 Through some oversight, no entry appeared on the police Plotter, and the prisoners were not docketed in the city court though they had been placed in the prison pen.
 When the Stamford officer an- nounced that he had come for his prisoners there was amazement on all theofdcials' faces. Search of the building, however, resulted in their being located in the courtroom

CUP TO GERMANY
 IS BRITISH VIEW

London, June 12-The Evening Standard today in an editorial article on the American note says:
 ''The first note submitted a point of view; the second demands assur- ances that this point of view will be accepted. By putting forward this definite demand the United States has irrevocably committed itself. Re- fusa1 on the part of the German gov ernment-and the language of the German press makes it difficult to believe in, the possibility of anything but 8 refusal-can no longer be ac- cepted with sorrowfuI acquiescence. The United States is pledged to ac- ton of some sort, though by no means warlike actions. It/aH depends on the Germans
 Continuing, the Standard argues that the Germans, now that thelr food supplies have been proved am pie, can afford to suspend the sub marine blockade.
 'HThis is the line President Wilson evidently is anxious for them to take the Standard says. ''but as we have said we do not believe German opin- ion, public or private, is in a mood to take it."

dispose of her hens in her own way.

her confederate in crime could scale the

her. Last summer the same number of
hens were stolen from the same roOst
