The coroner also made public his finding on the death of Albert Jacquemin of Torrington, who died after a fight with Stephen O’Shaughnessy. The coroner finds that the latter's acts were no more than self defense and required and exonerates him from responsibility for Jacquemin’'s death. ANOTHER NEAR TRAGEDY. Another near tragedy at the Main at 11 o'clock this morning. It is sald that as the Boston express sped into the city the gatetender neglect- ed to lower the gates until the train was well past Washington street and a warning-blast had been sounded by the engineer. ' Two trucks crossing the tracks had narrow escapes from heing run down by the ‘train. The episode was witnessed by Detective A. J. Richardson and Officer Anthony M. Bardin and I. Tempkin com- prise the faculty of the Hebrew sum- mer school which has opened -its sessions at the Talmud Torah Instl- tute building with an attendance of 134, MEXICO TO MAKE WAR ON GERMANY General Gonzales Selects Warm Residence for Kaiser El Paso, Tex., July 6.-—Since the pro-Ally campaign in Mexico was first started by “El Universal” in Mexico city the sentiment favoring the Allies has reached Northern Mexico, and during the last thirty days a well de- fined movement favoring an open hreak with Germany and the align- ment of Mexico on the side of the Entente Allles has developed. This has been in spite of the pro-German sentiments published daily in Chi- huahua City and in other papers be- lieved to be subsidized by the Ger- mans in the north. A reflection of thls sentiment was seen recently in the statement of Gen- eral Francisco Gonzales, acting com- mander in chief of the northeastern military zone, with headquarters at Chihuahua. He was overcharged by the German firm of Ketelsen & De- getau for some p@dlocks. The man- ager was arrested and placed in the penitentiary. The, German consul made a demand for his release “in the name of the imperial German government and the Kaiser,” accord- ing to a Mexican official who was present at the time. “Tell the German consul, he, the imperial government and the Kaiser may all go to hell,” General Gonzales answered. To Seize German Property. Prominent Mexicans, men in close touch with the Capitol, predict that Mexico will declare war on Germany within thirty days. According to these men, all German money in the Mexico City, Torreon, Chihuahua - City and other banks will be seized as soon as war is declared, the German boats in Tampico and other ports will be seized, thereby giving Mexico a much needed merchant fleet, and all Ger- mans will either be interned or de- ported at once, their properties be- ing confiscated. The Tampico oil fields would be made safe for the oil supply of the allied fleets by declaring a zone in which traffic would be re- stricted,” and the mines, smelters and mills re-opened at once to produce munitions metals for the allies. ‘“We can do nothing in a military way in Europe,” said one of them “But we can make Mexico safe for the allied nations and for their proper- ties. We can show our sympathy with the same cause for which we.have been fighting for the last six years by aiding the allies in every way, even though we are unable to assist ma- terially in the war.” The good effect of such a declara- tion upon the relations of Mexico and the United States, especially along the border, is pointed out. It would mean closer co-operation with Ameri- can officers in stopping the wholesale trafic in ammunition, cattle smug- gling, gun-running and all of the other violations of the laws along the border. Spending Money Lavishly. The anti-German movement is not unopposed in the north, as the Ger- man residents of Chihuahua City, Tor- reon an dother places have been spending money lavishly entertaining officials, army officers and influential citizens. But, with the usual German method, they seem to have overplayed their hand and brought about a re- action by causing the naturally sus- picious Mexicans to feel they had an ulterior motive in their friendship. Americans returning from Mexico City say sixty days will elapse before Mexico declare war against Germany. They say the German sentiment there is exaggerated and that the great mass of Mexican citizens are in sincere sympathy with the Allies. They also say the part General Obregon played in the pro-German agitation was exaggerated, as they claim his name was used by the Germans to lend dig- nity te the pro-German movement, and say the former war minister is a friend of Americans and the allies, There is no doubt the Germans have been using every possible effort to create German sentiment in Mexico, and, since the pro-Ally movement was started, to counteract the effects of this movement as it gained popularity. But, like the pro-German propoganda in the United States, the Germans Were apparently acting without tak- ing into consideration the racial traits and temperament of the Mexican people, who are as much opposed to the pan-German scheme of things as are the American FOOD HOARDERS AS TRAITOROUS WOMEN Mrs, Pennypacker Hits Hard in Advice to Sex Chautauqua, N, Y., July 6.—Women were urged by Mrs. Percy V. Penny- backer of Austin, Texas, former president of the American Federation of Women’s clubs, in an address she delivered today at the Speakers’ Train- ing camp for education in patriotic service, to ald in the war by con- serving food. “If we do our duty by our allies and the neutral countrie: over the seas, there will be this fall a serious lack of meat, potatoes and white flour,” said Mrs, Pennybacker. “In this dilemma the government makes a direct appeal to women. “First, it asks that we help the men to produce more. *‘Second, that we eliminate waste. “Third, the government asks that women substitute the cheaper foods for those that have grown costly. “Fourth, we are asked to conserve all fruits, and ‘'vegetahles that are pro- duced this summer for we sha]l not feel the full brunt of war prices until cold weather comes. “There is a concrete contribution that each of us can make, beginning today, toward the elimination of waste. A ‘war portion' should be our watchword at each meal. This does not mean hunger, it means taking on the plate only what we will consume, wasting nothing. “It becomes the solemn duty of every woman to keep hefore her the fact that this food campaign is not one of short duration. As long as the war lasts, we must ‘stand by our guns'; we must remember that for every man who goes to the front five people at home are needed to sustain him. Above all things, we must let it be known that no woman has the right to buy in large quantities and hoard food for her family. Some one has well said that ‘such a woman is at heart a traitor.” ‘““There was never greater need for women to be sane than at this hour. ‘There is no excuse for excitement or for hysteria. Let there be no weep- ing, no complaining, no lamentation, when our loved ones answer the call to duty.” TO BUILD NEW STORE. Simons Takes Out Permit After Be- ing Threatencd With Prosecution.. Impending prosecution of I and K. Simons for alleged violation of the building ordinance was stopped to- day when B. Steln took out a per- mit in hehalf of Mr. Simons. The permit calls for the erection of a one-story building in the rear of Myrtle street, to measure 45x225 feet. This building will be used by Ra- phael's Department store. The cost will be $18,000. About two weeks ago Mr. Simons | applied to Building Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford for a permit, but it was refused because the plans did not provide satisfactory sanitary ar- rangements. Subsequently, it is claimed, work on the foundation of the building was begun without a permit and prosecution was about to be started when a satisfactory ar- rangement was made. An automobile operated by M. P. Leghorn was struck and somewhat damaged on Hartford avenue near the Blake property by a car operated by Harry Ginsburg of this city yes- terday.
