The American ambassador sum-
moned Curtin and demanded his pass
port. which Curtin was obliged to give
up.
The ambassador takes the position
that the passport was obtained on
false representation to the state de-
partner when Curtin, in order to get
it, said that the purpose of his trip
was to write articles for America,
while he actually acted as an invest1-
gator for the Northcliffe press.
Curtin intends to remain in London
several months, so he said last night,
writing articles and giving lectures.
His only comment on the taking away
of his passport was that it expired
some time ago anyway, and he did
write articles for American magazines
besides the Northcliffe newspapers.
Curtin is the twelfth American to
have his passport taken away in Lon
don since the war began. The others,
all of whom were deported, were Jack
Johnson, Tod Sloan, Jack G. Mason,
accused of gambling; Charles Miller,
Llewellyn Grifiths, Frank Quinn, and
five Sim Fein sympathizers, who were

BUSINESS WRECKED
BY RUBBER fraud
Importer Wants $4,000 Damages
for Going on Blacklist

New York, Nov 17.-Leon P. Main
city, an importer Of dried fruits, who
is of Italian descent, filed suit in the
ssupremef court yesterday to recover
$4,000 damages from George Philip
Neider, a German export merchant OF
20 Broadway, because, he charges.
Neider induced him to ship what he
believed was $50 bags of coffee to
Norway last March. The bags con-
tanned only a small amount of coffee
and a large amount of rubber, which
was contraband.
- The British boarding officers found
the rubber in the coffee sacks and
Mainetty was placed on the British
BLACKLIST" He charges that Neider
wilfully deceived him and asks the
damages for the loss of his business,
and also wants $170 already spent by
him in an unsuccessful effort to have
his name removed from the black
list.
In his complaint, filed by Breed,
Abbott & Morgan, Mainetty says that
Ms chief business has been between
the United States and France, Spain,
and Italy, and that prior to the
wrongful act" of the defendant he
conducted business almost entirely by
mentioned. The com plant sets forth
facts concerning the present war and
the alignment of the various countries
involved and asserts that Norway Is
Va neutral country, and that CONTRA
band of war being shipped from vari-
Gus countries to aid the armed forces
of Germany had usually been sent to
Norway.
The complaint adds that rubber is
useful for war and that the British
government treated all shipments of
rubber found on steamers bound for
Norway as contra band, and not only
seized the rubber, but placed the ship
pers on the blacklist as persons
TRADING with the enemy" The re-
suit of such action by the British
government was to deny the shippers
the use of the cables, and such action
by Great Britain was followed by
similar action by France.
~ Mainetty alleges that last Febru-
airy Neider represented that he had
250 bags of coffee, shipped here from
Guatemala, which he wished sent to
Christiania, Norway, and said that the
Norwegian american line refused to
accept a shipment from him because
he bore a German name. He asked
the plaintiff to sign the export declara-
ton and Mainetty did SO. '
He alleges that the defendants rep
presentations were false and that
Neider knew that the alleged coffee
shipments consisted largely Of rubber |
The consignment was shipped on the |
steamer Lygenfjord of the Norwegian |
American line on March Is last. and |
was discovered and seized by British |
boarding officers.
Mainetty says he has been unable to !
collect money due him in France, |
Spain, and Italy, and cannot keep in
touch with the dried fruit market,
which f1uctuates constantly. He has
done no business since he was black
listed, he says, although for four
years before that time he made $1,000
a year.

LOSES HIS PASSPORT.
Boston Newspaperman Went to Ger
many for Northcliffe Papers.

London, Nov. I'D Thomas Cur
tin, newspaperman of Boston, now
with the Northcliffe papers here, was
' deprived today of his American pass
port by Am bassador Page.
Curtin is accused Of violating his
passport in going to Germany in
November, 1915, ostensibly as a rep
resentative of American magazines,
but chiefly as a representative of the
Northcliffe papers.
In the latter capacity he obtained
information which he has used in a
series of articles published here. In
one of his articles Curtin stated that
what Northcliffe wanted was, among
other things, "to obtain as much mill
tary and naval information as pos
sibIe."
