London, Jan. 22, 10:05 a. m.— Lloyds announces that the Japanese steamer Kisagata Maru ITI, 2,680 tons, has been sunk. The British Steamer Baron Zmpill, 1,607 tons, also is believed to have been de- stroyed. TERSEE Germany Laughing at Brithin, London, Jan. 22, 7:50 a. m.—Ger- man rejoicing over the exploits of the commerce raider in the south At- lantic is unbounded, according to an American despatch to the Times. Captain Persius, the German naval critic, writing in the Tageblatt, re- calls that when German destroyers “carried out attacks in the English channel and at the mouth of the Thames in October and November,” Arthur Balfour, then secretary of the navy, assured the house that the British guard service “would be so chreful in the future that the Ger- mans would never venture to under- take such dangerous exploints again:” Captain Persius says that Sir Ed- ward Carson has been unable to jus- tify Mr. Balfour's assertion and maintains that “German light forces have made several \attacks in British waters and the Moewe II, a big rabove-water ship, successfully passed the British advance guards and reached the Atlantic.” “Our thought during the next month and five weeks, concludes Cap- Jtain Persius, “will accompany _Moewe and our hopes are with “brave crew.” The Times correspondent says that ‘the chief of the German admiralty staff, when congratulating Lieut. Badewitz, the prize commander of the Yarrowdale, asked if it did not seem a ticklish job to take charge of its 467 prisoners with such a small crew. | Lieut. Badewitz said that he left his prisoners move about freely and con- ered the situation quite safe as long as “one had a pistol” He also said that feeding the prioners was quite easy considering the circum- stances. $75,000 FIRE IN WATERBURY Phonographs and Pianos Destroyed by Flames—Fircmen in Building for Almost Eight Hours.

New York, Jan. 22.—Sherman L. Whipple, counsel for the house rules committee, in its inquiry to deter- mine whether anybody profited by a “leak” when President Wilson's peace note was sent to the Enténte allies, was busy in the fleld today getting ready for the opening of hearings here tomorrow. The members of the committee will not arrive until to- night or tomorrow morning. The understanding is that the inquiry will probably not be extended to a com- plete investigation of the New York stock exchange. The present plan is to call officers of the stock ex- change among the first witnesses and question them about the exact pro- cedure in the selling and buying of stocks. This information, it is under- stood, will be used by the committee | to guide examinations which will be jmade into all stock sales on the three days preceding.the publication of the note. The purpose in transferring the hearing to this city was to en- able the committee to get the testi- mony of brokers and stock exchange officials without delay if occasion arose to question them. It is expected that expert account- ants will be engaged to examine the books which the committee hopes to get hold of. This phase of the in- vestigation will take several da; OVERCOME BY GAS; BECOMES A MANIAC !Stl'l.lght Jacket Used By Police to Convey Stanley Works Employe to Hospital, Overcome by gas while at work in the lacquer department of the Stan- | jley Works this morning, Angelo ' | Genooese is at ‘New Britain General ! hospital in a serious condition.

Fighting on the Rumanian front has dropped down until operations are a virtual standstill, thus bringing quiet to the only front on which there has been ‘activity of more than a sporadiac nature since the winter set in. The Russians here are now well established on the line of the Sereth | but with the left of their position ip- parently none too secure owing to the Teutonic occupation of the Dobrudja bank of the Danube, over the Braila and Galatz. Today's official report on condi- tions along the Rumanian front men- tions only outpost actions, including the repulse of an attack by the Rus- sians on a Teutonic advanced positin in the Putna valley. On the Franco-Belgian front thece have been one or two developments of interest, including a German often- sive in the region and a British attack near Lens. In the former, the ad- vance made was a gain of French trenches northeast of Caurieres Wood. | It was pressed on two different occa- sionus last evening but in each case; according to Paris, was checked.

