BRITISH CABINET WILL ACT.
Takes Up Russian Seizure of Ships in
the Black Sea.


III the British official circles the recent
seizures and overhauling of British ships
in the Red sea by the Russian volunteer
fleet steamers Smolensk and st. Peters
burg are regarded as very grave interna-
tional incidents. The seizure of the Pc
ninsular and Oriental steamer Malacea
by the st. Petersburg and her arrival in
the Suez canal as prize of war on her
way to Libau, on the Baltic, has come
as climax.
British law officers acknowledge the
right of the Russians to seize and detain
mails, provided that only official COM
munications are taken, but they take the
most serious view of the status of the
two Russian ships patrolling the Red sea
and if any Off aal action or protest ensues
it will be chiefly in regard to the passage
of these erstwhile merck mt ships
through the Dardanelles a. heir subse-
quent Transformation int of war.

The lawyer shook his finger

we want to hear just what you know
not what some one else knows or
what you think, or anything of that
kind, but what you know. Do you

"Wal, I know" said the witness,
with emphasis, as he lifted one Timber

through the DardaneIles. This last agree

ships thus far sent through the Darda-

WINTER MILK PRICE.
No Change in Figure Now Paid by the
Consumer

The winter rate for milk sold in Wash
as forecast by The Star several days ago,
there was no advance in the retail price.
From the present outlook dealers say milk
will be sold throughout the winter at the
present rate of cents quart
Mr.. j. w. Gregg, one of the largest milk
handlers in the District, said to a reporter
fer The Star today that the retail winter
price would be 20 cents quart straight"
Some dealers, he explained, had been SELL
ing milk at less than cents. These will
now, he added, advance their prices to the
Uniform rate of cents.
The wholesale milk dealers have made
their contracts for their winter supply and
their rate to grocers and other small neigh
borhOOd dealers who sell milk in small
quantities to families and others will be
"a cents gallon.
The producers and shippers in the sur
rounding country, Mr.. Gregg stated, VIII
receive a winter rate of ~ cents a gallon
for their product, which is an advance of
one cent over the rate paid last year..
The milk dealers of Washington are gen.
orally pleased at the outcome, it appears.
One of them said today:
Il am certainly glad the producers did
not force us to add 1O-cent milk to scent
bread. AS many of the winter contracts
between producers and wholesale dealers
have been entered into, think it is safe to
say that there will be no advance in the
price of milk beyond 8 cents a quart this
winter, unless there be a temporary rise in
the retail price during the Christmas holi-
days, which will recede as soon as the holi-
day sea son is over

BARRED FROM THE MAILS.
Fraud Order Issued Against Herald
Publishing Co. of Cincinnati.

The Herald Publishing Company of Gin
cinnati, Ohio. has been barred from the use
of the mails by virtue of fraud order is
sued against it by the Post Office Depart
ment. The charges against this company
are that it conducted, through Fred c.
Giese, its operator and owner, a fraudulent
business. The business was begun at Gin
cinnati later carried on at Columbus, and
the journal published at Chicago. Giese
represented in his circulars that the bust
ness had been in operation three years, a
statement which is declared by the post
office authorities to be false. He also repre-
dealt In fountain pens, watches, jewelry and
books. The authorities assert that these
statements are also false.
The OStenSible business of the company
was the sale of memorial cards and family
records and the copying of letters by agents
whom it employed. There was at no time
good faith shown by Giese, SO declare the
authorities, and profits from the sales of
the cards would not warrant the contin-
uance of the business for a week. Per-
sons were engaged to write letters at 70
cents each and to deposit 81 as mark of
good faith. The inspector for the Post Or
flee Department, who made an investigation
of the methods of the company, alleges
that an examination of the records of the
company showed that the receipts for the
thirty days Immediately preceding October
10, were $712.36, and that but $12 of this
sum accrued from the sale of the cards.
the remainder coming from the dollar bills
sent to Giese as marks of good faith. Dur
ing the same period Giese paid letter-writ-
ers $26S, and his net profit for the month
was $780,
The company attempted to explain how
it could afford to pay % cents for each let
ter copied by saying that in this way an
increase of 400 per cent in its business re-
suited because of the old-fashioned hand
written letter. This statement the Post Of
flee Department characteriZes as "delib-
crate falsehood and as a matter of fact
the letters written for the company are
without value to it, being paid for entirely
from the dollar remittances made to secure

general. IAN opportunity for American
manufacturers to bring their work easily
and effectively before the German public;
for automobiling, which began here after 1t
had become established and popular in
France England and the United States, has
now reached a stage which makes Germany
a ready market for many different types of

respect to electric carriages for city use

DRIFT TO ROOSEVELT.
Mr.. VIM. B. Kings Experience on the
Stump in Indiana.

Mr.. William B. King, who has just re-
turned from two weeks campaigning for
the republican ticket in Indiana, reports the
prospects there very satisfactory. At every
point which he visited, he says, many
former supporters of Bryan have been
pointed out to him who will not vote for
Parker but have announced their intention
to vote for Roosevelt. AS his trip took him
to various parts of the state, he is satisfied
that this means general drift toward
Roosevelt The chief reasons given by
these people, Mr.. King said, were their sat
isfaction with present prosperity, an I'M
willingness to risk any change, distrust
of Parker's relations to what is called the
Wall street influence and confidence in
Roosevelt as a man of the people.
Is Mr.. King. who is a candidate for presi-
Dental e!ector on the Virginia state ticket,
will make a few more speeches in the
eighth congressional district of Virginia
during this week.

ARGUMENTS ON APPEAL.
Case of Lambert G. xNordlinger Taken
Up From Criminal Court.

The Court of Appeals today heard argu-
ments in connection Rith the appeal of
Burt Nordlinger Aiass ,Lambert G. Nord-
linger, convicted ineeFihfinal Court No of
larceny. The appellant was indicted Feb
ruary IL last for the larceny of two pianos.
At the trial it appeared that the instru-
ments involved were not pianos, but auto
electras, or auto-electric pianos. On mo-
ton the jury was directed to return a YER
dict Of acquittal on the ground that the
proof as to the articles stolen varied from
the allegation of the Indictment The same
day. however, the grand jury reported an
other indictment, charging the larceny OF
two auto-electras.
Nordiinger was convicted hereunder,
notwithstanding former acquittal was
pleaded. and It was declared that as re-
CARDS the second indictment no testimony
was heard by the grand jury.
It is claimed in his behalf that the triai
court erred in overruling a motion to quash
the Indictment; that it was reversible error
for the trial judge to overrule the plea OF
former acuuittal and to refuse to permit
finding by the jury on the plea and evil
dence and that motion In arrest OF
Judgment that was made, should have pre-
vailed.
The appeal was argued by Attorney Lew
n David for the appellant, and by ASSIST
ant United States Attorney Keigwin for the
government.
