High Court Holds
Appam Must Be
Returned to British

Washington, March 6.-British
claimants of the German prize ship
Appam at Newport News, Va, today
won their suit in the supreme court
to regain possession OF the vessel and
cargo.
In sustaining the British libel at
tschment suit against the Appam and
cargo-the court held that the British
owners are entitled to restitution be-
cause the Appam violated American
neutrality.
Treaties Of 1899 and 1928 between
the United States and Germany, the
court held. do not entitle German
prizes, unaccompanied by the captor
warship to indefinite American asy-
lum. Jurisdiction Of American. courts
over the Appam was upheld.
Findings of Federal Judge Waddll
of Virginia that the Appam violated
American neutrality after being
brought into Hampton Roads year

German prize crew were sustained and
approved by the court.

Submarine Blockade
Keeps 100000 Tons
Cargo in New York

New York, March 6.-As a direct
result of the German blockade decree
of January 81, which also closed to
neutral shipping the British ports OF
kirkwall and Falmouth, fifty-three
steamers of American, Swedish, Den
ish, Dutch and Norwegian registry
have been prevented from sailing from
the port of New York, or, having
sailed, now are tied up for all indef-
mite time at Halifax for examination.
According to figures compiled here
today by shipping authorities these
ships, had they sailed as scheduled,
would have taken from this port ap-
proximately 100000 tons OF cargo.
Fourteen of the vessels would have
carried passengers and United States
mails.
The heaviest sufferer has been Hol-
land. Agents here of lines flying the
Dutch flag reported today that twen-
ty-fve vessels that would have sailed
under conditions prevailing prior to
February l., are tied up at their piers,
or have been detained at Halifax for
examination. Ten freight ships OF
neutral nations, classed as tramps,
also are held here awaiting orders.
The American line, which now has
its entire feet of six passenger ships
in port, has missed eight sailing
dates, and all passenger traffic to
Europe other than that carried by ves-
sells of the entente allies and Spain has
been suspended. The same condi-
tions prevailed for traffic.
The number of ships of the entente
allies departing from New York dur.
ing the period from February | to
March S, is shown by ports records
to 10 ships, twelve less than sailed
between December % and January 81

MANS BODY FOUND
IN BUTTERMILK VAT
Mystery Surrounds Death of
T. R. Campbell at Omaha
Cold Storage Plant.
SUICIDE THEORY SECUTED

Suspended over huge vat of but
termilk, the body of Thomas r
Campbell, who was about IS year:
old, was found hanging in the Omaha
Cold Storage plant at Eighth ant
Farnam streets late yesterday after
noon. The body was partly decom'
posed and is believed to have beer
hanging for at least four days.
The body was found by A. N
Thomson, head butter maker, when
he began investigating why the vat
which was supposed to have con-
tanned about 1000 gallons of butter.
milk, was dry. In some manner
Campbell had pulled or caused to be
pulled the safety valve which let the
buttermilk run out into the sewer
To gain entrance to the vat it was
necessary to unlock the door of a
shed used as pump house for pump
ing out the buttermilk and then raise
board which covered a manhole
The manhole, about twenty inches in
diameter, led directly to the vat.
Robbed and Murdered2
Because of the seemingly impossi.
bility OF man falling into the vat
unless bent on suicide, police cannot
account for the deed, unless he was
robbed and then thrown into the vat
The latter theory is somewhat
strengthened by the fact that not a
cent of money nor other valuables
were found on the dead man. :
Police scout the theories that he
was looking for a place to sleep or
trying to get a drink of the butter
milk and accidentally fell into the
vat. He was identified by number
of letters found in his clothes. He is
believed to have been a printer by
trade. The letters were signed W.
w. Garrett, Tweed Ontario, who is
believed to have been related to
Campbell.
The coat OF Campbell caught on a
projection and he was left suspended
in the air. Death was due to
strangulaton. Part of his clothing
was wet, showing that he had evi-
IDENTIFY been immersed i'll the butter
milk. An inquest will be held, &C
cording to the county attorney.
