j. s. FLAG LOWERED;
CAPTAIN WON'T GO
Refuses to Run Ship When Brit
ish Emblem Is Raised.
ASKS BRITAIN TO EXPLAIN
Washington Would Like Facts in Con-
nection With Detention Of Vessel
Steamer Dacia TO saiI-U. S.
Issues War Risk Policy.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The state de-
partment has requested Of the British
embassy information Of why the
American steamer Greenbrier, from
New Orleans and Norfolk to Bremen,
with cotton under certificate Of the
British consul at New York, was
stopped by a British cruiser, sent IN
der British flag to British port and
detained two days before being al
lowed to complete her voyage to
Bremen.
The detention of the Greenbrier was
brought to the attention Of the state
department by kilograms from Cap
tain Farley, her commander, now at
Bremen. Farley stated that the
Greenbrier was overhauled on Deem
Der 80 by a British cruiser. The board
ing officer required him to continue
on his course conveyed by the cruiser
for a day or two while the cargo was
being searched for arms.
Then the cruiser placed aboard the
Greenbrier some additional British Of
ficers, hoisted the British flag, and a
prize crew, who naT gated the ship so
that, according to Captain Farley, 1t
was damaged before it was brought
into Kirkwall There the Greenbrier
remained for three days, Captain Far
ley refusing to sail it further except
under the American flag. The British
authorities finally consented to the
raising of the American flag and Cap
tain Farley took his ship to Leith.
The points upon which the state de-
partment wants information are, first,
why it was necessary to search the
Greenbrier in view Of the certificate
issued by the British consul at New
York. and second, why neutral mer-
chant vessel was compelled to lower
its flag when under no known rule
could it be regarded as prize.
Ambassador Page, at London, has
cabled the state department that
Great Britain would not agree to the
American proposal that the steamship
Dacia be permitted to make voyage
to Germany with the cargo of cotton
it is loading at a Texas port.
Representative of the owner of the
steamer Dacia have informed the
state department that as soon as load
ed the steamer will proceed on her
voyage.

3. r. Strauss, Note Broker of Chicago,
Admits Kiting Checks for Man.
Chicago, Jan. 22.-Creditors of the
Fox River Distilling company de-
manded the production in court of all
books and papers of the company
when the suicide of Charles Ledowsky,
head and sole owner of the concern,
revealed Wednesday frauds amount
ing to $4,000. The confusion,
found after Ledowsky had killed him
self while on a Michigan Central train
entering Chicago showed that through
forged warehouse receipts for whisky
he had obtained large loans from
banks and others. The confession
also named Benjamin F. Strauss, a
broker of commercial paper, as hav-
ing known of his fraudulent transac-
tions. Strauss admitted that he had
carried on a check-kiting arrange
ment with Ledowsky until it was
stopped by the banks and that he had
signed many blank checks that were
filled out by others.

To Suppress Vice Commission Reports.
The report of the vice commission
is likely to have a stormy time of it.
Members of the legislature believe
there is no necessity for circulation of
the commissions report, which they
think should be suppressed.
Assemblyman J. P. Donnelly of Mil
waukee put this in concrete form when
he introduced the resolution charging
that the report contains many ex-
tracts of immoral, obscene and objec-
tionable matters which in no way pur-
ports to be part of the recommends
lions of said committee, but are mere
ly matters of evidentiary character"
Mr. Donnelly said he would take this
matter up with postal authorities and
see if the report could not be denied
the use of the mails

spoke Of the work Of the University of
Wisconsin in agricultural lines.
The occasion Of Mr.. Hogston's ad-

agricultural work are presented with
written testimonials Of recognition by
the university
I'VE have just begun an attack on
one Of the most complicated social and
economic problems-the problem Of
lettering rural conditions" said Secre-
tary Houston.
THE great university colleges of ag-
riculture are the product Of the last
ten years, and still are in their In

grown up in the last decade, owe
great debt not only to the experts who
give their services as instructors, but
to farmers everywhere who are trying
countless experiments in an endeaYor
to better rural life"
