Londan, May 30.—Drinking in the homes is growing, and there is an in- crease of excess among those women who drank before the war, according ta a report by a committee of promi- nent women which has investigated Lthe subject. Remedial suggestions cffered Included more drastic re- strictions as to the distribution and canvassing for the sale of liquor, the withdrawal of the proposal that the wives of sailors and soldiers should not be arrested for drunken- ness except after a first or second offense; the extension of a plan of trusteeship for the payment of separation allowances granted to wives wWhose husbands are fighting; and the appointment of speciol plain- clothes inspectors for saloons and of women police at police courts. | I | CONGRESSMEN MUST TAKE THEIR GHOIGE Sub-Committee Said to Oppose Their Holding Two Jobs (Special to the Herald.) Washington, June 26.—The enact- ment of the new national defense law, the calling out of the national guard | for duty in connection with the Mext- can imbroglio, and the authority granted to draft them into the federal service for duty abroad if necessary have raised a number of questions of interest to New England members of the national guard and to some New England members of congress. One of these will not be formally reported upon to congress until to- day, but it is understood that it has been decided upon by a sub-commit- tee of the house judiciary committee that was appointed a week or two ago to consider the matter. That body has decideq, it is understood, that a mem- ber of congress cannot serve as an enlisted man or officer in the national guard, even in time of peace. This de- cision, it is believed, will be approved by the full committee on the judiciary. However, that is not deflnitely settled. The question was raised after the passage of the national defense act, which provides for federalizing the na- tional guard and for the federal gov- ernment paying its officers and men. The question’ was suggested by Repre- sentative Mann of Illinois, the repub- lican leader of the house, who intro- duced a resolution asking for an in- vestigation by the judiciary commit- tee. He did so because several mem- bers of congress had consulted with him about the propriety of members of the house continuing in the nation- al guard, in view of the pay provision of the law. These members had in mind the federal constitutional pro- hibition against a member of congress holding any other office under the fed- eral government. Among the men directly affected by the proposition were Senator Wads- worth of New York, who belonged to a cavalry troop in his state; Represen- tative Tilson of Connecticut, Reprec- sentative Nichols of South Carolina, Chiperfield of Illinois, and others. ‘Wadsworth Resigns From Militia. Before the committee could reach a conclusion about the matter the Mex- ican situation became critical and the president called out the national guard. This presented new complica- tions. In view of them Senator Wads- worth resigned his connection with the militia. His regiment had been called out. Representative Chiperfield took the position that if a member of congress were called out with his national guard organization he should resign either from congress or from the militia, which, since being called out, assumes the status of federal forces. But Chip- erfield is judge advocate of Illinois and was not called out, so he did not con- template resigning. Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut also reached the conclusion that a member of congress could not serve actively in the national guard after it is called out by the president for fed- eral duty. It was a big surprise to members of congress to hear that the judiciary sub-committee thought they could not serve in the militla even in time of peace and when the militia is not called into federal service. Not all of them are willing to accept this dictum. The committee’s position is under- stood to be that it is perfecly proper for a congressman to serve in an or- ganization of purely state troops. The new national defense act, however, un- dertakes to convert the state militia or national guard into a federalized body of men. This is not so complete- ly done, of course, that the guard ceases to be a state force except when called out by the president. How- ever, the provisions of the new law as to pay of militiamen, equipment, sup- ply, instruction and inspection of the guard by federal authority, and their subjection to various army regulations and requirements do appear to give the militia certain status under the federal government, unless the courts shall determine in some contested case “that the national defense law is void because it seeks to get around the pro- visions of the federal constitution holding that the militia or national guard are state troops. The theory of the national defense law seems to be that as its provisions for federalizing the militia are per- missive, and were favored by the na- tional guard when pending before con- gress, and merely exact certain re- quirements and conditions of federal control in return for federal assist- ance in the form of pay, equipment, instruction, et there is no violation of the constitution. 