SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.
To act on Appropriation of $4,1OO
 for Ice House.

A special meeting of the comm on council has been called for Wednes- day night to take action on the appro- priation of $4,100 for making repairs to the municipal ice house and for harvesting the crop this winter. This amount was acted on favorably by the board of finance and taxation.
 Wednesday nights meeting will give the opponents of the ice house an- cther-and probably their last-op- I,ortunity to take a whack at the ven- ture. Opposition to continuing the business this winter has developed at nearly every meeting of the council or committees where the subject was dis cussed but so far it has been able to weather all revenues and criticism.

EXTRA DIVIDEND AND
 BONUS FOR EMPLOYES
New Britain Trust Company Trustees Plan Santa Claus to Stocking
 Holders and Salaried Men.


 Santa Claus dropped in late at the New Britain Trust company but the visit although delayed two days, was just as acceptable. The trustees met today and declared the regula~ quarterly dividend of three per cent. and in addition an extra dividend of three per cent. Both are payable on December 31.

Fifty-seven Mile Gale.

New Haven, Dec 27.-A four-hour fifty-seven miles an hour at times ac- companied by a fierce downpour of sleet and snow followed heavy all night deluge of rain yesterday fore neon, blowing down three houses, un- roofing four more, felling at least fourteen old trees that had escaped the axes of Forester Cromie's staff, blowing in many windows, including several costly glass, and performing many eccentricities in the way of de- struction, including the raging of the steeple of Grace Episcopal church in Hamden and the turning upside down of a toolhouse connected with the farm premises at Laurel Hill near Branford. In spite of all the damage Which mount into thousands of do1- lars, there was no fatality, only a few minor injuries being reported. Fne or two had narrow escapes from I1alling trees or limbs
 The storm did almost as much damage to transportation companies and even more to telephone and tele- graph communications than did that ot two weeks ago today. The elec- C&Ic power between New Haven and z Ssamford was again put out of com mission but it was expected that it would be restored during the night. The company's servants were doing their utmost to restore it. The signal service between this city and Hart ford, was also interrupted with the re- suit that trains over this line were many hours late.
 Three Serious BlocIxades.
 The Connecticut company met with fmany unexpected difnculties, the etorm taking them completely by sur tprise. However, much was done by rightfall to get every line in the city

Hartford County AloEo Suffers Loss of $1OO,OOO-Eight Deaths in Met ropOlis-Telegraph Communication in Several Sections Still Interrupted Owing to Leveling of Telegraph Poles.

Poles.
 New York. Dec. 27-Northern and eastern New York and New Eng land are slowly recovering today from the damage inflicted from yesterdays s storm. A succession of rain, snow, lightning, sleet and thunder winding mp with a gale that tore down wires and trees, unroofed houses and drove shipping ashore, caused widespread damage and many deaths and acci- dents.
 Photographic communication in some sections was still interrupted today, owing to the leveling of telegraph poles by the high wind. In similar manner the signal systems of rail- road lines running north and north Fast from New York were crippled and trains were not able to maintain their schedules.
 New England Hard Hit.
 New England suffered more sever, ely than New York City and reports from there told of severe damage to buildings and vessels caught in the path of the gale. The snowfall ex- scept in northern New England and northern New York was comparative ly light but sufficient to interrupt suburban street car service.
 Eight deaths in this city were di- Hrectiy or indirectly attributed to the storm. The wind here at one time attained velocity of ninety miles an hour.

GOUNARIS ANNOUNCES
 GREEK PREMIERSHIP
Believes Change in Govern. ment Not Only Unneces-
 sary But Unwise.

Berlin, Dec. 27, by wireless to Say
 ville.-M. Gounaris, whose party won 1 the recent general election in Greece, | has renounced his claims to the pre- 1 miership, the Overseas News Agency says. An Athens despatch received by the news agency states that M. Gounaris made a report to King Con- stantine on the outcome of the elec- tion, and added that, as the leader of the new majority party, he was willing to support the ministry of Premier Skouloudis. Owing to poli- tical conditions in Greece, he believ- ed change in government to be not only unnecessary but unwise.
 It is said the king agreed with his suggestion.
 Paris, Dec 27, 5:2O a. m.-The Athens correspondent of the Matin sends the following:
 Having interviewed M. Venizelos on the subject of the elections and obtained from him an affirmation that his triumph was demonstrated by the small number of votes boiled, I called upon M Gounaris who denied there was any considerable number of ab- stentions and claimed that even if the 30O,OO0 soldiers mobilized had been able to vote the result would have been the same. I then sought to ask about the foreign policy of Greece but M. Gounaris interrupted me, saying:
 'Greece's policy is unchanged. Greece is a small state which does not want to be dragged into the war which might involve a catastrophe like those which have befallen Bel gium and Serbia. We are Greeks and nothing else. I am neither a Ger manophile nor a Francophile but just a Greek. Germanophiles do not exist in Greece.
 All Greece, even under present circumstances remained attached to England, France and Russia to which she owes her existence and her de- velopment. But you cannot ask that these sentiments should go far as to lead us, without absolute necessity into the conflic and we believe noth- ing now requires us to cease our neu- trality. Greece always will feel keen 1y whatever happens for better or worse to France but we cannot do more.
 'I then asked M. Gounaris to ex- plain how, if the Bulgarians are the enemies of Greece, the Greek people could agree to the al- lies army falling back indefinitely be- fore the Bulgars on Greek territory.
 Now you are going into the do- main of the future,' he replied, ard l cannot enter into that ["

American Consul BriStOW at Port Said Cables Washington Re-
 garding YaSaka Maru
SAYS LINER MADE NO
 ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE


 matic Correspondence With Teu-
 tonic Powers.
 Washington, Dec 27.-American Consul Bristow at Port Said cabled today that no warming was given the Japanese liner Yasaka Maru before she was torpedoed and sunk in the Mediterranean last Tuesday by sub- marine of unestablished nationality. The liner, he added, made no attempt to escape.
 in response to Secretary Lansing's call for reports on the disaster, was the first official information on the incl dent which probably will be the sub ject of further diplomatic cOrres- pondence with the Teutonic powers.
 Sunk in Forty-Nine Minutes.
 Today's report said the submarine was not seen until after the liner had been torpedoed and that then only her periscope was visible. The ship sank in forty-nie miutes ad the sur vivors-120 passengers, including an American, w. J. Leigh, and the 162 men of the crew-were picked up by a French cruiser and landed at Port Said, from where the first reports of the sinking came last week.
 The general assumption is that the subma rine must have been German or Austrian. Renewed efforts will be made to determine it's nationality and to that effect prOba bly will be sent out today by the state depart ment If it can gather the necessary on which to proceed, the United States is prepared to include the incident in it's diplomatic repre- sentations against the sinking of non- combatant ships without warning.
 Wide Possibilities.
 The outcome of the Yasaka Maru case is generally regarded by of ficials and diplomats here as sur rounded with wide possibilities re- garding Japans future course in the war. It has been suggested that she might answer the challenge to her shipping by wide preparation in the war, even to the extent of taking part in the operations in Europe.
 As Germany has already given as- surances that her submarine com manders were under instructions not to attack liners without warning there was disposition to believe the atta clsing boat was an Austrian.
