OFFICIALS ADMIT DEFEAT
IN THE FISHERIES CASE
Washington Regards Decision as
British Victory

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA substan-
tial victory for Great Britain in per-
haps the two most important points,
a consolatory triumph for the United
States in the other five points with a
prospect of another arbitration later
at the instance of the United States
government, is the way the decision of
The Hague tribunal in the Newfound-
land fisheries case is viewed here. The
decision eliminates the right of the
United States to share in the making
and enforcement Of reasonable reg
ulations' governing the fisheries in the
disputed territory, and 1t is that quail
ifcation reasonable" that may per-
NIT this government to reopen the
question.
The state department has not been
officially advised of the decision and
therefore declines to comment upon it.
The treaty of 1918, around which the
whole controversy revolves, declares
the United States right to take, dry
and cure fish on these coasts and to
"dry and cure" only on any of the
unsettled bays, harbors and creeks on
the rest Of the southern Newfoundland
and Labrador coasts.
Under the treaty Great Britain con-
ceded the rights just mentioned and
the United States renounced any claim
to "cure, take and dry fish" within the
three-mile limit not included In this
specified territory

CLEVER PAIR ROB
A FAIR ANGELENO
Mrs. M. C. Roe Loses Jewels but
Gets Them Back-Friends
Are Arrested

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 7.-As a result of
the wiles of a clever couple. Mrs. NJ
C. Roe, an attractive Los Angeles
woman, was temporarily deprived of
her watch. valuable diamond brooch
and other jewelry yesterday. She now
has them back, and William Mair is
under arrest here and his alleged sis
ter Is in durance at Riverside.
Mrs. Roe took the Saturday steamer
at San Pedro to come here to visit
friends. On the steamer the Mairs met
her and an acquaintance was formed.
Monday night she visited the Mairs
at a local hotel There she intrusted
her jewelry to him for repairs. Mrs.
Roe passed the night at the hotel.
When she awakened she found this
note under the door:
"You may as well go back home, as
Billy belongs to me. You are simply
the fall guy of couple of clever
swindlers. Your diamond brooch
looked good to us on the boat. Hence
the play. Demand credentials from
strangers you meet. Much obliged for
the dough. Billy and 1 are off for
MexicoAEdith and Billy"
She reported the matter to the police.
Mair's arrest followed late last night.
The woman's apprehension in River
side was due to telegram which Mair
sent her this morning. The detectives
saw Mair has made a clean breast of
the entire affair. In any event, search
of local pawnshops has produced Mrs.
Roe's missing brooch and gems.

j. s. IS LOSER AND
WINNER At HAGUE
America Scores 5 Points in 7 of
Fisheries Dispute but Loses
important Ones
CAssocIated Press

THE HAGUE, Sept THE century
old fisheries dispute, the source of
constant diplomatic friction between
the United States, Great Elm, Can
ada and Newfoundland, was closed to-
day with the award of the interna-
tionaI court of arbitration largely in
favor of the United States.
The American government is sus-
tanned on points 2, 8, 4, 6 and T. out
of the total of the seven points in
which the issue was framed. Great
Britain wins on questions and 5.
While the United States triumphs
on five Of the seven points, point 5, de-
cided in favor of Great Britain, has
been held by Englishmen as the most
important of those submitted This
was stated in the form of this ques-
ton:
From where must be measured three
marine miles of any of the coasts,
bays, creeks or harbors referred to
in article 1 of the American British
treaty of 1882"
United States fishermen claimed the
right to take the measure from any
part of the British-North American
shore, and therefore the liberty to fish
in the middle of any Canadian bay
or estuary having a radius of more
than three miles.
The British contention was that the
limit should be measured from an
imaginary line connecting the head
lands. The peace court sustained the
British contention.

ENVOY Of Plus X,
SUFFERS COLLAPSE
POpe'S Representative at EuCha-
riSt Congress at Montreal
Has to Leave Reception
REFUSES MEDICAL ATTENTION
Cardinal Declares He Is Only
Tired-Many Engagements
of Nuncio Broken
ASSOCIATED Press,

