(Special to the Herald) State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 11.— Today New Britain received signal recognition at the general assembly-— the first geniine business session of the 1917-1918 legislature. Senator G. W. Klett was appointed chairman of ! the judiciary committee and leader of ' the senate by President Pro Tem | Henry, H. Lyman, who also named the ! New Britain senator as chairman of the joint rules committee of the sen- ate and house and a member of the senate appointment committee as well. Representative Edward F. Hall was | appointed by Speaker Frank Healy as & member of the finance committee and Representative Richard Covert was given a place on the roads, rivers and bridges committee. As though these important appointments were not sufficient for the Hardware City for one day,” the local legislators in- troduced several new and important bills and the names of Judge James T. Meskill and Judge John H Kirk- ham as judge and deputy judge, re- Bpectively, of the local city and police court were recelved. Governor Hol- comb nominated W. H.

The appointment of Senator Klett as judiciary committee chairman was expected and in' him the senate places every confidence. Although Néw Brit- represented on other judiciary committees this is the first time a native son has been ac- corded the honor of being its chair- an. Senator - Klett's appointment as chairman of the joint rules committee is,also a most important one as is his position on the senate appointment committee. It is this last named naming of trustees and other officials at the J4nany state instituions. Hall’'s Appeintment Important. The finance committes to which Representative Hall was aprointed is second only to the senate judiciary committee in legislative impertance, it heing the ranking committee of the lower house. Representative Hall was appointed by Speaker We third member, Representati and Representative Bowers been appointed firsti because of their peniority, both men having served on the 1915-1916 finance committee. This committee will have much work this Bession, ag evidenced by the many fi- nancial references in Governor Hol- comb’s message read last week. Covert Gets Cholce The appointment to the roads, riv- ers and bridges committee was the one Representative Covert sought. The importance of this appcintment may be judged from the fact that six- ty-eight assemblymen also wanted to be on it. The duties of this commit- tee are just what the name suggests. 1v,ommlttees in both branches of | ]\ Resolutions and bills began to flow in. {CE‘he senate adopted the proposal of Senator Klett that Friday, January 26 GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS READY FOR WORK Governor Tenders Nominations for Courts and Commissions COMMITTEES ARE APPOINTED Hartford Electric Light Company Asks Permission to Increase Capital to $10,000,000—Miss Chency’s Social Service Plan.

London, Jan. 11.—The sinking the British warship Cornwallis by a submarine in the Mediterrancan on Tuesday was announced today by the admiralty. The seaplane carrier Ben- My-Chree also has been sunk. Thir- teen men from the Cornwallis are missing and are believed to have been killed by the explosion. The official announcement says: “H. M. S. Cornwallis, Captain A. P. Davidson, D. S. O., was sunk by an enemy submarine on the 9th in the Mediterranican. The captain and all the officers are saved but there are thirteen men mijssing and it is feared they were killed by the explosion.” Believed to- Be Battleship. The warship referred to in the Brit- ish announcement apparently is the British battleship Cornwallis, of 14,- 000 tons. The last previous reports from her showed that she was in ser- vice in the Mediterranean. Captain A. P. Davidson last year was in com- mand of the battleship Duncan There is also a Cornwallis in the Z-class: of the British navy, consist- ing of warships retired from active service but the fact that Captain Dav- idson was in command of the vessel in question and that she was sunk in the Mediterranean indicates that it is the battleship which has been lost. The battleship Cornwallis was laid down in 1901. She was 405 feet long and was armed with four twelve-inch, twelve six-inch and twelve three-inch guns, six three-pounders and four tor- pedo tubes. Her normal complement was 750 men. The Ben-My-Chree was a conterted merchantman of 2,651 tons gross. She was 375 feet long, was built in 1898 and owned by the Isie of Man Steam Packet company of Douglas. ot LOCAL MAN TO RUN TOWN IN ARIZONA ‘Walter Schmidt of Bassett Strect is to be Commission Manager of Humboldt.

Lawson that there was,a leak.to Wall street on President Wilson’s peace note.: Democrats and republi- cans disagree as to the effect of the committees action toward the Law- 'son contempt charges. say he was absolved by a vote of the majority and that the whole inves- tigation is over.

The opposing members also. disa- gree as to whether the inquiry is over. Republicans say it is in effect. Representative Henry said Represen- tative Wood has another resolution before the committee which has not been acted upon which the majority | refused to take up today. Merely Wall Street Gossip. A new version of the leak was ' given to the house rules commitiee | today by James P. Reilly, managing editor of the Wall Street Journal. A tip picked up, he said, by a Dow Jones reporter in Wall street that brokers' private wires from Wash- ington were saying the president was | about to send a peace note was sole- | ly responsible for the despatch fore- casting the note which appeared on the company's ticker at 2:05 p. m. ‘Wednesday, December 20. ten hours i before the note was published. 11:30 a. m., \ the he received the tip, Between Reilly id and the despatch of the item on the ticker, | Reill said, he received two mes- sages from John Boyle, the Journal's | { local representative here. The first filed before Boyle had received Reilly’s inquiry regarding his reporter’s tip, was marked ‘con- fidential” and told of the coming of some sort of a note and said it was not a peace proposal. The second, in reply to Reilly’s inquiryias to whether anything was available on the reports gleaned from the brokers wires, was to the effect that the reference un- doubtedly was made to the coming note. “About 11:30” Reilly said, ‘“‘one of our reporters told me that Washing- ion wires to brokers’ houses said the president was preparing to issue a peace manifesto. There had been rumors to this same effect abroad in Wall street for some time. I immed- jately telegraphed our Washington representative. I sent him a message about ~11:30. This preceded by an hour the filing of Boyle's confi- dential message, so the thing origin- ated in Wall street instead of coming from Washington.

As fast as it was decoded it was laid before President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. From all the recent press despatches from abroad, editorial expressions, re- ports of the allied conference at Rome and other events interpreted as indi- cations of the tenor of the entente reply, the sentiment prevailed here that while not setting forth the position. of the allies in possibly strenu- ous terms it would be a most cour- teous and, friendly reply to President Wilson's communication and would Lot absolutely close the door on an- other move on his part. One neutral diplomat had confirma- tion from a source he considered re- liable that its statement would be such that it could not be accepted by the Central powers without modification but will not preclude another move by the president. May Invite Answer, Diplomats were privately of the opinion that the nature of the sub- ject of another move by the president would not be out of the question what the character of the reply should heichoose to make it the accasion for one. It was officially denied some time ago that he had another madve in contemplation but that was before the entente had replied. Obviously diplo- mats pointed out, he could not contem- plate a move until he had their answer. The. same well informed sources that some time ago let it be known that at least another move was con- ! templated understood today that the president would not abandon his efforts for peace unless the reply was something wholly unexpected.
