OOFY THELA " HUGHES BELIEVES Weats to Dofine Internationa! Statutes Regarding “Asylum” ! Havana, Jan. 27.—(UP)—A defi- @f international law, especial- 1y.a8 regards asylum—by which for- eigners are given the hospitality and protection of a government while on that government's eoil—is one of | the essential p: of codification of | {ntermational law, Charles Evans! Hughes, believed. What is Needed This was brought out at a meet- ing of the international law com- mittes of the sixth Pan-American ‘conference. Hughes 6ald what Is needed is not to develop new ideas but to “state concisely and accurately what the law is” “I do not understand when we have assembled here 1in relation to | projecta for codification of interna- tional law, we are to develop ideas and possible conflict of view as to ‘what that law ought to be, We shall | have & great deal of labor in en-| deavoring to state concisely and ac- eurately what the law is. *I2 we attempt to legislate and to | propose the various improvements | 18 the law which we think will be | Beneficial, we should need a good | deal of preparation for the confer- ohee which has not been had for thie pasticular enterprise upon which we are engaged.

That, of course, does not mean that there are not difficuities of inter- pretation which may be solved; that westions may not arise as to which | re may be differences of opinion with respect to expresson, or even of content which may be resolved. It | d0es mean, however, that we have the object of stating the law as it is, | and not the object of stating what ‘wé know is not the law, but what we think might be made the law by some method of international agree- ment.” Referring back to his reservation :Mm principle of asylum Hughes “WiIth the commiasion dealing with private international law or what we eall ‘conflict of law,’ the deulre & to bring uniformity where there:§8 récognized diversity.” * SERVICE BUTTONS GIVEN AT FOUNDRY Yoteran Employes at Vulcan Iron Works Recognized | Bervice buttons have been award- | ed employes of the Vulcan Iron Works, as follows: Thirty years serv- ' ice, James Gallagher; 25 years serv- fce, Anton Tanukas and Leo Cha- chulgki; 10 years service, Walter Rasper, Thomas Anderson, John Ragauskas, Matthew Chapan, Joseph Young, James Moscly, Stanley Lev- andofski, Adolph Fetter, Jacob Pe- ter, A.

Yeomans in superior court today. Mathwins was charged with the death of Mrs. | Anna Berkowitz on November 4 127, | Mathwink's sentencing followed a conference of attorneys and alien- | ists representing the state and the defense. He had previously !,-vnl charged with murder in the first degree but was allowed to plead gullty to manslaughter after the | conference, Mra Berkowitz was shot by Mathwink after a rcal estate trans- action in which he belicved he Laa been swindled out of $6.001.

Springtield, Mass, Jan. 27 (UP) —Expreasing disappointment Preaident Coolidge's refusal to be & presidential candidate, Senator Fred- erick H. Gillett has declared himself in favor of Herbert Hoover for the the republican nomination. “I presume every other*republican in Massachusetts feels as I do,” Gilleft sald in a public statement, “that we should prefer President Coolidge to anybody else. Except for his own refusal, he would un- doubtedly have been the eandidate. “But when he first {issued his statement I belicved he waa per- fectly sincere and would not con- sent to run, and his whole subse- quent conduct has confirmed me in that opinion. 8o I have felt that those who were looked upon as his particular friends, especially those in Massachus:tts, ought to take him at his word and seek other candi- dates for if his intimate friends still pushed his candidacy it would give countenance to the argument of those unfriendly eynics who as- sert that his refusal was a mere feature made simply to enhance his own popularity OLD VORLD TYPES VANISHING INU. . | Evolution of Immigrant Piotured at Kiwanis Banquet The type of the immigrant com- ing to America has changed, accord- ing to Edwin P, Root, president of the New Haven Clock Co., who spoke last evening at the fifth an- nual banquet of the New Britain Kiwanis club. Mr. Root had for his subject A Day at Ellis Island.” He opened his address by calling attention to the manner in which America is favored by immigration laws. He said .he existance of such laws tends to prevent guch over-con. gestion as 18 proving the ruin of oth- er countries, “We have no actual poverty in America,” sald Mr. Root, who added that only two and a half per cent of the people of America pay the taxes of the country. Referring to the educational ad- vantages of America, Mr. Root sald nine-tenths of the boys in America have no opportunity to choose their own vocations but that much of thelr future is a matter of circum- stance. ELMER W. PAPE bruised and battered souls, the phy- sician who mends broken bones and the lawyer who mends our little quarrels are only menders. These nine-tenths are builders. They are our inventors, our mechanics, our leaders. From thelr ranks we get eur Franklins, our Howes and our Goodyears. “There is a motto over the Har- vard gates saying ‘Enter and grow in wisdom; depart to better serve' I would like to put that motto over the archway to every factory in America.
