Rights Under Treaty of 1818 in Dispute.

GLOUCESTER, Jan 17A committee from the board of trade, including E. Archer Bradley, Benjamin A. Smith, Capt Sylvanus Smith, William H. Jordan, Fred L. Davis, Capt Carl C.

Young, Frank C. Pearce and William F. Moore, departed from this city yesterday for Washington, to confer with Congressman Gardner and the counsel representing this country at The Hague tribunal in the matter of the controversies concerning the interpretation of the treaty of 1818, as applied to Newfoundland. The Hague tribunal is scheduled to take up the matter this spring and hear the evidence, and both sides are preparing for the contest in the way of tieing equipped with evidence, etc. While in Washington the committee will be entertained by Congressman Gardner at luncheon at the Metropolitan club, and those who have accepted invitations include Sec Meyer, Solicitor General Hoyt, Representative Perkins, Senator Crane and John Hays Hammond.

The decision of the tribunal will be far eaehing and vital to the Gloucester fishing interests. Much, therefore, depends upon the manner in which the vase is prepared and presented. While all phases of the fisheries are involved, the herring fishery, which, in recent years has assumed a foremost position in the Gloucester industry, Is immediately concerned. The United States acquired rigbts to the fisheries along the west coast of Newfoundland anti along the Labrador coast from Rameaux islands northerly by the treaty of 1818, the language of the treaty stating that these privileges should be enjoyed in common with the subjects of his Britannic majesty, and it is these two words, "in common," which have caused all the trouble. Until the last 20 years these fishery rights included in this treaty zone were not considered of much value ThoFe Interested in the frozen and salted herring fishery, which had been developed exclusively by the Gloucester fishing interests, reliad upon their supply of herring from toortune, Placentia and other herring haunts upon the southern coast of Newfoundland.

When that colony, which is not a part of the Canadian confederation, became involved some years ago in a controversy with the United States on this matter, she withdrew the rights which had lot merly been accorded Americans under the Washington treaty. Deprived of these, the United States vessels, which were 'confined to --kIloueester fishing craft. were forced to utilize what they were entitled to under tne treaty of 1818, and resort to the Bay of Islands on the west coast. Hee etofore this place had been. considered exceedingly hazardous, on accomit 'of the liability of being sealed up by the drift ice from the Arctic which comes down on the coast by way of the straits of Belle Isle.

The American fleet has secured good fares of fine fish there and reached open water in time to prevent being frozen in- Generally, Jan 10 is the time limit there, but this year the time has been extended. extremely moderate weather prevailing. This season the Gloucester vessels have pushed still farther north, and have secured the bulk of their herring in Bonne bay. Essence of the Contest. The real essence of the contest is whether the Gloucester fishing interest or any other American interest which cares to embark in the business, or a syndicate of St Johns.

fish merchants shall control the markets of the United States for this product, and this contest has been going on since the abrogation of the treaty of Washington in 1884. This treaty, which was negotiated In 1872, was terminated by the request of this country. It was a reciprocity fish treaty, Newfoundland and Canada having free access to The markets of this country in return for the privilege accorded American fishermen to have the run of any part of the British North American coast on the Atlantic for fishing purposes. With the abrogation of the treaty the trouble commenced. About 20 years ago the question of whether the natives could be employed in catching the fish for American vessels came up.

Reams of diplomatic and news matter were written on this subject, and and it Was finally settled that fish so caught were the products of the American fishery, the natives "assisting" in the catch. As a matter of fact, under the Washington treaty. the native fishermen would not snow the Gloucester fishermen to take their own fish successfully, resisting this attempt in 1876 at Fortune bay, the episode being knwn as the Fortune bay riots, for which interference the British government eventually paid. During the past 10 years the Newfoundland government under Sir Robert Bond has been very active against the American fishing interests. Newfoundland passed various laws designed to protect its fisheries, among them laws which prohibited the use of purse seine in the bay of Islands.

or any bays, the use of trawls anywhere within three miles of its coast. this being designed to protect the codlishertes. prohibited WORK UNDER WAY In the early spring Lowell et. Somerville, which for the past 35 years hes been cut into two sections by the southern divsion tracks of the Boston Maine railroad, and on either side of the railroad has been a "dead-end" thoroughfare, will be opened up again, and will become one of seven streets that cross the city throughout its entire breadth of 212 miles. Several months ago Mayor John Woods, as the result of numerous conferences with Pies Lucius Tuttle of the railroad, secured his assent to a payment of $15,000 toward the cost of bridging the tracks of th railroad and con Sunday fishing.

this meeting the approbation of all the fishermen, and also attempted to deal the United States vessels a body blow by prosecuting Newfoundland fishermen who shipped aboard American herring vessels. Two of these were convicted, fined and sentenced to jail. In the midst of this, when the contest became acute two sears ago, Sir Robert Bond was defeated in a close election, and the present incumbent, Sir Morris. was chosen premier. He was supposed to be more liberal to Americans than Sir Robert Bond.

