Final Naval

Formula Is Submitted‘

(C. P. Cable) (By Guardian's Special Wire)

IDINDON, Dec. 1'1. — The British formula for adjournment of the tri- power naval talks-calling for their resumption only if there is a new basis or agreement-was submitted to the Americans today and will be given the Japanese tomorrow, and the conversations are expected to be officially terminated later in the week with the deadlock unbroken.

It is understood the British for- mula for adjournment, which must be carried out carefully in order the onus for a breakdown may not rest with any party, sets no date for re- sumption of the talks, but suggests the British as hosts may recall the delegates ii they discover a new‘

I felt that I must continue playing in, secret, and I took this shadow oi her. when she told me her own ex- perience. which convinced us both that we were very like each other inside. She had discovered that work is the best fun after all, and I learned it in time, but have my lapses. and so had she."

The ideal time for delightful "lapses" is Christmas time, when in the immortal phrase of Barrie, we discover we are all "Very like each other inside." _

But there may be many who W111 not have the wherewithal to be like the rest of us. and it behooves the rest of us to become Bahia Pals just for the iun and s00" °1 it. Try-it.

Accused from Nova Sootia to ap- pear were Thomas Young, Ben- jamin Johnson, John Tanner, Thomas Crloughlin, ‘Thomas Ross- iter, Thomas Gibbons, Bediord Young, Byron Dauphinee, Colin Chisholm and Edward O. Fudge, all of Halifax, and Colin McKen- zie, Truro, N. S.

With the exception of Chisholm

Parrsbcro, N. S. and Captain Free- man Hatfield comes up for hearing on Jan. 7 in the Exchequer Court of Canada. it was learned today. Hatfield, charged with fraud aris- ing out of claims submitted before the reparations commimioner and upon which $71,000 was paid, ls battling extradition proceedings to bring him to Canada. The situa- tion hes caused doubt to arise on the question whether or not the aged sea captain will be returned to Ot- tswa in time for the civil action set ior hearing next month.

Carrying out its desire to proceed with the action in the Exchequer Court, it was learned today the Crown ls issuing subpoenas for the attendance of its Witnesses in Ot- tawa on Jan. ‘l.

The claim of the government is that Senator Logan, who was coun- sel for Hatfield, and the master of the three-master! Nova Bcotla vessel, had secured payment of the money by fraud. A defence was filed by Senator Logan denying the allega- tion and contending he had only acted in the case as counsel in good faith. Missing ior three years and only apprehended two weeks ago on a lone farm near Manchester, NJ-l, no defence has yet been flied. in court by Hatfield yet.

In addition to being co-defendant in the civil action, Hatfield will have to face a criminal charge of fraud if he is brought back to this country.

Hatfieldb claim before the repara- l tions commissioner was the “Gyp- sum Queen" was torpedoed and des- troyed of! the Irish Coast as a re- sult of enemy warfare in July, 1915. The Crown, subsequent to payment of the award, made enquiries upon which it contends ‘the schooner was lost st sea.

Bail for the Nova Scotisns was not settled upon until heated words had been exchanged be- tween Lionel Forsyth, KC, coun- sel for most of them, and Jean J. Periverne. special prosecutor for the Dominion government.

Mr. Penverries first suggestion was for bail of $25,000 in the case of Chisholm, $5.000 each for Thomas and Bedford Young and Colin McKenzie, and $10,000 each for the others. Counsel stated there was no intention of asking excessive bail but precautions had to be taken to. have the accused here when they were wanted. He referred to statements made at Halifax by W. G. Ernst, M. R, for Queens-Lunenburg, who claimed third-degree methods we're being resorted to by the R.C.M.P. "I flatly deny this," said Mr. Pen- veme.
