Although the state department so far has received from Ambassador Penfield at Vienna no forecast of the “teply, it was understood that unless some excellent reason for continuing diplomatic correspondence on the sub- jegt was presented no course seems to remain but to break off relations. Expecting Information. State department officials are ex- recting information about the reply ‘which might have been secured by Ambassador Penfield during informal conferences with Baron Von Burian, '‘Austro-Hungarian minister of foreign ifairs, The position of the state depart- ment is that there can be no discus- sion over the official admissions of the Austrian admiralty which formed the basis of the correspondence, un- “Jess Austria denies the accuracy of that statement. That, however, is re- garded as being extremely unlikely, as the admiralty statement was for- warded by the foreign office to the United States for its information, Diplomatic Rupture. Paris, Dec. 28, 5:10 a. m.—Uncon- firmed advices from Vienna, as pub- lished by the Petit Journal, say the impression prevails in Austro-Hunga- n circles that the forthcoming reply to the second American note regard- ing the Ancona incident will bring about a diplomatic rupture between the two nations. 'he Petit Journal’s dispatch, warded from Geneva says: “According to advices from Vienna the Austro-Hungarian answer to the American note was the subject of a long discussion Sunday night betwcen Pramier Tisza of Hungary and the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, Baron Von Burian. The foreign min- ister also conferred with Dr. C. T. Dumba, former Austro-Hungarian ambassador at Washington. {‘Although no definite decision has ver’ been reached, the impression in _ governmental circles is that the an- swer will bring about a diplomatic rupture.” KING OF ITALY IS REPORTED WOUNDED Alleged Monarch Was Austrian Grenade and Is in Hospital, Berlin, Dec. 28, By Wireless To “Sayville—A report that King Victor Emmanuel of Italy has been wound- ed by an Austrian grenade and is in a hqgpital was given out today by the Overseas News Agency, which des- cribed the report as “A sensational rumor”. The news agency adds: “ ‘“Travelers returning from northern !tfaly say that there is a general dis- fike of the war, and it is said that if offly the right man were at tho head of the government Italy would make peace in spite of the London agreement. ‘“Another sensational rumor which is generally believed, is that a gen- eral, who is an intimate of the King, has been shot for maintaining re- lations with the enemy.” for- Injured By v » FIRE AT BELVIDERE| J.