7 But the sub-committee of judiciary is said to be convinced that the na- tional guard, so far as it comes under the national defense law, is in effect a federal force. Therefore, the com- mittee is understood to have found that it is not lawful for a member of CONgT! to remain in the federalized militia, even in time of peace. ‘Whether this decision might be evaded by a member of congress de- clining to accept pay and other emol- uments that would belong to him if he were an ordinary member of the National Guard is a question about which members of congress differ. Representative Gardner of Massachn- setts says that a member of congress might continue in the guard if he does not accept pay. Representative Taggart of Kansas, chairman of the judiciary sub-committee, is willing to discuss the question with him. Representative Stiness of Rhode Island is inclined to believe that there is no difficulty about a member of | congress serving in the militia, es- pecially in time of peace. He 1s something of an authority on military law by reason of long service as judge advocate general of Rhode Island and member of the national guard of that state. Representative Tilson ‘wants to retain a connection with the national guard if practicable, in view of his long membership as lieutenant colonel of the Second Connecticut In- fantry, but he is not yet ready to an- nounce his decision as to what he will finally do. Another question that has arisen is the status of the adjutants general of the several states. Holding prominent positions in connection with the na- tional guard in ordinary times, they are left out in the cold under the president's recent call for the state troops to do federal duty. Not a single one of these adjutants general has been called out. None will be called out, war department officials say. The reason they give is that an adjutant general is an adminis- trative officer. The national . guard has been called out as tactical units, that is companies, regiments, brigades or divisions. An adjutant general does not belong to any of these, it is said. When the state troops are mustered into the federal service there seems to be no place for the adjutants general of the states. The army will supply adjutants gneral for the nationay guard in federal service. If the army is very largely increased by a call for volunteers it may be necessary to get some adjutants for duty with the vol- unteers, by reason of inability of the adjutants general for the national Jar*army to supply all the adjutants necessary for service through the pos- sible war. In that event state adjut- ants general might offer their services and these might be accepted, as the officers are trained and experienced to some extent in the duties of an adjutant. In northern states, it is understood the adjutants general are usually ap- pointed by the governors. In south- ern states they are elected at the polls like the governors are. The method of choice makes no differenc to the war department, which says that they have no place for the state adjutants | general at this time. The senate was not as with the militiamen’s fami house of representatives was. Repre- sentative Hill suggested that Y\ fam- ilies of the men called into tTie fed- eral service should be provided for and Chairman Hay of the military committee moved an amendment to the resolutiont authorizing the draft- ing of the militia, to provide an ap- propriation of $1,000,000 for the relief of their families. In the senate this was rgnended so as to excuse married men and others having dependent rel- atives from service under the presi- dent’s call. Representatives Hill, Tilson, Oakey and Glynn voted for the Tavenner amendment to the fortifications ap- propriation bill, which will have the effect of preventing the use of the stop watch and other schemes for scientific management of government industrial shops like navy yards, ar- senals and the like. Glynn Favors Intervention. Representative Glynn favors inter- vention by the United States in Mex- ico. Other Connecticut members here were non-committal on the subject when asked. Representative Tilson presumably favors it to some extent, as he joined his regiment with a view to service in Mexico if necessary. Representative Hill has introduced a bill to give the United States Court of Claims authority to hear the claim of William J. Casey of Norwalk, who was injured in national guard man- euvers several years ago. Such action will be obviated by an amendment to the draft resolution yesterday which gives the militiamen drafted in the Mexican emergency the same pension- able status as though they belonged to the regular army. Under this amendment their families will receive pensions if they die from injury or wounds received In the service, whether it be in camp for training, in maneuvers in the field, in patrol duty along the border, chasing ban- dits or fighting Carranza in Mexico. Senator Brandegee proposed an amendment to the sundry civil ap- propriation bill to provide $100,000 for work on the New Haven federal building, but that amendment will not be necessary, as on the same day a similar amendment was adopted to the same bill in the house, on motion generous es as the of Chairman Fitzgerald of the appfo- | priations committee. d The post office department: an- nounces that the number of families served by rural free delivery service in Connecticut increased from 37,172 | on March 1, 1913, to 42,506 on April o NG The department has rescinded an order of May 29 discontinuing the post office at Black Hall, New London County, Conn., which therefore is re- established. PRISONERS MADE FARMERS. Siberian Prisoners Are Sent Into Russia to Relieve Conditions. Harbin, June 26.