U. s. WILL DEMAND !. zELAYA'S TRIAL FOR MURDER
NICARAGUAN PRESIDENT IN- WEIGHS BITTERLY AGAINST
 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Property of South American Dictator May Be Confiscated If Revolution Is Successful
Especial from United press.)

Special from United Press)
 Washington. Dec. 17.-There was lit- tie change today in the attitude of the State Department toward the Nicara- guan situation despite the publication of President Zelaya.
 The United States will continue to insist that the erstwhile ruler be re- strained from leaving Nicaragua un- til the revolutionists shall have made their control secure. He will then be held as a prisoner of state of the new government. The United States will not demand his trial for the murder of the two Americans. Groce and Can- non. until the Nicaraguan courts have been properly constituted.
 It Is generally predicted that the Nicara guam congress will now proceed to elect Jose Madriz. judge of the Gen. tral American court at Cartago. to succeed Zelaya-
 Although Jose Madriz. Zelaya's can- didate for the presidency. Is no more acceptable to the State Department than Zelaya himself. Secretary Knox appears to be at loss over what steps he may take in preventing his assump- ton of the office.

 Madriz is now on his way to Man agua and the moment he arrives a committee will wait upon him in an effort to have him withdraw from the race. Zelaya had nothing to add today to the statement made when he resigned

HARBOR LINE CHANGE A
 CRIME, SAYS BEARDSLEY
Room Curtailed or Narrowed Would Lose Bridgeport Valuable Franchise Writes Stratford Oyster Company's Manager.

F. S. Beards1ey, manager of the Strat- ford Oyster Company, in a letter to Harbor Master Morris says "once the channel or anchorage room of Bridge ports harbor is narrowed or curtai1- ed the port has lost forever a valuable franchise and it therefore seems to us that the wise and far-sighted policy for Bridgeport would be to hold all that we have and get as much more as possible"
 The letter follows:
 Stratford, Conn. May 1T. 'os. MT. Charles Morris,
 Harbor Master,
 Bridgeport, Conn.
 Dear Sir:-In regard to the matter of harbor lines in Bridgeport harbor about which there is to be a hearing in the Council chamber tonight, we have to say that the writer regrets that he will be unable to be present owing to a previous engagement Our position in regard to the matter is about as follows:
 We have no quarrel with any inter est that may be concerned in the prem ises, but situated as we are directly have observed very closely the work ings of the shipping in the harbor. The result of our observations is that there is not room enough now to ac- commodate the shipping that has oc- caSion to use the anchorage basin be- tween the Naugatuck Dock and the foot of Henry street. There have been for the last two months anywhere from ten to forty vessels anchored in this basin. Many times the basin has beer fully occupied and vessels have been obliged to anchor in the channel and have thus blocked the channel so that vessels could not get in or out of the harbor. This has occurred this season when there has beEn very few

NEW UTILITIES COMMITTEE IS
 AFTER FACTS
Senator Barnum Says It Doesn't Want Agitation and Declamation, But Does Want Figures and Arguments = Won't Go Over Old Ground Again.
By Our Special Correspondent.)

(By Our Special Correspondent.)
 Hartford, May 1S.-Senator Barnum, chairman of the new joint committee to consider a public utilities bill, which organized at 2:15 after the adjourn ment of both houses, said to-day:
 'The committee will have at it's dis posa1 the stenographic report of the hearings before the judiciary commit tee and in order to avoid delay it probably will not go over the same ground again in oral hearings.
 ''The committee will probably ask members who have proposed amend mentS to the clerk of the committee as soon as possible.
 There was a pretty full hearing be- fore the Judiciary committed, as to the state of public sentiment. at which there appeared a good many repre- sentative men. Consequently this com mittee will probably devote such time as is at it's disposal, at this late day, not to discussion of public sentiment, but to detailed consideration of the provision of a bill. The committee will not desire to hear anything that Savors oe agitation or Reclamation, but will be ready to have presented to it, facts, figures and arguments.
 '"The committee will very likely as sign different days for hearings on those specific subjects. One day may be assigned to a hearing as to the financial control of public service cor porations, another day may be assign ed for a hearing as to the control of the rates of public service corporations, and another day to a hearing as to the control of the management and opera tions of public service corporations.
 'tIt would seem that this perhaps would be a business like procedure"

