VALEDIcToRY ADDRESS
 BY SENATOR MARITIME.
New Jersey Member Retires With
 We'll Wishes of Entire Body.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Legislative and international problems were laid aside today by the senate for time to listen to valedictory address by Senator Maritime of New Jersey, who retires March after six years ser vice. The senator paid his respects to political opponents and answered crit his party by declaring that he had always voted his convictions.
 'It has been said in published state ments that l was a sheer accident. a Joke a -mountebanlS, a buffoon and a disgrace to this body" he shouted, striding up and down the center aisle. But no man ever said I was a moral coward, a pretender; that is my an- swer to these villainous and cowardly attacks"
 Senator Maritime said he believed in direct elections of senators. had sought to establish such procedure, and now bowed to the peoples fiat at such an election. He added that he had found the senate wonderfully hu- man and knew of mo place so well calculated to take out a mans ego tisrn"'
 Senators Lodge and Kenyon replied assuring the New Jersey senator that he would leave with the well wishes and affectionate regard of all mem bers.
 Every man of this body feels a per- sonal loss in the departure of the sem ator from New Jersey" said Senator Kenyon. The most needful thing in public life today is courage-some- abundance. No one ever saw him finch in performance of a public duty. Hypocrisy never had a place in his soul"

 SENDS LETTER TO PRESIDENT
Reauesting That Some Action Be Taken to Protect American Lives.

New York, Feb. 28.-George A. Young of this city, nephew of A2rs. Mary Elizabeth Hoy, who with her daughter lost her life on the Laconia, made public today the letters he wrote yes- terday to President Wilson, Secretary of State Lansing, United States Sena- tor Wadsworth of New York and Rep@ resentative Chandler of New York.
 To the president MT. Young wrote.
 T am advised by cable this morning that my aunt, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth hoys and my cousin. Miss Illizabefh Hoy, both American born and Ameri- can citizens, lost their lives as re- suit of the torpedoing on Sunday of the Cunard liner Iaconia.
 ''I am myself American born and an American citizen. My father and are the nearest male relatives in this country of Mrs. and Miss Hoy. Mrs. Hoy, her husband and her daughter have spent most of their time Of late years in London with Mrs. Hoys only son, Austin Y. Hoy, who is European manager for the Sullivan Machinery corporation.
 Now, sir. you will perhaps pardon me if in this moment of distress T speak somewhat strongly. My aunt and cousin are dead and nothing that can be done by you or the American nation can return them to life. But Is it not time, sir, that you, as leader of this nation, assume your duty of leadership. stop talking and take some definite action to prevent the recur- renee of such disaster?'
 MT. Young's letter to Secretary Lam sing was similar in tone.

MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS TO
 SUPPORT PRESIDENT. NELSON
Entire Congressional Deiesation Has
 So Voted.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Michigans en- tire republican congressional delega- tion voted today to support the armed neutrality bill, not to obstruct defense legislation and to cooperate in every way with President Wilson in the in ternational crisis. The delegation had been called together by Senator Will jam Alden Smith.
 This action furnished the first di- rect evidence of changing republican sentiment toward the president s course in the international crisis and was regarded as particularly signlf- cant in view of the fact that Senator Smith a member of the foreign rela- tions committee, was one of those. who did not favor the armed neutrality bill as it was agreed to in the committee yesterday. The senator said today that while he though the bill might be improved, he was for it and would stand behind the president now that the bill had been presented.
 A potent force to overturn opposi- ton not only among republicans but among some of the democrats in the senate was the series of circumstan- tia1 stories from Europe regarding the destruction of the British liner Laconia and the death of two American wo- men.
 One democratic senator said tonight that only official confirmation of all the grim details of that tragedy were being awaited by some of the senators, who until now have been opposed to the armed neutrality bill.
