Sir Edward Grey offers to submit such incidents, including the Baralong case, { to an impartial tribunal composed, say, of officers of the United States |fnavy.r The foreign office has presented to the house of comnions the full cor- respondence hetween Ambassador Page and Sir Fdward Grey conclud- ing the case.

A further affidavit from Larimore Holland of Chattanooga, Tenn., who was a member of the crew of the Baralong, was submitted. All the affi- davits speak of the Baralong as d guised and flying the Amercan flag. Savagery of Warfare. London, Jan. 5, 3:00 a. m.—The “Daily News” in an editorial today pointing out what it terms tencies in the Baralong evidence s it is possible, ever probable, that warfare since the sinking of the Lu tania and the Arabic s assumed a degree of savagery which formerly was inconceivable. “The Germans, says the “Daily News,” “have torn up Kkindly sea tradicion, and it is idle to expect that their example should be wholly un- contagious. When the war is ended it will be one of the most urgent and difficult tasks of civilization to re- establish them. So far as the German protest is concerned, Sir Kdward Grey’'s half ironical offer to submit all cases to an impartiol tribunal is a fair enough reply.” | | ank German Submarine The British patrol boat Baralong, according to several muleteers in the 3ritish steamboat Nicosian which ar- rived in New Orleans carly in. Octo- ber sank a German submarine August 19, off Lundy. The muleteers were quoted, gs -saying that marines from the Baralorg killed the captain and ten’men of the crew of the submarine after the underwater boat had been sunk, six of them while they were struggling in the water. Three Incidents, Jan. 4. § p. an, —The sinking of the White Star liner Arabic, the destruction of a British ihmarine by a German destroyer on the Danish coast and the submarine attack on the British steamer Ruel are the tliree incidents that Sir Kd- ward Grey, the British foreign secre- tary, suggests for submission to some impartial tribunal for investigation together with the case of the Bara- long. The foreign secretary notes in his reply to Ambassador Page's communi- cation of a memorandum from the German government complaining of circumstance alleged to have attended the destruction of a German subma- rine by the British auxiliary cruiser Baralong, that the three incidents in question occurred within forty-eight hours of the time the Baralong sank the submarine, Height of Absurdity. “His majcsty’s government,” the foreign secretary in his repy, “note with great satisfaction, a- though some surprise, the anxiety now expressed by the German governs ment that the principles of civilized warfare should be vindicated. It is true that the incident which sudden- jy reminded (termany that such prin- cipals exist is one in which the al- leged criminals are British and not but his Majesty's govern- s not for a moment suppouse that it is the intention to restrict un- duly the scope of any judicial investi- gation which it is thought proper to institute. It is evident that to single out the case of the Baralong for par- ar investigation Would be the height of absurdity. “His Majesty’s government is pre- pared for the present to confine any judicial investigation to charges made against German and British of- ficers at sea, and is even content to | call attention to three naval inci- | dents which occured during the same forty-eight hours in the course of which the Baralong sank the subma- rine and rescued the Nicosian.” The reply then mentions the three incidents already noted.

J. J. Curtin Fighting Bar- room in Abrigador District ‘Waterbury, never Jan. was a, time 5.—That there | in the history of any one now living when the lid was not off in the Abrigator district of this city until the last two years, was part of the testimony by Rev. Jere- miah J. Curtin, pastor of St. Francis Xavier church on Baldwin street, at the hearing of the appeal of James J. Sayers from the action of the coun- | ty commissioners in refusing him a license for the sale of liquors before Judge Webb in the superior court yes- terday. “I had heard of the Abrigator d trict before I came to Waterbury, said Father Curtin. “In my college days I heard yvoung men who came from Waterbury talking of the place. As far back as 1872 it was referred to as a place where the best fighting cocks in the country, who were never beaten, were raised; where the best nulldogs, Who were never beaten, were raised: where the hest men fighters, who were never beaten, were raised, and where a man would never be in danger of having a thirst. It was often jokingly referred to as an ‘oasis.” When I got here I found that the district lived up to its reputa- tion.” 1 Father Curtis was one of the many who testified during the afternoon for the remonstrants, the county commis- sioners, who refused to grant Sayers a license to continue the sale of li- quors in his saloon on Baldwin street on the grounds of unsuitability of place and person. Priest Star Witness. Father Curtin was the star witness of the day following just after Po- lice Sergeant McLean, who opened | the afternoon session for the remon- strants by telling of a visit to the | building at 34 Washington street and | the conditiohs found there. Father Curtin began his testimony by stating that he had been pastor | of the church for the past twenty vyears and had built up the parish to its present size. “During these years you have had occasion to pass through the Abriga- tor section quite often, haven't you, Father?” asked Atty. Coleman, who, together with Atty. Phelan, acted as counsel for the remonstrants. “Yes. In former years T through. there quite frequently and up to a vear ago walked through the district as many as five or six times weekly.” “Will vou tell the court what you have observed there at times?” he s asked. “It was about two vears ago that he began the battle against the saloons of the district,” began Father Curtin. “Up to that time I continu- ously noticed little children playing about the saloon in question. “There was a space near the saloon, a plot of ground., where, T suppose, the childten of the neighborhood had their only chance to play. I also ob- served little boys between five and ten yvears of age playing cards right close to it. It was the only time I had ever seen or heard of children so young playing cards like veterans. It struck me deeply and I often pondered over it. passed Children on Steps. “On one occasion, a year ago last September, I went up by the district | on a trolley car, especially to look over the saloons. I saw two boys coming out of one saloon. When I got to Mr. Sayer’s place I saw about | a dozen small children playing one of their childish games called ‘high spy’ there. I took the next trolley back to the center again and on the trip saw a number of girls and boys looking into the window. “I saw a little girl of about six sit- ting on the steps and a larger girl picking and heckling her and I called the conductor’sattentio- n to it, ask- ing, ‘Isn’t that a fine sight for any Ckristian community ?” “About two years ago the saloon keeper’s began to get cautious.

