carries the former German ambassa-

By stopping for examination in Hal
flax, vessels bound for Holland and
the Scandinavian countries will be
able to skirt the northern boundary Of
the blockade waters announced in the
German proclamation. While ships Of
American registry have the same
privilege, there was no indication to-
day that their owners would follow
the example of the Dutch and Scan
dinavian lines and send their vessels
to sea. The stagnation of American
shipping, however, is complete only SO
as the big passenger liners are con-
cerned. Several freighters that fly the
Stars and Stripes are making prep
arations to follow the few American
cargo boats that already have braved
the submarine danger.

URGE REPEAL OF
''THREE-DECKER"
CITY ORDINANCE
Property Owners Ask Coun-
Gil to Allow Construction
Of Barred Type.

About a score of the citizens OF
Bridgeport appeared before the ordi-
nance committee Of the common coun-
Gil last night to favor the repeal to
the building code, permitting the erec-
ton of three-decker houses. Only one
man appeared in opposition. After a
long caucus preceding the meeting the
ordinance committee decided to put
the amendment fin this form:
THAT the building code as applied
to the three-family houses be so
amended as to admit of the building
Of three family houses Of frame con-
struction of the four-gab1e type or
the French roof design that has the
appearance Of the two-family house,
using the top floor or attic, so-called,
to house the third family, without re-
pealing the law as. applied TO three
deckers Of the shed-roof or fat roof
design s
Attorney David s. Day appeared for
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Bridgeport Housing association He
said he was interested in correct
housing and sustaining the building
code provision !, against three decker
houses Of frame construction, He said
the capreciation in tho value Of houses
of wooden construction more than off
set the original cost Of building. He
contended that the permission to build
wooden three-decker houses increased
insurance rates.
The matter was brought to the
common council on petition present
ed by Alderman Thomas J Tierney
and others. Attorney Hugh J. La
very appeared before the committee
on behalf Of a number Of builders.
Others who spoke in favor Of the
| amendment were GEE Vecsey, Thomas
O'Brien and Thomas McCool. They
denied that insurance rates were In
creased by the three family wooden
houses and said that these houses
furnished comfortable and convenient
rents for working people at rental
which was within their means. The
laws of New Haven and Hartford
were quoted in favor of modifying the
code. It was the opinion of many
last night that the ordinance COM
mittee will. recommend modifica-
| ton in the code in regard to the wood
en- three family houses.

CARRYING
CITIZENS OF U. s.
STARTS FOR NY.

Liverpool. Feb. 15-The PhiIadel-
phia, the first American liner to leave
Europe since Germany's declaration
OF unrestricted submarine warfare,
spilled from here late Wednesday af-
ternoon. She carried 95 passengers
OF ali classes, Of whom 38 were
Americans. Among the few canceHa-
tions were those of Frank Simonds
and Winfield r. Sheehan. who had
planned to sail but were prevented
at the last moment by business rea-
sons. DR.. Henry Van Dyke, formerly
United States minister to Holland.
originally had intended to sail on the
Philadelphia but decided earlier in
the week to postpone his departure
until Saturday.
The Philadelphia was unarmed.
carrying neither a mounted nor an
unmounted gun. In addition to her
passengers she carried general
cargo of what is known as express
freight, and two tons Of dispatches
from the American embassy in Lon
don for the state department in
Washington. The dispatch bags con-
tanned important documents forward
ed from American embassies and con-
sulates in nearly all the countries of
Europe, including a large quantity
from Germany which was dispatched
before the brdak in diplomatic rela-
tons.
Although none but passengers who
passed the examination of the mill
tary and custom authorities were per-
mitted on the landing stage, numbers
Of Liverpool residents crowded the
streets in the neighborhood to watch
the first American passenger ship sail
from English shores since the Ger
man blockade order became operative.
There were comparatively few Brit
ish passengers and this was explained
by the fact that the authorities refus-
ed passports except in few in
stances.
Even the London daily newspapers
tried in vain to procure permission
for staff men to make the voyage. The
editors OF these papers had to content
themselves with engaging the few
American newspaper men on board
to send them stories in the event Of
disaster Detailing the ship. Some
even arranged to have accounts of the
trip dhbled after the liner reached
America.
Among the Americans who sailed
on the Philadelphia were:
First class-William Armour, Prince
ton, N. j.; Frederick s. Bowen, Bos-
ton; Robert Bowman, Lake Forest

PLAN TO CLEAR
UP CONGESTION

New York. Feb 1e.-The British ad-

vessels sailing from American ports
for Europe to undergo examination In
Halifax instead Of Kirkwall or Fail
mouth brought immediate relief today
to the congested cargo situation In
New York. Steamships of the Dutch
and Scandinavian lines which have
been held in this port on account of
the submarine blockade made prep
arations to sail by the new route and
it is expected that several will get
away before the end of the week.
The Ryndam Of the Holland-Ameri-
can line, which returned here on We'd

Of the submarine zone, probably will

announcement has been made as to
whether westbound ships also may call
at the port for inspection.
Agents Of the big British steamship
lines declared today that there was no
need Of any congestion Of ocean car

pointed out that Great Britain has
about 40 steamers now in New York
ready to leave when loaded, and rep

tons. The same authority asserted
that there were in port here today
about 26O steamers of British, French,
