State Department Makes Vigorous
Protest Against Proposed Action Of
England.

Vigorous protest by the United
States against the declared purpose
Of Great Britain to seize all cargoes
destined for Germany and Austria,
deemed to be contraband, even II
they are carried in American ships, led
to renewed conferences at the state
department between Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, the British ambassador, who
had notified this government of Eng
lands position, and Secretary Of State
Bryan.
AS a result it was announced that
Great Britain had conceded the Unit
ed States contention as far as food
stuffs were concerned, and that there
would be no interference with ship
ments of such products to Holland.
Furthermore, a revision by the
British government of its proclama-
tion with respect to contraband was
promised.
President Wilson told callers that
the British government has been most
friendly in its attitude on shipments
OF possible unneutral character in
American vessels and had shown a
willingness to discuss the question. He
declared that he had no doubt that a
satisfactory arrangement would lie
reached.
The state departments statement |
after the conference read:
1T is understood that the British |
crnW Drrl~ ont fwH
clamatiOn with respect to contraband, ]
and meanwhile in neutral ships goods, |
such as foodstUffs consigned to Hol- |
land, in respect to which the Neither
lands government has placed an EN-
barge on expectation will not be treat
ed as contraband"
That the position of the allies TO-
ward conditional contraband of war
will be one of requiring proof Of limo
cent intention was indicated when the
British embassy made a claim that
copper cargoes seized on their way to
Holland would not be restored. The
copper seized recently by the British
vas on its way to the Krupp gun
works in Germany by way of Holland.
The position of the French govern
nent is indicated by the announce
nent that French warships recently
eized a cargo of silver bars consigned
" the Guggenheims to the Bank Of
Holland. The silver was released only I
fter a French prize court had deter
mined that the cargo was actually
for Holland, a neutral coun-
ry, and had been ordered before the !
of the war.
The British position caused the first
erious complication which has arisen
etween the United States and any ]
( the warirng powers of Europe so
ar in the war. :

Awaiting Their Fate.

carr johnson and Louis Irley. the
TWO men being held for the murder
OF James Mulloy at the Blue Lakes
grade during the latter part of July.
are being kept In separate cells In
the county Jail by the sheriff silently
awaiting the wheels of justice to de-
termine their fate, says the Shoshone
Democrat.
The story of the murder is one OF
the most CHASTITY known to the an
nails of time In this whole section.
According TO II written confession
obtained from one OF the prisoners.
they johnson and IrleyJ fed from
'he scene OF their crime and hid in
the Blue Lakes canyon over night. At
daylight, they cut across country TO
the railroad tracks near Falls CITY
ana thence on toward Eden where
later In the afternoon they were APP
pretended by the officers and taken
into custody.
While neither of the prisoners adj
init that the killing was premeditated
or that their motive was robbery, yet
valuables belonging to Mulloy were
found on their person after arrest
and a knife belonging TO Mulloy was
later found In Johnson's coat which
ne mad thrown away while being per
sued by the officers, all of which
tends strongly TO indicate the motive
was robbery.
Letters found in Johnson's pockets
Indicate that he comes of good fam
lily in Salt Lake City and that he was
well liked where he formerly worked
in meat market there and II is like
ly that bad company and too much
liquor were largely responsible for
the trouble he is in At times since
being confined In Jail he sobs bitterly
and suffers intense grief over what
he has done. Irley. on the other hand,
seems TO take the matter quite cool
and seems unconcerned and even sur
ley at times in his conversation. II
is said that when a boy he served
considerable time In reformatory In
the state of Missouri
Both men waived their preliminary
examination before the probate judge
and are being held on a murder
charge awaiting the fall term OF dis

Summer Constipation Dangerous

Constipation in summer time is
more dangerous than in the fall, win
ter or spring. The food you eat is
often contaminated and is moe like
ly to ferment in your stomach. Then
you are apt to drink much cold water
during the hot weather. thus injuring
your stomach. Collie, fever, ptomaine
poisoning and other ills are natural
results. Po-Do-Lax will keep you
