Their IL no doubt hat one or two OF
the Old Guard leaders are behind this

objection to the organized campaign. In

LANSING IN DEFENCE
OF FOREIGN POLICY
Questions Motives of Critics in
Sppech-"Life Always
Above Property"

WArERrowS. y. Y. June 3-Secre-
tary Lansing. speaking before the JEFF
ferson County Bar Association here to-
night. condemned critics OF the Admin
istration's foreign policy. and replied
TO those who complain that the United
States has been more vigorous in its
dealings with Germany than with Great
Britain. Secretary Lansing said in
part
The violation OF the natural right OF
life Is a much more serious offence
against an individual and against his
nation than the violation of the legal
right Of property. Can you doubt for
a moment which one gives this Govern
ment the greater concern"
That there was an influence in Amer
lea and even in Congress which put
right Of property and right Of life on a
par. Secretary Lansing declared. showed
that the great heart of the republic
IL threatened with fatty degeneracy
through those who have lost their patri-
otic vigor: hat many Americans have
become lovers OF ease rather than lovers
of national honor.
1.-THE great war has caused so many
conditions which are entirely new and
presented so many questions which were
never before raised or even thought OF
that II has been no easy task to meet
and answer them. The relations be-
tween neutrais and belligerents were
never more difficult OF adjustment. II

$22,s4S AWARD FOR
DACIA CARGO RISK
Jury Decides Underwriters
Were Entitled to Ask 3 Per
Cent. Premium.
BREITUNG SUED AS OWNER

At the conclusion OF an insurance sui.
over the cargo Of the steamship Dacia
a jury before Judge n. q. Ward in the
United States District Court yesterday
decided that because Of conditions aris-
ing out OF the war insurance under
writers are entitled to ask a premium
OF about 3 per cent. or the cargo car
ried by a ship transferred from German
to American registry. TIL jury on this
basis awarded the Providence W. shing-
ton Insurance Company a verdict Of 322,-
9+s In It's suit against Tom Il. Owens &
co. OF Galveston. Tex, shippers OF the
$1t6.964 worth Of cotton on the Dacia.
The jury was willing TO concede that
the cargo carried by such a ship must
Of necessity constitute a higher risk
than the cargo carried BY a ship trans
ferred from British to American registry.
Nevertheless II could not zee that, the
Insurance company was justified In ask
ing a premium Of &3s2.475. or so per
cent. Of the value OF the cotton on the
Dacia.
The Dacia was bought by Edward -.
Breitung from the Northumberland
Line. On January 10, 1915. after takinG
on the cotton cargo at Galveston II
sailed for Rotterdam. The shippers OF
the cotton got the Providence Washing.

to Holland the Dacia was seized by a
French warship and taken to Brest. The
prize court subsequently upheld the
seizure. but the French Government re-
imbursed Owens n Co. for the full value
OF the cotton. II was then that the
frovidence-W Washington Insurance COM
pany began Its action to collect n
premium Of so per cent. OF the value OF
the cotton.
In making this claim the company
contended that II was impossible to get
reinsurance In the case Of ships trans
ferred from German to American regis
try and that In consequence II had to
stand the fvll burden of the risk alone.
owens n 60. refused to a the claim.
asserting that the prevailing rate at
the time on cargoes shipped from
America to Holland WAS only ! Ills per
cent. Of the value Of the cargo.
Al the trial OF the suit the ~defendan
company produced witnesses who testi-
fed that they had been called upon TO
pay only the prevailing rate OF l lis
per cent. on cargoes shipped to neutral
ports on steamers whose registry had
been changed from British to Ameri-
can after the outbreak OF hostilities.
The insurance company replied by ad-
ducing evidence that the risk in the case
OF such ships was not as great as that
attached to ships changed from German
registry.
Owens & Co. through their counsel
\. y. kirlin. announced their intention
Yesterday Of appealing from the verdict
Of the jury allowing the insurance com

BLOWS NEAR BEFORE
NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Attorney Accuses South Caro-.
lima Member and Hillps
Jumps Between.

CHicAoo. June 3-There was a sensa-
tionai scene In the National Committee
meeting to-day during a hearing OF the
contested cases from South Carolina.
John Philip Hill OF Baltimore. an at
torney representing one OF the contest
ants for a delegate seat. suddenly be-
came resentfuI oward Joseph " Tai
bert. membe Of the National Commit
tee from South Carolina. and waved a
paper which he declared to be a certif-
cate Of a court record relating to pro-
ceedings In charges against Taibert for
an alleged Federal offence.
Immediately the session was in an
uproar and members were on their feet
protesting against the action OF Attorney
Hill. He was told that the paper was
not revelant and he could not read 1T
Then ! will go before the convention
and read 1t :" shouted Hill.
Talbert had been sitting in his seat
apparently somewhat dazed. but sud
denly rose and started in the direction
OF his accuser. Confronting him. Talbert
appeared to be rejecting what he should
do. Hin stood looking him in the eye.
In "A moment the chairman Of the com
mlttee. Mr., Hilles. left the platform
and jumped between the two men. and
several members gathered between the
would -be combatants. Talbert was forced
back in his seat and members gathered
aroun him and urged him to ignore
the incident.
Motions were made In rapid success
sion by members Of the committee In
an EFFORT 20 bring the sensational scene
to a conclusion. One member moved to
close the case az once. Another avowed
himself ready to throw Hill out OF the
window. Finally the room was cleared
and a motion was passed asking that
Hin apologize before being allowed to
make any further appearance in any
OF the contested cases.
Later Hill came into the room and
apologized to the committee and eX-
planned that he had been goaded into
making the charge against Talbert by
the fact tina, some of the Talbert fac
ton had made damaging affdavits
against a friend Of mis-. his client. and
he felt he had a right to attack in an
EFFORT to impeach the source Of the
charges,
Following the incident Mr.. Hills client
was seated by the committee. Later.
az the conclusion Of the days proceed
ings. Mr. Talbert explained that court
record In which lie was involved and
mos; OF the members seemed to think
it rather trivial and gave the nember
from South Carolina a generous round
Of applause At the conclusion.
