"a communication which state depart
ment officials describe as an inter
locutorv note. i'm explanation OF her
detentions OF American vessels and
other invasions of the rights of the
United States on the high seas and in
neutral ports. 1t viii be given out
for publication on Friday.

Great Britain in previous notes that
the British blockade was not justih-
cation for interruption OF American
commerce with ncutrals and that
there was not Justification for long
continued detention of American ships
in British prize courts
This statement on the note was
made Wednesday by an official:
The document is taken up largely
with a recitation of cases OF seizure
and explanation of the laws delay

Great Britain has pointed out again.

sary to send a sharp note which has

Great Britain's present cOmmunica-
ton is essentially like the last Ger

instead Of action"
The reply of the United states to
Germany in the Frye case will proba
bly, be cabled Thursday. In it the
United States brushes aside as imma-
terial Germany's suggestion that her
prize court will assess the damages
The United States reiterates that the
question is not one for a prize court
but for the state department and the
German foreign office. Therefore no
matter what conclusion the prize
court may come to. the United States

full amount of the bill recently pre-
Sented 10 Germany.
Am bassad Page reports today
that many Americans arrive at Eng
lish ports without passports or other
satisfactory documents nOtwithstand-
ing the warnings of this government
Mr.. Page says such cases have to be
referred 10 the home office in London
before persons can land. He remarks:
THE fault would appear to lie al
most entirely with steamship COM
panies. who sell tickets TO Americans
unprovided with the necessary docu-
ments."

avan cauterized the wound and at once reported the matter to the police and board of health. The dog has not as yet been found.
 Edward Stewart Q. driver, living at 22 Whiting street, aged 3S. was walk ing on South Main street, below Rail- road avenue, when he was attacked by Ia. large dog, unInuzz1ed which bit him in the left thigh, He procured treat ment at the emergency hospital.
 Upon the report of Dr. ". J. Southey the valuable Great Dane dog belonging to &. T. Davis, president of theSIoco- mobile Company of America, residing and the head today sent to Middletown for examination. It is today positively denied by pr. Southey that the dog had bitten either any human being or other animal though the precau tionary measures are being taken. Its queer actions aroused suspicion. Other near by residents who own valuable dogs are today greatly interested in the re- port that may be expected within a few rays.
 Agent Alexander Howell of the Con- necticut Humane society was last night called to kill another dog, which showed acute symptoms of the dis ease.
 While the health and police author Tities yesterday believed they had the epizootie under check today's develop ments have again shown. the serious ness of the situation for it is feared that a greater spread of infection has covered. the city than previously be- lieved, and it is today recommended that muzzles be kept on the dogs, even when in the house, unless the tendency of the animal is towards perfect ease and increased friendIiness is not dis played on the part of the beasts
 Another case where a dog bit horse that is now held by the board of health under observation was reported by the City Ice and Coal Co whose horse was bitten by a dog even when fnuzzled, owned by Handles Van Heusen, a lo- cal truckman. According to a witness procured by Inspector c. H. Dunbar of the board of health, the dog, brown and white one, was following Van IHeusen's truck when without warning it suddenly jumped at the head of the Ice Co., s horse, biting. it severely. Both dog and horse have been removed to | temporary detention quarters by Milk and Meat Inspector Knapp.

WILDER WILL BE OWN SUCCESSOR,
 IS 6. 0. P. PLAN
Resolution Naming Him will Be Introduced When
 Libel Suit Clears.
GARLICK, ALSO IN THE RUNNING, TO BE CLERK
Scheme of Machine is To Dust Lavery to Make
 Room For Legislator.

