Wliile President Wilson was considering today the latest note of tha allied premiers on the Adriatic controversy, sharp criticism of the executive's course in the negotiation! broke out in the midst of the peace treaty debate in the Senate.

Not only the irreconcilable opponents of t'le treaty but one of the mild reservation republicans. Senator Kellogg' of Mime sota Joined In the Senate attack which occupied a good part of the day's session to the exclusion of the pending reservation affecting an entirely different part ot the treaty. A general defense of thu President waa made Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the administration leader. Senator Brandegee of Connecticut said: "The of Nations is fulminating over and our allies and their associates have come to a ittln dirTasunA rim 1 an And an the papers, ne continued, are lllled with the remarks of Lloyd George and Millerand and our President as is about agreements broken, bad faith displayed, and everything else, just when the President has been assuring us that a new day has dawned, and nations of the world are no lonprer justified in viewing each otnei with sosnicioii. because thev have come to be moved exclusively by philanthropy, charity, pure altruism and the like, not to mention i-ersia and Syria.

"Well, they wheezed a few timea when they got that." Senator Shields, democrat. Tennessee, asked how far Senator Brandegee thought the United States should enter a controversy "concerning a few LaKoes over on the Adriatic' "Yes. he can't have hia way about a red ink the map of Europe," resumed Senator Brandegee. "and the first difference of opinion he aay the league can go hang for all of him.

He told us that the heart of the world would be broken if we didn't jump right in. 'The Amirican people, believe, are absolutely ignorant ofthe technical embraced in the Fiume controversy. We are pretty Intimate with each other fin thia aerate, and yet no man ltving can say how the aenste would vote on any part of the question if It were ubmitte4 here for arbitration. "Yet here's a voice, heard in London, Paris, and Rome, speaking with the maximum of assurances, not to say eocksureness. aa to; wbat America thinks." Senator Rrnndegee termed the notes as "uplift talk" couched in a diplomatic "vernacular" understood bv "hands across the sea," and said the controversy only illustrated how little self-determination really would have to du with decisions under the lesgue.

"If Jugo-Slavla does not accept the eoncusions of these pentlemen who are writing state papers to one another," he said, 'nho Jupo-Slavia had better look out. That's all there is t. it. and that's all there Is to this treaty. Those Leap Year Btrtbdnys.

Eabcock said yesterday that the mails were arriving and leaving on the main routes with little variation from normal schedules. On the branch lines, however, mail was entirely off schedule, he said. He cited the cases of those towns along the Central New England railway from which no mail has been received since February 25, because of the total annulment of train service. Hs said that Winsted was the exception since mail from that town was carried by the "New Haven" road through Waterbury. The situation was improving he said and he thought that complete restoration might be ttiade by the first part ol the week-Three Coal Cnrs Arrive.

The actual amount of freight received yesterday according to the local freight agent of the "New Haven" railroad was eighttrn ears of vhih three were loaded with coal. The explanation given for the small freight urrivuis was that ail of the; locomotives which could possibly be spare! were in uso moving the pas- songer traffic. This leaves the freight service with a decided shortage of motive power for tlm time being. As soon as the snow is cleared enough allow free passage these locomotives will be restored to freight duty and normal freight service will be resumed, Thomas J. Kollcy the Manufac-, turprV Association of Hartford Couniy said that ns long as transportation waa retarded here would bo more shortage of products than in normal Times.

"1 nssume this tn he true." he said, 'becaustj 1 know that there is a great deal of When he was ankod if this storaire of products and consequent curtailment of shipments would cause any of the local manufacturers to cut down thfir working forces for the present, he said: do not know of a case where this plan has been thought of. I believe that the situation will right Itself with the arrival of warm weather and make it unnecessary for any of the factories to close down." Shipping tly RxprcKH. He said that he knew of several Instances where the shops were shipping their smaller products to the consumers by express and that in cases where the customer was nearby, delivery was being made by truck. Where a long haul called for, it was impossible to ship large products by either of these methods and consequently the manufacturers had resorted to the storage plun temporarily. Hay and Feed Dwindles.

Hay and feed have been cut to a minimum in this city by an increasing demand and a decreasing supply. Fodder which has ben due in the city for weeks has not yet appeared and in consequence thwe is grave doubt in the minds of owners ol animals as to the futuro. Many dealers report a limited supply ot fodders on hand with practically no additions in many weeks. Charles A. Pease of C.

A. Pease aid that his company had been told by the railroad that it had several carloads of teed in the freight yards some days ago but that it had not yet received shipment on its own siding. He said that there were two carloads of hay consigned to it which were forwarded from Springfield on February 4. according to advices from there. These two cars had not arrived in Hartford thus far, he said.

Other dealrra in the city had practically the same complaint to make about scant deliveries and delays in transit. Service to Springfield The Hartford 4c Springfield Street Railway remains on the inactive list as far as passenger traffic between the two cities is concerned but plows and shovellers are busily engaged in clearing both lines. wiukiuR' from the north. The workers on the cast side are using Kant Windsor Hill as their objective and from the Hartford end The tracks are being cleared to this point. On the West Side line conditions are so bad that it is thought that another week will be consumed in relieving the situation.

From the point in Windsor where the Springfield Itne branches off there is'j series of drifts, hard packed and icy. which extends all the way to Springfield. Through Suffieid there is little choice as to whether the Central New England Railway or the trolley company has the worst trouble to contend with. The Suffield-Windsor Locks branch of tho "New Haven" road is the only public conveyor in that section work ing. Of course the main line of the railroad copb through Windsor Eoeks but this is near the river and does not help the section further in, which depends on the trolleys.

Hartford Cnrs Nearly Normal. The troiley situation in this city was nearly normal yesterday, according to Warren P. Bristol, manager of the Hartford division of the Connecticut Company. There were two lines completely out of commission and one line held up by four motor trucks which were stalled in the car tracks. All other lines were operating nearly on schedule.

Dup to the press of work in clearing the citv lines and other suburban lines, the tracks to Woomfield, are -till covered with drifts which vary in depth from three to six feet of hard pacKea snow. mrs uu mis line are running only as far as Mt.
