AGAIN REFUSES RATIFICATION.
Connecticut Senate Wouldn't Confer with
House on Resolution.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. l2-The Sen
ate joint resolution to ratify the federal
prohibition amendment, rejected by the
Senate and yesterday adopted by the
House, was in effect finally killed by the
Senate to-day, which voted "a to to
adhere to its former rejection.
The parliamentary situation was made
simple by failure Of any senator to raise
the point that the Senate, having re-
fused to reconsider rejection, could not
again consider the matter. Instead. aft
er Clerk Kenealy had read the endorse
ments on the bill, Senator Brooks moved
that the Senate adhere. This Senator
Woodruff objected to on the ground that
1t would be discourteous to the. House.
He thought a conference committee
ought to have a chance to consider the
disagreement. Senator Hemenway point
ed out that the House had refused to
reconsider its action and conference
would be without result.
Lieutenant Governor Wilson said the
resolution was before the Senate. This
was tantamount to a ruling that the
Senate's previous refusal to reconsider
its rejection of the resolution did not
bar the measure from further consid-
Grafton. There was no debate, and the
vote to adhere prevailed by a rising vote.

To Participate in the Con-
ference With the
Allies
FOUR FACTIONS
MAY BE PRESENT
Success of the Conference
Seems Far More
Certain

Paris, Feb. u tby Associated Press)
Prospects are Frightening for the as
sembling of at least four of the Russian
factions at the conference to be held on
the Princes Islands.
Word has come that the Ukraine gov
ernment will participat~s and it is re-
ported that the indecision of the gov
ernment of General Denikine has given
way to a desire to join the conference.
The government Of the Crimea already
has accepted the invitation, as has the
Russian bolshevik government.
1t is beginning to appear that a suffi-
cient number of other factions viii be
in evidence TO meet the bolsheyiki and
entente and American representatives to
assure the success of the conference
plan. The success of the conference,
however, is believed to depend upon the
willingness of the Moscow soviet to give
certain guarantees, such as the cessa
tion OF hostilities and the withdrawal Of
the bolshevik forces from the provinces
which they have invaded It is by no
means certain that the soviet govern
ment will agree to any such guarantees.

Rights Of Russia or China

Washington, d. c., Feb. l2.--Acting
Secretary Polk announced at the state
department to-day that the United
States had accepted formally the pro-
posal of the japanese government in re-
gard to plans for the restoration of rail
way traffic in Siberia
"The purpose of the agreement Mr..
Folks statement said, "is to assist the
Russians in Siberia in regaining their
normal condition of life, and has been
reached upon definite understanding
that the railways are to be operated for
the interests of the people Of Siberia.
The United States and Japan have eX-
pressly voiced their disinterested pur-
pose not to interfere in any existing
right either of Russia, or, where the
Chinese Eastern is concerned, of China"
Under the plan, which already is being
put into effect, the Siberian railway sys-
TEN, which includes the Chinese Eastern
railway, is to be supervised by an inter
allied commission, with a Russian as
chairman In addition to Russia, Japan
and the United States, Great Britain,
France, Italy and China have been asked

Technical and economic management
Of the railways will be in the hands Of a
technical board, the president of which
will be John F, Stevens, who was head
of the American railway commission sent

BRITISH LABOR NOT SATISFIED
With Program Submitted BY Premier
Lloyd George.

London Feb. I2--While the press
generally approves Of Premier Lloyd
Georges labor program, it fails to sat
isfy the parliamentary labor party
which has prepared an amendment TO the
reply to the speech from the throne, re-
GREETING the absence of definite proposals
dealing with ''thc present cases Of in.
dustrial unrest and for securing, as re-
CARDS wages and working hours, condi-
tions of labor which will establish a
higher standard OF life and social we'll
being for the people"
Mr.. Lloyd Georges proposals also are
adversely criticised by the radicals sec
tion of the press, which regards them
as vague and unlikely to be carried out
by what is alleged to be a ''Teactionary
parliament"
The labor situation reaches a crisis
to-day in conference between the gov
ernment and three great unions, repre-
senting nearly 100000 workers, the re-.
suit Of whose demands is awaited with
keen interest by the entire labor world
The unions are the Miners Federation
Of Great Britain, membership, 100000;
NbLlbIdi Z. Hibtt Ol hdliNd Y tiltUt lNGAH-
bership, 100000, and the National Trans
port Workers federation, membership,
100000. The unions are acting together
and it is believed they have agreed on
joint action if dissatisfied with the re.
suit of the conference.
The railwaymeus demands include a
4S. hour week and control Of railways
by representatives Of the managements
and workers. This latter clause is con
sidered a step toward naturalization,
but an alternative has been prepared in
the form of mission of labor delegates
and boards of directors.
The miners want a six hour day and
30 per cent increase in wages, while
the transport workers demand a A
hour week and wage increase Of 20
per cent.
While the Northelifie newspapers gen
orally approve Of the Lloyd George pro
gram, the premier is openly attacked
by Viscount NorthclifFe in a new weekly
published to-day, The attack is in an
article cabed to the publication by Wis
count Northcliffe, who is in southern
France. Mr. Lloyd George is said to be
Il political chameleon who lacks force
to compel the Tories and their allies in
Parliament to accept needed reforms,
The premier is accused of waiting for the
newspapers to tell him what to do,

