WITNESSES UNRELIABLE
 SAYS JUDD'S ATTORNEY

Arguments were made in. the fed eral court at New Haven today in the case of Nelson Judd, otherwise known as "Georgie'' Watson, charged with trafficking in narcotic drugs. MT, Hoyt, for the defendant, set up the contentious that the witnesses for the government, mostly were habitual us- CTS of drugs and therefore their tes- tfmony was open to question, and that the government had not definitely proved that any substances said to have been disposed of were in fact the drugs or derivatives of drugs in- terdicted by federal law He also pointed out that several of the wit nesses had themselves been convicted in local courts for misdemeanors and their evidence had to be viewed in light of their own experience and mental reliability.
 District Attorney Spellacy asked for Watson's conviction, saying in reply to MT. Hoyt's contention that a gov ernment expert analysed the contents of a bottle and found it to be a drug: that the persons who bought drugs from Watson were not fooled by ie- ceiving something else; and that the witnesses were competent to say whether they had dealings with the defendant as alleged.

EXTRA SESSION IS LOOKED FOR
 BEFORE JUNE 1
Appropriation Bills AnC Other Necessary Laws
 Must Be Passed.

Washington, March 7-Members of congress today look for an extra ses- sion to be called to meet not later than June as a result of hints said to have been thrown out by officials close to President Wilson
 Aside from any action on the arm ed ship bill. the need of an extra ses- sion to pass the big supply measures which failed at. the last session is re- garded by officials as imperative.
 Nearly all of the executive depart ments of the government will suffer, particularly the arny's defense plans, unless congress supplies the necessary funds.
 I In addition, there are other meas ures that the administration regarded as almost imperative which failed tc pass. They included amendments to the shipping and federal reserve laws, legislation to strengthen the Adamson law, conservation, foreign selling combinations and enlargement of the interstate commerce commission.
 The president himself has not de- finitely indicated whether he has de- fnitely given up hope that, an extra session may be avoided, but many members of congress think he will call congress together soon should he decide that he lacks authority to arm merchant ships.

BAR ASSOCIATION
 INVITED TO ATTEND
 RECEPTION TO JUDGE

Justice George w. Wheeler has is- sued invitations to the Bar of Fair field county for a reception at his home, 115 Park avenue, on the even. ing of March 16, in honor of Justice Milton A. Shumway of the supreme court, and Judge Donald T. Warner and Judge John P. Kellogg of the su- perior court. These judges take of- flee this time under the recent ap- pointment of the governor. The other appointees of the governor for these courts take office about year and a half later, and quite likely Justice Wheeler is anticipating a reception in their special honor at that time.
 Governor Holcomb will also be pres ent to join in honoring these dis tingruished guests. These receptions have become an institution of the Fairfield County bar and are very largely attended by the bar of the county. Lawyers enjoy meeting each other.

5000 ENLISTED MEN TO BE MADE U. s. A. OFFICERS Sixty Men From Each Regi- ment To Be Designated
 for Promotions. NATIONAL GUARD
 MAY BE INCLUDED Higher Offices Will Be Civ en For Military Apti-
 tude Shown.

Washington, March 1.-The war de- pertinent has directed that between 5000 and 5000 enlisted men of the army be designated by regimental commanders for commission as com pany officers. Orders have been sent to each regiment to select 60 men who wil be eligible for commissions up to and including captains.
 The designation of the men will be on their military aptitude not by ex- animation. The department, as a pre- cautionary step, it was explained, de- sired to establish this list of men deemed fit for commissions by officers under whom they have served. Pre- sumably the noncom1nissioned per sonnel will supply the largest number.
 It is possible that a similar list will tbe compiled among national guard regiments. If a volunteer army ot any size were summoned to the colors these men would be drafted for train ing duty as officers of the volunteers The officers reserve corps will furnish additional officers, some of the rank of major, but as less than 1000 men are now enrolled in the corps it could not supply sufficient officers for the volun- teers.
 u0 u0pcdTCIl6H IS d VPS orous campaign to increase the officer reserve corps. Efforts are being made to enroll 50 men in each congressional district
 The regular army may suffer in eff ficiency if it's best enlisted men are withdrawn for duty with volunteers but there is no other way, officers say to provide an adequate training force even for volunteer army of 800, 0oC men. If 100000 or more were to be trained, officers for the force would have to be selected from the first 500,000 organized, the regular estarb- lishment at present not being capable of supplying more than enough fully trained officers for high commands and special details requiring technical skill. In effect the regulars will have to train first the force that is to train the volunteers if a big force is to be raised.
 To encourage small towns and Yil- lages to maintain n3fonal guard units the war department, in a circuler is- sued today, has authorized the estaib- Hshment of detached platoons. Two or more of these p1atoons, coming from nearby towns or settlements would form a company in "a regiment organized in that part of the state The minimum strength fixed for de- tached platoons is fixed at 35 men.

Six Months for Man
 Who Stole Car Owned
 By Probate Judge Here

In the municipal court at Boston, yesterday, Daniel J. Doyle of that city was sentenced to six months in the House of Correction for the theft of a touring car owned by Judge Paul l.. Miller of the Bridgeport probate court Judge Millers car was stolen from Court street here Jan. 20. The thief evidently drove it all the way to Boston. In the conviction of Doyle, the Boston police believe they have uncovered the fence" who has been handling stolen automobiles for a gang operating throughout New England and especially in and around Boston.
 A car a day is the record for au- tomobile thefts in the Bean City and Gov. Mccall recently notified the Boston police that these thefts must cease or he would cause a state tn- vestigation of the police department and the department of justice there. Uudge Miller and A. l.. Clark of this city were witnesses against Doyle in court yesterday. Doyle was defended by former Assistant District Attor- ney Thomas E. Levelle, said to be one of the shrewdest criminal lawyers in Boston. Doyle's defense was that he had bought the car from another man.
 Doyle was arrested after he had tried to sell the car to another deal. CT. The original tires had been re. moved and also the manufacturers number. The fact that the number was missing excited the suspicion oi the dealer and he notified the police Doyle appealed his sentence unde, $2,000 bond,
 Doyle strenuousfy denied that he had any association with men who are making a business of stealing au- tornobiles. He was sentenced under a Massachusetts law which permits a theft charge against a man having stolen goods in his possession.

Washington, March 7.-The definite impression that American merchant men would be armed in the near fu- ture gained ground today following conferences between President Wilson and administration officials and Dem- ocratic senators.
 Administration officials today were urging on President Wilson their view that he may legally arm merchant ships now without awaiting express authority which congress might give if called into specal session. They argued that the old law passed in 1919 forbidding a merchantman from firing on "a. public armed vesse! of a nation

in aInity5 with the United States would not apply to the present situa- tion. The president indicated that he is seeking some legal means of acting promptly, but would prefer congress sional approval.
 It appeared probable today that the
 United States would not press the is- sue created by Austria's notification that she adheres to Germany's prinr ciple of submarine warfare, inasmuch as the communication has a concil- iatory tone and points out that since Austrian submarines operate only in the Adriatic and Mediterranean ocean the chances of their actually violating American rights are not very great.

Washington, March 7-Pres- ident Wilson had a conference today at the White House with Senators Owen, Reed, Walsh, Swanson, James and Hoke Smith, the committee named by the Senate Democratic cau- GUS, and discussed the pro- posed changes in the Senate's rules which would prevent un- limited debate and filibustering such as killed the armed neu- trality bill.
