Hartford, Dec. 22-Thomas w. Runsell, federal fuel administrator for Connecticut and chairman of the coal committee of the Connecticut state council of defense, win be in Wash tngton again tomorrow for the sec ond time this week, for conference which, 1t is hoped, will result in an ,1ncreased supply of bftuminous coal 1 which the factories of Connecticut 60 sorely need.
 Mir. Russell was in Washington on Monday and Tuesday for series of NconEerenceS of the fuel administra- tors of New England states with Dr. IT. 4. Garfield, federal fuel admins trator. and members of the railroad war board in an endeavor to secure an order from the federal fuel ad- ministrator on the miHes of Pennsyl- vania to shfp more coal into Connecti- cut. He had hardly returned to Con- necticut when he received a tele- phone message calling him back to tl1e national capital, and will leave to- day for 0 conference tomorrow moPn- ing with the railroad war board, with which. according to MT. Russell, it ifs hoped that definite plan may be made for an increased movement of bituminous coal to Connecticut for the rest of the winter.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY

Stephen Daye, the first printer in the English-American colonies, died at Cambridge, Mass, 249 years ago today. Daye was born in London in 1911, and came to Massachusetts in 1888. He was employed to manage the printing-p press sent out by Rev. MT. Glover. This crude little hand press was set up in Cambridge, under the direction of the magistrates and elders, and Daye performed all the work on connection with the opera ton of the plant. He began his ac- tivities in March, 1899, and the first thing printed was the "Freeman's s Oath" After completing that job he undertook the printing of an almanac compiled by William Pierce, 8 marin CT. In 1640 he printed the Psalms newly turned into metre" He also printed a. catechism, a Body of Lib erties," comprising 100 laws, and a second edition of the Psalms. Daye was not a very skillfu1 printer, and his work seems more like that of blacksmith than a printer. Twenty years before his death he was de- prived of the management of the printing plant, which was turned over to Samuel Green.

TAKING ALIEN
 CLAIMS NAILED
 BY DRAFT RULE.

Hartford, Dec 22-Major John Buckley, sent out today 80 telegrams to local exemption boards and to the substance of an important dis patch that he received earlier in the day from Provost Marshal General Crowder, giving instructions in regard to series of the questionnaire, which relates to alien registrants.
 Under the previous instructions it was possible for registrant to pre- tend that he was an alien and obtain exemption on that ground. The amended instructions will make it nearly impossible for an alien to es- cape the draft.
 Under the old instructions when a person said he was an alien and when he claimed exemption on that account he was not required to answer the other questions and his statement as to his alienage or alleged alienage was accepted as final, the board being forbidden to ask him further ques- tions. This limitation made it possl- ble for fake aliens to get away with their deception.
 The questions now requiring answers relate to the place of birth Of the alien, his age, when he came to this country and from what country he came; the name of the vessel on which he arrived, the place where he landed, whether his father was a, nat uralized citizen and other questions, all of which will have the effect of testing his credibility. The matter was brought to the attention of Gen. Crowder by Major Buckley and it was on the majors representation that decision wNs reached in Wash ington which will be helpful to local boards in defeating the purpose of an alien who is untruthfu1 in his repre- sentatiOnS.

LUxBERG'S SPY VERY POPULAR
 IN ARGENTINA

Buenos Aires, Dec. 22.-Few wo- men have ever been so popular and so beloved by the Argentine repub- lie as Elena Theodorini, an opera singer famous in this country, who was arrested by officers of a French cruiser on a charge that she was a spy in the employ of Count Luxburg, the former German minister here. Count LuXburg received his passports from the Argentine government for sending to Germany suggestion that Argentine ships be sunk without trace.
 La Theodorini, as she has always been called in Argentina, took pas sage on board a steamer for Eur ope in company with a group of thea trical persons who were known to be friends of Count Luxburg. The steamer was halted off Montevidee by British cruisers and some of the others of the theatrical group were placed under arrest, but Theodorini was not molested until the steamer was over-hauled by French cruiser off the Spanish coast.
 News that the cruiser had taken her from the passenger steamer or charges of espionage came as sur prise to Theodorini's admirers in this city for the general public did no' know, as did diplomatic circles that she had been in recent years grea1 friend of Count Luxburg and a mem Der of a circle of theatrical womer who were dined and wined at the residence of the German diplomat.
 La Theodorini came to Buenos Aires in 1884. Singing leading parts in well known operas she soon achiev ed a wide reputation and afterwarc became so attached to Argentine au' diences that she made her home il this city. Since then she has figur- ed in the musical and theatrical life of Argentina, although she had retir' ed from the operatic stage.
 One of her acts which endearee her to the Argentine public was heA application for naturalization inas much as she was the first woman o1 a foreign country to take such step Last year she paid visit to New York. where a festival was given 1T her honor by the Metropolitan Opera stars. She returned to Buenos Aire: in February last.

CHINA HAS NEW
 CONSTITUTION

Peking, Nov. -(Correspondence of the Associated PresseThe Chinese republic must have new constitu- ton. a new election law and parlia- ment must be reorgan1zed, in the opinion of President Feng Kwo-chang and Premier Yuan Chi-jui.
 An effort to achieve these objects ts in the progress in the sessions of the new National Council, called by the president and the premier for that purpose.
 Most of China's governmental diffi- culties during the last six years were attributed by Premier Yuan in an ad- dress to the National Council to inn perfections in the constitution. It is the desire of the President and the premier that a. new coordination of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government Both officials pointed out in addresses to the Council that it was the absence of such provisions in the present con- stitution that led to the outbreak of numerous disorders and revolts which have transpired in this country since the beginning of the attempt to or ganize a republic form of government.
 The president and the premier ap- parently have divergent views as to whether the new constitution should be promulgated by the National Coun- cil or by new parliament to be sum- moned after the work of the Council is fnished. President Feng told the Council that he sincerely hoped that after it had revised the Chinese cleo tion laws, parliament would be called to draft and promulgate the constitu- tion: but Premier Yuan urged the Council itself to amend the funda- mental law of the Chinese state. Unless we have a strong and sound government. we never will be able to survive the struggle of the na- tions,' declared the President. '"To form a nation and to establish it on a firm basis is a colossal task. Six years is too short a time to prove whether government by the people ia suitable for China. Therefore, I enter. tain great expectations for the suc- cess of your task
