CONGRESS, WILL DECIDE HOW TO
 DEAL WITH i. B.
Requisitioning of American Ships by England Devel-4 4
 ops Acute Issue.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The action of Great Britain in requisitioning the American steamships, Genesee and Hooking, owned by the American Transatlantic Steamship company, has developed the most acute issue between the two governments since the beginning of the war; At the state department it was described to- day as "unexampled as an arbitrary act and without precedence as viola tion of international law"
 The entire matter will be called to the attention of congress. It is known that on Monday, the opening day, a. resolution will be introduced in the senate, directing the foreign relations committee to investigate the blockade of neutral ports by Great Britain, and report what legislation is needed to protect American vessels.
 ~ In the meantime, the state depart ment has protested to Great Britain. If she declines to heed the protest, the department will demand peremp- torily that the vessels be released, and that the act be disavowed. The SIdIc UCpdIJIlcuL OulCldlo Sdlu tOudy If Great Britain should refuse, re- dress must be sought elsewhere than ill the department. This was inter- preted to mean that the administra- tion would lay the whole matter be- fore congress and ask it to decide | what to do.
 There is no precedent or authority in international law to justify the requisitioning of a vessel before its case has been adjudicated in the prize court, according to Cone Johnson J solicitor for the state department.

CIGAR MAKER ON
 RAMPAGE, TRIES
 TO KILL OFFICER
Crowd in J. of P. Court Scoots, and Leaves Con-
 stable to Fight for Life.

J. A. Frazier, white, about 35 years of age, cigar maker, is held at the county jail, awaiting trial before Justice of the Peace Cliff c. Brewster on charge of disturbing the peace and a charge of carrying a pistol as result of a rampage he started while alleged to be crazed with drink yes- terday just after lunchtime.
 Constable Clint Green saw Frazier come out of Bobbitt & Dancy's drug store, following Roy Campster, and cursing the latter. Green ordered Frazier to cease using such foul language, and was himself cursed. Green and Campster succeeded in getting the man into t1le constable's office, where it was intended to allow him to sober up bit. Frazier con tinued to foully curse every one in sight, and used such language toward Green that the constable knocked him down. Frazier continued cursing, however, and Green asked Justice Brewster for a commitment, saying he was tired of such abuse and would lCck Frazier up.
 Green stood by the desk as Justice Brewster wrote the commitment, and when his attention was attracted a moment later, he turned ito sec Frazier pointing 3 new, blue-steel Colts revolver at his back, while Frazier was instructing him to "tea, out of here" In flash Green had Frazier's hand and then began g struggle for the weapon.
 A dozen or more men who had fol lowed the party into the office tool to their heels. when Frazier drew his gun, rushing pellmell down the hal and the stairway. Green and Frazier wrestled around fiercely, Greens head being pushed through the glas' in the office door. Deputy Constable Jim Reidinger was in the adjoining l office, and heard the noise of the breaking glass. He came to investi gate, and immediately aided his superior in subduing Frazier. The latter was then removed to the jail with two charges against him.

Buenz Asserts He Alone Re sponsible for Supplying
 German Ships.
AGREEMENT IS AT
 GERMAN EMBASSY
Defendants at New York Trial Say Contract with German Government, Entered Into Before Outbreak of
 War, Turned Over to Embassy.

New York, Dec. 1.-Thc defense in the Hamburg g-American line case rested this afternoon.
 William Rand, Jr., will sum up for |Ghe defense in the morning. Assis- tant United States Attorney Robert B. Wood will do the same for the government.
 The case should be given to the jury not later than 1 o'clock. It will be the first time a neutral jury has passed on a case growing out of the War.
 The entire session today was taken up with the testimony of the four defendants, pr. Karl Buenz, George Koetter, Adolf Hachmeister and Joseph Poppinhaus.
 Each of the four declared firmly he acted purely from motives of patrio- tism. Further he had no intention of injuring the United States in any way, shape or manner Capt. Karl BoyEd, German naval atache, was given a clean bill of health by pr. Buenz, Koetter and Hackmester The attache had noth- ing whatever to do with their dc signs, uha three asserted.
 Dr. Buenz repeatedly declared he and he alone-was responsible for everything done by the Hamburg American line, in coaling and supply ing German ships at sea. The doctor explained certain evasions were nee. essary because of spies in this coun- | try and hostile warships outside the harbor.
 l Notwithstanding the severance oi the German cables to America by the British early in the waE the Ham burg American line was in constant cable commuhication with Germany Dr. Buenz testified. These cable grams, at the time the line sent ous relief ships, told r. Buenz where to send ships to meet German cruisers notwithstanding the isolation of the warships from the German admiralty Embassy Has Documents. The abstract of the agreement entered into by the Hamburg Amer ican line with 'the German govern. ment during 1913, whereby the former agreed to supply German cruisers at sea with coal and SUD- plies in neutral ships sailing from American ports in the event of war between Germany and some other ia. tion, has passed into the keeping o1 the German embassy at Washington Dr. Buenz testified.
 Moreover, pr. Buenz, testified. all correspondence on the subject by let ter or cable, likewise has been turned over to the embassy
 The cablegrams, it was said, were in the German naval code and were removed to the embassy when it was thought there was danger of their becoming public through this trial and thus revealing to representatives of England, France and Russia the key to the German secret code.

GREENE DECLINES SUPERINTENDENT
 INSANE ASYLUM
Board of Control States an Expert in Mental Diseases
 Will Be Sought.

Little Rock, Dec. 1.-The members of the state board of control say that they have no one in view for super intendent of the insane asylum since Dr. Greene of Hot Springs, former superintendent, declined to accept.
 "It will be our purpose to secure some one who is an expert in mental diseases, one thoroughly qualified and capable of doing the work efficiently" said the members of the board. We shall be in no hurry about it, but will take our time so that we may make no mistake"
 Dr. Greene's declination came in a telegram received this afternoon, as follows:
 "I have given your very generous offer of the appointment as superin- tendent of the State Hospital for Ner- vous Diseases such deliberate con- sideration as I have found possible under the stress of business here. Up to this, the last day of the time allow ed for consideration of the offer. have received many requests from citizens in all parts of the state urg- ing me to return to the duty of that position. For your very generous of fer and for the kindly expressions from friends in every walk of life I am deely grateful, yet I am forced to the conclusion that my best interests, including the problem of my health and the continuation of my years of efficiency, demand that I decline the offer. Please believe that it is with the most sincere regret that I find this course necessary"