MONTREAL, Sept. 7.-Cardinal Van
nutelli, the aged representative of
Plus x at the eucharistic congress,
tainted tonight in the midst CT a brill
liant reception given In his honor by
the Canadian government.
There were 1000 persons In the great
drawing room of the Windsor hotel
when Sir Charles Murphy. the secre-
tary Of state, caused the announce
ment to be made that the prelate was
unable to continue the reception.
Half an hour later, however, the
legate said he was quite himself again
and wished to return to the drawing
room.
But Mr.. Guerin, mayor of the city,
advised him to abandon the reception,
and he was taken to the Episcopal
palace. Several physicians offered
their services, but to all the prelate
said In broken English: 'I am just
tired, that is all. You would not have
q young man like me to be frightened
In the presence Of my colleague, Car
dinal I.ogue."
Cardinal Vannutelli had received
perhaps 1900 persons when he col
lapsed. He had Intended to attend a
night service at Notre Dame, and the
structure was packed to its capacity
about $4,000 persons-and 5000 more
were gathered outside when word
came the cardinal would be unable to
be present.
TO CANCEL ENGAGEMENTS
Mgr. Bruchesi also intimated 1t
might be necessary to cancel several
of tho minor engagements of the le-
gate, for it was evident his strength
was being taxed.
The social features OF the congress
were hegun this afternoon with a
luncheon given by the provincial gov
ernment. Sir Lomer Gouin. premier
of Quebec, presided. Cardinal Vannu-
telli, Cardinal Logue and Mgr. Bru-
chest sat on dias, and about them,
arrayed In their purple robes. were
archbishops and bishops from all parts
of the world.
After luncheon q crowd of men and
women, among them laborers from
the streets, broke the guard lines and
interrupted the progress of the pre-
lates from the main hall to the car
riage entrance. The papal legate in
sisted on standing in the midst of the
crowd. He spoke for about five min
utes, shook hands with the laborers
and gave them his blessing. When he
had gone the crowd turned their at
tention to the other visiting prelates.
Archbishop O'Connell was forced to
make a speech in Italian, and Cardi-
nal Logue, to please a group of Irish
Canadians, spoke in Gaelic. Archbishop
Glennon of st. Louis was halted by
200 women until he gave them his
blessing. At another entrance Mgr.
Touchsel, bishop of Orleans, addressed
a crowd estimated at 5000.

CARDINAL IMPRESSED BY
NON-CATHOLICS' ATTITUDE

MONTREAL, Sept. 7.-Cardinal
Vannutelli of Rome has been pro-
foundly impressed by the extraord1-
nary enthusiasm manifested by visit
ors to the eucharistic congress here.
The cardinal today requested the As
sociated Press to make known his ap-
probation.
"I am almost overcome by the de-
votion and the loyalty of the Cath
olics who have assembled here" he
said, "and have noted the cordial at
titude of those who are not of our
faith. Say for me that 1 shall not
fail to make this known to the holy
father"

been nominated in the La Toilette
state ticket for attorney general, by
a plurality of 100000

idea in view of having the state CEN

lection has been made on the part
of carriers. They contend that this
would be, in effect, to take from
owners of the railroads the man
agement of their properties and to
clothe the interstate commerce COM
mission with the original rate max
ing power-a policy which was
much discussed at the time of the
passage of the Hepburn act in
1866, which was then, and has
been, distinctly rejected, and in
reply to the suggestion that they
are able, by resorting to the courts,
to stay the taking effect of the or
der of the commission until its rea-
sonableness shall have been inves-
tigated by the courts, whereas the
people are deprived of any such
remedy with respect to action by
the carriers, they point to the
provision of the interstate commerce
act providing for restitution to the
shippers by carriers of excessive
rates charged in cases where the
order of the commission reducing
such rates are affirmed. 1t may
be doubted how effective this rem
edy is.
l therefore recommend that the
interstate commerce commission be
empowered, whenever any proposed
increase of rates is filed, at once,
either on complaint or of it's own
motion, to enter upon an investi-
cation into the reasonableness OF
such change, and that it be further
empowered in it's discretion to post
pone the effective date of such pro-
posed increase for period OF
exceeding sixty days beyond the
| date when such rate would take
effect If, within that time, it shall
determine that such increase is UNI
reasonable, it may then, by its or
der, either forbid the increase al
all or fix the maximum beyond
which it shall not be made If
on the other hand at the ex
piration of this time, the commits
sion shall not have completed its
investigation, then the rate shall
take effect precisely as it would
under the existing law, and the
commission may continue its inves

