PLANS FOR NORWICH SESSION
Made BY Officers Of State Conference Of Charities and Cor
ression President Leonard .. Smith Announces Ten
tstive Programme Proposed Legislative Measures
WIN Play Important Part In Meeting Here In April

onicers and Executive committee
members of the Connecticut state
conference OF Charities and Correc-
ton have already begun definite plans
FOR the 1915 sessions. which are TO
be held In Norwich next April. and O.
tentative proerAn has already been
adopted and q number OF sub COM
mfttees appointed The topics. Sc
IectAd for discussion are especially
timely and the sessions next year are
in the annals OF the organization.
Never before, say those prominent In
charities and correction work
throughout the state, has there been
as much activity along progressive
lines and the need of support to bring
novations have been adopted for the
work this coming season.
One of the most important will be
relative to the reforms to be brought
before the next session Of the legis-
lature. In order to handle properly
has been selected comprising Hon.
Thomas L. Reilly, Meriden; Schuyler
Merritt, Stamford; II. III. Spencer,
Kensington; Ernest X. Rogers. New
London and E. Kent Hubbard, Jr,
Middletown. All of these are es-
cause of their familiarity with legis-
Iation and legislative procedure.
It is proposed that, IL any member
of the executive committee, or of the
state conference, has any legislation
to suggest, the matter should be laid
before the legislative committee. If
it's merits are such as TO gain their
approval they will bring the proposed
matter before the conference sessions
for endorsement nd the decision of
the conference VIII be laid before the
legislature. BECAUSE of the import
ance of the interests back of any
such action It is believed that the re-
suits will be much more satisfactory
than hapllazard procedure by individ-
uals or scattered organizations.
Tentative Programme.
President Leonard o. Smith of Nor
witch, just before his departure for
a six weeks trip to California with
the American Bankers association,
announced the tentative programme
for the conference. II 10 simply the

ton are 70 be as as follows:
/ Reformatory and Correctional
Work. 2 Children, 3 The Family and
the Community Mental and Physical
In the makeup Of these topics for
committees ali interested are invited
to suggest the names Of those who
would be interested and helpful in
advancing the plans for the presenta-
ton of the themes, Another invita-
ton Is that names be suggested OF
anyone In the state, or out OF u, who
would make q good Introductory

Department to-day that Great Bri-
tain had acceded to the American pro-
test against reQuisitioning of ships OF
the American transatlantic Com
Dany.
Test cases will be made of the
steamers Hooking and Genesee, which
will not be reQuisitiOned, but held
pending decision of the prize court
In the meantime Great Britain as
sures the United States that no other
vessels Of the company will be seized
Secretary Lansing said Sir Cecil
SpringRice, the British ambassador,
also had informed him to-day of the
decision Of the foreign office, which
is understood to carry with it cancel
lation of the order reQuistioning the
Hooking and Genesee. A speedy trial
OF the test cases is expected.
The Hooking and the Genesee were
seized because Of suspicious that they
had German interests. The company
has denied to the State Department
that a single share of it's stock ie ,.eid
by any person other than American
citizens.
The State Department was advised
that the British government would
release the Winnebago and Kankakec
under bond. The blocking and Gene
