Pointed Out That II
May Not Have Been
Act of I Hostility
Might Have Been Warning That Harbor Was Mined
Uncle Sam is Probing the Affair-Captain Decker
= Sailed Away to Harbor of Chios.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Captain Decker of the cruiser
Tennessee reported to Secretary Daniels that while proceed
ing Vurla Smyrna to make official call the vessel
was fred upon An earlier dispatch from Decker report
ing Tennessees arrival at Vura at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, made mention of the incident.
Secretary Daniels issued statement saying that the
American consul at Smyrna had been asked regarding the
safety of the consulate.
The Tennessee added Daniels statement proceeded to
and left Vura at the request of Ambassador Morgenthau
and is now anchored in the harbor of Chos from which
Captain Deckers telegram was sent.
Daniels has called upon Decker to forward, Immediately,
full report of the incident.
"2ptain Decker's report, confirming last nights
dispatch, which officials here hoped and believed in
accurate left them in state of amazed wonder Every eff
fort being made to get more complete report OF the In
cden from the Tennessee commander His report does not
say whether the Tennessee her launch reported i'll
dispatches, had been fired upon.
Aside from being considered hostile ac the firing may
be explained in various ways The first report said the
cruisers launch had been turned by three shots from the
forts as it entering the harbor of Smyrna Officials
the forts may have taken that method of warning the ship
against mine fields in the harbor.
There has been considerable about the Ten
and also the North Carolina her sister ship Since
they went to Turkish waters to look after the interests of
Americans.
Ambassador Morgenthau's reports of internal condi-
tions in Turkey since the Ottoman empire joined the dual
alliance the upon the entente powers convinced of
fcas here that it would be well to have both ships remain
in the Mediterranean for the present and both have been
going from port to port Turkish waters those nearby
Those Turkish officials who remain at the embassy here
are confident that if the Tennessee has been fred is
up by the Constantinople government.
Further than calling for inquiries from other American
officials the vicinity, it appeared Washington
ing further reports from the Tennessee herself before pro-
ceedng
1t became known that England and France were asking
their commanders in the Mediterranean for information of
the incident.
The cruiser North Carolina is at Beirut the of
Asia Minor about 500 miles away.
Those officials who regard the incident a misunder
standing of some kind that had Captain Decker been
vnced that the Turkish forts firing upon his ship an
act of hostility the big fighting machine would not have
steamed away to the harbor of Chos without further Incl
dent
While there question whatever of the right of the
Tennessee to protect Americans and their interests in the
Mediterranean the question of the protection of citizens of
England Russia and France which are at war with the
Porte, may raise delicate situation.

RAILROADS
THROTTLE THE
WATERWAYS

= Chicago. Nov. 1S.-A move to induce
the interstate commerce commission
to prevent railroads from throttling
water competition by cutting rates
between waterway points was urged
at the Great Lakes waterways con-
ference here. Charges were made that
river and lake traffic had been killed
because the roads were permitted to
make ruinous rates where they had
to, meet water competitions and make
up the money lost by charging high
rates between inland points.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has let the railroads discriminate
in favor of water points," said Henry
W. Lee, consulting engineer for the
Greater Chicago Federation. This
cutting of rates between water points
has forced boats off the rivers. The
railroads should be forced 70 equalfze
their charges in all parts of the coun-
try. Then the waterways would
come back automatically and the
Mississippi would be as great a carrier
as 1t was fifty years ago"
Every port on the Great Lakes
writhes under the lash of the rail
rates" said A. A. Templeton Of De-
troit.
Major P. S. Bond, United states
army corps of engineers, urged that
the depths of harbors be standard
lied. Based on the amount Of traffic
now in sight he said army engineers
had estimated that the economic depth
of harbors on the Great Lakes should
be 23 feet. Ships OF greater draught
than that. he said, did not cause any
saving.

