PULLAR & NIVEN: ~ PRESS NOT GUILTY OF AIDING ENEMY Lord Northclxfie Would Examine All Mail Sent ¢o Spain Washington, July 7.—Lord North- cliffe, head of the British missions in this country has authorized publi- | cation of parts of a ,-confidential speech on spies and ¢s~sorship made to the National Press club July 4. He described the work of spies in England and the flood of fatal in- formation that pours over the cables through neutral countries to Ger- many, and spoke of the dangers of any except technical military or naval censorship of the press. Only twice in the last manth, he said, had be seen anything published in Amer- lcan newspapers that might have been of value to the enemy. In his address he said: “What does not yet seem to be understood here, and what we did not understand at the beginning of the war, is that the really deadly high explosive news 1is not newspaper news but the news sent out by spies sin code to neutral countries for transmission to Germany. ‘‘Admitted that the task of exam- ining hundreds of thousands of cables a day is difficult and costly. Admitted that keen brains are required in large numbers for the task. The brains are here in abundance and the outgoing cables can easily be co- ordinated so that all cables addressed to the same names abroad and even to the same towns abroad come under the eves of the same censors week after week. It is by means of check- ing back cables addressed from Eng- land to neutral countries that we have caught many of our spies. “It is not difficult for spies to get news. Their task is the delivery of the goods, and to that task they con- zentrate. “Now that ocean travel Has be- come so difficult, now that the British ' mail censor has perfected his meth- ds, the enemy spy working in your midst is thrown back entirely on the cable and one or two steamer routes. “I do not know whether you have 1 mail censorship on letters to Spain, out I venture to think that if you have not and start opening letters to that country you will get as rich a bhaul of information as our Secret Service department did out of censor- ng of American letters to Europe.

PERLMAN ARRESTED ON PERJURY CHARGE Couldn’t Remember Details of Being in Custody in London New York, July 7.—Louis Henry Perlman, until a few days ago Presi- dent of the $8,000,000 Perlman Rim Corporation, and reported to have re- ceived more than $4,000,000 in three Yyears on patents for demountable au- tomobile wheel rims, was held yester- day before Federal Commissioner Hitchcock, on a Government warrant charging him with perjury. Assistant Federal Attorney Harper said the warrant was issued last Monday by Judge Learned Hand, in the District Court, and ever since then he sald, Deputy Marshals had looked for Perlman in vain at his town and country houses and at his suite of offices at Fifty-elghth Street and Broadway. Mr. Harper asked that bail be fixed at not less than $50,000 asserting that in 1895, in London, England, Perlman jumped a $5,000 bail bond when ac- cused by the British postal- authori ties of a lottery swindle. Perlman, Mr. Harper, told the Com- missioner, ceaged, about the middle of last month, to be President of the Perlman Rim Corporation, receiving $1,000,000 in cash and $1,000,000 in securities of the corporation when he quit it. Mr. Harper added that Perl- man collected last year over $3,500,- 000 in royalties on his firm patents. Bail was fixed at $10,000, which was furnished by a surety company, and Perlman departed. & The perjury charge alleges that June 7 last, when testifying .before Judge Hand in a patent infringement suit by the Perlman Rim Corporation against the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Perlman swore falsely that he did not remember his London ca- reer. The question put to Perlman, be- fore Judge Hand, was whether he had not been arrested by a policeman in ndon, Jan. 17, 1895, in company with Edward Ames Webber, and held for examination at the Bow Street Court on a charge of swindling by mail in connectlon with the promo- tion of a concern known as the Oxy- zone Company. “I have no recollection of that in- cident,” was Perlman’s answer. “Do you or do you not remember that you were two months in jail in London?” “I don’t recall. I cannot deny what I do not remember.” “Don’'t you know, said Martin W. Littleton, counse]l for the Firestone Company, “that when you went away from Jersey City, before you went to London, you were operating what is known and well known as the green goods game?"” “That I absolutely deny.” “Didn’t you know a man Kelly in Jersey City 2" “I knew such a man, but I operated no green goods game with him.” According to information from the London authorities and the United States consular officials in that city Perlman was indicted on a charge of getting money by mail under false pretenses. He was bound over for trial and jumped his bail. STEAMER ORLEANS SUNK She Was First Vessel to Go Through U-Boat Zone With Amerlcan Flag Following Kaiser’'s Note. named Washington, July 7—The American steamship Orleans of the Oriental Navigation company, which was the first ship flying an American flag to brave a transatlantic voyage after Germany announced her ruthless sub- marine warfare policy last January, has been torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine. Four of the crew were drowned, but all the members of the armed naval guard were saved. The state department, in announcing the sink- ing, withheld the time and place of the attack. When the Orleans, which was a vessel of 2,898 tons gross, formerly known as the Avellaneda and later i as the Menaptha, arrived at Bordeaux in February, she was welcomed with a great demonstration. $7,000,000 IN GIFTS, to Charity and Education. 7.—The will Oliver Hazard Payne, died at his home, 852 Fifth venue, | | | Colonel Payne Generous | | New Colonel York, July of who in this city, on June 27 makes cash bequests of more than $7,000,000, largely to charitable and educational institutions according to a summary made public yesterday.

