NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, v1917. - CONNOLLY TENES BEING LEAK SOURCE Washington Broker on Stand at Todays’ Investigation New York, Feb. 1.—Discovery of what is regarded by many persons as positive evidence of a leak on Presi- dent Wilson’s recent peace note has ouded rather than clarified the Whole situation now under congres- sional inquiry. Persons in possession of the s leak information lost money on market during the peace note period from December 9 to, December 23, it _has been testified, while Bernard Ba- ruch, operating, he has sworn, with- out advance information of the presi- dent’s note, made approXimately $500,000, One of the chief purposes of the in- quiry having been to, learn how leak beneficiaries operated so as to reap gains the Investigators today ave greatly perplexed as to what shall be their next move. F. A. Connolly, a Washington brok- er and partner of R. W. Bolling, a brother-in-law of the president, who vadmits of having sent a resume of the note to E. F. Hutton and company, brokers, of New York, ten hours be- fore the note was publishe_d, swore vesterday that he did not profit by the information. Summed up, Connolly said he sent his information to the Hutton house chiefly to make a good impression on it and Hutton said his firm dissem- ‘mated the information among their correspondents throughout the cotn- trp for whatever use they might make of it. The committee today turned its at- tention to discovery of the source of the leak. Connolly swore yesterday that he could not recall the name of any person who gave him any of the gossip and rumor on which he based much of his message to the Hutton firm. . o Connolly yesterday denied that Bolling gave him any information, or that he talked with Bolling about the note until after Bolling had testified in the leak hearing at Washington. Conmolly Sticks to Story. , Connolly today again insisted, undér a searching cross examination by Representative Campbell, of Kansas, <that he could not recall the name of ‘one who gave him any informa- about the peace note. “I don’t know how I got these ideas; I think, for instance, something might happen now,” Connolly said. « Pressed as to why he took Bolling iAto his firm, Connolly said he had money” and he also “liked him.” His firm, Connolly said, was ‘‘mak- ing a living” but not profiting. “Isn’t it a fact,’ demanded Camp- bell, “that you recently laid out a great sum of money for an old coun- try estate?” *I laid out gave me half of the mon aid. TConnolly promised to give the com- mittee a list of all the persons trading in his office on the day he wrote the resume of the president’s message. He also gave the committee privately the name of a clerk in the treasury department who has been dealing in stocks with him. The account was small, Connolly said and “absolutely” -is {he clerk’s own. Only testimony presenting directly to New York being the source of the leak it was said would eep the com- mittee here after today. This was not expected. No otherhearings will be held here. ‘Witnesses will be called to Washing- ton to testify late $2,000 and my wife * Connolly ‘ RIOTING STRIKERS JAILED. Men Given Thirt in Meriden. Meriden, Fgb. freight handlers Four Days Each 1.—Four striking arrested vesterday for participation in a disturbance at the vards of the New Haven road weze sentenced to thirty days in jail aftér a city court hearing on charges of breach of the peace and allega- tions of being leaders in the trouble. The men are Joseph Shuljer, Joseph Verona, John Makoski and Harry Saf- ranovich. _ There was no recurrence of trouble Will Address Gathering Monday Eve- ning at Y. M, C. A. on “The Other Fellow’s Sister.” The men of this city are to have an opportunity of hearing, on Monday next a speaker who has established a reputation in this section of the country for giving straight from the shoulder talks to men. He is no less a person than Charles R. Drum of Syracuse, New York, who for the past few weeks has been drawing large crowds of men to his meetings in Hartford. The meeting will be in the associa- tion gymnasium at 8 o’clock Monday evening and the subject has been an- nounced as “The Qther Fellow's Sis- ter.” This is only one of the many i subjects that the evangelist speaks on | but all are subjects that affect young men and boys and brings them a les- son long to be remembered. Mr. Drum’s reputation as a speaker is known nationally, his work being mostly done while with the interna- tional committee of the Y. M. C. A. He was the backbone of the forward and upward movement that swept the country a few years ago. The Y. M. C. A. was fortunate to get Mr. Drum on this date as it is the only | open date between his Hartford and | New Haven campaigns. He was for- merly engaged in church work in the | west. This will be the final oppor- tunity for the men of this city to hear Mr. Drum before he leaves this nejgh- borhood. George L. McNutt, known as the “Dinner Pail Man” will speak on “Man and Machinery’ at the Sunday afternoon meeting at the Y. M. C. A. His subject will be of especial inter- est to workingmen as it will deal with labor problems. The problem of the high cost of living will be discussed by Mr. McNutt in his interesting style, Tickets for this talk may be secured at the Y. M. C. A. office free of charge. In connection with the meeting Mrs. H. E. Horton of the First Congrega- tional church will sing several solos. TROOP SHIPS SIGHTED Four Vesscls, Convoyed by ‘Warships, Seen Steaming East in Atlantic \ Ocean, Probably, From Halifax. New York, Feb. 1.—Four large steamships, having the appearance of passenger vessels and escorted by two warships, were sighted Jan. 29 off Sable Island, N. S., by officers of the Dutch steamship Zuiderdijk, which arrived here today from Rotterdam. From the fact that the ships were steering in an easterly direction and were evidently from Halifax the offi- cers said they got the impression they were carrying troops.

