CASE OF STEAMER
KROONLAND TAKEN
TO PRIZE COURT
J United States Gets No Re
ply From England on
Protest Against Detain
ing of Steamship
Washington, November 3.—Acting
Secretary Lansing announced today the
receipt of a message from American
Consul Sprague at Gibraltar stating
that prize court proceedings had be
gun in the case of the American steam
ship Kroonland, detained by British
authorities.
, Ne reply has as yet been received
from London to tlie formal protest
made through Ambassador Page and
the request for the release of the ves
sel. In the recent case of the steamer
Brindilla, however, prize court proceed
ings actually had begun when the Brit
ish government ordered the release of
the vesseL
Consul Sprague reported that the
Kroonland -was discharging her cargo
of 1400 tons of copper and 300 bar
rels of lubricating oil. The reason for
this was not given. State department
officials will await a formal reply from
London before making further repre
sentations. Inasmuch as copper and oil
were placed on the contraband list aft
er the Kroonland sailed, the American
government probably will contend that
the vessel has « right to deliver her
cargo. It is thought in some quarters,
however, that the Kroonland may have
discharged the copper and oil as a re
cult of the offer of the British govern
ment to buy it.
While the consul’s dispatch made no
mention of the Kroonland’s 1200 pas
sengers. it is believed that if the ves
' sel discharges her cargo for consider
ation by the prize court she may be al
lowed in the meantime to proceed to
Italy and Greece with her neutral pas
sengers. German and Austrian reserv
ists, reported on board, yvould be taken
off as prisoners of war.

SCOUT IVEY IS
Collides With Negro Woman
at Third Avenue and
Ninth Street
As Motorcycle Scout W. D. Ivey was
coming west on Third avenue and
Ninth street about 8:50 o’clock last
flight a street car passed him going
3ast and immediately behind the car
came a negro man and womun. Scout
tvey attempted vainly to pass between
the two negroes, but the negro worn
in, Josie Askew, became bewildered
ind jumped in front of the officer’s
nachine. There was a frightful col
lision and the woman was hurled to
)ne side, while Ivey, who is a brawny
six-footer, went crashing head first
nto the curbing, suffering painful
3ruiaes.
Shaw’s ambulance was summoned by
B. I). Hicks, Ivey’s partner, and the
Injured officer was removed to the Bir
mingham infirmary, where the cuts on
ils head were sewed up. It was stated
hat while his injuries were serious
;hey were not of a fatal character.
The negro woman was taken to St.
Vincent’s hospital, where it was stated
that she had been badly shaken up and
would be able to leave the infirmary
n a few duys.
Regret was expressed at police head
quarters last night about the accident
to Ivey, who is one of the most pop
ular members of the force. Mr. Ivey,
it will he remembered, has only just
recently recovered from a very seri
3iis motorcycle accident while on ac
tive duty which necessitated placing
tiis leg in a plaster cast for three
months. He is still limping from that
iccident.

he pair flitted to parts unknown.
From Alabama City th* grieving hus

lecrees on what will happen to friend
3ick when he is captured and returned
:o the native heath. However, according
o the local detective department, Dick
roshar and Annie Kowolick are keeping

jxpensive luxury as a wife in these days
3f alleged business depression."
personalT

known detective, was taken to St. Vin
cent’s hospital yesterday morning,

SOME STEAM HEAT
"Miss Fancy,”, the children's elephant
, al the soo, wants steam heat In her homo
i on the hill overlooking the wading pool
at Avondale. The lady elephant has been
vigo-ous In her protests against the old
fasluoned coal stove the past week, twice
turning the fire container upside down
and one time disjointing It. Each lime
the stove was replaced, satdrday the
occasion of her secon protest, she per
mitted the stove ♦? remain In an upright
position, after Keeper Allen had repaired
the damage, preferring to have a neat
home for her Sunday callers.
And there were many who called yes
terday. The day was not exactly of tne
Indian summer variety, but It was warm
and hundreds of people flocked to the zoo,
bringing the kiddles along to enjoy the
afternoon hours. "Miss Fancy” received
many peanuts, some popcorn and an oc
casional apple during the afternoon.
She forsook the little ones, however,
when Keeper Allen appeared on the scene
about 5 o'clock with her evening meal of
oats and bran mixed with warm water
and a little salt. She hurriedly ate tho
' j two gallon mixture, rolling It up Into
1 balle about the size of the regulation

WEIL AND HERALD
AGREE ON ELECTION
A remarkable similarity in election fore
casts has come to light in the forecasts
made by the New York Herald and the
one by Marcus Weil of Birmingham, the
popular clothing store man. whose elec
tion predictions at times are so accurate
as to approach the uncanny.
The comparison of the two forecasts
on the future membership of Congress is
as follows, the New York Herald’s just
being received here and Mr. Weil’s being
published in The Age-Herald about a
week ago:
Herald. Weil.
228 .Democrats. 227
203 .Republicans. 203
4 .Progressives. 6
The Herald probably spent $50,000 gath
ering data for its forecast. As will be
seen it gives one more democrat in Con
gress than Mr. Weil and one less progres
sive. agreeing with him as to the num
ber of republicans which will be elected.
AMUSEMENTS
“Peg o' My Heart”
"Peg o’ My Heart,” which comes to
the Jefferson for three nights, commenc
ing Monday, with matinee Wednesday,
is made reltphabie because It differs from
the usual dialogue and situations of the
average plays. This play dealing with
youth, simplicity and love, is filled with
gusts of laughter. The action of the piece
takes place in England.
“The Ham Tree”
John Cort’s revival of "The Ham Tree,”
with McIntyre and Heath again in their
positions as black faced stars, will be
the attractions at the Jefferson theatre,
matinee and night, Thursday of this
v'eek. The story of "The Ham Tree" is
simple enough. These entertainers are
featured as two stranded minstrels at an
cut of the way railway junction, with
nothing in sight but a water tank, 300
miles from where they started. One of :
them is a pessimist, the other an optimist.
The scenes are screamingly funny, and
cause many tears to flow, but not through
sadness. For three acte they represent
the genuine comedy of the old-time south
ern darky, in the Inimitable manner which i
won them fame. Seats on sale Tuesday.
“Mutt and Jeff in Mexico”
"Mutt and Jeff in Mexico” comes to
tile Jefferson theatre Friday and Satur
day and Saturday matinee. In every de- -
tail this offering, It Is said, eclipses either 1
of the former productions under the same
title. In fact, it is claimed that it Is big
ger and better than both combined.
