LOUISIANA OPENS GROUNDS TO PUBLIC FOR USE OF HUNTERS WASHINGTON; D. C.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

POSITION AS JUDGE OF NATIONS' COURT IS REFUSED BY ROOT By Associated Prs) GENEVA, Sept. 12. Elihu Root has definitely declined to be considered for election as Judge of the international court of justice. In a cablegram to Dr. Manley O. Hudson, who is here in the capacity of American observer, Mr. Root declared he will be unable to serve, on the court because of his age. The refusal of Mr. Root is said to increase the chance of either John Bassett Moore or Prof. Roscoe Pound, two other American nominated for the court, to be elected. Mr. Root's cablegram was in reply to a personal message of inquiry-. He said be deeply regretted he could not serve as it was too great a responsibility for one to ensue at the age of 76. Would Go Ahead. Some delegates to the assembly, notably Castoa de Cudea, of Brazil, declared today they favored the election of Mr. Root, despite his cablegram, as an honor.

AMERICAN CLOTHING COMPANY MAY IMPORT GERMAN MADE GOODS (By Associated Press' BOSTON, Sept. 12. The American Woolen company may import manufactured goods from Germany and other European countries where costs are lower than in the mills here. President William M. WTood, on his return to his desk today from a trip to Europe, said he expected a report within a day or two covering this possibility from Chester L. Dane, president of the American Woolen Products company, a subsidiary, who has just completed an independent investi gation of conditions abroad. "Exportation of manufactured wool ens from the United States is out of the question under existing economic conditions." Mr. Wood said. "With this in mind, Mr. Dane went abroad to study European conditions and see what could be done to keep his organization alive. It must be realized that Europe, especially Germany, is making goods at costs far below ours. Trade follows the price, not the flag. These products are going to come to this country anyhow. We want to find out to what extent it Is practical and desirable that 'we take part in this trade." Should it be dlcided that such adventure was a promising one, the An?., erican Woolen Products company would, so far as operation in the United States are concerned, change from an exporting to an importing concern. It also would market the output of European mills in South America, or any where else in the world that it might find buyers, Mr. Wood said. He would not discuss a report that President Dane already had secured options on the product of mills in Germany, Czecho-Slovakia and Austria, until he had heard from Mr. Dane.
