HERALD “ADS™ MEAN BETTER BUSINESS “PRICE THREE CENTS. NEW BRITAIN HERALD NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1917. —EIGHTEEN PAGES, 'FINLAND ANNOUNCES ITS INDEPENDENCE OF RUSSIA NEW MEXICO TOWN, - Petrograd Cabinet Holds Late Session and Lvoff Summons Back Ministers Now at Battle Fronts. "SOCIALISTS AGREE WITH FINN DEMANDS Finns Deny Prerogatives of Grand Duke Automatically Descended to Provisional Government — Russia Loses Authority Except in Domains of Diplomacy and Army and Navy, ‘Where Rights Are Not Specified. Petrograd, July 13.—The Finnish Diet on Thursday passed the second reading of a bill virtually establish- ing Finnish independence. The intro- duction of the bill has created a se- rious crisis here and N. C. Tcheidse, president of the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers’ delegates has gone to Helsingfors in an effort to settle the differences. Train service on the Finnish rail- way was resumed Thursday. Great indignation prevails here at the atti- Aude of the Finnish Diet. An indication of the seriousness of . the situation was a late sitting of the Petrograd cabinet and a decision of Premier Lvoff to summon back to the capitol the ministers who are now with the army. According to the Bir- zheviya, M. Lvoff's socialist colleagues declare themselves in principle satis- fied with Finland’s move. The premier and other ministers be- longing to the cablnet party refuse, however, to allow Finland to deter- mine her relations with Russia, in- sisting that she must wait until the “meeting of the constituent assembly. The comment of the newspapers in Petrograd is sharp. A law which was engineered by ~ the socialists proclaims that Russia has lost authority in Finland except in the domains of diplomacy and the army and navy, wherein, however, Russia’s rights are undefined. All oth- er prerogatives of the grand duke of Finland, which the provisional gov- ernment clalms passed cally. to it, belong to Finland. Specifically the Diet assumes the grand duke's “rights to put into execution the law, convoke and prorogue the Legislature and appoint a supreme executive. Telegrams from Helsingfors declare that after the promulgation of a law the Diet will appoint its own Senate. An inkling of the action of the Fin- nish Diet was given on June 22, when the social democratic congress of Fin- .,Jand adopted resolutions demanding the separating of Finland from Russia and the f8rmation of an independent republic. Russia will not have the right to keep troops on Finnish terri- tory in time of peace or possess any fortifications. Economic relations be- tween Finland and Russia would be regulated as between foreign coun- ~tries. The TFinnish social democrats ad-— dressed the social democrats of all countries, especially Russia, asking them to support the establishment of Finland’s independence on the ground that Russia’s government was char- acterized as bourgeois, and was in- capable of giving adequate guaran- ®ees of the inviolability of Finland's freedom. The Grand Duchy of Finland forms a separate division of the Russian em- pire and until the last few years pre- served its old constitution. Its auton- omy has been in great measure abol- jshed by acts of the Russian govern- ment. A governor-general répresents >{he Russian government. > Russla in Need of Gold. Petrograd, July 13.—The serious financial problems confronting the Russian government were referred to in a private meeting of the Duma yesterday by Deputy Blikoff, who said the natlon’s gold reserve of 1,- 715,000,000 rubles covered 13.6 per ’ cent of the paper money of the state now in circulation. ATTACK ON PEKING OPENS| Three Thousand of Chang's Troops Surrender—Dictator Reported As Refugee in Dutch Legation. Shanghai, July 12.—A Tien Tsin telegram says the republican attack on Peking began at 4 o'clock this morning and that artillery and ma- chine guns and areoplanes are being used. Five or six foreigners, who »were watching the fighting from the walls of the city were wounded.

Copenhagen, July 13.—The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger says & communication from the Austro-Hungarian govern- ment has been received in Berlin declaring that Dr. Von Bethmann- Hollweg’s continuance in office as chancellor is of importance and his re- tirement possibly a fatal mistake. The telegram was obviously dispatched before the decision on the Prussian franchise was taken, which generally is interpreted in Berlin as a sign that Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg would re- main. The Lokal Anzeiger attributes the telegram to Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, The executive committee of the Catholic ¢enter of the Reichstag, on the other hand, belleves Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg unsuited to con- duct peace negotiations, and says he should be replaced before an ultimate peace conference. The attitude of this great party, which is of quite as great importance as the views of Count Czernin on the same subject, and which have been repeatedly de- nied, 1s somewhat cleared by an an- nouncement of the party organ Ger- mania. While denying the report that the party had demanded the chancellor's retirement, for which “at present” there is no compelling ground or that it had an interest in unseating him, Germania says the party considers the chancellor scarcely fitted to partici= pate in the peace negotiations, par- ticularly considering the fact that the declaration of war occurred under his administration, but that it is erron- euos to consider his further contin- uance in office a hindrance to bring- ing on peace. The distinction drawn indicates that the centerist leaders believe the chan- cellor may remain for the present, but should resign before the actual peace onference, HOLIDAY FOR OUR TROOPS IN FRANCE Amcrican Soldiers to Join “Poilus” In Observing Annlversary of Fall of Bastile in Paris. Paris, July 13.—One hundred and fifty battleplanes in flotillas will take part in the celebration of the fall of Bastile tomorrow in Paris.

