MAIL FROM CANADA
is BEING CENSORED
Norwich People Complain That Some
Mail Does Not Reach This City.

Norwich people receiving mail from
points in Canada have noticed that
lately the mail has been censored.
Others have complained that mail sent
them from Canada and points in Eu-
rope has not reached them at all. The
mail waiting in New York for deliv-
cry in Europe has clOgged the post
office in that city.
When the American liner New York
leaves for Liverpool at noon Wednes-
day she will take the biggest load Of
mail ever carried on a steamship in
any part of the world. The postoffice
officials notified the International Mer-
camille Marine company that so far
there were 1000 sacks of first class
mail ready for shipment to England
and the continent. The company was
requested to make arrangements to
receive the mail on board and this has
been done.
4 pier official said that the II 900
sacks would weigh about $50 tons and
occupy 1900 cubic feet of space in the
hold. The mail for the New York does
not close until $50 a. m. Wednesday.
so it is probable that another $500
bags Will be added, along with 1900
baskets of post parcels.
The congestion of mail for Europe
has been created through the taking

are much heavier than they We're be-
fore the war, the mail service to Eu-
rope through the Suez canal having
| been disOrganiZed by the German and
Austrian submarine activity in the
Mediterranean.
The American liners carry about
1000 tons of express freight at the
rate of $50 ton between New York
and Liverpool, and so out fun every
trip, as they deliver the goods within
eight or nine days. The charge of
carrying the $50 tons of mail at $50 a
ton would amount to S45. 900. The post
office will not have to pay that sum,
however, as the American line receives
mail subsidy of 81 for every mile its
steamships travel on the voyage to
Liverpool and return 10 New York
without regard to the amount of mail
carried. so that the steamship COM

BRANDEGEE GIVES TALK
ON DYE SITUATION
Speech on Lodge Amendment ProV;d-
ing for Protection is Interesting.

Senator Brandegee's speech on the
lodge amendment for the protection
of dyestuffs in the senate last week
attracted considerable attention. Sen
ator Brandegee said:
Il had no idea this amendment was
to be offered by the senator from Mas
sachusetts, and I am free to say l am
not prepared to discuss the matter
extensively, but when the senator from
Massachusetts stated that his amend
ment was the bill introduced by Mr..
Hill of Connecticut, | turned to the
Record to see what he had said about
that question in the house. I find
here in the Record under date of Feb.
IA, 1916, on page 2S91 of the Record,
the remarks of Mr.. Hill upon this in
dustry. upon its history, upon the va
rious rates of duty which have been
imposed upon these articles in the
past, and there are certainly some
most astounding statements in his
speech. astounding in that they show
the absolute dependence uDOn-nOt to
say abject subsection of this country
to-Germany in this whole question of
dyestuffs and acids and chemical pro-
ducts.
Il will read just one extract, which
is the testimony of DR.. Pratt, who is
the chief of the bureau of foreign
commerce, and it is said to appear
on page 202 of the hearings. He says:
The European artificial dyestuff
industry is more than a large and
prosperous industry. 1t is a highly
organized combination of manufacture
ers seeking not only to enlarge their
output and to compete with similar
manufacturers in other parts of the
world, but carrying on a definite in
dustrial program looking TO the con-
troll of the market and the ultimate
elimination of important competitors
This factor in the situation has ma q
it pra ctically impossible for the
American dyestuff industry up to the
present time to get a really firm foot
hold. and has made it necessary fO!
US to import a large proportion of ON
dyeStUffs and has placed us in the po-
sition where we find ourselves today
practically in the midst of a dyestuf
famine. These unfair methods o
competition on the part of our com.

Cranston, r. L, April 1.-THE mys-
terry of the disappearance more than
five years ago of Miss Dorothy Arnold,
member of g. wealthy New York fam
ily may be solved by the purported
confession of Edward Glennorris, an
inmate of the state prison here, giving
details of her burial in the cellar of
house outside of West Point, N. Y. The
young woman had died in the house,
he said, after being removed in an I'M
conscious condition from New Rochelle,
n. Y, where she had been operated on.
Paid $3.50 by "a Wealthy Man."
In a statement to Warden A. ].
Davis of the prison which he made
three weeks ago and and which he
repeated to newspaper men today, the
prisoner said he was paid $3.50 for
what he did, by a wealthy man"
whose name he did not know. An ac-

to his story and drove the automobile

that year that Dorothy Arnold left the
home of her father, Francis r. Arnold,
a wealthy New York importer, and
dropped out of sight.
Glennorris, who still has six months
of a two years sentence to serve for
attempted extortiOn from a Providence
clergyman, expressed his willingness to
assist in locating the house in which
the body was buried and that from
which the young woman was taken.
He felt confident that he could find
them again, although he said he had
been at those places only at night.
At the house in New Rochelle
Glennorris remembered one man who
was addressed as DOC" and another
from whom later he received his pay

told him they would have to so back
to West Point again to finish their
job When they got there they were
told the girl had died and her body
must be buried.
Body Wrapped In a Sheet.
"A grave had been partly dug in the
cellar of the house. We had to make
it deeper and then the body was
brought down wrapped in a sheet and
placed in the hole. We covered it with
dirt. l was told 1 would get my money
within a day or two. They sent me
$3.50. l had already received 500 be-
fore we took the girl from New

Arnold. Glennorris said he had insisted

Warden Davis said tonight that when

tive agency in Providence to look intC
it. When he was told that represen-

day that they did not credit the story
enough to make inquiries, he said he
could not understand il. He would moi
say whether he had found any reason
to change his previous disbelief in the
alleged confession.
