SHABBILY TREATED.
How the Detroit's officers Have Been
Received in Spain.

MADRID, November 21.-It seems that
the officers of the Detroit have met with
rather shabby treatment at the hands of
the Spanish government, in spite of Mad
rid government assertions to the contrary.
Comma nder VIM. H. Brown son of the De-
troit waited at CadiZ for three days while
the government decided upon the convey
ance of the Columbus relics to Madrid. At
the end of that time Commander Brown
son had not received the slightest reply
to his communication on the subject, and
not the slightest notice had been taken
Of it.
The commander thercupCn decided to de-
liver the relics himself and cabled to
Washington for instructions. The military
authorities of the port permitted the land
ing of the cases and their escort of nine
Officers and twelve marines. To this force
the Spanish authorities added body OF
native troops; but the commander of the
Detroit and the secretary of the United
States legation had to buy railroad tickets
for the whole escort, which amounted to
an expenditure of 5000.
The Spanish government Is being bitterly
criticised for its failure to take proper
action in this matter. Count Casa Valen-

RODDA'S LEGAL ENHANCEMENT.
Another Attempt to Arrest and Con.
fine the Young Englishman.


fine the Young Englishman.
The now famous legal ENHANCEMENT
which has involved the young Englishman
Walter A. Rodda got into another knot
this morning, and there is no telling now
when or just how the skein will be unrav-
eled. Rodda is the man, 1t will be renlem-
bered, who was arrested on the charge of
grand larceny, which charge was after
ward nolle pressed on the same day-Octo-
Der 25-that he was convicted in the Police
Court Of petty larceny and sentenced to
sixty days in Jail. On the following day
Warden Leonard released Rodda, although
he then had the commitment papers from
the Police Court In his possession at the
jail. A fortnight later Rodda was rear
rested by Jail guard, without warrant
of any sort.
When the case came before Judge Cox
he discharged Rodda on a writ of habeas
corpus, asked for by Mr.. Carlisle. holding
that the Jail officials had overstepped their
authority in the matter. AS stated In The
Star, District Attorney Birney yesterday
noted an appeal on behalf Of Warden
Leonard from Judge Cox's decision. Rodda
was served with citation in the case later
in the day.
AS the man had no idea Of the character
of this legal paper, he was In Mr. Carlisle's
office this morning in consultation with the
lawyer, when a bench warrant was served
upon him. This warrant was issued at the
request Of Mr.. Birney, who wanted Rodda
committed to Jail pending the hearing Of
the case before the Court Of Appeals. Mr..
Carlisle was surprised at this turn Of af-
fairs. to put 1t mildly. and he at once went
with the prisoner before Judge Cox and
asked for his release on his personal recog-
nizance. After little discussion 1t was
decided to let the man out under 500 bonds.
and Mr.. Carlisle thereupon qualified as his
surety In that amount
What Mr.. Carlisle Said.
That is the way the case stands now. but
there is no telling what further develop
ments may appear, as the British embassy
seems to be in the background as a potent
factor, although 1t Is denied that there are
as yet any international complications.
Mr.. Calderon Carlisle, the attorney for the
embassy, has taken an unusual interest in
the case, as Rodda Is friendless and penni-
less, and would otherwise be quite help
less. In conversation with a Star reporter
this morning Mr. Carlisle said that he re-
garded the case az one of considerable
magnitude, as involving the rights and lib
erty of every citizen of Washington, II q
Jail official has the power to take man
into custody at any time without a shadow
ton of fighting the case through to the
bitter end. According to Rodda's state
ment an effort was also made by one OF
the warden's deputies to induce him to go
back to the Jail of his own free will, pre-
sumably for the purpose of putting him
behind the bars, so that altogether the
case Is a very pretty one as 1t is, and
promises still more interesting develop
ments.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.
Report That an Agreement Between
Them Has Been Reached.

