FROM
 AREIY GLAD TO
 SURRENDER SELF

Declaring that every time he saw ! policeman's uniform he almost got heart failure and lived the life of a. hunted animal since he deserted from the United States army last October, John Ragalia, of 333 Spruce street, Bridgeport, gave himself up to the police and was today sent to Fort Jay, Governors Island, to stand trial on the charge of desertion before a court martial.
 RagaHa has been working as a trolley car conductor for the past seY- eral months, but he saw so many policemen both on the street and on his car that life was one continuous nervous spell for him. Every time policeman boarded his car he started with fear thinking that he was com ing to get him. He used to walk blocks out of his way to avoid the bIuecoats, and finally unable to stand thes train any longer he went to po- lice headquarters and surrendered.
 He was held for the federal au- thorities and as soon as his case was looked up the police were notified that provision had been made to send the man to Governors Island to stand trial before a military tribunal

Hartford, Jan. 22-Productton was shown this afternoon how best to CO., operate with the United States Food Administration in Connecticut. The President Wilson signed last August 10 are "encouraging athe production, conserving the supply and controlling the distribution" Conservation and distribution are already being effec- lively handled in Connecticut by the Food Administration and this after noon's important meeting at the Hotel Bond was to consider the question of production.
 Realizing the importance of getting production, working in harmony with the general program of the Food Ad- ministration in this state especially as the spring planting time approaches, Federal Food Administrator Robert ScovilIe, invited a number of repre- sentative farmers from all the eight counties of the state to lunch with him this noon and to hear what he had to say about the best methods of getting the greatest results during the coming year.
 The invitations were extended, four to a county, two being nominated by the auxiliary county committees of the Connecticut State Council of Defense and two by the presidents of the Vari- ous Farm Bureaus. Among those present today were: F. H. Beers, Brookfield; pr. Walter Wood, New Canaan; George Mckay, Danbury; J. Arthur Sherwood, Easton; Nicholas Glennon, New Milford.
 After the luncheon at the hotel. MT. ScoVille, who was assisted in welcom- ing the producing farmers by Mir. George M. Landers, chairman of the Connecticut Committee of Food Sup ply, State Council of Defense, explain ed how pleased he was to have the opportunity to discuss the work of the Food Administration with progressive farmers from all sections of Connec- ticut and to enlist the cordial support of the agricultural interests in his own plans of production, conservation and distribution.
 MT. Scoville told the farmers of the address which Secretary Houston of the Department of Agriculture made at the recent conference of the Fed eral Food Administrators, at Wash | ington, and in which the secretary urged the closest cooperation possible between all branches of the Depart ment of Agriculture and the Food Ad- ministration.
 i As an incentive for speeding up pro- duction during the coming year Sec Ietary Houston welcomed the Food ] Administrators as allies to assist the Department in subjects relating to production and conservation He stated it was impossible to 3isassociate the two agencies and cooperation
 was necessary. The department has

