"I come from Prince Edward Is- land, the smallest of the three, snd the reason it was made so small is because it was made so good." Like the farmers the fishermen continued.

By Guardian's Special Wire) MANCHESTER, . 1-1., Feb. 4- Osptain Freeman Hatfield, '11, skip- per of the Gypsum Queen, which now lies on the ocean floor some- where ofl the Irish coast, today be- gan a battle to prevent his extra- “ dition to Canada to stand trial for an alleged $71,000 war-time fraud. The first day of the hearing, which is being held before U. B. coimnission Charles D. Barnard, was devoted for the most part to the reading of depositions. One witness did reach the stand before the proceedings were adjourned for the day but his testimony was in- terrupted by disputes of opposing counsel. llu ms the Gypsum Queen was abandoned or! the Irish coast and Captain Hatfield contended she had been struck by a torpedo while run- ning out a storm. In i919, after a number of hearings, the Canadian govern-inept awarded Hatfield $71.- 270 in reparations for his vessel, its cargo and the skippers personal effects. In 1932, Alexander Allison, negro second mate of the vessel, declared an cffadavlt he made at a Boston hotel was false. He claimed the captain and the crew were intox- icated as the vessel foundered 2M miles off the Irish coast because of of of s storm. A Royal Canadian Mounted Pol- iceman was delegated to "get his Iflllll,” and Hatfield subsequently arrested last December in nearby Candis, living the life of a gentleman farmer. Lodged in Hills- boro county jail he has since stout- ly maintained his innocence. RELATIVE MER TS 0E FISH ‘IIEBATEB (U.
