OYSTER PAYS $50 FINE,
DECIDES NOT TO APPEAL
Four Other Cases Covering D. C.
Business Tax Are Pending,
He Points Ont.

Fairfax Oyster. well-known business
man, who recently was convicted by
jury in Police Court on a charge of
falling to file his gross receipts return
for 1896 under the Business Privilege
Tax Act. paid fine of $50 yesterday
after announcing through his attor-
ney. Dorsey K. Offutt. that he had
decided not to appeal the case, as had
been originally contemplated.
Mr.. oysters reason for this, accord
ing to his attorney, was that there
already are four. appeals pending un-
der the same act. and there seemed
to be no justification for the added
expense of another.
Mr.. Oyster had contended he had
filed his return by mail and in an
effort to prove this displayed a busi-
ness privilege license, which, he said
was issued to him after he mailed
the return and application in the
same envelope Judge Edward M
Curran held that the mere mailing OF
return without showing it actually
had been received was not sufficient
evidence to prove the filing.

 YEAR IN NORTH
Holiday Also Marks First Step Toward Permanency
 Colonists Contracts

PALMER, May l4.-Matanuskans had a general holiday today, pre- ceded by community vaudeville show and dance last night, which marked the third anniversary of their coming to the valley to estab- fish the colony The celebration also marked the first step toward permanency when Manager Jacobs said more than half of the colonists had signed conditional sales con- tracts for farms with the Federal Government.
 There was some opposition to the signing at first because of a misunderstanding and Jacobs said that perahps a dozen in all would not sign. These will be asked to leave. The contracts give the colon ists 30 years to pay, with payments ranging from $80 to $500 per year, depending on the debt piled up the first three years.

OIL DISPUTE BRINGS BREAK,
 TWO NATIONS
Mexican Minister to.London Is Recalled as British
 Grow Stern
ECONOMIC SANCTIONS
 LIKELY TO BE USED
Schism Is Precipitated by John Bulls Demand for
 Payment of Small Bill

MEXICO CITY, May 14.-Mexico today broke off diplomatic relations with Great Britain because of that country's "unfriendly attitude" after the March 19 appropriation of $250,- 100000 worth of British oil proper ties in Mexico.
 Primo Villa Michel, Mexican Min ister in England, has been recalled, and it is expected that Owen St. Clair O'Malley, British Minister to Mexico, will be recalled immedi- ately.
 The break was precipitated by Great Britain's increasingly stern demands for the return of the con- fiscated oil lands, asserting there had been a denial of justice" and political motivation in the seizures.
 Mexico flatly refused to return the lands.
 Demand for payment of small bill, less than $100,0O0, caused the actual schism when Great Britain pressed Mexico for payment of the third of twelve annual installments on British claims for damages grow ing out of the Mexican Civil War
 The bill was due January 1, but payment was delayed. A formal Brit ish note said the Mexican attitude with relation to this bill and other government indebtedness, is gen. orally far from reassuring"
 Foreign Minister Eduardo Hay. sharply challenged the right of Great Britain to "analyze the do- mestic situation of Mexico"
 The British Foreign Office, sur prised at the action, unofficially hinted that economic sanctions are likely to be taken against Mexico. Goods worth 68,00o,000 pesos were sold by Mexican interests to Great Britain in 1886, and Mexico only ab- sorbed 23,00O,000 pesos worth of British goods in return.

 This assurance was given despite the fact that President Vargus had flatly accused the Green Shirts, the rebelling group, of having foreign help" in their short-lived uprising, but he did not name the foreign source he spoke of

VOTE EXPLAINED

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, May IA Andrew Vigen, Secretary of the AL aska Fishermen's Union, said all To- calls, excepting Portland, voted to accept the offer of working condi- tions by two Seattle and one As toria firm.
 Vigen said the Portland local voted two to one against acceptance of the proposal which included a scale of one cent lower than last year.
 Vigen said he believed the action would clear the way for converse tions with all companies in the Alaskan trade inasmuch as K. Kit chernor, Vice-President of the AL aska Packers Association, indicated willingness to go along on the scale proposed by the Northwest com panieS.
 Representatives of 10 unions, ham, ing coordinating committee for the unions interested in the Alaskan season, met today to discuss the next step in the negotiations. The tone of the meeting is optimistic.
 Ray Brown, Secretary of the Mari time Federation, said none of the unions are asking more than the 1897 scale and the men feel they can back down no further"
 The group includes men separate from the unions which have accept ed the offer.
 George Woolf, Business Agent fo1 the CIO cannery workers, said he understood the Alaska Packers had at least one vessel loaded with SUD- plies at Alameda ready for the north.

Work Under Way on Baudette
Hatchery

Hatchery
Ground has been broken and
construction work Is under way on
the new two hundred million capa-
city cooperative fish hatchery at
Baudette, according to Conserva-
ton Commissioner Herman c.
Wenzel.
The new hatchery will be operat-
ed by the State Division of Game
and Fish, and costs will be shared
with the Lake Of the Woods Com
mercial Fishermen's Association.
One half of the output of the hatch
cry will be planted in border waters
where commercial fishing is done,
and the other half will be distribut-
ed in inland lakes to improve hook
and line fishing.
Organization Of the commercial
fishermen's association took place
last winter, at the suggestion of
Commissioner Wenzel, who saw
that steps must be taken not only
to rehabilitate the commercial fish
ing industry, but to improve sport
fishing in the international border
lakes where, under the law, COM
mercial fishing is permitted. The
fisherman organized and agreed to
raise the money necessary for their
constitution. The division Of game
and fish set aside its part of the
money, and a Public Works Ad-
