Even while Tom Shevlin. at his home
in Minneapolis. was bucking the foe
he could not down, his features were
being transferred to canvas in this
city, for the inspiration of future
heroes Of the gridiron. Francis Sui
livan, portrait painter, was about TO
take up his work on recently started

morning when a telegram informed him
Of Shevln's death.

Sixty-seventh Street. just after the

him to paint his fathers picture. i
was also planned that he should paint
Shevlin's five-year- old daughter

British Seek Securities
Germans Send Here
for Sale.

IFr0m Inc lflNuitf h-tNaN'I
Washington. Dec 29-The recent sc-
ton of the British authorities IN
searching mails bound for the United
States is an effort to seize securities
belonging to Belgians and French con-
fscated by the Germans and sent to
this country for sale, according to prI-
vate dispatches reaching Washington
to-day. This is the first explanation
offered for this new policy. which is IN
violation of international law and has
aroused considerable criticism.
II had been known for some time
that large quantities of securities oe--
longing TO Allied individuals and
banks had been seized by the Germans
but little attention was paid to the
fact. as il was not seen how they could
benefit their holders. However, II
means have been found to send such
securities to this country for sale, the
matter takes very different aspect, as
thew would be beyond hope of restitu-
tion at the close Of the war and might
furnish the means for financing the
German propaganda here.
Great sums are known to have been
spent on this propaganda. and even the
legitimate efforts TO arouse public sen
timent favorable 70 Germany have cost
a considerable amount. Part Of this
has come from German sympathizers in
this country but the German govern
ment has been accused of supplying the
bulk of the funds, and would be able
TO make profitable use Of many millions
if they could be supplied through the
sale of Allied property.
The State Department has received
no official statement as 70 the action
of the British authorities. and refuses
TO say what course will be taken. II
is understood however, that If the re-
ports are verified protest will be

Yale Men Pay Tribute
to Athlete and Friend

New Haven, Dec. 29.-ln Yale, after
the hrst shock OF surprise over the
death Of Tom Shevlin for he was
known only as Tom to Yale and New
Haven-there were expressions Of re-
gret on every hand.
In university circles he was regarded
a. probably best deserving the title Of
Yale's greatest all round athlete. He
won his "Y" on three teams-track,
football and baseball. Only one other
man has accomplished that feat. He
played on the eleven for four conseeu-
tive years, and only half dozen foot
ball men have succeeded in making such
a record. Twice he responded TO
emergency caiis 20 be head coach, and
both times produced a team when de-
feated Princeton.

Buchanan viii Fight
Arrest in Plot Case

WASHINGTON. Dec. %. Represen-
tative Frank Buchanan. of Illinois. who
was indicted by the New York Federal
grand Jury on the charge Of conspiracy
tC foment strikes in munition plants,
declared to-day that he would stand
on his rights as member OF Con
gress and resist arrest. He has OBJ
tqined legal advice on this, he said,
and considered his protection from ar
rest as long as Congress remains In
session is absolutely provided for by
the Constitution.
Back Of the attack on him. he said,
we're the manufacturers of war NUM-
tions. fighting him because he was
opposed 20 war and also because he
insisted in Congress that the govern
uent should manufacture munitions
for the army and navy. Mr. Buchanan
declared that The indictment against
him was a frame up lie said tnat
reither as member Of Labor's Peace
Council nor AS an individual had he
had ANYTHING TO do with fomenting
strikes.
There is some doubt among lawyers
I'M Washington as to whether hr.
Buchanan's alleged immunity from ar
rest will mold water. The Constitution
says that a member OF Congress, dur
irp a session. can be arrested only on a
charge Of felony, breach Of the peace
or high treason. The charge under the
Sherman Antitrust law is misde-
meanor and Mr.. Buchanan holds that
ne is exempt from arrest on such a
charge. Lawyers here declare, how
ever, that there are precedents for
arresting Congressman which in
dicate that he can be arrested for any
iudictable offence. The question Will
probably be decided when an attempt
: made TO arrest Mr Buchanan.
II am more interested in carrying
on my light here against the manner
ir which the District Attorneys Office
is being conducted in New York than !
am in this indictment, which means
nothing 70 me-" said Mr.. Buchanan.

Dutch Protest to Britain on

London, Dec. 29.-The Dutch gov

British government against British IN

boats. The protest contains no sugges-
ton about British examination Of mails
outside the three-mile limit. nor does Il
question the right 70 do so in British

remains that Dutch liners are required

AIN a matter which touches so many
ingrained prejudices the government
may be expected TO move warily. The

possible the measure will not apply TO

"The case Of Ireland is exceptional,
sirce registration there has only been
carried out IN a partial manner, and
there has been no attestation there
under the Derby group system.
"The Cabinet will do its utmost 20

"The Pail Mall Gazette" believes that
the proposal which most commends il
self is a bill providing that every ur

who has not already enrolled under
the Derby group system shall do 50
