two persons who had been acting sus-

Bring Admiralty Proceeding
Under Prize Laws to Re-

PAPERS SERVED ON

To Board Ship.
az ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Attorneys
for the British owners of the liner
Appam, at Newport News, as the
prize Of German crew have brought
an admiralty proceeding under the
prize laws to regain possession of the
ship.
The state department holds that UNI
der the Prussian-American treaty the
liner belongs to the Germans as a
prize, at least until prize court
passes on the legality of her capture.
The British embassy has contended
the ship should be returned to her
owners under a provision of The
Hague convention.
Collector Hamilton at Norfolk re
ported to the treasury department
that representative of the United
States marshal's office had appeared
there today with a federal courtwrit
to serve on the Appam. The marshal
had chartered a tug, Mr.. Hamilton
said, and with thirty deputies on
board left. Norfolk to serve the writ.
Collector Hamilton said he made no
attempt to stop him, and received in
structions from Assistant Attorney
Peters of the treasury not to interfere
in any way. Mr.. Hamilton did not
know why the marshal needed so
many deputies.
1t is considered probable that the
case viii be bitterly contested and
that the supreme court will finally
have to pass upon it.
Such proceedings might not be set
tied for several years.
GLAD OF PROCEEDINGS.
The state department officials to-
night welcomed a prize court decision
on the libel suit instituted today by
the British owners of the steamer APP
pam to recover her from the German
prize crew, as means of clearing up
perplexing problems which confronted
them in their dealing with the case.
Although the department favored the
view that ship may be held in an
American port as German prize I'M
der the Prussian treaty of 1928, over
the English contention that the ship
be restored to the owners under The
Hague convention, no formal ruling
was issued. Now the department viii
wait until the court has acted.
