HAVE TALKED ON PEACE TREATY
 EIGHT MONTHS

The statesmen at Washington have now talked eight months agout the peace treaty. The people have had no chance to do much talking that can be heard at Washington. But that does not mean that they are not interested. On the contrary a sen timent of deep indignation is mani fested that the world settlement has been held up so long.
 Europe is on the verge of anarchy, as it struggles with hunger and de spair. America is the dominating factor, and nothing can be done until America is willing to act. Every thing waits the pleasure of America, who dallies while statesmen Quib- ble.
 If the people could get a chance te act on this question, they would set. tie it very promptly, and on basis making for world peace and assuring the safety of America
 The great majority of the American people want some kind Of a League oi Nations. They believe that it takes united action to get things done in this world. They do not see how peace can be secured unless some kind of organization is formed through which the nations can ac together. At the same time they do not propose to sacrifice the inde' pendent rights of this country. They | do not intend to have any American army ordered into Europe by { League of Nations, without the ful
 and free consent and approval of th'
 representatives of the American peo- l pie.
 If this peace treaty becomes an is l sue in the coming campaign, it is al
 issue that will cut very deep anC wide. Those. who have been quibblin: | over trif1ing differences, who hav' i thwarted the desire of the people fo prompt action, or who have failed | to protect the right of the Unftet
 States to maintain it's own independ
 ent rights under all circumstances will find themselves marked fo slaughter

IS TAKEN FOR A
 MOTOR RIDE Leaves White House Grounds First Time
 Since October.

Washington, March 3 - President Wilson went for motor ride today, leaving the White House grounds for the first time since he was ordered to bed last October, "a very sick man." by Admiral Grayson, his physician
 The President was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, Dr. Grayson and Secret Service men, and took a spin around the speedway" along the Potomac A closed car was used and the party left through the southwest gate. Pho- tographers who had waited several wooks for the Presidents reappear- ance in public were prohibited by the police from taking photographs.
 Almost ideal weather prevailed for the Presidents ride, the day being as balmy as one in late spring with only a gentle wind stirring. The car was kept closed throughout the trip, how ever. The President sat in the rear seat with Mrs. Wilson and kept his cap iR his hand most of the time.

Argument
 On Relief
 Measures
House Committee Rules Out Criticisms of
 Organizations.
HALE FAVORS
 MORGAN BILL

Washington, March 3-An- other row occurred today at hearings before the House Ways and Means Committee on soldier relief measures. Ii came when Edward H. Hale, representing veterans of for eign wars, told the committee that statements made yester- day by Franklin D'Olier, com mander of the American Le- zion, were erroneous and should be contradicted." A storm of protests resulted but Chairman Fordney restored quiet by warning that unless order could be
 maintained i've will quit these hear ings."
 Representative Treadway, Republi- can, Massachusetts, said the commit
 tee should not permit criticism of the American Legion adding that levi dent rivalry exists between associa- tions"
 Criticisms must be permitted if we get anywhere" interjected Represen. tative Garner, Democrat, Texas. 1 After five minutes of wrangline | among members, during which severa started to leave, Chairman F'ordneJ 1 ruled that witnesses should not criti | cize other organizations.
 Hale urged passage of bill author l 1zlng relief to discharged service mer at the rate of 80 a month instead o1 $50, with an additional grant of $1Ot to those who served overseas. He also favored passage of the Morgan bill ] which would give service men the op- ! ton of selecting homesteads. l How could the money be raised fol this bonus?" asked Representativt | Kitchin, Democrat, North Carolina i There is a public debt of $26, 900 900, ,OO
 now.''
 Our plan," said Hale, would be tC I tax all incomes above $50,O 900 at thu
 rate of 2 per cent, graduating tha
 until ' per cent. would be charged or
 incomes above $1,OO0,OOO This wouIt
 provide s2oo,ooo.oOO according to thu i internal revenue bureau"
 1 Some of the alleged economic l practiced by this congress are
 crime,' the witness said, whereupol | MT. Kitcl1in remarked that +'th | economies of this Republican con l gress surely is a crime.'' l Hale said Hip appreciation an nothing more'' had been extended t
 disch arged soldiers.
 These men," he declared, "hav | been turned back to civilian life wit
 sixty pieces of silver and they hay l been brought face to face with tn | ingratitude of the republic. Tn
 only wonder is that they have stoo
 so long the apathetic attitude of con l gress.''
 Members of congress received bac, pay when they were discharged fror | the army and returned to the house he said, adding that others wer
 equally as deserving as ex-soldie 1 congressman.

