Gloucester Fishermen Much Interest
ed in Newfoundland Report.

ed in Newfoundland Report.
Gloucester, Mass.-The fishing own
ers were much interested in the report
that was circulated that Newfoundland
had receded from its hard and fast
position relating to the embargo OF
purse seines on the treaty coast OF
Newfoundland,
A large fleet of vessels, 60 in mum
ber, is now being fitted here to pursue
the herring fishery, all being provided
with purse seines, with which their
crews propose to catch their own fish
1t is stated that overtures have been
received in W. shington coming from
the Newfoundland government, that
the latter will not proclaim the foreign
fishing vessels act of 1906, but will al.
low matters to go on as in previous
years providing the United States
vessels will fOrego the use of the purse
seine on the treaty coast.

man Gardner, have been hastily sum-
moned to Washington in connection
with this matter. Contirmatory ad-
vices from Washington on the subject
are awaited with much interest.
Under the old method Of procuring
these herring cargoes the native fisher
men caught the fish, using their own
boats and nets, and sold them to the
American fleet at so much per barrel
This has always proved mutually salts
factory, and most of the owners here
are perfectly willing to go back to the
old order of things.
The fleet of 60 vessels, the largest
ever engaged in the fishery, fitted with
purse seines, it is thought would
catch the fish in such quantities as to
glut the market and make the business
improbable. However, now that the
state department has laid down its
ruling that under the treaty Of 1918
American vessels may seine herring
or any other fish off the treaty coast
of Newfoundland, some vessel owners
here may decide to catch their own
assistance of the natives.
With the use of purse seines those
nearest the situation here feel that a
nasty complication with the native
fishermen may arise, precisely as 1t
did under similar circumstances which
precipitated the Fortune bay riot, so
called, in the winter of 1873. This the
fish interest here is anxious to avert

chlcann Abandonment

Chicago-Francis A. Cuddihy, who
is said to be a member of a wealthy
family In the east, was recently held
on a charge of wife abandonment.
Mrs. Cuddihy, who preferred the
charge against him, was, she says,
married in 1904. Her name was Lii
lian Hallihan. She says that Cuddihy
left her seven days after the wedding.
She had been unable to ascertain
his whereabouts until she accidentally
met him on the street in Chicago.
Cuddihy declared that his family is
poor, but Mrs. Cuddihy denies this.
She says the family is heavily inter-
ested in stone quarries in Vermont.

A Thorough Job.

In tho cooks absence the young

the considerate mistress. Where do