Niaticrs a atentog aspect two years ago, the United States sending down a cruser. while a British gunboat was also on the spot, but overt acts of hostility were averted, and the inatter was bridged by referring the controversy to The Hague tribunal for settlement. Contentions of Both Sides. The American contention in brief is that it is not bound by any local laws that the Newfoundland parliament may pass; that its vessels have the unrestricted right to fish with a trawl or with a purse seine on Sunday or any day of the week and ship men on any part of the treaty coast. On the contrary the Newfoundland government maintains that the treaty specifically says that the United States shall have rights in common with the Fubjects of Newfoundland, and that nny laws passed for the preservation of its fisheries and the government of its territorial waters shall be equally bind-kg upon the American and Newfound-IA fishermen.

The Newfoundland government. in its case, holds that the right to restrict the fisheries for the sake of preserving the food product As everywhere recognized as reasonable and just. nowhere more so than in this country, and it cites the procedure of this state in 'the ca3 of Buzzards bay in debarring the porgie purse seiner, and the state of Mateo In seizing a Gloucester vessel for seining within the three-mile limit in de-Vance of a state law as cases in point which go to maintain its case. However, the truce of the past two years, which has obtained by mutual consent, since the case was given to The Hague trubunaL has worked to the advantage of the IT fishing interests, which have pursued the business practically unrestricted along the lines of its claims, with the concession to the religious sentiment of the native fishermen that no Sunday fishing is pursued. The Newfoundland fishermen are a unit in favor of conducting the business with the American fishing interest as it has always been pursued.

That is, the Americans sell them seines and fishing gear, the natives catching the fish, selling them to the agents of the fishing vessels at so much per barrel, this being regulated by government inspection. Pay is enther in gold or provisions and clothing, often the two latter as the American articles are of superior quality and lower priced than what may he obtained at the stores at home. Should the Newfoundland merchants, who are behind this matter, win, the native fishermen fear they will be virtually reduced to what they were before the Amer loans camebound to the big St John's fish merchants, who pay them SIMON B.

Comment rises to the surface and Calls attention poolsibilities. The mayor takes office Feb 7. this being the nret Monday in Februery, and his term Is four years from that date unless he IS recalled, remigns, or indleatee at the end of two years that he does not wish to serve further.

NViille this laot contingency- would neem improbable, generally speaking. situation might arime, however, in which the Mayor might desire to do this. The recall proVisiOn itti as follows: At the state election'in the emend year of the mayor's term (which in the eabie of Mayor-elect Fitzgerald wilt be the state election of ISM there will steams on th0 (Andel ballot in Ilosten tiilM quiettiOn: "Shall there be an election fur Mayor at the next municipal election (ehich in this me Will 4j Il Junoer)'. 1912) Yee (or) leo."

Jr the mayor hem not Nerved to the matimfactien et imp-halt off toe legaitteteit voters of the city and they vote "yes," the election will occur, otherwise the mayor continues to sem two more years. It should be borne in mind that a majority of the registered voters of the city mumt vote in favor of an election for mayor or it cationt occur. On the present basis of the total registered vote of Boston, and the total has not varied materialle for Naverel years, about 66.0o0 votes would be required to make the recall provision effective. Mathematically this no tile, but but the framers et the law had little expectation that this provision would ever be employed eueretomfully unless the mayor's record was Migrantly disgraceful. Nevertheleats this provision is inserted to cheek the mayor.

Many argue that it would be btu to get a recall, anti it admittedly would be difficult but that it is not impoesible can be seen from the fact that six years ago Mr tiouglism, 1111111111g govertior.fereceived votes in its-ton. which watt well beyond the figure required by the new charter. For s(bmething nearer. examine the vote of David A. Ellis cast at tho tion just past.

Ellis received votes, which is less than low under the number that would tee required for a regale So on it moral uprising or a sharp campaign the recall might be worked. There is another way in which tlita recall might operate, and that is tin the basis that the frientle or the mayor would turn in and vote for a recall, vhicle with the vote that vould nalunelly be cast against any mayor by thoefe wee aro difoottosited, would prob. abir give the required number neceseery tor a new election. The mayor would not give his this tip uniese he felt. itimeelf strong enough to win at the coming chceoll.

