Returning Americans
 Will Face HardshipS

The Hague, Feb. 9-Maurice M. Langhorne, American charge d'af- faires here, has telegraphed former Ambassador Gerard in Berlin, asking him to divert as many Americans departing from Germany as possible to Denmark or Switzerland, owing to restricted accommodations, food diff faculties and absence of shipping fa- cilities in Holland.
 The Hague, Feb. g, via London, 2:42 p. m.-Unanimous approval is given by the Dutch newspapers to the answer sent by Foreign Minister Loudon to the American Charge d'affaires here declining, as. did the other European neutrals, to follow President Wilson's suggestion that they break off diplomatic relations with Germany, which some say would have been dangerous" The news papers declare that Washington should have foreseen the presidents suggestion would not meet with suc- cess. They are equally unanimous, however, in pointing out that non- compliance is not to be interpreted as recognition of Germany's ruth Iessness or abandonment of claims/t satisfaction should neutral sea com munications be interfered with.

Murray, Fugitive
 From Justice Is
 Recovering Health

Frederick Murray, the fugitive from justice who last week shot himself on the steps of his mothers home, Strat- ford avenue, near Sixth street, is rap idly improving in condition at the Bridgeport hospital.
 It is likely that the warrant for his arrest, issued in Trumbull last June, will be served upon him when he is sufficiently recovered to be taken to the county ail
 Information lodged with the Trum- bull authorities alleges that Murray, while employed as a farm hand with William Hennigan, ransacked the household during the absence of the family and made. away with about $50 in cash.
 He later was heard from in New Haven and was informed that he would he arrested as soon as he made his appearance in this county. It Is believed that it was in the effort to escape the consequences of his alleged act that he attemptd to end his life at the home of his mother. But for the timely discovery of his huddled form in the doorway of the home he would undoubtedly have succeeded.

Hartford Feb. 9.-The proposal to investigate the circumstances of the New Haven railroads grant of freight service on a trolley line through East Hartford to Glastonbury, to J. H. Hale of the latter place was shunted to a siding today when the senate in con- currence with the house accepted the report of the judiciary committee turn ing down the resolution, which was fathered by Representative Rogers.
 Senator Klett, chairman of the ju- dietary committee, and Senator Hunt of Glastonbury, both spoke iA favor of the report. Senator Hunt dwelt on MT. Hales reputation as man of in- tegrity, and described him as splen- did citizen. He denied publicly that MT. Hale had ever befriended him in an especial way, as has been intimat- ed because he, was helped through col lege. He said he merely received as- sistance that Nr. Hale had given to thousands of other young men in this state, and there was no special favor in his case. He said he spoke in the interests of seeing justice done MT. Hale in the eyes of the public.
 Senator Koppleman took occasion during the debate to call attention of Iuc ScudI0 LO Lu0 WIOLClGu trolley SGT. vice in Hartford. He said he regret. ted that MT. Hale is the storm center of all the agitation over trolley mat ters,~ however, he felt that some good might result from the agitation. He said it might have the effect of mak- ing one of the public service commis- sion members get out of bed before z a. m and try to get. aboard one of the Hartford trolleys.

Spouse Imbibes Gin,
 ~ Says Divorce Seeker

His wifes custom of sending, the children to a nearby saloon to buy gin was one of the reasons why William H. Russell of this city appeared be- fore Judge Bennett in the superior court this morning to seek a divorce from Nellie Russell. Russell declared he had to leave his home when his wife insisted that her sister, a woman of bad reputation, should live in the same house. Russell thought such surroundings were not proper for his four children.
 Later when Russell tried to return to the house he was thrown out. In this affair his head was badly cut. The plaintiff said he hadn't lived with his wife since May 25, 1913. He has supported the children. The couple were married October 1, 1905, Mrs. Russell's maiden name having been Nellie McCauley. Judge Bennett granted the divorce on the ground of desertion.
 The case of Daisy Daniels Jackson Of this city against Walter c. Jack son, continued from last week, was heard again <. Mrs. Jackson produced another witness who could swear to her husbands cruel treatment and the court allowed a divorce.

Washington, Feb. 9-Prelininary reports before the state department today on the sinking of merchant vessels without warning by German submarines contained evidence of American rights, yet the government was holding it's peace until some out rage presenting a more clear cut issue should compel it to act, Information on all ships torpedoed Is being col lected and it was said officially that up to today the situation had not changed.
 Special attention was given to the report that in the sinking of the Brit ish steamer Turino yesterday an American negro sailor lost his life, and to the case of the California, the big passenger ship that carried an American when sunk without warn- ing on Wednesday.
 George Washington, the negro fire- man, who lost his life on the Turino, was reported by Consul Frost today to be apparently" a British subect. It was said that he was born in AL berta, Canada.
 President Wilson, pursuing his gen.
  refrain from any act that might be construed as being prompted by an motive in the crisis, authoriz- ed an announcement that bank de- posits, merchant ships and other pri- vate property of foreigners will not be seized,t even in case of war. This confirmed a provision of the Prussian- American treaty of 1928, without ac- tually re-ratifying the convention.
 Officials were impressed anew with the apparent success of Germanys new campaign as they received re- ports of the aggregate tonnage sunk in the last few days, but they looked for early action by the British ad- miralty to convoy merchant shipping. or otherwise to lessen the destruction of her vessels.
