Cattlemen declared that these prices

BRITISH
RESTRICTIONS
ON COALING CAUSE OF
State Department Has Little
Hope of Securing Material
Change at Present,
By Carl D. Groat.
Washington, Dec. 6 (U. P.) Fresh
trouble -stirred today between the
United State and England.
This resulted from England's offi
cial announcement of a new policy,
which, like many others, hampers
American commerce namely, restric
tions on supplying ship coal at her
stations dotting the globe. The state
department intends to do all It may to'
alter this policy, but little hope is held
out by British authorities that there
can be any material change (for the
present
In brief, th new restrictive policy
is that England cannot guarantee to
furnish bunker coal at her coaling
ports except to vessels engaged In
lines beneficial to the allies. Otherwise
vaaaala tnav. L-TA frannantlv hava Haau
halted for aays awaiting- England's
pleasure about supplies.
England offers what she regards as
a perfectly legitimate excuse that
German Submarines have reduced th
carrying trad and England needs
her vessels for other than coal-carrying
purposes.
The united states has resented in
dividual detentions, but has had no
opportunity yet to formulate a full
policy toward th publicly announced
program. International law experts
doubted if the United States can ac
complish much more than putting-herself
on record la protest, though
everything will b done to effect a
modification, inasmuch as the situa
tion promises to grow increasingly
serious for American commerce, par
ticularly with the Philippines and
sjouth America,

FOR YOUNG SLAYER
NOW SEEMS LIKELY
Governor Will Grant Freedom
to Lew Torbet, Unless His
Plans Fail to Carry. k
Governor Wlthycomtee will sive Lew
Torbet a most acceptable Christmas
or New Tear's present, providing
nothing occurs to change the present
plan, in the shape of a conditional
pardon, on th eve of on or th other
of those holidays.
For som time friends of young
Torbet, who was convicted of murder
In the second degree and sentenced to
life Imprisonment October 1, 1912,
have been interceding- in bis behalf,
and they have been promised that a
pardon will be Issued during- the holi
day season.
Torbett. who at th tim"of his
conviction, was 18 years of age, sho
and allied Mrs. Margaret jtejiair in
her apartment at Twelfth and Stark
streets, April 26. 1$12. Torbet had
bad trouble with Mrs. BeUaire . be
cause of his treatment of her 16-year-old
daughter with whom he had
been keeping; company, and, according
to the testimony at bis trial, he rent
ed' a revolver, went to th house,' and
becoming- engaged in an altercation
with the mother, shot her. He con
tended in his defense that Mrs. Bel
ial re had attacked him with a
butcher knife but the knife could not
be found.
Upon his conviction young- Torbett
was sentenced to life imprisonment
by. Judge Gatens, be f pre whom the,
trial was held, and who said In pass
ins- Sentence that the youth of the
prisoner had been, th only reason
why the Jury had not found him
guilty of first degre murder.
The case, th court said, had been
th first in his experience where he
felt no sympathy for th convicted
man, because, durinz th trial. Tor
bet's demeanor had been mor that
of a man who had performed a hero
ic deed than on who bad committed
a serious crime.
It Is understood that younr Torbet.
under th conditions of his pardon.
will be subject to the ruardlanshlD of
a prominent Portland contractor, to
whem he will be required to report and
who will stand sponsor for his good
oenavios.
It la probable that th rovernor will
grant other holiday pardons and pa
