TRADE CONTROL
ORGANIZATION
OUTLINES PLAN
Country'S Imports and Ex-
ports to Be Put Under Ii
cenSe to Save Tonnage for
Carrying on War.


Washington, Feb. 11.-President
Wilson's proclamation to be issued
next Monday, putting the country's
entire foreign trade under license is
expected to be followed Immediately
by institution of system of control
without delay in setting up an organ
ization.
The bureau Of foreign and domes-
tic commerce, the shipping board
and the war trade board will coop
crate in the work.
DR.. julius Klein wilr be the bureaus
representative in the division Of plan
ming recently created by the shipping
board under direction of Dean Gay of
Harvard.
Extension of the present partial
control of imports to all purchases of
foreign goods will raise again the
and essentials, inasmuch as the
desired result of saving tonnage for
war uses must be accomplished
through reduction in the use Of ships
for carrying commodities not directly
contributing to the war. Officials
realize that these mon essentials"
must be restricted and after the presi-
dents proclamation is issued the i'm
portation of many luxuries will be
cut down.
One important result of the licens-
ing system is expected to be an inn
petus to the building of ships, espe-
cially by neutrals. As America is the
dominant factor in commerce today,
trade restrictions employed by this
country will have far-reaching influ-
ence. which will compel construction
Of ships elsewhere as tonnage space
grows more and more valuable.

ENACTMENT Of
RAILROAD BILL
At ONCE URGED
Importance Of Measure to
Prosecution of War Recog-
nized in Congress; Number
of Speeches Planned,

Washington, Feb. 11.--Enactment
of the administration railroad bill
with as little delay as possible be-
cause of its Importance as a war
measure and its relation to the finan-
cial problems, was urged by Chairman
Smith of the interstate commerce
committee today, when consideration
of the measure began in the senate.
Debate of the bill opened with but
few senator's in their seats. Many,
however, have announced their inten-
tions of discussing the measure and
administration leaders admit final
vote will hardly be reached much
before the end of the month.
Because of President Wilson's un-
expected visit to the capitol and the
rush of other business, the house was
unable to take up the railroad bill to-
day. Chairman Sims announced he
would attempt to obtain an agreement
tomorrow for consideration of the
measure to begin later in the week,
probably on Thursday.

EVENTS OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
New School Building to Be Erected School StreetCity Gave Seventh Regiment of New York Great Time on Visit Here = Too Hot on Fourth of July to Cele- brate Much.

In Norwich fifty years ago one of the greatest events in it's history took place when the Seventh regiment visited the city on their annual ex- cursion. The city was thronged with guests from all parts of New England and New York. At a large tent on Williams Park over 1,200 people were served with dinner. The Fourth of quietest in the history of the city.
 Extracts from The Bulletins files of '6S foilow:-
 Fourth Very Quiet and Hot.
 July 6, 1S6S:-The Fourth was one of the quietest in may years owing chiefly to the extreme heat of the day which made it a bore to even try to celebrate. The thermometer registered 95 and 9S degrees in the shade. The heat however did not prevent the younger generation from celebrating and they were out with their cannon pistols and Chinese crackers long be- fore daylight At sunrise and sunset salutes were fired and bells were rung There were several picnis parties but even they failed to keep cool.
 There was only one serious accident on the Fourth and that was when Fred Guilfofd accidentally discharged a pistol the whole load entering the palm of his hand. The charge passed through the member, badly mangling it and it is feared that he will lose his hand as amputation is necessary.
 Sunday although there was a thunder shower was as hot if not hotter than on the Fourth and those attending church sweltered.
 poIica NHGcare Elan%ad July ', 1S69:-At the July meeting of the common council the election of police officers resulted as follows: Captain, Nathan Small; lieutenant, William F. Whaley; patrolmen, John 1 Benson, Henry A. Button, William s. | Gordon, James Potter, Horace C. Rogers, James E. Dewolf, James Luce i George w. DeniSon and ErastuS H | Gardner.
 Hartford is disgruntled because the Seventh regiment chose to come to Norwich on their annual excursion in stead of visiting that delightful city l The floor for the tent in which 1.20( are to be fed on that eventful day has been laid and the executive committed is working hard completing final ar engagements.
 To Enlarge School.
 July s, 1S6S:-At a meeting of the voters of the Central school district the action of a previous meeting in re- gard to building a new school house on the location of the old school sits on School street, was ratified. Two plans for the new building have beer presented, one will cost $24,000 and the smaller about $18,000.

SUES DIR. JOHNSON
 ESTATE FOR $s,ooe
Administratrix of Attorney comstock Brings Claim For His Legal Ser vices to Late Bozrah Doctor.

Suit for $8,OO0 damages has been brought against the estate of the late Dr. Nathan Johnson of Bozrah by Nellie w. Alexander of Providence as administratrix of the estate of the late Charles w Comstocll, well known dur ing his lifetime as a prominent attor ney of this city.
 Ths claim against the Dr. Johnson estate is made on the grounds that MT Comstock rendered legal services and gave financial counsel to Dr. Johnson at the request of the doctor. which we're reasonably worth $7,000. These have never been paid for, though Dr Johnson promised many times to do so it is claimed, and the claim has been disallowed by Earl Mathewson, ad- ministrator of the Johnson estate who is made the defendant in the suit The services were rendered between April 1, 1911. and April 1, 1917, which was eight days before Dr. Johnson died.

of the law firm of Gross, Hyde & Shipman of Hartford, attorneys for Mir Porter, MT. Stead gave lease to Mir Porter to maintain and use that chimney opening for eight years and four months, for which they paid regularly monthly rental. That lease expired in May, 1917. At that time and for several years before the Capitol lunch business was carried on by new purchasers of the same, viz: Brecken- ridge & Fleming. Is March, 1917, MT. Stead, by his attorney. Joseph T. Fan ming, gave written notice to Brecken- ridge & Fleming to stop the use of that chimney on May l, the time when the Porter lease expired. Breckenridge & Fleming obeyed that notice and stopped using that chimney in their business from that date. Later, in the fall of 1917, the present owners of the Capitol lunch took possession of that restaurant and entered the same chimney with the pipe from their stoves. MT. Stead thereupon ordered them to stop using that chimney, but they continued the use of the chim- ney.
 In April of this year MT Stood sealed up the chimney in the cellar and pre- vented the further use of the same by the owners of the Capitol lunch, now known as the Chelsea lunch.
 The main question in the case now is as to the ownership of the wall in which the chimney in dispute is locat ed. Plans and surveys made by George F. Pitcher for Mir. Somers and plans and surveys by c. E. Chandler for MT. Stead were laid in evidence before Judge Waller and testimony by these two civil engineers was given at length before Judge Waller as to the loca-
 tion of the Stead wall and the boun- dary line between the Stead and Som CTS property.
 One witness for the Somers side who occupied the third floor of the Somers building said that she as a tenant of the ] Somers building on the third floor had used the chimney in question many i years ago, and another witness teSti- 1 fled that John R. McNamara at a time l when he occupied a store in the Som
 CTS building had used the chimney in dispute.
 The case is still unfinished and has 1 been postponed to Tuesday, July Is,
 for the hearing of further testimony
 in the cause. So far no testimony has been offered to show that Mir 1 Morley had done any act or thing re- | garding stopping up the chimney and 1 he testified that the stopping of the | chimney was done in his absence and
 without his knowledge.
 In the trial Brown x James are
 representing the plaintiff and William H. Shields and Joseph T. Tanning are counsel for MT. Stead.
