

The British authorities, who seized Captain Won Papen's correspondence at Falmouth are not worried by pos- sible protests, as his safe conduct em- braced only the person of the Ger man military attache. Captain Won Papen did not carry any papers or correspondence from the German en- bassy in Washington, but he had a large number of letters from indi- viduals for delivery in Germany
 Thus far nothing comparable with
 the document found in the possession
 of James F. Archibald on his ar
 rival at Falmouth in the latter part of August have been found among the
 seized papers.
 Captain Won Papen has sailed for Rotterdam on board the Noordam leaving some of his papers in the hands of the authorities, who vii decide later on their final disposi- | tion.

PAN-AMERICAN DAY
 AT MOUNT VERNON
Delegates to Pay Visit to Home
 and Tomb Of Washington

Washington, Jan 6.-This was Pan American Day at Mount Vernon. Practically every delegate to the Pan- American Scientific congress accepted the invitation to visit the home and tomb of Washington, the American in whose honor more statues have been erected in Latin America, perhaps, than any other.
 The attendance at different sectional meetings of the congress in the fore noon was almost up to the average, but the greatest interest shown was in the excursion, participated in this af- ternoon not only by the delegates but by visiting women and others.
 Wilson to Speak Tonight.
 The chief point of interest for all today, however, was the address of President Wilson on the program for tonight. The demand for seats has been so great that instead of in the Pan-American building the president will speak in the larger hall of the Daughters of the American Revolu- ton building.
 Dr. Jose Matos, professor of inter national law in the faculty of law and notarial practice of Guatemala, urged at the section on international law, a broader field for teaching. He ad- vocated a partial codification of inter- national law and warned against the dangerous doctrine that extreme necessity may determine the just or unjust character of an act and may originate law"
 Should Teach Rudiments.
 He said the rudiments of interna- tional law should be taught in connec- tion with civil studies in the elemen- tary and secondary schools "They should be taught also," he added, lin military academies, army quarters and Ia Dor circles, supplementing this with a study of the various conventions which regulate the laws and usages of warfare.
 "Confidence and reliableness in the ultimate triumphs of international law should be instilled in the minds of the students, thus preparing public opinion in favor of the establishment of the permanent court of arbitration which should settle all difficulties among the states, whatever their character, and from the de jure' standpoint rather than from the standpoint of the amicable adjuster"
