" DEMOCRATIC MACHINE IS FLAYED BY FISHER “Candidate For Governor Says Or- ganization is Fighting Him. )}WES NOONDAY TALK HERE Says He and Gunshanan Will “Smoke Out” Tuberculosis Commission and ‘Warns Against Allowing Teeth to Be Drawn From Compensation Act. Professor Willard C. Fisher, the former Wesleyan university instruc- tor who is seeking the gubernatorial =nomination on the democratic ticket, made the charge at a noon talk at the corner of High and Myrtle streets today that the powers that be in the democratic party, the leaders, the machine, are opposing him. at every point and doing everything in their power to discourage his aspirations. “I find passive or active opposition -at every point,” he told the crowd. “They're trying to pull the same old . Zame. The organization is trying to i block me. ' What do they care for thé people? ' But believe me, I'm go- &) E | ing to get the nomination. Paste that where you can see it.” 2 “On what party?” asked one of his auditors. ¥ “On the democratic party,” was the reply. “It has been said in the press #that T am an ‘independent’ démocrat. That is not so. There is not a more regular democrat in North America than I am. My greatest trouble is that those who profess to be dem- ocrats are not democrats.” Will Smoke Out Commission. Professor Fisher lauded John Gun- shanan, former tuberculosis commis- wsioner who failed to be reappointed by Governor Baldwin. “But John Gunsharan has some- thing up his sleeve and I've got some- thing up my sleeve, too, and we're going to smoke out the tuberculosis commission. John: Gunshanan has made charges of dereliction against thé commission but they have re- mained unanswered.” % Professor Fisher knocked the con- vention method of choosing candi- dates. ‘“What do you see at a convention?” he asked. “A mob of delegates who don’t know who is going:to be nom- inated until the leaders get together and frame up a’ slate. Then. the Hdelegates m*flxa slate a perfunc- - ;toryo& The, speaker m!d he also stood for a 1aw which will call for the nom- .ination of state officers by petition. “Make the number of names nec- _essary to each petition large enough to keep the faddlsts off the ballot,” he said. ‘Workmen’s Compensation. The greater part of Professor ‘ Fisher's speech was devoted to the workmen’s compensation act of which he claims to be . the father. He charged that certain interests are ? planning to pull the teeth from the act. To his way of thinking the act has not enough teeth and he would give it a new set of molars and sharp tusks. Professor Fisher's speech on the act ..xollows' ‘Workmen’s Compensation. *“My position as to workmen’s com- pensation and the compensation law can need no great amount of explana- ! tion. Before there was any compen- . sdtion law in America I had a fair ‘ knowledge of the experience of other countries; and I became convinced that this new method of giving solace —~it is not properly compensation— for industrial injuries was one of the most beneficent developments in mod- ern life. In this belief I was one of the first, perhaps ql{ite ‘the first, pointedly to urge such a law for Con- necticut. At any rate, in the sum- < mver of 1910, at a meeting of the Hart- ford Central Labor union, I asked those present to cease working for mere changes in the conditions of em- ployers’ lability and to direct their every effort toward a compensation law, A “As a fuller knowledge of the world’s experience has deepened my “convictions, and as new experience has rendered ever better results, I have become more and more devoted to the advancement of this particular measure, both in Connecticut and else- where. In the legisiative session of 1911, as authorized representative of the Hartford Central Labor union, I rdfted and supported a bill which was made the basis of a unanimous - favorable report and was passed in #the senate, only to meet defeat In the house. In the session of 1913, “under the directions of the joint labor and judiciary committees, I drafted the present law. “My own conviction of the great merit of such a law has never wav- ered. And as nation after nation road, and state after state merica have enacted compensation laws, and as experience has thus ac- % wcumulated under the most varied con- ditions, the superiority of ‘this mod- :Y; ern way of giving solace for industrial | disabilities has been proved most con- ** clusively.

