BR| TAIN INSISTS
SHE HAS RIGHT
OF SEARCH
Cerlification Does Not Proven
Transference at Sea
SMUGGLING WOULD Be EASY
Foreign Office and English Public
Regard Americas Attitude with
Favor.

London, Jan. although the for.
eign Office regards with high favor
the American governments plan OF
certifying cargoes loaded under the
direction of officials of the treasury
department and destined for Europ,
can ports, it was said today that Eng
land cannot accept such certification
as an absolute guaranty of the nature
of the cargo in case any cause for
suspicion arises after a vessel leaves
America.
In other words. the right of search
cannot be waived, because of the pos,
sibility of shifting cargoes at sea and
of the impossibility of having the
treasury officer who issues the certifi-
cate accompany the ship to her desti-
nation to guard against smugglers
who may carry copper or other CON
trabrand to be transferred at sea.
The waving of the right to search
ships bearing contrabrand cargoes, in
the opinion of sevearl prominent Brit.
ish officials, would be an invitation f,.r
smugglers to ply their trade, whereas
the retention of the right would tend
to prevent dishonesty.
The government is constantly in
communication with representatives
of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Hol
land. 1t is reported that all OF these
nations are salKing steps to revise
their lists of prohibited exports so
that they will correspond with the
British contrabrand list. thus making
possible a resumption of shipping TO
neutral European countries without
delays or the danger of seizure.
A decidedly favorable impression
has been produced here by the Ameri-
can certification plan. British offic-
ials regard ii as a further manifestat-
ion of the desire of the American gov
ernment to hasten a satisfactory set
tlement of the differences concerning
the delay and seizure of American
According to the failure of the Lon

FALSE VAULE ON BIBLES
Importer Arrested for Undertaking.
Sacred Works

New York, Jan. Enlarged with de-
frauding the government Of customs
duties by placing a false value on
$4,000 worth of Bibles, prayer books
and hymnals imported by him. Fer
dinand Wildermann, head of the firm
of C. Wildermann a. Co., of SO Bare
lay street, was held in $4,000 bail yes
terday by Judge William H, Pope in
the United States District Court.
The keen competition in the sale of
Bibles has reduced their price to such
low figure that Wildermann is said
to have resorted to differentiation to
make little higher profit on his
sales
Assistant United States Attorney
Harold Harper has also brought civ
II suit against Wildermann to recover
from him the full value of the Bibles,
plus the duty on them.

BAR ASSOCIATION
FOR ELECTION
OF JUSTICES
Adopts Resolutions Endorsing
Opinion Of Judge ROweII
ATTORNEYS VOTE 10 TO 1s
Former Chief Justice Admits Advis-
ing Governor But Has Changer
His Mind.

Montpelier. Jan. .5-By the conclus
i've vote of 70 to 1S, the Vermont State
Bar association, at the opening ses.
sion of its 37th annual meeting here
this afternoon In the Washington
county court room, adopted resolu-
ton endorsing an opinion on the Judi
ciary situation presented by the pres
ident of the association Chief Justice
John Rowell of the supreme court,
who admits he advised the governor
mind. The opinion and resolution
which will be submitted to the legisla
ture. was read to the association by
w. b. c. Stickney. Alexander Dun
nett of st. Johnsbury voiced an OBJ.
lection against the adoption.
Preceding the reading of the opin-
ion, Mr.. Stickney explained that ii
was at the request OF certain individ
uals and not the association as an or
ganization that President Rowell ex-
pressed his views upon the subject OF
the election of the supreme court as
affected by the amendment to the con-
stitution. The opinion in brief is as
follows:
That the supreme court should be
organized as a body continually and
elected every two years. one court to
succeed the preceding one instantly,
but that the constitutional amend
ment enacted at the 1912 session left
period between the expiration Of the
term of office of the members of the
court and the time when the Legisla-
ture would convene TO select members
to succeed in Office. Thus two stat
utes are acting directly opposite in idea
but solution is offered. namely. for
the Legislature as soon as possible
after it convenes to elect the members
of the judiciary to act for the next
two years, thus again establishing
the continuity of the court, as is the
intention of the statutes.

| Petrograd, Jan. Cit was officiall,
announced yesterday that the Russian

at Sari Kamysh The entire 9th army
corps of the Turks was captured. The
| following report received from the
Russian headquarters in the Caucas
us, was made public at Petrograd last
night:
Last night our troops won a com
plete victory over the Turks at Sari
Kamysh. We have beaten two Turk
ish army corps and made the entire
9th Turkish army corps, including its
commander and three division com
manders, prisoners.
Small bodies of Turkish troops.
which succeeded in escaping, were
vigorously pursued and destroyed We
continue pursuit of the other parts OF
the Turkish forces, which are in full
retreat
A dispach to Reuters telegram
company of London from Petrograd
says: Accounts received here of
the Turkish defeat at Sari kamysh
say that the Turks displayed great
bravery when their position was seri-
ously threatened, and made frequent
desperate bayonet sorties. When
they were compelled to vacate they
made valiant but futile efforts to COW
er their retreat by rear guard ac-
ton, even the wounded continuing
firing from the ground when they
were struck down.
According to telegram from Tiff
is. the persistence with which the
Turks pressed their attack in the
Sari Kamysh district was due to
their purpose to enable their troops
in the Ardahan region to retire with
out heavy losses. Their oerations
were conducted under tremendous diff
ficulties. They lacked proper equip
ment and had no transport trains.
Nofthward of Kars the Turkish force
at Ardahan also is threatened with
disaster The enemy in his disorder
ly fight has been almost surrounded
by the Russians, who hold the main
roads The Turks frantically are
striving to find an outlet, but have to
face passes deep in snow. The Rus
slams have attacked Ardahan on two
sides, their artillery playing promi
nent part
A dispatch to the Petrograd Bourse
Gazette from Tifiis says that the Rus
SLAMS have taken Izzet Pasha, former
Turkish war minister, prisoner.
