FAVoRARLY RECEIVED.
Directors of Connecticut Mills Com Pany Pleased With Local Proposi- &ioa

Charles A. Tillinghast stated Friday that he had been informed by a rep resentaive of the Connecticut Mills company that the proposition of local business men to create $75 900 fund for the erection of a yarn mill at Indus trial place had been favorably received at meeting of the directors of the organization in New York. He also understands that action for the pur- chase of a mill elsewhere is delayed for the present.
 MT. Tillinghast expects soon to be in possession of more detailed informa- ton as to the company's position in the matter. As soon as this inforTna- tion is at hand, and everything is fa- vorable, the canvass for the remaining $50 900 to be subscribed will be taken up.
 The splendid spirit that Danielson has shown in the matter so far makes the prospect bright for getting the amount required, for threre is full real ization upon every hand of the great boost that such a plant would give to Danielson.

El Paso, March 25.-Carranza' de.
lay to permit the entrance into Mex

hardly disguised. The quartermas-

no permission for use of the line
would be given.

Failure to send supplies through

Sussex Was Torpedoed.

Paris, March 25.-The ministry of
marine, in an official statement issued
tonight from Paris, declared that the
Sussex was torpedoes and estimates
the number of victims at about so,
Scarcely any doubt exists tonight
that some American lives have been
lost with the destruction of the
steamer, Sussex.
Ambassador William G. Sharp sent
Naval Lieutenant Eernord Il. Smith,
by automobile, to Boulogne this after.
noon to investigate the cause of the
disaster and assist any Americans
who may need help.
Dispositions Being Taken.
The dispositions of some of the
American survivors, who have ar.
rived at Paris, are being taken bv the
embassy and they will be forwarded
to the state department at Washing
ton. .s.
From 80 to so persons. according
to the estimates here, out of $50 pas
sengers and the crew of Sc, were lost.
The weight of testimony is that the
Sussex was torpedoed by a .subma.
rine without warning.
London Reports State:
There were six Americans among
the 20 survivors of the Sussex who
reached Dover today on British de-
stroyer. The majority of the surviv-
ors agree with the opinion of the
French admiralty that the Sussex
was torpedoed by a submarine.
Miss Elizabeth Baldwin was killed
by the explosion. according to those
arriving at Dover, who state also that
Miss Edna Hilton is missing.
Nothing has been heard of the 9TH
er IL Americans who were aboard the
Sussex. However, as a great maj ior-
ity OF the rescued passengers were
landed at Boulogne, it may be possi-
Die they are among them.
1t is estimated officially that the
loss OF life will reach so. These were
either killed by the explosion or
drowned when one of the lifeboats
capslzed. Two passengers, man
ana a woman. died in hospital at
Dover tonight.

The Reichstag Adjourns Hurriedly
When Socialists Begin

Amsterdam, March 25.-Advices
from Berlin indicate that today's sit
ting of the Reichstag, although it was
only a brief session for consideration
of the emergency budget, pending dis
cussion of the regular budget in com
mittee, was the stormiest on record
and had to be closed by the president
owing to disorder caused by the So
cialist group.
1t began with heated discussion
The speech which caused the trouble
was by Herr Haase, who declared
that Germany would never win the
war, which would be drawn con
flict. He declared that the German
socialists hated ar and desired peace
Want Honest Peace.
'The best patriots in all the country
are those who speaA for an honest
peace" he is quoted as explaining.
These remarks provoked a tremen'
dous uproar, many socialists rising
from their seats and angrily dispuit-
ing with each other DR.. Davis, a So
cialist, shouted to Herr Haase:
"Your policy is causing a prolonga-
ton Of the war;"
Other Socialists showered such epi-
thets as traitor" on Herr Haase, who
again tried to speak, but members
crowded around him and threatened
to strike him, and the president hur-
riedly closed the sitting.

A struggling band of Villa bandits
