Suggestions Asked For
 Worlds Fair Exhibits
Connecticut Preparing for Participation in Great
 Spectacle Original Idea Sought By Committee

at the New York Worlds Fair was voiced today by Henry R. Shepley, chairman of the New England Coun cil's advisory committee of archti- tects.
 The executive committee. of the six New England state commissions on the Worlds Fair, at a recent meet ing, voted unanimously to sponsor a joint New England regional ex- hibit rather than separate state ex- hibitS at the fair. It also requested the New England Councils advisory committee of architects to submit tentative plans and suggestions for the consideration of the state corl1- missions.
 Seek Suggestions
 In letter to Dudley Harmon, executive vice-president of the Council, Chairman Shepley made known the plan by which the people of New England may contribute to the plan for New England exhibit, and said:
 "As chairman of the New Eng land Councils advisory committee of architects with respect to New England participation in the New York Worlds Fair, 1899, I desire to say that our committee will gladly lend such assistance as we can in response to the request of the executive committee of the New England state commissions on the Worlds Fair, that we submit, as soon as possible, suggestions for a suitable building to house the pro- posed joint New England exhibit at the exposition. AS you know, our committee is thoroughly in sympathy with the idea of joint New England participation in the New York Worlds Fair, and we appreciate the confidence expressed in us by the executive committee representing the six states.
 T am immediately asking the other members of our committee to submit their ideas as promptly as possible. May I also propose, how ever, that suggestions be invited not merely from the members of our committee, but from others as well. We have in New England a wealth of technical experience and crea- tive imagination, and I think the way should be open for every citi- zen, as well as members of the architectural profession, to submit ideas and suggestions as to how New England can best present its resources, it's advantages and it's achievements to the fifty million people who are expected to attend the New York Worlds Fair.
 "The members of the committee and myself feel that the proposed joint New England exhibit at the New Yorks World Fair affords an exceptional opportunity for all who are interested in the advancement of New England to join forces to- gether and make the best possible showing for our region. Once a suitable plan has been determined upon, I feel confident the citizens of New England will, by their CO., operation, demonstrate once more that what New England undertakes to do, it does we'll"
 S250,O00 Fund
 The executive committee of the six New England states worlds fair commissions anticipates that a fund of $25O,000 will be available for the New England exhibit. Ap- proximately $150,0OO will be avail able for the construction of the building to house the exhibits. while the remainder will be needed for maintenance and exhibits.

MENTAL PATIENTS
 ROAMING AT WILL

Boston, Feb. 8-(UP)-Governor Hurley today considered petition of 73 residents of Medfield, Dover and Sherborn charging that men, tai patients from Medfield state hospital roam at will, stone pedes- trians and motorists and attempt to break into homes.
 The petition was filed late yester- day even as two Medfield inmates were captured in South Natick after escaping allegedly with a key im- proviSed of wire.
 The patients, James Hill, IT, of Birmingham and Morris BogusS, 25, of Maiden, battled two hospital at tendants and two policemen in Ma tick police headquarters rather than return to the Medfield institution, where wardmate killed two other patients a fortnight ago.
 It was Hills third escape. Twice he had hiked along railroad tracks to his parents home in Framing ham. Last night he persuaded Bo- gusS to join him. The two finally were returned to Medfield after re- peated tuSsles in which one police man suffered cut lip.

GIRL PALS FACE
 MURDER TRIAL

Newark, N. J., Feb. 8.-(UP)- Mannish, 20-year-old Mrs. Ethel (Bunny) Sohl and her reformatory pal, Genevieve (Chippy) Owens, IT, fought for life in court today as the state demanded the death pen alty for the hold-up staying of Will liam Barhorst, a bus driver, that netted them $210. Essex County Prosecutor William A. Wachenfeld rejected a surprise offer by Mrs. Sohl's attorney to enter plea of guilty to second-degree murder which would entail a penalty of 10 to 20 years in prison.
 "ThiS is murder in the first de- gree, and it admits of no comprom- ise," Wachenfeld said.
 Mrs. Sohl, her straight muddy" blonde hair cut in severe mannish style, sat with eyes downcast as the prosecutor demanded two lives for one. Miss Owens, whose attorney contended that she had been dom- mated by Mrs. Sohl, alternately wept and smiled.

Shihchiachuang literally means Stone Home Village. It is not walled city and owes its import ance solely to the fact that the French, instead of putting the terminus of the railway from Taiyuan at Chengting, 14 miles up the line, suddenly decided to put it here. AS the junction of the Peiping -Hankow railway and the narrow gauge railway to Taiyuan, it offers the only access from the east into Shansi province. A new military road has been constructed over to Tsangchow on the east.
 There are no troops coming into the city in the daytime. We have been given to understand that all troops are being moved at night. I suppose the reason being to keep it a secret from the Japanese. Troops are just being moved here in dribbleS and that if the authori- ties were activated by any serious intentions or planned determined fight, they'd surely do better than this.
 Most of the troops coming through are raggedly equipped and are not very good specimens of soldiers. And 1t certainly is true there is a difference between the way the Japanese are pouring trainloads of mechanical units into Tinetsin and the way joblots are dribbling through this section. How ever, am not convinced that the Chinese do not intend to fight. Despite the silly child's play they are indulging in, I think it per- fectly possible that they are serious, though certainly not very effi- cient.
 I was shown a copy of a letter supposed to have been seized from a Japanese spy in Shansi. Accord ing to this letter, which was writ ten before the Lukouchiao Inci- dent, the Japanese were scheduled to create an incident in North China. The letter stated because of the growing unity of the Chi nese nation and the increasing influence of the Nanking Govern ment in the North and the grow ing anti-Japanese sentiment con- bined with the failure to secure economic cooperation. the Japa- nese must start this incident.
 But what comes after the incl dent is what provides the bang.
 A series of incidents will take place all over China. Shanghai will be attacked. something will hap pen in the Yangtze Valley = per- haps an incident in Hankow, Canton will be bombarded and a definite drive made toward Man. king. Attention will be diverted from the north, but the main push will take place there.
 I tried to send some troop dis positions to my office for it's in formation only, but my telegram, while not officially censored, was handed to the chief of police who in turn handed it to the head quarters of the district military.

The chief was quite apologetic about it when I called on him and I pointed out that my telegram had been mistakenly translated in many places.
 I saw Gen. Wan F'u-Lin, com mander of the 53rd Army. He's fat and waddles, and is typically old-style Mandarin with the gen. tie courtesy and handlebar mus tache.
 When asked about his division numbers, he didn't know and had to ask one of his subordinates. He says the Japanese took away his beloved Heilungkiang up Man chruia way in 1881 and of course he wants to fight.
