TO MEET IN PARIS
THE COMMISSION WILL DISCUSS
THE NORTH SEA INCIDENT.
PERSONNEL OF COMMISSION.
Everything viii Be Done to Expedite
the Inquiry When 1t Is
Once Begun.

Paris. Nov. 5.-Foreign Minister
Delcasse announced to the council Of
ministers yesterday of the approach
ing session Of the Anglo-Russian COM
mission in the North Sea incident.
He said that by the agreement be-
tween both parties, Paris had now
heen formally determined upon for
the sessions Of the commission. These
might begin about Nov. 16 if arrange
ments were possible to secure full
attendance by that time, otherwise the
sessions would open soon after that
date. The commission would be
composed of British. Russian, French
and American admirals, one from each
country, these four to select a fifth
admiral.
These sessions will be held at the
foreign office, probably in the hall of
ambassadors. NJ DelCasse is arrang-
ing to give the commission every IA
ciIity. 1t is the understanding that
the commission will hear oral test-
mony, chiefly that Of the Russian Off
GERS who were detached from their
ships at VigO, and the witnesses VINO
testified at the Hull inquiry.
The desire of the authorities here
is to expedite the inquiry, as it is I'M
derstood to be the wish of all con-
cerned to reach an early decision.
NJ. Delcasse's statement to the min
sters was based upon official advices
showing the present status of the ne
gotiati0ns which continue to open to
modification pending the formal ad
hesion Of both parties to the conyan,
ton. However, as the representa-
tives show that both Great Britain
and Russia are in favor of the seS-
sionS being held in Paris, the officials
here consider that point is settled.
But they recognize that the compost
ton and membership of the commits
sion and other details will not be fin
al until Russia finally accepts the
convention.

CLAIM MILLIONS.
''tie to New York Property Worth
S5O0,0C0,000 Attacked,

New York: Another effort is 10 be
made by eXpeCtant heirs to reclaim a
large strip Of Manhattan Island. The
claimants all reside in Southern states
and number $50. They are headed by
j. T. Cowan Of Dallas, Texas, and are
descendants of Andrew Hartsfeld
who, In 1895, leased to the city Of
New York 100 acres west of Central
Park, between Seventy-third and One
Hundred and Twenty-sixth streets.
This property is estimated today to be
worth $500,00O,OOO
A firm of lawyers has been retained
here, and several we'll known attor-
neys in the South are to assist in the
effort to recover the great fortune
and the heavy rentals due On the
property. COWan claims to have in
his possession the original lease and
scores of letters written and received
by his ancestors relative to the trans
action. The land was leased for a Pc
riod of ninety-n.ne years and a day,
and for consideration Of 81 an acre.
It was to be used for municipal pur-
poses, the original idea being to con-
vert it into a park. Shortly after the
lease was given the Hartsfeld family
removed to Wake county, North Caro-
lima, and now the heirs are found in
six of the Southern states. Among
them are several judges, one United
States senator and twenty-five or
thirty wealthy men. For nearly
week search has been made, but with
out success, through the early records
of the city to find copy of the lease
or some entry showing that it was re-
corded. The heirs declare, however,
that this will not be necessary to their
case and are now trying to procure
from the state records at Albany a
certified copy of the original grant
from Great Britain by which the orig
inal Hartsfeld became the owner OF
the land.
