Shipping Question Untouched.

1t had been reported that the pan
American neutrality commission, when
1t met last evening, might take up the
question of whether all the American
republics should join the United States
in its protest against the interference
with shipping to neutral countries.
After the meeting, however. it was
said there had been no discussion of
this matter.
None of the subcommittee appointed
to study various plans submitted for
the maintenance of neutrality and full
neutral rights by the countries of the
western hemisphere was ready to re-
port to the commission. Exchanges are
continuing between the different gov
ernments in an effort to crystalline
opinion on the Venezuelan plan, which
plan calls for the converting of an in
ternat1onal conference of all the neu-
trails to discuss the problems of ship
ping rights.

Unable to Amend Bill.

All efforts to amend the District ap-
preparation bill by making provision
for an investigation of the relations of
the federal government to the District
of Columbia and the system of taxation
in the District were blocked late yes
terday afternoon by Senator Vardaman
of Mississippi, who made points of
order against both the Gallinger and
Gore amendments providing for such
an investigation.
When the Senate voted 46 to 20
the half-and-half plan it was expect
ed that an amendment for an investi
cation would go through by a large
majority. but when Senator Gallinger
offered his amendment yesterday, Sena-
tor Works OF California suggested
that the investigation could be made
by the Senate and House committees
on the District.
Senator Shafroth of Colorado pleaded
with Senator Works not to oppose the
amendment for an Investigation. saw
ing that it was with the understanding
that such an investigation would be
ordered that many members of the
Senate had insisted upon the retention
of the half-and-half plan for another
Senator Gore then offered his amend
ment as substitute for the Gallinper
amendment. Senator Gallinger's amend

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Charlie Chaplin IN the Rip Roaring
Comedy In the Park.

The intmitable Charlie Chaplin, with
his inevitable cane, grin and feet, will
appear at the Colonial theatre today
in one of the latest of his mirth-pro-
voking efforts entitled In the Park.
Needless to say, he is successful in his
efforts, and his funny outdoor antics
are the subject Of roaring laughs and
sideaches for the balance of the even
ing whenever and wherever this film
is shown. He may have done funny
things before, but in this film he out
does himself and Is the bright shining
star in one of the greatest tabloid COM
edies Of the year. The Broken Circuit,
one of the events Of the Hazards of
Helen series, is also on today, and is
crowded full Of thrilling incidents that
are new to this most popular railroad
series Of the Colonial. Helen Holmes,
the daring little telegraph operator,
proves how plucky she is and in this
event makes some absolutely fearless
feats seem as nothing. The Hearst
Selig Weekly is the topical feature to-
day and features several Of the latest
newspaper happenings. The Borrowed
Necklace is the powerful .Biograph
drama with Claire Mcdowell and is a
society drama that is different. Hand
some gowns, plenty of thrills and su-
perb acting make this picture a. real

A PREDICTION,

When the, Armies of Earth are dis
And their trappings are coated with
dust;
When the musket forever is siIenced,
And the cannon cankered with rust;
When the sword and the helmet lie tar
Mid the rubbish of Pomp and Dis
We shall wake to the glorious dawning
Of the promised Millennia1 Day.
And that day shall bring JOY to the
Nations;
And the glow of it's generous light.
Shall invade the morasses of darkness,
And dispel the miasmas of night,
And the Empire of-Right shall be
founded,
And the sway of its scepter increased
Till Mankind shall stand shoulder to
shoulder,
In the ranks, not of War, but Of
Peace.
And the throne of Oppression shall
crumble,
And the heart of the Tyrant shall
quake;
And the Naughty shall learn to be
humble,
And the Mighty their mockings for
sake,
And the Spirit-of Truth shall reign DER
US.
And Humanity's banner float free,
Till ImmanuePs message be waited
To the uttermost isles of the sea.

CAPITOL COMM EMIT.
On Norwich Division BilI-New Ii
cense Ratio-Woman Suffrage Cues
ton on Wednesday.
Especial to The Bulletin


Hartford. April 4-They do say at
the state capitol that the party ma
chine is not always engaged in strict
ly party work and that sometimes the
machinery is worked for pecuniary
gain to the operators and some Of the
operatives.
That proposition to divide the town
of Norwich still engages the personal
attention of some who have no person
al interest in the matter and who Of
themselves cannot vote in the gener-
al assembly. Perhaps they imagine
elected to serve their constituency
the town and the state, men who have
taken oath of Office with all that it
entails.
Mr.. Langdon, of Saybrook, house
chairman Of the fish and game COM
mittee of 1918, has named the state
capitol the Temple of Honor. He said
the members remained in Hartford
more during the present session than
in the previous session. He added that
perhaps they are of a weather. class
and can afford to spend more time and
money in Hartford.
One who is interested says that ne
does not believe that the 1-to-1000 Ii
cense bill will get out of the commit
tee He evidently forgets that in a
Connecticut general assembly that all
measures introduced must be reported
on either favorably or unfavorably. No
bills can be pigeon-holed in commit
tee.
One Of the advocates in favor of
the division of the town of Norwich
school system was superior to the
present town system. He also stated
that he never permitted any of his
children to attend the public schools
under elther system, but they were al
lowed to attend the Norwich Free
Academy.
Here's the way one of the outside
workers in favor Of the proposition to
divide the town Of Norwich puts it,
without referring to any particular in
dividuaI by name: ct tell you the
measure is going through alright and
Pm willing to back the statement with
a small bet I understand that some
body back of the scheme has plenty
of mocey; that he does not drink,
smoke or chew, and therefore ought
to be able and willing to spend some
of the surplus cash in legislative vice;
this is not said from personal knowl-
edge, merely a rumor, that's all, and
there may be nothing to it. How does
1t look to you " There was no re-

POETRY
CONTR.AS ST,

All day I've hurried up and down
The dreary town.
And now. through gloomy dusk and
rain,
The buildings frown;
The wan lights flicker through the mist
Upon the glass,
And DULY cast paI1id CLEAN
On those who pass
A few bare leafess branches loom
GrotesQuely high,
Starkly inanimate and grim
Against the sky;
The sharp wind whistles shrilly
through
The cherries streets,
Blowing the rain now here, now there,
In icy sheets.
But somewhere in a cozy room
The freight CLOVIS
And glistens brightly, while outside
The storm wind blows;
And someone's eyes are beaming with
A tender light,
Which all the dreariness and gloom
Make doubly bright.
