WILBUR LOSES APPEAL
ON LAW INTERPRETATION
is Held by Appellate Court to Have
Misconstrued Act for Relief
Of Contractors.

Secretary of the Navy Wilbur today
lost his appeal to the District of Co
1umbia Court of Appeals from the de-
icision of the District Supreme Court,
holding he had misconstrued the terms
of the relief for contractors act of
March 4, 1925, in holding that ANY
loss" in the first paragraph of section
8 means net loss on the contract as
d whole.
The department held that, although
as the result of the action of Gov
eminent agency the contractor had suf-
;fered loss Tin this case $1,100), the
contractor must show a net loss on his
contract as a whole to be entitled to
relief.
The C. L. Void Co. contracted with
the Navy Department to construct a
Storellouse at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, for
.$37,139. The contract called for liqui-
dated damages of $25 per day for each
days delay in completion. With the ap-
proval of the Government the contract
for steel was let to the Kansas, City
Structural Steel Co.
BY reason of priority to Government
work a delay of A days enSued in fur
nishing the steel, and an assessment of
81 100 was made against the company.
Suit for mandamus followed.
Justice Charles H. Robb, in rendering
the opinion of the appellate court, de-
,clares that the act is free from ambig-
Euity, and in using the words ANY loss"
means any deprivation and not any
met loss"

TRANSFERS" PUZZLE
STEAMSHIP AGENTS
They Prove to Be Rodents
Peculiar to China.

Shanghai.-A telegram forecasting
the arrival of 500 hamsters for ship
ment to Penang recently disrupted the
equanimity of the Dollar Line steam
ship offices in Shanghai.
The message gave no particulars ex-
cept that the shipment woule be ac-
companed by an attendant who would
look after the welfare of the consign-
ment. The official TO whom the mes
sage was referred called for the
freight tariff files. He searched in vain
for classification that would en-
tighten him. He called for a dietion
airy and an encyclopedia, but was I'M
able to find any information relating
to hamsters.
During the luncheon hour he in
quired of every one he met, What is
hamster?" Some said young pig.
Others defined the word as "a man
who sells hams" Still another was
sure it was "container for soiled
| clothes"
Eventually the shipment arrived and
| with 1t a letter Of explanation. The
hamster is rodent peculiar to China.
1t is larger than a mouse and smaller
than a rat. Each OF the animals was
incIosed in a separate cage The con
signment was being shipped to Penang
on Dollar steampsbip and thence to
be transshipped TO Camp Gauhati, In
Assam, India, to be used for expert
mental purposes in connection with
the work of the Kala-Azar commission,
which is investigating cures for trop-
ical fever. The rodents were shipped
by The Picking Union Medical college.
They were fed with cooked black
beans and were accompanied from
Peiping to Shanghai by a Chinese at
tendant, who saw that they received
the best of care.
On board the Dollar liner President
Johnson they were cared for by doc
tor en- route to Penang who accepted
the responsibility Of seeing that bis
charges received the necessary quota
nf cooked black beans a day.
