General Statement

AS the detailed point of view OF
the United States in numerous specific
cases Of definitions and seizures of car
goes, had been set forth in a series OF
emphatic protests. most of which have
gone unheeded. Todays cemmunica-
ton was couched in general terms COW
ering the entire subject of the rela-
lions between the United States and
Great Britain as affected by the lat
ter's naval policy considered highly
Objectionable by this government.
"FriendIy Spirit"
The note declares at the outset that
the representations are made in
friendly spirit, nut that the United
States considers it best to speak in
terms of frankness lest silence be con-
trued as an acquiescence in policy
on the part of Great Britain which in
fringe the rights of American citizens
under the laws Of nations.
France involved
Since France has adopted practically
the same policy on contraband as
Great Britain todays statement is
intended for all the members of the
Triple Intente. The document
points out that complaints on
every side and public criticism in
the United States hold the British poll
icy as directly responsible for the de-
preston in many American industries.
situation the seriousness of which
must be apparent to Great Britain.
Reimbursement alone for cargoes UNI
lawfully detained or seized it states,
does not remedy the evil as the chief
difficulty is the moral effect of British
practice on American exporters, who
are restrained by it from taking risks
are hazards which in no case ought to
surround legitimate trade between the
United States and other neutral coun-
tries.
Ask Definite Information
Feeling has been aroused on the SUBJ
ject to such an extent the communi-
cation adds that the American govern
ment feels compelled to ask for def
mite information as to Great Britain's
attitude. in order that it may take such
measures as will protect American
citizens in their rights.

In the meantime, American shippers
have awaited themselves of various
suggestions from the British govern
ment, such as shipping cargoes to def

countries and the taking out OF certifi-

LAMAR GRANTS THE
APPEAL BY FRANK
Indefinitely Stays Execution Of Man Charged
With Murder of 15-Y ear-Old Mary Phagan

Franks right to seek release from
custody, on a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that the trial court in
Fulton county, Ga, lost jurisdiction
over him by it's failure to have him
present when the jury returned its
verdict of guilty. Should the court de-
eide that he was entitled to ask foc
the writ, thus reversing Judge New
man of the lower court, the case may
be remanded to the district court for
the taking of evidence in support of
the petition. Should it eventually he
held that Frank must be released from
custody, it is said, mooted question
may arise as to the power OF the state
to indict and try him a second time.
This was the second time Franks fate
has rested in Justice Lamar's hands.
After the Georgia supreme court had de-
clined to set aside the verdict of con-
viction, Judge Lamar was asked to issue
writ of error for the supreme court
to review the case. He declined on the
ground that no federal question was pre-
sented, inasmuch as questions OF pre-
cedure were for the states to decide.
Justice Holmes, and eventually the other
members of the court, upon being petit
toned took the same ground
Application was then made in the Geor-
gia federal court for Franks release on
writ of habeas corpus Judge Newman
held that the condemned man was not
entitled to the writ and refused to grant
an appeal to the supreme court from his
decision because he was unwilling to is
sue certificate of probable cause as
required by a federal statute of 1908 in
such appeals
"ProbabIe Cause"
Justice Lamar then was asked to grant
the appeal and issue the certificate. In
announcing his decision today the justice
said that he had found that several
questions of federal law, unsettled by
giving rise to probable cause for the
appeal.
These questions were whether the fed
eral constitution requires an accused to
be present when verdict is returned
against him in a state court; the effect
his absence on a motion for a new trial;
and the effect of the supreme courts own
action in refusing to grant the writ Of
error in case where an alleged juris-
dictional question was presented on a
motion filed at a time not authorized by
the practice of the state where the trial
took place.

ENGLISH MIXED GRILL
FINE DISH FOR ANY OF The
LIGHTER MEALS.
Recipe That VIII Provide sufficIens
for Three Persons-DevonshIre
Cream Another Idea We Owe
to English Housewives.

