ILL GIVE CONGERT | FOR POLISH RELIEF hted Artists to Appear at Lycenn Next Tuesday Night Elaborate frde 1 preparations are being and concert that will Tuesday night at the fceum theater, the proceeds of which 11 be given for the relief of suf- ring Poland. Two of the greatest usicians in the United States will ap- ar in joint concert on that occasion. gismund Stojowski ‘a pianist of orld-wide reputation will render me of the most difficult passages er composed. His program will be ade up of excerpts from Chopin, hubert, Saint Saens, Verdi, Gounod, ploski, and many others. Aside from pis the noted musician will render Pveral of his own compositions. hose who have heard the eminent nist say there s only one other on par or above him—Paderewski. They e personal friends and by special Bquest Mr. Stojow will render hemes hy Paderewski. ‘With Mr. Stojowski on the same ogram for the relief of Polish suf- rers will be the noted baritone Tad- leus Wronsk!, as popular with his fwn people as is John McCormack pith the Irish. The possessor of a eep, resonant voice, with a wonder- 1 range and expres n, Mr. Wron- ki has selected for this occasion sev- al songs destined to appeal to all rusic lovers. He will sing an air from erdi’s opera, “Simone Boccanegra,"” nd then Mephisto’s Serenade from ounod’s “Faust.” The two numbers lone will attract lovers of grand bpera from far and near, and it is pxpected that many persons will jour- hey here from Hartford, Bristol and pther Connecticut cities. The concert at Lyceum Tuesday is pnade possible only after great exer- lon on the part of the Rev. Lucyan lojnowski, pastor of the Sacred Heart hurch, himself a native of Poland, hbnd a friend of the two great musi jans who will give their services free or this entertainment. All the oppressed countries of Eu- ope have especial appeal to the Amer- can people who ever sympathize with hose crushed beneath the heels of eater nations. The people of Po- and have suffered perhaps more than hose of any other nation in the war gone. Those who were born in that ountry and who have been making endeavors to alleviate the sufferings lof their people at home know full well the misery and devastation experi- enced by their kinsmen. The true story of Poland may never be written, the facts may never reach the outside world. But those who have any im- agination at all may picture the ter- rible things that have happened and are happening. And all such people ill lend a helping hand to those so- liciting aid for suffering Poland.

Asts Coben Motor Gar Co. to Submit Figures to Aaron G. Cohen and Nels J. Nelson, of the Cohen Motor Car company, are at present figuring on bids for the construction of 300 aeroplanes for the United States army Signal corps. The local men have the complete specifi- cations as sent by Alvin C. Voris of the 22nd United States Infantry, and will send in their bids to the govern- ment on October 12. Mnufacturers from all over the country are to bid for this contract, which calls for the delivery of eight complete aeroplanes within forty-five days after the con- tract is awarded and one every ten days from then on. The bids are to be made out sectionally, in lots of six, nine and twelve. In view of the fact that so many big manufacturers are to bid on this con- tract, the chances are that it will be awarded to concern which has sufficient financial assets to warrant their offering very attractive rates, but the fact that the government has seen fit to recognize the ability of the local men is a distinction in it- self. Should the local men be award- ed the contract they will raise suffi- ciert capital and immediately secure the use of some factory and begin work immediately. Prominent Aviators Coming. Mr. Cohen has just returned from New York where he spent several days on a business trip and while there he was in conferences with Stanley Y. Beach, head of the aero- plane department of the Scientific American, and a Russian aviator named Hollander. Mrs. Alys McKey- Bryant also consulted and the three some BRITAIN APOLOGIZES FOR HOLDING CEBU Says Action Was Due fo Fog 01f Coast ‘Washington, Sept. 21.—Threugh Ambassador Spring Rice, the British government has replied to the Ameri- can government’s protest against tne action of a British torpedo boat de- stroyer, which recently held up the Philippine steamer, Cebu, within the three-mile territorial limit, near Manila. The British government as- serts that it was an accidental in- fringement of American terntorial waters, caused by weather that made it impossible to see the shores. On instructions from Viscount Grey, the British ambassador expressed tne re- gret of the British government for the incident. The text of the British ambassador’s note was not made public. dowever, Secretary Lansing issued this formal statement paraphrasing the sense of the communication: “In regard to the case of the Phil- ippine steamer Cebu, which was held up and examined by a British cruiser one and one-half miles from Carabao Island, and within the territorial wa- ters of the Philippine Islands, the de- partment has received a note from ‘the British embassy stating that when the Cebu was boarded the land was hid- den, but as soon as the weather cleared and it was found that the ship was within territorial waters the boarding officers were recalled, and that the passenger list was examined, but the ship was not searched. On in- structions of Viscount Grey, the re- greats of his Majesty’s government were expressed at this accidental in- fringement of American territorial waters.” The Cebu incident was reported to the war department on Sept. 12 hy Francis Burton Harrison, governor general of the Philippines, whose dis- patch was immediately turned over to the state department and a protest was made to the British government. The Cebu was held up in latitude fourteen degrees sixteen minutes, longtitude 120 degrees thirty-five minutes, or one and one-half miles from Carabao Is- land, on Sept. 11, Inside the three-mile limit of neutral waters recognized by jnternational law as immune from bel- ligerent operations. The vessel