CONDEMN U. S. MEAT CARGOES
BRITISH PRIZE COURT DECIDES
AGAINST PACKERS.
Si5,ooo,ooo Loss On cargoes Which
British Claim We're intended
for Germans.

London.-The British prize court
condemned the greater part Of the
American products forming the car
goes Of four steamships. The products,
valued at several millions OF dollars.
are declared forfeited to the crown.
The judgment was delivered by Sir
Samuel T. Evans. president OF the
court 1t involves the cargoes Of the
Norwegian steamships Kim. Alfred No
bel, BJorngtjerne Bjornson and Frid-
land. All the goods on these vessels
consisting principally of the Ameri-
can meat products, are COniiscated,
with the exception of small proper
tion which the court released to claim
ants.
The case has been pending for sew.
eral months. The steamships were
seized last November and although eff
forts were made by the American own.
ers to obtain an early trial the British
coun set the trial for June. The hear
ing closed last month and judgment
was reserved until last week.
In lengthy judgment Sir Samuel
said II was plain these ships were car
rying toward Copenhagen. when cap
tured. more than thirteen times the
amount OF goods which under normal
circumstances would have been taken
to that port. That fact gave practi.
cal and overwhelming assurances that
the goods we're intended to find their
way to Germany although of course il
did not prove conclusiyely that they
were destined for an enemy of Great
Britain.
One circumstance throwing light on
the real destination OF the goods Sir
Samuel said, was that the expectation
OF lard by one American company alone
to Copenhagen in three weeks after the
outbssak OF the war was twenty times
more than in periods of peace As to
tins OF canned meat he said, II had not
been shown they had been sent to Den
mark In any great quantity before the
war, yet hundreds o. thousands were
on the way when the vessels were cap
tured. These tins. II seemed. could
not have been meant for any persons
other than German soldiers.
