THINK PRESIDENT HAS
POWER TO ACT NOW
Without Congress Consent;
Still Considering.

WASHINGTON. March 6. - There
was no final decision today on
whether President Wilson has the au-
thority to arm American merchant
men for defense against German sub
marines without action by congress.
Authoritative limitations were given
that the president was seeking "A way
to take the step on his own respon-
sibility, but would act only after most
mature deliberation.
Some administration officials after
careful study of the old law of 1919,
cited in the senate as preventing the
arming of merchantmen against sub
marines, were stronger than ever in
their belief that the act has no appli-
cation to the present situation. The
statute was passed specifically to al
low American merchantmen to fight
pirates and privateers and these Of
ficials contend that the exemption in
this connection Of a public armed
vessel of a nation in amity with the
United States does not prevent a
peaceful merchantmen from resisting
an attack in violation of international
law

CHARGES CRUEL TREATMENT
Woman Files Suit Against Local Hos
pital for 5000 Damages.

Charging that she had been cruelty
treated in the Sunnyalde hospital,
Mrs. Mary f. Dolan yesterday filed
suit against Misses Rose, Victoria
and Florence Roleau, proprietors Of
that institution, for $1,000 damages.
Mrs. Doan claims that while a pa
tient there last November the attend
ants struck her with razor straps and
also their fists.
The proprietors of the hospital
deny Mrs. Dolan's charge. They say
when she came to their institution
she was suffering from hysteria which
later developed into violent insanity.
They used no greater force than neces-
sary to control her, they say. ans
which was approved by the attend
ing physician. After repeated de-
mands upon the husband, they say,
Mrs. Dolan was finally removed