—At least a quar- ter million of the prisoners of war and refugees which were in Siberia during the winter, have been sent back into Russia to do farm work. This has relieved the congested con- ditions in many districts and is les- sening the work of the foreign Red Cross officials who are endeavoring to make the life of prisoners more en- durable. It is estimated that there are still ceven hundred and fifty thousand refugees and prisoners in Siberia. Many. of these have been sent to re- mote places far away from the Trans- Siberian railway. American Red Cross workers are looking after the prisoners in the Amur river district of .Eastern Siberia. In the territory west of Harbin, the relief work is chiefly in the hands of the Swedish Red Cross . Workers of that organiza- tion are providing medical supplies and endeavoring to better the social conditions in prison camps. Miss Margaret Lee and her broth- ers, T. Frank and Robert E. Lee, are at their cottage st Easton Point gor the summer- | and ! black eve, { being drunk and Louis Maribelli, | machine: | rave BOYLE ARRESTED AS HE SITS IN COURT | Charles Brennecke Accuses Spec-f tator and Warrant Is Issued Following disclosures made in po- lice court this morning, James Boyle | was arrested on a warrant issued by Prosecuting Attorney George W. | Klett and will in court to- morrow appear morning to answer to a charge of assaulting Michael Frawley. | During the trial of Howard Smith and Charles Brennecke, each charged with assault, Brennecke declared that | @ Smith attacked him near park late Saturday night and that | Boyle stepped out from the crowd | and attacked Frawley. Boyle was in court as a spectator and was im- mediately placed under arrest. Officers Birmingham and McGrath arrested Smith and Brennecke at the ! corner of East Main and Laurel streets. Both men were fighting. Brennecke testified today that as he | and Frawley were passing Paradise park last Saturday night Smith, Boyle and Swanson were seated on the fence. He sald Smith hit him and Bovle jumped on Frawley, pulling his coat sleeve from the garment. When he saw who it was he had attacked Bovle said “Oh, that you Mike, if I'd known it was you I wouldn’t have hit you. You and I have been friends a long time.” Brennecke said Smith his gang followed him to East | Main and Laurel streets where Smith insisted on a fight. Smith put a different coloring to the story. He said that as Bren- | necke passed him he kicked his feet, which were in front of him as he sat on the fence. That precipitated the trouble and by agreement he went to Laurel street to “finish it out.” Boyle told Prosecutor Klett he did not want to take the stand in Smith's behalf. Smith was fined $10 and costs and previous probation was re- voked. Brennecke was given the ben- efit of the doubt and judgment Tas suspended. Gives Wife Black Eye. John Walsh, charged with assault- ing his wife, Layette Walsh, was fined $7 and costs and placed on probation. Walsh and his wife are estranged and Saturday night they met. During an argument Mrs. Walsh said her hus- band used her head as a punching bag and today she exhibited a very a split lip and evidences of a hattered nose. Walsh could not remember any of the trouble as he confessed to being drunk. Cobbler Kicks Out Intruder.” John Cunningham pleaded gullty to an East Main street cobbler, pleaded guilty to assaulting him. Facts in the case however, made a $3 fine for Cunningham visable and secured a discharge for the cobbler. Witnesses testified that Cunningham came into the cobbler shop to get a shine and after getting one insisted on another. Then he refused to leave the store. When Maribelli insisted that he get out and not use his store as a bed chamber, Cunningham abused him and threatened to beat him up. Then it was that the little son of Italy demonstrated his physical ability and threw Cunningham bodily through the door. Cunningham confessed to being drunk and denied all recollec- tion of what transpired in the shoe- maker's shop. Other Cases This Morning. Frank Wolfe, charged with refus- ing to move when ordered to do so by Officer Laroque, admitted his gullt and insisted that he is a taxpayer and dld not have to. He was given a warning and let go. Willlam Seward, arrested by Officer Hahn at 86 Elm street on complaint of Mrs. Seward, was fined $10 and costs. The man has been away from home for three months and returned Saturday only to make trouble. Frank Percofski was fined $3 and costs for assaulting Frank Sandskl and Steve Koloski in Bromberg’s sa- loon Saturday night. Officer Malona made the arrest.

DRINK TOASTS TO LOCAL SOLDIERS Second Warders Stop at Their Annual [ Banquet to Honor Soldier Boys Who Had Just Departed. The 200 members of the Second Ward Republican club, dining making merry at the Colonnade res- during and taurant Saturday afternoon annual outing, did not for a moment forget the boys of Company 12 and Company I who, a of hours before, had marched out to what may become war. Cheer after cheer was given for the “Boys of Company E and the Boys of Company IL.” Er- nest N. Humphrey led in the cheering for the soldier boys and First Select- man William H. Gibney of Berlin proposed a toast to the men in khaki. Every one of the 200 diners arose to quaff the toast. Patriotic songs were sung. The dinner served at the restaurant was one that pleased the palates of the most fastidious and the after dinner speeches by such men as Governor Holcomb, Lieutenant Governor Wilson, Frank Healey, Mayor Rice of New Ha- ven, Mayor Quigley of New Britain, Representative McGee of Watertown | and others were of the kind that all republicans enjoy hearing. Predic- | tions of a G. O. P. sweep this fall were made and there was also some criticism of the adminidtration for the manner in which the Mexican sit- uation has been handled from the start. Owing to tire trouble on the road, Mayor Quigley, President A. N. Ruth- | erford of the club, Howard M. Steele, Morris C. Webster and a couple of other guests were about an hour late in arriving, consequently dinner had to be delayed to await their ar- rival. Alderman M. Irving Jester, Charles Mueller and party did not arrive until the festivi- ties were over. Mr. Jester’s car, the first to leave New Britain, broke down in North Haven and did not arrive until the diners were through. their couple BULLET IS FATAL. Ossining, N. Y., June 26.—Daniel J.
