Washington, December, 18—NMessrs. Allan W. Bradford and Chas. Nor- tham Lee of Farmington; Chas. W. Saunders of Forestville and Hon. Geo. B.

Cornwell of New " Haven is Chairman and will lend their energetic and enthusiastic support to the work undertaken to consolidate i and organize the overwhelming sen- timent of thinking people of that tate in behalf of measures of adequate preparedness. A special letter has ! peen forwarded to the gentlemen ap- pointed by the Navy League, notify- ing them of their appointments. i Text of Letters. The letters are signed by Colonel | Robert M. Thompson, president of the League, and read as follows: Dear Sir: In accordance with the instructions of the Board of Directors of the Navy j League, I am hereby appointing you a member of the Membership Com- mittee of that organization. In the present days of international strife and hysteria, we believe that it is one of the first duties of every good citizen to work with all his might to insure the provision of such o IN YOUR HOME ? naval defénses for this country as shall render our country strong enough to avoid being drawn into the maelstrom of war, or shall render it certain that no hostile army ever set foot on our soil should worst come and our nation be avoidably drawn into the strife. We believe that the and most potent of the forces working for adequate national defenses is the Navy League, and therefore do not hesitate to urge you as a citizen and a patriot, to lend us vour fullest and most enthusiastic aid and co-opera- tion in our work to insure our coun- try absolutely against ‘the possibility of invasion by a foreign foe. The Secretary of the committee to which you have been assigned will communicate with you shortly in re- gard to the particular manner in which yeur assistance will be of most value. May we not count upon you | to the "fullest extent in this great patriotic work? (signed) Robert M. Thompson. President of the Navy League of the United States. Great Interest in Country. Great interest “elt ‘all over country in the Navy League's sensa- tional campaign in behalf of adequate which has done so much toward the awakening of the American people to the danger of their undefended condition. The Navy League is not in any sense a militarist organization. Since its foundation more than fourteen years ago it has been foremost in the work for international peace. It’s presi- dent, General Horace Porter was twice delegate to the World's Peace Conference at The Hague, and in all its actions and utterances the League has worked for and advocated peace, but until such a time as the possi- bility of war is reduced to much below its present ratio it believes that it would be just as unwise for the United States to allow its navy to de- teriorate as it would be for a house- holder to allow his fire insurance pol- "icy to lapse because he disapproved of fires and hoped there would be no more of them. ‘Water Best Defense. The Navy League holds that this country’s best defense lies in the three thousand or more miles of wa- ter which separate it from the nearest of its powerful neighbors. Should war ever be forced upon 'this coun- try, the Navy League holds,, its bat- tles ought not to be fought by armies on American soil, but by trainea fighting men in ships, far out on the un- 1= the national defense CAPSULES M 1 pY shall | i the | best organized | | upon its rolls more than 60,000 mem ocean where destruction of life and property will be kept to a minimum, and the savage business of killing \will } he kept as far a ible from Amer- s homes and shore To this end it has ed a navy second to none, be able to guarantee always advocat- absolutely that no hostile army will be able ever to | effect a landing upon the shores of our country, and in this demand it be- lieves it is backed by unanimous pub- lic opinion all over the country. most effective testimony to the popu- larity of the cause of the Navy League with representative citizens all over s the manner in which its leaps and bounds within the past few months until at present it number: bers. Oldest Defense Society. The Navy League is the oldest and best organized of the National Defense societies. It was founded and char- tered in 1902, and among its officers and members are Admiral Dewey, Theodore Roosevelt, Cardinal Gibbons, Rt. Reverend Philip Rhinelander and Dr. Lyman Abbott, while many of | America’s most prominent women are among the members of its Woman’s which will | The | icommitted on August 18, when, jof Mrs. John A. aster. The offer, however, is not con- tingent upon its acceptance by all claimants. Mr, Betts said that all i\\hn accept the proposition will re- { ceive their proper share. If any | claimants do not accept, their cases will be carried on in the courts. The agreement which calls for the money to be deposited in a New York | bank, is now being circulated among | those having claims, and must be act- ! ed upon by December 30 to become operative. | JAILED FOR THEFT COMMITTED IN AUG. | { ichaecl Ward Is Unable to Pay Fine Imposed for Stealing Money From Mrs. Blake. Michael Ward was fined $15 and costs by Judge Meskill in police court | this morning, and this afternoon went | to jail in lieu of payment, for a theft it was he stole $11 from the home Blake of High street.

Of this amount approximately $5,000,000 would be distributed among merican claimants, $50,000 to Brit- ish claimants and $114,000 would be required for interest and expenses in connection with the numerous suits. Forty-four lawyers, representing that number of persons out of more than sixty who have filed claims { against the line, have signified their willingness to accept the settlement terms according to George W. Betts, around the city more or less, and only last month was in court and sent to jail for another offense. Yesterday Sergeant Bamforth was informed that | the man who robbed Mrs. Blake was | at the library and he arrested Ward there. Mrs. Blake later identified him. Ward stoutly denied the theft. Mrs. Blake stated that on August 18 she hired Ward to do some work around her house, such as washing the veranda, etc. He borrowed Mr. Blake's rubbers to do it and these, softening his footsteps, he sneaked into the house and took the money, it was charged. Two employes of the Beaton & Cad- well company, Steve Hill and Sam Davis, were arraigned on a charge of assaulting each other. It developed that there had been ill feeling between the two men for a long time and it came to a head yesterday when Davis objected to Hill showing a new em- plove some special work. Davis punched Hill in the eve and jaw and | the latter picked up a monkey wrench and struck his assailant over the head. Judge Meskill fined the quarrelsome Davis $5 and costs and discharged Hill Lawyer P. F. McDonough represented Hill. | HANGS HIMSELF IN CELL. Boston, Dec. 18.—William S. Han- son of Albany, N. Y., under arrest on | a forgery charge, committed suicide | jr., one of the line’s lawyers. The proposition grew out of the activeness of the claimants’ commit- tee, appointed last summer and fixed | the total claims at $2,500,000. An | about $500,000 would be paid di- j rectly to American claimants, Mr. | Betts explained that each one would receive approximately 20 per cent. of his claim. Under no circumstances, he added, will the money be distrib- uted pro rata among the claimants. If all the claimants. both in this country and Great Britain, agree to the proposition, the White Star line will be released from all further lia- bility growing out of the Titanic dis- Cold Breezes Cause Sneezes and warn you that you are taking cold.
