ROOT GOING TO HAGUE
H'M Be Counsel for L. S. in
Fisheries arbitration.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Eli1u
Root will represent the United States as
special counsel in the highly important
arbitration proceedings which are to de-
fine the meaning of the provisions of the
Treaty of 1915 with regard TO the New
foundland fisheries. Mr.. Root has ac-
cepted this important and onerous duty
only at the urgent solicitation Of Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary Knox, who are
convinced that because of the part
played by the former Secretary of State
in the negotiations preliminary to the
arbitration, his great ability and his
complete familiarity with the case it
would be impossible 10 obtain other
equally competent counsel.
Mr. Root will undertake Immediately
the preparation Of the written argument,
which must be filed at an early day, and
he will lead in the oral argument before
the Hague tribunal, which will begin
about June / He will have as associ-
ate counsel Chandler Anderson, whom,
as secretary, he retained for the prepa-
rations of the compromise.
The Newfoundland fisheries case is
probably the most important ever in
trusted TO settlement by arbitration, and
is unquestionably the most important
from the point Of view Of this country
since the settlement of the Alabama
claims by arbitration al Geneva.
The announcement that Mr.. Root is TO
represent the United States at The
Hague will arouse speculation as to
whether he will also be able to serve on
the Ballinger- -Pinchot investigating COM
Inttee His resignation from that com
nlittee would cause profound regret.

TERRIBLE "SKIT" DUNCAN TAME
 IN THE TOLLS
Complains that Police Play Favorites As He Is Taken
 from Eight or Nine
But In City Court He Is Fined $5, Which His Moth
 CT Pays for Him

Robert Dunigan, a neatly clad, mild hammered, soft spoken man of 21. un- der the watchful escort of his mother would have been singled out as the terrible "Skit" Dunigan. whose exploits of fearlessness and might have been discussed throughout the length and breadth of East Bridgeport for several years. not to snention the frequent uprisings in which Skit figured dur ing the summer season at Meadows End.
 Policeman Malone was standing at Shelton and Pembroke street at l this morning when on the stiffness of the night air there was waited to him the strain of Farewell Farewell. My Own True Love-, rendered by a male chorus whose barber shop chords were cal- culated to awaken the slumberfng quiet of the vicinity for many blocks around.
 Malone started in the direction Of the sound on the run. But he found to his astonishment that the sound came. not from a nearby corner, but from East Main street between Barnum avenue and East Washington avenues. There were half a dozen on the spot He nabbed "Skit" Dunigan.
 "Why, Judge, there were eight or nine of us" declared Skit. indignant ly at the thought of his having been selected as a mark.
 He pushed them all one side until he got hold of me"
 It might be remarked in passing that the policemen have long known that Skit has made his boast that he could eat cops without even waiting to put salt on them.
 Give a man the name of early ri5- ing and he can lay abed till noon, sighed Mrs. Dunigan. as she counted out five hard earned dollars to pay for Skit's fine.
 Skft has not been doing much work since the season closed at Meadows End. He attended social event last night and the home coming was de- layed by frequent rehearsaIs of var ious songs in which Skft thought he eXcelled.
