Hoffman yesterday expressed the
opinion every member Of the court
should visit Hauptmann - who
may not be able to appear in per
son before the court-to "get his
story first hand"
Discussing the manner in which
the members of the court might
see Hauptmann, the governor in
timated there was a possibility
the condemned man might be
brought before the court, though
this is not the usual procedure in
Jersey. Pointing out that prison
ers are brought before pardon
boards in other States, he said:
"Our law in New Jersey is not
clear on the subject. OF course,
the court has a right to interview
a prisoner.
at is the custom in New Jer-
sey to interview a prisoner. but
in no case involving the death
sentence"
Asked if his purpose in visiting
Hauptmann had been to make
an offer, or proposition" the Gov
ernor's reply was an explosive
mo"
did you offer him clemency
if he would confeSS?" someone
asked.
"Is that likely?" Governor Hoff-
man demanded scornfully. What
position would I be in?"

forth the position on neutrals, Off
Gals or the American Society of
international Law asserted nations
now are confronted with two theo-
ries for maintaining peace.
George A. Finch, a secretary Of
the society, defined these as ID
the League OF Nations theory that
there should he no such thing rs
neutrality" and that all nations
should band together against an
aggreBsor, and C3) the American
policy that n nation may enforce its
neutrality by arms embargoes and
by requiring that It's citizens trade
with ~belligerents only at their own
risk.
One o. these theories, he said,
eventually viii be written into in
ternntional law. He added:
international law Is now In "a
period OF transition Whether the
United States policy win ultimately
he recognized by other nations as
the accepted stand or a neutral
win depend upon what eventually
happens to the league"
America first ignored neutrality
precedent when George Washing
ton e~nurriated the policy that a
neutral was entitled 10 freedom Of
the seas In trading with belliger-
ents, Finch said lie added that
Great Britain and other nations
later adopted the same view.
During the Civfl War, the United
States again guided the trend OF
law among nations when she held
Great Britain responsible for
damages because southern ships
had been fitted for war In English
ports. This claim was upheld by an
arbitration board at Geneva and
sl5.500 900 damages was awarded.
Now. Finch Sid, by again turn
ing her back on established inter-
pretations OF neutrality, this country
has set up a principle which may
eventually be accepted by other
powers.

BRITISH Want
BAN ON GOODS
OUT OF ITALY
Committee Delaying
Action On Proposal
Although Plan Has
Little Opposition
Copyright. 1886. By Cpd

tCOpyrlgnf, 1850, py ND
GENEVA, oct. 16.-Anthony Eden
or England backed theoretically az
a meeting OF the economic sanctions
committee Of the League OF Nations
Wednesday a proposal that league
states buy nothing from Italy, but
no decision was taken by the COM
mittee.
The proposal, originally advanced
by the British. for q boycott by
league nations Of purchases from
Italy was also supported warmly by
the Netherlands and Belgium.
France Talks Peace
Rumania, Sweden. Russia. and
Turkey also favored 1t. Switzerland,
however. advanced some q~uestions.
The British minister for league
affairs emerged from the session in
high good humor nevertheless and
sources close to him said no real
opposition had developed to this ad-
ditional form Of pressure against
Italy.
While pursuing relentlesSly their
erection OF sanctions barriers against
italy. league delegates found time to
consider an offensive for peace
which Premier Pierre Laval was re-
ported to be conducting at Paris.
Reliable sources said Laval con-
templated suggestion of an East
African peace plan under which the
Ethiopian province Of T1gre. now
occupied by Italian troops. would 60
70 Italy, which also would gain q
mandate over outlying Ethiopian
regions.
League sources generally. however,
believed that any such program
would be opposed by Great Britain
and many other powers, especially
Russia.
League officials also anticipated
inflexible opposition from ETHIOPIA
10 any cession OF territory to Ita&y,
whether In the form OF a protec-
torate or otherwise.
Want information
In the session Of the economic
sanctions committee, some delegate
asked 1oI bbdL4cllC1A 4uACLllhIAoA
concerning Italy's exports so that
they could visualize better the exact
effect Of a buy nothing from Italy"
program.
Some said privately afterwards
That they feared II this form Of boy
colt we're carried out. Italy would
tend 10 buy nothing from the boy
cotters and make its purchases en-
tirely from neutral countries.
Anthony Eden, however. urged
adoption of the plan because Of the
ease and SwiftneSs with which IL
could be put into operation.
He pointed out that the govern
ments OF the world-under the whip
OF world depreSsion-already had de-
veloped TO a high pitch OF efficiency
their control OF imports and that II
would be only necessary therefore
to issue instructions TO customs Of
ficials.

Original estimates made by the
bureau showed it could 60 through the
fiscal year 1885 on slightly more than
$500, ,0O0,0 The President made
change in the law, however, which
added $21 ,092 POS to the cost. Con-
gress made the estimates little more
and appropriated 1857 ,598,096 and
then lowered the bars still another
notch to add $90,089, ,408 to the total
cost.
Other recent changes by presidential
regulations set officials to figuring
again and today they produced an
estimate that 1t would cost $3.50, ,242.-
585 by the end Of this fiscal year.
