PARIS.—German vessels bound
for South and North America will
enjoy all privileges of the Interna
tional commerco and shipping reg
ulations and will be permitted to
call at French porta, "providing
the German companies fulfill tho
commerce and shipping rules.”
This statement was made to The
Associated Press In French offi
cial quarters Saturday.
First among these rules Is that
a roquesT* be made for permission
to enter a port of call, which, it
was stated, was not done dn the
case of the German steamer Cap
Polino. or In any Other instance;
thus thero was no request and no
refusal. (It has bean alleged by
the Germans that the steamer Cap
Polino on her recent trip to South
America was refused permission by
the French to touch at Boulogne,
hut official dental of this has been
made by the French government.)
The French ministry of merchant
marine makes no secret of Its be
lief that thero Is a' question of boy
cott against French shipping at
Hamburg and Bremen, consisting
of refusal to allow the same privi
leges to French tonnage as obtain
for British and ’ other steamers.
But, it Is declared at the ministry
this question is not related tot the
reported refusal to allow Gorman
liners to call at Boulogne.
Attorneys for Mr. Simmons
based their contention' foY a re
ceiver for the News upon the con
tract which The News had with
Mr. Simmons and insisted that the
books of the Athens Daily News be
produced in court in order that it
might be shown by the book* of
The News that' the paper was
hopelessly insolvent and was being
foolishly managed. The question
was whether or not the contract
should be considered aa a lien in
view of the fact that it was en
dorsed personally by five of the
stockholders, officers and direc
tors. . - , , -
Judge Cobb strongly opposed
opening up the records of the com
pany for inspection and opposed
strenuously going into the affidav
its and evidence which had been
filed in the case. Technicality
after technicality was invoked in
order to sustain his contention, but
when the attention of the court
was called 'to. the fact that the
News had agreed to pay off all de
ferred payments, amounting to
around $7,000, by January 1st,
