WOULD NOT SUPPORT
 LABOR PARTY

Hartford. Conn.,, Feb. 11.---'Iaibor is not ready for concerted action as 8 separate party and I therefore be- lieve that the state body of organized labor will support the program of the National Federation of Labor in SUD- porting the party which shall insert in it's platform the blanks that afffl- iated labor desires,' said P. E. O'Meara of New Haven, president of the Connecticut State Federation of Labor, today in commenting on the announcement recently by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, that the federa- ton would ask that its program be inserted in a party platform.
 q do not believe" he said, "that labor can indorse the labor party or that the majority of wage earners will support such a party. The wage earners of this country are not yet in such a position that they can best obtain the result they desire through a separate party and think that they should support either one of the es- tablished parties or some new party that may be organized in the interval between this time and the presidential elections

KAISER MIGHT
 ENJOY LIVING
 IN PALEMbANC
Proposed Exile Described As East Indian
 Venice.

~An East Indian Venice-gay, dirty, swarming with life and lu1nin- ous with sunlight is how a traveller describes Pa1embang in the, Dutch East Indian island of Sunatra, where the Allies propose to exile the Kaiser. The encyclopaedia com ments laconieally: Thunder storms and water Spouts occur frequently, and earthquakes now and then" The Royal Packet Lines guide to the island solemnly advises the pros pective gentleman visitor to take along "at least twenty-four shirts of very thin flannel nate1Aal.' It is not cool in Palenbang. only degrees south of the equator
 PaIembang is the name of a prov ince and city on the south coast of Sumatra. The province has 796,354 inhabitants and the city has 6o,9S5, of which scarcely more than 500 are Europeans. This distant St. Helena -or is it to be an Elba only y?-to which Dutch batt1eship is said to be ready to bear off William II, the moment the Allies show their teeth, was once a celebrated Malayan su1- tanate, whose rulers twice drove the Dutch out of their territory before the rich pepper and oil concessions finally had been grasped by the per sistent NetherIanders.
 The city of Palembang is built along the Musi River. It is even built in the river. its Arabs, Chinese, Hindus and Malays dwelling in houses perched on stiIts or resting on large rafts. Perhaps the 'tman without a country has chosen Pal
 
 venience of living ill a house with which he can move on'' every time an allied policeman shows up.
 Amonk the flooded lowlands that will help to remind him of the Flanders fields where he sent his young men to die, the Kaiser, who makes a virtue of doing in Rome as the Romans do, who was a Moham- medan to Constantinople and a de- fender of Christianity to Jerusalem, will play at being an East Indian, l perhaps even at being a Sultan. He will chop wood, even if he rises al 1 5:30 a. m., to do it in the cool ot l the morning, as it is not cool in the morning in Palembang. He will not need the tip of the guide to the ef- 1 feet that ''the frock coat (without l lining) is only worn when paying 1 formal visits. the dress coat onlg at great parties, audiences, balls l etc., Palembang is used to beact combers, and does not invite visitor. to their "great parties, audiences I balls etc.,
 l Perhaps William IT. will gathe, 1 together the proceeds of what prop ! erty is saved to him from the crasf and take f1ier in oil. The oil con
 sessions in Palembang yield abou 75,00O,000 gallons annually. Being al oil king is something, after all. ana one always can collect royalties ever if one cannot honnob with them.

TWO BURGLARS
 BOUND OVER
 TO HIGH COURT

Greenwich, Conn, Feb. Il - John Kelly and Lawrence Macaraco were held in $7,000 each for the Fairfield county superior court today on the charge of burglary. The prosecuting attorney in asking for such heavy bonds pointed out that there have been many burglaries in Greenwich recently, and few nights ago a storekeeper was murdered by men who were intent upon robbery in a store in Portchester.
 The specific charges against the two men were that Sunday night they broke into and stole from the stores of Charles E. Merritt, shoe dealer, and the restaurant of Edward Shee- ran, and tried to get into the store of the Greenwich Hardware Company, all in the business section. The prose- cution had 27 witnesses in court, and officers came from Portche ester to look at the men.

LIFE SAVING AIOFT.

Several inventors are at work on life saving devices for air craft. Air travel is so new that little attention has been paid so far to providing some means of escape in case of accident The first airship to be equipped was the R-34, the great dirigible which twice crossed the Atlantic. She car ried parachutes conveniently placed on her 'fcat waIk'' for every passen- ger. The latest forms of parachlttes are practically 100 per cent. efficient. It has been found that one travels 15 feet a second before the parachute opens, when the pull in the check which follows is 900 pounds. The new parachutes will have shock obsfrbers. In a few years aircraft will probably have to carry parachutes for all on board just as steamers now carry life boats.
