IS INDIGTED Action 6rows Out of Religious Riots in That City Haverhill, Mass,, July 19.—The entire city government of Haverhill is . gharged “with neglect to suppress an umawful assembly” turned by the Essex indictments re- county grand jury at Lawrence in connection with the investigation of the rioting in Haverhill several months ago when Thomas Leyden of Samerville at- tempted to deliver an address on sec- tarian schools. Mayor Albert L. Bartlett and Alderman Roswell L. pWood, Christophier C. Cook, Charles Hayt, who is also commissioner of public safety, and Albert E, Stickney are named in the indictments, According to the district attorney’s office, this is the first time that such a charge has been brought against a municipal officer in this state. The statute under which the indictments are found provides for a fine of mnot *more than $300 as a penalty when any mayor, alderman, selectman, justice of the peace, sheriff or deputy sheriff have knowledge of “riotous or timul- tuous and unlawful assembly,” city or town where he lives, neglects to exercise his authority for its sup- pression. The rioting is alleged ta have taken Pepiace on the night of April 3, when several persons were attacked -and Leaten by a mob and considerable property damage was caused by stone | throwing. The announcement that a meeting would be held in Ci hall! that night at which Thomas Leyden of Samerville, regarded as an anti- . Catholic speaker, would discuss the )subje(‘t of state appropriations for sectarian schools, led to the distur- bance. The lecture was not delivered, as it was found that the crowd, num- | vering thausands, which attempted to enter the auditorium, was largely an- tagonistic to the speaker. For hours the building was besieged by a shout- ing mob, many windows in it were broken and rioters also attacked sev- eral private residences, including that ~30f the commissianer of public safety, Alderman Hoyt. It is expected that the cases will be beard in the superior court at Law- rcnce in September. -~ AUTOMOBILE BARGAINS 1914 Chevrolet Roadster. 1912 Henry Roadster ., , 1915 Dodge Touring. 1914 Ford Delivery. 1913 Coreja Roadster. 1911 De Deitrich Touring. +Gohen Motor Co. 307 CHURCH ST. in the | NINE FRENGHMEN TAKE 113 GERMANS Trick Holders of Fort and Make Garrison Prisoners Paris, July 19, 5:15 a. m.—One of the most striking episodes of the great Somme offensive was the taking of the field fort at Biaches and the gar- rison of 113 men by nine French sol- diers. The fort had resisted through- out the artillery bombardment and the infantry attacks had been checked by murderous machine gun fire. Ly a lucky chance a French ofiicer discovered the precious secret that the torrible bombardmert had made the fort valnerable at one point. Select- ing a second lieutenant, two sergeants, a corporal and four men, he led them on nands and knees through the long 21 to the spot where he knew tiiere was a breach in the defenses. They reached thetr objective point without the Germans learning of their approach. Abruptly three of the French offi- cers leaped into the work shouting in stentorian tones: “Forward with the bayonet!” and throwing bombs which exploded in the dugout. The other six daring Frenchmen remained be- hind ready to retreat if the attempt failed. But the Germans, taken unawares, had no time to get their weanons, and surrendered almost without a show of fight. When one of their number fell, shot by a revolver fired point- blank by the commanding French officer, the Germans, 112 in all, came out of their shelters and tarew up their hands, the French assert. The three French captors now be- gan to feel nervous, as they saw no reason why the Germans should not fall upon and exterminate them. But at this moment the other six joined in. Their resolute energy im- posed upon the Germans, who be- lieved that the new arrivals were fol- lowed by many others. The Germans officers in the fort then threw down their arms and the entire garrison was marched to the French rear, escorted by the nine captors, who had not lost a man. BIG PICNIC PLANNED. The picnic planned by the Hebrey War Relief Association at Quartet Club park for July 30 will be the biggest thing of the kind ever at- tempted here as arrangements have been made to provide for between five and six thousand people.

ELLIS ISLAND HEAD WORSE THAN PLAGUE Rep. Bennett Says He Is Greater Menace Than Paralysis Washington, July 19.—Charges against Frederick C. Howe, Commis- sioner of Immigration at New York, were made in a speech in the house late yesterday by Representative Wil- liam S. Bennet of New York, Repub- lican, who alleged that conditions of immorality had existed and still exist- ed at the Ellis Island immigration station as a result of Mr. Howe's ad- ministration. “A half-baked radical, with free love ideas,” was one of the terms used | by Mr. Bennet in assailing Mr. Howe. The New York member asserted that Commissioner Howe did not properly segregate the male and fe- | male ali held at Ellis Island, that | he had recommended the admission of immoral women under bond, that in one instance he caused the admis- i sion of an unde: able woman named Juliette, who was placed as a servant in the home of a friend of the com- missioner, and that the Howe admin- istration, if charges were not made, would become more a scourge to New York than infantile paralysis. Mr. Bennett gave the tron at | Ellis Island credit for correcting some | of the bad conditions as they were alleged by him to exist a year or | more ago, but id that other evils had taken their place. Mr. Bennet followed his speech by introducing a resolution calling upon the department of labor for informa- tion relating to various phases of Mr. Howe’s administration, including his plan to abolish competitive bidding in letting contracts for feeding immi- grants detained at the island and sub- stituting a scheme of government ownership of the restaurant privilege. His resolution demands a copy of an opinion of the department of justice on this point. Mr. Bennet said that he had been unable to obtain a copy of the opinton. | LAWN PARTY TODAY.

CLOTHIERS & FURNISHERS HARTFORD LYNN NEW YORK LIVE WIRE SYSTEM 250 ASYLUM STREET, HARTFORD PROVIDENCE POLAND PROSPERS UNDER GERMANS Dr. Helfferich Returns With Pleas- ant Picture of Unhappy Land Berlin, July 19, by Wirel ville.—Warm s to Say- n of the work done in Russian Poland by the Germans during the period of occu- pation was given by Dr. Karl Helffer- ich, the secretary of the interior and imperial vice chancellor, today, on his return from a visit to that country. Dr. Helfferich, who recounted the impressions of his visit to a member of the Overseas News Agency staff, contrasted the condition of the coun- try under Russian rule with the state of affairs ther n time peace, the R hod neglected the country, s r. H h. Then came a period fo hostilitics which had devastated the land. TUnder these conditions the Germans took up the work, which the vice chancellor insist- ed has been accomplished with a suc- cess which could find few parallels in history. The retreating Russians, Dr. Helf- ferich pointed out, had burned vil- lages and towns and destroved the harvests. The Germans first huilt roads through the devastated terri- tory and supplied cattle and seeds to the inhabitants,w iht the result that now one frequently could see herds of a hundred or more cattle, while ficlds of standing grain were on all sides. He cited an instance of aid given the inhabitants by the Germans, the farmers of one district being left the horses of two regiments for firld work on orders given by Gen. Ludendorff. Helfferich said he found schools ¢here now, cven at places where commendati of | none were maintained when the Rus- sians ruled the country. The Univer- sity of Warsaw, where lectures were given in the Polish tongue had a large number of students. All nationalities, Dr. Melfferich | said, were given equal recognition with the white Russians and l.ithuan- jans. Terrible suffering existed among the Jews when the Germans < the vice chancellor declared, and in | most towns they had been excludea from the schools by the Russians. The Germans, he added, introduced self-government in the -ountry f the first time and admiited Jewish representatives to the governmental bodies. SO MOR HIPS NEEDED.