LONDON, November 21.-The st. James
Gazette this afternoon gives prominence to
an article in which 1t is said that it is
rumored that reapproachment has taken
place between Russia and England, and
that IT is possible that the Straits of the
(Which have been closed to Rus
sian and other men-of-war since the sign
ing of the treaty of 1871, which was con-
frmed by the Paris treaty of 1850 will
shortly be opened to the men-of-war of all
nations. According to the ST. James Ga
zette this matter is the talk in the diplo-
matte circles of several of the capitals of
Europe and 1T is said that, in fact, very
little else is talked about now.

IN the Prussian Court wretched
Paul Pry has been writing all sorts
of wickedness about the court goings
on, and as the scandel-monger socie.
ty paper is unknown in Berlin, the
aristocratic tattler has not only to
write his scandals but to circulate
them himself. There is some Ques-
tion as to his identity, although one
official is in jail for the offense. We
can give no opinion as to the truth
of the allegations as to various mari.
tai sins alleged against the high-born
danes and reaching up even to the
Emperor himself; but we think it is
a sign that German imperial institu,
tions are not as sound as they appear
when such stories get abroad. En-.
perors may be law unto themselves,
but in the nineteenth century they
must seem to respect the best part OF
the tenth commandments. 1t is the
Kaiser and not Kotze that will be
on trial presently.

II may be interesting to our read
ers to know how we stand in com,
mercial sense with our neighbors on
the north. Statistics illustrating
the growth of trade relations be-
tween the United States and Canada
have been transmitted to the Senate
by the Secretary Of the Treasury.
The statistics, which have been pre-.
pared by both the United States and
Canadian authorities, cover period
Of seventy-three years, from 1921 tc
1898, inclusive. The figures given
show, among other things, that the
exports Of merchandise in 1921 from
the United States to Canada amount
ed to $2,0l4, 1920. and the imports
from that country to the United
States to S414,5 500. In 1898, on the
other hand, the exports amounted to
$24, 1873, 1872 and the imports to S22,
l0S, GIG. The total of exports for
the seventy-three years covered by
the statistics was 81, 46S, l59, 1874. and
the total Of the imports amounted to
81, 300, 957, 1913.

A LOUDLY-TRUMPETED enterprise
was that of several capitalists who
engaged in the manufacture of bana-
Ma -four in Central America several
years ago, and who, according tC
some of the trade papers, were going
to establish an industry Of great mag,
nitude. OF late, however, nothing
has been heard about the results OF
the experiment, but it now appears
that similar experiment is being
tried in Dutch Guiana, and the Brit.
ish Consul at Paramaiho says that
machinery to the value of $4,000
has been imported and set at work
grinding the bananas, and that d
portion of the product of the mill
has been sent to Holland. The com,
pany anticipate that considerable
demand for the meal for bread-mak,
ing purposes will spring up. An an.
alysis of the meal follows: Moisture,
ll.44; ether extract, 0,39; alcohol
extract $50 per cent. 5.94 (of which,
reducing sugar lis per cent, sucrose
0.0S): cold water extract. 5. 33; tihel
and other understandable carbohy.
drates, SIS; total, 10000. From
this it will be seen that the food val.
ne of the meal is minute, and should
be compared rather to the potato
than to the cereal. In the face of
this analysis it is difficult to believe,
says the consul, that the banana meal
enterprise will prove remunerative.

Press the Button and the Dial Is Illumi-
mated.
A clock manufacturer OF CnemnltZ,
Saxony, has patented a useful appa-
ratus-an electrical alarm clock, with
incandescent light illumination, as
shown in accompanying illustration.
The apparatus is propelled by bal
ance, and, therefore, goes in any po-
sition. Immediately above the dial
will be seen small incandescent
light. the reflector Of which is set in
such position that the brightness or
the light is thrown upon the DIAL
Under the dial is a brake lever, with
which the alarming apparatus IS
either placed into or out of gear by
moving the lever either toward the
screw on the right or left. At the
bottom of the box hangs small wire
with button. The current is closed
by pressure upon the latter. The
electric light is lsimilar to all appa-
ratus of this kind, intended only for
momentary illumination, which, by
the way, is amply sut1icient-the
light being wanted only for brief
time to see the hour Of night
At an optional height above the
clock is the alarm apparatus, consist
ing of an electrical bell. Its brought
