Satisfaction Guaranteed WOODS ON STAND IN POLIGE PROBE { Commissioner First Witness at Grand Jury Investigation New York, July 6.—Police Com- witness yesterday at the grand jury inquiry, ordered by Govengor Whit- man for the purpose of discoverinz whether the failure to find the body of Ruth Cruger and her murdered, Alfredo Cocchi, were due to wilfull negligence on the part of any members of the police depan« ment. Commissioner Woods, as the source of authority in the police depart- reut, was called first, to lay before the grand jury the directlions given by him personally during the search for the missing girl, and to define the duties of the different policemen, detectives and police department of- ficials who worked on the case. upon Commissioner Woods' attention within twenty-four hours after the disappearance of the girl and that he took airect personal control of the search was brought before the grand jury, when a letter was submitted to it which was written on Feb. 14, day after the girl disappeared, by George H. Olney, a friend of the Cru- ger family. In thig letter Mr. Olney described the hig#i character of the missing girl and begged that a vigor- ous search for her be started at once. The letter was ,among the papers turned over to Commissioner Wall- stein by the police department. Commissioner Woods refused yes- terday to say anything about his tes- timony before the grand jury, but when he was questioned in his office at police headquarters, he admitted that he had received this letter and had regarded it as such importance that, instead of of sending a written reply, he had telephoned at once per- sonally to Mr. Olney and promised immediate action. On that same day Commissioner Woods sald that he had sent Deputy Commissioner Guy Scull to interview Mr. Olney and had or- dered energetic detective work to find the girl or ascertain her fate. This all occurred on Feb. 14, the day after Ruth Cruger disappeared, and the day before Alfredo Cocchi took flight. Commissioner Woods signed a watv- er of immunity, which will be re- quired of each of the many witnesses who go before the grand jury. He did not complete his testimony yes- terday and will go on the stand later, having been excused from appearing again today, becausg he is to attend the funeral of Policeman Flood, who was killed in the performance of duty. Deputy Commissioner Guy Scull is on the list of witnesses to be called today. Assistant District Attorney Al- fred J. Talley, who is in charge of the grand jury inquiry, said yesterday that the hearing was almost certain to last a full month. The grand jurors had not intended to meet yesterday and had to be called together by special messengers from the district attorney’s office. Before the taking of evidence started Judge John F. MclIntyre of the court of general sessions read them the follow- ng: Gentlemen of the grand jury, it has come to my attention during the last few days that the gov- ernor of this state has taken offi- cial notice of the Ruth Cruger case, and, among other things, he says that is the duty of the dis- trict attorney to conduct a thor- ough, a perfect, and a complete examination. 1 want to ask you to give the district attorney of this county all the ald that you can possibly, consistently, too, with the facts that may be developed and dis- closed before you. I want to say to you, in addition, that, if there is any dereliction of duty on the part of any police official, no matter who he may bhe, in connec- tion with this case, it amounts to a failure on the part of the po- lice department or some one con- nected with it to perform a public duty, and if you have evidence hereafter brought before you to establish the fact that I have just mentioned, it becomes your duty to indict. The statute under which indict- ments will be s=ought, if intentional negligence is shown, is Section 1,841 of the Penal Code, which reads as follows: “A public official or person holding a public trust or employment, upon whom any duty is enjoined by law, who wilfully neglects to perform the duty, is guilty of a misdemeanor. MURDER INQUIRY CONTINUED. Dedham, Mass., July 6.—Additional witnesses were on hand ready to tes- tify when the grand jury today re- sumed consideration of the murder of Mrs. Pauline Keyes at Brookline, on June 19. The woman's husband, George H, Keves, who was examined yesterday was here again today pre- pared for possible further testimony. Miss Harriet A. Varney charged with the murder is in the county jail here. When she was arraigned and pleaded not guilty last week her case was continued for a further hearing to- day.

