vsrssd at 81. Petersburg.
washington. May 24.--In cabling the
state department the high court OF
admiralty at st. Petersburg has re-
versed the decision of the Vladivostok
prize court and ordered the liberation
Iof the steamer Calchas and most OF
her cargo. Ambassador Meyer reports
that these articles Of her cargo was
liberated, all being American goods;
$4,000 sacks of fiour The court con-
fiscated So bales OF cotton and 81 pieces
OF wool and held II pieces OF electrical
machinery awaiting tha cecision OF
the prize court.
1t is probable that the department of
state will contest the decision Of cot
ton contraband Of war. officials here
express the opinion that It declares
cotton contraband on the ground that
II might be made into gun cotton, while
the real reason was a desire to pre-
vent the Japanese cotton mills from
receiving supplies of raw material
which might be made into clothing foi
the japanese army. The Calchas plies
between Tacoma and Liverpool, touch
ing at Japanese and Chinese ports. She
was seized last Auguts by Russian
cruiser.

enormous sum Of the city's money.
Smith pleaded builty at teh request
OF prominent bankers to save the
banks from serious embarrassment or
perhaps complete collapse. He took
the punishment at the entreaty Of the
bankers, who had been interested with
him and who knew trial of the case
would bring out rulnous facts. The
bankers went to Smith and borrowed
from him vast sums. The money was
used for speculation and gambling for
quick returns. Smiths compensation
was per cent interest on the money
he allowed the banks to use. The loans
were made for few days at tima.

which the financial men risked the
city's money went wrong. they gave
notes to be paid in several months. At
times during Smiths three years in
