Attorney General DisapproVes Sterling and Graham Measures
PROPOSES ANOTHER METHOD
Gompcrs Also Condemns Measures as Striking Against Organized Labor Refers to "FOOlS in Congress- Who Hate ard Nilify Him.

Washin gton, Jan. 2.-Disapprov- ing both the Sterling and Graham se- dition bills, Attorney General Palm CT in a letter today to Chairman Camp bell of the house rule committee pro- posed a new measure which would provide fines not exceeding $10,000 and Imprisonment of not more than 20 years for persons convicted of at tempting to overthrow the govern mcnt or of acts of violence against the government or it's employees or agents while in the discharge of their official duties.
 The measure would prohibit writ ings or teachings which constitute se- dition. The bill says that whoever with intent to levy War against the United States or to cause the change, overthrow or destruction of the gov ernment or any of the laws or au- thority thereof or to cause the over throw or destruction of all forms of law or organized government or to oppose, prevent, hinder or delay exc cution of any law of the United States government or of any officers. agents or employees or his public duty, commits or attempts or threatens to commit any act of force against any person or any property or any act oI terrorism. hate, revenge or injury against the person or property of any officcr, agent or employe of the United States shall be deemed guilty of scdition.
 Provides Death Penalty.
 The Graham bill provides the death penalty in cases of loss of life due to active violence against the govern ment and these provisions have been attacked as too severe. The Sterling bill has been assailed on the ground that it would set up press censorship in peace time and for other reasons.
 Mr. Palmer did not appear before the committee in person as had been expected His letter was read after Samuel Gonnpers. president of the American Federation of Labor had vigorously assailed the Sterling and Graham. measures, which. he declar ed, would cypress all classes of labor and stifie any move to change the con- stitution.
 Even moral forct such as organlza- tion by orderly mass meetings he said, would be punishable.
 "I oppose all activities of the so- called reds he said, and there is no one who is so opposed to these peo- pie.
 "Standpatters. reactioHaries and fools in congress may hate me. but none hate me or Nilify me as those people whose activities have been branded as red
 What do you mean by fools in congress o'' Chairman Campbell asked.
 1T am afraid I would be guilty of lese maieste' if I mentioned any names" Compers replied.

Nitti Speaks.

Paris, Jan. 22.-Italy will demand of France and England the carrying out of the treaty of London only when all other means Of settling the Adriatic, question have been tried and found futile, according to a statement made by Premier Nitti to a represen- tative of Echo de Paris. The corres- pendent accompanied the Italian pre- mier from this city to Nice and was told by Signor Nitti that his trip to Rome was brought solely by the rail- road strike in Italy.

Not Satisfied.

"Th2 reply of the JueC Slav govcrn- mcnt to the note Of the supreme coun- cil relative to conflicting claims on the eastern shores of the Adriatic does not satisfy us,' the premier is quoted as saying, "but we have gone to the extreme limit in making con- sessions. The world should realize that for the sake of Plume we re- nounce Dalmatia, which was given to Hs by the pact of London. We hope that. after a few days further rehec- dion, the Jugo-Slavs will send an ac- ceptable answer. This new people is in the course of formation and the exaggerated impulsivenes9 character istic of youth is naturally present but VIC are anxious to consider the Jugo~ Slavs friends. They and we occupy the greater part of the Adriatic coast and have mutual interests wish to facilitate these relations. We will find an agreement. It must be found. We will demand execution of the London pact only at the last eX- tremity.'
 Premier Nitti expects to return to Paris soon to resume his work in the peace conference.

TWO COMPLAINTS OF
 OIL STOCK SALES
States Attorney General Healy
 Will Investigate Complaints ONE FILED BY C. OF C. HEAD
Newspaper Advertisements of Oil Stock Were Not Licensed. It Is AL Hartford Man.

