MOREHOUSE HAS BILL REGULATING
 PRIVATE BANKS
stratford Representative Wishes to Prevent Failures
 Like Burr 6 Knapp
Especial to 1E1a Farmer)

.-sas EFartfor.Ci Jam 6I 5-.As4a a direct re- suit of the recent failure Of the firm of Burr & Knapp in Bridgeport and to prevent further financial col1apses of this sort Representative Ivan Warehouse of Stratford will introduce a bill this week, bringing all private banking institutions under the rigid supervision of the state banking com mission
 Representative Morehousefs bill in it's preliminary draft provides that all private banking houses shall main tain a reserve fund of 15 per cent of the aggregate deposits four -fifths of this amount to be in currency and one-fifth of bonds approved by the banking commission
 At present no reserve fund is re- quired of private banking institu- lions, a bond of SIC, 1000 being the only surety to depositors.
 The bill further provides that should the reserve fund in any pri- vate bank fall below 15 per cent of days, no loans or discounts may be made and no dividends declared on capital stock All private banks will be required to make exhaustive re- times annually, on demand of the banking commission.
 Should a bank commissioner deem it necessary the bill provides, in or der to prevent the public from being defrauded, he or the states attorney, for the county in which the bank is located, may apply to a judge of the superior court for the appointment of receivers.
 The bill provides that private banks shall bear their share of the expenses of the banking commission.
 Representative Warehouse says he expects there will be considerable op- position to his measure from private banks. He cites the recent failure Of the Burr 6 Knapp concern in Bridge port as a good argument in support of his bill. The fact that no reserve fund has been required of private banks leaves for the depositors in the Burr & Knapp bank practically the $1o,0 900 bond as their only surety for deposits.

SUMMARY OF TODAY,s WAR NEWS

A further advance in the eff fort to pierce the German line above St. dihiel, near the eastern battle line in France Is announc-s ed in the official comngunication to-day from Paris. It is said that another German field work in the. forest of Le Petre was cap. tured and that 500 yards of the German trenches there have now been occupied.
 At the same time, the allies are attempting to press forward to the northwest of St. Mihie1. These two movements, if success fial. would either cut through the German line or compel the evac- uation of St. Mihie1.
 The French have retaken posi- tions at La Basselle captured by the Germans, according to to- days Paris statement. The Der lin announcement says that no action of importance occurred along tho entire western front.
 The Russian attacks north of the Vistu1a. river were repulsed with heavy losses. the Berlin statement asserts. Military men in Petrograd are of the opinion that the Russian encircing move ment in both the north and south will compel the Germans to at tempt to break through the War saw front or. if successful. to re- treat nearly to the German bor- der.
 The Germans have begun an other offensive movement, ac- cording to unofficial advices to- day from Holland. It is said that Inc German heavy artillery went into action yesterday and that a

 Hartford. Jan. 19-aSenator Com ley introduced today resolution naming Frederic Al Bartlett judge of the city court of Bridgeport for a term of two years, from June g.. 1915. There was no nomination for deputy judge.
 terHewed today as to why depeuty Judge Wilder's name was not pre- sented at least for the unexpired term which runs until June 3rd said there were some question as to the legality of such appointment. They held that judges cannot be appointed except for a term of 2 years.
 It is generally known that Judge Wilder's name will not be included in the regular court nominations, but it was thought that he would be giv- en the nomination for the unexpired term.
 It is understood that several mem bers of the Republican machine in Bridgeport are unalterably opposed to Judge Wiider's name being pre- sented-,
 Senator 1sbell, chairman of the Ju- dietary committee told a Farmer re- porter today that he. was not certain as to the legal point raised by the Bridgeport delegation, but added that he would look the matter up before the Judiciary committee hearing, which is scheduled for tomorrow af- ternoon.
 Judge Wilder's term expires to- morrow. ' There will be a vacancy tla the deputy judgeship until his stc- cessor has qualified

