British Legation that the Dutch
steamship Nieuw Amsterdam. with a
cargo for Belgian relief. is being de-
tained at Halifax. having been pro-

passengers on board.
Under these circumstances, and es-
pecially in view of the recent seizure
by the Germans of the Belgian relief
steamer Haelen, the. British Govern
ment cannot undertake the RESPONSE
bility of permitting the Nieuw Am
sterdam to continue her voyage, the
Overseas Trust was told.
The Nieuw Amsterdam. the crack
steamship of the Holland America
Line, was the first Dutch vessel to
leave New York after the embargo
was imposed several months ago on
the Dutch steamships. She put i'm al

ISPRESENT ORDER
New York Central Sends
Cars to Chicago to Relieve
Situation There

Washington, Feb. 23-To relieve
the freight congestion in Chicago,
rules requiring box cars to be kept
on their home lines have been related
and New York Central equipment is
to be used with the preference given
to food supplies. This was announc-
ed today at the interstate commerce
commission. 7
The following announcement was
issued by the commission:
"A wire received this morning
from 2. e. Crowley, vice president Of
that within the "a hours eding at
midnight, the 21st. that company had
moved from Buffalo for the West $50
empty box cars and that yesterday
they had moved 395. It further
states that it proposes to use New
York Central box cars to relieve the
situation in Chicago. giving prefer
ence to food supplies"
The New York Centrars action to
relieve Chicago with it's own box cars
is interpreted as q virtual suspension,
due to the emergency in Chicago, Of
rules recently promulgated by the
American Railway association and
now in effect, which prohobit the use
OF empty cars off their own lines and
requires the railroads to dispatch for
eign empty cars to home lines In
trafnload lots.
Drastic orders looking to the re-
lief of congestion which were issued
by the interstate commerce commits
sion recently prescribing virtually the
same rules under heavy penalties.
were to have gone into effect Feb. Fl,
simultaneously with the associations
rules, but their operation was post
poned until March 15.
Other reports to the commission
and 10 the car service commission of
the association indicated today that
the work Of relief at other congested
points, notably Cleveland, Detroit and
Cincinnati, was proceeding satisfac-
torily. Weather conditions favored
the work, reports said, and not only
were many empty cars sent west, but
the congestion Of loaded cars also was
slowly reduced.
Buffalo, Feb. 23-A request has
been sent by the Corn exchange to
the Interstate commerce commission
tor a modification of the order requir-
ing railroads to move empty cars to
the west in trainloads, it was an
nounced today. The order, it was
said, is hampering the movement Of
foodstuffs from Buffalo to eastern
cities.>
Eve have grain, flour and feed or
ders of a months standing that cannot
be filled for want Of cars said Sec
rotary Fred E. Pond. II cannot es-
innate offhand our supply OF these
comm odities, but if we are given the
cars we can relieve the shortage Of
food in the east quicker than any one.
AS it is, we can do nothing"

DENIES CAPTAIN BOY.ED WAS
IN PHILADELPHIA WEEK AGO

Philadelphia, Pa, March Histories
published here today that Captain
Karl Boy-Ed, former naval attache at
the German embassy at Washington,
was in this city as recently as a week
ago, and linking his name with the al
legged smuggling plot involving the
two informed German commerce raid
ers at the Philadelphia naval yard
were declared tonight to be without
foundation by Frank Garbarino, head
of the local bureau of investigation OF
the Federal Department Of Justice
Agents of the Department of Justice
were given as authorities for the
stories, which were to the effect that
Captain Boy-Ed had come here pre-.
SUNDAY to visit a young woman
prominent in social circles in Phila-
delphia and Washington, to whom he
had been reported engaged prior tc
his dismissal from this country in De.
cember, 1915.
Garbarino said there was absolutely
nothing on which to base such state
ments and denied emphatically thai
either he or his assistants had giver
out such information, either privately
or for publication. "The stories are
ridiculous on their face" declared
Garbarino.

TROUBLE AMONG GERMAN TROOP,
IN BELGIUM REPORTED TO
HAVE CAUSED MANY TO BE
PLACED BEHIND BARS

Amsterdam, March 13-Serious dis
turbances among the German troops
in the vicinity of Namur and Huy are
reported by the Telegraf.
The paper says that only fragmen-
tary reports of the trouble have reach
ed Holland, but that it is known that
such large numbers of soldiers have
been imprisoned at Namur and Huy on
charges of INSTRUMENTATION in connec-
ton with the outbreak that the pris-
ons in the two towns are crowded.
The Telograf also publishes an ac-
count Of further food riots in Barmen,
in which the Chief of Police was seri-
ously wounded by the stones of the
women rioters. The account says that
the police were helpless, and that even
the troops failed to dispense the riot
ers, who were finally got in hand by
firemen, who turned their fire hose
OH them.
A rioter who cut hose with knife
was sentenced to 10 years imprison-
ment.
