THO state Department has not yet

tor II was said that constant requests
for information as to the status OF
German ships purchased by Americans
we're received. II has been suggested
that if the new owners Of the Georgia
contemplated using the vessel IN tor-

seized Dacia confronting them.
Department officials doubt that the
French prize court will decide the
Dacia's case in a manner satisfactory

owner The French law is specific on
the point of the transfer Of an enemy
shin to neutral register after hostill-
ties have commenced, and there seems
i;.tIo bcpo Of ANYTHING other than con-
demnation for the Dacla.
On the other hand, the suggestion
was conveyed to the United States dur
ing the negotiations preceding the sail
inc of the Dacis that if the United
states purchased German internee5C
ships and used them IN the South
American trade Great Britain would
not interfere. To this suggestion
neither France nor Russia has sub
scribed. so that there still remains
risk to the new owners of the Georgia

FRAME CANNERIES'
BILL AMENDMENTS
Sponsors Introduce Changes for
Measure in Senate and
Assembly.

From stan Correspondent q The Tr!bune)
Albany, April l7.-Following a con-
ference to-day between Labor Com
missioner Lynch and representatives
Of the canning interests, amendments
were offered in both houses in the Leg
islature to the thompson ewley sew
enty-two -hour-a-week bill, which has
been withdrawn from the Governor.
The amended bill it is believed, will
meet with no serious opposition from
labor men. It is expected that it will
have little trouble in passing the Sen
ate and Assembly next week, and it
will be approved, as Governor Whit
man has already expressed himself IN
favor Of the proposed changes.
They carry out suggestions made by
Commissioner Lynch, who declares
that while the amendments remove
none Of the safeguards in the present
labor law, they meet the difficulties
which the Gamers frequently suffer in
times Of an oversupply Of fruit and
vegetables.
The amendments provide that when
ever lnele Is an excess OF Ine average
amount Of produce on hand during the
period from June l to November /,
women and male minors over sixteen
years and females over eighteen may
be employed beyond the hours now per
mitted by law, but not more than
twelve consecutive hours In any one
day. and then between the hours of 7
a. m. and 10 p. m, except upon the
express permit Of the Commissioner Of
Labor"
The Commissioner is always to be
notified by telephone or telegraph of
the emergency. This is to be consd-
cred sufficient warrant for the Gamer
to begin the overtime work, but the
Labor Commissioner is later to investi-
gate the situation to see that an actual
emergency existed and that the law was
not evaded. Violation is made a mis-
demeanOr, punishable by a fine of not
less than 500 for the first offence, not
less than 500 for the second offence
and for a third offence not less than
$500 and forfeiture during the bal
ance Of the current year of the right
to exercise the emergency provision OF

for the interests and welfare of the
patrons of his office; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Marion County
Board of Trade, in open meeting,

THE CITY SHOULD

Editor Star: In going to my home
yesterday afternoon in the southern
part of town, after the rain, on
reaching south Tuscawilla street my
passage was INSTRUCTED by perfect
sea of water, which overflowed the
street, sidewalks and adjacent prop
erty. Thinking that possibly it was
not so bad further up, / walked a
block east and tried to cross on San
chez street. To my surprise the water
had accumulated in even larger guam
tity on this street and getting across
on foot was out of the question.

street and walk a good half a mile
out of my way to get home. Why
doesn't the city do something to rem
edy this deplorable condition of af-
fairs in the second ward To my own
knowledge for the last four years
the condition of these streets during
the rainy season has been disgraceful
and constant annoyance to those
who have to paddle through the wa

ROONEY WILL GO
TO TALLAHASSEE

The board of governors of the
Board of Trade will send Secretary
Rooney to Tallahassee to meet with
the state railroad commission when
they have the hearing on the Both, at
which time, unless sufficient reason is
shown by those interested why it
should not be done, the rate on all
road materials in the state will be
raised. The Board of Trade, the city
council, the county commissioners
should all join in this matter and if
they cannot send a separate repre-
sentative to the hearing, should clothe
the secretary with the necessary au-
thority to speak and act for them.
The building of good roads is to be
one of the states greatest works in
the next few years. Transportation
of the road materials is the very es-
sence of the work as with a prohibit
tive freight rate on any of the mater
ials used, the work is greatly handi-
capped and, in many cases, will be
made so expensive as to prevent the
construction of the roads.
Mr.. Rooney will only be sent from
Ocala for two days and it will be
time well spent.

