HEARINGS ENDED
IN CAYUGA CASE
Decision in Favor of United

Indian Dispute.

Proceedings of unusual interest be-
cause of their possible ramlncatlohS
have just been brought To close
before the American British arbitral
tribunal. Observers expect decision
in favor of the United States In the
so-Called Cayuga case. The mem

for the United States; Sir Charles
l'itzgerald. former chief justice of
Canada. for Great Britain. and Alfred
.NernicZ of Belgium, as the neutral
member and president.
With the disposition of this case.
all issues between the United states
and Great Britain, on which there
has been an agreement to carry out

and il may be that if future contro-
rerSieS of a like nature arise they,
instead of being submitted to an ar
bitration tribunal. will so before the
World Court. If the United States be-
comes member.
New York State officials have been
deeply Interested in the Cayuga case
because they have inclined to the view
that the [ nited States Government
never should have consented to arbl
trate It, holding that under article
OF the treaty OF 1853 there had been
fun and final settlement Of claims out
standing up 10 that time.
Arguments in the case extended
over three weeks. The case grew out
of controversies between the State Of
New York and Indians of Cayuga
descent living in Canada, who have
insisted compensation was due them
from New York State for lands sold to
the State under a treaty between the
Cayuga Nation and the State in 1885.
Presumably, Ii the United States loses
the case the Federal Government will
pay the claim, but New York is arous
ed because Of the possibility that the
State may be asked TO carry the bur
den
The State for 135 years has been
making annual payments to the
Cayuga remaining residents of the
State. and its executives and Iegisla
tors do not want to assess the extra
taxation.

BURNED SCHOONER LAST

One of Six-Masters Priced by New
England Shipping Before
Steamers Developed.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, December 2S.-The schoon-
er Edward J. Lawrence. destroyed by
fire Yesterday at Portland, Me-, was
the last of the fleet of siX-masters once
the pride of New England, shipping
before the development of modern
steam and oil burning vessels.
The Lawrence became the last sur
vivor of the fleet when the Wyoming
foundered off the Cape Cod banks dur
ing a storm three years ago. The
other six-masters from New England,
the Addie NJ. Lawrence and the Ed
ward B. Winslow, were lost on the
rocks of the French coast while carry
ing supplies for the allies from Boston
to st. Nazaire during the summer of
1917
Until about 10 years ago the six
masters were used almost exclusively
for transporting coal from Chesapeake
Bay and New England ports. In re-
cent years the schooners were unable
to earn the cost of their operation in
competition with steam vessels. The
Edward J. Lawrence, in consequence,
had been idle in Portland harbor for
three years.

The preponderance of evidence sug-
gests the professor said, that periods
in which the maximum number OF san
spots appear are constant. Rainfall
periods. he added, certainly do exist. y
Recent work at the Mount Wilson
Observatory, Prof. Alter stated, has
shown that the mean period between
the maximum and minimum appear
ance OF sun spots is 22.25 years. "A
hypothesis, which has been discussed
somewhat of recent years" said Prof.