Mayer in the Federal District court, charged with con- spiracy to obstruct the operation of i the military laws of the United States, ter the exposure of the recent abor- | tive peace maneuver. Die Zukunft refuted the Zeitung’s humanitarian pose and said early peace was only possible by Germany crushing her enemies or joing her efforts to these of the majority of the world. “It is only this second miracle that is obtainable by human . strength,” Die Zukunft points out adding that the aims of Germany's enemies are the right of nations to self-government, honest and not merely specious di- minution of armaments, an arbitra- tion court to decide who is guilty of starting them; a bond of nations to carry out the court’s decision, and the | creation of a situation which would remove the decision of peace or war from the will of one mortal and place it in the hands of the community. “If,” continues the paper ‘‘Germany | sees celestial signs shining over these aims, then peace is attainable tomor- row; but if a situation for which millions of people have yearned ap- | pears ignominious to her, she must | continue to fight until one group con- | quers and the other sinks down.” REFUSED TO BUDGE FROM HAPPY HOME Boarder and Landlady Air Griev- ances in Police Court Because it seemed a case of “your former friendship had'faded; give me back my gold,” Julius Jackawatiz of Winter street was freed from charges of having assaulted his former land- lady, Mrs, Mary Zembko, when ar- raigned on a continued hearing be- fore Judge James T. Meskill in po- | lice court today. He was represent- ed by Attorney A. A. Greenbersg. Prosecuting Attorney George W, Klett recommended the entering of a | nolle after testimony was introduced. Mrs. Zembko testified the accused proved to be an "old man of the sea’” when she tried to get rid of him as a roomer Thursday, refused to de- | part and used objéctionable language to her and in her presence. She said she called a policeman twice and each time the accused promised to go without further trouble. He did not, she testified, but used force when she tried to replevin a sweater she had given him as a gift some lime; prior to the trouble. She acknowl- edged she used her hands in such a manner the accused’s face was no- ticeably scratched as a result of his trying forcibly to retain possession of the sweater. She contended his for- cible handling caused mourning col- ors to arise on her arms and other parts of her body. It was not the water wagon Traffic Supervisor Clarence Lamphere chased vesterday afternoon when Harry Price, partner in a New Haven auto- mobile concern, was summoned into court for violation of the motor ve- hicle statutes relative to use of an automobile truck for commercial purpose with dealer's license mark- ers used and the use of cardboard license markers instead of the type provided for in the state regulations. Price said he operated the truck to this city yesterday as a demonstration for the Yale Brewing company of the Elm city to bring a load of beer for distribution and the return of empty bottles. He admitted being a part- ner in the cencern-owning the truck but claimed the demonstration was for the benefit of his partner, who had signified his intention of buving out the Price interests. A fine of $20 and costs was imposed. L. A Wood of New Haven admitted | partner of Price, contended the use of the truck was a demonstration, pure and simple, but admitted the lodd of beer carried weighed about 7,950 pounds, was to be paid for by the brewing company at the rate of 17 cents a pound. the profit from the trip would have betn over $20. Attorney Greenberg contended a too-strict in- terpretation of the newly enacted mo- tor vehicle law was being made oper- ative but made no answer when con- fronted with the admitted testimony of the accused to the effect he and Wood are still partners. Asked if Price was to have received any of the $20, or more remuneration for the trip, Wood said “not if I know it, this has already cost me enough in time lost, expenses and the like.” He ap- peared to have little sympathy for his alleged partner, Convicted of having violated a city ordinance in leaving a horse un- hitched so that it wandered away and interfered” with traffic on Main street, Louis Bayer of 238 Chapman street was fined $56 without costs. He con- tended the vehicle was properly sup- plied with weight-restraining equip- ment but that it must have become mysteriously released without his Knuwledge. Policeman Anthony We- linczus testified there was no sign of any weights when the.horse and ped- dler’'s wagon wandered along Main street towards Church street. Traffic was much inconvenienced.

