TIGER TEAM MAKES
BUT ONE SCORE

Princeton, Oct. ia steady driz-
zle of rain gave the Tiger squad a
slippery field, and wet, heavy bail.
for their afternoons practice today.
1t was almost their first experience
this season with a rain that made
the footing treacherous and the hand
ling of the ball difficult, but in spite OF
it the men did pretty well. Their
cleats caught almost all of the time
and there were few falls.
There was only one score In the
scrimmage this afternoon, Tibbett
skirting the end for q touchdown
after twenty-five minutes of battling.
The second team held the regulars
scoreless for twenty minutes and 1t
was not until the scrub eleven relieved
them that the varsity could tally.
There was little better charging
in the first line, Hogg especially dis
tinguis1ing himself.

not of war. The words absolute or
 tconditional contrabands in view of the American goyernentnsss therefore, should not exist. The Limited States
 insists that the facts proving that hostile diStine ton is intended. must be shown at the time of a vessels seiz- ure. It claims that the presumption Of guilt should not rest on the ship per in neutral commerce but that the burden of proof should be placed on the belfigerent. Similarly, a cargo con- signed Ito order" that is, sent, to, no specific consignee, in a neutral coun- try, is not of itself a suspicious cir cun1stance, according to the contention
 of the American note.
 The American government nnain- tains that the belligerent may exercise
 the right of search but cannot divert a neutral ship to a belligerent port for further examination unless proof is shown at the time of detention of g
 hostile destination, of the cargo. One of the most far-reaching points in t11e note is the attitude taken on absolute
 and conditional contraband destined to bellfgerent countries. The Amerf-
 can government argues that the bell Eligerent must prove conditional con-
 traband is destined for use by the army or navy of its enemy.
 In view of this position on condition- al contraband shipments, the ATnert- can government believes that there
 should be no interference with the
 foodstuffs and products of the same class consigned to neutral countries. The communication is couched in a. friendly tone, setting forth that the United States wishes to speak in terms of nankness lest it's silence be mfsin- terpreted as an acquiescence in the policy which, it says, is arousing pulp
 hc feeling in this country on every side. It refers to the cordial relations
 existing between Great Britain and the United States but declares the British policy with regard to neutral com
 nerce is held in many quarters in the United States as directly responsible tries
 A reply is not expected for several
 days, as the note probably will be con- lsfdered at length.

DIR. MEEKER SHOWS. HOW FARM FRS LOSE
 ON THEIR PRODUCE
Fault Is Not With Commission Houses So Much As With 1
 Manners of Shipment.

Princeton, N. J., Dec. 29-Co-ordin- atfon in distributing commodities will do much toward reducing the cost of living and bring greater profits to the farmer. Dr. Royal Meeker. United States Comm issioner on Labor Statis- tics, told the members of the Aneri- can Economic Association, in conven- tion here today.
 While MT. Meeker admitted that farmers doubtless had lost money marketmen many losses were a-ttribut- able to failure to acqtiaint tlleInse1wes with market conditions before ship ping.
 s'The great majority of eases. in which farmers have shipped produce received little or nothing in return are not cases of dishonesty at all," he said. ttIn most instances the loss is due to ignorance of market conditions, bad packing, bad selecting and grad ing, or poor transportation arrange lack of coordination in distributing commodities. The resulting waste is stupendous.
 "Cantalopes were shipped last Aug ust into Washington in such quantf- ties that commission merchants re- fused to handle them. On one day lHifty-eight carloads of peaches were dumped into St. Louis, which ordinar- fly can absorb about fourteen or f1f- teen carloads a day during the peach season One hundred and sixteen car- loads of apples struck New York city one day last month. The market was so glutted that apples from North Easton, Pa, netted only about seven teen cents per bushel. At this time the consumer was paying $1.6O to $2 per for bad apples, while the producer was receiving from fourteen to seventeen cents per bushe1 for good apples.
 'The differentia1 is enormous but it represents wastes rather +ban profits. The fault is due mostly to a lack of coordination in our economic system, and scarcely at all to the dishonesty

DEMANDS ENGLAND CEASE RENDERING
 COMMERCE OF |. $.
Diplomatic Note from President to British Foreign Office Asks Bet
 ter Treatment of Ships

i . ss 4 r
 Washington, Dec 9-offciaI Wash ington awaited with much interest the outcome of the expected conference in London today between Ambassador Page and Sir Edward Grey, the Brit ish foreign secretary, for the presen- 1tation of a long note from the United States government insisting that the Legitimate commerce of this country should not be unduly molested by the British fleet.
 The communicatton, prepared by President wilson and his advisers in the state department. was regarded here as the strongest representation on the subject of commerce made by the United States to any bel1igerent since the outbreak of the war.
 In view of the important principles laid down in the note it was expected to have a far-reaching effect on the attitude of other neutral countries to- ward the general subject of contra band. Some diplomats thought that 1t might have been the calling of the con1erence of neutraIs proposed by Venezuela to revise rules of interna- ftiona1 for the protection of neutral commerce.
 The note was not the result. 1t is Understood, of any particular violation. by. Great Britain Of what Washington considers it's commerce rights, but was intended as a protest against the gen
 
 ment, to which France has practically adhered in the treatment of neutral lcargoess
 The documents point out that the United States was patient in the early days of hostilities, realizing the war had burdened the British foreign office with serious problems. It declares that with the passing Of five months, how ever, the situation has grown worse Administration officials realize that many millions of dollars in claims are accommodating against the British gov ernment, but the note sets forth that reimbursements alone do not cure the evil, as American shippers are practi- cally fntinnidated and fear to embark upon legitimate export trade. The America. note declares the rela- lions between neutral countries ara those of peace and normal times and

of individuals. The. solution can be achieved neither by prosecution Of commission men nor by elimination of them, but by organization of the mar ket, but the law can effect some in1- provenent by licensing and bonding commission merchants and subjecting them to federal inspection.
 "A more important step is to or ganize the farmers into local co-opera- tive associations. The federal De- partment of Agriculture is doing good service to encourage the formation of such marketing associations, of which there are about 800 present in the Unit ed States. The objects of such asso- ciationS should be to determine the crops to be grown, to insist on proper methods of growing, to standardize and guarantee the quality. to superin- tend gathering, grading and packing, to arrange for transportation and ter n11naI facilities, and to bargain with railroads for fair freight rates"
 Reduction of transportation charg- es on perishable food-stuffs also was advocated by MT. Meeker.

 THRILLING DRAMA

Big Jim Garrity.'' a play which re- gently had a run on Broadway. was presented by the CaIburn Stock com pany last night at the Lyric theatre The production aJbounds in aariIiing situations and last nights audience was liberal with applause. The piece was written by Owen Davis, who for meTly wrote cheap meIodraInas but lately has been turning out higher class dramas for the Broadway stage
 Lowell Sherman, the popular lead ing man, was seen to fine advantage in the role of Big Jim Garrity." He gave a, convincing portrait of the man who is willing to sacrifice himself to save his son from punishment for a crime. He is afraid the boy is guilt, but the audience finds out that this iz not the case.
 Miss Ruth FIndley, the aftractixe ingenue. made a favorable inBressi6ra as Judge Cragan's daughter. Her wilR- some ways pleased the people ina rnensely. Edward Darney scored heavily as Big Jinn's son. Miss Vfolet Barney as Mrs. Dexter did well and a member of the original New York cast.