TAFT'S MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS

omission to quote the proper rate,
or in consequence of a misstate-
ment of the rate, the carrier shall
be liable to a penalty in some rea-
sonable amount, say $3.50, to ac-
crue to the United States and to
he recovered in civil action
Sssaght by the appropriate district
attorney. Such penalty would
compel the agent of the carrier to
exercise due diligence in quoting
the applicable legal rate and would
thus afford the shipper real meas
ure of protection, while not opening
the way to collision and the CIV
ing of rebates or other unfair dis
elimination.
Under the existing law the COM
mission may not investigate an
increase in rates until after it
shall have become effective; and
although one or more carriers may
file with the commission proposed
increase in rates or change in clas-
sifications, or other alterations OF
the existing rates or classifications'
to become effective at the expiration
of thirty days from such filing, nc
proceeding can be taken until after
it becomes operative. On the 9TH
er hand, If the commission shall
make an order finding that an ex'
listing rate is excessive and direct
ing it to be reduced, the carrier
affected may, by proceedings IN
the courts, stay the operation 81
such order or reduction for months
and even years.
1t has therefore been suggested
that the commission should be EN-
powered, whenever proposed in
crease in rates is filed, at once tx
enter upon an investigation of, tn,
~easonableness of the increase ant
to make an order postponing tb'
effective date of such increase un
til after such investigation shall

tigation with such results as might
be realized under the law as it
now stands.
The claim is very earnestly. adj
vanced by some large associations
of shippers, that shippers of freight
should be empowered to direct the
route over which their shipment
should pass to destination, and in
this connection it has been urged
that the provisions of section Is of
the interstate commerce act, which
now empowers the commission, af-
ter hearing on complaint, to estab-
|lish through routes and maximum
joint rebates to be charged, ETC.,
when no reasonable or satisfactory
through route shall have been al
ready established, be amended so as
to empower the commission to take
such action, even when one exist
ing reasonable and satisfactory
route already exists, if it be posi-
BILE to establish additional routes.
This seems to me to be reasona-
BILE provision. l know of no rea-
son why shipper should not have
the right to elect between two or
more established routes as to which
the initial carrier may be a party
and to require his shipment to be
transported to destination over
such route or routes as he may
designate for that purpose. How
ever, in the exercise of this right,
the shipper should be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the
interstate commerce commission
may prescribe.
The republican platform of 1908
declared in favor of amending the
interstate commerce law but 80 as
always to maintain the principle of
competition between naturally COM
peting lines and avoiding the COM
mon control of such lines by any
means whatsoever. One of the
most potent means of exercising
such control has been through the
holding of stock of one railroad
company by another company own
ling a competing line. This condi
ton has grown up under express
Legislative power conferred by the
laws of many states, and to at
tempt now suddenly to reverse that
Ipolicy SO far as it affects the own
ership of stocks heretofore so ac
quired would be to inflict a griev
Gus injury not only upon the cor
porations affected, but upon large

Following the sugar trust deci-
sion, however, there have come
along in the slow but certain
course of judicial disposition, cases
involving a construction of the
antitrust statute, and its applica-
ton, until now they seem to en-
brace every phase of that law
which can be practically present
ed to the American public, and to
the government for action They
show that the antitrust act has a.
wide scope and applies to many
combinations in actual operation,
rendering them unlawful and sub
ject to Indictment and restraint. -.
Generally, in the industrial COM
binations called trusts the prin-
cipa1 business is the sale of goods
in the many states and in foreign
markets; in other words, the inter-
state and foreign business far ex-
coed the business done by any one
state. This fact will justify the
federal government in granting a
federal charter to such a combina-
ton to make and sell, in inter-
state and foreign commerce, the
products of useful manufacture, I'M
der such limitations as will secure
compliance with the antitrust
law. 1t is possible so to frame
statute that, while it offers protec-
ton to federal company against
harmful, vexatious and unnecessary
invasion of the states, 1t shall SUBJ
Ject it to reasonable taxation and
control by the states with respect
to its purely local business.
| therefore recommend the en-
actment by congress of general
law providing for the formation of
corporations to engage in trade and
commerce among the states and
with foreign nations, protecting
them from undue interference by
the states and regulating their
activities so as to prevent the re-
currence, under national auspices.
of those abuses which have arisen
under state control. Such a law
should provide for the issue of
stock of such corporations to an
amount equal only to the cash paid
in on the stock; and If the stock
be issued for property then at
/ fair valuation, ascertained under
approval and supervision of federal
authority, after full and com
plete disclosure of all the facts per-
tanning to the value of such prop
erty and the interest therein of the
persons to whom it is proposed to
issue stock in payment of such
property only of such corporations
to the same taxation as is imposed
by the states, within which it may
be situated, upon other similar
property located therein, and it
should require such corporations to
!, file full and complete reports of
, their operations with the depart
, ment of commerce and labor at reg
ular intervals.
! Corporations organized under this
act should be prohibited from ac-
curing and holding stock in other

sons upon approval by the proper
