DROKEN TOMATO CONTRACTS


From The Milford Chronicle.
The high prices that have been paid
for tomatoes by buyers at the various
depots have gotten many who CON
tracted to grow tomatoes for the can
ncries into trouble, because OF men
who had contracted. selling their TO-
matces IN tho open market at higher
prices The law Instituted by Richard
son and Robbins at Dover, has opened
tho eyes Of many, and the result has
been that the canneries have been re-
ceivlng tomatoes more freely this
week. There is a point Of law involved
In this breach Of contract question,
which has as yet not been brought be-
fore the courts for a ruling, and that
point Is, the liability Of the men who
buy the tomatoes from those who have
contracted, and who are known to have
contracted with Gamers to grow toma-
toes. It Is claimed, and II is an open
question, that where such conditions
exist, and the local buyer has been
given a list Of those who have con-
tracted with a Gamer, that the buyer
Is criminally liable as receiving goods
which have been stolen, or taken, as
larceny as bailee. A case based upon
such action, would awaken the dishon-
orable growers who disregard a con-
tract, to their responsibility when they
Sign an agreement TO grow a certain
acreage Of tomatoes for a cannery. Tho
result Of the RICH price paid in the
open market, will be TO create a dis
inclination TO contract on the part OF
the farmers. On the other hand tn

acts as aid and comfort to our enc

document known as the Constitution OF
the United States, with which a large
number OF our Pacifst friends seem 10

ORPHEO THEATER.

Today-The story of "A Corner in Colleens," the new Triangle-Kay Bee play in which Bessie Barriscale ap- pears as star, and which will be seen at the Orpheo theater today, is that of a young Irish lass who is up to all miserable for her American suitor. The ensuing situations involve thrill ing fights between soldiers and rebels, with lots of romance, and, more inn portant than all. a happy ending. It affords Miss Barriscale opportunity to do things she likes best, with plenty of comedy and heart-throbs. A high ly amusing sequence Of scenes in the action shows Miss Barriscale in the disguise of young man: but she is so palpably a forlorn little bundle of femininity that all the soldiers in the regiment which capture her have to pretend they are taken in by her de- ception. Charley Ray and Margery Wilson are featured with Miss Barri- scale in the cast.

GERMANY'S DETENTION

Develops That Turkey Was Responsi- ble by Seeking to AbrOgate
 Ancient Agreement.

Washington, March S.-Turkey has
 again attempted, without success, to
 secure the consent of the United States to abrogation cf the ancient "capitulations," under which fore igners under Turkish, rule enjoy extra territorial rights and are ex-
 empt from many peculiarities of Ot-
 toman law.
 Taking advantage of the state de. partment's plan to transfer to Fur
 key American consuls taken from
 Germany, the Ottoman government proposed a new form of exequatur to be given them, emitting these rights. The United States replied it would not consent to such change. The Berlin government did not want to embarrass Turkey by sending American officials to Turkey whiie
 the point remained unsettled. hence detained four American consuls, the Turkish correspondence being the first explanation of the cause of that action.

 Margaret Fielding as the jealous maiden who makes the serious mis- chief by maligning her unconscious rival, Miss Caprice, is clever, and shows no inclination to overact at any time.
