The declaration that international

The courts Of Great Britain, begin

Mansfield In iTG4. have held that the
law Of nations Is part OF the common

stone supported this doctrine In his
classic Commentaries This doctrine
holds good as well In the United States
as In Great Britain, a fact to which
both Thomas Jefferson aud Alexander
Hamilton bore convincing testimony.
In the lifetime OF the present gener-

HURRICANE TO
AFFECT PRICES
Much Of Strawberry Crop
Has Been Destroyed in
Storms in Central States

As a result Of the recent hurricanes
in the central states, with the result
ant loss Of life and destruction OF
property, the strawberry crop, which
should be at its best during June, has
been almost largely wiped out, and
prices which have been gradually
lowering, are bound to take a sharp
rise very soon, according to F. L. Grif-
fin, manager of the Park, Grant &
Corrigan company of this city.
Although the entire crop has not
been destroyed. much of the rru,t
which remains is soft and pulpy, and
not as desirable as the fuet fruit. Re-
Gently four carloads Of Strawberries
consigned to the local concern, were
rejected by an inspector at Minneapo-
lis. because of the soft condition of
the fruit.