OUR CASE AGAINST ENGLAND

The most complete defense of Great
Britain and her allies in the block
ade of Germany and Austria is COM
prised in the following from the Co
lumbia State:
Things We Must Explain
For the life of US, and with all re-
spect to the legal department of the
department of state, we cannot see
where in the world this country has
a case in the matter of protest against
England's blockade of Germany.
Who first declared the doctrine of
the ultimate destination" as the pre-
text for seizing neutral ships sailing
from neutral port to neutral port?
The United States, in the matter of
English cargoes bound for Nassau
and consigned to neutral factors.
Who extended the terms of the block
ade to include all the waters of all
the Seven Seas on which should be
found ships suspected of bearing
goods for the enemy? The United
States. Who first put in the list of
medicines destined to alleviate the
suffering of the wounded? Again the
United States. How far this matter
of contraband, in particular, was
carried is shown in letter from an
ex-U. S. naval officer, which we quote
in part, concerning the capture by u.
S. S. Fulton of the steamer Banshee,
one of the most valuable prizes of the
war. 1t is Major S. G. Brock, of Ma
con, No., who is speaking. Says he:
"All day and all night the chase
went on, and in the morning we were
almost in firing range. Inch by inch
we gained, and then we tried a shot
across the fugitive's bow. Another
shot, little closer, and she hove to
while we sent out boarding party.
"The prize was the blockade run
ner Banshee, loaded with million
dollars worth of dry goods for the
southern states. The cargo was
mostly mourning stuff for the women
of the south, but it was contraband
under the rules of war and subject to
SclAuEGs
when the Fulton reached New
York harbor with her rich prize every
tugboat and steamer saluted with its
whistle, and the docks were crowded
with people to see the blockade run
ner brought in"
While the crowds cheered, the wo-
men of the Confederacy wept, with
out even the melancholy consolation
of their weeds" yet the weeds We're
contraband of war!
On what sort of grounds, with pre-
cedents like this does the United
States now presume to lecture Eng
land? If England were not too busy
and too sad, she could afford to
laugh!

DEWEY HAS LEASED THE
HARRINGTON DINING ROOM

Mr.. j. r. Dewey, who has conduct
ed the Merchants Cafe so success
fully for the past several years, has
leased the Harring Hall dining room
and lunch room and will take charge
of both Monday morning after break
fast. Mr.. Dewey will be able to
operate the three places to good adj
vantage, saving greatly in many ex-
penses of a separate management,
and in this way, together with his
long experience in restaurant and
hotel work, expects to please the pub
lie, enjoy a liberal patronage and
make a few dollars for himself.
Mr. Dewey will make no changes at
present in the methods of conducting
the new places, except that he will
probably serve a table d'hote dinner
in the Harrington dining room, as he
has done so successfully at the Mer-
chants Cafe. The dining room will
be kept open only at the regular
meal hours, the Harrington lunch
room all day and, for the present, all
night; the Merchants Cafe, as usual,
will never be closed.
Since inaugurating the all-night
service at the Merchants Cafe the
lights have never been turned off or
the key turned in the locks of the
doors and there has never been a
minute, day or night, that one could
not get an appetizing meal-there, and
in quick time, too. Good and prompt
service, excellent food, well prepared,
coupled with moderate prices has Civ
en- Mr.. Dewey a reputation all up and
down the road which he is proud of.
With his two bright sons, Welsh
and Richard and Mr.. Temple, the
night man to assist him, Mr.. Dewey is
we'll able to handle the three places
and to advantage. The Star expects
to see them all flourish and prosper.

HELPING THE BASEBALL CLUB

The act of the Ocala Coca Cola
Bottling Company in donating the
sales of its product on the ground,
the Harrington Hall in making con-
tributions, among the many others
who have assisted should encourage
yet other of our citizens and business
firms to- do something along this line
to aid the baseball boys in their big
task of keeping together the best
baseball nine Ocala has ever had and
to build their new grandstand and
make the other improvements that
are necessary and the repairs that
have to be made each year and all
through the year on and about the
grounds.
Ocala has very few organizations
that are of as much benefit to the
city as the baseball park and club. 1t
can hardly be estimated and should
meet with every encouragement and
a hearty support from the business
people of the city.
