tag ease, but these were said to
have ao vain.
Germany's contention that the
commission was incompetent to
meet, or reach a decision, was
based on the withdrawal last
March of Dr. Victor H necking,
the German commissioner, who
subsequently charged that Associ
ate Justice Owen J. Roberts, the
umpire, had Indicated "bias."
After the decision, the German
embassy issued a statement de
scribing the commission's action
as "legally Invalid" because ot the
vacancy of the German commis
sioner's poet .Furthermore, the
embassy said, the only qnestion
before the c o m m 1 s s lo n was
whether to reopen the case and
allow further argument and evi
dence 'before a decision on the
merits."
The commission's ruling today
reversed the Hamburg decision of
1130 which absolved Germany ot
any connection with the series of
events which began when the
mammoth freight terminal at
Black Tom Island off Jersey City
blew np on the night of July $0,
11. That terrific explosion ot
2,000,000 pounds of munitions ea
route to the allied powers was
heard as tar away as Philadelphia
aad rocked the metropolitan New
York area.
The Klngsland catastrophe
came on the following January
11, 1017, when a half million
three-inch shells exploded after a
fire which started at a workman's
bench. -
Reversing the Hamburg deci
sion, jhe commission found that
both of these fires and explosions
were the result of German sabo
tage In a period of American neu
trality and were not caused by
spontaneous combustion or indus
trial accident as the Germans
ought to prove.
