FEDERAL BUILDING WILL
Be FINER THAN PLANNED

Though the bid for constructing the
Pendleton federal building was Ss4,-
SST, J. S. Winter of Portland, who was
declared low bidder and to whom the
contract was let, will get approxi-
mately 100000 out of the contract
Having plenty of funds on hand
above the contract price, the officials
at Washington substituted better ma
terials for finishing the building than
We're called for in the plans and are
allowing Mr., Winter additional sums
bringing the total price up to S99,-
5S7.
This was revealed in copy OF a
letter to Mr.. Winter from the depart.
ment Of the treasury received BY POST
master Tweedy this morning. For
substituting Boise sandstone for the
brick facings on the lower story. for
the terra Gotta on certain parts of the
building and for wood on the cornice
and friese, Mr.. Winter win be allow
ed an additional $500. The drive
way will be built Of concrete instead
of macadam as first planned and this
calls for extra money. Another
change will result in marble being
used for the wainscot. in the public
library and the lobby stairs will have
marble base, These substltutlons
together with change in the specltl.
cations so that the elevator shaft will
be enclosed with castiron and wired
glass will cost about $4,000 extra. An
other large item results from the
change to finish the court room with
a furred ornamental ceiling and pan
eled walls. Altogether, the building
will be much finer in finish than
planned at first.
Postmaster Tweedy expects Mr..
Winter to arrive within few days
to begin work on excavatlng. He is
allowed IS months for completing his
contract but Mr.. Tweedy believes he
will complete it long before the ex-
piration of that time limit.

DEAD FISH NOT VICTIMS
OF CYANIDE IS BELIEF

That no cyanide has been used re-
Gently at the Pendleton Roller Mills
and consequently the dead fish in the
river could not have been killed in
that manner as charged by Deputy
Game Warden Pruitt is declared by
H. G. Blydensteln, manager of the
mill.
I'VE have not used cyanide for
long time" says the manager so It
is impossible the fish were killed in
that way. / am going to thoroughly
investigate the matter and If the mill
is responsible for killing the fish we
will correct the trouble. 1t is impos-
sible for fish to get to the mill from
the mil race because it Is screened
at the forebay Whether fish come
up from the tail race do not know"

FRYE CASE NOT YET SETTLED.
Germany Denies Sinking of Ship in
Violation International Law.

Washington Aug. 4.-Germany is
unyielding in her refusal TO coucede
that the sinking Of the American ship
William p. Frye by the auxiliary
cruiser Prinz Elite Friedrich in the
South Atlantic last January was q
violation Of American rights under
the PrusSanAmeriCan treaty or in
ternational law.
In reply to the last American repre-
senatiOns the German foreign office,
in note made public here tonight,
reiterates previous justification Of
Germany's course reiterates her will
ingncss to pay for the ship and ac-
cepts proposal first advanced by the
United States-that the amount of
damages be fixed by two experts, one
TO be selected by each country.
Arbitration Suggested.
Such a sum the German govern
ment pledges itself to pay promptly,
with the stipulation, however. that
the payment shall not be viewed as a
satisfaction for violation Of American
rights Should that method De up-
satisfactory Germany invites 5hu Uul.
ted Siatcs TO arbitration a, The
Hague.
The unofficial view here Is that
reparation by commission Of exeprts
probably will be satisfactory to the
JTniinI u,ifl ha
vision, however, that it is not a wal
YER of treaty rights for which the
United States contends, but applies
only to the matter Of damages.
1t is virtually certain that if tho
United States allows the dispute to
go to The Hague for Interpretation
OF the treaty provision or continues
'he academic discussion Of principles
through the channel Of diplomacy, it
will insist that meanwhile, Germany
refrain from violation OF what the
United States contends are it's rights.
Rcvolvcs About Old Treaty.
The entire dispute revolves about
the treaty Of 1928, which the United
States contends specifically protected
the William p. Frye from being sunk,
although it did not protect contra
band cargo. Germany takes an oppo-
site view, holding that the article
only obligates her to pay damages.
Furthermore, Germany replies
that as the Frye's wheat cargo was
contraband, the ship was liable to
confiscation, and that, as an attempt
to take the prize into a German port
would have imperilled her captor. the
destruction Of the Frye was accord
ing to general principles Of interna-
tional law"
Argues for German View.
The note argues at length for the
German Interpretation Of the disput-
ed treaty provision.
con the one hand" says the note,
"thc belligerent party is 10 have the
right to prevent the transportation OF
war supplies to his adversaries, even
when carried on vessels Of the neu-
trail party; on the other hand, the
commerce and navigation Of the neu-
trail party is to be interfered with as
little as possible by the measures nee
essary for such prevention, and reas-
enable compensation is to be paid for
any Inconvenience or damage which
may nevertheless ensue from the pro-
ceeding of the belli8erent party"
The case Of the American steamer
Leelanaw, recently sunk by German
submarine, Is parallel to the Frye
case. 1t now IS in tre preliminary
stages Of diplomatic negotiation.

they reached the neutral ports from
which they were TO be re-exported

upon the United States the necessity
OF testing some Of the old rules are
somewhat akin to those with which
the allies are now facing in dealing
with the trade of their enemy. Ad-
| iaCent TO Germany are various neu-
| tral countries which afford her con-
venient opportunities for carrying on
her trade with foreign countries. Her
own territories are covered by a
network Of railways and waterways,
which enable her commerce to pass
as conveniently through ports in such
neutral countries as through her own.
"A blockade limited to enemy
ports would leave open routes by
which every kind of German COM
merce could pass almost as easily as
through the ports of her own terri
tory.
Rotterdam is indeed the nearest
outlet for some Of the industrial dis
tricts Of Germany. 1t seems ac-
cordingiy, that if it be recognized
appropriate method of intercepting
the trade of an enemy country, and
if the blockade can only become ef-
fective by extending it to enemy
| commerce passing through neutral
ports, such an extension is defensi-
bic and in accordance with principles
which have met with general accept
ance."
The note then refers 10 the case of
the British ship Springbok, seized
! by United States cruisers during the
! Civil War while bound for the Brit
| ish West Indies, because her cargo, it
was charged, was to be trans-shipped
to the Confederate States. The Su-
preme Court Of the United States
sustained the seizure against the con-
demnation of a group of prominent
! international lawyers, although the
! United States and British govern
ments took the broader view and
! recognized the development Of the
older method of blockade. No pro-
! test was made by Great Britain.

arise in regard to the measures re-
sorted to for the purpose OF carrying
out & blockade upon these extended
lines is whether, to use your excel
lency's words, they conform to the
spirit and principles Of the essence
of the rules of war, and we shall be
content to apply this test TO the ac-
tiOn which we have taken insofar as
it has necessitated interference with
neutral commerce."
Sir Edward Grey then refers to the
American Civil War blockade of g.
600 miles Of coast with small num-
Der of vessels, and recalls how the
United States finally took recourse to
blockading "neighboring neutral ter
ritOry which afforded convenient CEN
ters from which rontraband could be
introduced into Confederate territory
and from which blockade running
could be facilitated"
"Your excellency will no doubt re-
member" wrote Sir Edward, chow,
in order to meet this new difficulty,
the old principles relating to contra
band and blockade were developed
and thc doctrine Of continuous voy-
age was applied and enforced, under
which goods destined for the enemy
territory were intercepted before
