MUzME DOGS TOMORROW
Law, Which Becomes Effective at .. m. Win Be Rigidly Enforced, Authorities State Today.

The state law which will be en- forced here at the order of the state commissioner on. domestic animals, providing that all dogs must be muzzled with. wire muzzle, will be come effective at o'clock tomorrow morning. From that time until July all dogs on the public streets, whether held in check by . leash or not, must be muzxled.
 Already the various hardware stores about the city have been taxed to supply muscles for dogs and 1t has been estimated that several hundred have been sold.
 s.Chief of Police w. J. Rawlings stated today that this law will be en- forced to the letter. He had so noti- fled his patrolmen and Dog Warden Coffey has received similar instruc- tions. All dogs found running, loose without muzzles will be confiscated by the police and their owners will be subject to fine of $7.
 '"Thfs measure, though naturally unpopular, is a preventative one and if it fs to accomplish results 1t must be rigidly enforced; regardless of the personal feelings of individuals and their dogs. It will be enforced" the authorities stated this morning.

INSIST ON CLEAN AUTO PLATES. Police Open Spring Campaign and
 Advise Cleanup.

Cleanup days for autoistS have arrived and those disregardlng police orders to keep license number plates sufnciently free from dust to make interpretation possible from. the le- gal distance are likely to receive sum- mons into court. Beginning today, traffic policeman are stopping all au- tomobiles where license plates are so covered with dust and other ma- terials that the numbers are ob- scured. Many have been stopped and the preliminary warning given.r
 Recently there have been many complaints relative to dirty license plates and inability to read the num- bers when accidents have happened. This has happened several times where dogs have. been run down and the autoist has gone on without stop ping. It is also alleged that some use artificial means in havng dirty number plates with an ulterior mo- tive. Oil smeared. over the plates as an aid in collection of dust is sus- pected in numerous instances. There are often instances. the authorities realize, where autoists are anxious that identification of license numbers be prevented. This the authdrities intend to check.

New State Law Provides Fine of $1O
 for Violation of Highway Law
 Other New Judiciary Enactments.
 A law just enacted by the legisla- tCre which is of interest in New Brit ain, as it is everywhere else through out the state. is the one which pro- vides a penalty of $1O fine for driv. ing any vehicle on the road at night without light. Two years ago bill passed the legislature forbidding the driving of vehicles on the roads at night without lights. This law. proved to, be joke as 1t did not provide any penalty for violations. Hence it was impossible to enforce it.
 The law as. 1t now stands makes 1t an offense. punishable by a fine of $1O, to drive anything but load of hay on the highways at night without light. The benefit of this law is recognized by everybody.
 Still another law of importance just passed is the one which places an automobile thief on a par with a horse thief. Hereafter the stealing of an automobile will be far more serious offense than it has been in the past and will be punishable by state prison sentence.
 The judiciary committee has also drafted law which provides aostrict penalty for any misuse or indignity to the Ameritan flag Hereafter If individuals do not have respect for the flag and show 1t openly they will have 't6 answer in criminal court.

BERVS7ORff DENIES
 GERMAN INTRIGUE
Berlin Never Plotted in Central
 America, He Says

A0ndon, March 1.-The Hamburg CT Fremdenblatt. according to Reu- ter's Amsterdam Correspondent prints ar interview its representative had at i Copenhagen in which Count Won Bernstorff, former German ambassa- dor to the United States. expressed proud joy at the way the German people were bearing, with their heads held high. the results of the breach ir relations with America, which he (Bernstorf) 50 long prevented.
 Count Won Bernstorn is quoted as saying that he was keenly affected by the news which he received for the first time at Christiania, that instruc- tions which had passed through his hands to the German minister in Mexico had come to the knowledge of the American government.
 It was natural that its publication caused great sensation in Ameri- ca, Count Won Bernstorff said, de- claring i've always strictly declined to mix ourselves in the politics of the American continent"
 ':All American assertions about sEch intrigues in Haiti, Cuba and Colombia are fairy tales." Count Won Bernatorm is quoted as saying.
 The diplomat added that positively SD long as he was ambassador at Washington he was never aware of the slightest indication that the Ger man government tried to influence the policy in Central and South Amer jean states in any sense hostile to the United States.
 I've even sometimes subordinated great economic Interests, which we have i'm all of those countries, to spare the sensitiveness of the United States'' he stated. :.
 The interview concludes with the declaration by Count Won Bernstorn that from instructions to the German minister to Mexico 1t was clear that the Mexican government, if the United States did not. declare war on Germany, would never have heard of Germany's intentions from a German mouth. .
 II believe 1t is hardly possible to have acted more correctly he said.
 An Exchange Telegraph dispatch says that in an interview granted to tho Copenhagen correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt Count Won Bern storff, interrogated as to whether he thought there would be war between Germany and the United States, re- piled:
 '.That depends upon our U-boat warfare. If we sink an American ship, we shall get war. If not, sup pose we can avoid it. -
 '.And if" asked the correspondent. Germany sinks British ships. with American citizens abzoard?''
 To this Count Von Bernstorf re. piled, ''That is not the. same"
 A contributor to the Politiken had an interview with Prince Hatxfeldt Zu Trachenberg. who was counselor to tho Washington embassy, aboard the. Frederik viii. The prince re- fused to talk about politics. but about the party's visit to Halifax, he said:
 II don't exaggerate when+ say that the twelve days at Halifax were tho most disaxreeable I ever spent. we were treated politely. we yet felt as if we were considered criminals. Thef exau1ina- ton \of persons and baggage was, dare say, very. very, careful and

Although not strictly a local issue. a delegation of white ribboners visited the capital to appear in favor of the prohibition constitutional amendment. The other items were all before the railroad committee.
 One was in reference to the pro- posed Stanley Quarter trolley line. The petitioners desire a charter to construct a trolley line from the end of the North End line at Francis street to the terminal of the Elmwood trolley line. The other railroad mat ters were the petitions of the Connec- ticut company for the extension of the East Main street line from it's present terminus to the New Haven road tracks, and for the extension of the Pleasant street line through F'airview and Kelsey streets to Rocky Hill avenue.
