u. s. Intervenes in Packers
Quarrel With Great Britain
State Department Will Demand Speedy Settlement Of Con-
troversy Over $l4,00O,0O0 Of Seized Meats and
Safety for Future Shipments to Neutrals.

day by their representa- tiveS in Washing
ton. Negotiations between the packers
and Great Britain have reached an i'm
passe. and accordingly the exporters have
appealed direct to the State Department.
The packers declare that the terms I'M
der which Great Britain would settle
the difficulty are too onerous to be ac-
cepted. The packers assert that the
British offer is only device on the part
of Great Britain to delay settlement.
and that there appears to be absent
the sincere desire to settle this contro-
versy." The packers statement fol-
lows:
with the sl4,0oooOO of packers prod
ucts held up in the prize courts and
with the settlement of the controversy
as remote as it was months ago. the
packers are not inclined to take further
chances in reopening the trade with neu-
trail countries unless they are able to
receive assurances the products will be
allowed to arrive at the ports desig-
mated.
With this in view tho packers are
asking the State Department to take &C
ton demanding that Great Britain as
sure protection to future shipments to
neutral ports and make satisfactory and
just settlement of the present contro-
versy." The assertion is made that with
the suspension of the export trade do
nestle prices have fallen, and that this
has reacted on the grower Of live stock
The packers assert that the attitude
OF Great Britain seems incredible in
view of the many adjustments they have
made to meet the English government in
its demand. They take the position that
they are entitled to full compensation
for their goods and declare that Amer
lean citizens should be afforded protec-
ton by the United States and that this
government sohuld take a determined
stand to protect their rights to ship to
neutral countries"
The Washington herald., 1915-07-15

The State Department soon will mako
representations to the British govern
ment with regard to the treatment ac-
corded American meat packers and their
shipments to neutral countries adjacent
to Germany. This became known here
yesterday following conferences between
representatives of the packers and Of
ficials Of the Department Of State.
According to information laid before
the State Department. the business of
the packers with the neutral countries
adjacent to Germany has been brought
to a standstill by the practices of the
British. 1t is asserted on behalf of the
meat interests that at present they are
unable to get any meat at all through
to the neutral countries. particularly the
Scandinavian countries. Denmark. Nor
way and Sweden. In the opinion of Of
ficials of tho State Department this as
sertion. If accurate. indicates a situation
meriting the most serious attention of
the United States government on behalf
of the American interests involved.
According to the packers. their efforts
to reach an agreement with the British
government regarding pending cases in
volving their interests and arrangements
for the future Of their trade with the
northern neutrals now seem certain to
fail The packers were here last May to
confer with the State Department on the
same subject. but broke off their discus
sions hurriedly when the British EN-
bassy opened the way for further nego-
tiations between them and the British
government direct. Alfred Urion. chief

Brooklyn. Miss r. Leola Hudson,
the talented daughter OF Professor and
Mrs. r. b. Hudson, Selma, Ala, grad
uated from Pratt institute in June from
the course in household science and
household arts. Miss Hudson has
made an enviable record throughout
her entire school life, starting in the
city schools of her home city at the
age Of five, She completed the pre-
scribed city school course at an early
age, leading her class of eighteen and
receiving the compliments from the
city school board by the president of
the board, who presented the diplomas
on the night of her graduation.
Entering Selma university, she com
pleted the normal course In three years
at the head of her class of fifty eight
young men and women, and the sub
ject matter and delivery of her vale
dictory address was the cause of many
complimentary expressions from the
educators. leaders and visitors present
on that occasion.
Miss Hudson afterward entered Spell
man seminary. completing the prepara-
tory college course, and remained in
Spelman four years more, taking her
college course in Atlanta Baptist col
lege, now Morehouse college, again re-
ceiving the highest honors of her class

graduation her parents and friends

times to receive them presented a,
thrilling scene.

had accomplished. she, entered Pratt
institute. In this city, for the study Of
household science and household arts
For two years she has worked hard in
this institute and, being the only color

soJouRNER TRUTH HOUSE.
Urban League to Open Home For De-
Iinousnt Girls In October.

Iinqusnt Girls In October.
The committee on the Sojourner
Truth House For Delinquent Colored
the home on Oct. l. This committee has
been at work for the last two years,
trying to mold sentiment In favor OF
Increasing the states facilities for car
ing for colored girls and trying to get
the private city homes to accept q
larger number OF cOlored girls. AS a
result Of its activities the state has in-
creased the state institution at Hudson
by an extra cottage, thus afording ac-
commodations for twenty-five more col
Ored girls, and one Of the private insti-
tutions in the city has arranged its nc
commodations so that 1t can now re-
ceive seventy-five colored girls.
At the time when the SOjOurner Truth
House committee started its activities
there were at least ninety colored girls
who should have been sent to 1nstitu
tons, but who were returned to their
homes or old environment because of
the inability OF the judges OF the court
TO dispose Of their cases properly In the
existing Institutions. There are now
at least fifty vacancies which are mol
filled because delinquent colored girls
of institutional character are not ap
pearing before the judges OF the chill
dren's court rapidly enough to Keep
these places filed.
The type Of the house to be opened
by the Sojourner Truth House commit
tee is on the order of that OF the house
of Consolation for Catholic girls. 1t
will take girls for periods ranging from
two to four months. They will be kept
under the observation of competent
trained woman who will decide at the
expiration Of their tern whether they
should be returned 10 their homes, be
placed out in desirable families or be
returned to the court for commitment.
In other words, this home Is to accom-
modate the coIored girl near delinquent
who has not got over the verge where
she can be considered immoral. The
home will be like a little family OF
twelve or fourteen persons. with the
superintendent In charge at the head
of the household.
