COURT HAS QUESTION OF
CONTRABAND OF WAR
Pig Lead Case in Supreme Court,
Northern Pacific Being Party to Suit

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 27.-The
United States supreme court has been
asked to decide whether pig lead is
contraband of war and the question
was argued today. The controversy
arose in 1894, during the war between
Japan and China, and the parties to 1t
are the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany and the American Trading COM
pany. The case grows out of a delay
of six weeks in the shipment Of a con-
Signment of 200 tons of lead which the
trading company had sold to the Japa-
nese government, subject to the condi-
tion that there should be no excessive
delay in its delivery. 1t was carried
from New York to Tacoma, Wash, by
the Northern Pacific, but after it had
been loaded onto connecting steamer
United States deputy revenue collec-
tor refused to issue clearance papers
to the vessel with the lead on board on
the ground that it was contraband
Delay ensued, and when the lead
reached it's destination the war had
closed. Consequently Japan refused to
receive the consignment at the agreed
price and the trading company was
compelled to accept 81, 600 instead of
$4,000, the price first agreed on. The
company asks an award of damages
equal to the difference, and the case
turns on the question as to whether
the shipment was properly pro-
hibited, and if so. whether the
railroad company was responsible
for the prohibition. The trial court de-
cided the case in favor of the railroad
company, but that decision was re-
versed by the circuit court of appeals
for the ninth circuit.
The case was presented by c.. w.
Bum, Of st. Paul, general counsel for
the Northern Pacific, and F. B. Jen-
nings. of New York, for the trading
company.

Lackawanna Officer Shows Gain to Be
Less Than 10 Cents

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The hearing
before the interstate commerce COM
mission on complaints against the coal
carrying railroads was resumed today.
1t was informally announced during
the hearing that the commission would
make trip through the coal regions.
The present plan is to start from New
York next Monday.
Auditor Baker, of the Lackawanna,
who at a previous hearing submitted a
statement of the cost of coal produc-
tion that was unsatisfactory to Mr..
Shearn, presented an amended state
ment and was cross examined regard
ing it. The amended statement showed
that the company had realized a profit
of 9A cents on the sale of the small
size coal. An adjournment was taken
until Nov. 20 at the office Of the COM
mission in Washington.
The respondents will then have one
more opportunity to put in evidence.
Chairman Knapp announced that ar
gument in the case must be begun not
later than ten days after the final hear
ing.

pleasant times as she bore them both
through the unpleasant ones. Well, the
end came. She was worn out with do
ing his share and hers, and she had to
go away to a sanitarium, where they
did everything for her whether she
wanted it or no. The time her great,
noble, selfish heart broke was on the
day of her arrival there. She sank
down in a chair weary from her jour
ney and saw some other women who
had also arrived being tenderly cared
for by their husbands; hers was away
business or something; anyway, she
had to do this as everything else in life
alone. A great, realizing pain came
over her, and she covered her face with
her hands and wept bitterly as little
child does. That was the only time she
cried for herself, and she only wept
once more, and that was toward the
end. The tears stood in her eyes, and
she murmured, thinking of the absent
one, What will he do without me?"
