NEUTRALITY BREACH
AMERICAN OFFICERS ASSERT
SEARCH OF U. S. SHIP WAS
NOT A LEGAL ACT.

Washington, D. c., Nov. %. - Off
GERS of the battleship Kentucky at
Progreso, Mexico, have reported that
the American steamer Zeelandia was
one-quarter of mile inside the three
mile limit when recently forcibly
searched by boarding party from 4
British cruiser, and therefore was in
a neutral port, They agree with the
British report. however, that no papers
were aboard the ship to show her ma
tionality but were in the American con-
sulate ashore. The British officers con-
tend the vessel was quarter of mile
outside the three mile limit and there.
fore on the high seas.
The Carranza government already
has protested to Great Britain against
the alleged violation of Mexican neu
trality and the subject probably will
become matter Of diplomatic action
between Great Britain and the United
States.

DEEP IN POLITICS
REPUBLICANS OPPOSE MORE
CHANGES IN PRIMARY ELEc-
TION LAW.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov 22.-Republi-
can members of the legislature, which
met in extraordinary session at noon
today, got together in conferences this
afternoon and practically decided to
block any attempt to open political
fight on the primary law, one of the
subjects mentioned in Governor
Dunne's CALL
All talk of attempting to depose
Speaker Shanahan, as republican lead
er of the house, disappeared today
when the speaker declared in favor of
limiting the business of the session to
appropriation measures only. The
republicans charged that Governor
Dunno wishes to have the legislature
play politics, and they seemed to be al
most unanimously in favor Of short
session with no politics.
Both houses were called to order at
noon, the governors message was read
and both houses recessed until Z
O'Clock tonight. The house republican
steering committee was to meet before
the night session to try to agree upon
plan of expediting the session, and
some members expressed hope that
the session will be able to adjourn in
two or three weeks.
Both republican and democratic
members of the senate plan to hold
conferences this evening. Eighty-seven
of the SO representatives, and seven
teen of the fifty-one senators were
present when the extraordinary ses-
sion was called to order.

j. G. Finnesy Of Rock Island
and w. L. Dykes of the
Burlington Want It
SAY MOVEMENT is THE
BEST YET SUGGESTED
Believe That 1t Will Do
Much to Create a Spirit
Of Cooperation

The proposition to make Ottumwa
the center for big agricultural ex-
position, live stock show and fair is
being given hearty endorsement by
local railroad men. They believe that
Ottumwa is big enough for such an
event and that its natural location as
well as wonderful resources from
which to draw will make the event an
assured success.
Speaking of the movement and bas-
ing his remarks on the conditions sur
rounding the old fairs some twenty
years ago, j. c. Finnesy, general agent
for the Rock Island here, says:
ran specials to and from the fair
grounds and they were full every day,
too Then We always had 800 to 1000
people from Knoxville, Oskaloosa Ev-
ans and the country The road put
in passenger service making the round
trip every hour, twenve hours day,
and ticket Office and telegraph sta
tion were put in for this event.
There was not adequate street car SER
vice then and that is the reason the
railroad handled the crowds in the
way 1t did.
To-day though there has been ma
terial change. We have eberything
to bring people here now that we had
then and lot more, too. 1t Is not
necessary for the roads to handle the
people now because the street railway
company has expanded and Is in a no
sition now to take care Of the people.
This fair movement is the one. thing
which will bring people here. We will
have the largest crowds we have ever
had from radius Of 100 miles around
Ottumwa. I don't believe that there
has been any other thing mentioned
for many years which will advertise
Ottumwa men and their city like this
will. think that it should be held at
a time preceding the Eldon and state
fairs. This would allow the stock to
be shown here first and then go
around the circuit: you know they al
ways say the first Is the best. OF
tumwa's railroad facilities which are
second to none in the state, make it
an ideal place for holding such an
event"
Mighty good thing. Nothing has
been agitated lately that appeals to
me so much as this" says w. l..
Dykes, freight agent for the Burlfng
ton here. 1T is a good thing from the
farmers standpoint and from the city
mans view. Ottumwa is the center
of one Of the richest communities in
this state and there is no reason why
everybody should not know about it.
There is no question about it being a
good thing. It not only advertises OF
tumwa but it gives the whole section
Of the two states boost"

