POLICY OF MURDER.
 SAYS ROOSEVELT
Compares Germany to Burglar
 Escaping With the Silver K

New York, Feb. 1.-Col. Theodore ment on the German note at the Hotel Langdon last night:
 ''1f tne president has a proper sense of the respect due to this nation he will pay no more attention to this note than , householder would to the warning of a burglar against inter- ference when the burglar was about to make off with the silver. We have in this note the explanation of the pres. ident's peace moves for the last six weeks.
 "The German note makes the policy of murder of non-combat tants inc1ud- ing women and children, the national policy Of Germany on the high seas. If President Wilson means what he has said about the freedom of the seas he will protect non-combatants from murder as the first requisite and will act instantly against Germany.
 "If he had acted as he should have acted :l- the time I asked him to act at the time of the Lusitania affair Germany would now have something besides notes to fear.
 "On the first occasion when the threats of the German note are car ried into effect, as regards American citizens or ships every German ln- termed vessel should be seized by our government and trade with Germany interd;Ctcd.
 "I would like to call attention to the fact that the nervous effort of Meroz to preserve neutrality by pandering to Deborah did not permanently avail to keep it out of trouble.'

considered now. Some people mistook the purpose of the petition. and . ru- nor states that some of the stgners from the Thread company signed the paper under the understanding that 1t was a petition for more wages and some thinking that it was petition about the baseball league. Practically any of these reasons will make the petition illegal MT. Kelley proved that several of the names were at variapce by hav- ing the town clerk read from the vot- ing list and he read from the petition.
 Counsei for Petitioners.
 Curtis Dean. counsel for the no-Ii- cense people. said that he did not have any evidence as he was not no tified before this morning that he was to be the attorney. He said that ne did not care much for a man who ing what he was signing for and if a man gave such a reason to have his name withdrawn from the petition, it was a rather weak excuse.
 Mir. Kelley said that man should know what he is signing or a court would not give him much considera- tion. It is a well known fact that many people do not read petition before signing it. as people are care .>k Although the people may have meant to petition for a vote, we're going by law, not sentiment. here, he said
 Town Counsel King tried to have the attorneys agree on some of the points and they agreed that fifteen names which were on the petition, wVfe not on the last voting list. They also agreed that four did l.ot have any address given, 1esv:r.s- tf1n exact num-
 r required. Both were in favor of letting the seIectn,en examine the pe- tition to either prove or disprove MT. Kelley's assertions.
 Who Did the Fasting.
 Rev Mir. Cooke then told of how the petition was circulated. Several copies of the official paper received from Hartford were made, with Wind ham inserted at the top in the text. The tops of these individual petitions were cut off when the petitions were pasted togethe. to form one petition. Advocated Waiting Norwich Decision.
 Counsel William A. King was in fa- vor of abiding by the decision of the Norwich superior court which will give a decision in a similar case Wednes- day evening. Several parties present were against such action: so the se- lectmen went into a room and dis cussed the matter. They came to an agreement about 3.45 and voted not to accept the petition.
