REASSURING NOTE FROM GERMANY IN FRYE CASE. an Vessels Carrying Contraband Will Not Be Destroyed. Ame: Washington, Sept. 23.—Germany, in a note on the case of the ship William F. Frye, has given the United States formal assurance that American ves- sels carrying conditional contraband will under no circumstances be de- stroyed, even though deemed lawful Frizes. The right to destroy American merchantmen if carrying absolute con- traband is reserved, but the promise is g.ven that this will be e only in case of extreme necessity provided ¥ _the Declaration of London. These assurances, together with the acceptance by Germany of the two pro- posaie of the United States—the one to Dame a joint commission of experts to fix the indemnity for the loss of the Frye and the other to submit to The Hague the dispute which the case pro- duced over the meaning of the treaty of 1828—produced a favorable effect In official quarters. Just what the practical operation of the new assur- arces will be, officials were keenly in- terested to learn, for under the lists of ccntraband proclaimed by Germany in retal ion for acts of Great Britain nearly everything previously known as conditional contraband has now been made absolute. It is not known as yet hat aattitude the United States will take in its next note, but it is under- stood that it may reiterate its insist- ence that the treaty of 1528 and not existing international law make Amer- ican vessels immune from destruction, irrespective of their cargoes. Germany, however, is anxious to submit to arbi- tration what the meaning of the treaty 1s on this point, and if no further cases of damage occur during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings the American government may be disposed to await the decision of the arbitral tribunal. D One thing which. attracted attention in connection with the German note was the evident necessity of submarine commanders under their new orders ta exercise the right of visit and search with respect to all American vessels to determine the nature of their car- goes. ) The fact that Germany referred to its desire to demonstrate “its concilia- tory attitude” toward the United States was regarded by many officials as evidence that the Berlin forelgn of- was disposed to avall itself of ev. ery opportunity to remove causes that have led to the strained relations be- tween the two governments.

Members of Kennedy Family A Win Prizes—Wolf Den Wins First Grange Award—Pickpockets Do Not Spare Even Fair Officials. Brooklyn fair came to a close late Thursday afternoon after two success- ful days of exhibition. The crowd was larger than had been expected by the management, many of those who had been there Wednesday returning for another visit. The attendance was not near as large as Wednesday, when there was near to a record crowd In attendance. Fine Horses Shown, Thursday’s programme included the exhibition of Dbrood mares, coits, matched pairs and driving horses on the track during the morning hours. In the matched pairs class the prizes again all went to the Kennedy family, Airs. Louis E. Kennedy, Danielson. Frank S. Kennedy. Dayviile, and L. E. Kennedy, the latter pair driven by Martin Burne. Practically all of the cattle at the fair had been spirited away before Thursday’s crow arrived. There were more than 190 head and 65 yoke of cat- tle at the fair Wednesday. It is dif- ficult for their owners to keep them at the fair more than one day, and they are usually absent on the closing day of the fair. Wolf Den Grange First. . In the competitive exhibition of farm products, dairy goods and other things between Wolf Den grange of Pomfret. Erooklyn grange and Plainfield grange, they were awarded premiums in the order mentioned. The reproduction of e historical wolf den at Pomfret was the work of the ingenlous E. E. Brown the expert orchardist, and was devel- oped on a scale of one inch to a foot. | The shrubbery used in the display w cut in the woods about the wolf der 1 Diversions for the Crowd, Thursday's amusements were provid- l ed by the Starrett animal circu: i Wednesday. Music for the day was by | 4 the Moosup band, which proved | popular organization with the crowds. | Many of the concession men who made | | the fair lively had-departed for other flelds Thureday, leaving the fair to less hurried competitors. In the afternoon the race programme was the chief at-!| traction. { In the exhibition buflding Thursday afternoon there was some bargain day buying and sellng of various things that. had been on exhibition. Some | bought apples and other fruit. Cakes and varfous other articles of food that were on exhibition were offered for sale and quickly enapped up by eager buyers. Pickpockets Busy. This year the Brooklyn fair had a yery much unappreciated visit from a band of pickpockets. The extent of | their operations did not become known until ursday, when a string of re- ports were heard of people that were | touched for money. From the stories heard it is apparent that the crooks did not get real busy with their nefa- rious work until well into the after- noon. Then they cleaned up in great shape. Canterbury Veteran Loses $78. One Canterbury man, 78, and a vet- eran of the Civil war, was touched for $78. The roll represented his pension income for some time past. He had the money as late as 8 p. m, when he went to a popcorn booth to make a purchase, and at that time was very careful in placing it securely in the mn where he keeps his money. A pton man was relleved of a wad of 353, and one of the fair officials bad his pockets rified of a little more than $18. Visitor Misees $20. John C.
