HOLCOMB WOULD KILL
IS PER CENT. OF DOGS
Holcomb Believes Sheep Raising
Would Boom as Result of Death
OF CANNES

Winsted. Feb. 15.--Governor Hol-
comb in acknowledging a letter from
8. Il. Moore who wants dogs trea ted
as domestic animals and legislated to
q limited number, says:
Il have long felt that the sheep
versus dog question is of vital inter-
est the state. Thus far every rem
edial legislative effort which would
be Of any effect has been defeated.
My own opinion is that if rs per
cent. of the dogs in Connecticut were
killed the sheep industry would re-
vive to the great advantage of the
state. The food question is getting
to be acute and the raising of sheep
would materially help the state ana
he benefit to the farmer
Mr.. Moore has been campaigning
on the dog versus sheep question ana
desires that the general assembly at
it's next session do something to re-
tore the sheep industry.

GRAB GERMAN firm
!, Schultz & KOertins Of Philadel-
phia Owned by Enemy Interests

Washington, Feb. 15.-In hear
ing by the Bureau of Investigation Of
the Alien Property Custodian it was
= established that the firm of Schultz
K koerting of Philadelphia was Ger
man-owned, an officer of which, Adal-
bert Wilhelm Fischer is now informed
as a dangerous enemy alien.
A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property
custodian, issued this statement
showing the moves made to conceal
Oe identity of the German ownership
OF the firm:
Daniel w. Hildreth, vice president
ana treasurer of the Schultz &. Koert-
ing company, a PENNSYLVANIA corpor-
auon located in Philadelphia, and J.
Wilson Bayard of Prichard, Saul,
I2ayard & Evans, the ATTORNEYS for
the Schultz & Koerting company;
Adalhert X. Fischer, and Helene
= Fischer. his wife, all of Philadelphia,
were given hearing conducted by
Francis p. Caravan of New York di-
rector of the bureau of investiga ton
Of the alien property custodian's Of
fee. 1t was developed that this firm
was entirely owned by German in
terests in Germany. Corrected re-
ports will be filed by the company
under the trading with the enemy
get, which will largely increase the
Indebtedness which they had former
~ reported as due to enemies. anC
the alien property custodian will i'm
mediately take over the plant and it!
business.
The plant is valued at s1,700,00

gagged on contracts for government

POTATOES ALMOST GONE
But Plan VIII Not Likely Be Followed
Out Another Summer

During the past few weeks the
sales of municipal potatoes have in
creased rapidly until today there are
only about $500 bushels left. Orig
inally there were about 1900 bushels,
but of this amount a large number { f
bushels were lost by freezing during
the first cold spell and another qual-
tity was lost by shrinllage during the
winter,
Mayor Quigley states that it is eX-
tremely unlikely that the municipal
farm project will be carried out again
this summer Instead, he says. it is
likely that the 40-acre tract leased
by the farm committee will be cat
into small plots and utilized by the
New Britain Gardens committee which
made such a success last summer.

du Pont. Del. as a dangerous enemy
alien.
1.-The surplus earnings for this com
pany for the riscal year ending March
IS, 1913 are estimated at over $500,
600.
1.-The result of the hearing today
brings to a swift conclusion the steps
instituted by the alien property custo-
dian on February s, following the in
ternment Of Fischer, to uncover the
real ownership of this concern. Yes
terdays search of the Fischer resi-
dence in Philadelphia and the subse
Quent seizure of the safe by the Ge-
partment of justice agents was done
at the request of the alien property
custodian on evidence secured by his
investigators.
This case proves that futility of the
plans on the part of any individual or
corporation in this country who may
have hoped to conceal the real own
ership Of German owned property in
contemplation of any plan to avoid
the anticipated seizure of property by
the Alien Property Custodian follow
ing the declaration of war. All the
papers in this Schultz & Kerting
Company case will be forwarded to
the Department Of Justice for the
purpose of prosecuting those guilty
of any violation of the Trading with
| the Enemy act
THE records in the office of the
| alien property custodian disclose a
| somewhat general scheme to conceal
! tho enemy character OF property
owned in the United States by Ger
| man residents abroad, through al
| legged sales of it claimed to have
! been made on Or about the time dip
/ lomatic relations between the United
States and Germany were severed,
! and before the declaration OF war.
| Our records disclose many specious
, transfers where this was attempted,
| and a favorite subterfuge was the
alleged payment for such property by
notes not payable by their terms for
many years.
In the Schultz and Koerting case
the note was for $4,000, and was
not payable until 1887, and was
claimed to have been given as the
, consideration Of the alleged sale Of
the common stock of this company te
Mrs. Fischer.
Both the Schultz & Koerting com
pany and Mrs. Fischer recorded ir
their reports under oath that the sale
was consummated and the note giveI
on or prior to Feb. 10, 1917, when
as a. matter of fact, the investigation
before tho alien property custodian
laid bare the fact that the note wa
not signed by Mrs. Fischer unit
April "a, 1917. some three weeks aft
err war was declared"
