MEAT PACKERS ASK
GOVERNMENTS AID
want Uncle Sam to Demand That
Great Britain Stop Interfering
With Trade

Washington, July 14.-American
meat packers appealed to the state
department today to demand that
Great Britain stop interfering with
cargoes consigned to neutral ports
and settle for S14,O0O,OOO worth of
their products now held in the prize
court. They charge the British gov
ernment with destruction of com
merce in food products between the
United States and other neutral ma
tions.
After the conference between the
packers and Chandler Anderson, spe-
cial counsellor of the state depart
ment, it was announced that the de-
partment would make representa-
tions to Great Britain. The pack
ers will discuss the difficulties fur
ther with Mr.. Anderson tomorrow.
In a statement tonight outlining
their case as laid before the depart
ment, they declare that the British
government purposely delays settle
ment Of their claim for seized cargoes
and that thev are not inclined to re-
open trade with neutral countries un-
less they can be assured of delivery
of their shipments to ports desig-
mated.

THOUSANDS DROWNED.
Widespread Famine i'm Canton Dis
trict Involving Millions

Hong Kong, July 15.-Tens of
thousands of natives, it is estimated,
have been drowned by the floods in
the Chinese provinces of Kwantung,
Kwangsi and Kiangsi, and the desc
lation in the devasted districts is ter
rible, according to the latest reports
reaching here.
A fire-swept area of one mile and
raging floods are handicapping rescue
work in Canton.
The city was in darkness last night,
the water having inundated the cleo
trio light plant.
Missionaries have arrived here
seeking the assistance of the United
States gunboat Callao to aid in the
work of rescue.
Last reports from Canton before
communication was cut say the Chris
tian hospital is in danger.

THE OPIUM TRAFFIC.
A Very Heavy Royalty Put Upon
the Drug

Washington, July IA compro-
mise in the Chinese opposition to the
opium traffic under which 5000
chests of opium, the total stock now
in Hong Kong and Shanghai, may be
imported into the province of Khan
gsu, Kwang Tung and Kiang ST, as
medicine bearing special labels, is
told in unofficial dispatches reaching
the state department by mail today.
The 5000 chests may be imported
on payment Of royalty of $50, 200
to the Chinest government for the
whole quantity. in lieu of permitting
foreign merchants TO import into
China 1900 chests of opium this
year and 5000 chests next year, as
provided by the British treaty
This arrangement is understood
by officials here to be probably the
result OF an understanding with the
British authorities with view TO re-
lieving the merchants in the treaty
port of Shanghai and the British port
of Hong Kong, OF the burden OF keep
ing this immense stock of opium,
whose production and sale for com
mercial purposes is prohibited in
China.

Working on Note.

Cornish, N. H., July 14-Presi-
dent Wilson spent most of the day
working on the American reply to
the German note. He wrote long
letter to Secretary Lansing, and re-
ceived one from the secretary. 1t was
said the communication had to do
with the German situation, but moth.
ing was given out
That the Presidents plans were
taking shape was understood here,
but it was indicated he still was with
holding final judgment until he had
discussed the subject with his cabi-
net
The President today received many
kilograms and letters bearing on the
situations. Editorials from news
papers also came to his attention.

CABINET MEETS TUESDAY.
Bernstorf to Call on Lansing and
Explain the Viewpoint Of His
Government.

Washington, July 14.-Omcials
were at work today setting down
views on the German situation in
definite form for presentation to
President Wilson on his return.
The general belief is that the Pres
ident will be here for a regular cab
met meeting Tuesday and that he
may bring with him from Cornish,
n. H., rough draft Of a note to be
sent to Germany. He will exchange
views first with Secretary Lansing.
who, 1t is believed, also has mapped
out draft Of a note. Decision on
the policy to be followed probably
will be reached at the cabinet meet
ing and the new note may be com
pleted by the end Of next week.
Before the President returns
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, will call ON Secretary
Lansing, to explain the viewpoint of
his government.
The ambassador recommended to
the foreign office the inclusion in the
last note of those paragraphs ex-
pressing the hope that the United
States and Germany would work to-
Bether for the adoption of the prin-
ciple of the freedom of the seas. He
places much confidence on the ex-
pressed willingness of Germany to
follow the lead Of the United States
in this way, and thinks the way is
open for the United States to mediate
the controversy on the rules of mari
time warfare as they effect neutral
rights.

