While attorneys for Mrs. Hughes, in presenting their petition for a com- mutation of the sentence, admitted ‘there was no doubt that the State had made out a good case of murder against their client, they sald there was a “strong moral justification” for the act of Mrs. Hughes. The commission indicated the result of the hearing would not be made known until Wednesday. Among those adding their voices to the appeal was Solicitor General John A. Boykin, who prosecuted the case. The solicifor requested that the sen- tence be commuted to life imprison- ment. Ministers, officials of the Atlanta Woman's Club, city and-county of- cials, the leglslative committee of the Atlanta Federation of Labor and hundreds of others were among the signers of petitions incorporated in fhe appeal. 405,000 acres in the N casus and Volga reglons are to bs thrown open to American farmers who can give evidence of expe- rience and competence, and can take to Russia from 325 to $30 in money or equipment for each dessiatin of land to be cultivated.

Mr. Wickersham took a strong stand today against allowing any po- litical considerations to enter into the work of the commission, insisting that they were merely experts and should discard all political thoughts. Meanwhile the determined stand adopted by Dr. Guerrero, Salvadorean jurist, in favor of attacking interna- tional law of war, as well as of peace, seems to have influenced many of his colleagues. This question was re- opened today, though final action was reserved M. Fromageot of France aed in favor of concentrating for oment on the law of peace, say- Let us hope that the law of | Ma ar is the exception and need not he applied for the moment.” Mr. Wickersham said that he wa eatly impressed with the busines leadership of George W. Wickersham, former United States Attorney General, the experts decided to give more latitude to their endeavors than is technically pro- vided for in the resolution adopted hy the league assembly. They voted that when their preliminary lists of subjects was agreed upon to allo- cate one topic to some one member of the commission with the under- standing that he bring in later a complete exposition of international Jaw 6@.1hat topic.
