British Government Said
to Know of Firms Here
Shipping Contraband.
TO UNLOAD EVERY
SUSPECTED SHIP

nit Normal Shipments" Only
to Neutral Countries.
nv Cable 20 The Tribune.l

London, Dec. SIT is impossible to
ascertain precisely how far the system
of endeavoring to run the English
/ blockade through smuggling contraband
/ has gone, but investigation to-day re-
Nealed that the government has found
numerous cases. In one instance, silk,
such as is used for airships, was found
I in a bale of cotton. The ballast tanks
of one ship are now being searched Tor
contraband.
The British government is aware OF
the names of some Of the firms IN
America engaged in this work. These
firms, it is understood, are paid in adj
vance and simply forward the illegal
shipments, hoping they may slip
through. The result is that Englands
present idea of searching vessel Is 10
take her to port and completely unload
her. So far no American chip has 0een
caught. All cases have been those OF
ether neutral ships carrying American
cargoes. 1t is expected that some or
the governments evidence, which has
been transmitted to Washington, Will
be brought out before the prize court
when the cases come up.
The government has recently inves-
tigated the commercial statistics Of
countries, particularly Holland. Den
mark, Sweden and Norway, in order 20
ascertain their normal needs OF ar
ticles now declared contraband by
England, and has determined to per-
NIT shipments 10 those countries only
to the extent of their actual needs as
shown by previous consumption, as

countries.
Washington, Dec. s.-Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British Ambassador,
to-day discussed with Counsellor Rob-
ert Lansing, of the State Department,
the status OF several American vessels
whose cargoes of meats and perishable
goods are being held for the delibera-
tion of British prize courts. The
United States has protested against
the delays and the Ambassador was
unable to give any definite promise of
what his government would do as the
calendars Of the prize courts are
crowded with cases.
The department received from Am
bassador Page to-day long report Of
his conference with Sir Edward Grey
concerning various proposals for
handling mixed cargoes and means Of
avoiding undue delays in searching
American ships on the high seas.
Counsellor Lansing. who is conduct
ing the negotiations for the State De-
partment, said, however, that the pro-
posals had not taken final form and
that there probably would be extended
discussion before a final agreement
was reached.

KESCHAEFER
FALLS BEFORE
SUTTON'S SKILL
Youthful Player Loses to
Experienced Opponent in
Final l4.1 Billiard d
Matches.

AS the result of yesterdays games in
the Professional Billiard Players League,
George Sutton's experience proved too
much for Jake schaefer in their 1900
point III billiard match at Allinger's 8
Academy. Score. 1900 to $40. The players
met in three games at 400 points each and
Sutton won easily on every occasion.
In the afternoon game yesterday. young
Schaefer showed none of the form that
characterized his late fathers play, and
was like novice in the hands of the
experienced Sutton. Time and again,
Schaefer fell down on easy draw and
carom shots. while Sutton, playing a
careful, nursing game. rolled up points
almost at will
On the other hand, Schaefer appeared
unable to get the worries in a good posi-
ton for a run, and even when he did,
failed 10 keep them together. Sutton's
highest run was 6i in the third inning,
while the best that Schaefer could do
was cluster Of Al late in the game, when
the issue was all but decided.
Sutton's youthful opponent showed
and came within an ace of defeating him.
After getting away TO a poor start
Schaefer really outplayed his opponent,
and held the lead up until the last mo-
ment, when an unfinished run of "a car

very weak on open-table shots. and fell
down repeatedly on this style of the
game. while Schaefer displayed decided

asserted itself. but it was Rear's bout
all the way. He used an effective left
jab which had Wagner's nose bleeding
before the end of the first round.

PURE FOOD FOR ANIMALS

THE sophisticators of articles used for food
have not even overlooked the members
Of the animal kingdom. 1t is bad enough to
impose on men and women, who possibly
might be assumed TO have enough intelli-
gence to protect themselves from fraud, but
the man who will foist imitation food prod
ucts on a horse, a COW, a dog, or other do
nestle animal, seems to be too mean for
words. beneath contempt; but not, 1t IS
hoDed. beyond reach of the law.
Occasionally the Board OF Food and Drug
Inspection finds that prepared foods for
horses. cattle, and other animals contain
substances that impair the food value, but
allow the vender TO make a greater profit.
\ case of this sort has been exposed by the
Department Of Agriculture 1t consists OF
mixing weed seeds with what is known TO the
trade as feed barley
Il once came to the notice Of the depart
ment. it is said, through a railroad wreck,
that a manufacturer of breakfast foods was
getting several carloads of peanut shells; for
the cars containing them and consigned to
the pure food man were smashed and their
contents disclosed. More recently the de-
partment had its attention attracted TO large
importatiOns from Canada Of weed seeds,
which cost comparativclv nothing except the
freight. The department had sufficient curl
Ositv to look into this matter, and found that
the weed seed was used to mix with feed
barley. Some Of this barley contained as
much as ten to fifteen per cent. Of the weed
seed. which. being smaller than the barley,
fitted into the spaces between the grains, in
crcasing the weight but not materially in
crcasing the bulk.
The traffic in this sophisticated barley was
given a rude Jolt when the department seized
ten carloads Of it waiting in Minnesota for
export.
