PACKERS SCORE ENGLAND
FOR SEEING SHIPMENTS.
Insist Effort to Keep Americans Out
Of Neutral Ports Is Not
Impartial.

The claim that Great Britain Is inter-
fering with American trade to neutral
ports. while the rest Of the British
naval activities are ineffective as far
as blockade work goes. 10 included in
statement placed before the State De-
partment by attorneys for Chicago
meat packers whose goods have been
seixed by Great Britain.
At the Same time the packers urge
the government to obtain redress for
products and ian opening Of neutral
ports to the Same IF >dom OF trade
which this country enjoyed with those
ports prior 70 the war"
The statement includes the following:
'The se-called blockade order violates
the fundamental principles Of interna-
tional law, namely. that blockade
must be impartial. that 1t must not bar
access to neutral ports and that 1t
must be effective. There is no pre-
tense that the blockade Is effective or
impartial.
American Trade Hampered.
ut is common knowledge that the
commerce Of Sweden. Norway and Dem
mark to German ports is not being and
cannot be interfered with by England's
assumed blockade and that such at
tempted blockade is wholly ineffective
as to such trade: 1t is American trade
to neutral ports that is being interfered
with It is American ports and neutral
ports that are being blockaded."
It is claimed by representatives Of the
packers that none of the shipments was
lawfully subject to seizure under the
British order in council of October 20,
1914, and that seizures under the order
in council of March II, 1915. known as
the blockade order, were unlawful and
an infringement OF the neutral rights
of American citizens"

DENIES MALICE CHARGE
MADE BY BANK COUNSEL
Attorney General Gregory Says De-
partment Was Not Induced" to
Do Anything in Case.

Stung by remarks contained in a
statement made for publication by
Frank J. Hogan Of counsel for the
Riggs National Bank in its litigation
with ofIlcials Of the Treasury Depart
mont Attorney General Gregory last
night issued a statement in which he
denied that the perjury indictments
against three officials Of the Riggs
bank were the result Of malice. The
Attorney General also denied that the
indictments were found because the
Department OF Justice had been in
duced" by any one to obtain them. Mr..
Gregory's statement follows:
MY attention has been called to q
statement appearing in tho morning
papers purporting to have been 81. en-
out by counsel for the Riggs National
Bank in which it IL intimated that the
indictments for perjury recently re-
turned by the grand jury OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia against certain off,
cials Of the bank were inspired by mall
ice. and the charge Is made that the
Department of Justice was induced to
obtain these indictments by the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury and the controller
Of the currency.
II know of no fact which would
jury bore malice toward the indicted
officials or had In mind anything ex-
cept the discharge of its official duty.
nor do believe that any such fact ex-
lists.
The statement that this department
was induced by any one to obtain these
indictments is, of course, without the
slightest foundation. The facts on
which the indictments are predicated
were developed in open court and in
the presence of the district attorney,
and several months thereafter were
presented to the grand Jury for con-
sfderation along with other matters Of
like character and in the usual man.
ner.
These cases will not be tried in the
columns Of the press, but by the duly
constituted legal tribunals and in the
proper way"
When shown the statement issued by
the Attorney General, Mr.. Hogan said:
II have no comment to make of any
kind on tho statement or on anything
contained in It,"

sum Of $1,000 each for Charles C.

It was stated that nothing further Is
expected to happen unil the return to

LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION.

With short session ahead legis-
lative Investigations should be confin-
ed to the minimum. No ends can be
served by splitting both bodies up in
to small inquisitorial committees to
run down political rumors and
charges made on the Hastings.
The Lathrop resolution to investi-
gate the financial affairs of the state
especially as they relate to the oper-
alton of state institutions, is a wise
one. This committee will serve as a
complete check on the board of con-
troll when it considers the fiscal re-
lations of the penal and charitable
institutions.
Senator Martins resolution to Sc.
cure from the tax commission and
the state auditor the cost of placing
property on the assessment rolls
hardly calls for an investigation.
There is nothing hostile in it's terms,
and all that is asked is information
which should be in the tax commits
sion's report. -~...
AS far as can be learned, this in.
formation will be forthcoming, so
there need be no acrimony or delay
in securing the desired data. In fact,
the information asked under Senator
Martins resolution is no more than
any state department will furnish a
member of the legislature upon his
individual request. . ...
The same is true generally of the
Lathrop resolution. It does not pre-
sumo or contemplate an investiga-
ton. 1t merely asks for information
upon which to base future legislative
action. .r .... .......
Both houses have acted favorably
upon this, as they should upon Sen
ator Martins resolution when it
comes before them for consideration.
No one is asking for unfair treat
ment of any state department. Each
one should be accorded the same
courtesy and be given ample oppor-
tunity to demonstrate it's usefulness
if it can.-Bismarck Tribune.
