AMERICAN PACKERS
Continued from Page y

decision OF the British prize court re-
ceived today:
"Not Justified"
"England's confiscation of S2,500,0O0
worth Of American meat products as
announced in the press dispatches to-
day is not justified by the facts on
any principle of international law. 1t
can only be construed as of another
step in England's policy to interfere
with the trade Of American citizens
with the citizens OF neutral countries
All these shipments We're destined to
neutral countries and the ships pa
perS, at the time of their seizure,
clearly showed such fact. They were
not destined to or for the enemy OF
Great Britain, and upon trial of the
case. no evidence showing they were
destined to such enemy of Great Brit
ain was adduced and none could have
been. This makes necessary further
presentation of stronger protests to
the Department of state for an equit-
able adjustment of the claims.
Efforts to Comply
prior to the time of the seizure of
these shipments. every effort was made
to comply with every regulation and re-
striction made by the various orders in
council issued by the government of
Great Britain placed upon such ship
ments. even though such orders were
clearly in violation of the principles of
international law and concerning which
orders our state department notified the
government of Great Britain that this
government would not recognize any
prize court decision based upon orders
in council, or upon any rules or regula-
tons other than the recognized principles
of international law. ndins
the fact of compliance with every order
issued by them, whether reasonable or
otherwise, American goods were seized
and taken into English ports and held
there for many months before oppor-
the prize courts.
Deny British Contention
'1t would appear from the brief dis
patches that the court bases it's right to
seize the shipments on the theory that
the amount of products being shipped
to Denmark in these neutral ships is in
excess of quantities received prior to the
declaration of war. These neutral coun-
tries received large quantities Of these
products through German ports prior to
the war and through other sources of
supply which the war shut off, That
these countries want more of our pro-
ducts than before furnished no justifica-
ton for such seizure"

WARDEN DICK IS
SUED FOR $4,000

McAlester, Okla, Now 15.-Mary
Foster, the Trenton, Mo-, girl who was
wounded in the fight at the Oklahoma
penitentiary when three convicts at
tempted to escape from that institu-
tion January 10, 1914, has filed suit
against Warden R. w. Dick for dam
ages in the sum of $4,000, according
to notice just received by Mr.. Dick.
The suit was filed in the United
States court at Muskogee and until a
copy of the petition has been obtained
details of the allegations are lacking.
Miss Foster was the warden's stem
ographer at the time Of the prison
break. The fugitive convicts took her
and Frank Rice, parole officer, and
used them as living shields against the
bullets of guards, Rice escaped unhurt
but Miss Foster was wounded in the
hip, confining her to local hospital
for several weeks.
Upon petition of McAlester citizens
which was signed also by many citi-
zens of other parts of the state, the
state legislature last winter passed a
bill giving her S4OO with whcih to pay
expenses resulting from her injuries
but the governor vetoed the bill. Con-
siderable sums of money were donated
by private individuals to help prison
suffereds, but most of the money was
used for the widows of prison officers
who were killed.
d. c. Oakes, assistant deputy war
den; f. C. Godfrey, day sergeant, and
II. H. Drover, Bertillion expert, were
the prison officials killed. Judge r.
Thomas of Muskogee was also slain by
the convicts All three of the convicts
