FISHERIES DISPUTE
GOING TO HAGUE
Arbitration VIII Decide
Clash With New
fOundland.

THE HAGUE, Aug. Z.-Delegates to
the peace conference are much i'm
pressed by cable dispatches from Lon
don which state that the NewfOund-
land fisheries dispute. by far the most
important question suggested for settle
ment at The Hague, will be placed be-
fore the peace conference. The fisheries
dispute Is a delicate matter, embodying
the question OF State rights. besides
other matters of equal Importance.
America VIII be responsible for Civ
ing the question to the conference. Am
bassador Reid has been in correspond
ence with the British foreign Office con-
corning this question for some time, and
while reserve is maintained ii s un-
questionably decided to settle the diff
Guilty at The Hague.
The American Government proposed
that for another year. while the mat
ter was being arbitrated, the fisheries
snail be conducted under the same
modus vivendi as last year. There Is
some delay. but little doubt that the
agreement will not be accepted
The proposition submitted to the con-
ference by America and Germany for
a permanent court OF arbitration is not
acceptable to Brazil and several other
Spanish American countries. Brazil is
not at all pleased with being rated as
a third-class power, while her popula-
ton exceeds that IN a number OF sec
ond-class countries.

Soaring Off Murder
Gus Burglar.

. NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Braving death
to give the alarm that a burglar was
attempting to kill her mother and was
threatening her small brother and sis
ter, eight-year-old Bertha Weidner to-
day proved a heroine.
The burglar forced his way into the
home of Mrs. Ella Weidner, 33S East
Forty-f1fth street, while the mother and
her three children were asleep. Mrs
Weidner awoke to find the man ran
sacking a drawer. She jumped out of
bed to grapple with him, screaming at
the same time. She was cverpowered
and the man strangled her to stop her
cries.
With a knife he threatened them with
death If they made a sound Little
Bertha got into the hall and shouted
an alarm. The burglar had lust time
TO rush out Of the house when help
arrived.
Later Mrs. Weidner identified a man
giving the name Of Frank Doyle as the
burglar, and he was arraigned today in
Norkyille court.

and Public Mind Has Been PrejudiCed
Against It

In view Of recent disclosures and court
relative to the conduct Of
its business by the Standard OIL Com
pany. the directors OF the company have
issued a statement to their employees
and stockholders defending their posi-
ton and pointing out what is In their
Judgment. a series Of inJustices done the

The directors assert their desire 10

for which prosecutions were instituted
in the Federal courts. particularly n
the Chicago and Alton case. which -
suited in the sensational fine OF 49,

years at an open scent rata rate,

three competing raflro ads for from ten
TO fourteen years.

In this connection, the directors say:
1.-THE trial Judge refused TO allow proof
that the scent rate had been fled by

fused TO allow proof that Hnseed or
