No limit Is set on the duration of
the embargo, which is attributed to
the congestion of loaded freight cars
in the yards on the Atlantic seaboard
Notice of the embargo was served
on the connecting lines by the two
roads some time ago. The Pennsyl-

freight from connecting lines, which
is destined for points east of Pitts,

City Attorney Sees Technical
Point in Compensation Act
Which Bars City Officials
From Benefits.
TERMS OF STATUTE
ARE STILL VAGUE
Bond Stands Out For Amend
ment to Define Status of
Municipal Officers Specifi-
cally.

City Attorney Bond states that It Is
doubtful If the mayor, members of the
board Of public works, controller,
building inspector and other municipal
administrative officers, even members
OF the fire department, come within
the provisions of the workmen's COM
pensation law.
This opinion has been given by the
city attorney after his examination of
the compensation law in connection
with the case growing out Of the muir
der of two Richmond police officers
last July. The Industrial board this
week ruled that the widows of the two
police officers were not entitled to
receive compensation benefits from
the city under the terms of the law.
The board ruled that the two patrol
men were public officers and not en-
ployes of the city.
Question Remains Open.
City Attorney Bond states that there
is question as to whether municipal
administrative officers and members
Of the fire department would not be
classified, under the compensation
law. as public officers rather than
municipal employees
Mr.. Bond believes that the work.
mems compensation law should so be
amended as to define clearly the
status Of every municipal officer.

at the Boston Conservatory which
hitherto has not been attained. He IS
the first student to receive the special
certificate given for work of the most
meritorious kind This certificate is
given for work done in three years.
Howard did the required work in
two and one-half years, and besides
has the distinction of being the first
student to merit the awarding of the
certificate.
Howard has been working night and
day to put his way through school.
Under the stress of playing every

HOLLAND IN PACT

Amsterdam dispatch to the Times says
that the Berlin Vossische Zeitung an
nounces that an agreement has been
reached between Holland and Germany
regarding the expectation Of foodstuffs
identical to that existing between Hol-
land and England. The Amsterdam
correspondent of the vossiche Zeitung
says that it is really, II not technically
an agreement between Germany and
England whereby both may obtain
food from Holland.
The Times correspondent interprets
this as meaning that dutch ships car
rying food to England will not be mo-

that the chief significance of the vic

of Entente assertions that Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg's expresses
willingness to make peace is dictated
by Germany's weakness.
The newspaper argues that the
present moment is especially suited to
further efforts for peace, as the Teu-
tonic conquests in Roumania make
further Entente talk about Germany's
weakness ridiculous.