ate the business and financial affairs of
the American army in England and
France, was announced to-day by Secre-
tary Baker Edwin B. Parker of Hous-

SEN. HOLLIS CHOSEN
MEMBER OF BOARD
BRITISH NAVY WAS
IN POOR POSITION
Daring the First Two and 0ne-Half
Years of the War Owing to Ger
man Use Of Submarines, Mines
and Torpedoes, Says
~.. Jellicoe.

London, Feb. 12-The danger to which
the British grand feet, short of cruis-
ers and destroyers, and with defenseess
bases, was exposed during the first two
and one-haf years of the war owing to
the German use of submarines, mines
and torpedoes, is described in a book
written by Admiral Viscount Jelicoe,
former commander of the fleet, and pub.
lished to-day, covering the activities Of
l9l4-l6.
Admiral Jellicoe points out that the
German high seas fleet possessed SIS de-
stroyers compared with AZ for the grand
feet, and reveals that owing to the sub
marine menace the grand fleet, in the
fall of 1914 moved from Loughswilly,
returning to the North sea only when the
anchorage in Seapa Flow became rea-
sonably safe.
Neither in October, 1914, nor in May,
1916, Admiral Jellicoe says, did the Brit
isb margin of superiority Justify him in
disregarding the enemy's torpedo fire.
The situation gradually improved after
1916, especially as the light cruiser and
destroyer forces with the grand feet in.
creased steadily after the battle of Jut-
land, considerably reducing the danger
OF successful torpedo attack, while the
inclusion of class X submarines made it
probable that the enemy would suffer
more severely from submarine attack
than the British, Regarding 1918, Ad-
miral Jellicoe says:
"The position was assured and we
could have afforded to take risks which
in 1916 would have been most unwise.
If the German feet had come out to bat
tie, terrible punishment awaited them"

AMERICAN PLAN IS POSSIBLE.
Because 1t Does Not Demand More Than
Germany Can Pay.

Paris, Feb l2.--The reparation com
mission of the peace conference has before
it, according to the Temps, three prop
ositions as basis for the settlement Of
claims against Germany. It is said the
French propose to assess against Ger
many all damages to property, national
and individual, from the war, in addition
to her outlay for military purposes. The
British plan, proposed by Premier
Hughes OF Australia differs from the
French only in that he gives no prefer
ence to any class of claims The Amer
lean plan opposes any demands, except
ing losses to pillage and devastation by
German armies, it is said.
Total claims under the first two plans
are estimated at a thousand billion
francs The American plan would reduce
the total to an amount Germany prob
ably will be able to pay, it is asserted
by the newspaper. The French are said
to have accepted the British plan as a
basis of discussion, but the whole sub
ject is stiH open

MONEY FROM AMERICA
Said to Have Financed the Bolshevilz
Movement in Russia.

Washington, d. c., Feb, l2.--Success
of the bolshevik movement in Russia
was attributed to aid from the lower
cast side Of New York, by Rev. q. A.
Simmons, former head of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Russia. testifying
to-day at the Senate Judiciary sub-com-
mittee's inquiry into lawless agitation in
the United States.
The witness also said the predominant
ing influence of the bolsheviki propagan-
da here was the Yiddish element of the
east side He explained that he was not
in sympathy with any anti-semitic move
ment, and that in stating his views he
meant to cast no reflection upon Jewish
people in general
Immediately after the Kerensky revo-
luton in 1917, DIR. Simmons said, senti-
ment in Russia was pro-ally, but within
few months, when the bolshevik move
ment developed, a strong pro-German
current developed, with more than half
the agitators Jews, including many from
New York.
