PLANATION OF PASSPORT
ExACTIoNS BY BRITISH
Object Is to Prevent British Subjects |
from Evadinq CONSUMPTION.

London, Jan. 13, $40 p. m.-The an
nouncement which the American en-
bassy gave last night to London news
papers to the effect that hereafter ap-
plications for passports which it had
any reason to suspect were fraudulent
would be turned over to Scotland
Yard, caused considerable feeling in
the American colony here. When this
was brought to the attention of the
embassy today regret was expressed
for what was termed an unfortunate
wording of the announcement and re-
sponsibility for its publication in the
British papers was placed upon one
of the clerks at the embassy.
The embassy authorizes the state
ment that no bonafide American cit
izen will be subjected to any Scotland
Yard inquiry and that the rule is
meant to apply only to British sub
jects or individuals Of other nation
alities attempting to obtain Ameri-
can passports fraudulently. The en-
bassy is determined to place such
cases in the hands of the police, as the
result of the Spencer Dixie Kid" case
and the rush to obtain passports by a
number of British subjects who wish
to protect themselves against conscrip-
ton.
