In other instances, returning rep resentatives assigned to such commit tees are not allowed to displace In rank members who served last year, Representative Cannon of Illinois, ' for. many years speaker, Is given sixth place on the appropriation committee. Year ago he was chairman of this committee. The other new members are Stafford. Wisconsin; Slcmp, Virginia; OlUett, Mass achusetts, remains the ranking member.

Chicken and Rice Placed on Grave of Wyoming Celestial ROCK SPRINGS. Wyo., Dec. 14. (Special.) A choice lot of boiled chicken, rice, apples and other viands repose on the grave of Bound Ock, aged 64, a Chinese, who died Friday. Full Chinese rites were used at his funeral. Including the scattering of . thousands of bits of paper, each with a hole In the center. the theory being that any demons pur suing the deoeased to his grave must crawl through each of the holes, thereby consuming so much time that they would be unable to overtake Bound Ock's soul before Its arrival at the Chinese para dise. Each person attending the funeral was presented a 10-cent piece wrapped In fancy paper, this being supposed to bring good luck If never spent, but evil luck If spent. The body was buried only two feet deep and later will be disinterred, the bones stripped and sent to China. South Dakota Must Have Special Primary MITCHELL. 9. D., Dec 14. -The selec tion today of June 7, 1914. as the date for the republican national convention by the national committee in session in Wash ington will necessitate a special primary in South Dakota next year. The regular primary in South Dakota, June 4. only a day ahead of the national gathering. The law apedflea the first Tuesday in April, which falls on the fourth, as the time for holding a special primary In case a na tional convention is called for a date on or before the regular primary. Thus electors In the state wilt choose their delegates to the convention on April 4. 1914, which probably will mean that t' other parties will namo theirs at th same time. American Government T.;- ,Ken Off Vf .allic NO LEGAL JUSTIFICATION Note Dispatched by Lansing: Dis cnsied by President and His Cabinet. TRENT CASE HAS BEEN CITED WASHINGTON. Dec. 24. The United States government today cabled Ambassador Sharp at Parts fors presentation to the French for eign office a note vigorously protest ing against the removal by the French cruiser Descartes of six Ger mans and Austrians from the Ameri can steamships Carolina, Cosmo and San Juan. Immediate release of the men is asked on the ground that seizure of citizens of any nation from an American vessel on the high seaa is without legal Justification and con stitutes a flagrant violation of Ameri can rights. The note was dispatched by Secretary Lansing with the full approval of Presi dent Wilson. It slso is understood to have been discusnrd by the president with his cabinet at today's meeting. Precedents Cited. Couched in friendly terms, Ue com munication states the American point of view emphatically and citlea precedents employed In the case of August Ptepen brink, a German who was removed from the American ship Wlndber bf the French cruiser Conde in November of last year, and released after representa tions by the United States. Attention is directed to the fact that the men re moved from the ships were not embodied In the "armed forces of the enemy" as that term is used In the Declaration of London. I tin asserted, however, that there is no Justification for the removal of subjects of a nation which is ' an enemy of France from an American ves sel on the high seaa bound to a . neutral port, even If they could properly be re garded as military persons. Recalls Trent Case, To support this position, it is under stood, the note points to the rule set down by the French minister of foreign affairs in. a note, sent during- the civil war to' - tha French nUnlstsr , to the i:nlff tatcUtifrar(t40vaeinavaUeAoB t ImpeaetomfBt-pf flnowden of the cci.ledorate Cotnmleaionera Mason and Slidell from the eteamshiik Trent This note, considered especially ap plicable to the present situation said: "It (the Trent) was arrytoff its cargo and passengers to a neutral country, and, moreover, it had taken them on In a neutral port. If it were admissible that under such conditions ' the neutral flag did not completely cover the persons and merchandise which It was transporting; Its immunity -would not longer.be anything; but an empty word; at any time the com merce and navigation of third powers would haye. to suffer from their harmless or even indirect relations .with one or the other of the belligerents; the latter would no -longer be entitled ' merely to require entire Impartiality of a neutral and to forbid him from Interfering In any way in the hostilities, but they would place upon hie freedom of commerce and navigation restrictions the lawfulness of which international law has refused . to admit. Note is Brief. The text of the American note, which Is said to be brief, will be made publlo when word of Us delivery to the French foreign office is received by the State department. . . ." Officials of the State department appar ently think the French government may see fit to contest the contention of the United States and that the men will not be released until further communication have passed between the two govern ments. This opinion la based on the as sumption that the commander of the Descartes wss acting in accordance with Instructions. The French ambassador here is believed to have been advised of the Intentions of the United States during; a conference held late yesterday with Secretary Lansing. All Greek Ships Commandeered LONDON, Dec. It. -The Greek govern ment, It was learned here today, has commandeered all Greek shipping In British and American ports in an effort to supply the deficiency tn food and coal which exists in Greece as a result of the entente allies' restrictions. The Greek vessels will be loaded with cargoes purchased by the Athens govern ment, which does not anticipate the same trouble as Is experienced by the regular owners of . the ships in getting these necessary commodities to Greece.
