HAGUE CHOSEN SEAT
FOR LEAGUE TRIBUNAL
Jurists Unanimous in Selection.
Slow Task to Create Com
petent Court.

THE HAGUE. June 25 (by the AS
sociated Press) The commission of
jurists in session here for the forma =
tion of permanent court of inter-
national justice. as provided for in
the league of nations covenant, has
unanimously decided that this court
shall be located at The Hague.
Those who have believed it easy
to create a competent high court of
nations find striking refutation of
their views at The Hague peace pal
ace. Although the jurists have been
in session for week and have made
considerable progress in the exchange
of views, there has not been a single
decision, aside from selecting a To-
cation, nor have they agreed to the
draft of any part of the plan. They
are, however, optimistic of final re-
suits.
The commission hoped to take up
the subjects one by one. but the ques-
tions are SO interviewer that it was
found better to discuss everything
before deciding definitely on any
thing.
Life tenure for the judges was at
tackled 1t was argued that this
might lead to the high court being
burdened eventually with men past
the useful age. who would decline to
retire.

Money flows as freely as water in the

get into mischief. The papers are full
of accounts of robberies and automo-
bile accidents. The crowds were enor-

mendations of the committee of 21'

en- Democrats and seven representa-
tives of the Independent Voters as
sociation, which met in Fargo yester-
day afternoon and evening, conclud-
ing its labors shortly after o'clock
this morning.
The conventions of the major po-
litical parties will be restricted to par
ty men whS are opposed to Social
ism as typified by the Nonpartisan
league, and both parties will indorse
tickets of candidates made up of men
representative of the independent cleo
torate of the state.
Harmonious action in the legislat-
i've districts to the end that all anti
Socialist voters may unite on q sin
gle ticket of legislative candidates in
opposition to the league candidates is
urged by the committee Of 21.
In the state convention of the ma
jor parties, held in the same city on
the same day, it is proposed that joint
action be taken in the Endorsement
of candidate for justice Of the su-
preme court, and for the Is district
court judgeships to be filled this year.

Justices and the superintendent being
on nOnpartisan ballots.

vention acting Independently.
On the question of county tickets
the committee of 21 suggests that
nonpartisan county conventions be-
held, inasmuch as county office cleo
tions are on a nonpartisan ballot, to
the end that the entire working force
of the opponents of Socialism may be
concentrated.
