TWO OPPOSING VIEWS

One theory largely held is that title to the captured ship does not pass until a prize court has acted. Another opinion strongly championed is that title passes immediately after the capture is made providing the senior officer of the cap tors duly commissions one of his own of captured ship. The latter view is com monly Elccepted by the American navy and n sbably would be followed by the state department though Secretary Ian sing said today he would have to take time to consider the important ques- tion involved before announcing a con clusion.
 Assuming that the American naval view prevails, the initial character of the Ap- pam. after her capture as a prize, would be established. and were there no de- yelopments in the case officials would see their way clear to her disposition under article 21 of The Hague conven- ton concerning the rights and duties of neutral powers in naval war.
 This article permits prizes to be brought into neutral port on account of un- seaworthiness stress of weather want of fuel or provisions. A prize must leave as soon as the circumstances which justified it's entry are at end. If it does not the neutral power must order it to leave at once: should it fail to obey the neutral power muss employ the means at it's disposal to release it with it's officers and crew and to intern the prize crew.
 A subsequent article enlarges the pow CTS of the captor of a prize so that he may bring the captured vessel into a
 neutral port ito be sequestered pending the decision of a prize court" But the
 United States at the time the treaty was made, expressly declined to accept this article and the debate at The Hague showed that the American position was strongly opposed to any such use of American ports as receptacles for prizes It was pointed out that otherwise the

J. S. Wellington Dead
Train Hit His Auto

Tilamook, Ore, Nov. S.-Freight
train No. 25j of the Tilamook division
of the Southern Pacific struck light
automobile driven by j. S. Wellington,
editor of the Bay City Examiner, this
morning shortly after O'Clock, killing
Wellington and injuring c. n. Doty, of
Bay City, who was a passenger in the
car.
The accident occurred at Kodads
Crossing; three miles north of this city.
Mr. wellington was returning to Bay
City from TillamoolS, having spent most
of the night here watching election re-
turns. Members of the train crew say
that he was driving at a fast rate when
his machine arrived at the track.
His view of the approaching train
was obstructed by small hill at the
crossing and it is thought that the
noise of the auto engine prevented him
from hearing the train whistle. The
machine was dragged more than SOC
feet. Trainmen say that both yelling
ton aud Doty succeeded in grasping the
pilot of the engine, but that Wellington
lost his grip His body was terribly
mangled. Doty escaped with minor in
juries.
Justice of the Peace f. w. Stanley
of this city, accompanied by II. Cren
shaw, sheriff, and +. j. Claussen, acting
district attorney, FASTENED to the scene
and impaneled coroner's jury to in

Great Northern to

The great Northern Pacific line has
lifted his embargo on most cargo and
executives hope to handle all except
lumber, shingles and grains on the
Northern Pacific Saturday. The North,
ern Pacific took the last of delayed

w. d. Skinner, traffic manager, said
yesterday that because of the embargo
there were about 700 tons of freight
stored on the North Bank dock here,
and plans were under way to shift that

THE INSUFFERABLE COCKNEY

It is rather unsafe for foreigners to monkey with
American politics and especially so when they do the
1nonkeyng before they they right The big
London papers taking the dispatch them to the eff
feet that Hughes elected, being fnal began IN
their usual sycophanc way to sobber over the man they
thought elected and in order to curry favor with him
abused his competitor whom they thought was down
and out
The Evening Standard slurred the president in dirty
way saying: "The whole world believes the United
States reiOces in Wilson's defeat. Now the belgerent
nations know what the United States will say do under
Mr. Hughes and diplomatic notes will become something
more than raw material for humorous papers"
The Evening News says: "Great Britain can unre-
servedly congratulate Americans and especially Colonel
Roosevelt who stood up boldly for the allied cause is
understood he might get important post" This should
make interesting reading for the Germans OF this coun
try who espoused the Hughes 1t shows them what
England thinks of the most Of them supported and
his henchman Roosevelt "who stood up boldly for the
allied cause"
1t would be according to the eternal fitness of things
for this government to reply in kind by giving England
sample of what it could do in bringing the insufferabe
Londoner to taw and making him play square in his
dealings with this country. President Wilson has been
lenient with England too enent and since the friend
ship of this country has brought in return nothing but
sneers from the contemplate ickspite English news
papers it should refuse to longer extend that friendship
to those who do not appreciate It,
Of course President Wilson cannot and will not allow
his personal feelings to alter the course ne has mapped
out for his dealings with Johnny Bull or with any other
country, and will go on maintaining Stflct neutTany
as to all the warning nations Whether President Wilson
is reelected not he is Americas president until his
successor nduced into Office and such is entitled to
the respect of the balance of the world The English
press did not nure President Wilson but it aroused in
the minds of millions of Americans feeling of contempt
and spirit of bitterness toward the whole bgheaded
nation.
Here in America claim the right to abuse one an
other especially at election times on the principle that
every man can kick his dog. At the same time we
recognize the fact that one else can kick that same
i dog not without breeding trouble.

Result of SeVen-Day Play.

Chicago, July Exchanges in the
standings of first division clubs in the
National and American leagues were
slight during the past week The mar
gin OF percentage separating the first
and fourth clubs remained virtually
the same as at the close of the pre-

greatly, and New Yorks margin in the
american was unaffected, except that
Boston took CIeveland's place as run

The Red SOX made the best gain Of

able to set Lack Detroit in three out

with the Yankees. Carrigan's men are
in good shape physically, while New
York is without the services of three
outtieiders-Maisel, GilhOOley and High

tiers, on account of injuries. In addi-
ton, DOnOvan's pitching staff is not
in as good shape as that of the Red SOx,

pitcher, is on the hospital list
Chicago slipped and went into fifth
place. The White Sox took four

Thursday the White Sox lost two
games of a double-header to Wash

games went 10 innings, the Senators
winning by one run IN each contest
The race in the National frightened

lead, with Boston, Philadelphia and
New York following in order Brook
Ign was the only first division team to
