AIR-RRAkE CASE

One of the most interesting deci-
sianS thus far handed down by the
United States circuit court or appeals
here at this term was that rendered
Monday in which the safety Appu-
ancc" law we involved.
II was the case OF the United States
against the Chesapeake & ohio Rail-
way company. Under a regulation OF
the interstate commerce law railroads
are required 20 have IS per cent of
the cars I'm each train under workable
air brakes. under ths Safety Appli-
ance" law. the inference being that
the remaining Is per cent may be
made up of the ord fashioned hand
brake cars now being rapidly elinlin-
ated.
In the case in question In One train
there was the requisite number of
safety~bfake ears and four of the re-
mainder were cars on which air.
brakes had bean In use but were
then. out of repair. The court. with
Judge Knapn dissenting, affirmed the
opinion OF the United States district
court Of the Western district of Vir-
etnia. holding that the railroad was
within its RIGHTS in operating the four
cars in connection with the train, de-
ciaring that the four cars properly
constituted a part nj the is per cent
which they OF right could operate
without air-brakes
Judge Knapp, In his dissenting
opinion held that the real idea OF
the law was to inhtsit the use OF
such cars when their brakes were
not In disable condition. Other opin-
ions announced were:

Experienced Man
Will be Selected
For Japan Post

international News Service:
WASHINGTON, March 9. - The
successor to the late George w.
Guthrie as ambassador TO Japan will
not be a politician. Neither will he
be selected for the post simply be-
cause he has a lot Of money, ad-
ministration officials declared today.
The situation so far as Japan is
concerned, is admittedly delicate.
To send an inexperienced indi-
vidual TO act as ambassador there
might easily result in serious com
plication. He will have to deal with
the expected demand of Japan for
q settlement OF the land and citizen
ship questions which have been re-
spOnsible for friction between the
two countries for years.
Pres't Wilson has made no move
as yet TO consider anyone for the
position. He is not expected 10 do
so for some time to come. 1t is be-
lieved likely here that he will select
a diplomat now i'm the service who
is familiar with diplomatic routine.

TURKS WILL GIVE
FIGHT At BAGDAD
London Dispatches Say Brit
iSh Cavalry is Only Short
Distance From City.
International News Service:


LONDON, March 9. Turkish
forces have concentrated before
Bagdad and are preparing to hold
the Arabian Nights city at all cost.
Dispatches to the war Office today
indicated that British cavalry forces
are now within a few hours ride OF
Bagdad. Gen. Maude's main forces,
however are several miles to the
rear. Unless the Turks change their
plans and eXacuate without a battle
Bagdad may not fall for several
days.
The rapid advance Of the British
up the Tigris has caused the pan
icky fight of many of the MesopO
tamian tribes who aided in the de-
feat of Gen. Townshend's forces in
the first march against Bagdad.
These forces have made no attempt
TO harass the advancing Britishers.
The failure of the Turks TO at
tempt a stand at Ctesip1on where
the British met defeat in 1915 is &C
cepted as indicating that they can
not offer effective resistance at Bag
dad. Ctesiphon was strongly de-
Tended against attack from the
south but its works were dismantled
by the Turks. who retired without
firing a shot

HAVE ENDED MARCH 7
Ambassador Cables That Doc
tor Who Investigated Has
Found Conditions As Ger
mans Reported Them.
International News Service

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, March 9. - The
state department was still without
reported release of the Yarrowdale
prisoners. but. that they have been
liberated was indicated in the fol-
lowing cable from Ambassador
Willard at Madrid under date of
March I:
According TO a report received
from the Spanish ambassador az
Berlin, the steamer Yarrowdale
prisoners at Brandenburg were
visited by the Spanish embassy doc
tor on March !, who found that the
conditions were as the German
authorities had reported them. He
gave his approval of the quarantine.
The typhus case appeared on the
goth Of February. and, unless new
cases of the disease appear, the
quarantine will be ended March 7.
The doctor stated that the men
complained of the diet and were
pleased to learn that they were due
to be released They have no other
complaints 10 make. Only five of
the 81 Americans were in the hos
pital with slight colds and five men
of other nationality were under OBJ
servation by the doctor"
The Madrid advices on the pris-
oners came just after the state de-
partment permitted il to become
known that another inquiry con-
corning them had been sent TO Ger
many. In this inquiry, which is be-
lieved to have been sent some time
during the past two days, Germany
was also asked concerning the four
American consuls ordered TO posts
in Turkey who have been detained
in Germany. WCrd concerning these
cOnsuls is expected soon.
