The point yet TO be determined is
whether Captain Delk was given the

If he was given the opportunity thus
to save his vessel and refused TO jetti

sink the Leelanaw under international
law, il Captain Delk refused to sacrifice

Keeping the side door Of his pool and
billiard room open, was called in the
municipal court at little after .
o clock this afternoon and after few
preliminary sRirmishes Officer Jack

ed that the door was not wide open but
wide enough to permit the passage of n
person wishing to enter from the alley.

narrow space, but he stated that il was
only TO let in a breath Of air and for
ventilation purposes only. At late
