WORLD LAW CODE PROIETS NOW UP Territorial Waters One of Four Considered by Geneva Jurists’ Commission. Decision of the Geneva Commission of International Jurists to take up the question of territorial waters as one of four projects of international law codification to be considered at its present sesslon attaches new im- portance to the similar plan worked out by the American International stitute for the coming Ameri- v codification conference in Rio »nventions on “natfonal do- d “jurisdiction” framed by the Institute embody rece€nt thought by experts in all American republics on the questions now before the Geneva gathering. The proposal leaves the extent of “territorial sea” serted, but they would establish a definite rule that the outer boundary of such sea. within which the p sessing nation conld exercise absolu sovereignty, would follow “the sinu osities of the coast,” except as to off-ehore to be in- bays of stipulated width at the mouth | and with both coasts under the same sovereignty. Snfeguarding Bay Lines. Tn such cases a straight line across the mouth of the bay is provided for, while in “international bays,” where the shore is owned by two nations, the “sinuosities” The conventlon also would declare EO\'F;'Mgl\ly over “the bottom and sub #il" of territorial sea, fix rules for exact location of boundaries that fall in International rivers or chan- nels and otherwise standardize practice to eliminate disputes. Novel proposals come in the “juris- diction” convention. It would confer the general right to continue, within the zone contiguous to territorial seas, the pursuit of a _vessel com- menced within territofial waters, “and to bring the vessel before its (the territorial sovereign’s) courts.” Supplemental Provision. A supplemental provision is that “the American republics may extend their jurisdiction beyond the terri- torial sea, parallel with such sea, for an additional distance of marine miles, for reasons of safety and in order to assure observance of sani- tary and customs regulations.” Another provision would make crimes committed aboard merchant craft subject to the law of the flag of the ship even when committed rial sea of another ey disturb the or- where they have been com- " when the territorlal sov- ereignty would have jurisdiction.

In no case could such bases be fortified or used “even indirectly” for military or naval purposes. The convention would lay down the flat rule that merchant ships are sub- ject to “the administrative and crimi- nal laws and procedure” of the nation in whose territorial sea they sail, al- though passengers and crew and their property aboard are subject to the law of their own flag.

YELLOWSTONE LOOKS FOR 100,000 VISITORS Record Contract Is Let for 102 Busses and 20 Trucks to Handle Transportation. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 8.—Arrangements were completed yesterday to Insure the regular opening under normal conditions of Yellowstone National Park, despite a million-dollar fire that destroyed much of the park's trans- portation facilities March 30. To make accommodation of visitors am- ple, Harry W. Child, head of the park’s transportation system, let the largest contract for motor coaches ever recorded. The park opens an June 18, and 40,000 reservations have already been made for the season. The order for 102 sight-seeing motor cars and 20 trucks to carry supplies was taken by the White Co. of Cleve- land, with an agreement to operate day and night until June to com- plete the cars. The vehicles will fill a train of 65 cars, which will be run directly from Cleveland to Livingston, the nearest station to the national park, and thence driven 60 miles to - | the reservation. The hotels at the park were not harmed by the fire, but the garages, housing a_fourth of the park's 400 motor vehicles, were destroyed. A new garage covering two acres is ;| already under construction at Gardi- Rankin and Agnes Herbert, | Per" Mr. Child said that the advance reservations by Shriners, Knight Templars and other organizations in- dicated that more than 100,000 per- sons would tour the Yellowstone reservation this season, and that the park would be ready for sight-seers by June 1, although the official open- ing of the government preserve had been set for June 18. e London fogs are less severs than ‘| they were, and this is said to be due to principally to the condeneation of aqueous vapor on floating particles from soft coal fires. e S SR AppetiteKeen and Bowels Relieved You can relish your mecals without fear of upsctting [your liver or stomach if you will put your faith in 's Little Liver Pilis Foulaccum- ¥ ulations that poison the blood are expclled from the bowels and headache, dizziness and sallow skin are relicved.
