BRITAIN DECIDES
AGAINST FORMAL
BLOCKADE OF FOE
Sir Edward Grey Triumphs
Over Proponents of
Drastic Policy
STILL BURNING ISSUE

LONDON Jan 27.
British leaders who have opposed the
establishment Of a blockade because of
the effect it would have on neutral ma
tions expressed high approval today of
the action Of the Government in staving
off any action that might have further
alienatcd the sympathcs Of non-bellger-
cnts.
Sir Edward Grcy's speech has appar-
entity won a triumph for his policy, and
it is declared that the question of block
ade is for the time being at least relegated
to tho background.
Tho criticism that has recently been
levclcd at the Foreign Secretary, Sir Ed
ward Grey. was noticeably lessened today
as Il result Of the mastery way in which
he handled the blockade issue for the
Government
The antigovcrnment press, headed by the
NorthClinc papers, says that "for the
time being consideration of the inter-
csts of neutral nations has again defeated
the measure that was needed to make
Britain q sure winner In the war" The
Opposition newspapers condemn Sir Ed
ward Grey in sharp editorial uttcranccs.
with the matter left Just where 1t was
when a. s. Bcnn, tnionist member,
his blockade resolution and
Sir Edward Grey stated the Governments
position. the blockade question will re-
main a burning issue.

Charges State Farmers With Doing
Much to Drive Feathered Tribe Away

Kalbfus, secretary of the State Game

EFFORT TO HURRY CASE

Discrepancy in the valuation OF the
Philadelphia Electric Compnny's proper
ty. as made 10y the compnny's expert wit
nesscs, was the outstanding feature today
of the continued hearing before the Pub
lie Service Commission Of charges by for
mer Director Cooke and others that the
companys rates for inadequate service
are exorbitant
An entirely new estimate OF the pres
I Ont fair valuation" OF the property was
! offered today by T.. b. II. Paine, OF New
| York, an engineer and financial expert.
| giving direct testimony for the company.
! He placed the valuation between S'9COJ,0O
| and G0.OOOOCO.
| This brought a query from Commits
( siuncr John Monaghan, why discrcp-
/ ancy existed between this figure and
| the figure estimated by Prof. Dugnld 6.
/ Jackson the cOmpany's appraisal OK
! pert, who recently testified that after
/ Is months Of appraisal he valued the
property at about S5lOOO.cO) The Paine
estimate also is about l25 per cent greater
than the 'actual valuation made by MIR.
Cooke
"Whcrcin does this discrepancy of
S19,OOOOOO or 80 cXist?" asked the commits
siouer.
SURPRISED At DISCREPANCY
After several futile attempts to learn
where the difference lay, Commissioner
Monaghan commented:
There is such great discrepancy that
1t tends to make both figures valuelcss.
81 see you give fun valuation to $2S,
100000 of certificates and stock which were
included in the original corporation fig
urc," he added. "n consideration of the
fact that this company was organized
about 20 years ago and of the attending
circumstances, do you not think that we
can we'll assume that 100 cents on the
dollar was not actually paid in?'
Yes" replied Mr. Paine.
EFFORT TO HASTEN HEARING.
Efforts to hasten the completion of the
hearing were made by Commissioner
Monaghan, who inquired what had he
come of the committee appointed six
weeks ago, representing the complainants,
the defendant and the commission. to
estimate the original cost of the COM
pany'S property
"Thc report was to be made today" he
said. "Whcrc is it? | want all this phase
of the hearing settled by next Thurs
day"
General Frederick w. Flcit2, chief
counsel for the company, dsclaimed any
responsibility for the delay. After con-
ference the counsel for the complainants
and defendant were instructed to consult
with their accountants and engineers who
are to present the report.

COTTON CLOTHS SLACK;
MILLS MAINTAIN RATES
Buyers Well Covered-Attempts
TO Pare Prices Fail.

Fall River, May 2s.-Small business
was done IN the cotton goods markets
last week because OF the easing up in
cotton and the fact that most buyers are
covered for few weeks 70 come. Some
buyers hunted for soft spots in the
market hoping 10 find some mills which
would be wiling 10 concede something
TO do business. but when lower bids
were offered, manufacturers ignored
them.
Millmen can afford TO wait several
weeks before conducting vigorous eff
forts TO get new business. because
manufacturers have booked contracts
which will keep their machinery en-
gagged we'll into the summer, and il is
generally believed that within a few
weeks buyers vii resume purchasing
and market conditions will again be-
come normal. Few mills have accumu-
lations Of any size, and although mills
may pile up goods during this COM
parative quiet, it will only take a very
moderate demand TO reduce this sur
plus. II may happen that premium
prices will be paid for spot deliveries.
The demand last week was largely
for the wider styles, although the mar
row end of the market was not ne
elected. Prices on some narrow styles
are held nominal because the volume
Of business is hardly noticeable, COM
pared with the amount done in other
styles. There is very little change in
the fine goods situation. Mills making
high count yarn goods declare that
busiess Is very good and they can af-
ford 10 wait several weeks before con-
sidering additional business. Cotton
yarns have been in fair demand, es-
pecially weaving yarns. The week
closed with the demand rather light but
prices well maintained. The total sales
will probably reach $4,000 pieces. The
