this was ssignalized when a few days

ASK SUPREME COURT TO REVIEW l.. AND N. BILLS OF LADEN CASE
Echo of Knight, Yancey & Co. Heard In Bankers Appeal from the Opinion of the Federal Cir
 cult Court

Washington. December 29.-Attor- neys for American and foreign bankers who suffered from the failure in 1910 of Knight, Yancey & Co.,. Alabama and Mississippi cotton dealers. today asked the supreme court to. review the opin- ion of the federal circuit court of ap- peals which held that the Louisville and Nashville railway was not liable for Louisville and Nashville" bills of lading, alleged to have been issued fraudulently by the cotton firm.
 The bankers seek to hold the rail- road liable for $2,645,o00. The review is sought because of the amount in volved on the claim that the credit abroad of American bills of lading IS at stake. In support of the latter ground the application states that firms in England, France, Germany, Spain and Italy lost heavily because the alleged spurious bills of lading were attached by the cotton firm to crafts paid abroad

The Presidents statement followed discussion with his cabinet of the general shipping situation and of the protest sent yesterday to Great Britain against pro- longed detention of American cargoes and other interference with American trade.
 Publication of the synopsis of the note aroused much interest in official circles. Many foreign diplomats made formal in quiry at the state department and were promised a memorandum on the subject. In some quarters it was said steps prob ably would be taken by other leading na- tions of this hemisphere as well as Euro Iean neutrals in support of the American viewpoint.
 Has Spoken Firmly
 The Presidents comment on the situa- ton convinced callers that the Washing ton government had spoken firmly of it's desire for improvement in the conditions Of neutral commerce and was prepared to further insist on it's rights. The Presi- dent declared that the point of view. adopted by the United States in it's note was hardly debatable. as England has ad- hered to 1t in previous wars
 At the cabinet meeting it was suggested that shippers should be warned against shipment of doubtful articles in non-con traband cargoes. The White House then issued it's suggestion regarding manifests. The President said the great embarrass- ment to the government in dealing with

ENGLISH OFFICIALS
 NOT SURPRISED BY AMERICAN MESSAGE
Say Conditions Not Within Great Britain's Control Are Not Taken In Con-
 sideration By U. $.

London, December 29.-t5;:i2 n. ma The United states' protest to Great Britain against detention of American cargoes by Dritish warsbips caused lit- tie surprise in official circles here. For several months negotiations on the subject have been in progress between Ambassador Page and Foreign sccrc- tary Grey and the American note, n synopsis of which was published here today, is regarded ns n summary of the grievances Of the United stntes in this connection.
 Tho note itself has not yet reached the foreign office. and until 1t does no of ilcial comment Is expected. The foreign office however, has constantly reiterated It's regret at the delay to American ships and high officials have expressed q de- sire 10 expedite examination of Ameri- can cargoes as much as possible under the existing trying conditions.
 Statements that the delaying of car goes by the British authorities is held re- sponsble for a. certain depression in American trade have created some sur prise. Officials expressed the opinion to- day thai Americans holdirg sueh views must fail to take into consideration the sweeping effect upon American commerce of the disappearance of German m IT. chant ships from the sea, as well as other effects of the war beyond the control of Great Britain and her allies.
 Will Make Statement
 It is believed generally ip London that the foreign office will make detailed statement as to the activities of the navy in detaining suspected cargoes which will put these contraband troubles in diff ferent light. The foreign office time and again has expressed It's regret that mer- chants in no way violating the neutrality should suffer delay because copper and other articles declared contraband, which frequently have been found hidden under coal or other heavy cargoes. But at the same time it takes the position that trans shipment at sea and other sharp prac- tices have made careful spection imper- ative. Frequently cargoes are so loaded that inspection makes necessary a complete shifting of virtually everything in the vessel.
 The statement that the American pro- test is thoroughly approved by Presi- dent Wilson has created much comment here, and has added weight to its effect Tlere is some disposition in London how ever, to regard it to a certain extent as a measure to satisfy insstent demands in Congress.
 Particular surprise has been expressed by officials at the disposition of certain Americans to hold Great Britain partly responsible for the depression in cotton Officials believe that to be due to over production. and not to any action on the part of the British government.

change was given back and none asked. for the buyers seemed to figure that fl these newsboys could give a day to char ity they could offer the margin repre- scented in change. Within two and half hours every paper was sold and the fund was ahead just S2400. Among the old newsboys who worked for the fund were James J. Brady, collector of customs for the port of Detroit, F. Edward Spooner, head of the big photograph firm of Spooner & Wells of Detroit and Chicago; David E. Brown, president of the Peoples lee company and the General Coke and Gas company of Detroit; Joseph Guthard Louis Schneider. who Is now a prominent citizen, and many other old timers who are now Detroits leading citizens The entire project was decided success, and it was proposed that it be made an an nual event.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-12-30

the whole matter was that some shippers had concealed contra band under cargo of cotton or other non-contraband So long as there were instances of that kind the President added, suspicion was cast on every shipment.
 State department officials said later that there were two cases in which this had occurred and that Great Britain had used them as basis for general search. Solicitor Johnson declared 1t was absurd that any general conspiracy to conceal ist, because of mechanical difficulties.
 Officials predicted that one result of the present agitation might be enactment of legislation penalizing the making of fraudulent manifests.
 Talk of Reprisals
 In some quarters there was talk of pos sible reprsals by the United States in case the British fleet did not accord bet ter treatment to American cargoes. One suggestion was a possible embargo to the allies on products which the United States considered legitimate articles of trade but which the British fleet pre- vented from reaching Germany or Aus tria. Those close to the White House, however. were confident that no retalia- tory measures would be necessary.
 President Wilson predicted however that millions of dollars in private indem- mites eventually would have to be paid by Great Britain for detention of Amer ican cargoes.
 Sir Cecil Spring Rice the British am- bassador, declined to make any comment on the American stand.
