Senator Owen (Okla). Democrat,

if there had been danger of the bill
being defeated he would have voted for
it, but as it seemed to him certain that
it would pass he reserved his vote and
voted present.
The war finance corporation bill has
been shorn of MANY of the features
which rendered it open to criticism in
the course of the senate debate. Dur
ing its earlier consideration these
fundamental changes included the
elimination of the section which made
infraction of the rules and regulation.

GERMANS WARN NEUTRALss.
Regard Transfer of Ships to United
States as Acts of Hostility.

AMSTERDAM, March Sin an obvi-
ously inspired article the scmi-otlicial
Norddeutsche Allgemeinc Ieitung warns
neutral states in connection with the ne
gotiations by the United States to ac-
quirc neutral tonnage. ard argues that
vessels SO acquired assume q hostile
character and must he treated as such
no matter whether the tonnage is en-
ploycd within or without the barred
zone.
The paper contends that such trans
fer of tonnage by neutrals is tanta-
mount to indirect participation in eco
monte warfare against Germany and in
wolves serious danger of complications
'as already shown in the history Of the
United States during the present war.
1t adds that participation by ncutrals
in such negotiations is an act hardly
consonant with neutrality

u. S. MAY BUILD TANKERS.
Plan Under Consideration to Bring Mex
lean Oil to American Ports.

WASHINGTON, March S-The ship
ping board has under consideration a
plan for building several oil tankers to
bring Mexican oil TO Southern ports
where it would be most available for
rail shipment in the United States. The
need for such vessels has been the sub
iect of conferences between Chairman
Hurley and Mark l.. Requa, oil admins
traitor.
Most of the tankers plying out of
Mexican ports are British vessels carry
ing supplies to tho allies. The British
government Is not in position to permit
the withdrawal OF any vessels from this
trade and it is probable the shipping
board once it begins to make Roadway
on the building program in the race with
German submarines will turn out this
fleet of tankcrs.

Yesterday Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor

situation as follows:
"Thc Germans have transferred thirty

taking into account the whole allied front

DECISION IN SOMERS- STEAD INJUNCTION
Judge Waller Sets Aside and Dsolves the Injunction That Was Issued Against Stead and Morey-Suit to Come to Trial in Superior Court in September.

On Thursday, Judge Charles B.
 Waller rendered decision in the in- junction and damage suit of William A. Somers, owner, and Constantine Gianacopolous and Ulysses J. Sake laridis, tenants, of the Somers block on Franklin square. The defendants in the case, in whose favor the de- cision is now given. are George O. Stead, owner, and Patrick J. Morley, tenant Of the, Stead block. The case was vigorously contested by the par ties before Judge Waller, and created Ruch interest on the part of the pub lie and property owners. The conten- tion related to the title to the brick wall between the Somers property and the Stead property that adjoin each Cther In the wall there are two chimneys, and the Somers tenants put the pipes of their restaurant stoves into the chimneys and use them as their own. Morley, the proprietor of the hat store in the Stead building, claimed that such use of the chimneys made an intense heat through the wall into his store. damaging his merchan- disc. and complained to his landlord, Stead. Mir. Stead ordered the restau- rant people to take their stovepipes out of the chimney, which they re- fused to do. Thereupon Stead, from his side of the wall, stopped the chim- neys up so that they could not be used from the restaurant sloe of the wall By this action of Stead the restaurant folks, to continue their fires, were obliged to put their pipes

into a chimney in another wall to the east, belonging to the SCmers prop erty. After that was done, both Som- CTS and the restaurant proprietors sued Stead for damages and obtained Ia mandatory injunction from the judge, ordering Stead and Morley to remove the Instructions that were placed in the chimney by Stead. Stead and Morley were unwilling to take out the Instructions in the chimney. and they both at once applied to Judge Waller for an order to revoke and dissolve the injunction that was issued against them. Judge Waller, on that application, gave the parties a lengthy hearing, occupying parts of three days. Each side claimed to be the sole owners of the wall and chim- neys, and civil engineers, surveyors and witnesses were called to sustain the conflicting claims of the litigants
 Judge Waller reserved his decision and later concluded to grant the ap- plication made to him by Stead and Morley, and he decided to revoKe and dissolve the injunction that required those parties to remove the obstruc- ton in the chimney.
 On Thursday Judge Waller certi- fled his decision in the matter to the superior court, where the original sui between the parties is pending.
 The case now stands to be tried anG
 decided in the superior court before {
 judge and jury of that court, where i probably will be reached and deter mined early in the winter.

I was told that since the States entered the war that provisions are plentiful again. Tobacco is rationed out to civ liians by card system. I believe sailors and soldiers can buy all they want.

HOME GARDENS ARE
 IN FINE CONDITION
Competition Keen For Garden Prizes
 Aphis Troublesome.

The gardens are al4u in splendid condition and indications point to a record breaking crop. Owing to the fact that competition is running so close for the prizes. 1t was necessary to take every point of a perfect gar den into consideration. For instance, two or three gardens were found which were more than one-half pota- toes. This is violation of Rule No.
 Under rule No. gardens were to be judged as follows: Plan of laying out and using the ground to the best advantage;" Absence of weeds; Frequent cultivation; general ap- pearance"; correct methods of plant ing"
 > Under laying out and using the ground to best advantage, correct methods of planting and general ap rearance, it was decided that a 50- foot mill garden should be well bal anced with variety of vegetables, planted in good proportion. This means that a garden should not have more cucumbers than beans. or four or five rows Of pepper plants and only one of tomatoes, etc.
 It would be quite correct to plant corn in rows about A inches apart and 24 inches between hills with about four plants to a Shill. Beans 1 should be planted in rows about IS 1 inches apart and onions. carrots. beets, etc, should be planted in rows about | 12 inches apart. Tomato plants about i 30 inches apart and cabbage plants about "A inches apart,
 Under general appearances, all rows | should run in one direction and un- 1 broken across the plot, without loss of space for paths. etc. Many plots were observed planted with beds of onions beets and other vegetables and this is not approved, it being a good prac- t.ce in wet ground only. Deep and level cultivation with only enough hill ing to support the plant and prop | erly cover the roots is the best ap- proved plan.
 The prize winning gardens should be entirely free from weeds. clean ap- pearance, well planted and balanced in good proportion and good harvest the gardens at 6. o'clock Wednesday afternoon, July 1T, to answer ques- tions

He interviews a million aire who has never been interviewed before. and he unearths a fraudulent scheme in q small factory town which is run by a big man, a sort of boss In accomplishing these journalistic triumphs, the Fairbanksian athletic stunts are continuously in evidence, including vaulting, sealing the front Of a building, battling a band of tn- I furiated factory hands, and the like.
