EMBARGO ON
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
Freight Accumulation Makes it Nec- essary to Place Limit on Shipments.


 Effective at midnight Tuesday the New Haven road placed an embargo on all car load and less than car load shipments of freight. The embargo is made necessary by the accumulation of freight and freight cars faster than they can be unloaded.
 The embargoes have been placed against spelter, copper, pig lead, iron or steel construction material, cement, wall plaster, stone. lime, brick, lum- Der. terra cotta and tile, from New York city, Brooklyn terminals and New York literage points or from water craft at Long Island Sound ports and Boston; against all freight for lighterage delivery in New York harbor and against all shipments to the Merchants & Miners Transporta- tion company at Providence and Bos- ton.
 Shipments of live stock, perishable freight, food stuffs for human con- sumption, feed for live stock news print paper for domestic use only, charcoal, fuel oil and gasoline in tank cars are excepted.
 To insure effectiveness of the em- bargoes all shipments not included in the foregoing exceptions, showing ev- idence of forwarding subsequent to Feb. 2S will not be accepted at june tion points during its continuance.
 1heSe 0IIlDdTBOGS uO UOl dDpIy local business between points on the New Haven road.
 These embargoes are necessarily drastic because of the overtaxed fa- cilities of the road and receipt of freight in greater volume than con- signees are able to dispose of prompt ly.
 On Feb. "A the number of cars on the road was 55,526 against 39,517 for the same day in 1915 and 39,1 for the same day in 1914. The hum Der of cars on the road Feb. 24, 1916, 55,526, was the largest of any day in the history of the New Haven com pany.
 Big Increase in Cars.
 The number of cars on the road has increased over 5000 in the last few days the number of cars awaiting order that the road may be operated it is absolutely essential that the number of cars on the road be re- duced in order to allow time sufficient for consignees to v~'oad the surplus of cars now so far above normal and also to give the cUmpdny opportunity to get from its lines to its connections the excess of cars now largely above normal on the road.
 A rigid enforcement of these em- bargoes will help to clear up the sit- uation. The continued assistance of ly will hosten the time when the em- bargoes can be lifted.
 The management is doing every thing within its power to clear up the heavily congested freight condi- uons Of the road. In its efforts to build up the system, and in spite of the difficult financial conditions the company has had to confront, in a lit- tie over two years there have been expended over SS.o0o. 900 for new equipment end the comUanY has au-

ATTACKED FALLAcIES OF
 THE PROTESTS. Student Body of Brown University Heard Everett Colby on Vital Sub ject.

Everett Colby, the New Jersey pro- gressive leader, speaking before the students of Brown university Tuesday night on the Issues of the Coming Presidential Campaign, attacked "the fallacies of the pacifists'' and declared for the ultimate adoption of a system OG compulsory military service like that of Switzerland.
 As a second issue he urged that the United States should repudiate its tra- ditional policy of remaining aloof from the affairs of European states and enter upon a vigorous foreign policy to enforce obedience to international law whenever and wherever violated. As a signatory to The Hague convention of 1899, the duty of our government when the neutrality of Belgium was violated was clear

LOVE SPURNED, GIRL
LEAPS FROM WINDOW
Dives From Fourth Story of
Her Vine Street Home and
May Die

Love that was not returned drove n
young woman to dive from fourth-story
window early today. She may die.
The girl Miss Tillle Stark % years
old. was found on the sidewalk in front
of her home, at 122 Vine street, at 4:30
o'clock this morning No one saw her
leap. but relatives said she had been
brooding over her broken engagement.
It was crumpled-up form that n
passer-by found in the gutter. He rang
the bell OF the home of Policeman Liston
at 1874 Vine atrcet. The patrol wagon of
the ith and Race streets station took the
girl TO the Hahnemann Hospital where
il was found she had a probable frac-
tured skull and a broken wrist and
elbow She was unconscious.
Samuel Reichlin, of 1911 Bartram ave-
nue., whom Miss stark loved, declared he
would go to the hospital to see her.

