HAGUE TRIBUNAL SETTLES DISPUTE American Fishing Rights Oft Newfoundland Defined. United States Wine Five Out o f Seven Disputed Points—Treaty o f 1818 Made Clear. The Hague, Sept. 8.— In the gloomy little chamber of the permanent arbi tration court, bencatl) large paintings of men whose names are associated with the cause o f the world’s peace, five judges, who since the first o f June have considered the Newfoundland fisheries dispute between the United States and Great Britain, this after noon pronounced the tribunal’ s historic verdict. The decision gave neither principal a clear-cut award, but in the seven questions at issue supported the United States in five and Great Britain in two. The court will be a memorable one because it settled finally the disputes arising from the British-American treaty o f 1818, which have caused con tinued diplomatic controversies, and incidentally because of the six-day speech o f Elihu Root, which lawyers here regard as having been the great est presentation of a case at The Hague. On one o f’ the two questions decided in favor o f Great Britain, the United States has raised certain questions of equity which will have to be submitted to a special commission for determina tion. Englishmen are pleased with the award, because under it the three-mile limit is based on headlands, instead of following the sinuosities o f the coast, and because their sovereignity is up held by confirming Great Britain’s right to make reasonable fisheries reg ulations without concurrence o f the United States. The award provides that existing disputed fishing regulations shall be submitted to a commission composed of one expert from each country and Dr. Paulus Shoek, the fisheries adviser of the Netherlands. The award holds that by the treaty o f 1818 permission is given to Americans to enter certain bays and harbors for shelter and re pairs and to take on board wood and water. HAR VE STE R C O N C E R N IS T R U S T State of Missouri Wins Suit Agai nst Local Company. Jefferson City. Mo.— Special Com missioner Theodore Brace, in his re port to the Supreme court in the ouster suit, declared the International Har vester company, o f New Jersey, a trust and a combine for the purpose of destroying competition in the manu facture and sale o f harvesting machin ery. The International Harvester com pany o f America is declared to be used merely as a selling agent by the New Jersey company. The subsidiary corporation, accord ing to Commissioner Brace, once had capital, but now has none. Its exist ence as a separate croporate entity is a mere fiction to evade the laws. The commissioner found that the McCormick Harvester company, the Deering Harvesteing Machine com pany, Warder, Bushnell, Glessner & Co., the Plano Manufacturing com pany, D. M. Osborne & Co., and the Milwaukee Harvesting Machine com pany, the latter being a respondent, were in active competition prior to 1902. In June, 1902, Cyrus H. McCor mick went to George W. Perkins, of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., of New York, and sought his aid in relieving competitive conditions. According to the findings, Mr. Per kins soon perfected a plan whereby the McCormick company and the other named companies, excepting the M il waukee company, ostensibly sold their properties to W illiam C.‘_ Lane. Lane, the commissioner found, pretended to sell them to the International Harves ter company. C O O L TO W AR D S R O O SE V E LT Socialist Mayor o f Milwaukee No Reception. Gives Milwaukee. Sept. 8.— The Germans had their day with ex-President Roose velt today. Beginning the day with a tiff with Milwaukee’s Socialist mayor, Emil Sei del, who is a German, Colonel Roose velt put in the scheduled hours o f his visit here by roaming about the city at will, making his own program as he went. He inspected the city's trade schools, attended two luncheons and a dinner, took an automobile ride to Whitefisb bay, a summer resort on the lake shore, near Milwaukee, and addressed two huge audiences tonighL He went late to his car to start early in the morning for Freeport, 111., where he is to speak tomorrow, and for Chicago, which he is to visit late in the day. The Milwaukee Press club had the colonel in hand. In honor o f the day the club got out the first and last edi tion o f the B ig Stick, a newspaper de voted exclusively to Colonel Roose v e lt’s affairs. In it there was a letter by Mayor Seidel, explaining wiiy he would not serve as a member o f the committee to welcome Colonel Roose velt. He considered that something which the colonel had written about Socialism was unkind and said that the colonel could not expect him to wel come him. Before he had his breakfast Colonel Roosevelt issued a reply, telling the people that he would prefer to have them read what he had written rather than what the mayor said about what he had written. West to Call Own Congress. St Paul— That a meeting o f the Western Conservation congress un doubtedly will be called soon was the statement of Judge Frank Short, of California, in the course o f the session o f the National Conservation congress here. The statement came after many unverified reports that sentiment fa voring such a congress was being worked up by delegates from the Pa cific slope. “ It might be called im mediately,” Judge Short said, “ were it not for the fear that members o f this congress might look upon it as hostile.” Prize, In Grasp, It Lott. Clermont Ferrand, France — Wey- mann, the American aviator, who at tempted to win the special Michelin prize o f $20,000 offered for the first aeronaut who with a passenger flies in six hours from the French capital to the top o f Puy-de-Dome, was beaten by the elements when the trophy was almost within his grasp. Weymann ran into a fog and blinding rain, and although he reached Ancizes, which was within 13 miles o f his goal, at 5:30 o’ clock, he completely lost his bearings in the gloom. “ Skin the Goat” la Dead. Dublin — James Fitzharis, better known by the name o f “ Skin the Goat, ” who drove the car containing the assassins o f Lord Frederick Caven dish, chief secretary o f Ireland, and T. P. Burke, the permanent under sec retary, to the scene o f the crime in Phoenix park May 6, 1882, died today in the workhouse. Fitzharis was re leased in 1903, after serving 20 years o f a life sentence for his share in the tragedy. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE IN JAPAN C LO SE D S H O P LEGAL. Judge Refuses to Issue Injunction Against Unions. St Louis — The opinion o f Judge Smith McPherson, who denied the ap plication o f C. W Post, of Battle Creek, Mich., for an injunction to re strain the American Federation of Labor officials and Buck Stove & Range company, o f this city, from en tering into a closed shop agreement, was filed in the United States Circuit court here. Judge McPherson decid ed the case in chambers at L,is home in Red Oak, la. The tentative agreement, the ratifi cation of which Mr. Post opposed, the court says, was reached some six weeks ago. Judge McPherson continues: “ Complainant then knew o f it. He has remained silent until the last few days, when he filed his bill of com plaint asking fo r the injunction. He has given notice of this hearing to no defendant. Many o f them are accessi ble and no doubt would have been pres ent had they been notified. “ Restraining orders should not be is sued except on notice to the defendants, and then only when irreparable harm w ill follow i f Buch restraining order is not issued.

Berlin— So widespread has become the alarm in m ilitary circles at the danger o f espionage that the airship passenger line recently opened at Strassburg may have to be abandoned. The m ilitary authorities complain that many passengers on the initial trips were foreigners and that some of them carried cameras. Fear that pho tographs w ill be made o f the fortifica tions of Strassburg and other defensive works near the French border has led to the demand that the airship line be transferred to some other place. Since the arrest o f two Englishmen on the island o f Borkum on the charge o f espionage, the spy scare has been growing. M ilitary experts assert that espionage is carried on among the Eu ropean powers to an extent hitherto unprecedented. One result o f the alarm is the demand that the regula tions regarding the admission o f visit ors to the North Sea islands be made much more stringenL I t is proposed that civilians shall be warned away from Heligoland entirely and the island converted into a second Gibraltar. for Abstinence Broken and Stomach Trouble Cnred.

A blackmailer sought to blow up and burn the house o f Frank Mazetta, a contractor, in Thirty-eighth street, Brooklyn, be cause he would not pay $10,000.
