Fryatt's Death Defended
German Says War Usage Was

BERLIN, April 3.-(By The Associat-
ed Press).-At the continuation to-day
of the investigation into the execution
of the British merchant marine cap
tain, Charles Fryatt. by the Germans
in 1916. Professor Shocking, a men,
ber of the investigating commission,

verdict of death was based, declared
there was no obligation under interna-
tional law to grant the request of the
American Embassy to appoint a de-
fender for Captain Fryatt. The For
eign Office. Professor Shuecking said
made endeavors in this direction, but
various circumstances rendered such

25O Carloads of
Eggs ggs Are Bought
Here for Export
Local Market Is Cleaned
Out and Prices Certain
to Go Up, Say Experts;
No Change in Meat Cost

More than two hundred and fifty
carloads of eggs have been purchased
for export during the last two days
Food market experts declared that this
withdrawal, which amounts to 100000
eases or 100000 dozen, will result in
an increase in price here.
For the last three weeks the price
of eggs has been fairly stationary at
about az and 43 cents. The lack Of sur
plus fresh eggs will cause merchants
rent supply.
Fifty carloads were reported in the
Daily Market Reports as having
brought 44f2 cents yesterday. These
were graded, the small and broken ones
eliminated, and consequently brought
more than the prevailing quotation
The price of two hundred carloads sold
for export varied with quality. Most
of them will be shipped to England.
The removal of the food administra-
tion's regulations of the packing in
dustry has not yet been reflected by
marked fluctuations in the price of
meats. Food market experts declared
yesterday that the packers have the
situation so we'll in hand that no re-
ductions will result
1t was brought out yesterday that
great losses are threatening produce
firms with large stores Of fish on hand.
The government market report shows
that 73,956,792 pounds of frozen sh
are being held in storage, although the
supply Of fresh fish is growing daily.
"The belief that the submarines
would make deep sea fishing impossi-
ble," food expert said yesterday, lied
the controlling firms to hold supplies,
letting out only very small amount
at a time. Then came the armistce
and an open winter, giving them no
opportunity to release their holdings
without weakening the market"
The onion price, in view of the ap-
preaching Jewish holidays, advanced
from $3.50 a hundred pounds at whole
sale to $3.50 within the past four days
The dealers are taking advantage Of
the fact that the Jews consider onions
essential during the holidays and will
pay any price demanded
