MINERS ASK WAGE INCREASE President White Tells Operators Raisc Granted Last Year is Sufficient for Present Conditions. New York, April 21.—Contending that the wages agreed upon last year for the 173,000 miners in the Penn- sylvania anthracite fields were insuffi- cient to meet the demands of present conditions, President John P. White of the United Miner Workers of America, at a conference here today between operators and miners, asked for an increase of approximately 20 per. cent. This was the amount granted last week by the mine owners to 225,000 miners of the mid-western bituminous fields. The shortage of labor in the an- thracite flelds is understood to be be- coming more acute and this, taken with the unprecedegted demand for hard coal and the result of the bitu- minous wconference, led to the belief that amicable agreement speedily would bé reached. » FOOD COMMITTEE MEETING.

FIRE DESTROYS' AUTO. g R Hauled in Flames from Garage, Which Is Saved. Believed to have beer caused by backfire following overhauling in preparation for spring work, fire prac- tically destroyed a Pullman truck owned by Louis Nair in a garage at 46 Francis street about 7:3¢ o’clock this morning. But for quick work by members of Engine Co. No. 3, the garage would have been - seriously damaged, if not destroyed, and prop- erty in that vicinity gravely threat- ened. Over forty-one gallons of chemicals were used in checking the flames. Information was telephoned to Sergeant George J. Kelly at police headquarters to the effect that an auto truck was on fire and threaten- ing a garage. Chief Robert M. Dame was notified at fire headquarters and rushed Engine Co. No, 3 to the scene. The firemen, in order to save the building were compelled to push the blazing truck from the building into the open.

Patrick Shanahan, Following an illness of about five weeks with pneumonia and compli- cations, Patrick Shanahan of 93 Lafayette street ,aged 73 years, for years employed as a moulder at the plant of the Corbin Screw Corpora- tion, died at New Britain General hos- pital last night. He was born in Ire- land. Two daughters and a son, the latter being Thomas Shanahan, well known groceryman, survive. The fu- neral will be at 9 o'clock Monday morning from St. Mary’s.church and the burial will be in St. Mary's old ‘cemetery béside the grave of his wife. | City ltems [ Former Senator Michael Quinn of New Haven renewed acquaintances in . this city today. | A detail of soldiers this afternoon arrested Edward Marion, the youth who was arrested Thursday night on | the bridge at Middletown by soldier guards. The youth is believed:to be mentally unbalanced. In addition to the $5,000 left to the Children’s Home in her will, the late Mrs. Sarah A. Strong, a short time before her death, gave $5,000 more to this worthy institution. ALGOHOL AND FEAR SEEDS OF CONARDICE Responsible for Most Court Mar- tials in France Paris, Aprl] 21.—Two-thirds of the court martial cases at the war front and immediately behind the front have developed from either drunk- enness or fear, sometimes from both, according to Monsier Rene de Plan- hol, who has had more than two years’ experience as counsel for the defense in such cases. Drum-head court martials, with summary executions of. spies and deserters, have been far less frequent than might be imagined. Not only have sentences to death been infrequent, but, extraordinary as it appears, the verdicts of justice at the front are seldom executed. The general in command of the sec- tor has the power of suspending all court martial sentences until the end of the war, and he exercises that pre- rogative nearly always, even in cases of second offences. The only penal- ties immediately applied are those of death and punishment that involves military degradation. Even in these cases the condemned man usually begs to be sent back to the battle line, and his request is sometimes accorded af- ter aicertain lapse of time. Few Prison Sentences. Sentences to prison and hard labor are few. It is considered absurd to lodge in prison rugged soldiers whose Three 'of the scenes in the monster New York parade, containing 60.000 marchers and lasting five hours, are shown in the pictures. They are: No. 1, members of the Bohemian National alliance, with their families, who favor independence of the Czechs from Austro-Hungarian rule;: No. 2, hool girls bearing. large ~American flag in parade; No. 3, a sturdy' Scotch Ameri¢ail in highland garb. = misdeeds would thus have the effect of relieving them from fighting, w) well-behaved soldiers are risking their lives, That is why military jurisdic- tion at the front has become essen-* tially a jurisdiction of honor. The changed conditions of warfare have developed situations to which old martial laws are not adaptable. A much disputed point is: When has an infraction of disciline or a crims been committed “ in the presence of the enemy,” an aggravating circumstance under military jurisprudence. In trench warfare the old definitions of “presence of the enemy” have become obsolete; great latitude is now given for leniency on this point and it is exercised in all but the most flagrant cases. Under the old martial laws the sus- pension of sentences-for first offences was not obligatory, but was simply u matter of discretion on the part of the general commanding, Amend- ments passed by parliament in the course of the present war make such extensions of sentence obligatory for all cases excepting those of capital offence. Drunkenness, the most frequent of all infractions of law and discipline, is punished by imprisonment from two months upward. Rough, But Good Fighters. A frequent and effective means of defense invoked by counsel for ac- cused soldiers is the citation for gal- lant conduct on the battlefield. It often happens that a soldier refrac- tory to army discipline is a great fight- er and between court martials ac- cumulates honors and_ decorations that it is difficult to ignore. One of the most obstinate drinkers and most insolent men of his regi- ment when under the influence of liquor, went back to the front by favor ‘of a suspended sentence and won the signal honor of an individual citation in an engagement in which his regiment was collectively cited. He appeared before the court mar- tial with a new bar on his war cross ribbon, and his judges couldn't re- fuse his request for “‘another chance Presented With Gold Watch am Chain and Roses < As a token of appreciation of fi years of service at Landers, Frary Clark’s, Henry Fagan, superint dent of that concern, was today Pr@s sented with a handsome gold wa and chain by the officialss In ad tion to the gift of the company m that have served under him in factory gave him a beautiful boug of fifty roses.

SEPARATE PEACE IS t Meyer London Informed It ¥avo Peace on Basis of Free Devel- opment of Nations. , Petrograd, via London, April 21— The official news agency téday gave s the following statement: s “Replying to Congressman- Meyer; London (of New York) who asked for: a denial that the Russlan soclalists favored a separate peace Wwith Ger- many, the executive council P egraphed: 3 L “ ‘As has been stated in a declara- tion of the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers’ Delegates, the entire Rugs siah revolutionary democracy does nqt. seek a separate peace but favors peace without annexations or indemnities, & real or disguised, on the basis of the free development of nations and'con- siders that the proletariat of every country should do its utmost to m:m;- peace on the above basis.’ * It was announced in Washington April 19 that Representative London, the only soclalist member of conj ‘had cabled N.

Men who have fought bravely in numerous actions, he says, finally give way to what he calls “nerve wea: their moral cour- age is no longer sufficient to over- come physical fear and‘they run away from danger. Their number, though, is small in comparispn with those who forget their duty in the stupefaction of excessive drinking. Even these, considering the millions of men mo- bilized, are so small a percentage as to constitute no reflection on the army as a whole. Anyone from a private to a colonel may act as a defender of the court martialed soldier. Civilans also are allowed to represent them and some eminent French lawyers, such as Maitre Demange who was the chief counsel for Captain Dreyfus, Maitre Micvhel Pelletier, and Maitre Henri Gerand have acted as counsel for the defense of soldlers at the front. abutements of the bridge over Mood- na Creek at .New Windsor.
