Bet if you do there’ll be lots of times when you sit around in the boat with nothing to do but watch the sun a-glistening on the water by your bobby and" wait for some kind of a “fin,”’ to start suthin without much luck— Watchful Waiting’s a Good Policy But if you have something worth while reading while a double bar- reled jimmy pipe is taking the skin off your tongue you won’t mind the wait half as much. It takes a live -one to keep you interested at times like that though. No use skimming through a lot of “tommy rot” about Gladys and Leon Why not tackle reading that will keep you informed, broaden your knowledge of current events, and tell you what your neighbors are doing with themselves.

ACCUSED HUSBAND CHARGES INFIDELITY Bilou Family Troubles Aired in Police Court Today. In reply to his wife's charges of nron-support, Martin Bilou, who was given a hearing before Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morn- ing, entered into a long harangue of accusations against his better half. He declared that she goes out frequent- ly with other men, usually with Ar- menians, and stays out late at night. At other times she goes out of town with male admirers. As a final thrust inst his wife's fidelity Mr. Bilou said that he caught her in a Myrtle street restaurant, conducted by Arme- nians, and at the time one Armenian had his arms around her and both were imbibing freely. Mrs, Bilou denied these charges and says that for several months her hus- band has contributed nothing toward her support. His only occupation is to play a fiddle at weddings. An ad- ditional charge of assault was also preferred against Bilou, and to .sub- stantiate this Mrs. Bilou exposed a part of her bosom to the court to show the black and blue marks caused by her husband's blows. Judge Meskill continued the case for two weeks in care of the proba- tion officer. New Excuse Offered. Almost invariably prisoners charged with drunkenness offer some weak ex- cuse for their errors, but today Stan- ley Koocheski added an entirely new excuse in the long list of ‘“stock ex- cuses.” He said that as he was walk- ing down the street his shoe lace broke and he sat down to repair it. | As he was sitting there an officer came along and arrested him. Was he drunk? Certainly not; he had a few drinks, but he wasn't drunk! He was fined $5 and costs. Officer Strolls made the arrest and later brought in Charles McGill, who was sent to Jjail for fifteen days for being drunk. Others Sent to Jail. “Gyp” Keegan, the old reprobate atrested in the rear of the Stanley building yesterday afternoon, as well as his pal, Frank Brushek, was sent to jail for fifteen days. Mrs, Sage Testifies. Mrs. John Sage testified against her husband, John, this morning, sayving that since June 23 he has worked but | three weeks. At that time Sage was ; arrested for non-support, but the case was continued until October 1 to see if he would behave himself, Mrs. Sage asserted that her hus- band has been home but two nights in the past two weeks and also says that from 7 o’clock in the morning until closing time he sits in a saloon ¢rinking., On Saturday night she met him in front of the saloon and asked him for some money whereupon he chased her some distance and when | ghe locked him out of the house he smashed a panel in the door. Last night she had to borrow $1 from neighbors to get something to eat, she declared. Sage said he did not care to make any statement, adding that it wouldn't do any good anyway.” Judge Meskill ordered him to fur- nish a bond of $300 and pay his wife $6 per week for six months. Young Boys Arrested. Steve Riess, Mondak Riess, John Kasetta, Louis Melinsky and Steve Sy mowski, the eldest of whom is not over twelve years of age, were arrest- ed by Officer Fred Wagner yesterday on a charge of damaging property. Judge Meskill gave them a hearing in chambers this morning and con- tinued the cases until tomorrow. The boys knocked a large section of a brick wall from the building on Feaver street owned by Miss Cath- erine Gilbert. After securing the bricks the youngsters carted them away. BRINGS SERIOUS CHARG Main Street Waitress Accuses William Walsh, a Waiter.

MAY INVOLVE U.S. N EUROPEAN WAR Senators Argue Possibifity Shou'd Shp Bill Be Passed. Washington, Aug. 6.—In two hours | devoted to consideration of the Alex- | ander bill for the American registry of foreign built ships, which was tak- en up in the senate yesterday after having béen passed by the house, op- |'position developed, and several | amendments were offered. Finally by | agreement, the bill went over until today. Possibility that the passage of such an act would involve the United States in the European conflict was | suggested by Senator Gallinger of | New Hampshire and Senator Craw- | ford of South Dakota. Each sug- gested that if foreign merchantmen were purchased by Americans and | foreign officers and crews were re- tained and only the flag changed, the pgoceeding would appear to foreign nations as a subterfuge and would | lead to the seizure of some of the ves- sels as prizes of war. Ample Proof Necessary. Senator O’'Gorman explained that | an American who purchased a vessel under such circumstances would be put to the necessity of proving before | @ prize court that he purchased in good faith. Senator. Crawford insisted that the | passage of the act would simply in- | vite international trouble. He called ! attention to claims now pending be- fore congress for damages growing out of seizures by France 100 years ago. | | | Square Deal Questioned. Senator Gallinger inquired whether or not it would be a square deal to ships now flying the American flag and engaged in the foreign trade for the government to permit foreign of- ficers, who drew about one-half of the pay that American officers do, to sail such ships and for our govern- ment also to waive the inspection and | measurements our laws require. “About the only thing that would | be American on these ships would be the flag,” said Senator Gallinger. Mr. O’'Gorman replied that the senate was dealing with a great | emergency. Industries Being Paralyzed. “Our industries are being para- lyzed,” said he. “We have only six vessels flying the American flag on the Atlantic ocean. What better sug- gestion can the senator from New Hampshire make for meeting this | emergency 2" Senator Gallinger replied that it was possible to change the law to permit vessels now in the coastwise trade of the United States to engage in the foreign trade. Senator O'Gor- man agreed with Senator Gallinger that this could be done by a slight change in the law and in the same bill. Agree With Gallinger. | Senator Stone and Senator Weeks | also agreed with this idea, and Mr. | Weeks called attention to the large number of vessels of large capacity on the Great Lakes. There are several amendments to the bill pending. RICHTER & CO. MEMBERS NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE Represented by K. W. EDDY. New Britain Nat.

