TREASON CHARGED
 AGAINST FRESHMAN
John I. Ryan Accused Of Plotting
 With German Agents Here

New York, Jan. 22.-Following the indictment of Jay Willard Robinson on Monday for treason the fedora l grand jury yesterday indicted John T.. Ryan on the same charge. Ryan, who is a fugitive from justice, was al ready under indictment for conspir- acy to commit treason. It is believed that he is hiding h Mexico, and Fed eral Prosecutor George Winship Taylor, who Is in charge of the pros ecution of treason charges, said that if he should be found in that country there would be little difficulty about bringing him here for trial.
 It is alleged that Ryan was one of the leaders in the Irish plotting, and that he and Jeremiah A. O'Leary worked together to bring about the defeat of the Allies. Ryan was born in Brookline, Mass, about 45 years ago. He studied law, was admitted to the bar and practiced in Buffalo.
 The indictment charges that from April 6, 1917, to December 20, 1918, he was in frequent communication with Maria K. de Nictorica, called also Maria von Kretschmann, which is
 
 eral other names, who, 1t is charged, was here as a paid spy and agent for the German government.
 On July 20, 1917, the indictment charges, Ryan with the assistance of O'Leary took Mme de Victorica to a certain place in Riverside drive and there met man referred to by Ryan as 'Hurley' for the purpose of employing him to act as a messenger for Victorica in carrying information from the United States to the German government and its agents; that be- tween November 3 and December ,. 1917, Ryan paid to Victortca $4.50O to be used by her in her work as a German agent and that Ryan from April 6, 1917, to December 20, 1918, agreed and conspired with Victorica, Robinson, Hurley and various agents and officials of the German govern mert residing in Mexico, Brazil, Ger many. Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark Norway the Netherlands, Ireland and Spain. and with other persons that Victorica should remain in the Unit od States and that her identity and activities should be concealed from the officials here and that secret let. +ers and communications containing information for the use of the Ger man government should be sent by 1 messengers to Germany.
 If is also alleged in the indictment that arrangements were made to the e,d that Victorica should have suf- { fcient money to carry out her plans

RAILROAD CHANGES.
But Few Trains on Local Lines Arc
 Affected

On Sunday next the new train schedule of the N. Y, N. H. & H. will go into effect. The changes in trains affecting New Britain are few. There are no big changes on the main line On the Highland division, however. there are at least two changes which will affect this city. The change is in reality taking off one train on regular schedule and adding it at a later tim of day. The change, however, will be for the benefit of this city. Train No. 2032, now leaving Bristol daily at 12:15 D. m. for Hartford will be oper- ated on Saturdays and Sundays only. Train No. 2040, leaving Bristol Sun days only at 2:55 D m. for Hartford will be operated daily except Satur- days. The pulling off, of the first named train will not be missed The addition of the latter, however will be greatly appreciated. For some time there has been felt in this city the necessity for another train in the af- ter1oOn.
 At the present time there Is no train leaving this city for Hartford from 1;20 D. m. until almost , D, m For a city the size of New Britain and with the amount of business this city has the condition was deplorable Traveling men could not fathom the reasons why such a business city did not have steam communication with the outer world on a better schedule than the present one. The new train will be of special value to the busi- ness men as we'll as a convenience to the entire public.

 The way the Republicans attacked Hoover Tn the House Monday seems to dispose of him a possible Re- publican candidate for the presidency. They tried to have the S100,000, 900 appropriation for European food re- lief placed in the hands of the Red Cross instead of in Hoover's hands, and agreed to vote for it on those terms Congressman Wood of Indiana called Mir Hoover the representative of the Allies not of the United States, and intimated that he had no interest in economizing our money SO long as Europe got the benefit of it.

