WASHINGTON December 20. A res-
olution offered by Everett P. Wheeler of
New York urging the. President to accept
the offer to arbitrate the Panama Canal
controversy between ureal unium nu
America featured tonight's opening: .of
the American Sooloty for the Judicial
settlement of international disputes. The
introduction of the resolution which also
urges the President to prepare and mib-
mlt to the Senate a special agreement
clearly defining the muttur in dispute
created a mild sensation.
Immediately severnl delegates were on
their feet seeking recognition. A others'
were on the program for set speeches to-
night a motion was made and unani-
mously carried to refer the resolution
to the executive committee for report at
tomorrow morning's session. . '
Would Copy Supreme Court. ' i
An address by Attorney General Wlck-
ersham on ''The Supreme Court of the
United States a Prototype of a Court of
Nations"- was received with Interest.
"Confidence general public care In the
Warning" he said "Impartiality and In-
tegrity of the justices of tlie Supreme
Court has made possible the continued
exercise by thum of the Jurisdiction we
have been considering. No one can
Imagine that if these judges had Hi'-en
chosen by popular election for sort
terms they could possibly have main-
talked the high standard of impartiality
and freedom from the influence or mo-
mentary unpopular prejudice which lias
characterized this great tribunal from
its foundation.
"Surely it Is iiumanely possible to es-
tablish and maintain a tribunal of equal
merit for the purpose of deciding ques-
tions arising between sovereignties less
closely i unUed tlian the Stales of the
American union.
"Wwe not the justices of the Supreme
Court of the lTnited Ptates s greatly
occupied with the enormous pressure of
business In that tribunal probably no
more satisfactory standing tribunal for
the determination of matters of differ-
ence arising between the Natl.-ns could
be found together with similar tribunals
in other countries such as the hih court
of justice of Great Britain or the-judlr
clal committee of the rrivy council with
provisions for selecting fr m these bod-
Its appropriately distributed the mem-
bers of an international court."
The Attorney General said hc.vever
that the great pressure of business upon
the Supreme Court would operate ti
make It Impossible for the Justices of
that tribunal to serve as members of un
international court.
Friendly Settlement.
The element which must be brought
Into being to effect friendly settlement
of international disputes must be some-
thing having the pompousness and scenic
effect of war according to Governor
Simeon E. Baldwin of Connecticut who
presided at tonight's conference. While
declaring he did not dare hope in the
near future for such a thing as the per-
petual guaranty of the territorial Integ-
rity of any country by other countiies
he felt confident no guaranty designed to
be. of such a nature would lorn; survive
unless it ne rormieu by some sanction ot
in Imposing character.
"War has such character" the Gov
ernor continued "Its Instruments are
planned in part for scenic effect and any
substitute for It must tr possible ba
something sot less physiologically im-
pressive. What can be more imposing
than Justice administered In a stately
hnll.linu. Milch u s that t (i Ha nnunnl npvt
September at The Hague and In stately
form by a permanent and Impartial court
according to previously established
rules."
Could Not Refuse.
"It is inconceivable" asserted Everett
P Wheeler "that after the United States
has settled by arbitration far more Impor-
tant controversies between Itself and
Great Britain than any that can possibly
arise with reference to the Panama Canal
It should refuse to refer to an Impartial
tribunal formed In pursuance of a treaty
which the' United States Itself proposed
this pure question of law as to what the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty means." y
The speaker scouted the idea that It
would be impossible to procure unbiased
and impartial arbitrators. He said this
was "doing moral Injustice to the Judges
who form the tunel of the high court at
The Hague who are not arbitrators put
forward by each nation to maintain Its
own Interests but Judges of high charac
ter learning and ability.
The Hague Tribunal.
"In so far as The Hague Tribunal is
concerned" Mr. Wheeler continued.
"most of the Judges are citizens of Na
tions that have but a trifling Interest in
the controversy or perhaps none at all.
But If it were otherwise it would be bet-
ter a thousand times that the United
States should submit Its case to this trib-
unal than that It should be false to Jts
plighted faith and the honorable traditions
of 125 years."
More than usual Interest attached to
this year's meeting of the society because
f the Important International questions
at stake both at home and abroad among
them the Balkan Panama and Mexican
situations.
Worldwide public opinion would suDDort
the Judgment of a wise and capable in-
ternational court in the majority of cases
which might be brought to It for settle-

HE CLAIMS RIGHT
TO DO BUSINESS
. Locker Announced Intention of
Proving It After Losing to the
American Tobacco Company.
( (Asiocirtii Prtu Rtfort.)
NEW YORK December iO. the Amer-
ican Tobacco Company was awarded a
verdict by direction of Judge Mayer In
the United States District Court tonight
la the $300000 damage suit brought by
Jfi. Locker Co. Brooklyn tobacco Job
ber. The Metropolitan Tobacco Com-
fiany co-defendant was awarded a aim-
lar verdict. The complainant sought
treble damages under the Sherman anti-
trust law alleging they Incurred losses
through violation ot the law by the de-
fendant companies.
Judge Mayer told the Jury that the
Juestlona Involved were of law not of
act hence It was for the court to de-
cide the case. Counsel for the plaintiff
waa granted permission to appeal. John
E. Locker of complainant company said
he would take the case to toe Supreme
Court of the United States If necessary.
"I am going to prove that I 'have a.
right to do business In the United States
If It costs me all I have" Locker aald.
Judge Mayer's Instructions to the Jury
came after he had dismissed the com-
plaints against the Rlackwell-Durham
Tobacco Company and the American
Knufl Company named as co-defendants.
In dismissing these complaints he said:
"The court does not doubt that the
Blackwell -Durham Tobaoeo Company and
the American Snuff Company war com
binations In restraint of trade but It has
not been proved that they Injured the
plaintiff." I
