■..••--. or fitlicr of them
juf-tified? „
It is contended on th« part of Great
Britain that the .-nereis*' of the liberty to
;ake fish, referred to in tbe treaty <of
V-1., which the Inha! itants of the I nit^ti
Ftatcs lisve forever in common with tbe
subjects of his Britannic majesty, - sub
ject to the consent of JCewXounalana m the
form of m.'.inirSj.al laws, ordinances or
rules, as. for example, tbe regulation in
respect of (i) the boors, days or seasons
when fish nay be taken on the treaty

plements to t« used in th«» taking of tisn
or in the carrying on of fishing operations
or> s-uch eoast^ (3) Any matters of similar
iharacter relating to flshing. :-uch regula
tions being reasonable.
II fa contended on the part of the 1. nitc/t
States that the ex rrfse of such liberty is
not subject to Hm'ta'ions or restraint by
Great Britain. Canada or JCewfOUndland
unl»>?? they are appropriate and necessary
for the protection and preservation of the
corr.rnon rights in such ?n<?rie«. and unless
they be reasonable in themselves and fair
as between local fishermen and fishermen
coming from the United States, and not so

Tn«»r over the latter, ai ; unless their sp

England Supreme on Coast.
Answer'— Th« right of Great Britain to
make regulations without the consent of

liberty to take fish, referred to in Article 1
of the treaty of October 20. ISIS, in the form
«f municipal laws, ordinances or rules of
Great Britain, '""an; la or Newfoundland

In violation of the said treaty regulations
which are. (1) appropriate or necessary or i
the protection ar.d preservation of such j

L'tica, X. V.. Sept. 9.— EHhu Root, chief

I cisir-n. Senator Root said:
According :o the Vext of t!;c award of

I ti<:a;!y t::r- relief f« - r which she contends.
Question Xo. 3 related to tin right of
j Newfoundland :») rt-siict the American right
! of Qshing t.y iur laws, without thf content
jof the I'nited StHt^^. The derision ii')i<!.^
i that Xewfoundland is entitled to pass such
' laws, hiit thft laws nui^i b- reasonable,
I equitable and fair ;■- between ihe local
I and American fishermen; and that it is not
for either of : ... parties to t lie treaty to

1 if that is contested it nmsi ne decided by

j lino effect.
! To giw . ffect to tiif decision the tribunal
j hn« formulated a series of provisions under
s which .'■ll laws affecting American fisOer-
I men arc to r.<- published for two months
: before they ko Into operation, arid then, i!
objected to by tit- United States, arc to be
• ref«red to and parsed upon by a mixed
I commisiiion before they become operative.
Th^ result of tMs decision will li that the

ject^d to tlio uncontrolled exercise of power
by their competitors a i he Newfoundland

