WILL LAUNCH COURT OF WORLD
EIihu Root to Assist in Inauguration
Of Supreme Tribunal.

OF supreme trlpundi.
Washington.-Elihu Root, former
secretary of state, will be called upon
to assist in launching the great inter-
national supreme court provided under
the league of nations.
OF the inStrumentalities which are
to be set in motion almost immediate
ly upon the proclamation of peace, a
permanent international court of JUS
tice is regarded by the supreme coun-
Gil as of ranking Importance. COnse-
1uently, that body, through its secre-
tariat in London, already has gone as
far as possible toward creation of the
court.
Information has come that the plans
have been SO far perfected as to per-
NIT of the extension to certain inter-
national jurists of invitations to form
a managerial committee to plan de-
tails of the court and define its scope
As a beginning, only men of wide
reputation from few Of the entente
nations and the United States have
been selected, but il is probable that
additions will be made, perhaps even
great iuriSts from late enemy states,
provided their governments here to
the league. The purpose is to name
such members of the nlm,ttee sole
ly upon the basis of reputation as in
ternational lawyers and judges, which
would make it possible to include some
I.atin-American names, regardless of
the political Importance of their
nations.

tween 1OOOO,0OO,OOO and 11,OOO,OOO.OO0
marks more, besides adding funds for
building vessels.
Matthias Erzberger, minister Of
finance it is asserted, has promised
the money.
Agents have been sent throughout
Germany by the national economic min
lister to make arrangements for the
delivery Of mich cows, sheep and goats
to the entente, under the provisions
Of the peace treaty. The plan Of OPP
Grafton which has been agreed to by
the state council requires that indi-
vidual states shall deliver a given ra-
ito of their herds to the national agri-
cultural authorities.
Owners Of cattle may submit pro-
tests and may deliver sheep or goats
in place Of cows, if they prove that
cows are necessary for their nourish-
ment. Farmers are required to give
up the animals without compensation
and can be punished with fine Of
5000 marks in each case for refusal to
turn over the required stock.

ANCIENT DEED is FILED
Land Covered by It Is EARNED by
Chinamen


A deed sixty-four years old was filed
for record at Oregon City, Ore, re-
Gently, in which Frederick w. Geer
and wife, Mary Ann Geer, transferred
to John L. Hughes zoe. acres of land
in that county. The land described in
the deed is in the Wilsonville district,
and is known as a splendid farm.
1t is part Of the holdings Of the
Clackamas Hop Farm company and
is now being farmed by Chinese. It
is said that the place has been sold
to the Orientals. That portion of this
county was then in Yamhill county,
and on January II, 1856, the deed was
filed for record in the Yamhill county
recorders office.
The striking thing about the deed,
which is yellow with age, is the ink.
So legble is the writing that 1t looks
as though it were written only re-
Gently. The wording Of the form Of
conveyance is quaint.

New Statute Needed.

Mr.. Palmer said also there was great
need for a statute providing punish
ment for an individual attempting to
defraud the United States. Present
statutes, he said provided punishment
only in the event that two or more per-
sons conspire to defraud the govern
ment.
Recommendation also was made that
criminal procedure be changed to make
more simple the removal Of indicted
persons to the districts where the in
dictments were returned He described
the present system as "grievously de-
fective," and as making removal pro-
ceedings infinitely more cumbersome"
than extraditOn.
The attorney general recommended
creation of pardon and parole board
of three fully empowered to handle all
pardon and parole cases, thus relieving
the attorney generals office Of duties
(which are becoming increasingly
heavy and Onerous." Jurisdiction Of
penal institutions also should be vested
in this board, he said.

The department of justice us con-
fronted with increasingly dangerous

Palmer said In his annual report.
Mr.. Palmer did not 60 into details as
to "red" activities in general, but said
that Of the total of 365, 295 index rec
ord cards. 71.0OO Bertillon records and
1921 finger print records now In the
department, some 10000 represented
data concerning reds" and their work.
He mentioned that the department had
increased steadily its c0ntributOry
sources Of investigation, adding that
this meant better facilities for running
down persons whose lives bore marks
Of crime.
Investigation Only Begun.
Mr. Palmer said that while other
government agencies during the last
year were rounding out their labOrs in
cident to the war, his department found
itself only half way through its scores
of investigations and litigated ques-
lions. Countless hundreds of claims
growing out of the war have been made
against the government, he said, and
must be fought through the courts.
Cases In which the government seeks
to recover funds paid out through error
or fraud provide another source of
supply for litigation. Alleged infringe
ment of patent rights by the govern
ment in its manufacture of war mate
rials, as well as similar claims arising
from private manufacture of war sup
plies on the cOst-pIuS arrangement, also
puts litigation on shoulders of the de-
partment'S staff.
The department policy Of resuming
prosecution of trusts has restored to
activity other investigations and crime

eral added.
In addition to these, Mr.. Palmer said,
the department will be burdened for
months to come with its prosecution of
violators of the Sedition and selective
service acts. Under the latter. the
number of cases runs high, he said.
Department agents are engaged now In
gathering all necessary data through
records of local draft boards which
have been assembled in Washington
and prosecution of the cases will pro-
coed Immediately upon completion of
that work
Investigations and trial arguments
during the year have shown loopholes
in many statutes, Mr.. Palmer said. He
called attention to the fact that, under
existing law, it is not crime to send
letters through the mails
unless In furtherance of scheme to
defraud or as means of extortion.
Pointing out that letters threatening
personal injury or destruction Of prop
erty may be sent with impunity, he
urged revision of the law to cover such
