 Judge George Gray of Delaware, renowned arbitrator of international questions as we'll as national indus trial disputes, was twice honored by the Democrats of his native State as their choice for the Democratic nomination for President, first in 1904 and again in 1908,
 Already famous as a jurist and former United States Senator-he succeeded Thomas F. Bayard in 1885 and served If years in the Senate Judge Gray came into prominence as an international figure in 1898 when President Mckinley appointed him one of the Commissioners to Paris to negotiate the treaty of peace with Spain upon the conclu- sion of the Spanish-American War. The next year he was made an As sociate Justice of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Divi- sion where he remained until he reached the age of retirement.
 He was an anti-imperialist and as such, at first opposed the purchase of the Philippine Islands but later decided to approve it because he thought it the best course that could be adopted for conserving the future interests of the Filipinos. In 1898 Judge Gray was also appointed bv the President member of the Joint High Commission at Quebec and in 1900 he was made a member of the International Permanent Court of Arbitration under The Hague Con- vention.
 When the great anthracite strike of 1902, involving 147,000 miners, had created a coal famine turnout the United States and both sides seemed hopelessly deadlocked after five months of controversy, the op- orators called upon President Roose- welt to name a Commission to arbi- trate. He designated Judge Gray, chairman; Brigadier-General John M. eeEilson, Bishop Spalding of Illinois, Edward W. Parker, Thomas H. Wat kins. Edgar E. Clark and Carroll D. Wright. The Commissions efforts at conciliation were successful, both sides made concessions and the min CTS went back to work. Three years later Judge Gray as arbitrator prot peace to Alabama coal fields after months of strife.
 In 1910 he was appointed as Amer ican envoy to the North Atlantic Arbitration Court at The Hague. at which the Canadian fisher ies dispute between the United States and Great Britain was adjusted. In 1915 he was again designated as a Peace Commissioner to Great Brit ain. He was for years Regent and chairman of the executive com nittee of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. c.

He practiced law first in New rastie and then at Wilmington and in 1879 was elected Attorney Gen eral of Delaware. He had been a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions of 1876 and 1880, at the latter presenting Bayard's name in nomination for the Presidency and in 1884 he again nominated Bayard as the principal opponent of Cleve land.
 4 During the World war, despite his

advanced years, he took an active part in all movements to support the government and was speaker for the great loan Campaigns and war relief agencies. In respect to public service, he has been ranked with the most noted of DeIaware's sons, such as the Rodneys, the Bay. ards, the McLanes and the Claytons, all of whom achieved distinction in the Senate in Presidential cabinets and in the diplomatic service.

ScrantOn's Mayor Tells

mittee
The letter was in reply to one mail
ed earlier in the week to prominent
men in this city by Mr.. Inglis. He
claimed that the miners wages exceed
those of all other comparable employ
ments.
i. The mayor denied this claim and
cited rates paid to building and other
craftsmen who, the mayor said, work
with little or no risk, as compared
with the miner, who must battle each
day under adverse conditions.
Referring to Mr. Inglis' statement
that "the strike habit must be broker
up," the mayor said:
"Inasmuch as it has required {
number Of strikes to bring the mine
workers to the present low STANDARD
of wages, does it not indicate tha
the best method of breaking up tht

FOREIGN "RICHTS"
In China Assailed By Col
lege Professor

New York.-The extraterritorital-
ity system, now enforced on China
by the worlds great powers, degrades
a great people, declared Dr. w. W.
Willoughby, of John Hopkins Univer-
sity, and former official advisor to
the Chinese government.
Under this system foreign nations
establish themselves in China, set
aside the laws of that country and
consider only their own laws.
This system tends to create a pow
erful anti-foreign feeling in China
the educator said 1t necessitates the
appreciation of diverse laws. Thus
if several persons of different nation
alities are engaged in the same trans
action, not only must each of them be
proceeded against in different courts,
but their respective legal rights and
responsibilities must be determined
by different laws.
"The Chinese injured by the crimi-
nal acts Of nationals of the other pow
ers have no way of knowing whether
the sentences imposed are actually
carried out" DR.. Willoughby said. "Ir
many cases the inconvenience of tax
ing the offender before the nearest
consular court, as required by the
treaties, and of then producing the
necessary witnesses or other evidence
makes it practically impossible for the
Chinese who have been injured by the
acts of foreigners to take any action
whatever in order to obtain redress.