Continuing his testimony he said: “All persons in ‘the district right handy to the saloon did not have to ge out and get their beer. Mr. Sayers had several narrow escapes from being struck by my automobile he replied. to folks and were it not for the fact that my chauffeur is quite a careful driver he would have been struck “Sayers’ saloon was the most noisy of any. Even flat wheels on the trol- ley car could not drown out its noise. Tt was always boisterous around there that building waiting for tips and signals the same as any other saloon.” “Notwithstanding all these dire con- aitions, isn't it true that your parish has grown from year to vear?” asked Reilly in cross-examination. “It has grown, but has not increased as it should, because the people in my parish would have to pass through church, returned the witness. “You don't oppose the sale of liquor generally or a man taking a drink, do vou?” asked Attorney Reiley. “No. Not at all, as long as a man is able to handle it,”” was the reply. “Has the building of the fence about the saloon improved the con- ditions?” he was asked. | prosecution,” he asserted. “No, I think it has made them worse, for now they must play be- tween the fence and the saloon,” he returned. KAISER HAS CANCER OF THE THROAT German Emper No Longer Able to Speak Claims Paris “Matin” Notwithstanding Denials. Paris, Jan. 5.—The Matin affirms, notwithstanding denials, that the Ger- man emperor is suffering from cancer of the throat and is no longer able to speak. “In February, 1911, according to the Matin, “the doctors were consid- cring whether it was necessary to re- move the entire larynx in order to stay the progress of the disease. That raised the question as to whether the emperor would be able to speak if such an operation were performed. The leading specialists of every cap- | ital in Europe were consulted. It was learned that an eriainent surgeon in Paris had, with an artificial larynx and a breathing tube opcning into the | trachea restored to power of speech to cancerous patients, who had un- dergone total ablation at the affected organs “This doctor, whose name the Matin withholds for reasons of professional | was asked to go to Berlin by the German ambassador. He was Gffered 100,000 fra and all his ex- penses and was requested to bring with him a patient who had been fit- ted with the apparatus, so that the emperor himself might see if he was k. “Meanwhile, as result of a minor operation and a few weeks of absolute rest the emperor's ccndition improved, as is often the case in this disease, the progress of which is implacable, but | slow. Tt is another operation of this kind that has just becn performed. But it is only paliative. The German | emperor must cither make up his inind to complete removal of the larynx or be stifled by the grewth. “This explaine why the emperor went neither to Warsaw, Constantino- ple nor Brussels.” COURT FRIENDLY INSTALLS.

Joseph Ben- James Coyle Junior NEW ENGLAND WITH | NEW HAVEN R[!Al] { Opposes Prosecution and Has Re- pudiated It, Claims Defense York, Jan. 4.—Charles F. Choate of Boston, told the jury today, while summing up the case for the defense at the trial of the eleven former directors of the New Haven road on charges of the Sherman law, that the people of New England were opposed to the prosecu- tion and had repudiated it. “New England repudiates this “They will Lave none of it. The government put on trial where they were not known. You probably heard of none of them before they were brought into this court. The gov- ernment did not dare to try them in the courts of New England. contempt Justly Deserved. “And T say that the men who would dare insinuate New England, as has been done here, against the fair name of Governor Draper—well, T daren’t tell you what would happen to him. And the man who would say that Robhert Winsor is not an honest man would receive the contempt he ly deserves.” . Choate said that the ment, with all its experts and its secret service, had not been able “to produce one witn from New Eng- land, who would testify to a single act of oppression on the part of the New Haven.” Improvement in Service. The lawver dwelt at length upon the improvements in service which the New Haven had furnished to New Kugland, citing in particular the ter- minals at Boston. Speaking of competition and the New Haven’s fights with rival steam- Loat lines, Mr. Choate asked: ‘Are vou to sit defenseless and let others take your property from you?"” Outcome of Competition. “What is the logical competition? There is a weaker and a stronger. if you fight New violating these men in govern- outcome of And the government says your competitor till he | succumbs, then you are violating the law. And if you give him a chance to live and work with him then you tare also violating the law.” The attorney referred to the rail- road situation that oxisted in the carly vears of the New Haven his- | tory, with numerous disconnected lines contrasted it with the present “These men,” he said, “have felt. the compulsion of inevitable progress. The government wants all progress to stand still. They say it's a violation of the law to make headway. I ask you if men are to be fined and im- beca e they respond to the needs of the public?” IN PENSIONS. Special Bills Introduced at Washing- i ton—Curran to Take Exam. (Special to the Herald.)
