The Englishman established a mark 40 minutes 1 seconds, which it not bettered before the meet closes next Tuesday night will give him the big prize. It was the first clear day ¢ the meet and the wind blew from 12 sunset. The stands were packed with people and the enthusiasm was un- hounded until the twelve events were wpleted. Many rotables were pres- ineluding the Russian ambassa- Baron Rosen, and party, General Nelson A. Miles (retired) and Presi- A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard ersity Dizzy Spirals for Height.

Accuracy and Speed Tests. White at the same time made trial in the accuracy test and in the landing the first mark in that event, 6 inches from a given point, in his Farman biplane. A little later he brought out his Blegiot mono- plane and whipped around the cours in a speed event, doing th> trick in & minutes 15 3-5 seconds, which was 13-5 14 mil from the northwest | most_of the day, but it grad- softened to eight miles toward the event made by him Monday. Revenue Cutters in Stern Chase. Immediately afterwards he started in his Bleriot for Boston light. At an elevation of approximately 1,000 feet he headed his great bird machine to- ward the sea. Immediately the revenue cutters Stringham, McDonough and Bailey took a chase that rapidly prov- ed too unequal, the monoplane out- distancing the others. White turned the light in about 10 minutes, and flew back over the field 1500 feet high, cir- cled the pylon, and was off again on the second lap before the thousands below had hardly time to catch their breath. The second round of the coures was done at the same marvel- lous precision and wonderful speed, and at 517 p. m. White was back on the field. While the crowds were still cheering the popular English. flier, Walter Brookins was sweeping sky- ward in geaceful spirals for altitude.

The Englishman was the first to start downward, and he shot out of the deep gray clouds behind the grandstand in a wonderful glide to the ground. Johnstone had completed his altitude flight just previous to the ascent of Brookins and White, having made at the same time the best mark in dura- tion for the meet, 1 hour 47 minutes 24 2-5 seconds. Curtiss Best for Accuracy. Glenn H. Curtiss put up a new mark curacy event, near the close of the day, making a landing within 6: feet and 10 inches of the mark. better- ing White's mark by almost 100 feet. Curtiss made another try at the get- away, but afiled. Charles F. Willard made only one round of the course in an attempt at speed, which failed to secure him a mark.

Milwaukee, Wis., Sapt. 7.—The Ger- mans had their day with ex-President Roosevelt today. Beginning the day with a tiff with Milwaukee's socialist mayor, Emil Seidel, who is & German, Colonel Roosevelt put in succeeding hours of his visit hore by roaming about the city at will, making his own programme as he went. He inspected the city’s trade schools, attended two luncheons and 4 dinner, took an auto- mobile ride to Whitefish bay and ad- dressed two huge audiences tonight. Late in the evening he went to his car, to start early in the morning for Free. port, I1l., where he is to speak tomor- row. and for Chicago, which he is to visit later in the day. Guest of Milwaukee Press Club. The Milwaukee Press club had the ‘colonel in hand. The club got out the first and last edition of the “Big Stick,” a newspaper devoted exclusivaly to Colonel. Roosevelt's affairs, in honor of the day. In it there was a letter by Mayor Seidel explaining why he would not serve as a member of the commit- tee to welcome Colonel Roosevelt. He considered that come things which the colonel had written about _socialism were unkind, and said that the colonal could not expect him to welcome him. Roosevelt’s Reply to Mayor Seidel. Before he had his breakfast Colonei Roosevait issued a reply, telling people that he would prefer to have them read what he had written rather than what the mayor said about what he had written. ‘The colonel said the fact that the city administration was not represent- 2d in the ceremonies did not trouble him. “Hoch Soll er Leben.” Colonel Roosevelt said he wanted to £0 to the Deutschér club. As he mounted the steps of the clubhouse the Germans sang “Hoch Soll er Leben.” “I wish T could pose as your invited guest.” said the colonel. “T found out last night that no arrangements had ‘been made for a visit to the Deutscher club, and I said I was zoing there, anyway. When I was in Berlin I told the emperor that T should visit this club again in the near future and that 1 would bring his regards.” Welcomed by Old Friend. Emil Von Schleintz, an old friend of Colonel Roosevelt, said: “The Germahs ate glad to have vou back here again. This Is a German city,as you know.

SETTLING FISHERY QUESTIONS Englishmen Pleased at What They Gain —Washington Authorities See Chance for Further Contention. . ’ The Hague, Sept. 7.—In the gloomy little chamber of the permanent arbi- tration court, beneath the large paint- ing of Emperor Nicholas of Russia and portraits of the late John Hay, Amer- ican secretary of stats, and others whose names are associated with the cause of the world’s peace, five judges who since the first of June have’ con- sidered the Newfoundland fisheries dis- pute between the United States and Great Britain, pronounced this after- noon the tribunal’s historic verdict. The .decision rendered by the arbi- tration court gave neither a “clear-cut award, but of the seven question decid- ed the tribunal supports the United States In five instances and Great Britain in the other two. Summarizing the seven questions submitted for arbitration, points No. 2, 3, 4, 8 and 7 were decided in favor of the United States. Great Britain points No. 1 and 5. i Elihu Root’s Great Speech, The court will be memorable becaus: it determines finally the disputes aris- ing from the British-American ‘treaty of 1818, which have caused continuous diplomatic controversies and, inciden- tally, from the six days' speech of Sen- ator Elihu Root, chief of the American counsel, which all lawyers here regard as the greatest presentation of a case ever made at The Hague. Mr. Root, receiving a senator’s sal- ary, was barred from other compensa- tion, and for the other twenty-two par- sons mustered as counsel for Great Britain- and the seven Americans he alone contributed gratuitously an ef- fort which if made for a private client would have commanded an enormous fee. What Pleases Englishmen. Englishmen are pleased with the award because ‘the three mile limit is based on headlands instaad of follow- ing the sinuosities of the coast and by saving sovereignty through having con- firmed Great Britain's right to make reasonable fisheries regulations with- out tlie concurremce of the United States. Not Unanimous on Coast Question. The decisions reached by the arbi- trators were unanimous with the ex- ception of the coast question, on which point Luis Drago, the member from Argentina, filed a dissenting opinion largely supporting the contentions of the United- States. Important Point for English: Point one, upon which Great Britain also was _ sustained, embodied the question of whether any local laws adopted by a British colony must be submitted for approval to any foreign power having a treaty on a similar subject with the jmperial government. This point was considered .of great importance also to the British and their triumph will be a matter of much eatisfaction to them. On the other hand., the Americans win important concessions. By the de- cision they will be enablad to employ foreigners in_their fishing and are not liable to lighthouse dues. They are not compelled to enter their vessels at the customs houses. wed in Washington. ‘Washington, Sept. 7.—A substantial victory for Great Britain on perhape the two most important points, a con- solatory triumph for the United States in the other five points, with a prospect of another arbitration later at the in- stance of the United Statas govern- ment, is the way the decision of The Hague tribunal in the Newfoundland fisheriex case is viewed here. The decision eliminates the right of the United States to share in making and enforcing ‘“reasonable regulations” governing the fisheries in the disputed territory, and it is that qualification “reasonable” that may permit this gov- ernment some time to reopen the ques- tion of joint action as to the regula- tions. The state department has not Deen officially advised of the decision, and therefore declines {0 comment up- on it.
