N HARTFORD NEXT Small Fing [mposed on Girl in New Britain Court This Morning. The exploits of Helen Bass will be aired in the Hartford police court tomorrow morning. Her experiences with the New Britain police ended in police court this morning with fines %F $3 and $6 on two charges of theit, no. jail sentence being imposed on ac count of the fact that she already $pent a week in jail and the court re- garded this as sufficient punishment. Preparations were made this morn- ing by the Charity Organization and a number of Jewish residents of the ity to send the girl back to New Xuxl\. her brother having promised to meet her at the station and secure a ]Ion‘lc and employment for her. The plans came to naught when the Hart- ford police sent word that the girl was wanted there tomorrow. Helen -Bass pleaded guilty to the theft charge on Thursday of last week yand testified in regard to her connec- tion with Al Herman, who was tried on Saturday. This morning Prosecu- ting Attorney Klett simply recomn- mended a small fine. Attorney M. D. Saxe told of the letters received from her brother offering her a home and employment. He said that the sirl had been good until her mother died six months ago, when she became 3 sociated with companions of lo morals. The blame for her thefts in New Britain and Hartford was placed Xn Al Herman by Attorney Saxe, who said that she stole to give him money for clothes. She remained with him, he said, because she expected he would finally marry her. | Louis Curico of 29 Tocust street, who earns $4.50 a day as stone mason, or $27 a week, was in court this morn- ¥ng on a charge of non-support of his wife and six children, four of whom are under fourteen years of age and three of whom go to school. He tried without mruch success to show where the money was spent, claiming among other things that he paid $1 a day te the union and had reserved $10 of his last week’'s pay for his expenses in police court this morning. Meanwhile his wife had nothing in Rer home but a little flour and some oil according to Miss Elsie Osborn of the Charity Organization. He owns house in which he lives, but it is sald he lives like a hermit in it. His family occupies the rooms downstairs and he reserves the rooms upstairs for his own use, denying any members of his family access to his apartments and cooking his own meals. His wife “testified that while he ate whatever he wished, she and the children did not have enough to live on. Judge James T. Meskill sentenced Curico to sixty days in jail, sentence being suspended and the man put on probation with orders to pay $10 a week toward the support of his family for a-year. * The case of Charles Stepnik charged with assaulting his wife, was con- tinued until Saturday, as were the cases of Joseph Hannon, Charles Ma toosian, and Richard O’Keefe, all of whom engaged in a fight resulting from the throwing of a snowball by Joseph Hannon. Matoosian was hit and tried to give Hannon a beating; it is alleged, and O'Keefe interfered »and. tried to punish Matoosian. ANNUAL CONCERT TO BE GIVEN TONIGHT Y. M. C.

This relative guiet has given ample opportunity for the discussion by the British press of the American note in reply to the British order in ¢oun- cil. The comment on this communi- cation has been widespread. Most of it expresses gratification with the tone of the note. but there is great difference of opinion as to the pos- sible results. Newspapers which from the first have advocated a formal blockade of Germany, see a loop hole in the note for ‘action on the part of the British government leading to this end, while others ex- press the feeling that a fuller under- standing by the United States of the British position will lead to acquies- cence in the present order in coun- cil. Austro-Germans in Retreat, Unofficial Austrian news reaching London by way of Paris declares that the Austro-German forces in the vic- inity of the Lupkow Pass are in full retreat, but all other reports from this section of the eastern line indi- cate that the opposing armies are still locked in a deadly grapple. Russia reports fighting within the boundaries of Hungary north of Czernowitz. The Austrians are de- scribed as retreating after a stubborn fight, while on the other hand the Austrians claim to have prevented the Russians from crossing the river Dniester and to have taken 1,400 prisoners, In the diplomatic field there is lit- tle of interest except the report that Bulgaria and Serbia have reached a friendly settlement of the trouble arising from the invasion of Serbian territory by Bulgarian irregulars. German Attacks Repulsed. Havre, April 6, 5:10 u. m.—Fresh attacks by German forces against the Belgian congo have been repulsed, according to a report made by the deputy governor general of Katanga to the Belgian minister for the colonies. -An assault made on‘'Mount Heobu, north of Lake Kivu, was driven back with heavy losses to the iermans, who were persued into their own territory (German East Africa.) The railroad from Kalbo to Lake Tanganika was completed the middle of March. This line provides an ad- ditional element of defense for it makes possible a trip from Stanley Falls to Tanganika in less than a week. URGES BRITISH NOT TO CRITICISE U. S. Westminister Gazette Says Allied Cause Owes. Debt to Moral and In- tellectual Support of Americans. London, April 6, 1:28 p. m.—The Westminster Gazette, which is in very close touch with the government, draws particular attention today to that passage of the American note in to the British order in coun- cil, which reads as follows: “The United States takes it for granted that the approach of Ameri- can merchantmen to neutral ports situated upon the long line of coast affected by the order in council will not be interfered with when it is known that they do not carry goods which are contraband of war or goods destined to or proceeding from ports within the belligerent territory af- fected.” Commenting upon this the Gazette says: “It is this pa: statement, ge which seems to | contain the substance of the Amer- ican communication, and which in- terprets exactly the intentions of the British and the allied governments.” Continuing the newspaper rebukes those Englishmen who think the American government should “testify to the world against the violation of Belgium, infractions of The Hague conventions and other exhibitions of German frightfulness,” and brings its article to an end with these words: “The allied cause in Europe owes an immense debt to the moral and intellectual support it has had from vast numbers of the American peo- ple who see instinctively what is at stake in this conflict. In no neutral country has the allied cause been more warmly espoused or more forc- ibly presented by men of light and learning. Let us always be grateful for that, and refrain from criticising a government which hus all manner of difficulties that mot be rightly nppl'vci:l(c‘d in this count A social time was given lust evening at the Misses Kallman's home at 106 Hartford avenue. A very enjoyable evening was spent. Guests were pres ent from Hartford, Waterbur: New York, Whist was played and the first prize was won by G.

