the lowest since the break got

JUDGE UPHOLDS GOVERNMENT IN
 TRADE REFUSAL
Ford Motor Company Ef- fort to Force Purchas-
 es Is Unsuccessful

WASHINGTON, May s. The Blue Eagle emerged with strength ened wings yesterday afternoon from a courtroom clash against the Ford Motor Company.
 Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue of the District of Columbia Supreme Court held that Ford is thwarting the recovery act, and that the gov- ernment didn't have to buy his products.
 Tt would seem unreasonable that President Roosevelt should be com- pelled to contract with any com- pany, no matter how wealthy or powerful, if that compan is thwarting the recovery act and de- flying the government to enforce it." said Justice O'Donoghue.
 Tt is not reasonable that the government should be required to deal with any company blocking this great act of national recovery" he continued.
 Justice O'Donoghue sustained the refusal of the government to buy Ford Trucks and automobiles for the Interior and Agricultural de- partments.

Brand Whitlock, Former U. s. Ambassador, Dies
 as Result of Operations

CANNES, May 25.-Brand Whit lock, aged 65 years, former United States Ambassador to Belgium, is dead here. He had been ill some months and underwent two opera tions for bladder trouble, the sec ond yesterday Funeral services will be held tomorrow.
 The outbreak of the World War in 1914 and the invasion of Bel gium developed a great humanitar- ian problem which focused world wide attention on the American minister to Belgium.
 This man was Brand Whitlock and his vigorous efforts in behalf of the Belgian civilians in the face of strong opposition by the Ger man military leaders won for him the admiration and affection of the Belgians to a degree only slightly less than their love for their fight ing king.
 Many others were active in rais- ing funds and food among the al- lied powers and neutrals for Bel gian relief, but it was through Whitlock's organization that such relief came to be distributed.
 Germany Recognized Him
 Trying situations without num-  Der confronted the American min- ister at Brussels, in resisting preS- sure of various sorts eXerted or at tempted on the Belgian non-com- batants. It was largely through the vigorous efforts of MT. Whitlock that the Germans finally desisted from the wholesale deportations of Belgian civilians into Germany for war work.
 The report of his embassy on the execution by Germans of Miss S Edith Cavell, English nurse, who was convicted of aiding prisoners of war to escape, caused many Ger man newspapers to urge that the United States be asked to withdraw him but no official action was talk en by Germany He visited the United States in December, 1915, to recoup his health, but soon re- turned to his duties.

Order read.
 The Federal Emergency Relief Administration is concerned with administering relief to the needy unemployed and their families. Each case applying for relief to the To- cal emergency relief agency should be treated on its merits as relief case wholly apart from any con- troversy in which the wage earner may be involved.
 Relief Authorized
 The Federal Emergency Relief Administration will not attempt to judge the merits of labor disputes. State and federal agencies exist as well as courts which are duly qualified to act as arbiters and ad- justers in such disputes. Unless it be determined by the National La bor Board of the National Recovery Administration that the basis for a strike is unreasonable and unjusti- fled, the EZRA authorizes local re- lief agencies to furnish relief to families of striking wage earners after careful investigation has shown that their resources are not sufficient to meet their emergency needs"

General Strike May Be Called in Toledo-Peace
 Negotiations Complicated

TOLEDO, Ohio, May 25.-With rifle fire and tear gas, National Guardsmen have gained control of a riot in the scared factory dis trict where two men were killed and 15O injured in strike disorders.
 The Grardsmen repelled brick tossing strike in nine hours in des- perate guerilla warfare at the Electric Auto Lite Company's plant.
 Being hard pressed, the Guards men fired into the jeering taunting rioters killing Frank Hubaywun and Steve Cyigon and wounding sev- eral others
 The rioters strengthened forces and returned to the battle last night. It is estimated that 5000 persons participated in the riot when at it's height.
 Prospects of peace negotiations are complicated by new devlop- ments toward a general strike in the city.
 Forty-rine persons have been ar rested by the militia for the civil authorities. The police said they would be charged with rioting.
 Quiet was restored early this morning. Many women were among the rioters and included in the casualties.

 The same policy was announced at San Francisco and will obtain in all ports where the strike is in effect, the Seattle office was giv- en to understand.

 Thus far the influence of the strike has been negligible as far as our enrolment is concerned" A. M. Young, chief engineer here, de- clared. "Longshoremen have been getting work regularly up to the present and I don't think many have yet applied for relief"
 The relief policy is predicated upon an order received from the Federal Relief Administration. The

YUKON SAILING P PREDICTED FOR
 SATURDAY NIGHT
Win gard Believes Early Settlement of Alaska
 Situation Probable

Confidence that the steamer Yu- kon, of the Alaska Line, will sail from Seattle not later than Sat- urday night was expressed today by L. F Wingard, Alaska Agent of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, who returned here last night from a trip to Seattle and Tacoma where he endeavored to aid in obtaining the release of Alaska shipping from the general Pacific Coast longshoremen's strike.
 T believe that the longshoremen will release Alaska shipping entirely within a few days. but, if they do not, it seems certain that the Government will do it for them,' MT. Wingard said. 'The authorities, State and Federal, and the unions, now have true picture of the sit- uation as it is affecting the Ter Iritory, he added
 MT Wingard left here last Sum day morning by plane. He pro- ceeded dlrectly 10 Olympla TOT q conference with Gov. Clarence D. Martin, and then returned to Se- attle to confer with the union labor leaders. He was invited to address a meeting of the strikers,
 which he did Some 500 heard him describe the disastrous results of
 the tieup, and his plea for re-
 sumption of shipping was listened Ito respectfully. Many of the strik-
 CTS. he said, are wholly in sym pathy with the Alaskan demand
 that shipping here be permitted to
 operate on a normal basis. He be-
 lieves an early settlement of the Alaska end of the trouble is in sight.

PARIS, May 25.-Reports that former King Alfonso and Queen Victoria of Spain intended to seek annulment of their 28-year- marriage, published yesterday in Madrid. were taken seriously in Paris. but scoffed at in the Vati- can City.
 Friends of the former King and Queen in Paris said that there is some foundation in the report, but the royal couple has taken no ac- ton because of their ages.
 Also, an annulment might have a bad effect upon the hopes for re- storation of the monarchy.
 Vatican spokesmen characterized the report as ridiculous.

 OF F|SHERM M FEN
Suggests that Hugh A. Wade Be Named to Med-
 late Tieup at Cordova

Hugh A. Wade, Deputy MIRA Administrator for Alaska, who left here by plane today for that port to investigate the fishermens strike that has the canneries of the district tied up, has been sug- gested as an, arbitrator by Gov John w Troy. The Governor has telegraphed the Fishermens Union, the packers and the Cordova Chamber of Commerce urging them to accept him as a mediator.
 This action was taken as the result of radiogram received by the Governor this morning from the Chamber of Commerce which declared that hopeless deadlock existed and only arbitration could avert economic disaster that would seriously affect the community.
 Legal Procedure Too Slow
 A method of arbitration under the Governor is set up by a law enacted by the first Alaska LegiS- lature in 1913 but it involves such a lengthy procedure that, were it attempted, any relief would come too late to be of benefit for this season. The Governor, therefore has appealed to those interested to accept MT. Wade's services.
 The situation confronting the community was depicted by tht Cordova Chamber in a message tc Gov. Troy as follows:
 Fishing strike Cordova area positively deadlocked, we having exhausted all local means to bring parties together. Red run already commenced and if lost this com munity, which includes fishermen