A mixed grill is very popular in Eng
land for luncheon, but 1t would be as
good as light dinner or supper
The following recipe makes enough
for three persons: Three lamb chops,
one-half pound of sausages, four KID
neys, two tomatoes and half pound
of mushrooms Grill the chops
sausages and kidneys together, slice
the tomatoes and fry with the mush"
rooms The mushrooms and the toma-
toes should not be cooked long enough
for the slices of tomatoes to lose their
shape. Arrange tho meat on platter,
lay the vegetables around the edge,
garnish with parsley and serve. NO
gravy should be used with this dish,
not even the juice from the mush-
rooms and tomatoes, or the flavor will
be spoiled and the grill will look messy
and unappetizing.
Try this recipe some time when you
have a few sausages or kidneys left
over from some meal, and you will
find that you have new and excellent
dinner dish with very little trouble or
expense.
Devonshire Cream-Thfs is just al
delicious as 1t sounds and far less ex'
pensive. In fact, it isn't really cream
at all, although no one would ever
know that unless she were told, for IL
tastes like an exceptionally rich, thick
cream 1t is used everywhere In Eng
land, as it will keep for several days
in cool place and does not need to
be kept on ice. Ice in Great Britain Is
decided luxury, and not the daily
necessity that it has become in Ameri-
ca, but even though the iceman comes
daily to your door and your fresh
cream will keep sweet for day or
two, you may find a jar Of rich Dew
onshire cream a convenient thing to
have on hand.
Two quarts of milk will make
enough cream for two persons, and
the milk left after the cream has been
taken off can be used for cookies, SO
there is no waste.
Put an earthenwaree pan of milk in
q cold place for IL hours. Then place
it on the fire and let it come slowly to
the scalding point; leave it on the fire
for about half an hour, but do not let
1t boil; then remove to a cold place
and let 1t stand for seven or eight
hours, till all the cream is risen. Take
off tho cream, which should be thick
and clotted, and serve on fruit, tartss
cake, etc.

Chicago has a new keystone king,

When Joe Tinker jumped last win

to look far for a second baseman. He

BASEBALL PLAYED AT NiGHr
League Games In Saskatchewan Be-
gin at 7:15 O'Clock In Reglna
and Terminate at 10.

Regina, the capital Of Saskatche-
wan province, with population OF
about 10000, has adopted the mora
daylight plan Of moving the hands
of the clock forward one hour. The
change went into effect May l and
will continue up to October 1. AS a
result, the baseball games start at
7:15. 1t will be possible then to con-
tinue play up to 10 o'clock.
The crowds are composed of about
three-quarters men and one-quarter
women rooters, and average about
1900 game the year around. 1t is
an everyday sight to see fifty or sixty
automobiles lined up along the right
and left field foul lines. And how
these automobiles do root! Every
noisemaking instrument known is
brought into play to cheer on one of
the home boys. A good play by
visitor also brings out round OF ap-
plause.
A peculiar situation turned up at
Regina few days ago. In the ninth
inning against Saskatoon Regina had
men on first and second, with one
man out and the score to against
them Jack Smith laid down bunt
which the pitcher, Cadreau. threw
into the bleachers. Both runners
scored, apparently winning the game,
but, owing to the ground rule which
permitted only two bases on wild
throw, Umpire Colgate ruled that only
one run had scored, and the other
could not pass third base. In the
meantime the crowd rushed on the
field and carried off the players, and
1t was impossible to resume play.
AS 1t stood the score was a tie, man
on second and third and one out.
President Fleming, to whom the
matter was finally referred, ordered
the game played over, owing to the
fact that the crowd was allowed to
rush on the field and prevent further
play.

and make another cleft. In this way
yau can break off piece after piece of

Farrell plays the ball. He does not

TYRUs cOBB's CRACKED RIBS
Georgia Peach, Planned for His "Vl
cious" Sliding, Gives His Own
Version of the Matter.

Speaking Of Ty Cobb's ribs, the re-
suit of an all too strenuous slide into
a base, reminds me of an incident con-
corning that wizard of the paths. Cobb
has always been PANIED all around
the American ring for his vicious"
base sliding
The Tigers had played this day at
the Yankee park. AS usual Ty had
slid into some baseman and the eve
ming papers had taken him to task
because Of his deliberate spiking."
That night Cobb was playing billiards
at his friend, John Doyle's. The ques-
ton Of his base sliding was talked of.
Suddenly Cobb dropped his cue, and
facing half hundred fans-some for
him, but most against him-he said:
They say cut men down purpose
ly on the bases. / play the game to
win. can't help it If they block my
way. When I'm coming into base
feet foremost, I have the right of
way. It's the rule of baseball. But
want all you men to bear witness that
Ty Cobb doesn't do all the cutting
down. Just look here boys" and Ty
sat on the billiard table and pulled
up both trouser legs to his knees.
Each leg was cut from ankle to
knee in a frightful gay. Hardly an
inch of whole skin remained uncut OF
bruised. And they say deliberately

Rebel Cakes, now manager Of the

winter owing to the fact that the st.

he played great ball last year, and had
a good offer from the Federal league
offered him exactly the same salary as
he was paid in 1913. He adds: CT
