BRITISH SEIZE

Challenge the Ownership Of
Steamer Hooking.
CASE MAY GO TO PRIZE COURT

Transfer Of Registry From German to
Danish Registry asd Then to United
States Registry 10 Alleged to Have
Been q Blind.
Washington, Nov. 2.-That the nsu-

vessel Hooking 10 to be challenged BY
the British government in the seizure
of the ship by British cruisers
and taken before the British admiralty
court at Halifax, N. g., seems to be
assured
II fs expected the state department
will be requested to ask England for
. release.
Reports that the vessel was being
brought to Halifax in charge Of .
prize crew. was received at the state
department from Consul General
Young at Halifax.
The Hooking was formerly Q Danish
vessel, and was given American regis
try this summer after It's purchase by
the American Transatlantic Steam
ship company. a Arm incorporated In
Delaware.
At the time Of the transfer the de-
partment OF commerce asked the state
department II there were any ob1ec-
tions to the granting Of registration.
The inquiry was made because the o.
ficials had reason to believe that the
transaction was open to challenge. the
charge being made that the ship was
originally German, that the transfer
to Danish registry was merely blind.
The state department held that.
while the vessel might later be re-
quired to prove actual neutral char
aoter, and the validity of transfer OF
registry, there was no grounds in Uni
ted States law for refusing registry,
a. application was made by the Ameri-
can corporation now owning the YES
sells.
That such action would be taken
aRainst the vessels of the company
was surmised here. after England. ten
days ago announced that she had
abrogated the rule of the declaration

acter.
The state department also was ad'
vised that the American ship Llama,

Graft

Public money coming from the taxes OF the people
ought to be spent of course in the best possible way TOR
the benefit of all the people.
Il has sometimes however been hard to find men
honest enough to manage such funds.
When a public official in any way gets money Tor
himself out of the public business beyond his legal salary
il is called graft.
The forms of graft many. An Office holder may
let the contract for bridge or a schoohouse to
friend paying the friend than the construction is
worth and sharing with that friend this surplus money
which is virtually stolen from the people
In many other ways a sharp office holder may
"feather his nest out of the peoples money which
he handles.
The man who does such things is thief; and good
many of the thieves of this kind being caught and
punished. The put down graft the more
easy will be raise for real public improvements
Let us catch and punish the grafters and honor all
honest officials.

Wives and Mothers Still

The advocates OF "votes for women" have been
spending great deal Of money and breath in the at
tempt to have the duties of suffrage imposed upon the
womanhood of several eastern states. Their chief hope
was New Jersey where they brought pressure to bear
to compel several public vote for this measure.
The proposition in New Jersey is defeated by more
than $4,000 majority in other states by still more decisive
votes.
This does not that the women OF New Jersey
