Eated in secret plenAry session OF

cay. The date for this session, which
" i'll consider the completed treaty, has
not yet been set.

as, made public in the capitals OF the
various allied countries yesterday pro.

sibility for the inception or conduct
Of the war.
Taft or Hughes on Jury.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Either
Charles Evans Hughes or William
Howard Taft may be the American
iudge in the international tribunal
TO try the former kaiser, it was be-
lieyed here today. The nomination
will probably be made by President
Wilson and it may be submitted TO
congress for confirmation. Emu
Root was also mentioned as posi-
bility for American judge. Chlel
Justice White, it is believed, would
not wish to make long Journey
over seas. Lord Reading, chief JUS
tice of England, is regarded as the
likeliest British candidate.
The scene Of the trial probaply
will be Geneva of the seat OF the
league of nations, according to be
lief here. Attorneys for William
II Hohenzollern would have good
grounds for protest against trial
in Brussels or Paris, it was pointed
out.
The five judges, representing the
United States, Great Britain, ltaly
Japan. and France, working without
legal precedents will be required to
rule on evidence and pass judgment
and sentence on the arch-cr1mlnals
of history, with the code OF justice
and morality as their only guides.
A general course of procedure Will

five judges, it is believed.
