The anthracite situation has improy-
ed. Police Superintendent John II.
Redgate this morning stated to a. rep-
raesentative of The Times that he ia
about to confer with the fuel board
and will follow the example of the
New York authorities to get coal for
needy families.
The police will make house-to-
house canvass Of homes on their pa
trolls and will ask each fs1nily@if sslys
have enough fuel supply to admit of
their selling a small quantity to those
without coal. The information will
Immediately be reported to the fuel
board which in turn will inform appli-
cants. The prospective purchaser
can then arrange to procure the coal
from the family willing to sen.
The fuel board received a telegram
this morning stating that the SO car
loads of soft coal would arrive In
Bridgeport tonight, having left the
Harlem river yards early this morn
ing, The fuel committee today start
ed drive for more soft coal with re-
newed vigor.
Relief for the domestic shortage
is coming in from all sides. Untold
sufferings were revealed today as
more than 1000 persons besieged the
fuel committees office in the STRAIT
field building. Because of the dis
order Of the last few days, a squad of
police in charge of Captain John Re
gan and Sergt. James Burns, were
deailed to the Office.
During the crewding and rushing
four women became hysteriea1 and
were treated at the Manufacturers
Liability hospital, opposite the com
n7ittee office. The line started to
form at o'clock this morning when
kwe women appeared and c1ung close
tc the office door. They started
coming in groups up to O'clock
when, Captain Regan estimates, there
were 600 persons in the halls.
A barge of anthracite coal was com
mandeered by the committee in the
harbor yesterday and towed to the
docks of the Wheeler & Howes Co.
for distribution under the commit
tees supervision. The American
Brass Co. offered the committee to-
DAY two carloads of nut coal in ex-
change for the same amount of egg
coal. Other shipments, by barge and
rail, are headed for the city, but are
delayed by railroad difficulties and
the condition of Sound navigation.
The Manufacturers association in
aiding the committee is working to
delivery facilities which at
present greatly handicap the retail
dealers. Clarence e. Biften, presi-
dent of the Billion Machine Tool Co.,
also head of the Manufacturers asse-
citation, offers the use of tive aateHao-
bile trucks and hopes others will fol

HOLD MAN FOUND
WITH MAPS UPON
HIM, AS SUSPECT

New Britain, Jan. 5-Detectiyes to-
day said that David Anderson, aged
23, arrested here late yesterday, had
in his possession maps of New Britain
and New York and blBep riRts of ma
chinery in the factories of the Colt
Patent Firearms Co. of Hartford and
the New Britain Machine Co. Ander-
son is a native of Sweden and has
been in this couRtry since January,
1917. The police say he told them
he had been sent to America to OBJ
tain trade secrets and that mis- ability
/as draughtsmen facilitated his er-
rand.
AndeFseR's explanation is not salts
factory to the authorities and he has
been given into custody of federal of
ficers, who have taken MIN to Hart
ford on the ground that he might
be German spy. He received $500
from Sweden short time ago but
insists that it was sent by the per-
son who employed him to come to
this country in quest of American
manufacturing methods.

pute Adopts Stand
Taken by President.

London, Jan. 5-Premier
Lloyd-George, addressing the
trade unions today on the sub
ject of war aims, said that only
the clearest, greatest and most
just of causes could justify the
continuance, even for a day, of
this unspeakable agony of ma
tons"
I'VE ought to be able to state
clearly and definitely not only
the principles for which we
are fighting but their definite,
concrete application to the war
map Of the world.
I'VE have arrived at the most crit
ical hour Of this terrible conflict, and
before any government takes the fate
full decision as to the conditions under
which it ought to either terminate or
continue the gttruaels it should be
Es ttst1ed that the conscience of the ma
ton is behind these conditions"
Iioyd-Georse said that during the
last few DAVIS he had rnrpen special
pains to ascertain the views and the
attitude of representative men of all
sections Of thought in the country.
He had read the statement Of labor's
war aims. he continued. and had dis
cussed the subject Of war aims with
former Premier Asquith and with
Viseount Grey. Had the Nationalist
in Ireland not been engaged
with the tangled probleEn OF Irish
happy to exchange views with them.
He also had consulted representatives
of Great Britain's overseas domin-
ions.
As a result Of these discussions,
said Mr.. Aoyd-Gearge, although the
government alone was responsible for
the language he proposed using, there
was a national agreement as to the
character and Durpose Of the nations
war aims and peace conditions. He
was speaking therefore not merely the
mind of the government. but the mind
of the nation and the empire.
Eve are not fighting a war of ag-
gFessien AGAINST the German people,"
declared the BFemieF, 1.-The destruc-
ton OF disruBtien Of Germany or the
German people has never been a war
aim with us since the first day of the
war to now. The British people never
aimed at breaking up the German
people or the disintegration of their
state. Our wish is not to destroy
Germany's great position IN the world,
but to turn her aside from schemes of
military domination to devote her
strength to beaiffeeTt tasks"

