ECUADOR FAVORS AMERICAN LEAGUE South American Government Proposes Continental Expression of Views on European War. ‘Washington, Feb. 19.—Some inter- est was manifested here today in Ec- uador’s proposal for a congress of American nations to meet immed- iately and take “the necessary meas- ures for securing a continental ex- pression principally for the guarantee of the rights of neutrality, and If it is possible for the alleviation of the rigors of war.” Tobar Borgona, Ecuadorean min- ister of foreign relations, made the suggestion in a note to the Mexican minister of foreign relations respond- ing to General Carranza’s note to the United States and all neutral nations, suggesting an embargo on foodstuffs and munitions exports as a means of bringing the war to an end. Borgona's communication dated Quito, Feb. 17, says joint action all American nations is needed to produce results, as “the labor of one, separate group, it demon- strated, is unfruitful.” Ecuador therefore, ‘“believes it es- sential that there should be an im- mediate session of an American con- gress, which could meet, for example, in Uruguay.” at of is WATERBURY HOUSE IS SHATTERED BY BLAST “Gas,” Says Owner, But Others Sus- pect Presence ot Explosive in Building. ‘Waterbury, Feb. 19.—An explosion that up to a late hour has not been explained satisfactorily occurred yesterday afternoon in a single-story cemment and felt-roofted shack on North Main street, occupied by Al- tidio Treticione and his wife and three young children. The shack was blown to pieces, fragments flying across the street. Six windows in the Turn Verein Vorwaerts gymnasium, first house north, were brokeh, and one in a dwelling to the south. Treticone and his family were buried in debris and it took half an hour to extricate them. His youngest son, Joseph, aged seven, was’ killed. Treticone and his wife and the other two children, Angeline, three, = and Marchata, two years, were rushed to St. Mary’s hospital. The baby escaped almost uninjured, but Treticone and his wife and the other girl are seri- ously injured. They will recover. The man had told a brother-in-<law that he smelled gas coming from the cellar, a three-foot excavation, and crawled down to see if he could find it with a match, and then the explo- sion followed. Gas had not been used by the family, and inspectors of the Waterbury Gas Light company say the gas had been 'shut off from the main and that there was no leak. No fire followed the explosion. Edward Je Bisschop, foreman of distribution of the gas company, says that the nature of the wreck indicated the work of a powerful explosive. -LOCAL PRINTERS HAVE BIG SPREAD Typographical Union No. 679 Enter- tafns at Second Annual Affair— Acting Mayor n Speaker.