Ills Incentive for the new cif ctiott would lie in him belief that he could be elected and the knowledge that ir Pelf elected It would be for a four-year to 'sae If at the end of two )fare lie wished to do this again lie (feted repeat the operation and, if then elected, it would be for a four-year term. There is one contingete.v, however which qualities all that has heretofore been said, and that is the ettuatiort when at ifie end of his first two yeera of service the mayor of him own voltion indicatem to the secretary of the come Monwealth that he does not desire the question of the reeall to appear on the ballot, thereby showing either that hit wishes to retire or that lie wishe avoid the chance of havitig the recall recorded against him. If the muyor notelem the Neeretaly writing before Oct I of the ytar iii which the recall would occur that he doett not wish the question to al peir on the ballot It will not apt ear atm the election will be held. There is, roverthelems. nothing to prevent the mayor from entering the lists at that coming election by getting We signaturea, as do the other candidates.

It should be stated that. If a majority or the voters at the state election In the mecond year after the mayor takes office vote to hold an e'ectiono the llama of the mayor then serving g'etts on the ballot automatically without the necemsity of his getting 5-09 signatures. Of course he can say that he does not wish to be a candidate, but if lie grisliest to run again he need not lift a finger in securing names, as already, explained. One of the possibilities of whieh the mayor might desire to take edvantage in case he had higher could be worked out in this way: Supposie the mayor wished to be a candidate for governor, district attorney. sheriff, or any office for which the twople vote at the state election.

he could write) to the eeeretary of the commonwealth before Oct I that he did not wish the recall provision to appear, lie could then go out and make his campeig-n for governor. distriet attorney, sheriff. or whet ever office he was then seeking, and learn the result in November. If elected he would assume the now office. but If defeated he could still be a candidate for mayor at the January city election by getting the required 5000 eignatures.

The children of the pioneers are now in the saddle, and they know a hit about music, science, art, even the higher criticism. That the American people are not madly musical is not surprising when we consider that the basic stock is who are not as a rec.) endowed xvith a fine ear.

Twenty-two years ago Robert Bailey, elevdtor operator at the state house. then a coal miner in southwestern Indiana, conceived the idea that it would be a good thing to select, at each Christmas time, some worthy and needy child, and by solicitations among his friends, collect a little money and spend it in giving that child a merry Christmas, says the Indianapolis News. I le put his plan into execution and selected a small boy whose Christmas withrek was not very bright and gave him the merriest Christmas the little home had ever known. A few days ago Bailey received a letter from the little boy, who is no longer a little boy. but a man.

a prosperous landowner in Nevada. "I think that Christmas was the happiest I have ever known," wrote the "boy." "I don't believe I will ever be able to make you understand how much that kindly act of yours meant to me then, or what it means to me now." Knowing- that Bailey still continues his long-ago adopted method of helping Santa Claus, the first beneficiary under the plan inclosed a donation for Bailey's current fund. which is to go toward making, merry the Christmas of two little children whose holidays otherwise would be well-nigh devoid of cheer. This letter was only one of 15 or more which Bailey has received from those whom he has helped in the past, some of them men and women and some of them still children. Among those he prizes most highly are two from two little chaps in the coal mining field whom Bailey, with the aid of contributors to his fund, two or three years ago, clad in warm shoes, mittens and overcoats on Christmas morning.

Their expression of regard came in the form of two Christmas cards. a The "Daniel Blake Russell" of the petition which has already been on hearing 67 court days, has a most remarkable memory, as shown by his interest and positive recognition of Melrose people he has met by chance and whom he has not seen before for 25 years. The most remarkable instance was his recognition, in the court rotunda, of a former resident of Melrose, whose name he called before the latter had a chance to speak, and then turned to the daughter and accosted her by her Christian name. On another occasion the first recognition came from the other side, but "Dan's" numerous and enthusiastic friends gave him all the credit and have talked about it for several days. A former Melrose contractor, whose years will number 80 in a few days, and whose son was a playmate of Daniel Blake Russell long ago, came to the courthouse for the sole purpose of meeting the claimant, and at the noon recess eagerly pushed his way through the crowd until he found him.

