Brookline, Mass, Jan. 5.-James J.. Riley of Somerville. and Miss Mill dred Melzian, a stenographer, were shot and dangerously wounded last night while riding In taxicab to her home here. The driver of the cab told the police that he had over heard a conversation In which the man appeared to be urging the young woman to marry him, and that a few minutes after shots were fired.
 Miss Melzian Is a daughter of 8 former member of the Boston Sym phony orchestra and Is 19 years of age. Riley is 34 and employed as a railroad claim agent. According to the police the only statement they could obtain from Riley was:
 ~"I did it because l wanted to die"
 Both the man and woman were un- conscious at the. hospital at a late hour. She was found to have bull lets in her right side and wrist. while Riley was shot three times-in the Forehead, abdomen and thigh.
 The chauffeur said that the man engaged him at his stand in front of R Back Bay hotel to take them to Brpokline. When nearing University road where the girl lived, the chauf- sfeur heard shots, and imm mediately aft erward the girl opened the door of the car and ran up the street a few hundred yards to her home Riley remained in his seat, wounded, and the chauffeur drove him to police

FIRE THREATENS
 NEW HAVEN HOTEL
Guests Forced to Flee from Early
 Morning Flames ..

New Haven, Jan. Sire starting in room 54 on the fifth floor of the New Crown hotel in Crown street shortly before o'clock this morning threatened to destroy the entire struc- ture for a short time and placed in peril the lives of about 100 persons who were guests in the hotel which was so completely filled that 0 sign had been placed in tho office, Full house. No more rooms.' The fire started in a front bedroom occupied by two men who were part of a band of about 150 men who came to this city last night for service in case of strike troubles which are feared in Ansonia, and before an alarm of fire could be sent in the room was in a blaze and the flames were leaping half way across Grown street in a way to indicate that the entire structure was probably doomed.
 The fire was discovered by man named Spearman who was a guest in room 55 adjacent to 54 in which the fire started. According to employees of the hotel Spearman claimed he saw a man earlier in tho night in the room where the fire started smoking a cigarette and had warned him to stop and the man put the cigarette out. Spearman smelled the smoke of the fire and dashed right down to the office where he gave the alarm while some one else tried to put the fire out with an extinguisher. It is thought possible the fire may have been caused by fire from the cigarette smouldering in bed clothes.

headquarters. where his condition was seen to be SO serious that he was re- moved at once to the hospital while officers went to the home of Miss Mel zian.
 Riley, the police learned. had been paying attention to Miss Melzian for several months, although the affair was not looked upon as serious by her family. Since the death of her fa- ther last summer, Mildred, the youngest of family of six children, had been employed in Boston.
New Britain herald., 1917-01-05

All the guests in the hotel were asleep when the cry of fire was given and it was a tired, scantily clad throng of men which trooped down the front stairs of the five story hotel structure, or rushed down the rear fire escapes or dropped off the roof of the hotel and from the fifth story windows on to the roof of the Wash ington building which adjoins it on the west. There were many narrow escapes but no trace of any one being missing could be found after the fire and the men who occupied the room in which the fire started were ac- counted for shortly after the alarm was given, with their clothes mostly in their hands on the sidewalk safe and sound but with much of their belong ings missing.

DAILY FASHION HINTS
.LADYS BLOUSE.
BY Anabel Worthington.

The present vogue Of The blouse that is
worn over the skirt would make it seem
that the garment is here to stay, It Is cut
straight from the shoulder and on the
loose lines of the chemise frock that is so
exceedingly popular. In q few instances
It has proven its secret worth in hiding the
partly worn or sCiled portion Of skirt.
One win look longingly ct the blouse in
the illustration, net alone because of the
collar Of great renown, which is laced a
bit up the front, but as well because Of the
treatment at the waistline TO gain the
panel effect. The ribbon sash, inserted
through slashes at the sides, draws the
fulness to the back and holds It there by
tying loosely.
The blouse il made to ship on over the
head and may be developed in silk, wool,
poplin, satin, serge or velvet. The cuffs,
on sleeves that are easily full, are Of self
material, but the collar will be attractive

submarines around the British Isles
and keep a chain of these or other
vessels along the entire extent of the
proclaimed zone from the waters OF
Britain to the waters of Greece. 1t
could not, under international law,
assert that it was maintaining an eff
fective blockade.
An occasional sinking, or sporadic
activity exhibited at different points
within the paper zone without the &C
tual keeping of an adequate force on
guard, would not constitute such a
blockade. The blockading force must
be strong enough, Woolsey says, to
involve a vessel attempting to pass
the line of blackade in considerable
danger of being taken"
Even If Germany could keep such a
force on guard as would render the
proclaimed blockade an effective one,
the fact that the zone proclaimed in
cludes, not the domestic waters of the
enemy countries, but the high seas,
would make it Of no validity. The
places that may be blockaded are sea-
ports, roadsteads, portions of coast
and mouths of rivers. That the high
sea, the freedom of which to all ma
lions may not be denied, should be
interdicted to neutral vessels in order
that a belligerent may find 1t easier
to strike it's enemy is a doctrine no
sovereign nation can accept and retain
its sovereignty.

i've, and its intention therefore
amounts to nothing more than a pro-
GAINED or paper blockade, which has
no validity.
On that point Woolsey says: "* :"
paper or cabinet blockades, whether
declarations of an intention to block
ade a place without sending an ade-
quate force thither, or the mere for
nality Of pronouncing a tract of coast
under blockade, are an undue stretch
of belligerent right. and of no validity
whatever"
This rule is so well established that
agreements as to what should consti-
tute an effective blockading force have
beOn included in numerous treaties,
the number of vessels being specified
and the distance they should cruise
from the place blockaded in order to
make the passing in or out of a vessel
an enterprise OF actual danger. These
rules have been found necessary in
international law because it is recog-
nized that no blockade can be abso-
lutte. The oceans are too large and
fogs and storms afford too many OPP
portunities for successful evasion. I'M
less Germany could put Gordon of