Judge Mayer is expected 'to conclude his charge about 4 o'clock, after which the Yate of the defendants will be in the hands of the jury. The hearing was resumed yesterday morning with Leonard D, Abbott, an official of the No-Conscribtion league and a prominent person in anarchist circles, on the stand. His direct ex- amination .by Miss Goldman and Berkman was concluded on Thursday, and yesterday morning he faced the crossexhmination of Mr. Content. Abbott is also president of the so- called Free Speech League, and is a head master of the Ferrer school. Mr. Content read parts of numerous articles written by Abbott, some of them having appeared in Mother Earth, the anarchist pamphlet of which Emma Goldman is the editor. Mr. Content asked Abbott to recall some of the utterances he made at a meeting in . Union Square in 1914, which was held after Arthur Caron and two other anarchists had been killed by the premature explosion of a bomb which they were making. The police have intimated that the bomb ! was to have been used against John | D. Rockefeller. In his speech at the time Abbott said that the “comrades’ had been killed by the bomb which they had prepared to use on ‘the enemy.” The anarchists at that time were' making demonstrations against Mr. Rockefeller because of the Colo- rado mine disorders, which they tried to make appear was due to his in- terest in those mines. “I believe with all my heart in re- sistance on all occasions,’”” was an- other quotation read from Abbott's | writings by Mr. Content, In answer to a question by Judge Mayer,. Abbott said that some of the statements read by Mr. Content were writings of. Thomas Jeffer- son. They were ‘“paraphrased.” he said. “You have no recollection Thomas Jefferson ever talked that about bambs, have you?” Judge Mayer. “No, 1 have not,” after a pause, Reginald S. jurors, wanted that like asked Abbott admitted, James, one of the to know about the He asked the witness if the Ferrer school does not teach | that governments should be abalished. Abbott admitted that such case. “And when yvou say was the that govern- | ments should be abolished does that include the United States?’ James. “It does,” Abbott replied Shortly after 4 o'clock, during the afternoon session, a band in City Hall park, which was there in connection with the arrival of the Russian Mis- sion, began playing “The Star Spangled Banner. Everybody.in the court room except Berkman, Miss Goldman, and flve of the spectators stood up. The court attendants paid no attention to the defendant’s atti- ture, but they made the five specta- tors, two of them women, leave the room. With the conclusion of Abbott's cross examination Berkman and Miss Goldman announced that their case wasg closed. Mr. Content then called Edward Paddell, a stenographer, as a government witness in rebuttal. He testified that he had attended several meetings recently at which Miss Gold- man spoke, and faid that he had made stenographic records of her speeches. He quoted her as having said at one of these meetings that she believed in violence and that she and her follow- ers would. if necessary, use force to obtain their rights. The summing up of the case begins at 10:30 o'clock Monday morning, asked Mr. Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. WOMEN CONFESS TO MURDERING CHILD Eight Year Old Girl, Crippled By In- fantile Paralysis, Pounded and Choked to Death. St. Johnsbury, Vt., July 7.—The po- lice and county authorities resumed today the search for the body of li tle Olive Bradshaw, who is believe; to have been murdered, State’s Attorney Campbell and County Sheriff Wilbert Worthen an- nounced last night that Miss Etta May Hicks and Mrs. Alvin Kenniston had confessed that they had killed the ecight year old girl by beating and choking her. According to their al- leged admissions, Miss Hicks, house- keeper for the child’s father, John M. Bradshaw, a house painter, wished to get rid of the girl because she was uring of caring for her. The girl was made a cripple by infantile paral- ysis a year ago. Examination of a rock pile where one of the women is alleged 1o have sald the body was hidden, failed to re- veal any trace of it. The other woman is said to have made a conflicting statement ax ta ite disposition. Both women are 1o jail here. Goldman and Berkman to Sum | of | COCCHI HELD BETS FOR GAMBLING COPS| Had Handbook on Races at His Repair Shop New York, July 7.