eral Department at the present time has a staff of 18,O0O and the Land Grant Colleges an equal staff
 The department is now trying to de- termine what to recommend for spring planting. Last fall the largest acreage. on record was planted, but unfortunately the winter wheat con-
 dition is very low. The department is now trying to determine exactly what can be expected.
 Secretary Houston feels that every reasonable effort must be made to
 make sure of an an ple wheat produc- ton and to assure I1Ve stock SUD- ply, feeliug that this is a good policy whether there is war or peace.
 The department has taken active steps to remove bad practices of farm- ing and ravages of diseases. The cat
 tle tick has been prartically cradica- ted in many parts of the South Hog cholera and tuberculosis in cattle and
 ether diseases are now receiving at-
 tention.
 Secretary Houston feels that there
 will not De as great a disturbance this
 year as last in the question oe farm
 labor on account of the fact that the
 draft will now consider the agricul~
 tural interests. He does not believe
 that the first list called of 100000
 names will cause very great disturb
 ance' among the. skilled farm labor. The department is encoura ging co- operation among the farmers in the
 same community in the use of labor shifting labor from one farm to an Ciher, using high school boys if nec-
 essary, forcing all slaclzers to work the Secretary of War if necessary will consider granting furloughs to sol diers who are skilled in farm work and the department is ancourag ging the production and shipment of the largest possible supply of farm ma chinery. Steps are also being taken to secure fertilizers at reasonable prices and Administrators are request et to cooperate in solving this ques- tion.
 The important subject of home gar- dcns is now under consideration. The increase last year in this respect is estimated variously from 50 per cent. to 15O per cent. The Administrators can assist in marketing this product by encoura aging, with the department, CdnulnS, GIyIll anu preserving The department is now studying the question of seed supply and will ap- preciate any possible assistance An appropriation of $2,5O0.0O0 for this purpose has been secured but strenu- GUS efforts must be made to secure good seed for next year
 MT. ScoviIIe, after relating what Secretary Houston had said at Wash ington took up the Connecticut situa-
 tion particularly and showed that the
 difficulties of transportation and dis rlbution, already unpleasantly appar- e1t, make it necessary that Connecti- cut should raise this year as much as possible of all food products. A thorough discussian of the various questions involved took place during and after the luncheon.

ROOSEVELT NOW INWASHINCTOn:;
 WARS ON BAKER,

Washington, Jan. 23.-PoItics is smeared all over the landscape here today.
 Col. Roosevelt's arrival yesterday morning, well press-a agented and care fully timed, gave the final touch to a picture remote from the subject of war In countries where the eXecu- tive arm of the government is directly responsible to the, legislative the situa- ton existing here would be called a ministerial crisis. But under the American form perhaps the best de scripticn that. can be given is to say that relations are tense between those who criticise the Presidents conduct of the war and those who support the methods which have been employed. The administration will 7se support ed on Thursday when the test comes over the passage of Senator Chamber lain's bill to create a war cabinet. To that prophecy can be. added another that among the adherents of the Pres ide0t when the count is taken will be found several Republicans who believe that this is no time for partisanship.
 Among certain of the Democrats there is a disposition to critfcise Sena- tor Stone for having brought into sharp relief the matter of politics in his speech Monday, but those who jus tify the Missourian's position say that he was countering against the move made recently by Senator Penrcse, who stated in so many words that the in- vestigations and the proffered reforms growing out of them had given the Republicans great campaign material for use this year in the congressional elections and in 1920.''

THREE AMERICAN INFANTRYMEN ARE
 KILLED IN ACTION

Washington. Jan. 29.-General Per shing reported today three American infantrymer killed in acticn on Jan. 21. He gave no details of the engage ment.
 The dead were:
 Private Albert Cook, nearest friend Delbert Coots West Almond, N. Y.
 Private Harry V. Garman, Catawba, Va
 Private Leo Tl Radi, Cleveland, o.
 These are the first reports of men killed in action in more than two months. In the opinion of army of ficers here the appearance of killed in action in the reports does not nec- essarily mean that American battaI- ions have returned to front line trenches for further training after an absence of some weeKs, but that is the interpretation generally placed on the news.

STORM NULLIFIES SAVING MADE BY
 CLOSING ORDERS

New York, Jan. 2S-New York's many industries, closed for the last five days by decree of the national fuel administration, resumed opera tions today with the coal shortage still acute. The saving of fuel result ing from the closing order has been virtually nullified, fuel administrators declared. by severe weather Storms prevented the normal supply of coal from reaching the city. The siX-inch fall of snow yesterday. which almost prostrated fuel transportation, was a discouraging continuation of a series of setbacks from the elements.
 At the end of the five day restric- tion period no official could say today just what were the effects of the in dustrial shutdown except that it had got coal to seaboard for ships.
 Homes in many parts of the coun- try still were without fuel although at the fuel administration it was said that complaints of lack of coal for household needs were fewer than they had been in weeks.
 Railroad congestion has not been much relieved, but it was impossible to say whether the closing order help ed or not. Bad weather nullified much of the good effects the general closing might have had in clearing the railroads and there was d wide differ | ence of opinion as to whether the shutdown would have assisted mater | ially in moving freight even if the weather had been good.
 Only 71 shipS remain to be cOaleC of the 21S in New York harbor that 1 had empty bunkers a week ago, ac- cording to J. E. Parsons, director o1 fuling of vessels here, representing the United States shipping board. "Of these T ships, none of con sequence is prevented from sailing for
 want of coal" said MT. Parsons to-
 day. Many of them are awaiting
 cargo and would therefore not depar even if they had been coaled-"

