STRONG OPPOSITION TO CLOSING HICKS
 STREET DEVELOPS
Only One Person Favorable, Representing Interests of
 Acme Shear Go.

That the proposed Grand street bridge should have a terminus at fare on the east bank of the Pequon- mock river, rather than at Arctic street as has been proposed is the be- lief of A. w. Burritt and some other business men. A resolution passed the council last night proposing referendum vote on a $22o,0OO bond issue for the purpose of building the bridge and making this matter the order of the day for the next meeting of the council.
 Last night before the council there was a public hearing on the petition of the Acme Shear Go. to close Hicks street from Joseph street to the water of the company, was the only one who appeared in favor of this peti- ton. He said this portion of the street was used by his, company alone and that it would considerably facili- tate the company's business if the petition was granted. He thought no one would oppose.
 A. w Burrft said he had no desire to start a controversy but he was op- posed to the petition because he thought a more advantageous eastern end of the Grand street bridge could be located in the vicinity of Hicks street.
 Malcolm Shaw of s7 Joseph street, opposed the petition declaring it to be "a high handed outrage" Frank G. F'inney who said he appeared for a number of property owners in the vicinity also opposed it. He said he was opposed to the closing of any street and that the petition was against the policy for better Bridgeport.
 Representative Garlick appeared for James Blake1y and also opposed the petition. He said that valuable wharf property would be lost to the city if the petition was adopted. He did not think the Acme Shear Co. would be willing to pay proper dam ages if the petition passed.
 Next week the proposition to sub init a referendum bond issue for $130,000 to build a, new East Wash ington avenue bridge. will be the or der of the day. An amendment to the ordinance was adopted releasing members of the board of contract and supply from furnishing bonds and requiring the clerk only to fur nish a $5,OO0 bond
 The action of the council on Jan. 4, 1915, increasing the salary of the sanitary inspector of the board of health from $1,35O per year was de- clared invalid and action was taken last night to -legalize the measure.
 As had been foretold in the Farm CT the report Of the miscellaneous committee recommending abatements go that those property owners on the lists of 1913 pay taxes in the First district only will be assessed l but 1o.2 mills was adopted. Those who have been paid in excess will have their money refunded. Those who have not paid will no tbe charg- ed interest for their delinquency pro- vided they pay up on or before April I, 1915.
 B1ackman Place was accepted as | a street and a report was read from l City Engineer Terry saying it will re- l quire $6, 900 to build a. proper storm l water sewer in Wa1demere Place.

SPAIN MAINTAINS RESERVE
 TOWARD WAR ZONE PLAN

Madrid, Feb. 16-The spanish gov ernment has adopted an attitude of extreme reserve regarding it's position on. Germany's note announcing the determination to include the waters around Great Britain in the war zone. While Spain will try to avoid action which would give any be1ligerent an excuse to accuse it of departing from it's attitude of neutrality, it is under stood that the government will join with the United States if the latter proposes joint measures on the part of all neutrals.

Lessons of Linooln,s Death.

II is just half century since the nation
was shocked by the terrible tidings that Abraham
Lincoln, president OF the United States, had been
assassinated. The news, evil enough under the
best OF conditions. was rendered inexpressibly
sad, because Il came at time when the whole
country was rejoicing at the ending of the civil
war Universal sorrow in which even his bitter
enemies and relentless critics shared. followed
the announcement, and the new era for the
United States was begun under the shadow OF
national bereavement
Lincoln's death came at a most critical mo-
ment in the history OF the nation when the
work OF reconstruction Of the union was about
to take on definite form, and when his wisdom
prudence and patience would have been invsl-
liable. Grant had Just made certain there
would be no boundary line dividing this country
into two. and Lincoln looked calmly ahead to the
task Of binding up the wounds of and clos
ing the breach between north and south. What
ever he might or might not have done, restora-
ton OF the union certainly delayed by his
death, because of the acrimonious conflict that
almost Immediately arose between President
Johnson and the congress.
Abraham Lincoln left to his country al
heritage OF stable achievement and priceless ex-
ample He is the finest example OF American
citizenship, because Of the conditions under
which he lived. of the obstacles that interposed
between him and the goal to which he finally
attained, and for his lofty ideals and noble
conception OF the rights OF man and the respon-
sblity Of the individual His memory will be
revered while the republic lasts, and his place
in the worlds short list of truly great is firmly
fixed.

The samurai Spirit.

Stories coming out from Germany suggest
that the modern German Is imbued with the old
Samurai spirit--that he disdains death and
goes out to die when he starts to war. Which
win permit the question, Can a man better
serve his country by living or by dying? OF
what use can corpse be, even though by death
the individual set example of disdain OF
death? Very few men fear death as such; all
recognise a. as AN. inevitable Incident in exist
ence and. sngiy. or IN groups, face it with equa,
nimity, not only on the battlefield. but in all
places where duty Is accompanied by danger.
To use the term "samurai spirit" in connec-
ton with the German of today seems incongru-
GUS and strangely out Of place. Twenty cen
turtles ago he might have gone singing to his
death. feeling sure of ride with the valkyrie
and place in Walhalla. Today the German.
Just then is intensely patriotic but he is also
intensely practical, and certainly is not inclined
to regard death as serviceable. unless II carries
with It advantage to the Fatherland. No silly
notions animate the warriors who battle for
Germany. and II they seem to exhibit the "samu-
raj spirit. 1t is because they in deadly earn

Just one year ago victoriano Huerta. the
president OF Mexico, ordered his commander at
Tampico not to salute the American flag as de-
msnded, and that salute was never given. A
naval demonstration was made Mexico's princi-
pal port was occupied, at the cost OF several
American lives and some troops we're on duty
at Vera Cruz for many months TO no apparent
purpose. Today Huerta walks the streets of
New York, under the protection OF the flag he
refused to salute, but for which he perhaps, has
greater respect than he held a year ago. What
his plans, undivuIged may contemplate in way
of further participating in the uhhappiness and
disturbance of Mexico, may only be guessed at
II is certain, though. that "watchful waiting"
will again have to include Huerta. for he is an
expert at the game of intrigue and violence as
practiced In Mexican politics.
