HAGUE TRIBUNAL
SETTLES DISPUTE

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.

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.”

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.

St Louis — The opinion o f Judge
Smith McPherson, who denied the ap

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

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

has given notice of this hearing to no

E NGINEER FASTS 57 DAYS.
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

Philadelphia Playgrounds.
The establishment of the playground
committee as an Integral part of the
municipal administration, with author
ity conferred upon It by ordinance to
enlarge the extant facilities for public
recreation In Philadelphia, has been
earnestly sought by those most deeply
concerned In the communal welfare,
and Is realized at last through the en
thusiastic co-operation of the mayor
and the members of the original play
ground commission appointed by him
last year.
In planning to make gen
erous provision for recreative facili
ties Philadelphia will follow the ex
ample set by several other cities, and
In turn will establish precedents for
tbe emulation of various communities.
In no other city of the United States
has more heed been paid of recent
years to legitimate popular diversion,
and the establishment of the play
grounds committee means merely the
enlargement of tbe number and scope
of the present facilities for out-of-
door recreation, for the present bene
fit of the children end for the enduring
good of future generations.