As a precautionary measure, Super- intendent T. E. Reeks of the health department today issued a warning to those who have sore throats in which he requests themt to avoid pub- lic gatherings of all kinds. At present there are ten New Britain people down with diphtheria, three of them having been sent to the Hartford iso- lation hospital.|\ This is the season for diphtheria, and it is advisable that those who have symptoms see a physician immediately. By avoiding public gatherings, people with sore throats will help greatly to prevent a possible spread of theilt afflication. A new case of diphtheria on Hartford avenue was reported to the health department today. The damp weather Sunday’'s storm of rain, wind and snow has brought in its wake an epidemic of colds and grip and there are many families affected. The re- cult is a rushing business for the doctors, Practically every physician in the city has cases of grip, colds and sore throats. One physician said to- day that present weather conditions are ripe for trouble of this kind. Both old and young are especially susceptible and fall easy victims to grip and kindred diseases. Skin dis- eases such as measles and scarlet fever while existing in widely scat- tered parts of the city are not caus- ing much worriment at present. So far as can be learned New Britain is no worse off than other cities in this section of the country. Press dis- patches from New York and other large cities in the north and east tell of a fast spreading epidemic of grip and thousands of cases have been reported. DISCUSS PROBLEMS OF WORLD-WIDE INTEREST Scores of Conventions Held in Connection With Pan- American Congress. following on Washington, Dec. 28.—Eminent sci- } entists, historians, economists, statis- ticians, archaeologists, geographers and others discussed problems of world-wide interest at a score of con- ventions held here today in connec- tion with the gecond Pan-American Scientific Congress. Members of the congress, which opened here yesterday with a joint session, separated today into nine groups to carry on the deliberations of the gathering. The question of highest importance that remains to be answered before the success of government regulation of public utilities can be affirmed, ac- cording to Charles A. Prouty, director of the division of valuation, interstate commerce commission, who spoke before a division of the congress on “The regulation of public utilitics,” is whether necessary pfivate funds can be obtained under regulations for the development of these utilities. He saild it was certain that the rate of return must be very much in excess of the rate at which the government could borrow money. for providing the same utilities and the question raight finally be “Can the people afford to regulate their utilities, or is it bet- ter that the government furnish the service at first hand ?"”" Mr. Prouty said the need of govern- ment regulation of the utility 1s due to the fact that the corporation fur- nishing the service usually has a monopoly. The patron who requires the service must pay the price asked. Hé said that since the individual is powerless to protect himself the gov- ernment must protect him. Secretary McAdoo spoke at the opening session of the section of the congress on transportation, commerce, finance and taxation. Secretary Lane addressed the mining and geological section of the congress. The woman’s auxiliary conference of the scientific congress held its first session today. Mrs. Robert Lansing presided. More than 200 women at- tended. Addresses were made Dby Mrs. Percy Pennypacker, representing the General Federation of Women’'s Clubs, and Mrs. Willlam Cumming Story, president of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Dr Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, was to have ad- dressed the division of education of the congress but did not arrive in time and his paper was read. Dr. Eliot took the position that too little attention was paid to tte training of the senses and he thought agricul- ture sholld have a prominent place in the country schools. FRESHET IN CONN. RIVER. Hartford, Dec. 28—There is a freshet of thirteen feet in the Con- necticut river, due to the recent rains and melting snow. Some ice is run- ning, but it does not hinder naviga- tion. The lower floor of the steam- boat dock is under water and tho steamer Hartford was forced to use the second story landing today for freight and passenger purposes. Transportation company officials do not look for a further rise in water of any consequence. I HERALD “ADS BETTER BU "WELVE PAGES. JUDGE HUNT DENTES MOTIONS T0 DRoP NEW HAVEN CASE Also Refuses to Strike Out Testi- mony Relating to Metro- politan Steamship Deals IN WHICH EDWARD D. ROBBINS IS INVOLVED Court Grants Motion to Strike From the Testimony a Letter Written to the Defendant Charles F. Brooker by John M. Hall, Former New Haven President, in Alleged Sup- pression of Trolley Lines. New York, Dec. 28.—Judge Hunt denied today, the motions of the de- fense to dismiss the case against Wil- liam Rockefeller and ten other former directors of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad on trial charged with conspiracy to monopo- lize the transportation traffic of New England. Judge Hunt also denied the motion to strike out the testimony relating to the Metropolitan Steamship deals, which involved Edward D. Robbins. Denied Without Prejudice. The defendant, Robbins was for- merly general counsel of the New Ha- ven. In rendering his decision re- garding the Metropolitan testimony, the court said that the motion was de- nied without prejudice to its being submitted again at a later stage of the trial. The court granted a motion to strike from the testimony a letter written to the defendant Charles F. Brooker by John M. Hall, former president of the New Haven in connection with the al- leged suppression of trolleys. The letter requested Brooker to make use of his political influence in Connecti- cut to prevent the construction of a trolley line. Trial Is Resumed. Judge Hunt rendered his decisions at the resumption of the trial today atfer spending the holidays in study- ing the arguments on the motion made by both sides last week. The defense then began the presen- tation of its side of the case, calling as its first witness E. Dana Malone of Boston, atforney general of Massa- chusetts at the time of the Boston and Maine acquisition. No Opening Statement, The defense omitted the usual open- ing statement to the jury.- It was stated that the attorneys did not ex- pect to occupy more than two or three days in the presentation of their case, Malone testified that he was called into consultation by Governor Draper in connection with the Boston Rail- road Holding company bill which, when afterward enacted by the Mas- sachusetts legislature in 1909, gave legal sanction to the acquisition of the Boston and Maine by the New Haven. Malone Drew Up Bill. Malone said that he drew up the bill. Timothy F. Byrnes at that time vice president and legislative agent of the New Haven, came to the witness office on one occasion, Malone testified, and made some suggestions in writing on the bill. Some of them, the wit- ness said, he adopted. He could not recall precisely what they were but said the modifications that resulted were slight. He consulted with no other persons connected with the New Haven, he said. The witness denied on cross-exam- ination that he had coneulted with Governor Draper or anybody else as to who would be president of the Boston and Maine, if the bill were enacted- Identifies Minutes. Arthur P Russell, of counsel for the New Haven and formerly cofinected with the old New York and New Eng- land Railroad when the latter road was independent, identified directors’ minutes of the New York and New England dateing back in 1881, and correspondence of James H. Wilson. president of the New England at that time. By this documentary testimony it was revealed that the New York and New England sought to lease the New Haven and that negotlations therefor were in progress until 1886. This is the road by the acquisition of which in 1894, the government charges the New Haven with suppressing its com- petition, Ledyard Takes Stand. Lewis Cass Ledyard then took the stand in his own defense. He de- scribed his part in the acquisition by the New Haven of the Boston and Maine. At the time the New Haven first acquired Boston and Maine stock in 1907, Ledyard said he was a direct- or of the Boston and Maine, repre- senting 109,000 shares controlled by the American Express Co. The first suggestion which came to him for the sale of the stock to the New Haven was from Richard Olney, former secretary of state, he said then a Boston and Maine director. On the sam~ -3y he got a letter from Gardi- stinued on Eleventh Page.) PROGRAM CHRISTMAS TRELE CELEBRATION TONIGHT Frederick F. Harmon, Director. 7P. M. St. Mary’s Junior Choir.

Although the walk-oyt has all the ear-marks of a strike it is not in reality such, according to both Treasurer H. C.

There was no disorder at the fac- tory when the men walked out. In an orderly manner they left the fac- tory and walked down the street in double column. Superintendent Herbert Johnson is out of the city today but Treasurer H. C. Noble issued a statement in which he said that he does not look at today’s action of the men as a strike In any sense of the word. He terms it a result of the Christmas holidays and anticipates their early return. Mr. Noble states that no de- mands have been made on the factory officials for any changes in pay or working hours and as far as he has been able to learn the whole affair is the outcome of a brawl between two employes. Some of the men who went out this morning were asked concerning the affair. They declared it to be a sym- pathetic strike, but said that wages | or working hours do not enter into it and they themselves firmly believe | that the incident will be closed in a day or two. The more conservative of the workmen, while they too ‘walked out, state that it §s but the result of too much Christmas celebra- tion and they expect to return to their Jjobs tomorrow. According to the foundrymen, t employes engaged in a fight late Friday afternoon. One of the employes, who is a piece work- er, had been in the habit of carrying his dinner and doing extra work dur- ing the noon hour. Last Friday, it is said, one of the other laborers came in and found that the man had made two extra moulds. Angered at this, he broke up the moulds and made a complaint to the foreman, Martin Kenney. It is also alleged that there was a scuffle between the two work- men. The result of the complaint | and the actions of the disgruntled man was that he was discharged and the ncon hour worker was retained. Yesterday friends of the discharged man demanded that he be re-engaged or that the noon hour worker also discharged. Foreman Kenney was given until today to do as they asked and when he declined they walked out. ' o a and J ! [ o o a ul di i} d h al J CHAMBER ISSUES WARNING Secretary A. H.
