of each month in four different meet

SEARCH LIGHT
WAR ON THE
FISHERMEN

cries in Newfoundland are referred TO by
George w. Field, chairman. and John w.
Delano OF the Massachusetts, Fish Com
mission. who returned yesterday. from an
investigation Of the subject at the Bay OF
Islands. Newfoundland.
The commissioner say that conditions
IN Newfoundland are extremely compli-
Gated. They find that the purpose OF New
~foundland Is not alone retaliation for the
exclusion Of dry and sailed fish from
United States ports, but is more directly
for the purpose OF controlling Newfound-
fisheries in the interests OF New
~foundland merchants by refusing shing
rights 20 the Americans.
The commissioners a a conference at
North Sydney with the captains OF the
various Massachusetts, vessels I'm the har-
Dor who were bound for the Bay OF ISL
ands. and advised that the vessels here
after come equipped with men and gear
So fficient 20 catch fish without depending
upon the Newfoundlanders for assistance
or for fish for bait. and thereby eliminate
the necessity OF making a landing.
The commissioners found no evidence
that the Newfoundland authorities con-
template the prohibition Of fishing by
Massachusetts, vessels. but that their In
tention evidently Is to drow the line
strictly TO the guaranteed rights. namely,
TO enter harbors and bays. TO catch fish
and for the purpose of shelter, for repair
ing damage. purchasing wood and obtain
ing water, but for no other purpose. In
closing the commissioners say:
IF the Newfoundland fishermen are not
permitted 10 sell their herring they will
not allow h Nova Scotian and Yankee
vessels 10 catch herring in their own front
yards so 20 speak. and seines may be
destroyed under cover OF darkness.
Realizing this, the captains Of the yes
sells at Sydney have petitioned the British
authorities asking that a warship may be
stationed at the Bay OF Islands for their
protection. They recognize that the
, earchlights are all that is necessary to
preserve peace"

RAILROAD TRACK EXTENSION.
PETITIONS HEARD TODAY

The city council committee on railroads
had a hearing this afternoon on two pro-
posed extensions OF car tracks. The
meeting was at 2:90. and the first business
was the petition for the extension OF a
spur track for a coal company on Aliens
avenue.
A matter which did attract n lot Of
interest. however. was the continued hear
ing for the extension OF the Rhode Island
company's rails on Thayer street and
Waterman street.
This is the connection with the Paw
tucket car lines and takes a new section
OF country, untouched by street car lines.
The people in the proposed extension dis
trict are very anxious for It. although
some east siders object to the Pawtucket
car lines through there. The latter class
are chiefly from Waterman and Angel
