,NEW JERSEY ASKS SUPREME
 COURT 70 DECLARE DRYLAW AND NOLS7EAD ACT ILLEGAL
NY. ASSEMBLYMEN ARE
 BITTERLY ARRAIGNED
Prosecution Declares They Will Suffer For Social
 istic Activities.

Albany, N. Y, March 4-The five socialist assemblymen of New York state who have been under investiga- tion by the assembly judiciary com- m1ttee on charges of disloya1ty will suffer for the official announcements declarations and platforms of the so- cialist party of America as declared in the official statements of that party and for their undoubted parti- cipation in disloyaI and treasona ble conduct Martin Conboy summing up for committee counsel declared today.
 In a bitter arraignment of the so- cialist party MT. Conroy declared that the world war was a rude blow to the aspirations of the second inter- nationale but the socialist party of Am erica put it's allegiance to the principles of internationalisn above its allegiance to the United States of merica. It's members were true to their faith and were not led away by the false doctrines of national pa triotism but steadily maintained and upheld the ideals of international working class solidarity and called upon the workers of the United States to refuse to support this governm ent in the war.
 Continuing, he declared that i've are therefore confronted at this day and by virtue of these recent events and facts with the necessity for de- termining how we shall treat this group of persons who are in the United State; tut not of it: who, while accepting the benefits of our laws and institutions and the sacri- fees of blood and treasure given to support them refuse their support to them; who take all they can get. but will not give a life or a dollar to pre- serve. defend and perpetUate the gov ernment that is their sole and only guaranty of life. liberty, property and tine pursuit of happiness.
 .Tt is.' he said. the first time since 1861 that notice has been plain ly and explicitly served upon the gov ernment of the United States by a group of men residing within it's bor- ders that they will not support or de- fend it but that on the contrary they will by all means in their power ob- struct and resist in it's efforts to main tain in time of stress it's national honor and eXistence"

Chicago. March 4-The worst storm ot the winter today swept eastward from the mountain and plains states, where yesterday it reached blizzard proportions A number of towns in Colorado, Nebraska and South Da- kota were reported isolated and rail and wire communication in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, North Texas and Minnesota was seri- ously crippled.
 The disturbance will spread rapidly east and south today and tonight, ac- cording to weather bureau forecasts, carrying sharply reduced tempera lures with snow and rain.
 Most of the interference with rail- road traffic reported early today was in the mountain states and South Da- kota and Minnesota while telegraph and telephone lines suffered badly from sleet in the other sections hit by. the storm. In the mountains damage to railroads from slides and boulders toppling over on the tracks could not be estimated, railroad men said.

THREATENED KINGS LIFE
At Today's Trial of CaiIlaux Story Is Told of How He Caused Trouble With Spain in 1911.

Paris, March 4.-Today'S session of the trial of former Premier Joseph Caillaux before the senate, sitting as a high court, on the charge of having had reasonable dealings with the enemy brought out an alleged threat by NJ. CaillauX against the life of King Alfonzo of Spain at the time the landing of German troops at Agadir, Morocco, led to grave inter- national implications in 1911.
 William Martin, former chief of protocol at the foreign office, related a conversation he had with King Afonzo on January 31, 1912. The king. according to NJ. Martin, de- clared that at the time of the Agadir incident, CaillauX sent an emissary to him threatening him with death. M Martin testified that King :Alfonzo said he was not afraid of M Caillaux's g threat, but had made a note of it and left a copy in a vault so that if any thing happened the truth would be known.
 M. CaiIlaux denied that there was any truth in the story and asked the court to allow him to produce couu- ter-proofs at a private sitting of the court.