—District Attor- ney Swann’s investigation into the re- lations between ahe police and Al- fredo Cocchi, murderer of Ruth Cru- ger, reached a new phase yesterday when a man appeared at the Prosecu- tor’s office and said that Cocchi had run a handbook on the races in his motorcycle repair shop on West One Hundred 'and Twenty-seventh Street. He accepted bets from policemen and others who frequented his shop, the informant said. This man asked that his name be kept secret, as he is employed near Cocchi's shop. He as- serted that Cocchi was not the actual principal in the gambling business, but was backed by a man who had cap- ital. A policeman went to the shop the day before Ruth Cruger was mur- dered and placed a $5 bet with Coc- chi on & 20 to 1 shot. The horse won. Three days later the policeman went to collect his winnings. He found Cocchi gone and expressed his in- tense disgust to a man near the shop. The Assistant District Attorney who heard the story was convinced of its truth and so reported to those in direct charge of the Cruger investiga- tion. The name of the policeman credited who won the $100 bet has been obtained. The Grand Jury yvesterday heard Commissioner of Accounts Wallstein, two of his stenographers and Henry D. Cruger, father of the murdered girl. Mr. Wallstein and the stenog- raphers were called in' the case against Lieut. Browne, who is ac- cused of having perjured himself at the Wallstein hearing. The presenta- tion of the evidence against him was finished with the exception of the tes- timony of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brown, who will testify Tuesday. The accused Lieutenant again vis- ited the Prosecutor’s office and asked for the privilege of going before the Grand Jury. He expressed his wil- lingness to sign a waiver of immu- nity. -Mr. Cruger began the story of his dealings with the police from the time the girl disappeared until her body was found in the excavation. It was known beforehand that he was ready to tell of the manner in which the police had met his suggestions that Ruth would not have stayer'> away from home of her own free will, their insistence on the high moral character of Cocchi and the reports they made to him suggesting that the girl was anywhere but in the placc where her body was finally found. Mr. Cruger's testimony was not finished and he will return next week. To expedite the inquiry Mr. Swann has asked the jurors to sit an extra hour every day. But even if they do this’ it 1s likely the inquiry will last a month or longer. The state department has informed the prosecutor it is ‘hopeful” of get- ting Cocchi back. Police Commissioner ceived a message yesterday from his representative in Italy, stating that the privilege of presenting to Cocchi the interrogatory prepared by Mr. Woods had been denied and that preparations were being made to have the same set of questions submitted through the American ambassador. Commissioner Woods, with his hands freed by the ending of the Wallstein inquiry, is preparing to re- sume his investigation of the activi- ties of the Motorcycle squad, to find to what extent grafting prevailed among the men. S, TROOPS’ ADVENT INSPIRES FRENCH Tables Turned on Crown Prince Who Planned Surprise Party French Front in France, July 5 (de- layed.)