Hartford. Feb. 10.-Colonel Edward
Schulze, of the First regiment, to-day
issued an order calling council of the
officers of the regiment at the armory
on Friday evening to consider matters
of interest to the regiment which are
the outcome of the service of the COM
mand during the, Waterbury riot Ad~
jutant-G General Cole to-day said that
there were few cases of breach disci-
pline during the stay Of the. troops in
Waterbury, and the commanders Of the
different Organizations would deal with
them and make an example of the Of
tenders, even if there was but single
instance of misconduct. 80, Z,
Another matter which will receive at
tention is the alleged giving away by.
members of the regiment the cartridges
which were issued for use in case the
troops were called upon to fire upon the
members. 1t is said that some of the
soldiers gave cartridges away to new
found friends in Waterbury, and cap
tains of the companies will be held ac-
countable for the number of cartridges
issued, and as the troops were not call
ed upon to use any of the ammunition,
commanding officers will be required to
pay for any shortage that may occur.

DECISION FOR CONSOLIDATED
Rendered Against the Estate of George
Dean, Late of Hartford,


Dean, Late of Hartford.
Albany, N. Y, Feb. 10.-A case which
Judge Werner, who writes the opinion,
seems to regard as unparalleled, was
decided by the courts to-day in favor of
the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad company against the es-
tate of George Dean, late of Hartford
Conn, represented by William NJ Hoes
public administrator Of New York
county. ia
Dean, an engineer of the railroad, was
killed in collision, caused, the plain
tiff alleges, by negligence on the part
of the corporation.
The surrogate Of New York, on the
representation that Dean had property
in this state, appointed Hoes as admin
istrator, and as such he brought and
won suit for $4,000 against the COM
5pany. .".-
The court Of appeals reverses the de-
cision and dismisses the case on the
ground that the entire estate of Dean,
in this state. consisted of a watch and
chain. brought from Connecticut after
Deans death for the purpose of giving
the New York courts Jurisdiction.
Judge Werner in his decision says
that while the court recognizes the
hardship upon the widow and next of
kin, the grave questions of public poll
cy compel the decision. Property to
constitute an estate in such case must
come into tie state ''in good faith and
in due course of business

CHAMBER LAWS TRIP.
British Colonial Secretary Makes Some
Interesting Comparisons.

Interesting Companions.
Grahamstown, South Africa, Feb.
10-Mr. Chamberlain, in returning
thanks for the welcome accorded him
self and his wife at the banquet here
to-day, compared the settlers in South
Africa in 1920 with the Puritan settlers
in the eastern states of America, to
whom he owes debt of undying graft
tude since he owes them his great do
mesitc happiness. In this case the un-
ion of races was entirely successful.
Proceeding with a comparison of the
settlers in the United States and South
Africa he said another similarity was
that in neither case the struggle against
the forces of nature and also bar
barism made them lose sight of the
value and Importance sof intellectual
development. Accordingly, they be-
came in Grahamstown as in Boston, a
great center of educational activity and
energy, but Grahamstown and it's in
habitants appealed to him more strong
ly because they had never forgotten
what they owed to the motherland.

BRITISH PROTOCOL SIGNED
FORMALLY ACCEPTED BY MIN
ISTER BOWEN YESTERDAY.
British Ambassador Notified by vene-
zueInn Envoy Im Person-Latter
Praises the Document as of High Order
from a Diplomatic cStamdpoint-BerIin
Sees No Insup-rabIe Obstacles to sign
ing of German Protocol
ng of German Protocol.


Washington, Feb. 10.-Great Britain's
protocol has been formally accepted by
Mr.. Bowen for Venezuela. The Ger
man and Italian conventions are still
undergoing revision, but assura Il uces are
given in authoritative quarters that
they eventually will be made to con-
form in all essential respects to that of
the British ambassador. Owing to the
illness of the British ambassador Mr..
Bowen called at the embassy to-day
and personally signified his approval of
the agreement to the ambassador. This
practically means the gning of the
protocol. Mr.. Bowen then presented
his formal note of acceptance and it
has been cabled to the London foreign
office.
1t appears that the insertion in the
German protocol of the provision for
advance payment of the original $780,
900 demanded of President Castro in
the German ultimatum was the result
of a misunderstanding on the part of
the German foreign Office of certain
steps in the negotiations here. Through
the activity of the German minister
here, Baron Speck Won Sternburg, this
point is being cleared up.
The italian ambassadors instructions
are such that he can make little head
way until he knows what is contained
in the German protocol. He, however,
has made rough draft of his conven-
tion and it will take only short while
after the completion of the German
convention for Signor Mayor des
Planches to ptu the finishing touches to
his protocol.
Mr.. Bowen has done everything pos
sible to conclude the negotiations with
dispatch in order that the blockade
might be raised, and he tonight ex-
pressed his belief that he was receiv
ing in his effort the sincere support of
all the >negotiators. If a serious hitch
shall occur at the eleventh hour, Mr..
Bowen is confident that it will be
through no fault of any one of the rep
resentatives of the allies here. Should
the protocols of Germany and Italy
when presented to him contain provis-
ions not in line with those of the Bit
ish the negotiations must be prolonged
until satisfactory arrangement can be
reached. RS $@stET e.. s