for 1t was whispered here and there that
he was anywhere from 76 to $50 years
old, was found dead in his quaint room
at $50 Race street,
Lumgun was strictly a member of the
old guard. He dressed in the old fashion,
boasted that he never wore white mans
collar" and looked with disgust upon those
that did, Furthermore he never cut off
his queue, as nearly all of the Celestials
have done since the movement TO become
"Melicanized" struck the settlement.
He kept his queue intact and was proud
of it. He was a favorite of the street,
and in his last days-for he had been sick
for three weeks-his neighbors used to
come i'm and feed him. In exchange for
their kindness Lumgun would entertain
them with tales Of Chinatown as II was
in the old days-how he ran his opium den
under the open protection of the police,
and how he made his wealth out of 1t.
But there was a story Simon would
never tell, and that was about his wife,
whom he left back In China when he came
to America as young maR TO seek a for
tune. The immigration authorities stopped
her entrance with her children.
Years later Simon returned a rich man
to China to bring his love back. but he
was again stopped and told that his wife
could not enter. Three trips in all were
made by Simon, but each time his wife
was prevented from accompanying him.
IL is said by the nodding celestlaIs that
grief, caused by the separation from his
wife. as well as old age and the opium
habit caused his death.

CITY HALLS SECRETS
TOLEAK OUT NO MORE;
TALKATTVE ONE GAGGED
Safety Department Head Tells
Bureau Chief Who Gossiped
About Connolly Opinion to
Close Mouth
REPORTED ON ART JURY

city Hall for weeks past has been suf-
ferlng from an official leak" which has
caused Mayor Smith, Director Wilson, of
the Department of Public Safety, and
other officials annoyance and embarrass-
ment by the premature publication of
plans and opinions. The leak through
which filtered City Solicitor Connely's
opinion that the Art Jury is an Illegal
body and the probable settlement of the
long-standing municipal case against Clay
and Virgins, has been discovered and
today was quietly plugged"
In addition to the two reports about
City Solicitor Connelly's office others of
with such frequency that It was a matter
of comparatively little difficulty for Di-
rector Wilson, of Public Safety Depart
ment, to trace them to their source and to
take the necessary steps to put an end
TO the annoyance. Other stories said to
have made their way through the subter-
ranean passage had to do with the paint
ing of municipal automobiles to prevent
joy riding out of business hours and
number of similar character
A bureau chief in the Department of
Public Safety accused of "leaking" has
been unofIicially warned to quit talking"
but the warning came too late to pre-
vent the publication of some unasked-for
opinions from the City Solicitors office
and the plan to settle for n comparatively
small sum the case against former Di-
rector Henry Clay, of the Department of
Public Safety, and his favorite contractor
Virgins.
1t is generally understood that City
Solicitor Connolly will present an opinion
defining the legal status of the Art Jury
just as soon as Director Wilson, of the
Department of Public Safety, or any other
department chief asks for It. That such
an opinion will be asked is certain, as diff
fcultes between the Art Jury and de-
partmental heads have been of frequent
occurrence No action was contemplated
at this time, however, and the opinion of
the City Solicitor will not be forthcom-
ing on the eve of an election, unless pres
ent plans are materially altered.
Mayor Smith and members of his Cab
met are using every effort to avoid friction
or useless discussions at this time, and
the leak" has injected trouble into'a sit
uation already full of trouble because of
the police in politics controversy.
No art jury discussion is planned at
this time nor has any official action been
taken along the lines covered by the
leak" in advance reports. 1t is not de-
MED, however, that the reports given pre-
mature publication have been founded on
inside information and that every effort
will be made to prevent any further
eaking.

London published in this mornings papers,
stating that all married Englishmen ell
igible for military service, who are liv-
ing abroad, and who ordinarily are resi-
dents of Great Britain, must return to
England forthwith and report for military
duty" So said Hugh A. Ford, Acting
Consul General for Great Britain, at his
office In the Drexel Building.
The announcement was made in the
House OF Commons yesterday by Sir
George Cave, the Solicitor General.
"In the absence of any explicit infor-
nation or instructions on the matter"
said Mr., Ford, my personal opinion is
that such an order cannot be enforced. and
believe 1t applies only to such subjects
OF Great Britain as formerly served in
the army in the United Kingdom and are
now residents in the AhIed countries"
There are" he continued. more than

Philadelphia, counting both men and
women. Many of these are working In
