To Fish for Herring Off
Bay Of Islands Coast.
Presidents Attention Called to
Violation Of Treaty Rights.

Gloucester, Mass, Oct. 12.-This city
WIS seriously disturbed, today by the
receipt Of private dispatches to vessel
owners from captains at Bay of Is
lands. \. F., saying that the cruiser
Fiona, with the minister of marine and
fisheries, has arrived at the Bay of Is
lands from st. Johns, and had forbid
den al vessels with American register
to fish for herring there notwithstand-
ing their hitherto undisputed treaty
rights.
1t is believed that the success which
the Gloucester cod fishing interests has
met with in the past summer in spite
Of the retaliatory bait act passed by
New FOundland in the spring, has led
to additional hostility on the part of
the New Foundland fishermen.
In fishing circles some such step was
anticipated especially as reports had
reached here that Sir Robert Bond, the
premier contends that the right to fish
on the west coast of New FoundIand,
under the treaty of 1918 does not mean
that the Americans may fish in the in
lets and harbors Of the coast.
Still 4 number Of vessels recently
sailed from here for the usual fall fish

position i'll the New Foundland Parlia-
ment. in reply to Sir Robert Bonds
contention that the theory changed the
Interpretation which had been put upon
the treaty for nearly 80 years.
Gloucester shippers for some time
past have reported to owners here that
New Foundlandcrs were hostile and
that it was openly stated that they
were receiving support from parties in
this country interested in the develop
ment of the island.
In this connection also the famous
Fortune Bay riot of some years ago,
when the natives tore uD nets of the
American fishermen, fishing there un-
der treaty rights and drove off the fish
ermen with firearms, is recalled and it
is feared that similar trouble may come
now. On this account several vessels
now ready to sail for New Foundland
fishing grounds will be held here pend

ident Roosevelt, today appealing to
him TO point out to the New Foundland
government the alleged violation of the
treaty.

PREFERRED DEATH
To Facing Charge Of
Robbing an Estate.
Armitage Mathews, New York,
Prominent in Politics,
Jumps from Window TO Pavement, Fractures
Skull and Soon Dies.

New York, Oct. 12.-Rather than face
trial on the indictments charging him
with fraudulently taking money from
the Weissel estate, Armitage Mathews,
lawyer and secretary of the county Re
publican committee, committed suicide,
today, by jumping from window in
court yard. He struck on his head, frac-
turing the skull and died in "a short
time.
Mathews, who was young man, had
advanced rapidly both in the practice
of his profession and in politics. He
was friend of Former Gov. Gov. Black
and of Abraham Gruber and they were
loyal to him in his trouble, acting as
legal advisers and doing all they could
to aid him to obtain the change of We
nue. from this county, for which he
applied. The change Of Venue was de-
MED, yesterday, and the trial of the
case was set for today before Justice
Davy in the criminal branch of the SUI
preme court.
Early this morning. Mathews received
a special delivery letter. After reading
it, his hOusekeeper heard him go to a
bathroom and open q window. A few
seconds later, ne jumped to his death.
A doctor was hurriedly summoned, but
could do nothing and Mr.. Mathews died
in a few minutes.
Armitage Mathews was indicted, last
May. on charges of conspiracy and
grand larceny growing out of the loot
ing of the Weisscl estate, of which
David Rothchild. wrecker of the Fed
eral Bank, was administrator. The
district attorney intended to try Math-
ews first on the conspiracy indictment
and follow with the larceny charge
whether he was convicted on the first
count or not.
Rothchild. John w Wooten and Law
yer Samuel l.. Ferguson were all in
dicted with Mathews on the same
charges.
Mathews was the local representa-
tive and secretary of the Bankers Sure
ty Co. of Cleveland. which was on
Rothschild's bond for 100000 as admin
istrator of the Weissel estate. 1t was
agreed by the four accused men, ac-
cording to the indictment. that Roths
child was to have sole possession of the
estate and that whatever money he
borrowed on it was to be shared by his
Mathews came into political promi-
prominence as a supporter of Abraham
Gruber when that leader was strug-
Cling to control the 10Th Assembly dis
trict in Republican councils.
He was appointed an assistant attor-
ney by w. NJ. X. Olcott in 1896. He re-
manned in the office until Asa Bird
Gardner was elected. The following
year, Mr.. Mathews was elected a MEM
Der of the board of aldermen and con-
tinued as a member for three terms.
Two years ago, Mathews was made
secretary of the county Republican
committee.
A member Of the district attorneys
staff said, today, that Mathews sui
cide would save a lot of revelations
concerning other persons which the
trial would have brought out.
The courtroom of the criminal branch
Of the supreme court was crowded. to-
day, when the case against Mathews
was called ana Assistant District At
torney Rand informed the court that
there was no longer any such case; that
Mathews was dead. The jury was then

Bankers Association Puts
Itself SQuare|y on Record
As Favoring That Way Of Up
building Merchant Marine.
Will Use Influence to Secure Passage Of
Ship Subsidy Bill.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE American
Association of Bankers today, put it
self squarely on record as faVoring
government subsidies for the up
building of the American merchant
marine. Resolutions reviewing the
growth of American commerce and the
decline in American shipping, and
pledging the association to throw the
weight of it's influence towards the en-
actment of a ship subsidy law were
presented by the executive council of
the association and adopted by a ris-
ing vote in which it was estimated
that three quarters of the delegates
took the affirmative side.
The second days session of the con-
vention occupied three hours and was
devoted to the transaction of such
business as was contained in the re-
port of the executive council, besides
addresses and discussion interesting
and instructive on various phases of
banking. The report of the currency
committee was received but no action
taken thereon. The report followed the
suggestion made yesterday, by Secre-
tary Shaw in his address before the
convention for an emergency currency
Former RepresentatiN Pugsley Of
Peakskill, n. Y, who submitted the
report expressed the opinion that Con-
gress would enact financial legislation
if the bankers presented Il united de-
mand for some specific measure. The
report outlined several changes in the
system which it might be advisable 10
make by legislation.