was boarded by Lieutenant Bailes of the British destroyer No. 2, who apparent- ly was in search of a man named Bady, who was not found on board the Cebu. The British naval officer made in- quiries about the passengers aboard and took the passenger and cargo list and examined them. On releasing the Cebu the British lieutenant made this notation on her log: “Boarded at 3:50 A. examined and passed.” M., 9-11-16; London, Sept. 21 The holdir of the Philippine steamer Cebu i lieved here to have r ulted from ef- forts of British warships to capture a German reservist connected with a junta in Manila. The reservist was be- lieved to have been aboard the Cebu. He is said to be one of a number of Germans and Indians, making their headquarters in Manila for the pur- pose of sending guns to India and en- couraging a revolution there. In officlal circles here it is stated that Manila is not the chief center of these activities, but that the important branches also exist in the United States. The British parliament, it is sald, has made representations 10 will visit New Britain early next week to consult with Mr. Cohen and Mr. Nelson regarding a new aeroplane that Mr. Nelson is developing. Mrs. Bryant is also especially interested in the diving apparatus invented by the local men. Mrs. Bryant has attaned nation-wide prominence by her daring feats in the air and under the sea. She is well known as an aviator and at present is working at Black Tom Island, New York, where she dives daily, bringing up huge shells that were sunk during the big explosion of a few weeks ago. Local people are more or less familiar with Mrs. Bryant's reputation as a diver as the various pictorial weekly motion pictures have pictured her at work diving. Incidentally, Mrs. Bry- ant claims the distinction of being the only woman to be a licensed navigator and has a government license to navi- gate a ship. As soon as her contract at Black Tom Island expires she plans to go to Stratford, Conn., where she will have charge of an aviation train- ing school to be organized under the direction of Mr, Beach of the Scientific American, To Plan New Aeroplanes, Mr. Hollander, the Russian aviator, has several original ideas about aero- planes and with Mr. Nelson, who has a reputation as an aviator and a builder of aeroplanes, and Mr. Cohen will try to evolve some new ideas in heavier than air machines, NIGHT SCHOOL INSTRUCTORS.

I PLAN NO ASSAULT ON 8-HOUR LAW Some Railroafl Heads Will Vote® for Wilson’s Re-election New York, Executives’ Advisory Sept. 21.—The ‘Railway Committee, com= posed of executives of fourteen the yesterday, the largest railroad systems in United States, met the annoyncement that the rafi- road presidents were going to plan a way to nullify the eight-hour law proved an error. The eight-hour law received only perfunctory attention at the meeting, and the railway heads pent the day figuring on how to pre- sent to .the Newlands trarffsportatiofi committee of congress a case Strogg enough to get the federal reguia et they hope President Wi put through at the short session. It became known that not a small percentage of the railroad presidents in the committee who were bittér against Wilson three weeks ago when the eight hour law ws ssed to head off the railtvay brotherHoods from g national strike will vote for the presi# dent in November. ¢ E. P. Ripley, pr at 61 Broadway but g . sident of the Sa Fe, was still in belligerent mood about the cight-hou w..but the only action taken in reference to it wa$fo ask the national conference committee of railways to complete statistics shos- ing how much it would cost in actdal operation, whether trains could be speeded up to make present ten-hour runs in less time, and other details of the application of the eight-hour day. A soft pedal has been put talk about the “outrageousnes law which was indulged in wheny railroad pre September Two reasons have been suggested for this change of attitude: First, Sépaton Newlands and the majority of the members of his transportation com- mittee are members of the majomty which passed the eight-hour law, and it is from the Newlands committee that the railroads want” the recom- mendation for Federal regulation; sec ond, President Wilson promised when congress adjourned that at the short session he would advocate the passage of the remainder of his strike settle- ment program, which included com- pulsory investigation laws and an.s surance for the railroads that thed would be able to recompense them- selves by higher freight rates for thay additional cost of the eight-houf day In neither of these promises“would bitter at upon the eight-hour law, and its passage aid the cause of the railroads. It is known that this argu ment has been put forward by severall of the conservative railroad presidentsy If the eight-hour law is attacked and] declared unconstitutional the railroads face the same crisis with the brother: hoods as that which took them to Washington at the call of the pres dent in August; they would, further- more, have little chance of getting aj democratic congress to pass any fa vorable legislation in compensation fo the law if it were thrown out. If<thd law were attacked and upheld, then! these presidents argue, the railroadd would have hurt their case at Wash ington. Some of the railroad ure that if they can get federal regu lation and compulsory investigatio: the eight-hour day might not be sug a bad price for such progress, in vie of the fact that they have an excéllen| chance of getting higher rates an{ thus forcing the public to pay whe the eight-hour day would cost in am; event. It can be stated on the best of av thority that the chief efforts of thi best brains of the two railroads wi be devoted in the next two month not in framing an attack upon t eight-hour law, but in framing a goof case for Federal regulation, to whi they regard President Wilson as cor mitted. The Newlands committee was creaj ed in response to a suggestion President Wilson's address to coggre, last December for an inquiry into t whole transportation problem and t efficacy of present railroad laws.
