LONDON, Sept. 16.-vaiuabie n
goes on several ships, bound
America to Copenhagen were - !
by the admiralty prize court a
Judgment handed down today . de-
livering tho Judgment rof tb = rize
court, Sir Samuel Evans cha that
4 number OF American ships had
attempted to evade The British block
ade Of Germany through false mani
tests and warned thcm that their acts
would weigh heavily against them IN
the future"
Sir Samuel said that 1t was very
plain that portions Of some Sargoes
consigned by American shippers to
Copenhagen were intended for Ger
many. He specified In particular car
goes Of timed meats and rubber
found aboard the ships brought into
EneIish harbors while enroute to Cop
enhapen.
All the earqoes were confiseated ex-
eept small portions which the claim
ants proved were consigned to neu-
tion. The cases disposed Of today
were those Of the Norwegian steam
ers Kim, Alfred Hobei and BIornht-
jarne BIornson, and the Swedish
steamer FridIand, al! bound to copen-
hagen and America.
One American concern, Sir Samuel
said, in less than a month after the
war started, shipped to Copenhagen
twenty times 40 much lard 40 It had
shipped In. periods Of peace. II was
unreasonable TO suppose, he said, that
ali this lard was to be used In Den
mark. An American packing firm, he
said, shipped enormous quantities OF
timed meats to Copenhagen though
Il had had no such market before the
war. In both instances, he declared,
IL was evident that Germany wsH the
ultimate destination.
Among the claims allowed by the
prize court was one flied by cudahy
company Of Chicago. Claims Of other
American packers, including Swift.
Armour. Morris and sulxberger. were
dlsailewsd. ~