Diplomats who asked for Mr. Lan- sing were told he was busily engaged preparing something for President Wilson. After conferring: with President ‘Wilson for an hour Secretary Lansing refused flatly to make any statement or to indicate what action had been decided upon. Secretary Lansing replied to ques- tions: “I can say absolutely- nothing abput the situation.” Asked if he could say whether any steps had yet been taken, he replied: “I cannot answer that question either.” The view was taken in official quar- ters that the United States could not let the situation stand uachallenged. Following the conference between the president and Secretary Lansing, the opinion became generally preva- lent in official quarters that a break in diplomatic relations with Germany seemed inevitable although it was thought probable that an ultimatum of warning to the Berlin government might precede this action. The treasury department today is- sued an official explanation that ships had been prevented from leaving New York harbor last night because of heavy fog which obscured their mark- ings. It denied the port had been or would be closed. Naval officials believe that no great danger to allied commerce is to be ex- pected.

The fact that Secretary Lansing spent the morning working ‘on something for the president,” as it was described, was taken that the secretary had prepared a note to warn Germany that diplomatic rela- tions would be broken if she persist- ed in violating her pledges. There was no officiall ground for the report, bit is seemed to be a good guess.” ‘When Secretary Lansing went to the White House to confer with the president he too some documents with him and,went to the mansion instead of the executive offices. It was pointed out that any note to be sent to Germany might in itself ag readily be a notice that relations had been severed, as a warning that they would be. o the Lord Cromer, from Liverpool; the Borinquen, from Fowey; the Baycross, | from Havre, and the Clan MacDougall, from Calcutta.

In his address Chancellor von Beth- mann-Hollweg explained why in March and May of last yvear he had opposed unrestricted submarine war and why again in September ‘“‘accord- ing to the unanimous judgment of the questions were not considered ripe for discussion.” Tn this connection he re- peated his previous utterance that as soon as he, in agreement with the su- preme army command, reached the conclusion fhat ruthless stubmarine war would bring Germany nearer a victorious peace, then the U-boat war would be started. 5 “This moment has now arrived, he continued. “Last autumn time was not yet ripe but today the mom- ent has come when, with the greatest prospect of success, we can undertake neutral ships plying between Ameri- can and Scandinavian and Holland ports have been compelled by the British government to put in at Kirk- “wall or Falmouth for examination.

A prepared plan he said had | been perfected during the last vear | and a half and every police precinct ! commander can .quickly get in touch with members of the home defense league, a civilian organization formed to help the police in case of need. After being sealed in all night by a cordon of destroyers and coast guard patrol boats, the port of New York was taday opened by the customs au- thorities to all incoming and autgoing shipping. The stand taken by the collector of the port was that ships could sail at their own risk. They were permitted to clear as usual. It was understood that the order closing the port last night was pri- marjly to prevent the possible de- parture during that period of any of the self-interned German liners without clearance papers. Docks where the German goods are stored and iInterned ships moored were under close police guard, it was said today, by Acting Police Commis- sioner Godley. eH said that men had been sent to reinforce the neutrality squad of the callector of the port.

