FISHERIES DISPUTE
IS SETTLED
Hague Tribunal Decides Five
of Seven Points in Favor
of Uncle Sam
GREAT BRITAIN WINS TWO
One of These Considered the
Most Important of All in
Controversy.

The Hague, Sept. THE century
Old fisheries dispute, source of con-
stant diplomatic friction between the
United States, Great Britain, Canada
and Newfoundland was closed today
with an award of the International
court of arbitration largely in favor
of the United States. The American
government was sustained on five of
the seven points raised by Great
Britain on points one and five. Point
five has been held by the Englishmen
most important of those submitted.
1t involves the three mile limit. The
United States fishermen claimed the
right to take measure from any part
of the British North American shore
and therefore liberty to- fish in the
middle of any Canadian bay or es-
tuary, having a radius of more than
three miles. The British contention
was that the limits should be meas
ured from an imaginary line connect
ing the headlands. The peace court
sustained the British contention.

Mr. Burke has addressed to the Deo-
pie of Santa Fe on the subject:
Santa Fe, n. NJ, Sept. I, 1910.
TO the People of Santa Fe:
By direction of the postoffice depart
ment, the attention of patrons of this
office is invited to the advantages of
providing facilities for the receipt of
their mail by erecting conveniently
accessible boxes or cutting suitable
slots in their doors. Such action
would enable the postmaster to give Ii
more prompt and better delivery serv-
ice with the means at his disposal
since the carriers can cover much
more territory in less time if not com.
PEELED to wait for an answer to their
ring. Private receptaces for mail
are also great convenience to the
householder, obyiating the necessity
of responding to the carriers call at
inconvenient moments and permitting
the safe delivery of mail in the aD-
sence of members of the household
They also prevent the occasional nee
essity of a carriers proceeding on his
route without delivering mail because
of failure to answer his ring within
a reasonable time, and enable him to
make deliveries to patrons living on
or near the end of the route at an ear
lier hour.
1t has been shown by actual exper.
ience that the benefits derived by
patrons Of city delivery from the use
OF such receptacles far outweigh
the small expense involved. As this
office is interested in furnishing the
best possible service at the least ex.
pense, your compliance with the fore
going suggestions will be much appre.
ciated
