N. Wil- son, proprietor of the Port Hope Guide in connection with legal ser- vices rendered in the famous Curric libel trial at Cobourg. The whole $550 to be paid to; Mr. Regan is assessed against Mr. Wilson, W, T. R. Pres- ton, Wilsons co-defendant, not be- held liable for any 'proportion. The question as to who was the re- tainer of Frank Regan in the recent libel action taken by General Sir Ar- thur Currie against W. T. R. Preston and F. W. Wilson which resulted ina judgment of $500 in favor of Sir Ar- thur, was brought before J. W. Mac- Gillivray, K.C,, taxing returning offi- cer at Osgoode Hall Wednesday. Frank Regan had presented a bill of costs for $1,500 against F, W. Wilson, while the latter denied that he had been the retainer, claiming that W. T. R. Preston was the sole retainer. Mr. Regan claimed that at a con- ference at the British Hotel, Cobourg, an agreement had been reached. He said" he had received a $200 adyance from Mr. Wilson for expenses. J. 'W. Pickup, appearing for Mr. Wilson, asked Mr. Regan if it was not true that he was never retained by Mr. Wilson, and was to be paid by Mr. Preston only. Mr. Regan de- nied this. Mr. Regan, questioned by Mr. Pickup, stated he had been engaged by Mr, Preston long before the trial, but the arrangement with Mr, Wil- son came about during the trial when Mr, Preston wanted Mr. Regan to ask Sir Arthur Currie some questions of which Mr. Regan did not approve. J. W. Pickup asked Mr. Regan if the price agreed upon was not $1,- 000, to which Mr, Regan answered that it was $2,000. : By tendering an apology to Sir Ar- thur Currie, Mr. Wilson declared he could have withdrawn from the trial, but because Mr. Preston wished to continue, he stayed with it, refusing to leave a friend. However, he said at no time had he promised to pay anything to Mr, Regan. LEAGUE MEMBERS PRAISE ELIHU ROOT Italian Delegate Says U.S. Envoy World Court's « Spiritual Father Geneva, March 23. -- What cannot be changed to suit anybody may per- 1aps be "interpreted" to suit all con- cerned. A full chorus of praise to Jihu Root preceded the final fall of he curtain of deliberations of League f Nations legal experts engaged in Itering the statutes of the World court and smoothing the passage of he United States toward, if not through, the portals of that tribunal. The Root-Hurst formula has now passed and makes several changes in the World Court constitution, the most important of which was increas- ing the number of judges to 15, to Founder I r. Root, who made a touching eulogy to the late Lord Phillimore, a member of the Commis- sion that brought the World Court to birth, the president, Dionizo An- zilotti, of Italy, began paeans that "the world regards Elihu Root as its spiritual father for he has solyed our most difficult problems at the start, when we heard that he was coming here this spring we had hoped that he would solve the outstanding pres- ent problems and, by the Grace of God, he has done it. He has saved the situation in 1929 as he.did in 1920. He opened the door for entrance of the United States. Vice-chairman, Van Eysinga, the Netherlands, then declared: "The rest of the world has been so long accustomed to see the United States at the forefront of all ranks Ei Following of || struggling for international organiza- tion, it was only natural that disap- pointment was felt when a seem- ed to have developed between that country and certain others. There was good will on both sides, but. it was difficult to effect co-operation between the United States of Amer- ica and the United States of the League. Quite reasonably the Amer- ican Senate felt that it should have special protection and quite reason- ably the League experienced some hesitation jn granting the unqualified powers sought. A silence of two years followed, which pessimists thought would be eternal. Only a dues ex hachine could end it but he came in the per- son of Elihu Root, who turned the problem from the abstract to con- crete and spoke the liberating word. "Long before 1914 he was known as a statesman and jurist of the type the earth most needed. After "the world war he alone made possible the creation of the World Court, and now, for the third time, he has shown that he deserves well, not only of his country, but of mankind." i M. Fromageot, of France, pointed out that both extremes were Wrong. On the question involying freedom of the seas, all the British dominions although affected, should not each have a judge present, whereas in the argum ; 1 ies, for example, Australia is entitled to temporary representation.
