A number of Connecticut men are here for the Navy league convention. They include Frank S. Cornwell of New Haven, former commander of the Connecticut naval militia; W. F. Mer- riman, of Watertown, who is here with his family, and others. Hartford has Bocki- us, Good- Julien, 2t 4 large delegation here for the con- vention. Other Connecticut visitors include members of the senior class of the South Manchester High school, whom lepresentativ Oakey took to meet President Wilson vesterday. They are sixty-five in number and are head- ed by Principal Tucker. The part has been seeing all the sights of the capital. London Harbor. Senator Brandegee says he will of- fer an amendment to the river and harbor bill, to provide for improve ment of New ILondon harbor. This amendment was offered in the house by Representative Freeman, but it was defeatd. The river and harbor bill carried when passed by the house several lo- cal Connecticut items, heretofore an- nounced and also an amendment of- fered by Representative Burgess of Texas at the suggestion of Represen- tative Tilson of Connecticut to provide for 2 survey of Quinnipiac river from New Haven to Meriden, with a view to providing a waterway for transporta- tion purposes. Mr. Burgess is chair- man of the subcommittee of the riv- er and harbor committee which has charge of New England projects. An official report from the secretary of war to congress states that the to- tal money appropriated by the federal government for river and harbor im- prevement work in Connecticut during the period from 1802 to 1915 was $6,- T“fl.123.81. Senator Brandegee of nnecticut today lunched at the capitol with Semators Lodge and Weeks of Massa- chusetts and former Senator Root of New York. The affair gave rise to rumors of an important political con- ference, as two candidates for the re- publican presidential nomination and Lodge a friend of Roosevelt, partici- pated, but these rumors could not be confirmed. New Brandegee Dyestuffs. Stnator Brandegee, who voted for the Lodge amendment for protection on dyestuffs to be attached to the su- gar bill, spoke briefly upon the pro- position, which was similar to the Hill on dyestuffs bill in the house. Mr. Brandegee said in part: “I understand. 1 had no idea this amendment was to be offered by the Senator from Massachusetts, and 1 am free to say I am mot prepared to discuss the matter extensively; but when the Senator from Massachusetts I stated that his amendment was the bill introduced by Mr. Hill, of Con- ! necticut, I turned to the Record to see what he had said ahout that question in"the house. 1 find here in the Rec- ord under date of February 14, 1916, on page 2897 of the Record, the marks of Mr. Hill upon this industry, upon its history, upon the various rates Of duty which have been im- posed upon these articles in the past, and there are certainly some most as- tounding statements in his speech, as- tounding in that they show the abso- lutg dependence upon—not to say ab- ject~subjection of this country to— Germany in this whole question of dyestuffs and acids and chemical products. “1 will read just one extract, which {s the testimony of Dr. Pratt, who is the chief of the Bureau of Foreign commerce, and is said to appear n page 202 the hearings.

When — = an American manufacturer has de- | Gieorgia Peach and Coveleskic Feature veloped a certain dye and is selling it in considerable quantities the Euro- pean manufacturers have suddenly re~ duced the price far below the actual of production, either in this coun- try or abroad, and hence the Amer- ican manufacturer has been forced to withdraw quite rapidly from the manufacture of that particular dye. These unfair methods of competition on the part of our competitors in Eu- rope would not be tolerated for moment under the recent trust legisla- tion except for the fact that those who are responsible for these methods are not amenable to the laws of the United States.’ “In glancing hurriefily over thls speech of Mr. Hill numerous instanc are given of the situation of our man- ufacturers at presemt.

If there is a similar measure pending in the house, it seems to me democratic senators might well enough allow this amendment to go to conference and if the house commit- tee intends to do anything to help re- lieve this famine and the extortion of our citizens by this foreign trust—for it at foreign trust—they can, if they choose, modify what we pro- pose and let the conference committee report out what may be agreed upon in conference and put it on a bill that will stand some chance of getting through both houses at the present se: is on. “Owing to the situation of the pub- lic business in the house, the amount of time taken up on contested mat- ters, T am free to say that I am not it all optimistic that any legislation on this subject which will be of any substantial benefit will receive any consideration worthy of the name on the floor of the house if reported out as an independent measure. I think if our democratic friends are as sin- cere in their desire to try to make this nation not utterly dependent upon a belligerent for this great ne- cessity, now is the chance to demon- strate it and let this amendment go on the bill and go to conference least. They will control both branches at of the conferees, and no damage will | be done by letting it go there and getting some consideration. “While T wish I were better pre- pared to speak upon this matter than T am, T felt that T would like to say | as much as I have said.” April 13.—Harry Covele- ¢, Jenning's star pitcher, made four | { hits yesterday, one more than he al- lowed the whole Chicago team, and Detroit won 4 to 0.

Plans for Tree Planting Discussed at Gathering in Mayor's Office. At the invitation of tree commission, a meeting was held in Mayor Quigley’s office last evening to discuss plans for Arbor Day. Be- the commission, the municipal sides members of Judge B. F. Gaffney and Superintend- | ent S. H. Holmes of the school board, B. B. Bassette representing the Com- monwealth Club; C. R, Atwood of the Burrnitt M on Rev. J. E. Kling- berg and Isaac Kanrich were present. Mayor Quigley presided and ex- plained briefly the plans for Arbor Day, the object being to plant a trees. Superintendent Holmes said the schools alw ob- serve Arbor Day and promised that | each school would plant a tree if the funds can be provided. Mr. Rossherg explained that the trees would cost a nominal sum. Judge Gaffney in- quired regarding the scope and plan of the work and said he understood | the board of public works favored planting trees inside the property line. Commissioner Volz said they are planted between curb and walk. Judge Gaffney was opposed to this method as it means the death of the trees. Mr. Kanrich said trees have been cut down in the fire district to facili- tate the work of the fire department and he wanted to know if trees were to be planted within the district. Mr. Rossberg said it was not planned to plant trees in the business district. The commission Wwill hold another meeting next Tuesday evening when further plans for Arbor Day will be discussed. 203 | ATTACK ON HILL 304 Comparative Quiet Prevails in Region of Verdun Paris, April 13, 11:53 a. m.—Calm the whole region of night, this morning’s official communication say Pre- | paration was made by the Germans for an attack on Hill No. 304, but the | attack was prevented by the French | from being carried into effect.
