States relative to the sinking of the steamer Ancona by an Austrian sub- marine was handed to Frederick C. Penfield: United States ambassador at ‘Vienna, on Tuesday, according to a despatch from Amsterdam to Reuter’s Telegram Co. The correspondent quotes from the reply as follows: “From the sharpness with which the government of the United States believed it ought to censure the com- mander of the submarine and from the firmness with which the demands addressed to the Austro-Hungarian government appear to have been brought forward, it could be expected that the American government would clearly give the actual circumstances <upon which it relies. As can be easily recognized, the representation of the circumstances contained in the note aliows numerous doubts and gives not at all sufficient reasons for blaming the commander of the submarine and the Austro-Hungarian government, even if the representation proves cor- rect in all points and judgment in the ‘tase is based on the most rigorous iegal interpretation.

Senator Works spoke on the ject of national defense but larly to propose as a part scheme of preparedness the of a mobile land force and military reserve of 200,000 men at a cost of . $50,000,000 a year for ten years. { The proposed enlisted men in civil and military reserve would be set- | tled, according to the Works’ biil, il A, personsilfg’wnh their families in comfortable whose statements it refers and to [Gisste tractaiprovidedliby fthe wov 5 - g gt g it el Bl ‘e!‘nment, supplementing ten months St ' of productive werk at reforestation, attribute a higher degree cf trust- |jrrigation and flood prevention with ‘worthiness than to a commander of |two months of military training each the imperial royal navy. year.

Outlining the scope of his bill, Senator Works declared a million fa- milies could be recruited from the tenement districts of the great cities alone and settle on homestead tracts in the west at a less cost than is now spent in the annual flood wastes of the Mississippi, and with two months’ energetic military training provide a reserve force assuring pre- paredness against invasion but also against the forces of flood and fire. NEW HAVEN ENGINEER DROPS DEAD IN CAB sub- particu- of the creation | Individual Legal Maxims. “The Austro-Hungarian government is“the less able to follow the Wash- ington cabinet in this unusual atti- tude as it in no way possesses a knowl- edge of all the correspondence having reference to it, The Austro-Hungar- ian government also is not of the opin- ion that this knowledge could be suf- ficient for the present case which, ac- cording to its own information is ma- tetially different from the case or cases to which the American government ,apparently is referring. Therefore, the Austro-Hungarian government must leave it to the Washington cab- inet to draw up the individual legal maxims which the commander of the submarine is alleged to have violated When sinking the Ancona. ¥The American government also thought it advisable to point out the attitude which the Berlin cabinet ia the before-menioned exchange of cor- Fespondence had taken.

TO OPEN UP TRAFFIC Mayor Quigley Directs Trolley (Officials to Get Busy at Once _— RAILS ARE STILL BURIED e Public Service Corporation Accused of Stalling and Waiting for Warm Rain to Accomplish Same Results as | Gang of Men. When the trolley situation was put | up to Mayor Quigley this morning he ’ immediately called up General Man- | ager J. K. Punderford at his office in New Haven and informed” him that unless the Connecticut company got busy today and started opening up the north end lines, the city would under- take the work the first thing tomor- | row morning. The mayor also sent | a note to the local office of the com- pany to the same effect. The mayor waxed exceedingly in- dignant over the situation here when seen at his office this morning. As the mayor sees it, the company is simply stalling to save money. They have only twenty-five men at work, he said, and can’'t get more because all they will pay is $1.90 a day, and labor is plentiful since the storm broke. Many men who work for contractors 6n out- side work were thrown out of employ- ment when the snow came and these can be secured if the company is will- ing to pay top prices for labor. “I can get men to work,” said the mayor, “and there are plenty of plows | in the hardware stores. Take it from me, unless they start work here on Main street tomorrow morning, I will open those lines with men and plows."” As to whether the city could collect from the company for the expense, Mayor Quigley was uncertain, but wasn’t worrying over that phase of the question. The mayor said Manager Punderford promised to open the lines and said he would get busy at once. Company Responds.