Washington, July 27.—The gravity] of the European situation was re- flected in an official dispatch from St, Petersburg today saying the Rus- sian minister of war had said he | considered war between Russia and 1 Austria almost inevitable. His statement was made after the Russian ministry had issued an of- ficial declaration that Russia was greatly disturbed and could not re- main indifferent in the crisis that haa arisen between Servia and Austria- ‘Hungary. Mobilization Order Confirmed. The order for the complete mobili- zation of the Russian army was con- firmed. President Wilson said today, in answer to inquiries whether the United States would try to bring about peace in Europe, that he had not considered the subject, but that the traditional policy of the United States was not to mix in European at- fairs. He intimated in the present crisis the United States could do noth- | ing. ‘Will Hold Conference. London, July 27.—It was reported today that Sir: Edward Grey, British foreign secretary, had made success- ful representations to Germany, Italy and France for a conference between the representatives of those countries in England on the Austro-Servian situation with a view to co-operative mediation. | The Italian and German ambassa- | dors here saw Sir Edward Grey this morning, with what result could not be definitely ascertained. Receives Italian Ambassador. The members of the foreign diplo- matic corps and officials of the British foreign office were early astir. Sir Bdward Grey, like Premier Asquith, cut short his week-end vacation and reached London early in the morning. After conferences with Winston Spen- cer Churchill, first lord of the admir- | {alty, and Premier Asquith, Sir Ed- ward received the Italian ambassador with whom he had a long talk. It is understood that an endeavor was made during this conference to avert a resort to arms by Austrla. Hungary and Servia. A serious view of the Austro-Ser- vian situation is taken here and ev- ery effort is being made by England, and her ambassadors to find some way out of the crisis. Many of Eng- land’s diplomatic representatives were on their summer vacations but hur- ried back at once to their posts. Stock Exchange Calm. The London stock exchange which opened half an hour earlier than usu- al, was comparatively calm at the opening, the opinion prevailing that war would be averted. The market however, soon became panicky, and upon thé arrival of the bulk of the brokers prices began to slump in all directions, the demoralization of Sat- urday being repeated. British consols, which opened nom- inally at 73 3-4, dropped to 73 and then by quick stages to 71 1-2, or nearly two below Saturday. German, Austrian and Russian bonds went down from one to two points, and practically the whole list followed the example. This was largely due to com- | pulsory liquidation on local and con- tinental account before the settlement which began for general securities today. Canadian Pacific was the great- est sufferer, the continent selling the stock which was offered at 176 1-2 or seven dollars below parity and a loss on the fortnight of something like $20. American Securities Fall, Several active American securities fell from $5 to $15, while Rio Tintos lost ten points and Grand Trunks from mree to eight points in the same period. TLombard street is acting very cau- tiously at present, three months’ pri- vate discounts being quoted nominal- 1y at the bank rate of three per cent. Wants Operations Suspended Sir Edward Grey has invited the governmients of Austria-Hungary, Servia and Russia to suspend opera- tions pending the result of his pro- pcsed mediatory conferences in Lon- don. His suggestion in regard to the conference is that the French, Ger- man and Ttalian ambassadors in Lon- don should confer with him in the endeavor to find a means. of solving the present difficulties. Sir Edward Grey late this afternoon had not received complete replies to his proposal. Fevorable to Mediation . Sir Edward Grey in announcing in the house of commons the steps = to be taken to_bring about mediation in the Austro-Servian controversy, said: “I understand that the German l (Continued on Tenth Page.)

Local Austrians are stirred to a deep pitch of patriotism by the news from Europe and are intensely in- terested in developments.

No One Injured When Italian Fires Revolver in Cherry Street Row. I Luckily no one was injured last night when an unknown Italian fired three shotg into a crowd which had collected in front of No. 52 Cherry street to watch the fight which was in progress. The trouble occurred shortly after 9 o’clock. According to the statement of neighbors a party of Italians came to visit some friends and during the eve- ning a row started. When the crowd gathered one man pulled his gun and fired three times, POINCARE CANCELS VISIT.

DIRECTS MEN MOVING GIRDER FROM HIS LEG Ankle Bone of George Baldwin, Ken- sington Expressman, Shattered By Heavy Stoel Beam. While suffering great pain, George H. Baldwin, a Kensington express- man, lay near the new garage being erected for W. W. Hanna on Main street, this morning, 'and directed workmen while they struggled to re- move a 1,600 pound steel girder which had fallen on his right leg when it was struck by his wagon, from which it had just been unload- | ed. After the heavy object had been removed, Baldwin was taken to the officec of Dr. D. W. O'Connell, who found that his ankle bone had been shattered and that he had sus- tained bad gashes and bruises about the calf of his leg and shin bone. 1 Miss Jennie Baldwin, a daughter of the injured man was standing nearby and witnessed the accident. She drove her father to his home after his injuries had been dressed by the physician. MAYOR HAS NEW SCHEME T0 DISPOSE OF SEWAGE Anticipates Good Results From Aerating Effluent From New Beds. Mayor George A. Quigley has evolved a plan by which, he is con- fident, the impending expenditure of thousands of dollars for installing a new sewage disposal plant at Berlin may be staved off for a few years. The plan is simple, but the mayor thinks it wil be efficacious and will bring results. The new idea is based on the re- cent installation of a new sewer bed composed of a layer of two-inch stone, a middle layer of one-inch stone and a top layer of gravel. This bed has given very satisfactory results ana the report of City Chemist M. W. Davenport shows it to be superior to ! the old beds. The effluent from the mew bed is much purer and clearer, the only drawback being the presence of considerable suspended matter. This effluent runs from the beds into a ditch which in turn empties into Mayor Quigley’s idea is to create this effluent by placing rocks in the ditch and by building a dam about a foot and a half high at the end of the ditch, The effuent Wwill be relieyed of much of the sus- pended matter when it dashes against the rocks and the finishing touch will be put on when it is cast over the dam. The action of the air on the effluent will remove the suspended matter and when it reaches Willow Brook it will be practically clear. To construct a bed such as that with which the experiment was made by Mayor Quigley costs approximate- ly $1,000. The mayor believes that the city’s sewage could be taken care of by about eighteen or twenty otJ these beds for several years. He realizes that the relief would be only temporary, but when the time comes for the city to install, a new disposal system it will have the benefit of all experiments made along this line in the meantime by other cities. Even the new kind of bed will ultimately become clogged up by the trade wastes from the factories, but it is expected that holding up the plan to install a new system which may cost $500,000 will be of great benefit in the end.

