FEELING OF RESENTMENT OVER
BRITISH ATTITUDE GROWING

Page In London. caused bitter irrita-
ton and il is certain that the British
government will be told SO in unmis-
taxable terms.
The United States has positively re-
fused TO recognize the allies right to
proclaim a blockade Of Germany by
indirect methods. Furthermore, this
government has told Great Britain
frankly that it considered its right Of
free and unlimited trade with neutral
countries guaranteed by international
law and existing treaties.
See it Differently.
This view England has declined to
indo-se, and in her latest memorandum
took the position that, inasmuch as
Americas trade with Scandinavian
countries and Holland has greatly in
creased. all OF the increase must Of ne
cessity be diverted into Germany.
It is believed certain that this sug-
sestion will be resented Enthusiastically
in the American note, but even were it
true. it is said it would not change the
situation. The goods are non-contra-
band and their diversion to British
prize courts is declared by legal au-
thorities to be breach of friendship
not permissible under international
law.

LEGAL BATTLE
EXPECTED over
FIGHT FL N s
IN PORTLAND

Portland, Me, June 27.-Awaiting
the result Of a probable legal battle
in the United States District Court of
Maine. the only film in America Of
the Johnson Willard championship
fight at Havana, now lies in the To-
cal Office Of the Canadian Express Co,
having arrived here Saturday morn
ing by way of the Grand Trunk from
Toronto.
1t has been refused legal admission
to this country by Collector of the
Port Willis T. Emmons, and action
against Mr. Emmons was commenced
in the United States District Court
Saturday by the kalisthenic Exhibi-
ton Co. Inc, Of New York, owners
Of the film.
The action taken consisted in the
filing of bill in equity In which the
sue to restrain the collector or his
agents from interfering with the en-
tering Of the film provided that the
duty is paid on il in accordance with
the customs laws.
The company bases its action on the
claim that the acts of Congress which
became law July 81, 1872. and which
were designed TO prevent the importa-
ton into the United States Of any
film or other pictorial representation
of any prize fight or encounter of pu-
gilists under any circumstances what
ever which is designed to be used or
ha nf
exhibition, does not prohibit the bring
ing in of negative, as negatives are
not mentioned in the law.
The company also claims that the
negative is not to be used for public
exhibition. and that the company was
incorporated for the sole purpose of
propagating a taste for physical de-
velopment and that the rights to this
negative in question were secured only
on the ground that it should never be
used for public exhibition. The COM
plainants are willing. they say, to Of
fer a bo1d in any sum the court may
ask, as a guarantee that no positive
will he used for public exhibition in
violation of any law Of the United
States or of any of the separate states
and stipulates that if upon adjudica-
tor il should be determined that this
film comes under the law prohibiting
importation il will be returned TO the
collector and shipped out Of the coun-
try.
Judge Hale upon the filing Of the
bill in equity issued an order to show
cause which is returnable Friday
