might be of momentous Importance to
the witness.
Banks Libeled Vessel.
The Kronprinzessin Cecilie was bound
from New York for Plymouth and
Cherbourg. when her commander was
warned that war had been declared
He turned back and found refuge at
Bar Harbor. Me. On board the steamer
was gold shipped by the Guaranty
Trust Company and the National City
Bank OF New York to bankers in Lon
don and Paris. and these banks libeled
the vessel. claiming damages of ST.
100000 because of the failure to de-
liver the consignment. In November,
1919; United States marshal took pos
session of the steamer. which was
brought to Boston, where she has since
been tied up.
When Count Bernstorff was given his
passports the libe1lants sought protec-
ton of the vessel from damage by the
crew. with the result that United
States Marshal John ]. Mitchell took
physical possession of the ship. putting
the German captain and crew ashore.
1t was then found that the machinery
had been tempered with, making 1t inn
possible to navigate the vessel until
many and expensive repairs had been
made.
Action by Court Of Appeals.
The libellants sought damages in the
United States district court. where they
were refused. They appealed and the
United States circuit court of appeals
overruled the lower court and sent the
case back for a hearing on a petition
for the sale of the ship, which was
heard today, and for the assessment of
damages. arguments on which will be
made March 3.
The plaintiffs alleged that the vessel
had been wantonly damaged and asked
that she be sold forthwith. Counsel
for the owners asked for a delay. of two
weeks until orders could be received
from the officials of the North German
Lloyd line at Bremen and also that the
case be delayed until the Supreme
Court had passed upon the owners pc
tition for review of the case, which
was expected March 5.

.BERNST0RFF MAY STAY
AT HALIFAX FOR A WEEK
British Authorities Likely to Need
That Much Time in Examining
the Cargo of Ship.
By the Associated Press.


HALIFAX, n. s.. February IL
Count Won Bernstorff. former German
ambassador to the United States, and
members of his party. homeward bound
on the Scandinavian American steamer
Frederik VIII, had a comparatively
quiet time aboard ship in British wa
ters here today. They were free from
every possible source of disturbance,
for no one except government officials
and inspectors was permitted to pass
the Gordon of naval boats of every de-
scription that steamed back and forth
near where the Frederik was at anchor
in Bedford basin.
The monotony of the enforced stay
was relieved somewhat when a batch
of American newspapers was taken
aboard. to be eagerly read by Count
Won Bernstorf. who is known to be
keenly interested in the development
of the international situation, since
his departure from New York Wednes-
day. All editions of the local newspa-
per were sent to the ship during the
day, and these constituted the stock of
information obtained by the former am
bassador and several hundred German
consular agents with him. as there was
no mail to be picked up here.
1t was learned that the examination
way tonight. Some of the inspectors
intimated that it might require a week
or more to complete the examination
although this view was not shared gen.
orally by port officials. Every effort is
being made to expedite the work. so
that the ship may resume her voyage
without unnecessary delay
Tauscher and Won Igel UnmoIested.
There was a stir along the water front
during the afternoon over reports that
Hans Tauscher and Wolf Won Igel, in
dicted in the United States some time
ago for an alleged attempt to destroy the
Welland canal. would be taken off the
Frederik under orders from London
Admiralty authorities declared such re-
ports were without foundation. 1t was
pointed out that Tauscher was acquitted
and that the State Department at Wash
ington had ordered Won Igers bail bond
Cancelled. He had never pleaded to the
Indictment
The port authorities declared again
however. that none of the Frederik's pas
sengers would be permitted to land while
the vessel remained in port. So strictly
we're the regulations observed that the
pilot picked up outside by the Frederic
was still aboard tonight. and it was as
sumed that he would not come ashore
until he has taken the ship out and re-
turns on naval tug.
At the point in Bedford basin where
the Frederik is anchored the view of
the city Is obstructed and the passengers
are isolated, SO far as this city is con-
cerned. if they were far out at sea.
Reports from the ship indicated that they
were accepting the situation with cheer
fulness, although Countess Won BernstorH
was said to be suffering from slight
nervous attack.

.LENROOT PLEADS

MUST PRESERVE LIBERTY

IT a speech which many members of
the House call the most brilliant and
patriotic utterance on the pending in
ternationaI matters, Representative
Irvine Lenroot of Wisconsin yesterday
declared that a divided country is
greater peril than any possible war
with Germany, and that the days of
this republic are numbered if the
House adopts the policy that no mat
ter what the provocation, we must
not defend our rights with force.
The Lenroot speech, rebuke to the
food OF pacifist and almost proctor
man utterances that have been poured
into the record recently, was wildly
applauded, and was followed later by
brief advice from Representative Car
rett of Tennessee, who told the House
that too much loose talk would do the

Polack said that last spring. soon after
the steamer Sussex was sunk he was
summoned to New York by his company's
office and introduced to gentleman who
said he represented the German govern
ment. This man told him that trouble
had arisen between the United States and
Germany and it was about time for him
to destroy the ships papers. He was
warned that his ship should not fall into
hostile hands.

biodgett insisted that the witness had

that the owners appeared in contempt

war is declared on this vote does 1t re-
