I re- quest also’ that you will grant me at the same time, along h the powers I ask, a sufficient credit to enable me to provide adequate means of protec- tion where they are lacking, includ- ing adequate insurance against the present war risks. “I have spoken of our commerce and of the legitimate errands of our people on the seas, but you will not be misled as to my main thought, the thought that lies beneath these phrases and gives them dignity and i weight. It is not of material inter- ést merely that we are thinking. It ds rather, of fundamental ~human fnights, chief of all, the right of life itself. I am thinking not only of the rights of Americans to go and come about their proper business by way of the sea, but also of something else deeper, much more fundamental than that. “I am thinking of those rights of Yumanity without which there is no Jeivilization. My theme is of those / great principles of compassion and of protection which mankind has sought to throw about human lives, the lives of non-combatants, the lives of the men who are peacefully at work com- peting in the industrial processes of the world, the lives of women and children and of those who supply the labor which ministers to their sus- tenance. Z“We are speaking of no selfish ma- terial rights but of rights which our hearts support and whose foundation Is that righteous passion for justice upon which all law, all structures, alike of family, of state and of man- kind must rest, as upon the ultimate base of our existence and our liberty. I cannot imagine any man with American principles at this hour hesi- tating to defend these things.” EDWIN GOULD, JR,, KILLED Grandson of Jay Gould Shoots Self Accidentally While Clubbing Rac- coon Caught in Trap, Brunswick, Ga., Feb. 26.— Edwin Gould, Jr., grandson of Jay Gould, nephew of George J.

COMPANY New Haven Iawyer Secks $2,000 Damages Because He Received No Dividend for Last Six Months. Harry A. Asher of New Haven today brought suit for $2,000 against the B. & K. company of this city, alleging fraud in securing stock subscriptions. Sheriff M. D. Stock- well attached the property of the factory here and the writ is made out returnable before the New Haven su- perior court on the first Tuesday in April. In his complaint, Lawyer Asher sets forth that on Nevember 1, 1916, the defendants solicited from him sub- scriptions to its common and pre- ferred stock and represented in writ- ing that the preferred stock would pay a 7 per cent. dividend, payable in January and July. Relyving on this representation, Mr. Asher claims to have purchased ten shares of pre- ferred stock and ten shares of com- mon stock at a cost of $1,500. Tnasmuch as the company has not paid any January dividend on its pre- ferred stock, Lawyer Asher claims that the representations were false and fraudulent and he .claims dam- azes of $2,000.

It is acknow- leged that there are a number of clues but all have, apparently, run up against a stone wall. ‘Wild rumors and indications that many have ‘‘ragged” nerves still are prominent in police circles.
