DR, WEHBERG HELD ONTREASON CHARGE | First Installment (fi_fierman Anti- Annexationist Petition Printed | | | Paris, Sept. 22, 5:35 A, M.—The first installment of an anti-annexa- tionist petition issued by the German Bund Neues Vateriand is printed this { morning by Humanite. The offices of | the organization in Berlin are said to have been raided and one of the members Dr. Wehberg, arrested on a charge of treason. As published in Humanite, the petition reads, in part, as follows: ‘‘The ideas expressed in the petition issued by the six econ- omic associations contain redoubtable danger for the conclusion of a timely, honorable pcace and for the security of the German empire after peace is signed. Therefore, the Bund feels obliged to oppose the demands of the !assocint(ons and ask the chancellor to stop their activities and disavow the objects of the war as therein set forth. “The idea of weakening Englaad and Russia until they become power- less or even are annihilated is so childish as not to admit of serious | discussion, as is shown clearly by the i lesson of history. To fight for such an { object, which cannot be attained, is | pure madness. The propagation of this madness is dangerous because it makes difficult anything like lasting peace.” Consider Various Territories, The petition next considers the va- ciations desired to have annexed, and this chapter closes with this declara- tion: “East and ‘West more than 130,- 000 square kilometres (a kilometre is two thirds of a mile) with more than sixteen -million inhabitants would thus be annexed. What do the peti- tioners of the six associations imag- ine our relations would be with these men who would have to be subjected to German domination?” rious territories the ecenomic asso- | 'Piainville News e e o e et ) GRANGE WELCOMES MANY “NEIGHBORS IEmertains Nearly 200 Guests at | Meeting Last Evening HARRIS LEFT PAIR OF WILLS | Bccentric Negro Gives Estate to Wo- | Him—New Haven Gangstcrs Get Off 'With Light | man Who Cared For Fines—Other Briefs.

Members of the New Haven gang which caused a riot on the Sdimewick | farm near Dunham’'s bridge, Sunday, fared extremely well when they were arraigned before Judge Welch in the Southington town court yesterday aft- ernoon. The nine men arrested in ! Plainville, where they came seeking physicians to dress the wounds in- flicted in the fight, wWere simply charg- ed with intoxication and breach of ! the peace, all entering pleas of guilty. | Their counsel attempted to make | light of the affair which he described | as a clam bake sequel. He claimed | his clients had good reputations in | the Elm city and most of them had | never been in trouble before. The court was inclined to be lenient and imposed a fine of $4 in each case, | the costs of prosecution to be divided among the gang. Bach man’s assess- ! mene was $9.-87. Zdimcwick and his neighbors, who were injured while defending the farm from the attacking forces, made an attempt to have the bill due th: doctors for treating their hurts in- cluded in the costs of the court, but they were advised that they would have to settle themselves or seeis damages through ctvil proceedings. Birds Here for Breeding, Minton A. orton yesterday rec- eilved a consignment of twenty-tw> English pheasants sent here by the state fish and game commission with orders to releasc them in the woods in this locality. An attempt is being made to breed pheasants in this stats and the commission is distributing the birds in the various towns: Application for a consignment for Plainville were made several mogths ago by Mr. Norton and J. H. Trum- bull, but nothing was heard ‘from them until a week ago. Frederick N. i Manross, a member of the commis- sion, told Mr. Norton a few days ago that arrangements were being made to send some cf the birds to Plain- ville. The local man advised that they be kept at the state farm until | spring, as he considered they would be easy prey to hunters this fall if they were liberated at this time. A crate of the pheasants arrived here yesterday, however, and Mr. Norton is in a quandry as to what dis- position to make of them. He be- lieves it would be as well to kill them for use at a game supper as to free them in the woods hereabouts. Tha hunting season cpens October 1 and Mr. Norton feel: that it would be signing their death warrant to release them now. Harris L:ft Two Wills, Lévin Harris, the eccentric negro who died a few days ago, was so anxious to have his wishes carrsd out regarding the disposition of nis estate that he made two wills, 2x- | pressing in each the desire that his | money be given tc Mrs. Thomas Nix- on, a friend of long standing who had cared for him for years. This came to light yesterday when two documents were filed in the pro- bate court. Frank S. Neal offered | one which had Lcen entrusted to his | care by Harris Lwo years ago. The other had been in possession of M. 1 O. Ryder for a few months. The latter bore the latest date and will | probably be acecepted by the court. Harris has no relatives living. It ic expected that his estate is worth about $700. Ho has a small amount | in the bank and the equity in a small farm which he cultivated for years. ! The old man lived alone for years. | | Mrs. Nixon did a great deal for him |and in appreciation of her kindness i | fractured leg, injurcd a few days ago i to the grocer, he directed that his estate be gi to her.

Joseph F. Dutton, democrat, George F. Linstead, republican, are | to be the opposing candidates for | mayer of Bristol at the election to be | held on October 4. They polled the | largest vote at the pri ies held | in the neighboring eity as a result Georze F. Hull and Sam- vellJ. Large were eliminated from the | contest. The democratic nomince s well kpown in Plainville. He is a prac- tising lawyer and has a large number | of friends in this vicinity. His elec- tion is generally expected.

The saloon draws its heaviest pa- tronage from the working classes. into the saloon till, the working man freely drops his hard-earned coin. What does he get in return? “Why, he gets refreshment, new strength and energy, fresh ambition; if warm | he gets cooled off; if cold, he gets | warmed up: his nerves are reinvigor- | ated and made stcadier; his whole ! system is toned up and he is refitted | for fresh tasks and larger duties.” | A more pernicious lie was never | uttered. It has hcen proved by actual tests that a man will do more work when he drinks: water than when he drinks beer, A man who | drinks one glass of beer, the day on | which he drinks 1it, his general| officiency will be lowered, on an' average of eight per cent. Tf he takes three glasses of beer a day, or Iits equivalent in light wine, for twelve days, his efficiency at the end twelve days will be lowered from tc forty per cent., depending upon the temperament of the man and the nature of the work. He may think he +is doing more work, but this only shows the evil of the drink. H Beer or any alcoholic drink lowers a man’'s money-earning power and‘ cuts down the benefit of his skill. Tt aijso cuts down his working capital hy reducing his strength and power of | endurance. The drink habit is 2 menace to the safety of the working man. More ac- cidents occur to worRing men on Monday and the day following a holi- | day than on any other day in the week simply because drinking men | spend their Sundays and holidays boozing instead of resting. In place of being refreshed, a man is exhausted by drink. His nerves, once steady, hccome shaky. He loses the power to fix his attention on any- thing definite. Instead of being care- ful, he becomes carcless and it is only a question of time before he | has to step down to a lower job and | ! Jower pay ana if not extremely care- | ful, he iz down and out. But the evil effects of the drink tabit are not confined to the working man and his job. The money he drops into the saloon till does mot go the baker, butcher, clothier nor dry goods dealer. But these dealers are patient and kin:]-" | | | (Continued on Tenth Page.) l The Hartford Silk Store.
