tension RELAXES
over BLACKLIST
Ambassador Assures State
Department Measure Will
Not Be Too Severe.

Following a conference yesterday be-
tween Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British
Ambassador, and Acting Secretary of
State Polk It became known that the
tension here had relaxed over the British
blacklist. The Ambassador brought re-
assuring advices relative to the iaterpre-
tation Great Britain puts on the black
listing of the American firms and showed
it will not be as wide in scope as this
Government feared.
AS q result the administration has de-
ferred its announcement of policy and
President Wilson's pen has been stayeo
in the process o. writing another note.
In general, the Interpretation which
Great Britain puts on the action of black
listing the selected American firms makes
it less stringent than was anticipated.
The effect of the blacklist is to be felt
only by the special firms mentioned and
is not to extend beyond that. American
commerce generally is not to be made to
suffer, according to Sir Cecil Spring Rice.
Mr.. Polk informed the Ambassador that
many American firms doing business with
Great Britain and also doing business with
a blacklisted firm feared that they might
be blacklisted. The Ambassador replied
that this fear was not warranted. The
assurance that, In general. existing con-
tracts would not be affected by the black
list order eliminated another vexing point.

centered the interest OF all Richland

the evidence he says he will present
when the formal inquest Is opened to-
morrow.
Roy Hinterliter. an olney boy whom
Miss Ratcliffe had known for ten
months, drove up to the Olney sani-
tarium at II O'Clock Friday night with
the girls body lying limp across his
knees. Physicians worked over her for
more than an hour. but 1t was evil
dent that life was extinct long before
Hinterliter reached the building.
HtnterIiter said that he and Miss
Ratcliffe had gone driving and that
the girl had appeared well and in good
spirits. As they drove into town on
out warning and fell forward in the
buggy. Not realizing that she was
dead, Hinterliter said. he hurried her
to the sanitarium for medical atten-
ton.
The sensation came when, after an
autopsy performed by a commission OF
Olney's leading physicians and a pre-
liminary investigation by the States at
torney Hinterliter was arrested and the
authorities refused to admit him to bail
despite his relatives offer to provide
bonds in any amount.
A poison theory developed and prep
arations were made to send the girl S