Telephone 1120, COLONEL SAYS HE WOULD SMITE ENEMY Roesevelt Quetes Biblc in Pica for Hisman. New York, Aug. 6.—The state pro- gressive conference at the Hotel Astor yesterday was colored by much oppo- sition to Harvey D, Hinman, but no important leader made a flat anti- Hinman speech, which might have started real fireworks. In a day marked otherwise by con- siderable aimless twittering the cen- terpiece was of course the speech whereby Col. Roosevelt hoped to con- vince the doubters that Mr. Hinman will do the work at Albany desired by the progressive party, even if at pres- ent he does not subscribe to the en- tire progressive creed, “We should ask nothing of such a man,” he said, “except that on the immediate and vital issue of clean and honest government and on the overthrow of both bosses and both machines and of the governmental corruption that has followed the dom- inance of these machines in our state policies he shall represent our ideas.” For his pithiest declaration of pur- pose for 1914, as for his Armageddon of 1912, the colonel went to the Bible. “I want to smite the enemy,” he said, cutting away from his manu- seript, “I wish to strike with the sword of the Lord and of Gideon. 1 wish to hew Ammon hip and thigh. And to do that 1 want to do some- thing effective—something that the enemy will feel.” 2 Colonel Pleads For Results. He climbed the scale of his falsetto as he added: “I am not anxious to save our souls by passing nice little resolutions and by taking some action that will leave us performing in vacuo | while the bosses and their agents praise us for being consistent.” The 800 men and women in the ball room cheered this and the colonel’s appeal for fusion on a “‘union platform” just as loudly as | they had cheered earlier insistence from other men that the progressives must nominate a straight ticket in the good old way. Amos Pinchot, for example, insisted that it was not enough to be told that Mr. Hinman is an honest man and op- posed to bosses. He said the progres- sives were warranted in asking for a more particular bill of political faith, He asked that a committee be ap- pointed to submit pertinent questions to Mr. Hinman and other candidates publicly. From many in the ball- room came signs of approval. Yet when it came to vote Mr. Pinchot's motion was referred by a 101 to 5 vote to a committee of twenty-one, which is “to consider and report re- commegndations concerning the plat- form and policy of the party during the coming campalign.” To this committee was entrusted all important matters, apparently includ- ing consideration 6f candidates. Tts members. appointed by State Chair- man Robinson, are: Frederick M. Davenport, Regius H Post, Franci W. Bird, Bainbridge Colby, Hugh Ab- bott, Willlam T. Ransom, Ernest Cawerfot, Harold J. Richardson, Wil- lium M. Chadbourne, Horace 8. Wil- kinson, J. J. Lesser, Chauncey J. Hamlin, Walter A. Johnson, Earl S, ‘Warner, Beveridge C. Dunlop, Hamil- ton Fish. Jr.,, Robert H. Elder, Arthur Rathbun, August Schwartzler, John R. Taylor and William H. Childs, chai man. Otherwise the feature of the con- ference, in which only members of the state committee were supposed to vote, although county chairmen and county committeemen were also in company; was a refusal to let William Sulzer in to make a speech. Outburst for Sulzer. The Sulzer outburst enlivened the session. Philip C. S8amuels, who held a proxy, demanded that Mr. Sulzer be invited to speak. Dr, Kozma of the Fast Side amended the motion to in- clude an invitation to Mr. Hinman, who, so far as anybody knew, was in Binghamton. After endless excited debate, cries that free speech wers being trampled on, during which Chairman Robinson first banged the head off his gavel and then sat on the tuble cheerfully swinging his legs, Mre. William Vanamee sald: “We are making ourselves supremely ridiou- lougs, Why not call Miss Ann Rhodes to assist the chairman as an expert on procedure ? Ewventually the motion { affecting Mr. Sulzer and Mr. Hinman was tabled. A few minutes later the Colonel ap- peared on the stage. He was greeted with cheers and flag and hat waving, but the demonstration lacked some- thing of old time fervor. Colonel Kcosevelt seemed to be in first rate health. Colonel 1Liable to Err. One of the unconvinced was Henry Burger of Kings, who said even Colonel Roosevelt was liable to err and had done so this time. Mr, Bur- ger would have none of Mr. Hinman. He shouted: “Let us vote for a straight ticket.” Ex-Senator Daven- port spoike for Hinman, saying he is “not a progressive in our sense of the word and does not claim to be,” but is ‘“conservatively progressive on all the important issues.” Mrs. Vanamee said she was for Mr, Hinman despite his suffrage beliefs, because he could be trusted to do the right thing. A resolution reaffirming zeal for woman suffrage was passed. It was prepared by Mrs, Harriet Stanton Blatch, Colonel Roosevelt returned to | Oyster Bay last night by automobile. Before zoing to the progressive con- ference in the afternoon he conferred with Cecil Lyon, national committee- man from Texas; Charles Thompson, rational committeeman from Ver- mont:; County Chairman Bird and City Judge William L. Ranson He refused to comment on the Kuropean crisis, NEW TAX RECORD.
