ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION OF
 COUNTRIES FOOD SUPPLY
Administration to Issue State ment Showing Exa,t Situa-
 ton, Says Wilson.

Washington, Feb. 17.-President Wilson declared today ne believed an erroneous impression had grown up concerning the food supply in the United States.
 In letter to Mayor Mitchell of New York, replying to suggestion that an embargo be placed by tile federal gov ernment on exports of wheat. the president wrote that in the near fu- ture the administration will give out a statement showing the exact situa- tion.
 The president thanked Mayor Nit chel for his letter and for the report of the food committee, headed by George w. Perkins, in which it was suggested that the amount of wheat in the United States at the present time as compared with the amount on hand a year ago, be made public.
 '"The matter is one to which the ad- ministra tion has, of course, from the first, given the most thoughtful and careful attention,'' wrote the president. "The agricultural department is in possession of all the facts. About these facts some very erroneous i'm pressions obtain and it is our purpose in the immediate future to remove these misunderstanding by very full and clear statement of all the facts. They will, I think, reassurc the coun- try.''
 Mayor Mitchel's letter has been re- ferred to Secretary Houston and a thorough investigation now is being made. It is understood to be the posi- tion of the president that he has no authority to declare an embargo on the eXportation of foodstuffs, even though such a step were considered wise.

ANOTHER SETBACK
 IN SHIP BILL FIGHT
Measure as Passed by House Will Not Command Support of Progress
 siveS and Insurgents.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Administra- tion democrats got another setback in their fight for President Wilson's ship bill when they suddenly learned to- early today by 8 vote of 215 to 121 ators Kenyon, Norris or LaFolette progressive republicans, on whom they counted, nor of any of the seven in surgents Of their own party.
 The plan to move to concur with the house amendments was wrecked by the discovery that the leaders could not muster enough votes. Ad- ministration leaders made no attempt to conceal their embarrassment and planned to send the bill to conference with the hope of putting on some amendments to command support. The bolting democrats were said to be favorable to an amendment to make the enterprise a temporary one to end with the European War
 After a series of motions to send the bill to. a conference, motions to table, appeals and other maneuvers in voted with the republican opposition, the bill finally got into a parliamentary position where it went to the senate calendar and can be called up again only on a motion for it's consideration
 The situation puts the administra- ton leaders into a quandary and left the whole situation almost as inde finite as before.

REP SCHULTZ'S BILL
 SCORED BY ALCORN
Lively Hearings on Vaccination Qucs- tion Held at Capitol ill
 Hartford.

States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, at the hearing before the committee on public health and safety on the vaccination question yesterday, took occasion to severely criticize Repre- sentative F. w. Schultz bill which provided that it be made unlawful to make vaccination a conditional re- quirement for admission to any pulp lie or private school or any other in stitution, penal or otherwise.
 The states attorney declared that the Schultz bill was so poorly drawn up that it would affect the "conditions under which a person would be all lewed to enter state prison and would conflict with penal and other laws in many other ways.
 All of yesterdays hearings were featured by numerous tilts between those who favored and opposed vac cination. Dr. Thomas Mulligan, of this city, president of the Connecticut nti-Vaccination League, was the first speaker of the day. He re- ferred principally to MT. Schultz's s bill. He declared that he was not opposed to vaccination but only to it's compulsory feature. Many other doctors also expressed their views.
 At another time during the hearing wold, of Berlin, who was presiding, and Leader Anderson of the oppOsi- ton, had a sharp tilt over an insinu- ation that the ro-vaccinationists had liked things"

BAKER TESTIfIES AT
 SHIP BILL INQUIRY
Says 80 Per Cent. of German Owned Liners Are Unfit
 for Service.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Bernard N. Baker, a Baltimore steamship man ager, told the senate committee in- quiring into charges of influence against the administration ship bill to- day, that 80 per cent. of the German ports were united for the service the bill contemplates, and that in all his conversations With Secretary Me Adoo. the possibility or the purchase of those ships never was discussed. MT. Baker added he was satisfied MT. McAdoo acquiesced in that view.
 MT Baker was the only witness today, although it was decided that w. G. Sickel, of the Hamburg Amer ican Line in New York. would be summoned and that J. F. Meyer and Dr. Bunz, other directors of the com pany, also might be asked to testify.
 Describing his connection with the shipping bill, MT. Baker said he met Secretary McAdoo when the latter called a conference of business men soon after the outbreak of the war. He said he conferred with MT. Me Adoo on the shipping bill and ocean freight rates and discussed the avail ability of the ships included in a list submitted by a Boston ship agent which included none of those owned by the large German lines.
 When efforts were being made to get Americans out of the war zone, MT Baker said, he asked MT. Sickel of the Hamburg American Line to ad- wise MT. McAdoo. MT. Sickel refused, he said, until assured that no prop osition to buy steamers of that line was conte mplated. MT. Sickel said he had orders to entertain no such proposal.

MASKED MEN ROB BERLIN
 HOUSE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
Steal $1O3.5O from Carlo China's Home and Rifle
 Phone Cash Box.

Boldly forcing their entrance through the front door in defiance of plucky sixteen-years-old girl who refused to admit them, two masked robbers ransacked the home of Carlo China of Berlin in broad daylight yes terday afternoon, stealing S103.50 from a trunk in Mrs. China's bedroom and rif1ling the contents of pay sta- tion telephone. They escaped before the police could be summoned and have thus far eluded arrest.
 Mary China was alone in the farm house, which is situated in the Beck ley district, waen the strangers ap- peared. Perceiying their masks she knew at ence~~ hatth object was and hurried to bolt the door firmly. Barely had she accomplished this te- fore the robbers began clamoring for admittance. When she refused to comply with their demands, they smashed in one of the window panes in the door and, reaching through tue opening thus made. showed back the bolts which released the door
 Terrified, the brave girl sprang to the rear door and, running over to the home of John Olson, a neig1bor, telephoned for Constable Henry Aus tin. He pressed H. H. Damon's auto mobile into service, but when he ar rived on the scene there were no traces of the burglars. Upon investi- gation, it was found that they had searched the house quite thoroughly before finding the money, which was at the bottom of Mrs China's trunk.
 Prosecutor Gibney conducted a per- sonal investigation of the crime last night, but could find no clues. A peculiar fact in connection with the case is that none of the neighbors saw the robbers in the vicinity.
 Manager William Semple of the Southern New England Telephone estimates that about fifty cents was stolen from the telephone pay station