Action Involving Property
Sold BY Davis County

Question Hinges on Who
Gets Proceeds From Sale;
Holiday on Thursday

Judge Seneca Cornell, presiding in
the district court. set aside his regu
lar work today and has been hearing
the arguments In the case Of j. M.
Huston VS.. SnOdgrass brothers and
the Lee County Savings bank VS.. SnOd-
grass brothers.
These actions were heard before the
Ottumwa jurist at the September term
OF court in Bloomfield. The evidence
was not concluded until the last day
OF the session and the arguments were
assigned for hearing here. The cases
are similar and involve the attaching
of some property and the selling Of
the same. Snodgrass brothers, who
own big place in Prairie township,
Davis county, are recognized as among
the leading stockmen in that section.
Property was attached by the plaintiffs
and portion Of it sold by the sheriff
for $5,400 and interest. 1t is now
claimed that the sold goods were
mortgaged. The contention is based
on who shall have the proceeds of the
transaction. Claude Wilson, repre-.
senting Rosenbaum & Co., Chicago
brokers', claims to hold the mortgages.
Sheriff Osa Dunlavy and number OF
i'ooiiiCiu ldWytlS anu one 1GQ OAK
attorney are here for the hearing.
With the conclusion of this case the
trial Of Edgar MetcaIf, charged with
nuisance, will be resumed. This was
begun last Friday but continued until
Tuesday. The criminal assignment
will then follow in regular order this
week with Thursday out for Thanks
giving holiday. Evidence has been

IN the case of A. d. Wilson Va. the
City of Ottumwa. A similar motion
has been submitted In the case Of
Mabel F'ritchle VS.. the Western Union
Co., and another of the same nature
IN the action entitled Grand Opera
House Co., VS.. ]. Frank Jersey ct al.
has been argued and submitted to the
court. William Helleam has been Civ.

REGRETS RECOGNITION.

st, Louis, Mo-, Nov. 22.-The Ameri-
can recognition of the Carranza gov
ernment Of Mexico Is called mot aus
picious," In a letter from Archbishop
Gennon to the Catholic priests of the
archdiocese Of st. Louis, asking them
to celebrate a Thanksgiving mass for
Mexico
The letter says in part:
"In making this, our Thanksgiving
for the blessings we enjoy, we should
remember especially our neighboring
people in Mexico, who have suffered
and who are suffering so much because
of the revolutions which afflict and
continue to afflict that unfortunate
country The revolutionary leaders
and their followers have in turn plum
dered and looted They have destroy
ed the subsistence, and, in many cases,
the lives of the peaceful and lawful
citizens of America, so that today,
while the leaders thrive, the people
starve.
ut is true that the recent recogni-
ton of Carranza, perhaps the worst
of the revolutionaries, is not auspic.
ious; still we cherish the hope that
the government of the United States,
together with the governments Of the
southern republics, who saw fit to give
him recognition, will not now desert
an offending people.
"Our government, founded on JUS
tice and equal rights, should not be
true to it's people or it's traditions If,
now that it has undertaken the recog-
milton of Carranza, it permitted him
to continue a career of injustice and
outrage. Our Catholic people await
the outcome with anxiety and i'm
patience"
Collections will be taken In the
Catholic churches next Thursday for
the benefit of destitute Mexicans.

70 ESTABLISH WAR ZONE.

Saloniki, Nov %. - II Is rumored
here that the entente allies have de-
cided to carry the commercial blockade
to the extent of establishing war
zone around Greece and cutting off all
supplies. Greeks express the hope
that no such drastic action will be
taken.
The Associated Press has learned,
however, that the French authorities
officially made the strongest represen-
tations to the throne respecting the
necessity that Greece give assurances
of more active cooperation with the
allies.
Denys Cochin, French minister with
out portfolio, who has been conferring
with the Greek officially, has gone to
the front.
