Mattice, Ont, Jan. ~. - The
three American naval ba,lconists
who arrived yesterday from Moose
Factory, near where they descend
ed December IA, left tonight for
Cochrane, on the east bound Can
adian national express.
The fight between LieutenantS
Farrell and Hinton shortly after
their arrival yesterday was ascrib-
ed, in statement, to overwrought
minds induced "by their hardships
and gruelling struggles"
The statement, Lieutenant Kloor
said, was prepared by him at the
direction of Hinton and Farrell,
who had mended their differences.
The three officers were together in
the private car of II. B. Way, divi-
sional superintendent of the Cana
dian National railway.
"On several occasions" the
statement said, "after a long and
tiresome walk, one or two of us
would become grouchy and at the
slightest invitation would make a
fuss. These quarrels were just tem-
porary distagreements. Almost as
quickly as they would start they
would end.

The liberality and farsighted-
ness of a local man, who is well
and popularity known to the citi-
zzens of Albuquerque, has resulted
in the founding of a perpetual fund
couragement and recognition of
excellent scholarship.
Chester T. French on Thursday
notified President David S. Hill
that he would give to the State uni
versity $500 in Liberty bonds, the
interest of which will be used an
nually to buy a medal for that reg
ular student of the university who
has attained, in the opinion of the
faculty and president, the highest
scholarship and grades in his aca-
demic work.
Encourages Scholarship.
Thus says President Hill, "Mr.
French has accomplished at one
stroke three splendid achievements
in behalf of the youth of this state.
First, he has erected a permanent
means of supplying additional stim-
ulus. incentive, and pleasure in the
pursuit of knowledge and of intel
lectual power; secondly. he has set
a significant example to persons of
means, when he establishes this,
the first definite prize-foundation
for the encouragement of scholar
ship in the State university; thirdly,
(and this is my own suggestion)
he has erected an enduring and
beautiful monument to his own
good name; for thousands of stu
dents in the long years to come will
note with appreciation and benefit
this good and opportune deed"

Another subject of the inquiry,
the secretary said, will be the clash
yesterday at Mattice, Ont, between
Lieutenants Farrell and Hinton,
growing out of the publication of
letters written by the latter to his
wife and published in a New York
newspaper.
Mr.. Daniels said that the court
of inquiry had not been ordered
and he was not sure whether the
order would be sent from his Of
fee or the matter left to the COM
mandant at Rockaway. Whatever
course is pursued, the precept and
powers of the court, he said,
would be broad.
The court, in it's investigation of
the reported sale of the aeronaut's
letters, Mr.. Daniels said, probably
will inquire into rumors that let
ters were offered for sale by per-
sons in the naval service. Also re-
ports that the balloon left Rock
away with insufficient provisions
and no fire arms will be investi-
gated, he added.
Mr.. Daniels was asked If Lieu
tenant Farrell would have an OPP
poFtunity to ask the court to in
vestigate any charges he thought
might have been made by brother
officers detrimental to his charac-
ter in connection with the exploit.
IF Lieutenant Farrell thinks
that anything has been said in
furious to his reputation, he can
present it to this court" Mr.. Dan
iels replied.

plored" the clash between Lieu