PASSAGE OF COMMERCE BILL
Nelson Amendment for Trust Publicity
Adopted WiIhIt

Washington, Feb. 10.-The house to-
day adopted the conference report on
the department of commerce bill by a
vote of 215 to 10. One republican, Mr..
Liltlef1eld of Maine, and nine demo-
Gratis voted against this action. Several
democratic took the position that the
! Nelson amendment to the bureau of
corporations was a weak and ineffec-
tual attempt to provide the machinery
for corporation publicity. Mr. Mann of
Illinois, on behalf of the republicans,
contended, on the contrary, that it was
a better measure of publicity than had
! been presented in any other bill.
The remainder of the day was devot-
ed to the sundry civil appropriation
bill. Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the ap-
preparations committee gave notice
that at the proper time he would move
two amendments, one to provide for
the purchase of a site and the erection
of three story 400 room office build
ing for members to be connected with
the capitol by a subway and to cost
$3,S00,0O; and the other an appropria-
ton of $2.50c,OO0 to carry out the orig
inal plans for beautifying and enlarg-
ing the main wing of the capitol. The
notable feature of the general debate
on the bill was speech by DIR. De Ar
1ond of Missouri on the Hanna bill
to pension ex-slaves. He spoke in
sarcastic vein, but the subject assumed
a serious phase when Mr.. Richardson
of Tennessee said that adventurers in

Paris, Feb 10.-The governor of the
French dependencies in South Africa
has cabled to the colonial office that a
cyclone has devastated the Tua-Motu
group of islands, forming dependency
of the French possession of Tahiti, So
ciety Islands. The governor adds that
he is proceeding to the relief of the
sufferers.
The dispatches received here from
the United States contain practically
all the information furnished to the
French officials and public concerning
the tidal wave disaster in the Society
Islands though these have been sup
plemented by brief, official notifica-
tions to the colonial office. These ad-
vices, however, gave no details of the
loss OF life.
The Patrie refers to the disaster as
rivalling that of the island of Martini
ique, but owing to the absence of di-
rect advices the catastrophe in the So
ciety Islands has not yet excited wide
spread attention here.
An official of the colonial office, dis
cussing the matter to-day, said: COW
ing to the remoteness of the islands re-
ports from there are rarely received
and we have little direct knowledge
concerning the native islands as the
government conducts their affairs
through a governor who has extensive
areas of islands under his control.
There is no cable communication with
the islands and official reports Of the
casualties are not expected here for
some time to come.''

Tonight at an executive session the
board of public safety, over which Mayor
Kilduff presided. there were examined
twenty-six applicants for positions on
the supernumerary police force. Not
all of the applicants presented them
selves, and this and the fact that the
examination took until nearly midnight,
made a. postponement until Friday
night for the remaining work necessary.
These extra policemen are to be ap-s
pointed in response to the recent act of
the legislature. providing that the fifty
extra officers may be appointed to safe
guard, the city. The act was the direct
offspring of the riotous scenes here, in
which the police were found incapable
of handling the emergency situation.
Few passengers ride on the cars all
though the number increases each day.
The strikers cannot find enough carry
alls to accommodate the trade, and are
obtaining more in New Haven, New

is prolonged they will import at least

Petersburg that all the officers of the
Russian army reserves have been noti-
fled to hold themselves in readiness to
rejoin their regiments in twentyfour
hours in the event of mobilization or
ders being issued The measure, it is
added, appears to be connected with
fears of trouble in the Balkans.
Paris, Feb, 1O.-The officers here are
not disposed to accept the porte's as
surances that Turkey has no intention
of mobilizing large force of troops.
When the Turkish denial was brought
to the attention of officers here who
have access to the governments sources
of information the following reply was
made:
We have received similar pacific ac-
surances from Turkish sources, but our
own information is positive and specific
that orders for the mobilization have
been issued. This was three days ago,
and we are unable to say whether the
execution of the orders is withheld in
view of the effect they have produced
among the powers who are seeking to
enforce reforms in the Balkans. Our
advices further show that the mobili-
zation would affect 100000 troops
The French governments policy ap-
parently is being determined upon its
own advices, without reference to the
Turkish assurances.