GOMMENT OF STATE EDITORS ON NOTE Press Views Situation As One of Intense Gravity Editorial comment of state papers today follows: Can Trust President. Bridgeport Farmer—The president, who has so often brought the country safely and honorably out of difficult sistuations, -will meet this situation in the same spirit that induced his Peace proposals, in the same spirit of amity and love of peace which ac- tuated all his conduct. Whatever happens, even the worst, the presi- dent may depend on the loyalty of the ‘Amerjcan people. “An Order of War.” Pittsfield Eagle: The German note, or order of -war, as the new policy went in force today, makes it impos- sible for any American of courage not to be resentful and to stand firmly with the president should he feel compelled to act with decision, using the mighty power vested in him to uphold the honor of the American flag. Our government has repeatedly been liberal with Germany but the limit seems to have been reached.” Must Protest Ourselves. The Torrington says: Germany has revoked its pledges to sthe Unite States regarding methods of naval warfare. This nation should make it plainly understood that it will pro- tect its own people and its own com- merce even to the extent of- going to war, but it should guard itself against being forced into the war to save one side of the belligerents. ‘Will Not Be Cowardly. Ansonia Sentinel: After using the president’s note as a cat’s paw in a vain effort to secure a Teltonic peace, we find the German empire now of- fering him the shameful role of the man afraid to defend the rights of his country. That he will reject the part seems certain to those who have studied his forceful words regarding the presentation of American rights on the high sea. Sees Breach in Relations. The New London Day: Under in- ternational law, Germany has' the right to blockade the coast of France, Great Britain and Italy. It is not the blockade itself to which this nation has the right to object, but to the manner of its enforcement. Germany announces that all sea traffic will be opposed. The American government may or may not interpret that phrase to mean the adoption of a form of marine warfare which it cannbt countenance. It may prefer to await the development of physical facts be- fore drawing a conclusion, obvious as the conclusion may be. But all this means postponement. There is no real doubt that Germany intends to +un amuck on the seas, and no doubt fulfillment of the German threat will result in the immediate rupture of relations. After that, what may come is too grave a subject for -casual speculation. Outlaw of Nations, New Haven Register: Prussia, the outlaw of nations, defies the world. Considerations of humanity previous assurances to this country are thrown to the winds. The president now faces the most serious crisis since he came to office, - Only One Ccurse. South Norwalk Sentinel: A firm hand and a well stated policy in the first instance would have largely eliminated present conditions. With no gquarrel with warring nations America shonld not submit to having her rights curtailed. . That privilege should abridged by any nation. not be It, is there- fore difficult to understand how there can be but cne course to follow by President Wilson.

Before the end of the first halt hour May contracts had rallied to 17 cents, or 4 1-2 cents from the lowest and within 16 points of last night's closing figuru.

IR Are Unfounded. Arrival of two men at White's stables about 8 o’clock last night in a carriage with horse dripping with sweat, showing fast driving, and the following conduct of one of the men in jumping from the team and leav- ing the yard on the run led the police to believe that there was something that needed investigation. Suspicions were strengthened when the men did not return.at 11 o’clock, the time limit set by them. Policeman Thomas L. Heslin was instructed by Sergeant T. M. Herting to await their return and question them. He did so and found that the driver was Bernard Kingsley, em- ploved by Charles Bridgewater, pro- prietor of Wildwood farm in New- ington. His answers to questions convinced Policeman Heslin that everything was all right and they were allowed to go. latect declaration is none the less om- inous because it was foreshadowed. A nation which has persistently adhered to the principle that necessity knows no law and that human development must follow only the dictates of might, which did not hesitate to vio- late Belgium and to sink the Lusi- tania could be expected to refrain from the ruthless policy now avowed only because of inabllity in its ac- complishment.” Tomorrow is Candlemas day in | Latin-American commerce Catholic church circles and masses | Purchase of the Danish Islands, the will be celebrated In connection with | committee declared “eliminates on the observance.
