Stegler made the amazing dis- closure that she had been lured to a hotel apartment by two German news- paper reporters and there arrested on a trumped up charge after refusing io vield to_their demands that she with- draw allegations she had made against Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache of the German embassy at Washington, and others in connection with the passport frauds. The young woman-—she 1is twenty-two years old—is the American wife of the German reservist who was indicted by the federal grand jury here. for having obtalned a fradulent passport and who has been the chief accuser of Captain Boy-Ed and sev- eeral other promient pro-Germans who, he has alleged, sought to send German spies to England from this country under bogus passports. Presi- dent Wilson 1is investigating the charges against Boy-Ed. STANNARD KILLED BY TRAIN, SAYS CORONER Mystery Surrounding Death of West- brook Men Found Decad Be- side Tracks Solved. Middletown, Wed., March 3.—The mystery of the death of Elwin Stan- nard of Westbrook, whose mutilated body was found beside the railroad tracks dn Saybrook Junction on Ieb- ruary 9, is cleared up, at least as for as the county officials are concerned, by the finding rendered by Coroner Stephen B. Davis yesterday, in which he reports that in his opinion Stan- nard wandered onto the track in an intoxicated condition and was run over by a train. A detective was called into the case because of certain m sterious elements connected with it, and it is as a result of his findings that the coroner reached this decision. The chief circumstance that aroused the suspieions of the authorities' was that a large sum of money, estimated at $200, which Stannard was known to have a few hours before his death, was missing. The coroner reported in regard io this that Stannard was last seen abont 10 o’clock on the night of February 8. Between that time and the time when his body was found eleven trains passed the place where he was found lying, going east, and if a number of these trains passed over his body as it lay on the tracks, the money might very well have been ground to pieces, or his clothing so cut open that the money would have blown away. The detective who investigated the case reported to Coroner Davis that he found one man who said that he had dragged Stannard off the railroad tracks on one occasion, when he was intoxicated that he could hardly stand up. Testimony was introduced at the coroner's inquest to show that Stan- nard had been drinking heavily on the night of the accident, hence it do. not seem improbable that he wan- dered onto the railroad tracks and was Killed.

In the criminal superior court to- day, Judge E. B. Gager presiding, Joseph Wise, of Hartford but former- ly a barber in this city, pleaded guilty to bigamy and was sent to prison for from one to three years. ‘Wise married wife No. .1, Clara Sherin, in Boston fifteen years ago. Wife No. Mary Danzhey, a Nor- wich girl, he wedded in Hartford on January 16, last. It was while Wise made his home in this city about eleven years ago that he first attracted the attention oi the authorities. At that time a New York woman appeared and claimed him as her husband. He was prosecuted in the local court, but was not convicted. An appeal to the superior court to a sentence of three months in jail imposed by Judge Meskill a week ago ying concealed weapons availed John Sarra nothing, for he pleaded guilty yesterday and Judge Gager reimposed the same sentence. Attorney W. F. Delaney appeared for him, Probation was extended to Frank Angelo, of this city, who was arrested here last fall, charged with receiving stolen chickens that had been taken by Matty Driscoll and his gang.

San Francisco, March 3.—Acting on orders from the navy department, Admira] Charles F. Pond, supervisor of the Twelfth Naval district, unsealed vesterday 1,400 amateur wireless tele- graph stations in California. The de- partment on August placed a ban on all amateur and restricted radio plants on the Pacific as a precaution- ary measure for the enforcement of President .Wilson's neutrality procla- mation. It was that Admiral Pond requested such action for the reason that war vessels of the bel- ligerent nations have virtually disap- peared from the Pacific ocean, understood PLEAD NOT GUILTY.

