LONDON. Jan. 24.- The British government has refused permission to the Hstfelds Ltd. to proceed with work on the contract for shells for the American navy "so long as the exigencies of war continue.

Jan. 24.-5essee Pomer oy, who has been for 41 years in soli- tary confinement in the state prison at Charlestown. was granted equal privileges with other prisoners by the state executive council today. Con victed of murder at fifteen. Pomeroy was two years later locked up in a cell lighted from a window in the ceiling so that he might not gaze on his fellow men. He was exercised apart from the other prisoners, and barred. as far as possible, from hu man companionship.
 Now, at the age of 5S, Pomeroy will move into a cell where he can see passersby, will be allowed to exercise with other prisoners, sit with them at church services, and at the prison en- tertainments, and will be given such light work in the prison shops as his somewhat enfeebled health will per nit Governor Mccall announced to- night that he approved the commuta- tion.
 Pomeroy was convicted of the mur- der of two children following a series of degenerate acts which had terror ized the South Boston and Dorchester districts of the city. He was sen fenced to be hanged, but because of his youth the sentence was commuted to solitary confinement for life. On September ', 1876, he was placed in his solitary cell at the Charles Street jail But he did not drop out of the public record. Reports of his efforts to escape, carried through with pa tient ingenuity, became public at ire quent intervals His mother, until her death two years ago, never re- faxed her efforts to secure his pardon, and was allowed to see her son regu- larly
 When Pomeroy began his sentence he was poorly educated. Now he can read in seven languages, and at the age of 57 is studying Arabic. and has been diligently studying law as it bears on his case

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2i.-The amount of whiskey consumed by F the American people in 1916 was F greater than in any previous year
 F since 1909. according to tax re- turns to the treasury department
 compiled today, and the amount E of revenue collected by the gov

 believe a portion of the increase

ONE BRITISH SHIP
 SUNK, ONE DAMAGED
London, However, Reafirms Sinking of a German De- stroyer-Battle was Fought in Pitch Black Darkness.
(By Review Leased Wire. )

BERLIN, Jan. 24-One British
 destroyer was sunk and another
 was observed to be in a sinking
 condition in the North Sea naval
 engagement, the admiralty an-
 nounces. One German torpedo
 boat put in at Ymuiden in a dam
 aged condition. The others re-
 turned with slight damages.
 Germany's Claims
 The announcement follows:
 ''In the course of an enterprise
 undertaken by a portion of our
 destroyer forces, an engagement
 occurred early in the morning of
 January 23 with British naval
 forces. One enemy destroyer was
 sunk during the fight. After the
 engagement second was observ-
 ed by cur airplanes to be in
 sinking condition. One of our tor
 pedo boats was in distress owinq
 to damages, according to news
 received at Ymuiden. All other
 boats returned with slight dam- age"
 The official British account of the engagement given out last night said that a British destroyer was torpe. doed with the loss of AZ men and that a German destroyer was sunk.
 London Claims Victory
 LONDON, Jan. 24-Latest reports from the action in the North Sea serve only to confirm the official an nouncement of the admiralty. It is not considered likely that many de tails will be added to the official re- port as the battle was fought in a night of pitch blackness. Naval of ficers are surprised that an engage ment was possible under these cir cumstances and point out that as the carried no lights, accur- ate gunnery must have been exceed ingly difficult.
 The theory that the German de- stroyers were driven from Zeebrugge by ice is not given much credence by naval officers who declare it is not even certain that the German fotilla came from that Belgian port
 The bow of the British destroyer lost in the engagement was complete ly carried away by a German torpedo and since it was considered impossi- ble to tow her to port. she was sunk as, if she were left afloat, she might become a menace to other units of the British fiotilla.