SMASH AT AERO MEET
Grahame-White's Machine Dam
aged, but Aviator Unhurt.
ENGLISHMAN STILL LEADS
He Makes Getaway in 26 Feet
-11 Inches — Brookins Wins
Altitude Honors at Atlantic.
I Boston, Sept The first accident among
I the professional aviators in competition at
the Harvard-Boston aero meet occurred at
i the close of the sixth day of the meet to
! night when Claude Grahame-White. of
! England, ended an hour's duration fli.eht by
landing sidewlse In his Farman biplane,
I .-rumpling up the right side of his lower
I plane and damaging the chassis. Grabamo
i White was unhurt. The Englishm|n had
taken out a permit for an altitude ,;i:-.'. In
I which there had been no entries during the
day. When only five minutes remained in
which to make the altitude night and se
cure the three points which first place
would give him, his manager, Mr. McDon
ald, waved a red flag as a signal for hirh
to stop his duration flight and lai 1. •
The wind was blowing fifteen miles an
hour, and as Grahame-White came down
with one long slide from an elevation of
I six hundred feet he approached the start
ing line diagonally. An unusually strong
puff of wind caught his biplane, swinging '
it around so that the machine landed on
one wheel and on- v.in.r. There was a '
1 cracking of bars and skids and the snap- j
ping of wires as the under plane collapsed, j
White's Bleriot, which was standing close j
by ready for the altitude test, was trim- j
died back to the hangar?, while Walter
Brookins, of the Wright camp, Jumped out
with his biplane and shot up two hundred
feet in th » air and back again in the re
maining three minutes of open flying, there
by securing for himself the coveted points.
It was Governor's Day at the meet, and
: Governor Ebon S. Draper, with several of
his staff, in full uniform, were on the field.
The wind blew over twenty miles an hour
for a major part of the day, which pre
vented any attempts at soaring until well i
in the afternoon. Grahame-"Whlte, as usual, ;
was first on the field, and put the high
winds to advantage in tryiiiK for a. new
mark at the getaway, at which he holds
the world's record at 20 feet 9 inches. Ilia
first effort was 52 feet C Inches, which bet- I
tered anything yet done at the Harvard j
meet. This was followed by another mark
of 39 feet 10 inches, but Graihame-White
was not satisfied until be had secured the
exceedingly low score of 20 feet 11 inches. !
Then he went out tor accuracy in landing
fin-! succeeded the first time in stopping :
68 feet 6 inches from a given point. His j
next effort brought out a round of applause .
when it was found that lie was only .';'; ■
fret from the mark.
The greater part of the rest of the after
noon was givm up to distance and duration
flights by Ralph Johnstons in a Wright bl- j
plane and Grahame-Whlte in his Farman,
during which they circled the course lap |
after lap in monotonous succession. John- !
stone was eventually compelled to come j
down on account of trouble with his motor. j
When Grahame-White came down, with his j
resulting smash, it was found that he had
exceeded Johnstone'a duration mark by
nearly four minutes. Grahame-White had
also taken the honors in distance, covering j
:;;: miles 1,420 feet, while Johnstone had '
gone 28 miles •'>,'•■■' feet. i
The standing of the aviators in the four
events in which points arc given was as ,
follows to-night:
Claude Grahame-White, 30%: Ralph John
stone, 17; Walter Brookins, 10; Charles F. J
Willard, 7: Glenn H. Curtiss, 6U.

The Curtain-Tester
How Every Lace Curtain Coming from
France to This Store Is Inspected at
the Wanamaker Bureau in Paris
Reprinted from the Ilveniug Post of Last Night.
The Wanamaker Paris Bureau is a quiet old house hidden
in a court yard, in the midst of the busy wholesale section o: the
city of Eternal Youth.
l\ was once the stately mansion of an old French family: and
through its high ceilinged salons have tripped the dainty dames of
the old Regime.
Now this old mansion serves as the clearing-house to America
for thousands oi lovely things from France each year, and among
the most important of its treasures are the thousands ot French
hand-made lace curtains which come for the semi-annual sales at
the Wanamaker Store.
Months and months before these sales the collectors have been
searching the little French manuracturing towns to find the finest
the most perfect, and the most beautiful products of the
maker's art. Their orders are placed, the curtains made —
And Then Comes the Curtain Tester's Work
She is a young French girl whose family have all he?~
makers.
She knows the art of the lace-maker perfectly. Wbc
throws the curtain over the frame wind] hangs in front i
windows looking out on the old garden, ita every
under fire.
Each stitch, each flower, each bordure is outlined ag
light, and is inspected with a minuteness which only the pvactadrf
eye can accomplish.
Measures are taken to the fraction of a centimetre, and the
flawed curtain, the imperfect measurement, the pa ; ; thai A
match, is rejected without a moment's hesitation.
This Sets a Standard of Scrupulous Exactness in
Lace-Curtain Buying and Selling
which we believe to be unequalled by any other importer now
bringing lace curtains from France to America.
This perfection of quality is only equalled by the beaoftf .i™
variety of the designs which are offered.
We invite your inspection of this \Vonderful display of lace
curtains on the Third Gallery. New Building.

portance and position of thetr subjects in
American history, and ufins? the an

The faces would ho placed In th*r c»nt|a

to determine at ■ glance the denomination.
For example, the dollar note, whieb la la

portrait of "Washington, as the emancipator
of the country and the founder of il3 gov

famous American, and ?o on for all the

Such reclassificatlon v believed to be the
more advisable as it will enable eaph'er*

th* more readily to detect counterfeits; ex
