.nATA CASE Is Up
Involves Claim Of $4,000
Against United States.
DURING GILLIAN TROUBLE
Cargo of Arms and Ammunition
Was Captured.
DURING GILLIAN TROUBLE

Washington, May f.-The celebrated
Itata case. involving a claim of 1900
against the government of the United
States. is about to be determined by the
Chilean claims commission The com
mission has cleared its entire docket Of
cases with the exception OF this one.
which, by reason OF its Importance. was
left until the last for special considera-
ton. An adjournment has been taken to
permit the exchange CT briefs and the
commission viii reconvene on June s to
consider this case, the decision OF which
viii be rendered before the final dissolU-
ton of the body on June IA.
The sailing Of the steamer Itata from
California with cargo of arms and am
munition for Chile and her subsequent
surrender to the United States cruiser
Charleston, constituted one Of the most
stirring events of the Chilean trouble OF
1921. As set forth in the official papers
submitted to the commission, the Itata
was chartered by the provisional govern
ment of Chile TO transport all arms for
the land.
The Itata took her cargo of arms 10
Jcuique. After she started American
SIPS were sent IN chase Of her and q
famous race down through the Pacific
occurred between the pursued and her
pursuers. At the same time Admiral Nc
Cam. commander-in-chief of the United
States naval forces in Chile notified the
Chilean government that the Itata in
procuring her cargo Of arms within the
of violation OF our neutrality laws. The
document adds: Upon these representa-
tons Of Admiral Mccain and because Of
the demand of the government of the
United States, accompanied as they were
by the presence Of a large naval force,
the Itata wes surrendered. under duress.
to the representative Of the United
States"
The Itata was then brought back by
the Charleston under command Of Cap
tain Remey and was given over to the
United States marshal at San Diego. She
was ibelled as being in the possession Of
the congressional party of Chile, then at
tempting a revolution against the repub-
lie, and of carrying arms TO this rebelli-
Gus faction. The case failed, however,
and the Itata returned to Chile. The
claim now put IN covers the time Of the
vessel. $50, 900; coal, Sc. 900; repairs to
vessel, $25, 900; maritime risks. $1,000; ca
Diagrams. etc, 5000; miscellaneous loss,
5000 The interest since 1891 amounts to
about $4,000 more. making the total
claim about $4,000. Aside from the claim
itself, the case presents many interesting
legal questions as to the right Of a neut-
raj government to prevent the shipment
Of arms intended for beligerents

PATTERSON IS SHORT.
Charges of Fraud Will be Instituted
Against City Treasurer.


Clyde, Kan, May lit is intimated
by those who are closely in touch with
the city administration, that within a
few days charges of forgery will be in
stituted against the late city treasurer,
Arch J. Patterson, who was found to be
between $1,000 and 5000 short in his &C
counts.
This is a case that has attracted con-
siderable attention from the fact that the
greater part Of this money was collected
from the joints and Patterson and his at
torneys set up the argument that it was
therefore 1Iegal, and he could not be held
for it.
The case was to have been called dur
ing the later part OF the recent term Of
court, but Paterson showed a disposition
to settle, and. it is said, made several
promises to that effect. The attorneys
for the city concluded that an amicable
adjustment would be preferable, and ad-
vised Acting Judge Glass to discharge
the jury, which was done. After the
adjournment of court Patterson seemed
to be in no haste to make good the short
age, but offered various compromises
These were all promptly refused by the
city. IT became evident to some that
Patterson was not honest in his promises,
but was only playing for time. and the
city determined not to extend further
clemency.
He is bound over under 100 bond till
the September term of court. Curiously
enough the city officers neglected TO have
Patterson renew his bond when he was
appointed TO his second term, and in
event Of prosecution on the charge of for
gerry It IS not likely the city will be re-
imbursed for the shortage which occurred
during this second term. Bis father was
his bondsman under his first term and
is held.
His books were badly kept and he has
not been induced TO give any aid to those
who examined them. He had been max
ing returns that certain outstanding
bonds were paid, and it was only when
@ was decided to refund other bonds
that the real condition OF the city ex-
chequer became known.
It is claimed by some OF those who bid
further heniency for him, that inability
TO raise the necessary money Is the
motive OF his present actions.
