CONGRESSMAN BYRNES
 ATTACKS SIMS SPEECH
South Carolina Representa- tive Calls Admiral a 'Hy-
 phenated Politician"

Washington, Jan. 27.-Rear Admir- al Sims was vigorously attacked to- day in the House by Representative Byrres, democrat, South Carolina.
 Declaring that if the admiral was admonisheG by a high naval official not to let the British pull the wool'' over his eyes, Us he testified recently before the senate naval decorations committee he violated a confidence in ma king the instructions public, Byrnes said he deserved the con- demnation Of every American and a dishoncrablh discharge from the navy"
 Characterizing Admiral Sims as a ''hyphenated politician" Representa- tive Byrnes charged that when serv- ing as commander of American nay al forces in European waters during the war he had ''libelled the army and 1epreciated the work of the navy and had urged that the Tinted States leave the control of the seas to Great Britain. n

CONGRESSMAN TlLSON
 URGES ARMY SHAKE.UP
Would Eliminate Caste" in American Fighting Forces,
 Cites Its Harm.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Urging elim- 1nation of caste in the army Repre- sentative Tllson, republican, Connect icut, who has himself commanded a regiment, declared in the house to- day that there can be no doubt that there has come from out of the re- cent war, more than from any other wan, feeling of antipathy on the part of enlisted men against army officers as a class
 Caste was never entitled to a place or even consideration in Amer ica,' he said. 'Unfortunately it was taken up somewhat early by a few of the small circe officers in our toy army. It even took root in the soil of West Point and has never ceased to grow in the rare and rarified at mosphere of tha great institution.
 ''The human element cannot be eliminated. It ought not be attempt ed. American soldiers cannot be molded into inanimate cogs in a ma chine though they can be developed into highly trained units of a great orgal.:z :zatic h."
 While in Paris on Oct. 30, 191S,'' said Byrnes," Admiral Sims told Rep resentative Glass of Virginia, Whaley of South Carolina and myself that the armistice asked for by the enemy would have to be granted because of the failure of Pershing to break through the German ranks due to the disastrous breakdown in transporta- tion behind the American lines. We visited the headquarters of the serv- ice of supplies and found that only a few days previous Pershing had written the s o s. congratulating g them on their wonderful work in sup plying the forces in the field. The statement of Sims was false and for his inexcusable islander he should be made to answer to the American doughboy.''

MELTING ICE WRECKS CARS
Today's Thaw Causes Damages of S3.0OO in East Side Garage-Two Cars Demolished.

Two autom obiles, valued at S3,000, were wrecked this morning when the roof of the East Side garage gave way under it's weight of ice and snow. The cars are the property of Benjamin Marholin, proprietor, and Were both stored in a corner of the building that collapsed.
 MT. Marholin believes that the melting of the snow and ice caused it to slide to the corner of the building where the runway blocked it. The accumulation of several patches of snow was too much for the building and the walls spread, causing the ice to fall on the cars and imm ediately aftcrWard one of the side walls fell in, crashing against the machjnes For tunatedy. all the other cars stored in the garage were in another section of the building and were not damaged. Because of the unusual nature of the accident and the absence of a clause to cover such an occurrence in his insurance policies. the owner will probe bly suffer d, total loss.

SPANISH SWINDLE' IS BEING ATTEMPTED HERE
More Than 100 Letters
 From Europe Are Already Received At Post Office.

The old spanish Swindle", for 20 years dormant, has been revived, more than a hundred New Britain res 1 1denls having received letters from an Imprisoned Spaniard in Seville, Spain, who promises a third of S36o,- GOO, which he has hidden in a secret pocket of his portmanteau." He d. rects in his letter that first of all a cable be sent to one Pedro Lopez in Seville if interested, and further con- fidences will be exchanged. The Spaniard claims to have been put into a Spanish prison on account of bank 'ruptcy, but that he left behind him $360,000 in America, one third of which will be turned over as a reward to- the person who will cable the money necessary to raise the seizure of his baggage and the expenses of his trial Among his baggage is a port manteau containing a secret pockec where he has hidden check for the S36O;OO0.
 The Spaniard further adds that he cannot receive the answer to his re- quest while in prison, but directs that a cablegram be sent to a person of. his confidence who will deliver the mes sage. The letter as received here reads:
 Madrid, 22-12-19. Dear Sir:
 Being imprisoned here by bank ruptcy, I beg your aid to recover sa sum of $36O,000 I have in America, being necessary to come here to raise the seizure of my baggage paying to the Registrar of the Court, the ex- penses of my trial and recover my portman teau containing secret pocket where I have hidden one check for that sum.
 By reward I offer tho third part, viz: $120,000.
 T cannot receive your answer ln prison, but you must send a cable gram. to a person of my confidence who will deliver it to me.
 Awaiting your cable to intrust you with all my secret.
 Yours truly.
 '.R. de F.
 First of all answer by cable, not by letter, as follows:
 Pedro Lopez, :.Lista. de Telegrapos,, Sevilla Spain The postal authorities, when the batch of letters were received in Nev York, were suspicious of what the let ters might contain, so they mark Il Ine ehVelope III req With the stamp Supposed to contain matter prohib- ited.' When the letters were ----.. d here, Postmaster W. r. Delaney in structed his carriers to request all persons receiving the letters to .,.cl them into the office after they had been read. Over a hundred lette $ have been returned to date. There is no idea as to how widespread the let ters have been sent, it being probab ble that many cities throughout the state if not the country have been receiving these letters in the past week.

Despite Large Number. Health Dept. Advises Against Undue Alarm
 Doctors Not Worried.

Additional cases of influenza report ed to the board of health up to 2 o'clock this afternoon bring the city 5 total to 123 and, while that number appears to be a large one, officials or the board of health are inclined to re- gard New Britain most fortunate in the Comparatively small mum Der of sufferers and the unusually mild form of influenza prevalent here. Thirty eight new cases were brought to the boards attention today.
 In the health report issued from the state boards office last week, this city is among tho lowest ill the list of flu patients. Other cities had re- ported victims in figures running into the hundreds, while this city had but T. Semi-official reports state thrt cities aud towns throughout the state have been numbering new cases at about the same rate as New Britain which leaves this city still toward the bottom of the list.
 The board has been assured by phy- sicians attending the influenza suf- ferers that there is no cause Cor alarm. Practically all the cases thus far reported have been mild ones and the fact that patients have secured medical assistance at once, thus safe guarding themselves. has been in pa # responsible for the confinement of the disease. As yet not a single death from influenza has been reported to the board of health since it's outbreak here.
