SWEDEN STOPS MESSAGES,
DEMANDS AN EXPLANATION
Foreign Minister Luidman De-
fines Relations With Ger

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 15.-Sweden real
ICES the seriousness of the situation Gre
ated by the recent disclosures at WASH
ington regarding the transmission OF
German dispatches and expects to take
all steps possible to put matters right.
Foreign Minister Lindman told the AS
ISOLATED Press during an informal talk
All transmission of German dispatches
had been stopped, he said, and Germany
had been asked for an explanation OF the
abuse Of the privilege formerly extended.
In the course of his discussion of the
affair with the correspondent Admiral
Lindman brought out the following
points:
First, that the Swedish government
was not as alleged, in certain quarters.
taking the affair lightly. but on the
contrary realized fully the serious as
pect of the situation and was intended
TO do everything possible to settle the
problem.
Second, that transmission of dis
patches on behalf of Germany had been
stopped from the moment when dis
closures were brought to the foreign
minister's attention and would under
no circumstances be resumed.
Third. that had the Swedish govern
ment had the slightest idea of the ma
ture of the dispatches which the German
government was transmitting, the mes
sages would never have been transmit
ted
Fourth, that strong representations
had been addressed to the German gov
eminent on the abuse made of this
practice, accompanied by a request for
explanation to which, however, no re-
ply had yet been received"
Admiral Lindman, during the entire
converse tioT, seemed imbued with the
desire to see the situation cleared up
fully and completely on a basis salts
factory to the United States and Swe-
den, and in a way to permit the con-
tinuance of the most friendly, cordial
relations with the American govern
ment and people.

CAR OWNERS LIABILITY
FOR LIQUOR IS TESTED
Judge Newman Holds limo
CenCe of OffenSe Removes
LiabiIity-CaSe Appealed

An appeal has been taken to the
federal court of appeals by United
States District Attorney Hooper Alex
ander in the case of ]. NJ. Mincey, claim
ant of a Ford automobile. The case
Is appealed for the purpose of deternin-
ing whether an automobile is subject
to forfeiture if it is found containing
liquor upon which the revenue tax has
not been paid, even though the owner
of the automobile IS ignorant of the
unlawful use to which the machine is
put by a person to whom he has en-
trusted 1t.
The case was tried before Judge w.
T. Newman in the United States dis
trict court last March and the evidence
introduced then tended to show that j.
NJ. Minecy, a merchant and farmer or
Dawson county. Georgia, had instructed
one of his employees, Frank Mincey, to
take the Ford automobile to Gaines
VILE to get merchandise, and that in
the course of the journey Frank Mircey
took into the car a ten-gallon unstamped
keg of whisky with the intention, 1T
is alleged, of defrauding the govern
ment of the tax. The evidence further
tended to show that the whisky was
put in the machine without the ihstruc-
ton or knowledge of j. M. Mincey, the
owner of the car.
Judge Newman decided that the car
was not subject to forfeiture. District
Attorney Alexander contends, however,
that the law requires the confiscation of
the car by the government regardless
of the owners knowledge. and takes
the appeal to have this question set
tied

JACKSON. Miss, Sept. 1.-THE pres
ident of the Jackson board of trade, ).
J. Taylor, has made suggestion TO
the bankers of the town that may lead
to a large increase in the number or
chickens and eggs produced in this vi
cinity His plan is to encourage every
girl over fifteen years of age to get
into the poultry business on small
scale-say five TO ten hens.
The banks are to furnish the capital
to buy the hens for all girls who are
rot able to buy on their own account
This small number of hens will -four
ish on scraps from the table, with very
little bought grain. Eggs are selling
here at 40 to so cents per dozen, and
with ten hens, giving proper care, there
should be at least four dozen eggs every
week for six or seven months In the
year. and worth SO or more per week.
Mr.. Taylor stated to the board of trade
that he was ready to underwrite the
banks for any sum they might advance
to the girls of the community, but 1t
is hardly probable any of them will
demand such security.
