Britain May Object to Dumba
Going by Channel Boat Line

Tentative reservations for Ambassa-
dor and Mrs. Dumba on the Holland
America liner Rotterdam were made
several days ago, according 70 repre-
sentative Of the company's local once,
but no assurance was given that the
diplomat would depart by that vessel.
hReservation was hardly necessary,
said the representative, "as there VIII
be plenty Of room on board when the
vessel departs"
The Rotterdam was scheduled to sail
to-day, but the vessels trip to Newport
News for repairs caused her sailing
date to be changed 10 Wednesday.
/, was the belief in some OF the
steamship Offices yesterday that Great
Britain would not consent to the return
of Dumba on steamship going
through the English Channel. The
Dutch line in particular has been OBJ
iected TO because OF its stop at fal-
mouth. The main objection is that the
Admiralty does not wish a representa-
tive of the enemy TO steam through the
Channel. where he can observe the
naval activity in those waters. This OIL
lection was considered when Or. Dern-
burg was preparing to leave this coun-

to Great Britain and France During
their stay in this city members Of

ening letters from persons hostile to

These precautions were extended yes

Twenty detectives and painclothes

of railroad detectives. awaited the

at intervals along the short route
which the commissioners took from

Entire Train Searched.
The train was under surveillance
from the moment it was made up.
One car was set aside for the com
mission and this coach was scrutinized
more closely. perhaps. than any other.
Every article Of furniture in il was
examined. Before the car was thrown

were given q less painstaking inspec

came serious, then critical and finally
hopeless.

tend lectures at University His un-
timely death is deeply mourned by
scores of relatives and friends.
