Washington, July 26.-The American
note to Great Britain on interference
with trade, which has been practically
completed. may be delayed by the re-
ceipt to-day at the jtate Department OF
a British note on the same subject.
This note is in answer to the American
note of March 80 and is an amplitica-
ton of the British memorandum re-
ceived some weeks ago. The full text
will be given out for publication on
Wednesday morning.
The British Foreign Once had the
note ready for weeks, but held it up
until the President and Secretary Lam
sing disposed of the German situation
II is supposed that minor alterations
have been made in the text as original
ly drafted, but the State Department
has been kept advised by the British
Embassy of the British attitude, and
has a good grasp of the argument IA
voring the existing restraints on CON-
merce.
The main point in the British conten-
tions is that no old principles are being
violated. but that, owing to changed
conditions, a new application has to be
made. 1t is argued that, as the politi-
cal ports of Germany are not the actual
commercial ports, it would be futile &c
establish a blockade of the German
coast only. Germany's North Atlantic
trade normally passes through HOLLAND
and Belgium, and therefore blockade

San Francisco, July 26.-William

Becker Gets Two Days Respite;
His Offer TO Testify Refused
Justice Ford, Barring Slayer
and Others as Witnesses,
Says He Will Take Aft
davits at Face Value
May Decide Tonight.

Charles Becker will have two more
days of life anyway. His execution
was postponed last night from to-mor-
row 70 Friday morning.
This was done by Warden Osborne,
of Sing Sing prison, at the request of
Justice John Ford. of the Supreme
Court. before whom argument for and
against Becker's motion for a new trial
was heard yesterday.
Finding that he would not have suf-
fcient time to make study of the new
developments in tire case, the justice
telephoned to Warden Osborne shortly
before 7 o'clock last evening and asked
that Becker's execution be deferred un-
til Friday.
at >,ould not bc fair to Becker to
force ne to rush i decision in the case,
which Will be necessary if the execution
is not pun over ior two days" Justice
Ford told the Warden. Thereupon Mr..
Osborne granted the request. Sam
Haynes, the negro, who was TO die to-
morrow morning, also will be given a
two-day extension.
Becker Calm at Delay.
Deputy Warden Johnson informed
Becker that his execution had been de-
ferred until Friday morning.
"All right" Becker replied, as if he
regarded the short reprieve as but an
incident in an anticipated successful
outcome of the fght in his behalf.
He was much more interested in the
details of what had developed in the
courtroom furnished him by The Trib-
une through Mr.. Johnson.
Argument in Justice Ford's court yes
terday was ended few minutes after
4 o'clock. Briefs will be submitted by
". Bourke Cochran, Becker's counsel,
and District Attorney Perkins before
noon to-day. A decision is not expect
ed before very late tonight, at the
earliest.
Mr.. Cochran, at the close of argu-
ment, said he was ready to offer the
presence of Becker and five other wit
nesses on the stand if the court desired
oral testimony.
Afiidavits at Face Value.
81 don't see, as far as we've gone,
that the examination of witnesses is
necessary" Justice Ford replied. "The
District Attorney contends that the
contents Of affidavits submitted by the
defendant do not constitute new evi-
dence. In view Of that | purpose ac-
cepting the affiIavits at their face
value.
81 am going to cndeavor to dispose
of this case as ou ckly as possible" he
added. referring tc the brief interval
before the execution date, then un-
changed. 81 shall stay at it until it is
decided. | shall 90 into my chambers

A decision by Justice Ford will leave

putting limitations on shipments of
liquor from other States to its citizens

who served several terms on the school

SOUTH AGAIN TURNS TO NEGRO
COOKS.

Charleston, S. C.-The South is
planning a revival of old-fashioned
Southern cooking, and with it the old
time Negro cook-the best in the world,
any colonel will tell you-is coming
back into her own. The French chef
has been tried in the South, together
with the French waiter, but, except in
a few rare instances, they have failed
to satisfy the peculiar demands of the
Southern epicure, or even of the tou-
rist, who, coming South expects dishes
peculiarly Southern, and the kind of
dining room service that the trained
Negro waiter can give.
The demand for capable Negro cooks
is greater than the supply. Cogniz-
ance of this fact has been taken Off
cially by Rock Hill, S. c., where a
cooking school for Colored women is
being conducted, the expenses being
borne jointly by the people, through
the public schools, and one of the local
PuDAiS uOiilGy OApOIdblOhS. IhO Oniy
objection ever raised to the Southern
Negro cook is that she is wasteful, and
this, it is hoped, will be overcome
through the cooking school. In Georg-
ia it is planned that the Georgia Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs lend its aid
to the revival.
One large Southern tourist hotel is
advertising now that it employs no
foreign help in the kitchen; that the
cooking it ali done by Colored women.
Still another has as a feature of its
service a little kitchen in plain view
of the dining room, where Aunt Dinah
is preparing fried chicken. The South
may be wholly reconstructed in many
ways, but the Negro cook is far from
losing her place for her prestige.

CoLoRED PEOPLE TO HONOR
MEMORY OF DIR. WASHINGTON.
Plan Gigantic Campaign to Raise
Memorial Fund to Perpetuate Work
of Tuskegee Institute.

New York, December 10.-In the
midst of the grief and sorrow which
overwhlmed the country following the
death of the races wise counsellor and
faithful friend, DR.. Booker 7. Wash
ington, no more fitting tribute to his
memory has been offered than the hun
dreds of letters which have been sent
to Tuskegee Institute and to various
members of the Board of Trustees by
admiring Colored friends urging that
campaign be at once launched to
raise Booker T. Washington Memo
rial Fund to perpetuate the work of
the Tuskegee Institute, and express
ing their desire to honor his memory
by contributing to such fund.
The sentiment expressed in all these
letters is that the most permanent and
enduring monument which can be erect
ed to the memory of DR.. Washington
is to make secure the work which he
founded and for which he gave the
first fruits of his time and energy.
At a meeting of the Investment
Fund Committee of the Board of Trus-
tees which was held here in New York
City, lately, to consider the best and
most practical ways of conserving this
interest and directing it in a way to
be most satisfactory to the Colored
people, it was unanimously agreed to
appoint Mr.. Emmett J. Scott, Secre-
tary of the Tuskegee Institute, direct
or of special campaign which will be
conducted among the Colored people of
the United States. Mr.. Scott, who was
for eighteen years DR.. Washington IS
confidential secretary and intimate
friend, enjoys in fullest measure the
confidence of the public, and it is safe
to predict that DR.. Washington's thou
sands of friends throughout the coun-
try will give this effort their sympa-
thetic support and cooperation.
In order to have unified effort on
the part of the Colored people and in
order to avoid any division of inter
est in this movement, it is hoped and
urged that all organizations planning
a similar effort among the Colored peo-
pie will communicate at once with Mr..
Scott at Tuskegee Institute and will
defer any action in a national way
nouncement of its plans.