TELLS POLICE
CHRIST TRIED
TO SHOOT HIM

If a bomb shell had exploded in
their midst, members of the detective
bureau could have been no more as
founded than when a man describing
himself as John Carayinis, of 1913
Railroad avenue, walked into Cap
tain Cronan's office, this morning,
and announced that Christ had tried
to shoot him.
For a while it was thought that the
man was insane, and might become
violent, and Captain Cronan was
about to send for a straight-jacket
when the visitor explained that the
attempt uDon his life had been made
by a man named Christ, who lives in
a house at Prooeet and Broad
streets.
Carayinis said that he was standing
with Christ at Broad street and South
avenue when the latter drew his re-
volver and tried to shoot. The in
tended victim snatehed the gun away,
and it was in turn taken from him
by a third person. Christ then turn
ed upon the third man, and .seizing
the gun, ran away.
Police officers later searched for
him, but without success, and de-
teetives are now investigating.

NURSERY BABES
REMOVED; WATER
FLOODS ROOMS

Serious consequences from exposure
to cold threatened nineteen children,
inmates of the City Nursery, in Fair
field, when the inadequate heating
system with which the institution is
equipped failed to radiate sufficient
warmth, yesterday afternoon, and
permitted a steam boiler to freeze to
bursting point.
Not only the boiler, but water pipes
and pipes connected with the steam
plant, were frozen, and the water
escaping from the boiler partly flooded
one of the rooms before it was turned
off. This water also froze.
The children were hastily trans
ferred from the Nursery to Hillside
Home, where a vacant dormitory was
prepared for their accommodation,
and they suffered no iH-effeets from
their experience. Had not the space
at Hillside been available, however,
the children might have been in con-
siderable danger.

WON'T CONSIDER
SEPARATE PEACE

Mexico City, Jan. 5-If the enemy
proposes a separate peace, no matter
how advantageous, Japan will reject
it, Baron Fugitaro Otori, the new Jap
anese minister to Mexico, declared
yesterday in a statement concerning
the attitude of his country. Japan,
he said, would remain on the side of
the Allies and was cooperating in the
war to her full extent. Being one of
the signatories of the treaty of Lon
don, Japan, the minister added,
would not look on that treaty as a
scrap Of paper.

3 MORE DYING
FROM EFFECTS
OF Gas FUMES

Three more names were added to
the list of gas-poisoning victims in To-
cal hospitals, today, when Myer and
William Abramovitch. of 62s Colorado
avenue, and Frank Aiello, a 14-year-
old schoclboy, Of 81 Booth street, were
asphyxiated by the deadly fumes.
The Abramovitch brothers are in ST.
Vincent's, while the Aiello boy is in
Bridgeport hospital, and all three are
in a dangerous condition. with little
hope held out for their recovery.
Failure of an automatic electric gas
lighter to work properly was respon-
sible for the predicament in which the
Abramovitches were found, at 9:45
o'clock this morning. The men are
plumbers, and working in a house at
2S0S Fairfield avenue, yesterday, were
busy until SO late an hour that the

They were assigned to large front

once.
During the night the gas escaped
slowly from the jet, which they had
failed to close, and filled the room,
suffocating them. They were uncen-
scious when found this morning, but
were restored to consciousness upon
being removed to the hospital. Their
condition, however, is serious