—Personal initiative, combined with bravery and tenacity, won for the French a splendid victory when the Germans attempted last Tuesday night to retake the Chemin-des-Dames by a most furfous attack, The commanding general, after inspecting the entire eleven-mile front where the battle oc- curred, declared to The Associated Press: “The German Crown Prince had ar- ranged a surprise party for us, in order to offset the Russian victory in Galicia, but he knocked at the wrong door and received a d&sagreeable re- ception.” Before the enemy’s attack began an uncanny silence reigned along this famaus road, where the hostile armies are facing each other at close quarters. Suddenly the German bombardment | opened, and its intensity impressed the French general as being greater than he ever before experienced on the Somme, at Verdun or in the Cham- pagne, where he had taken part in all the battle since the beginning of hos- tilities. The shell smoke was so thick and the fumes from poisonous and lach- rymosal shells were so heavy it was impossible to take observations. The French general attempted to com- municate with his battalion and ardil- lery commanders, but the wires had been broken by projectiles, Theun, to his astonishment, he saw his own artillery, without awaiting orders, open a barrage fire. He learnd later that his artillery colanel, suspect ing that something was about to occur, had gone to a much exposed listening point and observed unusual activity in the German lines. The colanel. there- fore, ordered a curtain fire directed in l!rcm ot the Germans, Woods re- Zoage-Alien X Ca, HARTFORD WE ANNOUNCE FOR MONDAY A Sale of Silk Remnan A Climax in Value-Giving Lengths from 1-2 to 8 Yards 36 and 40 Inches Wide| THIS SEASON’S LEADING FABRICS THE VALUES and PRICES 75c Silks, At ....49c a Yard .75¢ a Yard $1.25 Silks, At . $1.50 and $1 75 Silks, At .95¢ a Yard $1.25 a Yard $2. 00 Silks at . $2.25 and $2.50 Silks At $2.75 to $4.00 Silks At .....$1.75 a Yard .$1.50 a Yard INCLUDING: —Crepe de Chines —Crepe Meteors —Chiffon Taffetas —Striped Silks —Figured Silks —Satins —Failles —Sport Silks —Shantung —Printed Pongees —Corduroys —Sport Tussahs These silks are all reliable and in'pertect condition. d taken from our regular stock, being the lengths ldft after our busy season. and suits.

The Women’s Apparel Shop 165 Main § At this stage of the battle, an a front of 2,000 yards, the greater part of two German divisions dashed for- ward to the attack. Several strong detachments of German infantrymen, notwithstanding the severity of the French cannonading, succeeded in crossing the intervening space and obtained a footing in the French trenches at a few points, The de- fenders, composed of regiments from Southern France, who had originally captured the position, immediately counter attacked, however, and every- where ejected the Germans. Then thdy impetuously advanced and captured several German trenches, which they still hold. The whole action here, as at othe!‘ points in this battle, was not a mere trench raid, but a carefully planned attempt by the Germans to reconquer Chemin-des-Dames, as proved by the fact that the German infantrymen carried into battle their whole equip- ment and several days’ rations. Hun- dreds of their dead, many of whom were youths of the 1918 class, lie with packs still strapped an their backs in front of the French lines. The French commanding officers are enthusiastic about the undi- minished dash and vigor of their men, which they consider largely attribu- table to the moral and aid furnished by the arrival of American troops in France and the . Russian forward movement in Galicla. The command- ing general declared to The Asso- ciated Press that the presence of the American fighting men in his country encouraged not only the French sol- diers but also their commanders. ‘ELABORATION’ 15 DENIED BY CREEL Uncle Sam’s Press Agent Finds Sitnation Growing Warm Washington, July 7.—The reported repudiation in New York by George Creel, chairman of the committee on public information, of the statement that he had rewritten and ‘“elabor- ated” a ‘cryptic” message sent by Rear Admiral Gleaves relative to the engagement between German U.boats and the American destroyers convoy- ing the troops to France, was re- ceived here with some surprise inas- much as it was made in the presence of three mewspaper men.
