Stop Swedish Craft, Make Custom

London, Dec. 1.-The Foreign Office
publishes to-day a statement attrlbut-
ed to the captain of Swedish steamer
that before any vessel sails, Swedish
custom houses telegraph to Berlin in
formation Of the sailing and that the
vessel does not carry contraband; and
that all Swedish vessels leaving the
Baltic are stopped at the entrance to
the Sound for examination by German
patrol boats.

loudly accused his majesty's govern

ground that il was wrong in the order
70 ask any neutral to agree TO accept
IN principle that the last word was to
be said by the prize court of belliger-
emit power in matter which might
have arisen outside the jurisdiction Of
the belligerent."
The Order in Council Of March IL
aimed at preventing commodities of any
KIND from reaching or leaving Germany
during the Lord Lansdowne de-
clared had greatly strengthened the
hands Of the government and IL was
impossible 10 suggest that II had weak
ened the country's position.
Order Had Its Effect.
II the Earl of Portsmouth would pay
a little attention TO the reports from
all sides as TO the economical pressure
from which Germany was suffering, he
would find, said the minister, that the
operations of the Foreign Office had
not been so unsuccessful as he sup
posed.
IL was 10 be remembered that the
country had other interests than those
of a belligerent, and other people had
TO be thought of. II was a mistake to
treat the question as though there
were no neutrals. In common justice
and in order that the country's diplo-
matte path should not be too rugged
the country should spare no effort to
minimize the hardships and inconven-
fences which were inevitably inflicted
upon neutrals.
Lord Lansdowne was followed By
Viscount Bryce, who pointed out that
England had already agreed with the
United States to submit questions such
as those raised to arbitration, and il
vas therefore superfuous to inquire
whether any recent assurances of this
nature had been given
Cannot Ignore Neutrals.
While England was entitled to press
to the utmost against the belligerents
all the rights which international law
allowed her, he contended that she
could not ignore the rights of neutrals.
The country might easily lose a great
deal more than it could possibly gain
by pressing them to the furthest
point, which might involve the greatest
injury to neutral countries.
The Marquis of Crewe, Lord Presi-
dent Of the Council, said that the para
mount object was not that goods should
be confscated, but they should be pre-
vented from reaching the enemy. II
vas a hopeless task to attempt to draw
up list of.articles Of contraband and
conditional contraband, or articles
which under other circumstances would
become contraband.
What, therefore, they had done was
to adapt the code to the absolute ne
cessities of the existing situation. while
remaining in this, as in other matters
scrupulously careful to infict as little
injury as possible on neutral powers.
The speaker thought the country en-
titled to ask neutrals to consider il
impossible, simply in order to save
their trade from loss, to allow goods "a
pass to the enemy, the possession OF
which must prolong the war. He
though also the country entitled to ask
neutrals to consider that the strainine
of the international code, which might
involve inconvenience and pecuniary
loss to individuals. was not the same
thing, and ought not be compared with
infractions of international codes which
were contrary to humanity and involved
personal suffering and cruelty to in

Hartford, July 1.-two men, for
whom the East Hartford police and
railroad detectives are searching, shot
: William Liptka of this city, rail-
road officer. in the East Hartford
freight yards just after midnight this
morning. Liptka was hit in the
arm by the bullet and taken to his
home. He is unable to tell how
many shots were fired and whether
both men had guns or only one.
When Liptka was on his round, he
saw two men prowling around the
railroad yards. He ordered them
away, and apparently they went Then
he continued his round. When he re-
turned he found the men again, and
before he could tell them to leave the
railroad property, he was shot in the
arm. The men ran away.
James F. Carroll, who has charge

murder in connection with the strike
disorders, was denied a new trial by
Judge CRANKY Millyer in district court
here yesterday.
Lawson was sentenced to spend the
remainder of his life at hard labor
in the state penitentiary.
Travesty on Justice.
Lawson read a long statement in
which he maintained his innocence,
charged that he had been made the
victim of I" corpora tion-controlle
prosecution and alleged that his
trial had been a 'travesty on Justice"
During the reading Lawson faltered
more than once. A tense silence
prevailed in court when the prisoner
read his statement. He said in part:
I'm the name of the courts of my
country, which l respect, / protest
against your right to pass any judg-
ment on me. Tt is undenied in this
case that you were appointed to the
bench this spring for the trial of
myself and my associates. Fresh
from the employment Of the coal
operators of Colorado, including the
Rockefellers. who have engineered
these prosecutions, yourself a coal
company attorney, you were so pre-
JUDGED against me that my case in
this court was a travesty on justice.

In Denver is reviewing your conduct"

Consul Shanklin Hampered.
Consul General Shanklin since his
arrival here with Charles J.. O'Con-
nor, representative of the Red Cross,
has been hampered in every way by
the military officials in endeavoring
to bring food into the city. Condi-
tions are becoming desperate as thou
sands are hungry while fourteen car
loads of grain purchased by subscrip-
ton among the American residents
are held up at Maravatio by the Car
rama forces and at Tultenango by the
Zapata forces. Repeated efforts to in
duce the authorities here to permit
the food to be brought into the city
have been unavailing. Mr.. O'Connor
discovered today that unless relief
comes soon the situation may become
uncOntrollable.
Practically all semblance of CEN
trail authority has disappeared. Presi-
dent Lagos Chazarro of the conven-
ton government, a Villa adherent, is
only nominally in control Of the situa-
ton, the real ruler being the MILF

organization. This body has already

Convention In Uproar.
The session Of the convention on
July 5 broke up in an uproar because
Perez Tailor. a socialist warned the
members that starvation would force
American intervention. Soto Cana,
a Zapata leader and president Of the
COMMITTEES on public health, challeng-
ed Tailor's statement and carried a
motion to vote an additional half mil
lion dollars to feed the troops defend
ing the city, defeating a motion to
appropriate funds with which to feed
the hungry popu1ace.
The people remain apathetic under
this treatment, but there is much dis
order from the brawls among the
troops.

silent ON RAIDS
Cases Against Nearly Eighty De-
PENDANTS Go Over to Thursday

Bridgeport, July 13.-with an adj
ditional detail of two policemen
guarding the doors of the city court
yesterday. nearly eighty persons were
called to answer complaints made by
the state and local police against vio-
lators Of the liquor law Sunday, fol-
lowing a series of raids that resulted
in the breaking down of doorways
| and the confiscation of twenty-one
| half barrels of beer. eight cases of
beer and fifteen gallons Of whiskey.
| All cases were continued by Judge
| F. A. Bartlett until Thursday at the
request of the prosecuting attorney,
| who stated to the lawyers present that
| the state police had been procuring
evidence in this city since last May,
| and that nearly all the complaints
would be amended to include between
two and four counts each.
Statement Like Boomerang.
The statement came in the court
like boomerang for the impression
had generally gained ground that the
police had made the raids under the
direction of Mayor Wilson, following
his conference with Superintendent
Birmingham on Saturday morning.
Little light could be thrown upon
the situation at police headquarters
yesterday but the general belief OBJ
tanned among club franchise owners
that the cleanup" came as the re-
suit of discovery that private or
CARNATIONS had demanded that state
police action be taken in procuring
evidence that liquor was being sold
in this city.
To Change Complaints.
In the city court Liquor Prosecutor
Arthur Comley told lawyers who had
appeared in defense of liquor sellers
that the complaints would be changed
and that they might view the amend
ed complaints with the additional
counts.