 These meetings are set forth in ths indictment as having occurred o1 July and 29, August ', 12 and 26, and September g., 23 and 30, and Oc- lober {, 1917. These frequent meet lnes, 1t is explained, were for the pur- pose of considering what should be- done to further assist Germany in the war against the United States td counsel and advise the woman, to help her carry on her work without be- coming known, and to provide tha necessary information to Germany and that Ryan save her a small dic- tionary to De used in the selection of words to be used in 8 code. 1t is also alleged that Ryan actually gath- cred information for Victorica which might be used in the interests of Ger many against the United States and aided her in every way that he could,

 them in furthering the aims of C4er1 many. Ryan, it was also said, WAS i'm close touch with Sir Roger Casemens all the time the latter was in this country, and that Ryan was chosem as mem Der Of the committee Which was to carry to Washington the reso- luton of sympathy adopted al the Irish mass meeting in August, 1915.
 Prosecutor Taylor told the reportS CTS that early in 1918 Ryan sent a messenger who is known to the au- thorities as Jerry" to Mexico fo1Y $2O,O0O which he was to receive from the German representatives there. that Jerry" returned with the money, that Ryan gave the messen- ger S2,0O0, and after deducting the $4,5oo he had given tc victorica turned the rest of the money over tu her.
 Ryan was suspected of having been in the plot to destroy the Welland canal in Canada. having acted in con- cert with Captain won PaDCn, former military attaChe of the German em4 hassN, and with Horst von der Goltz. q German agent, and of having been active ln all of the Sim Fein plottins in this country. Ryan left Buffalo olt May last for al automobile 'rip tq hochester. That was the last infor1 nation the authorities have had of him.
 Ryan was captain in the Spanish war, and barring the charges pendiaS against him for acts against thiS country his record is good. He is described in a government circular asking for information concerning his whereabouts as being feet 10 inches tall weight about 90 noun5s a full face, oval chin and an Africau nose. MT.

S | large that we have as Chief Execu- ship that he professes to believe Woodrow Wilson has no business in Europe? Frankly, we don't think the state wants the rest of the nation to believe that. If there is one thing above another that gives the direct lie to Governor Holcombs bomba words it is the fact that already the Conferees at Paris with Woodrow Wilson as their guiding spirit have laid the groundwork for a society of nations which will strive for the protection of millions of people from injustice. Words are inadequate to express the contempt the American public should hold for such convic- tions as expressed by the man who barely sneaked into office last Novem- | Der.
 The peace of Europe is the business | of the United States-the war has | proved that. The sufferings of others 1 is the business of the United States 1 or we should go out of business. | Bringing joy and contentment to the ! lives of races who have as much right l on earth ac we have is the business of 1 the United States. So adjusting for | eign differences that we will never | again have to send two million men ! across any ocean, that we may never | be forced to sacrifice the best of our
 manhood to crush an enemy threat 1 ening our sovereignty, that fathers and mothers may never be asked to ! give their own flesh to erect wall 1 between us and imperial greed at tracted by our prosperity-that, all 1 that, is the business of the United 1 States. If Governor Holcomb in all | sincerity believes that the United | States has no interest in the affairs of | Europe he is not the man the people 1 have believed him to be. If he made | the statement for the mere purpose 1 of listening to a batter of applause
 reverberating against his ear drums 1 he should turn over the affairs of | state to someone who is abreast of
 the times. It is astounding that the l Governor of our Connecticut should | stand before a gathering of real
 American citizens and give voice to
 such sentiments. It is not only
 astounding, it is painful.
 Governor Holcomb aspires to go
 down in history as the greatest War
 Governor Connecticut ever had. Per
 haps he will receive this credit in a
 certain reactionary school of thought,
 but unless he guards his tongue more
 closely he will be remembered by the
 country not as the brilliant patriot he
 appeared to be when we first entered
 the conflict but as a bitter hearted q
 old man, mentally incapable of grasp
 ing the big, broad things of life.
 My party, may she always be in
 the right, but my party right or l wrong," is apparently the motto of
 Marcus H. Holcomb.
