SAYS BRITISH GOVERNMENT RE oUEsTED SEIZURE OF GER
 MAN SHIPS.
WILL INDEMNIFY OWNERS
No Injury Forthcoming, as Portugal Alliance Demanded step-Teutons Precipitated Matters in War
 Declaration.

London.-Speaking on behalf of Premier Asquith, who was absent on account of illness. Sir Edward Grey, secretary for foreign affairs, explained in the House of Commons the entry of Portugal into the war. He con firmed the statement that the British government had asked Portugal to re- quisition the German ships and said that Portugal promised eventually to indemnify the owners.
 Ane secretary argued that the right in an emergency to requisition prop erty of all individuals and convert it to public use was right inherent in every foreign state and could not be challenged by any foreign power. Portugal, however, was not neutral state in the narrowest sense of the term. At the outbreak of the war Portugal promised that under no cir cumstances would she disregard her ancient alliance with Great Britain and she had remained faithful to the ob- ligation of that alliance.
 The action of Portugal, continued Sir Edward would injure no third party, because she had promised com pensation, but Germany saw fit to precipitate events and declare war, thus altering the whole position as regarded the payment of compensa- tion.
 "It must be observed" said the for eign secretary that Germany, who has accused Portugal with a breach of neutrality, had herself in October and December, 1914, entered the Portu. guese colony of Angola and tried to stir up rebellion in Portuguese East Africa.
 In conclusion, Sir Edward said Por, tugal would be welcomed by the allies as a gallant coadjutor in the great cause for which the war had been waged.

STATE CANNOT APPEAL UNLESS JUDGMENT IS FINAL sU-
 PREME COURT RULES.
SEWER CASE IS ADVANCED
Celebrated Suit Instituted by Eugene Williams of Forrest City Against Former Governor Geo. w. Don
 aghey Was Submitted.
Little Rock.

According to an opinion handed down by the supreme court, the state cannot take an appeal from a judg- ment granted defendant another hearing. The court dismissed the ap- peal from the Prairie Circuit Court asking reversal of the action of the lower court in granting R. E. Walker, former cashier of the Bank of Hagen. new trial on an embezzIement charge. Walker is charged with hay ing embedded $4,000 After Walkers S trial a motion for a new trial was made by his attorneys and granted by the court. One of the errors assigned was that Claud Grant, a member of the jury that convicted Walker, was a member of the grand jury that in. dicted him.
 The state appealed from the courts action in granting Walker a new trial, but the supreme court held that the state cannot appeal from an action of a court when the action is not a final judgment.
 The celebrated suit instituted by Eugene Williams of Forrest City against former Gov. Geo. w. Dona- ghey, was submitted in the supreme court. The suit involves $7,000 aI- leged to have been paid out by Will Hams while acting as manager for Donaghey during the Robinson-Dona, ghey gubernatorial campaign several years ago. Williams secured judg- ment for $25,000 in the Pulaski Or cult Court He and Donaghey be-<s appealed the case to the supreme court.
 The court advanced on the docket the suit of A. s. Rogers, mayor of Os- ceola, against Fannie M. Semmes, which tied up creation of a sewer inn proyement district in Osceola. Mrs Semmes was the plaintiff in the court below and obtained an injunction suit to stop the districts plans.
 The Osceola city council on March 20, 1911, created what is known as sewer district No 1 and levied 20 per cent assessment, the full amount allowed under the law, to finance the work. The system was completed, and it's outlet led to a ditch belong ing to drainage district No. 12 of Ms sissippi county. The outlet from the sewer, it developed ran through quicksand and had to be abandoned. The district was without funds to con- struct a new outlet so new district, known as Sewer District No. 2, was formed. Mrs. Semmes, in suit against MT. Rogers and others, ob- tained an injunction in the lower court, blocking the creation of the new district, claiming that an assessment by the new district would, in fact, be a double assessment.