Amsterdam, March 3. via London, p. m.—The Cologne Gazette, commenting on Premier Asquith’'s speech in the house of commons on March 1, in which he outlined Great Britain's retaliatory measures for | German, ibmarine blockade of the British Isles, says “Our submarine will now, we hope, endeavor to de- stroy all goods destined for Great Britain. Great Britain wishes war to the knife; she shall have it."” WILSON TO SIGN BILLS, Washington, March 3.—President Wilson between now and noon tomor- row will be called upon to sign bills appropriating nearly one billion dol- lars. The only large appropriation bill signed by him thus far was the pension bill. The other big supply bills will reach him today and Thurs- day, and the signing of some of them will be deferred until he goes to the capital for the closing of the present congress. CERMANY'S REPLY IS NOT SATISFACTORY Writer and Die Past. Berlin, 11:45 m.—Count Von Reventlow a writer March 3, via London, a. on naval subjects, has article in to- day’s Tages Zeitung In which he ex- presses his through displeasure both with the American note to Germanw concerning the naval war zone and the submarine blockade of the Brit- ish Isles and the German answer to this communication. i Course Out of Question. Count Von Reventlow says Amer- ican proposals would have the effect of making Germany’'s submarine war impossible, and Germany’s answer gives heed to this demand. Concern- ing Germany’s willingness to proceed according to the general international rules against hostile and neutral mer- chantmen, provided the abuse of the flag is abandoned, Count Von Revent- low says: ‘‘According to this a Ger- man submarine would let 2 merchant- man under the English flag pass by with courteous bows, perhaps with a salute of the flag. To proceed accord- ing to international rules would mean putting an end to searching and the possible capture of neutrals, and the capture under all circumstances of hostiles. Such a course for German submarines is out of the question. Moreover, even if Great Britain promised to stop the use of false flags, there could be no certainty she would keep her promise; Germany would be the loser in any event.” Die Post declares the fact that the United States alleged that its propos- als were based on upright friendship and the interests of humanity was enough to ‘“‘make one suspicious at the start.” The American proposals have been dictated solely by Ameri- can business interests, this paper says. If Germany agreed to these proposals she would keep faith, but England would not, and the result would ham- per Germany's warfare. Hence the German answer is not satisfactory. Boast of Decided Success. pt. Persius, another writer on naval matters and a war correspond- ent in the service of the Berlin Tage- blatt, says he hoped Great Britain would consent to abandon the misuse of flags and the arming of merchant men. Then neutral powers need have no further concern regarding their ship; and their citizens. German sub- marine commanders . also would be freed of a heavy load. If an agree- ment to this effect was reached the German government could boast of a decided success which is freely ac- knowledged, could only have been achieved through the support of the United' States. The Morgen Post says the American 'nole 5 couched in gratifying form and shows more respect for existing con- ditions than did the first communica- tion from Washington. Taken as a whole, the American proposals throughout are worthy of considera- tion, this paper says. ICE CONTRACT SIGNED. Common Council Will Take Final Action at Next Mecting. All that is now needed to place the municipal ice business in the hands of Edgar Rhoades is the approval of the contract drawn up and signed by him and the water commissioners. The contract was drawn by Corporation unsel J. E. Cooper and Mayor George A. Quigley. Mr. Rhoades agrees to pay down $500 on April 1 and the rest in in- stallments.

SICK HORSE SHOT BY DR. CROWLEY Veterinarian Declared Animal in White’s Stable Had Pronounced Casc of Farcy. Dr. George T. Crowley last night shot and buried the sick horse driven ! by John and Louis Marsh, which fell on Main street, near White's livery stable Monday afternoon. It was found that the animal was suffering from farcy, a form of glanders. That part of Mr. White's stabie in which the horse was kept has been disinfected. The part of the stall which came in contact with the horse has been torn down and burned and the rest has been scrubbed with dis- infectant. A report has been made | to the state commissioner, who will decide whether quarantine is neces- sary. ‘When questioned regarding Mr. White’s statement that the horse did not have glanders, Dr. Crowley =aid the horse had a pronounced case of farcy, which is the same disease as glanders except that it takes a differ- ent form. Farcy is a disease of the skin appearing in bolls, varying in | size from that of a pea to a walnut. These break open, discharging a pus, which dries up and leaves a crust, The discharge from the nose accompany- ing glanders is caused by ulcerations in the membranes of the nostrils In a few cases, said the veterinari- an, both forms appear at the same time and farcy will usually develop into glanders. - This was true of the horse killed Monday. He had a pronounced form of farcy and his submaxillary gland was already eon- larged, indicating that the disease would soon have reached the nostrils | and become known as glanders. It was ‘in justice to other horses and their owners, said Dr, Crowley, that he killed the horse. Native eggs, 33c doz.

London, March 8, 12:58 p, m.—Ac- cording to what appears to be the virtually unanimous opinion of Brit- igh observers, Germany and Austria are fighting a losing game along al- most the entire eastern front. The situation for the Austrians in the Car- pathians, judging from officiale and unofficial despatches from Petrograd, would appear to be unsatisfactory, while the Russians, it is sald, have definitely checked them in eastern Galicla, Furthermore, London ad- vices continue to relate successes of greater or leaser degrec for the Rus- slan forces in Poland operating against the armies of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg. Shell Interior Forts, The allled fleet again bombarded the Dardanelles forte, according to despatches from Athens, but the Brit- ish press bureau has not confirmed this report. The Athens message eays that four ships shelled the in- terlor forts from the Gulf of Saros and that the anxiety at Constantinople ia increasing. The attitude of the neutral powers over Great Britain's proposal to shut off all sea traffic with Germany forme 15e bgels of most of the political com- being published ioday in Eng- The London papers, through thelr Washington correspondents, all have been told that the United States will protest vigorously, and protests are expected also from Holland and the Scandinavian countries Will Not Recede. Yet it is not belleved that Great Britain will recede one whit from her announced intention, but that if nec- essary she will define her blockade measures and seek to make them ef- fective. It is argued in London that Germany, without domination of the sea and carrying on an attempted blockade by means of submaArines, is quite naturally willing to make con cessions regarding her marine war zone in return for Great Britain's re- laxing the pressure designed to cut off her supplies. The British view is that Germany has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Neverthe- less, Great Britain is still considering the American note, and a reply to thils commupication, together with further pronouncement concerning details of the blockade of the German coast, may be forthcoming, APPEALS FOR INDIANS, Presbyterian Minster Says Red Men in Utah Are Not as Bad as Painted.