HOLLANDERS’ 82-88 ASYLUM STREET, HARTFORD. THE DAYLIGHT STORE BOY SCOUT NEWS Troop 9. Assistant Scoutmaster Voight entertained Troop 9, and Scout Executive Skinner at his home last Friday evening. The first part of the evening was devoted to games and Victrola selections, after which re- 'freshments were served, Troop 11. At the last weekly meet- ing, having no very important busi- ness, we all declared war on a water- melon, contesting for a sécond and third piece by having the most num- ber of seeds in the first piece, Last Saturday our Scoutmaster was tied in a square knot, spliced ,or rather mar- ried. The troop was invited to the wedding and appeared in full uniform, making a very good showing. They were in charge of the patrol and as- sistant pgtrol leaders of the Flying Eagle patrol. These held the boys in check as they wanted to do their little part of throwing confetti, but owing to the enormous price of paper the two leaders thought they would be “economical.”” Fourth of July a por- tion of the troop spent the day in their potato patch in Hart's lot. We all pitched in like good fellows and at & o'clock we had something to show for our hard day’'s work. ‘“Man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow,” and so shall Scouts be prepared ta harvest what they sow, We would like to say with all Scouts and Scout- masters, who will certainly join in with us, that we thank those who were responsible for the cultivating done for us which was such a great 1ift, for the boys pitched in with de- cided more vigor. About the prizes for the best plot, our boys believe we are in line for one of them and they certainly are trying to do “their bit,” to win one of them. At this oppor- tunity we ask all our parents to visit our gardens so they may see and be proud of their boys. They certainly will appreciate our effort in’ this line. Troop 10. A farewell banquet was tendered Scoutmasters Martin \ and Jack Horwitz, last Sunday evening at the Jewish Synagogue, in honor of their enlistment in the federal service. Scout B, Chernoff was toastmaster. Toasts and farewell speeches were given by many of the Scouts. Vocal selections were rendered by a well known Scout trio, Scouts Horwitz. Leibowitz ,and Kolodney, who sang many of the patriotic songs of the day. H. Lindemann gave vocal and clarinet solos while Scout Segal entertained with violin selections. The Scout- masters responded to the call of the toastmaster and talked on the future welfare and past successes of the Troup. An overnight hike was held at Quartet Park, July 3. The Scouts did excellent service in the picnic at Quartet Park July 4. Troop 2. This troop’s band was invited to go to Berlin on July 4th. Accordingly, early Wednesday morn- ing, the fellows left for that town. The band marched through Berlin, | and later escorted the Home Guard to the fair grounds where they played during a military drill. In the eve- ning the troop did extensive work at ‘Walnut Hill Park during the band concert. There was a scoutmasters supper held in the Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening, it was voted to discontinue the scoutmasters suppers until the first of September. So many of the scoutmasters and their assistants are away on their vacations it did not seem advisable to continue them dur- ing the months of July and August. Although there will be no suppems during this time, the scoutmastess will meet every two weeks at the scout gardens, bringing their own lunch. With returns still incomplete, the national council reports $17,666.00 in Liberty Bonds secured through the solicitation of the Boy Scouts. It is impossible to say exactly what. the total will show, but it is estimated that it will not be over $20,000,000.00. ANDERSON BROS, RETIRE. Main Street Clothiers Dispose of Their Business. Anderson Bros.' clothing store, for many years one of the leading estab- lishments of its kind in*#he city, lo- cated in John A. Andrews’ block at 132 Main street, will cease to exist after August 1, an important trans- action having been completed during the past few days. Mr. Andrews, who conducts a furniture and under- taking business, has for some time felt the need of more room for his business, and has entered in an agree- ment with Anderson Bros. for taking over the lease held by them. The stock and fixtures of the clothing store have been disposed of to Herbrt A. Whiting of Boston, and Daniel A.. Sullivan and Fred R. Rhodes of Brooklyn, N. Y., who will take over the place op July 16. The members of the retiring firm 'have not as yet formulated plans for the future. Y BUSY WEEK FOR ELKS.

Y., July special message to the Training Camp for Patriotic Educa- tion, Secretary of the Interior Lane Yesterday afternoon said: “Those gentlemen of the Ages who poured burning lead besieged walls upon their enemies were amateurs. We are sclentists. We sweep a field of ten thousand young college students with poisoned gas. We spray with burning liquid those who come near us and from a mile in the air let fall bombs on babies in schoolhouses. The captured soldiers are tortured, not a la Iroquise, but a la Junker.

There 13 but one answer—the will of Germany to make subject the world. “The United States would not sur- render to Germany what it had fought England to win—our rights upon the sea. The United States would not stand aide with indiffer- ence until the world 'had been strangled into ‘submission. The great republics of the world would have gone down, and we would stand in isolated terror. To meet this invasion of our rights we have gone abroad, where the war is being fought—to keep it from being fought where the stubborn, short-sighted George III. fought his with us, in New York, New Jersey and Virginia. The power that threatens us is in Europe, and there we have gone to meet it with Persh- ing and with Sims.” In an address at the training camp, Dr. Toyokichi Iyenaga, lecturer on political science at the University of Chicago, and Director of the East and West News Bureau, New York city, reviewed Japan's position in the war, saying the Mikado's govern- ment could not send troops to Eu- rope because of the shoftage of ship- ping, and concluded with this refer- ence to democracy: “We are fighting to majke the reign of democracy safe in the-Norld, and save it from becoming. the autocracy.

Hoffmann's Baken 62 West Main St.-TWD STORES-95 Arch be a republic or a constitutional mon- archy, democracy is enthroned in the country where social equality instead of feudal aristocracy -prevails; where one's real merits count more than rank or family pedigree; where every individual has the right to the full enjoyment of life, liberty, and the 7 ursuit of happiness, and is no slave of a dominant caste; where ‘right’ rules over ‘might’ and militarism is not the controlling force; in shori, where justice, liberty, equality, and humanity are made the basic princi- ples of the’ state. “In this sense, the present-day Ja- pan is as much a‘democracy as the United States, England, France, Italy and the newly-born democracy of Russia. Japan reveres her sovereign, the Mikado, for he personifies the sancity of law, order, and discipline. Japan has a strong centralized gov- ernment, and an efficient army and navy. Do these elements, however, constitute an utocracy? Thousond times, no. Are they not the essen- tials of success, especlally in time of war, in every democracy? I have made this digression, for much ink has been spilt to put Japan in the ranks of autocracy and thus iso- late her from her allies or cool their ardor toward her. “America and Japan cherish the same ideals, and it is only befitting for them to join hands and work with all the energy and resources they have at command for the’ successful conclusion of the tremendous issue they are now facing.” SANTTARY CORPS PRESENTED.