RELEASED ON BONDS OF $100 Will Be Tried in Berlin Town Court Tomorrow Morning, Prosecution Being in Obarge of His Friend, William H. Gibney. to his assault Satur- upon Nathan Gordon of 28 Willow street, this city, Tax Collector and ex-Prosecuting Attor- ney Elmer E. Austin of Berlin was placed under arrest this morning by Constable John Hackett on a warrant for breach of the peace and assault, which was sworn, out last night. He was released on bonds of $100 and v:ill be tried before Judge Griswold in the Berlin police court tomorrow morrow morning. Austin, it is said, will engage an at- torney and fight the case to a finish, cn the grounds that he struck Gordon only in self defense. He will be prose- cuted by one of his best friends, FProgecuting Attorney William H, Gibney, who spent the greater part of today getting evidence. While there were many people on the scene of the assault immediately after it occurred, the authorities are experiencing diffi- culty in finding witnesses of the entire affair. It is expected, however, that miuch evidence will be brought out in the trial. Quarreled Over Bill. As was reported in Saturday's Herald, Austin and Gordon waxed hot over the payment of a bill, when they met each other Saturday afternoon on New Britain road, Kensington, near Upson’s corner. It is alleged that the tax collector, who was peddling ice at the time, gave Gordon, who is a fruit vendor, a severe beating, leaving him. in the road to be picked up and car- ried to the New Britain General hos- pital in P. S. McMahon’s truck. He was unconscious upon his ar- rival at the hospital and, according to the nurses, remained in that state for He was attended by Doctors Mendel Volkenheim and Erastus P. Swasey, who found that he had a slight con- cussion of the brain. There were no marks or bruises on his body, how- ever, to show that he had been runched, it is said. Gordon left the hospital this morning. “Digdn’t Ponch Him"—Austin, Many conflicting stories of a very brutal assault in which Austin not only kicked Gordon but hit him when hLe was down, are told, but have been discredited by the tax collector, who told a reporter this morning that he did not even punch the New Britain- ite, having merely shoved him over on his back when he made as if to throw a rock at him. According to a statement made by a friend of the Berlin aspirant for pugilistic honors,. Gordon and a son purchased some apples and a few discarded automobile tires from him early in the spring, both having agreed to a price of $8.85. Gordon had only $3 with him at the time of the purchase and he turned over that amount to Austin with the under- standing that he would meet him in front of a store in New Britain that same afternoon and pay the re- mainder of the bill. Gordon, it is said, did not show up and upon going to his house on Willow street Austin was laughed at when he asked for the $5.85 due him. A short time later Austin took Sheriff James Clark of Berlin with him to the Gordon place to collect the money, with the result that one of the Gordon boys wanted to get into a fight with the officer. Then the tax collector is said to have asked for a warrant for the younger Gordon's ar- Test, but could not secure it because of the fact that hé is a minor. Slapped Gordon’s Face Recently, On various occasions Austin savs he has approached the elder Gordon in the matter and asked him in a de- cent way to pay the remainder of his bill, each time meeting with a flat re- fusal. One day a few months ago the tax collector slapped Gordon's face upon meeting him at the Berlin passenger station. On Saturday, Austin says, he met Gordon on the road and, walking over to his dellvery wagon, made request for the $5.85 due him. He avers that the fruit dealer ordered him away im- mediately and picked up a quart measure with which to strike him. The tax colleotor says that he grabbed the measure from his hand just in time to avold being struck by another wooden measure. Then, Aus- tin alleges, the New Britainite picked up a large rock and, in self defense, he was obliged to push him back- wards so that he could not throw the heavy object. The Berlin official is of the opinion that, In falling, Gordon sustained injuries to his head. Collector Austin told a reporter that he left the scene then and that Gor- don got up and walked across the road to his wagon, but when he saw a crowd beginning to assemble he at dropped down on the ground As a sequel day afternoon once | and cried aloud.

Landers, in a letter received today by a Berlin produce grower who is the instigator in a movement for the organization of a market gardeners’ association, which will be formed at an o6pen meeting at the Hotel Beloin this eve- ning, has offered the free use of the old Landers’ Playground at the cor- ner of Winter and Clark streets in this city for an experimental public wholesale market to be conducted by the proposed organization. Mr. Landers’ letter, with his rec- ommendation, will be read at this evening’s meeting and his offer will, undoubtedly, be accepted. He sug- gests, that if the plan for a public market ‘proves successful, the gar- deners’ association, take the matter up with the city with a view of hav- ing it provide the market. The market will be mutually bene- ficlal to the farmer and middleman for, while, at present, they. must lose considerable time in locating each other, they will be able to meet at the regular market, transact their business and each attend to his re- spective occupation.
