GREEK STEAMER rows
 PARoD! INTO PORT
CriOs Rescues Drifting Ital. ian Liner Believed to
 Have Been Sunk.

New York, Jan. 2s.-Italians s steamship Angelo Parodi, which was lost from view of the revenue cutter Itasca yesterday iIi a fog and was be lieved to have gone down with her crew of twenty-seven. reached this port today in tow of the Greek steamer Cribs.
 The Parodi had been adrift since was exhausted For four days the revenue cutter Itasca stood by and
 ndeavored to get line to the drifting ship. The Parodi's food supply ran out and this increased the suffering of the crew. High seas prevented the Itasca from avoiding either the ship or those aboard.
 During Monday night the Parodi dirfted away from the Itasca in thick weather. The cutter searched all Tuesday and Wednesday for the ship and not finding it, sent a wireless message last night to Norfolk express ing the belief that the Perodi had sunk about 3S0 miles off Cape Henry  with all on board This belief was said by the fact that the cutter en- countered a mass of wreckage in her search. e-..
 After the Parodi became separated from the Itasca her officers said today the Greek steamer Cribs sighted her. This was at o'clock the morning of January 26 a few hours after she had drifted away from the Itasca. The Crios succeeded in getting line to the vessel and took her in tow.
 The. rescue of the Parodi is the second one achieved by the Cribs in successive voyages. On her previous voyage from New York to Piraeus on November 23 the Cribs fell in with the British steamer Gripwell, which har lost her propeller, and lowed the Grip we'll to Gibraltar, a distance of 500 miles. ....
 The Perodi left Maddellena, Italy, thirty three days ago for Baltimore.

SENATOR (. ". kLETT ;
 RAPS PALMISTS IN BILL
Also Suggests Abolition of Several State Commissions
 -Meskill Reappointed.

Several more vitally important bills day by Senator George w. Klett, of this city, one of which provides that all clairvoyants and palmists shall be under the direct supervision of the chief of bodice in the city where they are stopping and they shall be H- censed at a fee not to exceed S25 or less than $1O. This measure is deemed a much needed one and in his capacity as prosecutor of the po- lice court Senator Klett has had oc- casion to see it's need, having prose cuted crooked fortune tellers several times
 Another bill introduced by the New Britain senator provides for the abolishment of the labor commission and factory inspectors. As a substi- tute for this commission he advises a commission of a single man and to make him alone responsible for con- ditions uider him.
 The tuberculosis commission is all so raked over by Senator Klett as he does not think the present system works out to the best interests His new bill provides for the abolition of the tuberculosis commission and re- commends a one man commission in- stead.
 Measures which would make it necessary to codify all laws in rela- tion to taxation were also outlined by Senator Klett and voicing the ideas of State Treasurer Frederick B. Chamberlain, also of this city, he recommended that there be estab- lished a state board of finance to be composed of three men.
 When the judiciary committee of the general assembly met to take up the matter of judgeships and assistant judgeships there appeared to be no opposition to Judge James T. Meskill for reappointment as judge of the New Britain police court and his name went through with unanimous vote. At press time the name of Judge John H. Kirkham to succeed Judge William F. Mangan, demo- cratic appointee two years ago. had not come up for decision but it was 1ntimated that there would be no op- position to him and it is probable that he will be named as Judge Mes- kills assistant ...

MAY CHANGE PLANS
 OF CANAL OPENING
Formal Ceremonies Probably Will Be Postponed From March

to July.

Washington. Jan. 2s.-Eor1n. I opening ceremonies at the Panama Canal probably will be postponed from March to July and President Wilson will go to San Francisco by rail in March and to Panama later W hen the naval review will be held.
 Although no formal announcement of the change in plans has been made, the President has taken up the ques- ton with Secretary Daniels
 The President today told the North Carolina congressional delegation he probably could not accept an invita- tion to speak at an unveilins of a monument to Gen. Nathaniel Greene at Guilford Court House, N. C., July because he probably would be at Panama.
 The report of Governor Goethals that he could not guarantee passage of warships at the original time set for the formal opening is understood to have been chiefly instrumental in bringing about the change.

CONNECTICUT THURSDAY, PAGES
ROBBINS TRIAL PUT
 OVER TILL FEB. 23
Government Consents to Postpone ment on Account of the Illness
 of Prisoners Counsel.

New York, Jan. 2S.-It was an nounced at the United States district attorneys office today that the gov ernment had consented to a postpone ment till February g of the trial of Edward D. Robbins of New Haven, Conn, originally set for today. MT. Robbins was indicted with twenty other directors and former directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company on a criminal charge of conspiracy in con nection with the management of the New Haven's affairs.
 The illness of Addison S. Pratt, MT Robbins counsel, caused the post ponement of the trial.
 While MT. Robbins. technically, IS not to be tried on the indictment it was said at the district attorneys of flee that the proceedings on February 23 would virtually amount to such d trial Those proceedings are to de- termine whether Mr. Robbins plea of immunity shall be permitted to stand. MT. Robbins based his plea on the fact that he had testified before the federal grand jury here in January, 1913, it was said, and that he had committed no overt act since that date. The government charges that his testimony before the grand jury does not give him immunity for acts committed prior to January, 1913, and that, even if it did, the defendant has continued the alleged acts of con spiracy since January, 1913. H.
 The question is to be decided by jury

WALSH DEFENDS BILL,
Democrats Answering Republicans in
 Ship Purchase Measure Fight.

DcnOCTaIS answering ttFEJuDll(AnS In
 Ship Purchase Measure Fight.
 Washington, Jan. 28.--For the first time in the two weeks the ship bill has been under a continuous republi- can attack in the senate, the admins tration's defense of the measure was brought forward in speech today by Senator Walsh, who replied to Sena- tor Roots contention that it's enact ment would lead the United States into foreign complications. -.
 Citing rules of the British admir- atty, the Declaration of London, de- cisions of the priVy council, the United States supreme court and state papers of a century Senator Walsh de- clared the right of the United States to purchase ships of the belligerents was unquestioned so long as thetrans- actions were in absolute good faith; that Great Britain had maintained the same right for more than 100 years and that France for the same length oa item acquiesced in the principle He declared that had Senator Roots argument been advanced by another it would have been accounted impos- sible. At length the democratic sena- tor quoted laws of courts and nations to support his view.

ALGONQUIN BRINGS
 SURVIVORS HERE
Clyde Line Freight Steamer, Herself a Wreck in Tow of Cherokee, Lands
 Other Shipwrecked Victims.

New York, Jan. 2s.--The Clyde line freight steamer Algonquin, herself wreck in tow of her sister ship, the Cherokee, brought to this port today the survivors of two ship wrecked vessels whom she picked up before she became disabled after hav- ing developed propeller trouble on her trip from Santo Domingo.
 Of the eight rescued men oboard the Algonquin seven were the captain and crew of the American schooner Fred erick Roessner which sailed from Jamaica, December for Stamford, Conn.,, with haywood. The eighth man was the purser of the Norwegian steamer Anita, bound from Halifax for Kingston, which was wrecked on North Caicos Reef, January 10.
 Captain Swain of the Roessner said that after his vessel was out ten days she encountered terrific gales and was completely disabled. The stays were carried away and all the sails stripped off. In the heavy pounding the schooner's seams were opened and she was soon in a waterlogged con- dition. The crew attempted to launch the ships boats, but the boats were smas shed. For three days the crew clung to the drifting wreck Finally they were sighted by the steamer Iro- quois, which sent a boat to their relief, took them off and landed them at Turks Island Thence they were brought to New York by the Algon- Quin a.t. .t..