Resolutions naming Frank L.. Wilder to succeed himself as deputy judge of the city court of Bridge port probably will be Introduced soon in the General Assembly.
 This was the information coming today from an authentic source, fol- lowing a secret session of the Repub lican town committee. The commit tee met, Monday night, and in execu- tive session considered Judge Wild CTS claim for renomination. Though members of the committee were uncommunicative as to the busi- ness of the meeting, it developed to- day that Judge Wilder's renonination n depends on one contingency. He is the plaintiff in libel suits brought against local publishers as 9 result of newspaper stories in connection with the arrest of Carl Siemon for man slaughter.
 It is understood that the town com mittee has agreed to. present Judge | Wilder's renonination as soon as these suits are disposed of in a man ner that is vindication for his ac- tfons in the Siemon case. The libel suits followed newspaper criticisms of his actions regarding the Siemon l investigation and arrest.
 l According to reports current today the cases will meet with some dispo- sition within a few weeks. If a set tlement isn't made out of court, the cases will be pushed to trial at the earliest possible moment.
 The plan of the town committee to renominate Deputy Judge Wilder will sidetrack the aspirations of Rep resentative Earle Garlick. who is now assistant clerk of the court. 1 When it became known in January, that there was opposition 9to Judge Wilder's reno1ninatfon, MT. Garlick's name was mentioned for the deputy Ejudgeship.
 | If Judge Wilder is renominated, Mr. Garlick will be taken care of in the makeup of the court slate. It | is said that he can have the clerk Iship, now held by Hugh J. Lavery I4Democrat. This job pays $1, 500 a EYear.

AMERICAN LOST ON VESSEL SUNK
 BY SUBMA ARINE

Hardwtck, Mass, March s1.-L.eon Chester Thrasher, one of the passen- gers whose lives were lost when the British steamer Fa1aba was sunk by d German submarine off the coast of Wales last Sunday, was a, citizen of the United States. He was born in this town in 1884.
 This was established today by his mother, Mrs. Mary L. Thrasher. Leon, she said, was the second son of four Children, all of whom weer born in Hardwick.
 Leon Thrasher lived here until 1901, when he went to Springfield to learn the macIinist's trade. After comp1et- ing his apprenticeship he became a travelling master mechanic, his work taking him to many parts of the world. After journeying all over the United States he wetn to Alaska and later to continental Europe. Mrs. Thrasher re- cefved a letter from her son last Fri day in which he wrote that he would sail from Liverpool on the Falaba for Broomasie, Africa, where he had ob- tained a position as master mechanic in the mines.
 The next she heard of him was when she read of his death in this mornings papers.

aruc1aI plant in Housatonic avenue and the natural ice distributed. about the city, has a, daily output of 85 tons The Naugatuck Valley Ice company has 8 lease to cut ice on the pond at Beardsley park. The proposition which the Republicans have begun to work out is that the amendment to the city charter providing for the establishing of a municipal ice plant shall pass the general assembly, but in the meantime the Republican or- ganization will. collect data showing that g municipal ice plant will be a very costly and expensive proposition and this data will be lodged with ali the Republican clubs and used as campaign material when the election this fall is held.
 If possible the Republicans mean to dodge the expense of a special election and hold the vote on the question of the establishment of the ice plant when the usual election is held this fall.
 As yet none of the harvesters of natural ice or the manufacturers of artificial ice in this city has made opposition to the proposed charter amendments. There seems to be an understanding between the parties in interest since several of those prom inent in the product and sale of ice in this city are also prominent in the work of the Republican machine

6. Q. P. MACHINE PREP ARES
 DEATH BLOW FOR ICE PLANT

In an attempt to get figures which they will present to the voters at the next special election and so sQuelch any attempt to bond for municipal 1ce plant, two men believed to be rep resentatives of the Republican town committee visited the plant of the Naugatuck Valley Ice co. in Housa- made copious notes on what they were told regarding the production of arti- cia1 ice in Bridgeport. The proposed charter amendment for the establish ment of a municipal ice plant in Bridgeport will be reported faVorafbIy by the legislative committee on cities and boroughs. All Republican repre- sentatives to the general assembly have been told to favor some charter ameyd- ment which will provide for the estab- lishment Of a municipal ice plant but amendment as now framed which the Republican machine considers too broad in it's provisions
 Here is the plan:
 If the proposed amendment passes the legislature, the question of wheth- CT or not a municipal ice plant may be established must then be submitted to the voters for an issue of bonds. It will take several hundred thousand dollars at least to make. a municipal ice plant possible.
 The visitors to the plant were told that the Naugatuek Valley Ice Co. furnishes more than B6 per cent. of the ice which is used in Bridgeport. Ice-
 men estimate that in summer time when the consum ption is the highest, the citizens of Bridgeport use about 160 tons of ice daily. Of this estimat.s the Nausatpck Valley Ice Ges with tts
