REFUSAL WAS NO SURPRISE FOR WILLIAM Former Emperor Had Ex-

. pected to be Protected by Holland Hague Thinks Decision is Final. expecteFby PEOPLE

(By Associated Press) AMERONGEN, Jan. 24. Former emperor William of Germany was not surprised by the formal refusal of the Dutch government to comply with the tallied demand for his surrender, it was declared today at Bentinck castle, where the ex-ruler makes his home. Kewa of the decision was first communicated to the castle by the Associated Press correspondent here. A refusal of extradition had been expected from the first, the correspondent was told, but the castle's residents had never been officially informed that such a decision had been or would be reached. tfr THE HAGUE, Jan. 24. While there may be a future exchange of notes with reference to the allied demand .for surrender of the former German -emperor, the government of the Netherlands is declared inclined to the belief that its decision will be considered as final, Tho Dutch press does not expect tiny belligerent action by the allied powers, and the government is believed to share this view, on the theory that the demand for the former Jnonarch'a extradition was made merely to satisfy some political clamor In the allied states and was not intended to be pressed by the statesmen who signed it. The Dutch people are not particularly happy that the ex-emperor sought Tefuge here, but so far as press comment can indicate, the government's refusal to surrender him was what the people expected and wanted. The reference to the league of nations in the reply to the entente, was explained to the correspondent today ly a high official as meaning that

Holland considers the former emperor's case beyond even the power of the league of nations tribunal, as no league law covering his case was in effect at the time his alleged crimes were committed. PARIS, v Jan. 24 Conferences between premters of ' Great" 'Britain, France and Italy will be held, before j th next move In the proceedings tb. extradite former Emperor William from Holland Is decided upon, according to information given The Associated Press by the French foreign office. Whether the next demand for surrender will be directed to The j Hague or Berlin will be the main subffject to be determined. The next meeting will be held in London, but as no date has been fixed and the matter cannot be left pending a long time, the foreign office expressed the opinion that the quest'on might be settled through diplomatic channels between Rome, Paris and London. It is understood that at least one premier is not averse to

Bsking Berlin to call for the return of j ('ount Hohenzollern to Germany and i then demanding that Germany deliver iim oveF to the allies in accordance I with provisions of Article 2-8 of the j treaty of Versailles. j

Sentiment in influential circles here ds against such procedure, as there is Iio desire that the former emperor return to Germany. PARIS, Jan. 24 Although already discounted, the refusal of Holland to surrender former Emperor William of tJermany to the allies has been given fL mixed reception by the newspapers Jiere. Writing in the Echo de Paris, 'Pertinax" says he regards the punishment of Count Hohenzollern as a question vf sentiment. COLEMAN BUYS ALL OF NINTH ST.

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Jan. 24 Dr. Earl C. Carr, senior grade lieutenant in charge of the main laboratory at the Great Lakes Naval training station has isolated the influenza germ, he announced today. "It is the real influenza bacillus discovered by Pfieffer in England," Dr. Carr said. "I took the sputum from a person near death from influenza, washed it in a salt solution, plated it on blood media, picked out the influenza bacillus colonies and transferred them to a separate media. There can be no doubt about it. "The bacillus is very small about one-fourth the size of the tuberculosis bacillu9 it is non-motile and grows

in clumps. The presence of this bacillus makes people just as sick as they were last year and in my opinion the death rate per thousand cases is as high. There are not, however, as many cases as there were last year." Captain C. A. Butler, head of the Station laboratory, supervised Dr. Carr's work.

A. E. F. MEN, POWHATAN

PASENGERS REACH N, Y.

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 24. Bringing

safely back to port the 271 passengers of the luckless transport Powhatan as well as the last contingent of Amer

ican troops in France, the transport N.rthern Pacific docked at Hoboken today.

Although they suffered from the

colu while the leaking Powhatan was

tossed about on a raging, storm swept sea, far off the Novia Scotian coast, the passengers here bore their dis

comfort without complaint and were

r'her Inclined to treat It as a lark.

Only one of them was ill when the

Northern Pacific reached her pier. That was Mrs. John A. Warden, of McKinney, Tex., who is suffering from a light attack of pneumonia.

The transfer of the passengers.

who included 11 women and 8 children, was made without incident or accident late Taursday. Advantage was taken of the first calm sea after the vessel sprang a leak last Sunday.

The civilians on the disabled trans

port were praised for their calmness and courage by the army officers who were their fellow passengers. The

pluck of the women was praised espe

cially. Take Storm Well. When the water rose until It flooded the engines, putting out the fire and leaving the ship without heat or

light, with a tempest raging, the pass

engers took their discomforts phls-

pphically.

Reports taken to Halifax by the British steamer Bardic that 8 lives had been lost in an attempt to transTor the passengers were without foundation. Not a life was lost and no one was injured. All the way up the bay from quarantine the Northern Pacific was greeted as a rescue ship and every craft in te harbor whistled a welcome to her. The rails of the transport were lined with the Powhatan's passengers and they plainly manifested their de

light at being so near shore. The pier where they landed was crowded with relatives and friends waiting to welcome them.
