RUSSIAN EMBARGO
SETTLEMENT PENDING
Guarantee to Be Offered That Goods
Will Not Be Re-Exported to
Belligerents.

a conference between officials of the
Cnied States and Russia to settle de-
tails of an agreement that will remove
the Russian embargo against exports
to this country has been arranged.
Commercial Attache Medzikhovsky
will meet representatives of the State
and Commerce departments later in the
week to frame a working plan for
proposals accepted by the Russian
government, under which all importa-
lions from Russia will be consigned
to the Secretary Of the Department of
Commerce, to be distributed by him
when he can secure a guarantee. sat
isfactory to the Russian embassy, that
the goods will not be re-exported to
belligerent countries. it is proba BILE
that the details will be arranged and
the plan placed in operation within
two weeks.
The Russian amba ssador in an official
communica ton to the State Depart
ment gave notice that the Russian min
lister of finance had accepted the prin-
ciple of the American proposal and that
the embassy was ready to arrange the
details. A detailed arrangement has
been worked out by the foreign trade
advisers of the state Department and
will be submitted to the Russian rep
reSentatives and to Department of Com
merce officials who will handle the ship
ments.
1t is probable that the Russian rep.
reSentatives will insist that American
importers receiving Russian goods file
with the Department of Commerce a
bond covering the value of the ship
ment. to be held pending the consump-
ton of the imported goods in this coun-
try. Such an arrangement will necessi-
tate a large amount of administrative
work in handling the business. but will
probably be accepted by the State de-
partment officials.

the civil war then are cited to show
that the Supreme Court of the United
States held it had the right to reverse
the decisions of prize courts and that
there was no doubt of the jurisdiction
of an international tribunal to review

United States. where the parties al

If the United States should be dis
satisfied with decisions of British prize
courts as sustained by the privy coun-
Gil, the British government is pre-
pared to concert with the United
States Gin order to decide upon the
best way of applying the prin-
ciple to the situation which would then
have arisen"
To the American note in the case of
the steamer Neches. which summarily
demanded the expeditions release OF

in the British note and to
allow goods from Germany to pass freely
through waters effectively patroLed by
British ships of war;
Great Britain offers. however. to
make a special examination in the
Neches case if hardship has been in
flicted.
The British reply, in short. is a dec
lination to allow free passage to goods
originating in Germany or a territory
under German control. The general
cargo of the Neches originated in Bel

no further attention to the noise.

Sheriff Hardy reached the Clagett

Hardy concluded that the colored In

he had not been on the side of the road
where the house is located since about
8 o'clock Monday night. Footprints
leading across the road. which must
have been made after $50 O'Clock, the
time the rain fell, were made by shoes
similar to those worn by Coates, the
sheriff said.
The prisoner was taken before the
