COUNCIL BUSINESS AFFECTING
ALCIERS.

That the council is becoming i'm
patient with the Southern Pacific
Company and it not disposed to grant
it any further time in the matter OF
repairing the viaduct in Patterson
street, or removing it, was indicated
by a resolution offered by Commits
sioner Newman that the matter again
be referred to the commissioner OF
public utilities, with instructions that
he confer with the city attorney to
ascertain the right of the city to at
once either order the Southern Pa
cific Company to demolish the via
duct. or for the city to do so. The
Mayor declared the company had been
given ample time to say whether 1t
would take down the viaduct or repair
it, and it seemed as if the company
did not consider the council serious.
Mr.. Newman spoke of the matter in
similar language, and offered the reso-
luton. Mr. Thompson also approved
taking positive action in the matter.
Mr.. Thompson reported to the coun-
ell that he had received a communica-
ton from Guy Hopkins and John Nc
Graw, of the company, in reply to his
inquiry for further details as to the
nature of the proposed improvements
the company contemplates, the num-
Der of men to be employed in the
shop, and when the work will be com
pleted. In the letter Mr. Thompson
read it was promised: THE buildings
will be of structural steel, and will
cover a surface approximately $50 by
260 feet. Work will be started July
l., provided the structural steel, which
is already ordered, is received in time
and if nothing happens to prevent, the
work will be expeditiously followed to
completion. Cannot give any definite
information as to the number of men
| to be employed as it will depend upon
business conditions and traffic neces
Sites"
Although the members of the coun.
Gil seemed to consider the information
rather indefinite, the ordinance grant
ing certain rights to the company was
! not repealed, and the company will be
given a reasonable time to comply
with it's promises.
Ordinance authorizing Thoma:
Egan to transfer his contract for the
reconstruction of the Cut Off road tC

London. Sept Chicago packers
were defeated in the British prize court
when that tribunal handed down q de-
cibion ON Thursday connscating to the
crown large American cargoes taken
from merchantmen. The prize court
held that these carsoes were ultimate
~ destined for Germany. TO be used BY
that country for her army and navy.
The firms whose contentions were
overruled by the court were Armour
& Co.. Swift & Co., Nelson Morris &
Go. and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
company. e
At the conclusion of its decision the
court granted leave to appeal. provid-
cd $4,000 security was posted as se-
curity for the costs OF further pro,
ceedings.
The Judgment was delivered by Sir
Samuel T. Evans. president Of the
court. Il involves the cargoes OF the
Norwegian steamships Kim. Alfred
Nobel, Bjornstjerne- Bjornson and
Fridland.
All the goods on these vessels. cori-
sisting principally of American meat
products. are confscated. with the ex-
ception OF a small portion which the
court released to claimants.
The case has been pending for sew
eral months. The steamships were
seized late last November. and al
though efforts were made by the Amer
ican owners to obtain an early trial
the British authorities set the hear
ing for June. The hearing closed last
month and judgment was reserved un-
til yesterday.
In lengthy judgment Sir Samuel
said 1t was plain these ships were car
rying toward Copenhagen. when cap
tured. more than thirteen times the
amount of goods which under normal
circumstances would have been taken
to that port.
That fact gave practical and over
whelming assurance that the goods
were intended to find their way to
Germany. although, Of course. It did
not prove conclusively that they
were destined for an enemy OF Great
Britain.
The meat cargoes, shipped for the
most part by the great American pack
ing companies and valued by them at
$l5.000,00G. were found by the presi-
dent to be destined. except for some
small items. not for consumption In
Denmark. but for delivery In Germany.
He held that their eventual destina-
tion was the German government. for
the use of its naval and military
forces. To rule otherwise. Sir Sam
uel said. would be to allow ones eyes
to be blinded by theories and techni-
calities.