Hartford. Jan. 22.-TWo complaints against persons in Conn ecticut who are alleged to have sold oil stocks to investors in the state have been filed with Attorney General Hea1y by Bank Commissioner Everett J. Stur- ges. One of these was presented to the bank comm SSOner personality; the other through Secretary William Mead of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce.
 Attorney Gen. Healy told MT. Sur ges Wednesday that newspaper ad- vertisements to sell stock of oil com : panies not licensed constitute a breach of the law and asked the bank commissioner to furnish him with complete copies of papers carrying the advertisements. The bank com- missioner is not required. the at torney general said, to hunt out the newspaper advertisements but II the papers were presented to him he should send them to the attorney general.
 Attorney General Rules.
 No license is required to sell bonds of an oil or mining company, the attorney general ruled, provided there is no bonus of stock. The attorney general put in the hands of the state police the data from the bank con- missioner and ordered them to 1nves- tigate tho matter.
 The bank commissioner said this morning that the complaint made to him personally was of such nature that he could not give out the names of the parties That made throu ugh Mr. Mead was preferred by A. D. McFarlane of 429 Main street against the Shekomeko Oil Co.,, which. he said. sold him 1000 shares of It's stock at ten cents 9 share.
 The Shekomeko Co. is controlled by Hartford men. NJ. s. Tracy. secre- tary of the company, this morning de- nied the com pany had done anything illegal He said McFarlane knew what he was about when he bought the stock end that he was assured cit was a mere gamble"
 The secretary admitted that no had been made for per mission to sell the stock of the com panN.

Ernest Hopkins, of Dartmouth Arraigns Palmer For Anti Radical Activities Charges Politics Motive
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
 GRAVELY THREATENED

Hartford, Jan. 22.-In an address at the dinner of the Dartmouth club of Hartford at the University club kins of Dartmouth college declared that the present activity against alien radicals in this country is pure ly political by-play to enhance the political separations of the attorney general
 Dr. Hopkins arraigned the govern ment campaign against Bolshevists and other radicals and supplemented It with bitter criticism of the policy of the United States toward Russia.
 Certain people," he said, "are at tempting to make a reputation for conservatism. As a result their cen sorship and propaganda have been actively at work to such an extent that freedom of thought and speech such as the Constitution of the United States expressly guarantees, are inn possible"
 Period of Censorship.
 President Hopkins declares that many of the war powers granted the government were still being exercised and that the country was living in q pG1Iou Ol CSuSOFSn1D. I nave every reason to Believe, although I cannot prove it. that letters sent me from Russia have been withheld, and I am very sure also that letters to oth- CTS have not been deliveredr Men who have come back from Russia have said that the Allied blockade is starving hundreds of Russians who have nothing to do with the soviet government. England has had her eyes opened in this matter before the United States.'
 People returning from Russia say there are untold food stores there awaiting the lifting of the ban." said pr. Hopkins. Referring to arrest of alleged "reds,'' the speaker said:
 Raids on these alien subjects have been made under the guise of ridding the country of people who do not ap- preciate free government The spirit behind the arrest of these aliens is somewhat the same as that which produced the know nothing party and the attack on fraternal organizations"
 Political By-play.
 President Hopkins asserted that it was the prevalent belief among dem ocrats that the raids and deporta- tions had been made largely to en- nance the political aspirations of the attorney general. He said it was all simply political by-play
 We seem to be having extreme harshness to cover up a record of eX- treme leniency'' he said. There should have been lots of it earlier and less of it now. People talking on street corners just to hear themselves talk are not proper subjects for de- portation. Where the country gets rid by this policy of one man who may be dangerous it creates a hun dred more" the speaker declared. If this sort of thing had happened in 1857 Hawthorne and Thoreau would probably have been arrested and all of the Shaker colonies dcported. The proposed sedition act would have kept Carl Schurz out of the coun- try
 President Hopkins said that in his opinion the late war was being fol- lowed by an attack on economic ab solutsm which he believed was in force in this country.

 ing Smoker.

Boston. Jan. 22.-Patrolman Will liam G. Clancy, a member of the newly organized police force and vet eran of the 26th (Yankee) Division, was shot and killed early today as he was entering a dance hall in Cha rles- town to quell a disturbance.

The police held 300 dancers, women and men, for several hours examination, eventua l. ly detaining four men for further in quiry. but it was said they believed the man who shot the officer had escaped.
 Former Soldier.
 Officer Clancy, who previously was q member of Princess Pats Canadian regiment, gained decorations for bravery in action. He went to the center of the dance floor to admonisl man who had disobeyed his order to stop smoking. The dancers swirled about them and broke step in dis order as Clancy staggered toward the door. The officer collapsed and it de- veloped that he had been shot before he left the dancing throng. a small pool of blood marking the spot.
 Patrolman Antonio de France. who was present as guest, drew his re- Volver and held the crowd back from the door. Many, however, fled by rear exit and by fire escapes, CIancy's assailant probably among them. The revolver which he used was found be- hind a radiator in a part of the hall opposite the door near which Clancy fell,