"Dan" did not know him, however, until the gentleman mentioned his surname, and even then could not locate him until the son was alluded to. This refreshed the claimant's memory and reminiscences were exchanged which made it apparent that each had known the other. But the partisans of the petitioner, who were not present at the moment of meeting, got the idea that the discovery of identity was instantaneous and spontaneous on his part, and some of them have been talking ever since about the "wonderful case of recognition." There have been many instances, however, in which the claimant, without the least assistance or suggestion from others, so far as could be observed. has made a genuine and unmistakable recognition of persons, and has been first in his greetings and has had the conversation about former days In Melrose. But it isn't strange, even If the claimant's identity was proved and undisputed, that he should snake a mistake or fail to remember some of those who seek him either from curiosity or friendly interest.

MUSICAL CULTURE IN AMERICA. A university professor tells the musical convention in Chicago that ''The Americans musically are a race of barbarians." Paderewski once said in conversation that no communitY on earth compared with Roston in niliSleal culture.

He did not mean that Boston produced musical genius as do German and Italian localities. but that in musical education Boston excelled. Nor is Boston the only place In America on the musical Pap. There are others, and others are being added fill the time. It is now a generation ago that the west commenced "to make necting the two ends of the street In the heart of the city.

It was estimated at the time that the total cost of the work would amount to 35,000 at least. and the city was willing to bear the remainder of the burden of expense. It was considered a praiseworthy piece of work on the part of his honor. as previous mayors had been unable to obtain the consent of the company to agree to stand more than $10,000 of the outlay. It is now stated that the work will not cost more than $30,000.

and possibly somewhat less than that sum, and -Nlayor NVoods is receiving congratulations because of that fact. The bridge to cross the tracks is being erected under the direction of Chief what they choose, the pay being from the store, at the highest prices, the fishermen in consequence being almost always in, debt to the store from one year to the other. So that there is a numerous party. although not powerful financially, in Newfoundland, anxious to have the contention of the United States upheld in its chief points. Within the past 19 years the herring industry, familiar to the public in its salted and smoked forms, has become one of the most remunerative branches of the business in this city.

and should the interest here loso on any vital point it might make some difference to them in the way of creating opposition. At preset.t Gloucester monopolizes the business. among those who have gone to Washington to give points is the well-known octogenarian, Capt Sylvanus Smith, who probably is the best posted man on the North Atlantic fisheries in this country. He began life on a fishing vessel and was one of the pioneers in the herring business. He has appeared often before tribunals which have wrestled with the fishing problem in its various phases.

therefore. would eein a mark of his stage of development. The more perfectly developed a man or woman is the greater number of avenues are opened for the entrance of sorrow or happiness. How can one inaure Its being happiness that will come? Only by love. Love is the power that draws the best in the universe to one.

A man aloilrethoef the isms and ologies, but if his learning make him all the more conscious of the misery and wretchedness of the world and offers no solution for it, he becomes a. misanthrope. a pessimist. a cynic, as his nature inclines. Ile may be veloped in many directions, but his development is not perfectly symmetrical.

His highest emotions are dwarfed or but in embryo. Put love into this man's heart and the darkness turns to light. His nature goes out to all the world to do it good. He becomes a philanthropist or a leader in some great movement for the world's betterment, and then he heroines happy. The man without culture and without love, If he belongs to the lowest classes, Is often a criminal, preying on his fellowmen.

At best, he is a selfish, morose being taking pleasure only in animal enjoyments. If he is of the well-to-do classes. and yet has no love for hit fellow beings, he is the business man or head of corporations eaten up with greed and caring naught who may suffer so he enriches himself. Put love in the lives of any of these and the transformation is obvious to all. Love is, indeed, essential to happiness.

"Something the heart must have to cherish Or in itself to ashes sings a favorite poet. The mere love of some animal will soften the heart and bring joy into a life cut off from all other love. The love for a child, for parents, for husband or wife brings ever increasing happiness. Sorrow and trouble may follow in its wake. but the happiness overtops them.

It is keener, purer; it makes the character Ilner and life richer. As love broadens until it takes in one's fellowmen and the whole world, so does the happiness increase. The greatest happiness comes to one when self is entirely forgotten. Love is the only power in the world that Can bring this The man or woman who loves is planting a seed of happiness which will grow and flowea and perfume all his life. The more he loves the greater will be his happiness.

Even if trouble and sorrow come because of love, still love is the higher and will bring the greater blessing. It is aS far above them as the heavens are above the earth, and It will always lead the spirit from the sordid an wearying cares of earth to the beauty and rest of the realms TomorrowI wilily Troubles. 110.
