Feeling Between Crown and

FRICTION is HEIGHTENED
FISHING AGREEMENT MADE BY
KINGS MINISTER'S WITH UNIT
ED STATES CONTRARY TO THE
NEW FOuNDLAND LAWS.

Washington. D. c., Oct S.-Oficiai
confirmation has reached the state
department from United States Am
bassador Reid, at London, of the ac-
of the modus vivendi which is to
govern the fishing by American fish
eminent off the coast of New Found
land for the present season.
A reported disruption OF the New
Foundland government may. in the
opinion of officials here, have serious.
results 1t is even limited that it may
be but the precursor of movement
for the separation of New Foundland
lose one of its troublesome but valu-
able assets.
In the fishing disputes between
Newfoundland and the United States
the British government, has been
placed in most embarrassing post
ton. The New Foundland government
has been trying for some years, by
the adoption of inimical legislation,
to absolutely destroy all the rights of
American fishermen which were guar
anteed by the treaty of 1918. The
British government has been trying
to act fairly in hereinafter with the
United States while at the same
time desiring to do nothing to offend
or ALLEVIATE the New Foundlanders.
The particular reasons that are
now impelling the merchant class, in
control of the New Foundland govern
ment, to threaten it's disruption are
that the modus vivendi, agreed to by
Great Britain, contains provisions
that American fishermen may use
purse seines which they claim to be
necessary for successful fishing, and
that they may employ New Foundland
fishermen. Both of these things are
expressly prohibited by laws passed
by the New Foundland legislature
That the home government, in Lon
don. should over reach their local
laws is CALLING to the New Foundland
ers- They know, too, that Great Brit
ain will never resort to force again
to keep one of her colonies, that so
desires, from asserting her independ-
ence so the New Foundlanders are
acting in very arrogant fashion.

MOTHER SAVES HER BABE NO TURKISH AMBASSADOR
WAS SNATCHED OFF TRACK
Monster Engine Was Bearing Down
on the Little One, at the Rate of
Fifty Miles an Hour-Fireman Was
Ready to Risk His Life.

Marion, Ind, Oct. s. (Spl.)-While
Mrs. John Lafferty,. of this city, was
visiting in Herbst yesterday, she
barely saved the life of her three
year-old daughter. who escaped from
the yard at the home in which she
was visiting. The child sat down in
the middle of the Toledo, ST. Louis &
Western railroad tracks, where she
played with the pretty little stones
that she found in abundance.
The whistle of an approaching
train caused the mother to think of
her daughter, whom she saw sitting
on the track. The fireman on the To-
connective also saw the child as the
train rounded curve and was bear.
ing down on il AT the rate of fifty
miles an hour. II was impossible ito
stop the train and the fireman hur-
riedly climbed out of his cab and
made his way to the pilot for the pur-
pose of attempting to rescue it.
The mother. unmindful of danger
ran to the little girl. sliced her and
leaped from the track just as the
train went laundering past. The
force of the train almost swept Mrs
Lafferty from her feet. but she es-
capped uninjured and saved her
daughter.
The name of the fireman who at
tempted to save the child. and would
probably have done so. is unknown,
but Mr.. Lafferty is making an effort
to learn his name and will reward
him for his heroic effort
