BRITISH PRESS SOUNDS
WARNING TO RUSSIA

LONDON, July 20.-Without ex-
ception, the British newspapers look
upon the seizure Of British ships by
the Russian navy as a grave offense.
The Post says:
Great Britain cannot tolerate the
seizure of the steamship Malacca, ex-
cept by the abandonment of her self
respect as great power"
Admiral Fremantle is quoted by
the Chronicle as follows;
There is no doubt that the Rus
sian volunteer fleet steamers are act
ing practically, having passed the
Dardanelles under a commercial flag.
THE situation demands something
more than mere protest from the
government. The crisis, no doubt,
is grave, but the safest course would
be at once to inform the Russian gov
ernment that our cruisers have or
ders to prevent our merchantmen be.

LONDON, July 20.-That England
will make imperative demands in re-

is today considered beyond any dis
cussion. The orders issued to the

guarded, but the newspapers argue
that the Malacca will never reach a
Russian port. The German attitude Is
puzzle to the British statesmen.
The stock market is lowering about

Wright and asked him how it hap
pened. The mayor was surprised, so
he said, but referred The Times TO
the building inspector. The latter
stated that he had given no authority
to Mr.. Pearsall to violate the build
ing law, but finally declared that the
mayor, chief of police and the city at
torney had taken the matter out of
his hands and were themselves hand
ling the case for Pearsall.
Then The Times asked Pearsall IL
he would kindly show his building
permit. The influential man replied
by asking, How does that interest
your
"Well, it doesn't matter much, only
The Times would like to know about
the permit for the information of the
public"
"Oh, see. Yes, have a permit. :"
who did you get it from?"
who would anyone get building
permit from?"
There is no record in the building
inspectors Office to show that a per-
NIT has been issued"
"Is that SO? Well, I'm pretty busy
now and cant talk any longer"
With that Pearsall closed the CON
versation.
Sherman had been thinking over
the affair, and arrived at the conclu-
sion that as long as he held Office he
would enforce the building ordin-
ance. Notice was served on Pearsall
this afternoon and the construction
work was stopped. Pearsall consult
ed his attorney and was told that he
had better give up, The attorneys
advice was taken, and while the gam
bling room will be built, IL will be
of brick, in compliance with the Or
dinance.
The ordinance which Mr.. Pearsail
attempted to violate is in substance
as follows:
mo wooden building within the
fire limits shall be altered withouy
the written consent of the building
inspector T.
mo building, except of stone,
brick, terra Gotta or iron construc-
ton shall be erected within the i1re
limits" Compiled ordinances, pages
23O-231.
The penalty for violation of the
ordinance is a fine of from $ 5 to $50
for each day the violation Is main
tanned.
Mayor Wright claimed that he
knew nothing about the affair, and
Chief Malony said he had not been
consulted.
