rendered himself to the Birmingham
police today, accusing himself of
stealing papers from a person at

ported to be missing. Schneider
says he and two other Foreigners
waited at the pier and when the pas
Senger left the landing stage they
seized him. threw him to the ground

Department today received the fol-
lowing cablegram:
"Chefoo, August 19.-This morning
seven Japanese destroyers entered the
harbor of Chefoo. Opposite the en-
trance they met an unknown steam
er entering and took possession of
her. There are two cruisers outside"
The dispatch is so Worded as to
leave in doubt one of the most inn
portant points connected with the
seizure. namely the exact spot at
which it took place and whether,
without or within the three mile
limit The impression here is that
the seizure took place within the
Chinese territorial waters. The in
ciGent is regarded as an evidence of
the determination of the Japanese
naval officers to disregard niceties in
dealing with this question of Chinese
neutrality. Coupled with the report
ed refusal of the Japanese govern
irent to release the Ryeshitelni. also
seized in Chefoo harbor it is thought
that the seizure indicates that while
the japanese may not assert the right
of seizure i'm the international port
of Shanghai. they will not hesitate to
attack ard cut out any Russian ships
that lie in Chefoo harbor. provided
they are not dismantled to the absos
lutte satisfaction of the Japanese
naval officers.
Some apprehension has been ok
pressed in other capitals that tn Ase
apparent breaches of Chinese neuA
trality By Japan may extend to the
land operations of the hostile army.
This feeling is not shared in WASH
ington, and although the officials will
not make public the source of their
information on the point there is.
reason to believe that they have been
assured by both Japan and Russia
that there vii! be no extension of the
warfield beyond Manchurfa and per-
haps Korea. which constituted the
original theatre.

SLAP FOR PACKERS
No Legal Right to House
Men in Stockyards.
Hungry Fed.
CIV the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Aug. Incorporation
Counsel Tolman has given to Mayor
Harrison an opinion declaring the
packers at the stock yards have no
legal right to house men in their
packing houses.
The opinion was given in response
to the request of the mayor, who was
informed by the Chicago Federation
of Labor that the packers were board
ing men contrary to the law.
The opinion of Corporation Counsel
Tol1nan declares that the packers are
not violating any provision of the or
dinance Regulating lodging houses for
the reason that they are not letting
lodgings for hire. The opinion does
hold however, that the regulations
calling for fire escapes and exits IN
buildings where large numbers OF peo-
pie are housed have not been COM
piled with, and suggests that the pack
ers be given a period of three days TO
commerce. the alterations in their
buildings or to find new quarters Tor

The mayor. after receiving the opin-
ion. sent it to Chief of Police O'Nell
with instruction to- see that the pack
ers obeyed the law!
George f. Golden, the head of the
striking packing house teamsters, was
found not guilty of disorderly conduct
this afternoon by jury in the court
of Justice Quinn.
Police Inspector Hunt preferred
charges against Golden for ordering
teamsterg who was hauling a load of
meat to take it back to the place
where he procured it, The point of
the case was whether or not Golden
had threatened the teamster in giving
his order, and the jury after being
out for an hour and ten minutes de-
cided that Golden was not guilty.

During the Kansas City flood many cars
belonging to foreign roads were destroyed,
damaged and detained. and the local roads
upon whose tracks those cars were held
sought TO escape the responsibility under
the interchange rule. requiring the return
of equipment in good condition as when
received. on the ground that the results
were due TO act of providence. The
amount involved reached thousands of dol
lars. and as no satisfactory settlement
could be secured the matter was finally
submitted to the arbitration committee of
the American Railway Association. This
committee has ruled that the cause of
damage TO cars or the cause of detention is
imma terial. and that the road in whose
possession the cars were destroyed. dam
aged or delayed should fully reimburse the
owners in accordance with the provisions of
the master carbuiders' rules and scales

freight cars as adopted by the American

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Chancellor of the Ex-

held here tonight, said that unless a great
change occurred within the next few
months in the revenue returns, there would
be little prospect of realizing the budget an
ticipations, and that he was afraid he
would not be able to propose a remission of
taxation during this session of Parliament.
He explained that the Southland cam
paign had proved to be much more costly
than had been anticipated; and that the
purchase and equipment for the Chilean
battleships had been another unexpected
financial drain. He hoped it would not be
necessary to increase the Indebtedness of
the state, but said there would be special
need for economy in the national expendi-
ture for some years TO come.