Washington, Jan. 22.—Blue laws of three states—Ohlo, South Dakota and Michigan—designed to |curb sale of fraudulent securities were today upheld as constitutional by the supreme court. The court held that authority e: ercised is not in excess of the state’s ) “police powers” and that the law is not a burden upon interstate com- i merce in the sale of stocks and bonds. | Blue Sky laws, enacted first in Kan- sas in 1911 with the purpose of pro- | tecting credulous investors against | sales of worthless stocks and bonds, have been copied in some measure in more than half the states of the union. Twenty-six states are said to have laws embracing the fundamen- | tal principle of endeavoring, by con- stitutional methods, to prevent sales | of “get-rich-quick” or ‘fly-by-night” securities. sky | preme court and argued together in October, 1916, concerned the consti- | tutionality of the blue sky laws of | Ohio, South Dakota and Michigan. | All had been held unconstitutional by llower federal courts and their en- ‘lform\mcnt by state officials was en- joined while the officials appealed. The original Ohio law of 1913 was |amended I'ebruary 6, 1914, by the state legislature to meet alleged de- fects of th South Dakota and Mich- igan laws. The South Dakota law of March 15, 1915, and the Michigan |law of April 9, 1915, repealing the jold 1913 act which had been held {void, were substantially patterned | { after the “model” blue sky law drawn by a committee of the National as- sociation of Attorneys fol- [lowing its 1914 convention. Two principal points upon which the Ohio, South Dakota and Michigan were declared void and non-en- forceable in the lower courts were* That they unduly burden inter- state commerce, of which stock bonds and other securities were de- clared to be instrumentalities, and that the laws exceed the states’ po- lice powers of local supervision. Fraud Preventative. The states, however, contended that the laws prevent fraud only and, un- like the original Kansas type of blue s legislation, do not attempt to iprevent unwise investments. Also they contended that the laws do not restrict or burden interstate com- merce, applying only to sales within | the states, and in preventing frauds upon their citizens are a normal, wise and preventative exercise of state police powers. Generally, the laws provide for e aminations of securities, prospectus and other officials; licensing of deal- | ers, and penalties of $1,000 fines and one year's imprisonment for viola- tior The Ohio law, however, ap- | plies only to sales within the state of securities on property outside of the state, the South Dakota and Michi- gan laws applying to both. Also, the laws generally exempt certain secur ties, including those listed on stoc {and other exchanges, of national and state bank trust and building and loan company securities; real estate | transactions, including mortgages; se- cured commercial paper. including promisory notes; and are said not to | restrict individual transactions. The | Ohio 1aw, also, does not prohibit mail | order sales. The twenty-six states reported to have blue sky restrictions are Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Tlorida, Georgia, Idaho, Towa, Kan- sas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mis- <ouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Tar- olina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Te: Vers mont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. $100,000,000 Toss Annually. In addressing the supreme court, the National Association of Attorneys General said the legislation was in response to the increased flotation of | fraudulent securities during the last twenty vears, causing loss of $100,- 000,000 annually.

New York, Jan. 22.-—Industrial pre- Paredness, universal military service, international peace, governmental regulation of immigration and com- pulsory health insurance were dis- cussed by corporation executives, labor leaders and noted publicists at the National Civic Federation's seven. teenth annual meeting, which opened here today. V. Everit Macy, the new president, is chairman. Memorial services were held for Seth Low, the late president of the organization, with addresses by Tal- | cott Williams for the public, Frank | Trumbull for employers and Samuel Gompers for labor. | The calling of a national conference to discuss the question of state leg- | islation throughout the country which | would require employers to compem| sate workers who contract occupa- tional diseases was urged by Ausgust | Belmont, chairman of the workmen’s | compensation department. .The en- actment of special statutes cover- ing occupational diseases, apart from accidents, would render sickness in- surance legislation unnecessary, Mr. | Belmonf said. Compensation laws | should be made to apply universally | to all employes and should not be limited to hazardous occupations, the speaker declared. Minimum Wage. Alexander J. Porter chairman of | the federation’s minimum wage com- | mission, announced that the national | organization is as vet unable to take | a position either for or against the minimum wage movement, in ‘the absence of conclusive evidence of the beneficence of minimum wage laws wherever they have been adopted and | because of the impossibility of apply- | ing foreign experience to American | conditions. { Minimum wage legislation presents | the same need of adjustment to | modern industrial conditions that is | revealed by other forms of labor_reg- | ulating legislation, Mr. Porter said, and state minimum wage commissions. should hesitate to fix wage rates until | they have learned more about the | fact of co-operation. | These conclusions were based, the speaker asserted, upon an analysis which the commission had made of | woman labor in competitive indus- | tries. Economic Preparedness, | The appointment of a committee of § business men to study the question of | economic preparednes including the | problem of conditions to be met after ; the war, was announced by Louis A. Coolidge, chairman of the Welfare Development department. It will consider also the advisibil- ity of organizing state committees to adopt a campaign to induce employ- ers to realize the necessity for caring for their employes “in the interest of increased productivity, if for no other reason.” Mr. Coolidge asserted that unnec- essary ‘“hiring and firing” in factories, ! due largely to unintelligent methods, loss to American industry and said the plan to appoint satte commissions was part of a movement to avert such a national waste in the future. Enactment of uniform safety legis- lation, a better enforcement of laws, increased numbers of factory im- provements and the establishment of safety museums in the principal man- ufacturing centers by state and fed- eral governments were advocated by Louis Schram in a report on the ‘“‘con- servation of human life in industry. Mr. Schram said the losses by acci- dent in New York state amounts to $40,000 a day and that the total num- ber of accidents for which compen- sation will be paid by employers in this state for 1916, is 60,000, includ- ing 1,500 deaths and 120 totally di FIVE DIE IN CRASH Eighteen Ycar Old Girl Fifth Victim of Collision Between Train and Auto at Grade Crossin, Clinton, Jan. 22.—Miss Esther, Fer- ry, eighteen vears old of Cambridge, died today of injuries reccived y terday in an automobile accident the Still River station crossing on the Boston and Maine railroad in which three members of her family and a guide were killed.

