and Mrs. Day rsadhed their can,c, 3. i
time TO take Christmas dinner ,v,.s h
family. arriving at 1916 this n,ass,s
There was no formal greeting a,r.r..s \
them. but a committee of the sbart 49,
bar. several personal friends ara ~
bers Of their family were at tho s,., ~
meet them.
The judge is in excellent ham
spirits and the trip abroad has ay,a.s.1
been beneficial.
Judge Day, when asked as to his i.
for the future, said he expects to rcn.s.' \

Washington again in connection with -
duties ON that commission Nj
Asked as to whether ne had any lss,.l
which the Suite Of Ohio could sStisfv n
SAID: III ycu refer to political desarss /

Later in the conversation he author~1
the direct statement that under nd r.
cunlEtances would he be candidate n
governor, as has been reported durInr n
absence In Paris.
While he talked freely ON many natsa,|
connected with his work IN PARTS, JudrI
Day did not feel at liberty to give al irtsd
view in detail on the work of the COMM
sion. He said the talk OF S11u, 1000 cor,,,snl
sation for the commissioners, or Of al
sum approaching that amount, was rldlcI
uious and preposterous. The president
fixes the compensation of the commission
cit. and none of them, 1t is safe Ia =
accepted the duties as a speculation NonI
OF them has any idea of large fee sun =
would have been paid had they performeI
the duties in the capacity of regularly ~
tanned attorneys. There is no actual nsl
cedent on which to base an estimate 81
the ppediction is yentured that the coral
pensatton Of the commissioners will nd
exceed $4,000 each and reasonable III
penses incurred on the trip and In pari{
These expenses, however, will not includI
those incurred for the wives and familIe|
OF the attaches OF the commission, bel
cause all ouch went on tho journey entirel}
independent of the commission and wet1
in no way charge upon the official party

In treaty negotiations OF the past-notablj
the Bering sea matter and Mr.. Fo8er'I
work in connection with the China anl
Japan treaty. In Tho case OF Mr. FosteI
there is no parallel to the Paris commis|
siod1. He was retained for a very large feI
to perform certain duties In the case q
the Bering sea, the commissioners wetl

such were paid liberal tees.
A number OF friends have called on Judo
Day since his retaIrn and to them he H.!
talked enltertadntngly. The work st Pen
was felt by the commissioners to b afenI
Gus and left little or no opportunN 81
pleasures which the Judge would have ~
glad to have enjoyed In CITY which ~
pressed him with its beauty and hAtofiI
interest. The French government treete
