and instructors. left st. Louis Tonight
after q three days session, condemning
the tipping system" The system had
landed not lightly on many of them and
they were not averse to talking about it,

University Of Illinois, and head of the
Economists, who wants the United
States government to give monetary aid

COURT ExONERATES BARLOW
Acceptance Of Valueless Bail
Bonds Merely a Mistake.

Magistrate Barlow was exonerated by
the Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court of the charges preferred by District
Attorney Whitman, under instructions from
Governor Hughes. that he had accepted
valueless bail bonds for three men who
were arrested for stealing $4,000 worth OF
merchandise In Boston.
The prisoners, Joseph Goldberg. Jacob
Goldberg and Harris Rothstein. were
charged with burglary. and were remanded
for forty-eight hours. Bail Of $4,000 for
each prisoner was asked, but 5000 for
each was accepted by the magistrate. The
prisoners disappeared, and then 1t was
found that the bail bonds were not good.
The defence of Magistrate Barlow was
that he believed that the bondsmen had
sufficient equity in the property that they
offered for security. He said he had no
acquaintance with the bondsmen, and their
names did not appear on the list OF unit
bondsmen issued by the District Attorney
The magistrate declared he acted in entire
good faith.
The Appellate Division held unanimously
there was no evidence that any influence
had been exerted in behalf of the prison
ers or that the magistrate intentionally
any statutory provision or Vio-
lated any duty imposed on him. The court
said that many thousand prisoners were
brought before the magistrates ana they
were required to act summary ana oAleh
with great expedition. Under the clrcuih-
stances mistakes might often occur, ana

Jersey City on evidence that he had haIlu-
cinations resulting from alcoholic excesses
Mr.. Simpson said yesterday he would have
made the application two weeks ago, but for
an assurance from a relative Of Bedle that
the young man would be set free without
legal pressure. But his client, O'Donnell,
had insisted upon yesterdays proceeding
1t is said Bedle's friends feared that liberty
during the holidays would expose him to
dangerous temptation.

NEW FISHERY CONFERENCE
Representatives of Three Gov
ernments Will Meet Next Month.
FOLLOWING HAGUE DECISION
Settlement of Question Will
Clear Way for Annexation of
Newfoundland by Canada.
TFrom The Tribune Burea u.

Washington, Dec. 30-Preparations have
been practically completed for taking up,
in connection with the Canadian rec1proc-
ity negotiations next month, the question
of the Newfoundland fisheries regulations,
which were referred to a special commits
sion by the court of arbitration at The
Hague in its decision in the North Atlantic
coast fisheries case. 1t Is the aim or the
three governments, the United States,
Newfoundland and Canada, to settle the
difficulties In connection with the reguia-
tions among themselves, il possible, MAX
ing 1t unnecessary to appoint the commis-
sion called for by The Hague court Ihe
settlement Of these minor problems by such
a body would be a long and expensive
procedure, and 1t is the belief Of the offl-
Gals of the three governments that they
may be disposed Of directly, now that the
main questions relating to the fisheries
have been decided b.. the international
tribunal.
The regulations to be considered are
those which are held to restrict unneceS-
sarily the activities of the American fish
ermen, such as the prohibition Of fishing
on Sunday, the use OF travis in certain
waters along the coast, and the use OF
certain appliances and methods OF fishing
which have not been taken up in New
foundIand, although they are commonly in
vogue almost everywhere else. 1t is not
expected that any serious obstacles will
arise to prevent the modification of the
Objectionable regulations to the satisfac-
ton of the fishermen of the United States,
as well as those of Canada and New
foundland.
BY far the most important effect OF TINS
final settlement of the fisheries question
will be the clearing Of the way for the
absorption of Newfoundland by the Domin-
ion Of Canada. At present Newfoundland
is independent except for its allegiance to
Great Britain, and maintains its own gov
ernme1t, as does Canada The fisheries
difficulty has been the most serious, If not
the only obstacle in the way Of the an
neXation of the smaller country by the
Dominion. Popular opinion has been much
ir favor of such q move and interest in 1t
has been reawakened, now that the fish
cries problem is about to be settled.
No time has actually been set for the
resumption of reciprocity negotiations with
the Canadian representatives The British
Ambassador will arrive in Washington to-
morrow. and it is expected that an agree
ment on the programme will be reached
within the next day or two. The Canadian
representatives will at least arrive in time
for the diplomatic reception on January 10,
SO 1t is probable that the conference win
begin soon after that date.

HOXSEY UP 1O,575 FEET
Fails to Exceed Own Mark, but
Sets Time Record.

Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 3o.-Fearing that
through some technical error or oversight
the height record Of II, ,474 feet which he
made last Monday might not stand, Arch
Hoxsey. the California aviator, scared into
the air to-day and broke all the worlds
altitude records but his own.
The two Paragraphs he carried registered
height Of 1850 feet. This is nearly 1000
feet under the worlds mark he established
Monday, but 1t is 70 feet above the record Of
Legagneux, made at Pau, France, short
time ago.
A new record must. however. exceed the
former mark by at least 300 feet. There
fore. if the International Federation Of Aero
Clubs refuses to recognize Hoxsey's feat
of Monday the Californian will lose the
glory and prizes which aggregate nearly
5000.
Nevertheless, through to-day's perform
ance he will have the satisfaction of know
ing that he holds the American endurance
record. He was in the air to-day three
hours and seventeen minutes, or eight min
utes longer than A. l.. WEIGH.
