Meskill, determined to put an abrupt stop to all forms of vandalism and lawlessness, sent Joseph Geoski to Jail for two months for throwing a ! stone through the window of the Cor- bin Screw corporation factory and im- pesed an additional fine of $10 and costs. for drunkenness. Frank Andre- =2zek and Tofial Parulski, Union Works . strikers were each fined $25 and costs for threatening the life of Charles Kalkus, a strike breaker. 1t is the intention of the police de- ~ psrtment and the prosecuting authori- + ‘to treat the strikers as other citi- ns just so long as they remain peac- \able; but the moment any trouble is started the guilty ones will be ap-| “prehended ahd prosecuted to the ful- lest extent of the law. The determina- | tion of the authorities to put an in- | stant stop to all misdeeds which savor »of mob violance is shown by the sum- mary punishment meted out to those who have let their enthusiasm run ‘away with their better judgment during the past few days and have lLieen brought into court. 4 At B:15-oolack-yesterday afternoon Officer Fred Wagner was called to the ‘Church street railroad crossing at Screw Corp- who declared that three men had held him up as he came from the Union Works and threatened to kill him if « Me returned to work today. He took ¥ the policeman to the depot where he picke@ Frank Andrezek, Stanley Poloski and Toflal Parulski out of he crowd as the men who had threa- tened him. In court this morning h{nlkue testified that the trio stop- ped him as he was coming from work _and that Andrezek said “If you don't . stop work we will kill you.” Andre- zek is on a strike from the TUnion Works as are both Poloskj and Parul- i. John Slaney, who overheard the hreat, testified that Andrezek had threatened Kalkus’ life if he insisted on working. Blame Kalkus For Strike. Poloski denied taking part in the threatening and in this he was cor- roborated by the two other prisoners, . both of whom admitted that they “Avere talking to Kalkus but denied ‘fhreatening him. Parulski said that when the strike was called Kalkus went out with the rest but had re- considered and returned to work. He did' not think this was fair and it gas simply to tell Kalkus so that he stopped him, he said. ¢ Andrezek ‘told the coort that Kal- | kus was one of the strike leaders and it was he who urged and influenced . the other men to leave their work. _After persuading them to strike Kal- “kus’ himself 'changed his' mind and returned to his employment and by so doing is simply “taking the bread out of our mouths,” said the prisoner. He denied threatening Kalkus and said he simply asked him to remain saway from work until the strike is settled. » Judge Meskill discharged Poloski but- fined both Andrezek and Parul- < eki $25 and costs.

The Mesopotamia expedition is approaching nearer to Bagdad, and from the Sudlai bay, aba ‘Tepe line an attack on Con- stantinpole may begin at any mo- ment.” BRYAN LAUDS WILSON. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 29.—W. J. Bryan, in an address here last night paid the following tribute to Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson: “Happy for | cur nation that we have in the White House at this time a president who believes in setting the old world a good example, instead of following the bad example which the old world sets in this matter. What an un- speakable misfortune it would have been if in such an hour as this the nation had been under the leadership of a president inflamed by -the false philosophy which has plunged Europe into the abyss of war.” BRITISH TRANSPORTS ARE REPORTED SUNK Ramazan and Another Sent to Bottom—Many Lives Athens, Greece, Sept. 28, via Lon- don, Sept. 29, 10:25 a. m.—The Greek government has released the Sikhs and Gourkas who were survivors of the British transport Ramazan which was sunk by a submarine. They were sent jmmediately to Malta on the Messageries Maritimes Steamer Si- boni. Many of them had no oppor- tunity even to obtain clothing. There has heen no previous an- nouncement of the sinking of the Ramazan, a steamer of 3,477 tons, al- though a wireless despatch from Ber- lin on Sept. 21 stated that the Frank- furter Zeitung reported that a large British transport from Egypt for the Dardanelles had been sunk by a Ger- man submarine. This vessel scarce- ly could have been the Ramazan, however, for the Frankfort paper said the vessel in question was a 15,- 000 ton steamer which had been sunk in the Mediterranean off the Island of Crete. The Ramazan evidently was carry- ing Indian troops either to the Galli- poli Peninsula or to France. The course taken might have been through the Arabian sea, the Gulf of Aden, the led Sea and the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean. The fact that the survivors were landed at Athens makes it seem likely the troops were on their way to the Dardanelles. In addition to the report from Ber- lin on Sept. 21 there have been sev- eral other unconfirmed announce- ments from German sources of the sinking of British transports. Berlin, Sept. 29, by wireless to Say- ville, N. Y.—The sinking of a British transport with the loss of all but a few members of the crew is reported in a despatch from Constantinople to the Overseas News Agency. BULGARIAN MINISTERS RESIGN: Finance and Commerce Heads Dis- agree With Premier Radoslavofl. Paris, Sept. 29, 6 a. m—A Havas despatch from Athens says: “The Bul- garian ministers of finance and com- merce have resigned, according to a report received from a reliable source in Sofia. The reason given offieially is a divergence of views on internal questions, but the real cause is the complete disagreement of these cab- inet members with Premier Radosla- voff on the policy to be followed in view of the determimed attitude of Greece. “King Ferdinand granted an au- dience to former Premier Malinoff, leader of the party favorable to Rus- sia, and asked him, it is understood, to form a new cabinet.” SUNK. ITALTAN BATTLESHIP Over 300 Men Aboard Benedetto Brin Believed To Have Been Lost. London, Sept. 29, 1:02 p. m.—A dispatch from the Stefani News Agency of Rome says that the Italian battleship Menedetto Brin sank fol- lowing the explosion which resulted from fire on board the vessel. The cause of the disaster has not been ascertained. The announcement last night of the explosion on the Benedetto Brin did not make it clear whether the vessel had gone down. It was said eight officers and 739 marines had been saved. Something over 300 men are still unaccounted for.