Douglas, Ariz, July 13.— Citizens of Douglas today were prepared for a return of the 1,197 members of the Industrial Workers of the World and | their sympathizers who were deported vesterday from Bisbee. Reports early today indicated the special train of freight and cattle cars which carried the men from Bisbee nad been side- | tracked at Hermans, 20 miles west of Columbus, N. M., after the local offi- cers at the latter place had refused to permit the guards who accom- panied the train to unload their pris- oners there. A message received by Chief of Po- lice t from Sheriff Harry Wheeler, who accompanied the train, said the deported men were threatening to re- turn to Douglas on the first passenger train and it was feared that they would arrive here during the day. Chicf Kast issued call for 200 special policemen to report for duty, full armed, to handle the expected inva- sfon. Reports from other sources said it was considered probable that the de- ported men would stop a west-bound train and compel the crew to carry them back to Bisbee. When the train arrived at Colum- | bus, the detraining point originally se- lected by the guards, it was met by the deputy marshal and a number of policemen who refused to permit| either the guards or the deported men to leave the train.

Archer-Gilli- gan, charged with murder of Frank- lin R. Andrews, a contract inmate of her home for elderly people, in Windsor, retired to consider a ver- dict at 12: this noon. The charge by Judge Gardiner Greene extended through two hours and three minutes. The court room was crowded to the doors, some spectators filling the prisoners’ box. Judge W. S. Case sat on the bench during the charge. Judge Greene gave an exposition of the law of homicide, and also at length reviewed the evidence. He instructed the jury that four Yerdicts were possible under the indictment: First degree murder, second degrec murder, manslaughter and that of “not guilt The only count in the indictment to be considered was that charging the murder of Andrews. The other counts were not evidence, and the state only used them as a means to indicate a possible motive for a crime. The court explained the weight to be given circumstantial evidence. He said it was not possible to determine the actual way in which poison had Dheen used but as it was necessary to define the presence of the substance in the body of the deceased the tes- timony of experts on the effect of poison had been introduced. court said that the law of homicide places a death by use of poison as in the manper degree. The state claims that murder was deliberately itatedly done. it and premed- this has in the first degree. The court cautioned the jury to be swayed by sympathy fact of the sex of the not or by the defendant. That the accused did not take the | stand was not to be taken as assail- ing her claims of innocence. Referring to the white crystals found in Andrews’ stomach, the court id he was unable ‘to understand what the defence implied, but did not state outright, by saying that white crystals were found only in the stom. ach of Andrews, which Dr. Wolff had taken charge of. In view of the lack of direct statement the jury was to de- cide if the white crystals were planted in the stomach of Andrews after death; whether the implied charge was that Dr. Wolff had made the evi- dence and whether Dr. Wolff had come into court and perjured himself. The court said that experts had agreed that there was a polson in the body, but disagreed as to how it got there. The defense claimed that the poison came there through the embalmin fluid, while the state offered evidenc to show that the fluid did not contaln the poison found in the body. The court referred to the testimon of Eugene Shea, assistant to the em- balmer, noting that he was not asked as to the embalming fluid and it was for the jury to determine what the answer would have been. On many points the court reviewed the evidence and explained the law. Throughout the charge Mrs, Gilligan sat with listless air. At its conclusion she appeared greatly agitated and was comforted by her daughter. At 2:30 the jury came into the court room and asked that it might see some of the state’s exhibits. These had to be sent for. When the Jury sent in word that it wished to come in Mrs. Gilllgan was taken into the court room. The spectators an- ticipated a verdiet, FLM CITY REGISTRATION New Huven, July 13 Fitzgerald, gencral chairman exemption nourds in New day stated that the work here probably end tomorrow and (he will be in Wu ')\Ingh-n Sunday.