CHANGE TO GET STOCK RETURN
 FIFTY-FIFTY
Oil Companies Are That Percentage Specula
 tiOn.

Hartford, March 3-The chances of getting return on investment in oil stocks under the favorable circCm- stances are only ffty-ffty Bank Com missioner Everett J. Sturges warned the public today in issuing the first permits under the state law which re- quires that mining and oil companies which wish to sell their stock in Con- necticut must get permission from the bank commissioner. The two com panies granted licenses have wells iu Kentucky and Texas
 MT. Sturges' action followed a re, port to him by Major John N. Brooks of Torrington, his special investiga' tor, who made tour of the south western oil fields for the purpose ot satisfying the bank commissioner as to- the general status of oil compan ies and particularly of the two com panies which were granted permits today.
 '"The permits issued these compan" ies are in no sense a guarantee that their stock will pay dividends" the bank commissioner asserted, in telling of his action, Major Brooks found that at the very best, oil companies are a fifty per cent. speculation, and we want the public fully advised Of this fact''

ExECUTOR HAS STARTED SUIT
 FOR DAMAGES
Seeks to Recover $1O,000 For Death of Edgar
 Wilson.

To recover damages for the death of Edgar Wilson, who was struck by a troIley. car on Brooklawn avenue and fatally injured, David F. Os- borne, exeeutor on the Wilson es- tate, appeared before Judge Keele1 and a jury in the Superior Court this afternoon to prosecute his $10,O0o suit against the Connecticut Go. Ii is expected that the trial will con- tinue for two days.
 Wilson is said to have been old and feeble. On the night in February 1919. when he met his death he had been visiting at the home of William Graham on Beechwood avenue. He started to walk to his home, which was in the Brooklawn section beyond the Country club. It is claimed by the Connecticut Go. that Wilson was walking on the track at the time ne was struck by the car.
 At the time Coroner Phelan con- ducted an inquest in the case it was impossible to find anybody who knew how the old man happened to be ir the road at the time of the fatal ity.

FENWAY PARK
 SALE IS PUT OFF A WEEK

Boston, March 3.---SaIe of Conway Park, home grounds of the Boston American League baseball club, which was advertised to be held at auction today, was postponed a week as a re- suit of court proceedings brought by President H. H. F.razee. Subsequently F'razee said his differences with for mer President J. J. Lannin probably would be settled out of court within a day or two.
 Lannin claims that Frazee has failed to meet a note for $262, 600 given as payment for the club. When Frazee was heard in court today on a bill in equity to prevent the sale of the grounds to satisfy this claim, the court suggested postponement of the sale. and Frazee agreed to deposit $25o, 900 as security.
 President F'razee dismissed as un- founded rumors that deal for a sale of the club to local interests was pending

FREIGHT CAR
 SUPPLY SHORT ALL OVER WORLD

Freight cars simply do not exist in are lacking for exactly the same req son that keeps housing from being up to requirements. During the war new houses and new railroad cars did not receive their proportionate share of attention.
 Our railroad administration acknow1- edges that acquisition of freight cars during federal control was less than under private control, and that none at all were ordered in 1919. Even if there were adequate equip ment in cars, it would be tested; traf- f1c is heavy.
 The railroad administration an- nounced that a week in January, 1926 showed 162, 600 more cars of freight i loaded than the corresponding week in 1919, and 216,0O0 more cars than fo1 the corresponding week in 1918. Scarcity in freight cars is a world wide condition. Germany Austria France and England join us in longing for freight cars.
 | In England the railway wagon shortage is one of the real themes o1 1 the hour among business men, and i seems likely that demurrage rates vii be assessed as high as s7.5O a day fol folk who detain a freight car of z special type.
 As for ourselves, the immediate prospect is for a congressional inves | tigation. It will be interesting to se' which will be the more effacious il making freight cars availafble--a heav! demurrage levy or an investigation.