Shattering precedent of more than a century the president, regarding th senate with its treaty-making power as his counseller in foreign affairs, ex- plainied why he believed the time had come for the world to know Ameri- ca’s position and the underlying causes on which he believes a per- manent peace of the world can be maintained. While President Wilson was speak- ing directly to the senators after the . manner of Washington, Madison and Adams, his address was in the hands of all foreign governments or om its way to them. No such history-making event with such far reaching possibilities to the TUnited States probably has never been seen in the senate chamber. In the background of the funda- mental principle of whether the United States should allow the for- eign policy laid down by Washington and carried out by a long line of presidents was the policy that out of some such league of nations misht | come a way to end the present war. The president spoke as follo “Gentlemen of the senate: “On the 18th of December last I addressed an identic note to the gov ernments of the nations now at requesting them to state, more defin- itely than they had yet been stated hy cither groups of belligerents, the terms upon which they would deem t possible to make peace. I spoke on behalf of humanity of the rights of all neutral nations like our own, many Qf whose most vital interests the war puts in constant jeopardy. ‘“The central powers united in a reply which stated merely that they were ready lo meet their antagonists in confidence to discuss terms of peace. “The Emntente powers have replied much more definitely and have stated, | in general terms, indeed, but with sufficient definiteness to complete de- tails, the arrangements guarantees and acts aof reparation which they deem to be the indispensible con- ditions of a settlement. “We are that much nearer a defi- nite idea of the peace which shall end We are that much concert, which must thereafter hold the world at peace. In every discu sion of the peace that must end this war it is taken for granted that that peace must be followed by some defi- note concert of power which will make | it impossible that any such catastro- " phe 'should ever overwhelm us again. Every lover of mankind, every sane and thoughtful man, must take that for granted. “I have sought this opportunity to address you because I thought that I owed it to vau, as the council asso- siated with me in the final determ nation of our international obligations | to disclose to you without reserve, the j thoughts and purpose that have been taking form in my mind in regard to the duty of our government in these days to comé when it will be neces- ary to lay afresh, and upon a new plan, the foundations of peace among the nations. “It is inconceivable that the peaple of the United States should play no part in that great enterprise. To take part in such a service will be the op- for which they have sought to prepare themselves by the very principles and philosophies of th(‘_‘r policy and approved practices of their government, ever since the days when they set up a new mation in the high and honorable hope that it might, in all that it was and did, show mankind the way to liberty. They cannot, in honor, withhold the service to which they are mow about to be challenged. They do not wish to withhold it. But they awe it to themselves and to the other nations of th world to state the conditions under which they will feel free to render it. “That service is nothing less than this: To add their authority and their power to the authority and force of other nations to guarantee peace and justice throughout the world. Such a settlement cannot now be long post- poned. It is right that before it comes this government should frankly rormulate the conditions upon which it would feel justified in asking other peoples to approve its formal and solemin adherence to a league for peace. I am here to aim to state those conditions. “Phe present war must first ended; but we owe 1t to candor and to a just regard for the opinion of mankind to say that, so far as our participation in guarantees of future peace is concerned, it makes a great of difference what way and what terms it is ended.