(By Our Staff Correspondent)
 Hartford, May 1S.-Speaker Fillmore s. Banks, upon the conyening of the House to-day announced his selections upon the special committee of nine which is to consider the matter of pub lie utilities The joint resolution pro- vides for a committee of nine to be composed of seven members of the House and two senators. Judge Banks appointees follow: Scott of Plymouth, chairman; Chandler, of Rocky Hill; Hayes, of Waterbury; Whiton, of New London; Smith, of Milford; Appell, of Middletown; McKachnie, of Putnam, Republicans; Ffske, of Branford and Curtis of Simsbury, Democrats. or these appointees those who favored a public utilities bill when the judiciary committee reported adversely upon the bill are Chandler, Whiton, Smith, and Appell. Chairman Scott, Of the com mittee, in the original vote was with the judiciary committee against a pub lie utilities measure. The two Demo- cratic members of the committee were not present when the vote was taken and it is not definitely known how they stand upon the question.
 President Brooks of the Senate am nounced the Senate members of the committee to be Senators Barnum and Middleton.
 Barnum is regarded as being oppos- ed to public utilities measure, while Middleton is said to be not altogether in oppnx tion, although it is not sr1s- pected that he is a very sta~nch ad- vocate of such a law. It is known that Speaker Banks offered to appoint Col Henry Hall of Wilmington on the conf1ni ttee, but MT Hall declined. Hall was one of the ableSt advocates of the public utilities idea when the matter was discussed in the House two weeks ago.
 Public hearings will begin at once as soon as the committee is supposed to he ready to report by June 8,

LINE IS NOT
 DISCONTINUED
Harbormaster and Alder man Dispose of Mistaken Idea Regarding Effect of Councils Action Last Night.

Harbor Master Charles H. Morris said this afternoon it is an error to suppose that the city harbor lines were discontinued by any action of the Common Council which was taken last night, or at any other time. The res olution that was adopted simply au- thorizes the Harbor committee to agree upon a new line that will be satisfac- tory, if they can. Chairman Tague, of the committee on Harbor Improve ments, told me this morning that he had no idea that the resolution does not discontinue the city line.'
 Alderman Meyer said: ''The city line was not discontinued. A majority of the Board of Aldermen are opposed to discontinuance, at least until a new line is ready
 City Clerk Buckingham said: q can see nothing in the resolution adopted by the council, except the creation of a special committee to consider a new harbor line"

Fierce Blaze Burns
 Fireproof Building
Special from United Press,

Akron. O.. May 1s.-A strictly Fire Proof'' building was burned to the ground here to-day with a loss ofsmore than $1, ,000,O GOO. At ten o'clock, after burning only two hours. the Flower Building lay in ruins, it's walls almost level with the ground.
 The cause of such an unexpectedly fierce blaze was the inf1ammable char acter of the household furniture and goods of similar nature with which a large part of the building was stored. These stored goods alone were valued at $1O00.000 and insured for $500 600. The building was valued at $100, 0,O00. Structure and contents were practi- ca1ly a total loss.
 Twelve girls were carried down lad ders from the third story windows. Eighteen men employed on the top floor were cut off from the fire escapes and forced to hang out the windows until fremen rescued them with long ladders. The fire started from an overturned torch in the storage rooms Of the L.. B. Dodge Furniture Com pany. About 16O persons were in the building at the time and a panic en- sued in the rush for the hre-escapes. All escaped.

vessels working on the natural oyster beds. What the condition would have been if in addition to the fleet of boats that have been here there had been two hundred or more sail boats as there are some years when there is good work on the natural beds, can readily be seen. There simply would not have been room enough for the the channel.
 If in addition to all this there should be added several Sound tows, that might at any time come into the har- bor for a refuge the situation would be .still more congested and danger ous, and unworthy of so important a port as Bridgeport. It seems to us that if a line of wharfs was con called, and barges and other vessels were moored alongside of said wharf, this anchorage basin would not be available for the use of the large fleet that every year more and more has occasion to use it.
 It may be urged that the proposed anchorage basin on the east side of the main channel near SteeplechaSe Island can be used when comDleted' but in our opinion both basins will not be large enough to accommodate the in creasing shipping of the port What Bridgeport needs is more room rather than less, and any course that has a tendency to curtail the anchorage or channel facilities of the port would be a short sighted policy.
 Once the channel or anchorage room is narrowed or curtai1ed the port has lost forever valuable franchise and it therefore seems to us that the wise. far-sighted policy for the city of Bridgeport to pursue would be to hold all that we have and get as much more as possible.