S 7 WILSON REVIEWS G. A. R. VETERANS 200,000 Survivors of TUnion Army March in Barade From Capitol to White House. Washington, Sept, 29.—All that re- mains’ of the Union Army of 200,000 which fifty years ago passed in re- view before President Johnson, marched up Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol to the White House today and was reviewed by President ‘Wilson. Thousands banked along the line of march, cheered the G. A. R. veterans. There were Confederate veterans in the crowd. and they did some hearty cheering, too. Scenes of patriotic enthusiasm marked the passage of the veterans at President Wilson’s stand. Fre- queéntly the president waved his hat to the old soldiers. The cheering in the reviewing stand in front of the ‘White House was almost constant. As a fife and drum corps passed playing “Rally ’'Round the Flag, Boys.” many in the president’s stand joined in singing the chorus. As each contingent swung along applause broke out afresh, and many of the old soldiers responded to the president’s greeting by waving flags. Tired by the march from the capi- tol to the White House, a little more than a mile, veterans looked exhausted when they reached the president’s stand. Many leaned upon younger and more robust comrades. A few strode forward with unfaltering steps. The president stood throughout the entire review, removing his hat each time an American flag passed. The procession was headed by Lieutenant General Nelson A, Miles, retired, who on his arrival before the ‘White House dismounted and joined the president in the reviewing stand.. Then came detachments of regular soldiers, sailors and militia, Sons of Veterans, followed and directly be- hind them, led by the United States Marine band, came- the first of old soldiers. The parade began to move soon af- ter 10 o’clock and was more than two hours passing. As it progressed some of the older veterans dropped from the lines. The old soldiers marched nearly in the center of the broad avenue, while the ambulances spun along on both sides. the | MAY LOCATE HERE. Mayor Quigley received an inquiry this morning from 1. S.

Albany, Oregon, * Sept. 29.—Otto Hcoker, an escaped convict, who shot and killed Harry Minto, warden of the Oregon Penitentiary at Salem, and probably wounded J. J. Benson, city marsha] of Jefferson, died today from wounds suffered in a revolver battle with a posse last night. Hooker was discovered in an un- occupied house here shortly before midnight.

A woman who conducts a boarding house at 106 Beaver street called on Chief Rawlings at police heéadquarters this afternoon and amid a.shower of tears told him that a woman who owed her $21 board for two children was leaving the city without paving her. Officer Malone went to the de- pot and on the boarding mistress’ complaint brought Mrs. Jennie La Fond, a former local cabaret artist, to the police station- She admitied owing the money but said sh® had none with which to pay, but would forward it as soon as she learned it. At first the boarding mistress want- ed to keep the two La Fond chil- dren for security and when she heard the mother say she had no money she broke into a long tirade during which she gave away several secrets, among which was the fact that Mrs, La Fond keeps her moncy, ner watch and several rings in her “first nation- al bank.” During her argument the boarding house woman sald that Jake Winkle had promised to pay the bill but that he had neglected to do s0- !

' Like the little brook the poets sing about the New Britain-Middletown canal runs on forever. The only dif- ference between the two is that there is water in the brook The canal is a nice camal, as canals go, but so far it consists of nothing more than an ink line drawn through a map.

It is the most persistent canal in these parts sl though it has vet to get on the front -page through any landslides along its course. As the result of a letter received from Major J. B, Pillsbury of the war department, stationed at New London, Mayor Quigley is thinking of calling a public mass meeting so those who have any ideas regarding the construc- tion of the canal may be heard. The letter, received today, follows: “As you are doubtless aware, the river and harbor act approved March 4, 1915, authorized the examination (and, if favorable, the survey) of the Sebethe river, including a canal from a suitable point on that river to New Britain. The examination of the phy- sical characteristics of this waterway and of the maps, has been made; and George M. Landers has courteously furnished me with statistics on its commercial aspects. Before submit- ting the’ report on the examination, hdwever, to afford those interested in such an improvement the fullest op- portunity to be heard, I shall be pleased to receive from you any writ- ten communication which you may desire to have considered or forward- ed with the report, or to hold a publie hearing at New Britain at which those interested may express their views; or if it be so desired, to have a more informal conference with the more representative citizens to that end. I shall be very glad to hear from you if you believe any of these courses desirable. “I may inform you that I have written in similar tenor to Frank H. Johnston, to George M. Landers and to the President of the Chamber of Commerce.” MINERS STILL ENTOMBED., Rescuers Fail to Reach Imprisoned Men After All Night's Work.
