A rather interesting conflict has de-
veloped between Icelandic and Eng.
lish fishermen. which may nave to be
settled by an international court of
arbitration An Icelandic fisheries in.
spector shouted to the captain of an
English trawler. the Chieftain, that he
was fishing within the territorial. linn.
its of Iceland. The latter claimed that
he was operating outside the limits.
but the Icelander boarded the trawler
and tried all he could to make the
trawler leave the place. Finally the
trawler did leave the Icelandic waters,
taking the ~Icelandic inspector along to
England, however. Both parties claim
that they are right and it will be up
to an international court to settle the
matter.

entirely with his unpopular statement.
In his lecture Il appears that Nansen
declared that as early as the Seventh
and Eighth century there existed an
Irish myth about an island of grapes
lying six days journey westward into
the great ocean This island was peo-
pied by the dead, who walked about
In white robes. This story, he said,
is the same as "Hvitremannaland' of
the Morse sagas and Nansen's further
claim is that the story vas picked up
In Ireland by Adam of Bremen and
made use of in his story of the Morse
men and their travels. Altogether
Adam of Bremen cannot, according to
hansen, be relied upon. On the other
hand, hansen admitted that 1t was not
altogether unreasonable to suppose
that the N~orwegians had reached the
American shore from their settlements
in Greenland, but the voyages of Left,
he claims, as related in the Icelandic
sagas, are only fakes. The Norwegians
are up in arms against hansen. One
of those among the many prominent
men who have taken a decided issue
with hansen is Professor Alexander
Bugge, who supports the contention of
the sagas, and Bugge, who is an his
torian and al expert on Morse saga
literature, is fully equipped to take up
the discussion with DR.. hansen, who
has spent most of his time upon the

CLAIMS HE WAS SWINDLED.
Georgetown Hotel Man Complains
of Men With Whom He Dealt.

Detectives Pratt and Hewlett are inves<
tigating a complaint made yesterday By
Benjamin LenovitZ, proprietor OF th{
Farmers and Merchants Hotel. 1870 d
street, that he had given up 81. 100 to ais
legged swinders with whom he had mcgee
tiated for the sale of his hotel and saloon
business.
1t is believed that the three men came
here from New 4 ork to work the lemon"
game on the hotel man. They probably
knew of the trouble Lenovitz had recently
had in connection with raid made at his
place and thought he would be anxious
TO make a sale.
Lenovitz proved an easy victim. He saw
the three men, one of them giving his
name as Harry Marcus and representing
he was the son of millionaire banker.
He displayed packages which, he said.
contained $4,000 each. He wanted to
present the business to Otto Harris. his
valet, he said, and during the course OF
the transaction Lenovitz put UP the y. 100
as evidence of good faith
When Lenovitz concluded he had been
swindied he called the police to have
the trio arrested. A warrant has been tS-
sued for their arrest and the police are
endeayoring to locate them.

EFFECTIVE FROM THIS TIME.
Decision Regarding the New Build
ing Regulations.

Several builders called at the District
building today to find out whether or not
their building operations would be affect,
ed by the statement published in local
newspaper to the effect that those who
obtained permits prior to November 15s
when the new building regulations went
into effect would have to comply with the
new regulations.
The situation is that from now on all
buildings will have to comply with the
new regulations. which, in effect, ara
framed to encourage the erection of fits-
proof buildings. y,
Many applications were made for per-
mits some time prior to November Is, and
the permits were granted after November
10. To clear up the applications and per-
mits at or near the time the change OF
regulations was made. the Commission
ers waited four months. and now that
there are no pending permits 1t has been
decided that all new buildings must COM
ply with the new regulations.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
EVANSVILLE. Md, February )

Special Correspondence of The Star.
EVANSVILLE, Md, February 5, 1910.
AS the result of the determination of
the officials of the City and Suburban
Electric railway. running between the
Treasury Department Washington, ard
Berwyn, Prince George county. to rigidly
enforce a regulation to the effect that
patrons must present their Communication
books to conductors. several passengers
who have declined TO show these books
have been elected from the company S
cars during the past two or three days.
At the company's office the statement is
made that these books. which are sold
at a rate considerably lower than the
regular fare, are used by various MEM
hers of families, and the practice had
been carried to such an extent that it wa
found necessary to order the conductors
to see that each commuter has his own
book. Prior to the first of the month the
conductors would accept coupons without
requiring the presentation of the book
to which they belonged, and this custom
Lad been prevailing Tor so long a period
that when the conductors demanded the
books the commuters were taken by sur
prise. Written in large red type across
the book is the warning: This book must
be shown the conductor upon demand"
And one OF the provisions coita.ned in
the agreement between the commuter
and the company states that coupons
are not good and will not be accepted for
fare unless passenger presenting same
can show the book cover bearing the
same number as the coupon" And the
coupon says: Not good if detached"
There was nothing to prevent several
persons clubbing together and purchas-
ing one of these books, thereby obtaining
the advantage of the reduced fare, and it
was a common practice for purchasers OF
the books TO take out rides and leave
them home for the use of other men,
bers of the family.

The President of Chile, through Senior
Don Anibal Cruz. the minister from that
country. has rendered an invitation to the
government of the United States to par
ticipate in the ceremonies that will occur
the 18th of next September at Santiago.
In celebrate of the centennial anniversary
of the first act in the series or events
which eliminated in the separation OF
that colony from Spain
In May, 1870 the Spanish captain gem
eral. named Carasco, arrested a number
of the most prominent citizens of Santiago
for manifesting publicly their joy and ap-
prevail over the news from Buenos Aires
that the Spanish governor Of that colony
had been compelled to resign. His act
aroused so much public indignation that
Carasco was compelled to abdicate his
office and a iunta of citizens was APP
pointed to govern the country until the
18th of September, 1912. little more
than two years alter under the leadership
of Ambrose O'Higgins. the people OF
Chile proclaimed their declaration of in
dependence of the Spanish crown
Ambrose O'Higgins, as his name would
suggest, was of Irish birth but had come
to South America at an early age. settled
in Chile. and by his brilliant ability and
force of character became one of the
most influential men in that colony. He
was among the citizens who were arrested
and imprisoned by Carasco for rejoicing
over the rebellion of Buenos Aires; he
was a member of the junta which gov
erned the country during the interim. and
continued to be the leader of the move
ment for independence until his death.
when his son took his place and proved
as patriotic, as able and as influential as
the father.