MAKING PLANS TO FIND CREWS FOR
 MERCHANT SHIPS
Shipping Board Prepares for the Service of New Vessels
 Soon to be Launched.

Boston, Jan. 23-Plans now being matured by the Recruiting Service of the United States Shipping Board re- veal a system of preparation in con- nection with manning the new mer- chant marine that for thoroughness will not suffer by comparison with any known example of German eff cheney.
 After securing chief engineers for service on the new-type fast cargo ships now being constructed under it's direction, the board vii give the men an exceptional opportunity to learn all there is to know about the engines they are to operate by sending them to the works where the engines are being built. Each chief will follow his own engine through the process of construction, and then to the ship building yard, where he will supervise its erection on board the ship, and will take charge of it as chief engin- eer when the vessel goes into com mission.
 The board probably will first call for 125 chief engineers for this wark While on this special duty a chief VIII ICC61ES DOJ@l pay illu olIl c1S- quate allowance for board. On board ship he will receive the standard pay for his grade in the merchant marine which is high, and a bonus for war zone voyages.
 The demand thus created for the services of chief engineers is expect ed greatly to stimulate activity among first assistant engineers who wish tc become chiefs. To assist any men o1 this grade, or of lower grades, to se-
 cure promotion, the Shipping BoarG | invites them to it's free schools in Ma. rine Engineering, where they may brush up on technical matters 1 from a week to q month, as they may choose. There are eight of these
 schools, located respectively at Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, Cam bridge, Stevens Institute, Hoboken
 The Bourse, Philadelphia, John
 Hopkins University, Baltimore, Cas-
 School of Applied Science, Cleveland
 Armour Institute, Chicago, Universit!
 of Washington, Seattle, and Tulan'

Chicago, Jan. 2S - Kabenawoy- wence, a Chippewa Indian, said to be 130 years old, who is here from his home in Cass Lake, Minn., to attend the automobile show which opens next Monday, does not like the white mans bed. Although he occupied a room with a bath at a leading downtown hotel last night he slept on the floor. He said that beds in hotels and herths in sleeping cars give one a eramp.
 According to the records at the agency where Kabenawoywence lives, he is the oldest Indian in America.

PetrogPad, Jan 23 - All of northern Russia is in a critical condition because of lack of food and fuel. Starvation and freezing threaten the popula- ton.
 The collapse of the transpor- tation situation, the idleness of hundreds of thousands, and the closing of the banks contribute to the situation. In Moscow the allowance of bread has been cut to a quarter of a pound a day. Eggs have been restricted to children under three years of age, and each child may have only four eggs a month. Eggs, however, are impossible to get at any price.
 A complete suspension of passenger trains has been tried in an effort tC speed up food transportation from Si- beria and from southern Russia. This has been greatly interfered with however, by wandering companies o1 soldiers, who insist that their train: have preference over freight. Ever! train coming into Moscow and Petro grad is crowded with soldiers. i Bank withdrawals are limited to 5t ] roubles a day for each depositor. Lont lines stand constantly at the banks because of the delays in cashing tn, | checks. Agents of the Bolshevik have opened safe deposit boxes ant confiscated hoardings of gold and sil yer and turned hoarded paper none, into the current bank accounts of tn 1 owners.
 The situation is desperate, but tn populace has been quiet so far.
