DAWSON VICTOR IN FIRST
Wilder Beats Fuss Thursday

In a slow game Thursday
Dawson walked all over the To-
cal team Tor an 8 to l victory.
Although they say that the "Ba-
by" is at his best on dry, hot
days, he pitched some mighty
fine ball Thursday, although a
high, moist wind prevailed all
during the last six innings. The
famous Baby Wilder gave up but
three hits. However, Wilder was
wild in the fifth and passed two
men, then the bleachers got noisy
with cowbells and made Wilder
wilder Gold stuff so he let Fuss
hit hard fly to centerheld, how
ever, Loke Thrasher prevented
the hit with pretty catch, and
then Norris hit into a double,
Wilder to Thrasher to Gilmore.
Little Fuss pitched pretty good
ball but he was given very poor
support. Fuss also hit 335 during
the game and made two very
pretty stops. The Thrasher boys
obtained six out of the nine hits
the visitors made off him. Ike
made three out of four and Loke
three out of six. Why this par

LATEST BRITISH
ORDER IN COUNCIL
IS RETROACTIVE.
U. S. Claimants of Seized COndi.
tional Contraband Deprived
of Their Defense.

London. April 4.-Representatives of
owners or conditional contraband car
goes awaiting adjudication in the prize
court must at the last moment entirely
change their defense, as their legal adj
Visers have reached the conclusion that
the British order In council of March 20
last is definitely retroactive
Since Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign secretary, informed the state de-
partment at Washington in his note of
February 10, 1915, that the British gov
eminent did not apply the doctrine Of
continuous voyage to conditional contra
band, except on goods consigned to order.
to an unknown consignee or to a con-
sgnee within enemy territory. millions
OF dollars worth of conditional contra
band has been shipped from the United
States to neutral ports.
In cases where seizures were made +bo
attorneys for the owners Of goods had
prepared their defence relying on this
statement coupled with the fact that the
order in council of October %. 1914
definitely ratified Article IS of the Der
laration of London, which provided that
the doctrine of continuous voyage was
not applicable to conditional contraband
Acting on Sir Edward Crews statement
coupled with the above order in council
the state department at Washington ad
vised American shippers that they could
SEND cargoes to neutral ports consigned
to known neutral consignees.
At the same time the ATTORNEYS FOR +ha
American eat packers informed tn
state department that they intended to
continue shipments to neutral ports under
this doctrine.
Meantime many conditional contraband
cargoes We're seized, the most impor-
tant Of which was the case Of the Amer
lcan steamer Joseph w. Fordney, loaded
with cattle feed, the trial of which was
set for to-day. With the defence all
prepared for trial n bombshell was
thrown into the camp of the American
claimants by the PRONUNCIATION of the
order in council of last week, which re-
verses the previous contention of thu
British government and subjects condi-
tional contraband to the same treatment
as absolute contraband
The full extent Of the blow was not
realized. however. until the English az
torneys retained to appear in the prize
court informed their American COL
leagues that theis outlined defence must
be dropped, as the provisions of the
new order in council were clearly retro
active. The state department at Wash
ington has been informed OF this inter-
pretation
On account of an unfinished case Of a
Swedish vessel the prize court to-day
postponed consideration of the American
cases until tomorrow

GERMANY is NOT
AFRAID OF HOLLAND
TeutOnic Press Sure Dutch Have Not
Armed against the Kaiser.

Berlin. April 1, (by wireless to Say
vlle)-"During the past few days says
the Overseas News Agency to-day, the
German newspapers have published de-
spatches from Holland regarding meas
ures taken by tn Dutch government and
the excitement caused by these measures,
but have RETAINED from comment upon
the Developments.
I'm Mondays reviews, however. the
newspapers enter freely into a discussion
of the meaning and importance of the
events in question. The tone of the COM
ment in all cases Is one of absolute calm
All the articles agree that the real cause
of the steps taken by the Dutch govern
ment Is not known, but that most GER
tainly they are not directed against Ger
many.
I'm this connection the press expresses
appreciation of the strict neutrality the
Dutch government has maintained from
the beginning of the war Thus the
Berliner Tagebatt says: The Dutch
nation has always in the past kept trade
and politics apart as scarcely any other
nation has done The Dutch have held
their trade aloof from sympathes and
antipathies alike. and have always main
famed thls prlnclple against encroach-
ment.
" In an excellent book that was pub
lished by the Dutch MEASUREMENTS as
ISOLATION at the time of Queen Wilhel-
mina's coronation ii was noted that dur
ing the war with Spain. in spite of the
fact that hostilities We're in progress,
Dutch middlemen transported goods from
one country to the other and that their
maritime traffic was not interrupted.
They never imagined that war against
a country must of necessity cause an in
terruption of trade with that country,
for war and trade always seemed to

MUCH WHEAT is
UNFIT FOR MILLING

Washington, April 4.-Whcat of the
1915 crop, unfit for milling, is esti-
mated at 146,000,O00 bushels. as a re-
suit of inquiries made by the depart

so variable as to make accurate deduc-

worked out 14,4 per cent. as the wheat
unfit for milling and 10 per cent. or
