Paris, Feb, 25.—The supreme cou | cil of the peace conference has d cided, according to a Havas report, to telegraph to Vienna asking that cou- pons of the Austro-Hungarian debt falling due on March 1 be paid. This action followed a report before the council by Signor Crespi, of Italy, on behalf of the inter-allied financial commission, who pointed out that | there are funds Austro-Hungarian banks to make payment but ex- pressed a fear that such payment | might create a kind of precedent | which could later be used against the different states of the former Aus- | tro-Nungarian empire. The telegram to be sent to Vienna will specify that payments made on the conpons will not affect the appor- tionment of the Austro-Hungarian debt amon,r the different states which formed the dual monarchy it is re- ported in the a Daniels Asks Dcpartment of Justice to Prosecute All Civilians Implicat- ed In Bribery Charges, Washington, Feb. ment of justice will be asked by the navy department, Secretary Daniels said today, to prosecute ecivilians and others who do not come under naval jurisdiction, found to have been im- plicated in the brihery scandal in the third naval district of New York. 26.—The depart- CAMP LOGAN CLOSED, 16TH SINCE NOVEMBER 11.

Hartford, day adopted of the “red’ cite disorder, measure enway Feb. 26.- a bill flag as The was lively Wwas opposed merely against a flag Fe believed that the legislation” applied to this bill was not inappropriate as another color to provoke trouble might be used. Several senators spoke against his amendment which would have in- serted the word “any” for “red flag.” In the end the bill was adopted with mendments to prohibit the of ny red flag or any other symbol” calculated to incite disorder, and making it effective upon passage. Morrison Bill Killed. The committee on education re- ported unfavorably the so-called Mor- rison code bill. Tt is expected a substitute bill dealing with a reform of the schools’ system will be of- fered later. Senator Hazen said that a hearing had been held in which there was great interest.” Opposition had developed to the bill, but the hearing had developed some points. The most important was the necessity of formulating some method by which local school hoards, superin- tendents and teachers could get into closer touch with the central organ- ization to secure better co-ordination and belter co-operation. He sug- gested that this spring a conference held to be attended by members of the state board, a representative from each town and one teacher superintendent from each town, this conference to discuss problems that the state may be able to get some- thing definite on which to base a school system. From such a confer- ence the committee could draft a sat- isfactory bill, Opposing One Man An effort to prevent trolley panies from using one-man made by organized labor through a bill to require that each car shall carry a gualified motorman and con- ductor, failed as the railroads com- mittee reported adversely on this bill Which was rejected. As many towns and boroughs have been unable to welcome returning soldiers and sailors through local cel~ ebrations out of a town or horough treasury and without obtaining pri- vate contributions, a bill report- ed today to legalize expenditure of public moneys for this purpose. Governor Holcomb named W. C. Cheney of Manchester, a state prison director for the balance of the term of James W. Cheney. resigned Railroads Committee Reports The railroads committee disap- proved of bills to require the heating of vestibules of closed trolley and to make liable to a penalty sons who ride on portions of car which may not be used by pas- sengers, such as the humpers and roof.
