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‘ games, and how it was to be done I saw riot (this agony still returns to me in dreams, when I catch‘ myself playing marbles, and look on with cold displeasure.)

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.