COST NATzKE S1,75O TO JILT
 MISS MARTIN
Jury Awards Young Wo- man Verdict As Heart
 Balm.

Nora c. Martin of 1862 Kossuth street, who claimed she was tilted by Alfred G. Natzke of Capitol avenue, after long and ardent courtship, was awarded $1,750 damages by a jury in the superior court this after noon. Miss Martin. who is young and attractive, smiled happily when the verdict was announced. She left the
 courtroom with a girl friend after re-
 ceiVlng the congratulations of her
 friends and shaking hands with her
 counsel, Attorney Albert J. Merritt
 Natzke looked rather glum when
 he heard the bad news from the jury. He left the courtroom in company | with his father but as Miss Martin had already gone there was no chance | of an embarrassing encounter. Natzke married Miss Margaret Maloney il 1 June, 1919, after he ceased his atten- | tions to Miss Martin. Mrs. Natzke is 1 in the hospital at the present time re- covering from an operation following 1 the birth of a child.
 The jury was out about one houl l before returning verdict. The taking | of testimony was completed yesterday | afternoon and Judge Keeler delivered
 his charge to the jury this morning | Natzke's version of the affair was thar | he was never engaged to marry Miss
 Martin. He admitted he called ire l quently upon her and had taken hel | to many places of entertainment. Ht
 said their relationship was never more l than friendly, however. On Febru
 ary 8, 1919, he said he told Miss Mar. l tin that he would not see her an! more because he had found another ] girl he liked better. Miss Martin ask I ed for $1Q,00O damages.

GOVT NOW READY ID SELL BIG HOG
 ISLAND SHEPPARD
Payne An nounces Title to Yard Site Cleared by Pay ment of S1,757,OOO- Use As Shipping Ter minal Suggested.

Washington, March 3-The shipping board is ready to sell Hog Island, the great fabricat- ing shipyard built during the war. Chairman Payne an nounced today that title to the yard site had been perfected by payment of $1,757,00O to the American International Ship building Company, which own ed the land, and that he was ready to receive tenders for the property.
 Purchase of the yard by the state of Pennsylvania or the city of Phi1a- delphia for use as a shipping terminal, has been suggested.
 Study of the property was begun today with particular reference to supplies of steel and machinery and other equipment. Fabric and en- g-nes adequate for the construction of 16 ships are ready for imm ediate sale, it was said, and with other sur plus materials may be offered separ- ately.
 As the last ship laid down at Hog Island will not be launched until about September 15, the yard cannot be actually turned over before that date. A tentative proposition has been made by the American International Shipbuilding Corporation that the talk ing over of the yard be progressive, the Shipping Board taking possession of each series of ways as cleared and Of each lot of material as inventories and checking are completed The terms of sale, officials said, had not been decided.

COMMISSIONER
 AWARDS MORE
 COMPENSATION

Frank Bush was awarded additional compensation for 104 weeks at the rate of $1O a week on account of injuries which he received on August g, 1913, while employed by the Pembroke Laundry company.
 Bush has already received s10 a week from the date of the injury. He re- queSted the commissioner to award him a lump sum to cover his future disability and expenses for medical services.
 It appeared from the medical testi mony that Bush had developed neu- rasthenic tendencies as a result of his injury and that no further medical treatment would be of any benefit to him.
 The doctors testified that it would be at least a year before he would be able to use his back and that after that period he would always expert ence some pain when he used the muscles of his back.
 Bush was injured while lifting a heavy receptacle containing laundry.