Worst in City’s History, Since electric transportation became a reality in this city more than twen- ty years ago no such blockade has been experienced as during the pres- ent week and the public long suffer- ing is beginning to wax impatient and i in many instances indignant. Up to| last night the traveling public was willing to discount a whole lot in fa- vor of the trolley company because it was believed that it faced a stu- pendous task, but as apparently little or nothing was being done to open up the city lines patience has ceased to be a virtue. In seventy-two hours not a wheel has turned on the north end lines. The North Stanley and East Main street lines went out of commission in the height of the storm Monday night and today the rails are still buried deep under a blanket of packed snow. Other Lines Are Nearly As Bad. An indignation meeting of an inform- | al character, but nevertheless full of pep, was held by Francis street and Belvidere residents last night and this morning E. O. Kilbourne, well recog- nized as a leading spirit in the north | end suburban community, was up and to the attack bright and early. Al- though he was able to obtain anything but a satisfactory promise of the de- sired relief from the trolley com- pany officials, Mr. Kilbourne managed to stir up things at City hall. An ap- peal was made to the public works department with the result that City Engineer W. H, Hall went into ex- ecutive session with Corporation Coun- sel J. E. Cooper with the aim of finding a legal crowbar that would start the slumbering trolley officials into something like human activity. Cars Running in Other Citles. New Britain is in a worse state to- day from a traffic standpoint than any city or town in the state enjoying electric ‘srevice. Other places were hard hit, but the officlals put some ginger into the effort to break loose and succeeded. Hartford, Bristol and Manchester were up against the storm quite as bad as this city, but they had their lines open and were operating on schedule yesterday. Here in New Britain, a city of 50,000 people, hall the lines are out of commission and at ; the present rate of progress will re- | main so indefinitely unless the weath- er changes and nature does the work the trolley company seems unwilling or unable to perform. It is now claimed that economical reasons are responsible for the trolley company’s * fnactivity. It costs money to dig out the lines, but if the company can stall along a few days more and the public will stand for it, a warm rain may providentially come to the rescue of the poor downtrodden public service corporation.

New York, Dec. 16.—The grand jury which has been investigating the TFranz Von Kintelen conspiracy to in- stigate strikes in munition factories will reconvene on Monday, it was stated at the federal building today. samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, will be the first witness called before the jurors. Gompers has notified the federal officials that he will be here at the end of this week.

Mr. Porter has been a direc- tor for many years and his attention has always been turned to the wel- fare of New Britainites. His has been the first hand to welcome the novice before and after his journey over the sands of the Connecticut desert. Many erstwhile novices, mindful of his charming treatment, braved the snows of last evening to go to Hartford to vote for his election. “Tom” Morgan, of Hartford, leader ot the Shrine band in the past, was last evening elected to the post of potente, the highest office in the local crganization. He has been popular and well known to Shriners since his affiliation with the order. The band, built up under his direction, is the best Shrine band in the country. Horace W. Eddy was the other New Britain man elected, or re-elected, to cffice. He was chosen Oriental guide, a post which he successfully filled for several years. several local men on the list of di- rectors which Potentate Morgan will ! announce later. There are four representatives from Sphinx Temple 80ing to Buffal They are, Henry Strong, past poten= tate; “Tom” Morgan, potentate; Henry Toothaker, chief rabban, and Mr. Porter. The Imperial counci] is the governing body of all the Shrines in North America. Inasmuch as it is planned to have the Sphinx Arab Patrol and band oc- company the delegation and there are several New Britain members of both it is probable that this city will send a large delegation to the Bison city | in July.

Billard Gave Him Personal Gift of $75,000 in November 1909. New York, Dec. 16.—There was no record on the books of the Billard company which would show that the stock of the Metropolitan Steamship company, was ever sold to the late Governor John F. Hill of Maine, ac- cording to testimony adduced by the government today at the trial of Ed- ward D. Robbins and ten other for- mer directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. This stock, it is alleged by the gov- | ernment, was transferred to the con- ‘l trol of the Billard company by means | of a series of involved financial trans- | actions engineered at the behest of | Robbins, for the benefit of the New Haven and then sold to Governor Hill, Testimony By Hemingway.

New York, Dec. 16.—The Bay State, Knickerbocker, and Merchants’ Lim- ited will not be run between New York and Boston today by the New York, New Haven & Hartford rai road, it was announced here by Ed- ward G. Riggs, executive assistant. Mr. Riggs said that the telegraph and signal wires damaged by the storm early in the week had not yet been completely repaired and while it is safe to operate locals or slow trains under the ecircumstances, It ,would be far from safe to undertake the operation of fast express trains. For this reason, he said, the Boston and Springfield expresses will not be put on again until all necessary re- pairs have been made. Thee New York Central announced today that adverse conditions caused by the storm have been materially improved, and all trains are leaving here on schedule time. Arrivals are in most cases on time, and freight is again being moved over the lines be- tween here and Albany, where the conditions were the worst.

New York, Dec. 16.—New angles to the baseball peace situation developed rapidly today, and the efforts of or- ganized and independent interests to get together on a harmonious business basis may result in far reaching read- justments of the entire professional baseball structure. Many of the players, who see in the proposed peace agreement the passing of big salaries | ana long term contracts, are demand- | ing that their status be considered in | any arrangement made between the various leagues, claiming that they are the real foundation of the game.