A membership meeting of the civic bureau of the Chamber of Commerce will be held in the Grammar school hall at 8:15 o'clock tomorrow even- ing, when Grosvenor Dawe will de- liver an address on ‘Team Work Be- tween Government and Business. What it Would Mean to Our Coun- try.” The popularity of Mr. Dawe's mes- sage is emphasized by the fact that he has been engaged to deliver sixty addresses before Chautauqua au- diences during July and August. He will also address the grammar schoal students and the two divisions of the High school during the day. Mr. Dawe is best known through- out the southern states, he having been the originator and organizer of the Southern Commercial Commerce, which now has its headquarters'in Washington. His reputation as speaker on business matters is, how- ever, nation wide. In 1912, associated with a few other leading men, Fahey of Boston, he was one of those who studied the conditions that led to the organization of the Chamber af Commerce of the United States. Immediately after its organization he was selected chief of its editorial di- vision and supervised the publication Nation’s Business.” Since October of last year he has given all his time to personal editarial work and to public speaking. He has never before appeared as a speaker in a New England city and the New Brit- ain Chamber of Commerce is for- tunate in securing such <an able speaker, Civic Bureau Committces. al among them John H.| | from which he Chairman S.

Hartford, April 6—Two subjects loome big in legislative debate today. The senate had before it an unfavor- able report on the proposition to abolish capital punishment in Connec- ticut. The judiciary committee was supported after a very lively debate on a roll call 25 to 3, Senators Tut- tle, Barnes and Hewitt being recorded in favor of abolishment .of the death penalty. A peculiar parliamentary situation was developed. The original bill which came from the committee pro- vided for abolishment of capital pun- ishment on persons convicted of mur- ders committed outside of prison walls. The unfavorable report on this bill was accepted. Senator then offered a substitute bill provid- ing for the abolishment of all capi- tal punishment. The question then came upon the passage of the sub- stitute bill and that was lost 25 to 3. Senator Tuttle then offered another bill providing that the jury be em- powered in murder trials to recom- mend clemency to the court and to not such clemency shall be recommended, such recommendation to result in im- prisonment for life. Bills Favorably Reported, Favorable reports were made on se matters: Providing for a cap- tain, lieutenant and sergeunt in the state police; providing tnat an elec- tor moving just before election may vetain his voting privilege in the town had removed; pro- hibiting the adulteration of turpen- tine; providing for inquiries by coro- ners whenever in his opinion a per- | son has been so seriously injured that | | .economy commission and referred { hares which would have | those on hiz death is imminent: providing that all city, town and boruvugh records shall be recorded on standard mill brand paper; providing that a phar- | macist must have a license for each | store he manages; giving the state beard of health general oversight, care and control of all matters per- taining to the purity of any source of water or ice supply used by any municipality, public institution or water or ice company. Handicap on Jury, Senator Hewitt said that he did not favor any such change as this as it would be a handicap, he believed, upon the jury. Senator Tuttle said he offered the latter bill to stimulate some action in the way of a substitute for capital punishment, but he was satisfied tha the majority of the senate did not in- tend to allow any action on this mat- ter and he would withdraw the bill. The senate then voted to reject the bill unfavorably reported by the com- mittee. Peer Bill Adopted. The second matter debated was the deer bill in the house which was adopted in disagreement with the sen- ate. A favorable report was made on the bill concerning the bottling ahd sale of drinking water providing that any one, selling such must first secure a license from the state board of health at a fee of $10. An unfavorable report was made on a bill providing for a state health commissioner at a salary of $6,000 a year. “Suspender” Day in House. The house today received from Gov- ernor Holcomb the report of the it to the judiciary committee. This was ‘“suspender” day in the house each member receiving a box of suspenders as gift from Representa- tive Russell of Middl etown. Rev. Richard Wright of Cambridge, Mass., offered prayer. % The bill on hunting rabbits and prohibited the use of ferrets rejected by the sen- ate was also killed by the house, the committee’s favorable report being re- jected 135 to 18. Unfavorable Reports. Among unfavorable reports were bills providing for a min- umum wage of $7 for minor females and $10 for adults; to establish a maximum eight hour day for women in manufacturing establishments: providing for appeals from decisions of park commissioners to the board of aldermen; to make it unlawful to compel a woman to pump a machine with her feet more than 25 times per minute at work in a mercantile es- tablishment. * WAGE PROBE RESUMED. Chicago, April 6.—Investigation of the wages and working conditions of Pullman company conductors and Jborters was continued by the United States commission on industrial re- lations today. R. W. Bell secretary of the Federation of Pullman conductors and porters, who resumed the witness stand, was unable to estimate the average income in tips of porters. The salaries of conductors, ranging from $70 to $95, he said, were relieved of some strain by free rooms at cer- tain hotels which they recommended to passengers who inquire on the sub- ject. Mr. Bell sald that he was for- merly a conductor, but was dismissed because of his activity in trying unionize the employes of the con pany. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. I'rank Mitchkowski.
