friends here and there are some in
Long Island City, and think they will
take care of me better than you will"
Mrs. Emo was informed that Cassidy,
who is employed as filing clerk, had
sent message recently to Heffernan.
II was into the Cassidy Club house
in Long Island City that Scanlon and
Hefernan were said to have lured Mrs.
Ellert. Both men had been employed
IN the office Of District Attorney Smith.
Politics, it was said, had much TO do
with the delay of their cases. Owing
10 the reluctance OF the District At
torney to prosecute them, charges were
preferred against him, but not sus-
tanned.
Mrs. Emo, vice pre- sident of the wom-
ans suffrage party of Queens, took up
Mrs. Ellert's cause. Through her cf-
forts and those of her friends prosecu-
tion was started by the Attorney Cen
eral. ITefernan was convicted. Mrs.
Emo learned that relatives of Heifer-
nan had intimatcd that he was ready
TO appear as states witness. 1t Was
Tor that reason that she accompanied
Mr.. Lerner to Sing Sing.
Despite rumors that he would never
be brought to trial, Scanlon's trial was
scheduled to take place shortly. 1t is
not considered probable that the new
developments will prevent it, though 1t
may be delayed until full investgs-
ton has been made.

Administration Irritated by
Additions to Contra band

Washington. March - News to-day
Of considerable additions to the al
ready formidable list Of contrabahd
laid down by the British government
was received with evident surprise at
the State Department. Official notice
of the new order-in-councll has not yet
reached the department.
Officials confess their lrablllty TO
understand the underlying principles Of
the British action, which is expected to
result in further serious embarrass-
meut to American trade. Already the
list Of commodities annouI ed by the
British government as cOntrabsnd
be:ins to compare respectfully in length
with an American tariff act, and in
cludes many staples never before re
garded even as conditional coatraband.
The addition Of cottonseed oil to the
conditional contraband list, coming on
top of tho difficulties placed In the way
70 the free export of cotton from the
United States, - regarded as particu-
larly irritating because assurances had
been received early IN the war from
Great Britain that CottonSced oil and
its products would not be declared con
traband. II Is assumed that the change
Of attitude has been brought about
from consideration Of the fact that cot
tonsoed oil and its derivatives are i'm
portadt food products

Washington Points to Assur-
ances That COttonSeed Prod

London. March 10. The British gov
ernment. it WAS announced to-day, has
added the following articles to the alb
solute cCntraband list:
Wool, wcollen and worsted yarns,
wool tops and noils. tin, chloride OF
tin, tin ore, castor oil, psrafiine wax.
copper. iodine. lubricants, hides and
all kinds Of leather suitable for mill
tary equipment. ammonia and It's salts
urea. anlline and its compounds.
Foodstuffs for animals, heretofore
on the conditional contraband list. are
broadened to include Oieagincus seeds,
nuts and kernels and animal and vcge-
table oils and fats. other than hnsecd
oil, suitsble for the manufacture OF
margarine cakes and meals
This apparently makes cottOnsccd
and all cottonseed OIL products condI-
tio1al contrabaud
The announcement that wool has
been made contraband probably will
result in an alteration of the arrange
ment whereby wool wnS consigned TO
American banks and held TO the order
of the chairman Of the Textile Alliance
for release to American mills. 1t X
expected that the action Of the govern
ment will facilitate the granting of
licenses and the shipment Of wool
bought for America at the last auc-
tions and still ~ this country. The
wool market is firm. The congestion Of
transportation facilities Is acute.

THE cooperation between the ar

that the losses incurred were not
great in proportion TO The results
achieved. The mutual support which
individual battalons afforded each
other during the operations was a
marked feature of the attack.