WELCOME RELIEF
FOR BELGIANS

Washington, Nov. 1S.--Germany will
welcome any assistance by Americans
in relieving the Belgians, according to
an announcement by Secretary Bryan
after a conference with Count Won
+Bernstorff, the German ambassador
here. Mr.. Bryan issued the following
statement, which was delivered to him
by the ambassador:
"The German government is doing
everything possible to help the suf-
fering population of Belgium and will
welcome any assistance given by the
Americans"
Relief work of the Belgians will
continue through entirely private
channels, according to President Will
sons explanation to callers yesterday.
He said he had rejected the idea of
appointing an official commission.
Relief work done officially, it is un-
derstood, would not be regarded as a
neutral act. individuals, however
are perfectly free to aid the BeIgians
or any of the other combatants and it
is now expected that the various or
carnations, such as the Rockefeller
foundation and others interested, will
of their own account select a central
committee to prevent duplication OF
effort and to systematic relief plans

Danielson. March 13.-Putnam high school won the championship of the Quinebaug basketball league Friday night, 21 to Is, by defeating Killingly High school in fast hard game play ed before several hundred people in the town hall. The playing was of lightning speed from the start and at the end of the first half Killingly led by the score of 12 to s. Putnam team came back strong in the second half, however, and quickly ran their score above that of killingly and maintained the same margin until the end
 The game was somewhat rough at times, but not exceptionally so. There was a feeling among some of the Dan- ielson rooters after the game that Raymond Wheaton, the Putnam um- pire, had called more fouls than were necessary on Killingly team, but i'm partial observers of the game gave Putnam the credit of playing a faster and better game than Killingly and said that the visitors deserved to win
 The game was the second of a spe- cia1 series to decide the championship as Putnam and Killingly are tied at the end of the regular season.
 large Putnam delegation came here on special car to see the game and gave their team great support from the side lines. The Killingly cheering squad led by Benjamin Brown was~ aso very much in evidence Both teams used their regular lineups.
 There was some excitement after the game when the vicinity of the town hall was filled with cheering Putnam students. Near the Attawau- gan hotel a demonstration was start ed against Umpire Wheaton, who was seated in the office. killingy High students who were in the crowd were officially warned that if they took any unsportsmanli1e action they would be punished by being forbidden to play basketball as a school next season. There was no more of the demonstra- ton than some idle talk. The sup porters of the different teams each taking 8 side of the street, devoted themselves to giving school cheers and singing school songs. Putnam roote1 went home happy in having won championship that. was well worth winning.

NEW HAVEN STRONG.
Trading Broad and Active in Yes
 terday's Market.

New York, March 13.-An unexpect-
 ed turn for the better came in the stock market today. After an indiffer- ent opening this came as a surprise,
 Trading became broad and active, and the principal stocks were lifted a point or more. There the movement stop ped, after an hour of vigorous buying The market fell back into the apa- thetic state which has been character iStic recently, but held firmly at the
 higher level. There was nothing in the days de-
 velopments to explain the sudden change in the market, for the specu-
 lative situation was not altered by the injection of any new factor of import ance. The movement apparently rep resented nothing more than the oper-
 ations of professional traders. At the opening there was renewed weakness in various stocks which recently have been under fire. but their declines did not affect the general list. Steadiness of the market in spite of the softness of individual issues encouraged spec ulative operations on the long side, and it required only a small amount Of buying to demonstrate the scarcity of stocks at the current level. The shorts were alarmed at the ease with which quotations were forced up and began a retreat. Buying for both accounts sent up prices rapidly In the early movement several new LOW TSCOIuS were iIidIts NdllcIOlctAI I cI- cific was again weak, dropping to 20S 5-S, the lowest since 1911. Den yer and Rio Grande preferred at 19 S-4 was the lowest price on record. Rock
 Island also made another low mark at

 London reversed it's attitude here today and bought stocks on 2, mod
 crate scale Canadian Pacific's up turn was influenced largely by foreign buying. Bonds of the Gould roads and Rock
 Island bonds were weak in the early
 trading but recovered later. The gen
 eral bond market was steady after