New Earthquake Visits Des- olate Country and Inhabit. ants Refuse to Entsk Buildings, ,Preferring Cold to Danger.
Demolition of Railroads
 Cuts Off Many Survivors. From Those Eager to. Bring Them Relief- -Cal-
 abrians Are Panic Stricken

Rome, Jan. 1s-An earthquake of great force has shaken all caIabria En the southwestern part of Italy ba1t, so far as is known, has causedeznos loss of life.
 The shock appears to havg been severe in the neighborhood of Cosen- ga. provincial capital Thousands of inhabitants fled to the open where they insist on staying rather than run the chance of being buried in the. ruins of their homes.
 Throughout the earthquake belt in central Italy, even in towns where many of the buildings are stiu stand ing, apparently intact, the survivors of the catastrophe refuse to re-occupy open suffering terribly from exposure. I AS relief and rescue, work goes for ward it appears that some districts just south of Avexxano were as badly afflicted as that town with the per centage of dead to the total popula- ton almost as large.
 The situation in the case Of many towns and villages is more desperate because as yet adequate relief meas ures have not been taken and the number of persons working in the ruins is very small
  reported as having at least 2,000 vic ttrH1s. fully half of whom have been found buried sin the ruins of the churches there. The town has been virtually razed.
 The same story comes from other towns in the vicinity from San Bene- detto with 4.000 of it's 4,5O0 popuIa- ton dead: Ce1ano. 2,5OO feet up in the mountains, with 1000 dead; Pa terno with but 200 of it's 2.oO0 per sons still alive; Pescino with 4.0OO and more buried, and many other towns
 Though many of these places are but a. short distance from Avez1anos the supposed crater Of the disturb ance and the consequent relief work, they have been almost entirely tnac- cessib1e because of bIocka,des and ruined roads.
 CaIabria is in the southwestern ex- tre1nity of Italy, commonly called the 'stoe" of the mainland Kingdom. It is a mountainous region and disas- trous earthquakes have been ire quent there. The entire population of Cosenza as we'll as the inhabitants of PaoIa, Amente, Castrovt1Iard and Rossano left their houses when the earth shock occurred. Fortunately there were no casualties in these towns. The people. however, cannot be induced to return to their dwell fngs as they fear a repetition of the shocks.

Tagliacozzo Jan. 19-Not Iesal acute than the misery and suffering of the people of Avezzano is that of the inhabitants of the entire district to the south in Decin, Benedettes Gioji-De-Marsf and other towns. Ehei loss of life and damage to property in these places is equally as great but the needs of the sufferers have received far less attention. F Soldiers have arrived at several of these places to aid in the work of rescue but there is a lamentable scar city of food for both troops and tho people The temporary shelters pro vided also are inadequate to protect the people from the increasingly cold weather.
 Paterno. high up on the mountain side, suffered probably more than any other town in the whole sarthqualko5 region less than 200 persons have been saved out of a population Of D. 900 and not a single house remains standing. All are shapeless ruins
 The hourishipg town of Pescins is Q mass of ruins from which there is al- ready perceptIble the odor of dead bodies. More than 4,o00 of the pso- pIe of Pescins are buried under the which have been recovered lie on the ground at street corners.
 Although the living persons are stiu being dug out#sof the ruins there are only 150 soldiers at Pescins to assist the survivors in rescue work. The few surviving town officers complain bitterly of the goNernment's neglect They say no bread has been obtain able since Saturday and that the peo- pie and soldiers have had nothing to eat but vegetables
 The condition of the surviving pop ula,tion of the town of San Benedict to, near Pescinas is deplorable- Over 4,0OO of the inhabitants perished out of a total population of 4,500s Only volunteers from the nearby districts have been engaged in the rescue work. They took out 10 living children from they found a young woman and five months old child.
 No outside help of any kind reached San Benedetto until Sunday, aIthouga PescinaL is only three miles away. The (Conunueu on Page Two).