SUFFRAGE LEADER REBELS.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw Refuses to
Make Return for Taxes.

New York, July 14.-Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, president of the Amer
lean National Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation, probably will not attempt to
save her little yellow automobile
from sale at auction at Media, Pa,
next Tuesday to satisfy a tax assess
ment, according to statement she
issued here today. The car, named
Eastern Victory" was presented to
Or. Shaw by group of her follow
ers. 1t was seized at Moylan, Penn
sylvania, DR.. Shaw's residence, Mon
day and is to be sold at auction to
pay tax assessment of $120 levied
upon DR. SHAY in 1913.
The suffrage leader declined to
make out list of her property sub
ject to taxes on the ground that to
tax her without giving her the right
to vote" would be "heaping iniury
upon tyranny
I'm the spirit of 1776." her state
ment reads. "she declined to be a
party to any act which violated the
national constitution"

AIRCRAFT IN MAKING.
British Have Built Sixteen Aerial
ShiDS.

London, July 1.-THE annual ac-
counts of the British dock Yards ex-
penditures for the last year reveal
Tor the first time to the public that
airship mo. IS" was in the course OF
construction in 1914. 1t has been
the impression that at that time
Great Britain had confined its air
craft activities almost exclusively to
aeroplanes. and the fact that 16 air
ships had been built was known only
to the initiated.
The same accounts give the total
cost of the combatant ships in the
Lritish navy in commission at the
end of the last fiscal year at upwards
of 1870, 900, 900.

FRENCH HOLIDAY.
Quietly But Impressively Celebrated
in Paris.


Paris, July 14.-France today cele-
brated her national holiday quietly
but impressively. There was less of
parade and less frolic than since the
origin of the third republic. There
was no open-air dancing, no fire.
works and no rejoicing of any kind.
1t was poor day for the wine
shops but n great day for patriots.
The faded tri-color flags flying since
the outbreak Of the war were repIac-
ed by fresh banners. Everywhere il
was distinctly day of the national
battle hymn the "Marseillaise" and
day in Paris for thousands of
patriots who honored Captin Claude
Joseph Rouget de Lisle, composer of
the hymn whose body was brought
from Choissy-le-Roi and placed in
the Hotel des Invalides or decorated
the monuments in the Place de La
Concorde.

taken in reaching a verdict.
Justice Hendrick on Friday morn
ing will anounce whether the COM
mitment upon which Thaw was in
carcerated in the State Hospital for
the Criminal Insane at Matteawan

the slayer of Stanford White the lib
erty for which he has fought in the
courts for nine years.
1t was at the end of day of ad-
dresses by counsel and the charge of
Justice Hendrick that the Jury retir-
ed. While the twelve men were de-
liberating the crowd in the court
room and about the court house was
augmented by scores of people, who
believed that p verdict quickly would
be found. Shortly before O'Clock a
bailiff came from the jury room and
Informed Justice Hendrick that a
verdict had been reached The doors
Immediately were locked and Justice
Hendrick, ascending the bench,
warned the spectators against any
demonstration. Then the jury came
in. In reply to a question by tho

was passed to the Justice. Justice
Hendrick read it and handed it back
to the clerk.

Gentlemen of the jury" said the
clerk, "the question you have been
asked is this rs Harry X Thaw

Despite the warning several per-
sons stood up in front of their seats.
The court room hummed like a dyn-
amo. Justice Hendrick and a dozen
court attendants raped for order.
Meanwhile Thaw, who until the
verdict was announced, sat at the
counsel table with his chin resting in
handkerchief had turned around
and grasped the hand of several of
his counsel. Then he went to where
his mother vas sitting, few feet
away, and throwing his arms about
Thaw at the same time patted her
daughter, Mrs. George L. Carnegie,
