AMERICAN SHIP
 IN PRIZE COURT
Republican A. F. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON April 5.-Seizure by a British man of war of the American sailing ship Dirigio bound from Seattle for Sweden with car go of barley, was reported to the state department today by the yes sels owners, who urged that a viz orouS protest be made The ship and her cargo have been thrown in- to a prize court, and it is under stood the British authorities seek to have both condemned on the ground that the cargo, conditional contra band, was destined ultimately for Germany.
 Although the Dirigio was captured about ten days ago. the state de- partment heard of it first through the complaint of the owners, the George P. McNear company of San Francisco. The case probably will he taken up with Great Britain as soon as the necessary information has been assembled.
 Heretofore when English ships have taken neutral vessels carrying con- ditional contraband the cargoes have been confiscated and paid for and the vessels permitted to proceed. It is presumed the treatment proposed for the DirigiO is in accordance with the latest orders in council.

They tell us they are making only from sixty cents to $1.15 on each steer" he said. Well, may be so, but we think they have left out something in their calculations and something besides the liver, too. Possibly they have left out a front quarter or hide and because we are not satisfied with their state ment in which we find our business. we want an investigation"
 Do you find your business profit able?" Mir. Meeker inquired
 We find it uncertain, MT. Lander gin continued. We have not made any money in the last three years. It was a close shave last year. The year be- fore we lost money
 MT. Meeker said it was not fair that producers should lose money on their cattle, and declared he would welcome an investigation that would lead to a remedy if it was proved that they were operating at a loss.
 R. C. McManus, counsel for Swift X Company, declared the producers and the packers could iron out their diff ferenceS in ten minutes if given an op- pOrtunity."
 w. L. Fisher attorney for the pro ducers insisted that broader inquiry , than the packers would agree to was demanded and at that point the hearing adjourned. It will be continued tOmOr- row when packers representatives are to take the stand as witnesses.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. April 5.-Despite the soaring prices of meat, neither the producer nor the packer is profiting greatly, according tr testimony given today by representatives of the reSpec- tive interests at the house judiciary sub committees hearing on the Bor- land resolution for a federal investiga tion of the packing industry.
 Answering declarations of producers that packers are reaping enormous profits, Arthur Meeker, vice president of Armour and Company, declared that S50,000 on their total sales in the United States. His statement interrupted that Of John Landergin. a big cattle raiser of Amarillo, Texas, who insisted that in spite of large sales he had only 'broken even" in his business the last three years.
 Edward L. Burke, of Omaha, repre- senting the American National Live stock association, told the committee that higher prices were inevitable in the face of decreased cattle production.
 Mir. Landergin, who said he once made an unsuccessful attempt as a member of an independent Texas pack : ing company to compete with the five business in this country, was positive in his declarations that the packers were making much money.
