" BLED TO LAST CENT SECRETARY CLAIMS Lawyers and Union Officers, Repre- senting Plaintif and Defendants, Adjust Differences This Afternoon —Official of United Hatters Issued Bitter Criticism of the Com- pany. Danbury, July 14.—An agreement for a settlement of the judgment of $252,000 and costs in the case of D. E. Loewe & Co., against members of the United Hatters of North Amer- ica was announced early this after- noon after a short conference between the lawyers and union officers repre- "senting the litigants. The amount paid by the union was not officially stated by any member of the conference but it is learned that the settlement was for approxi- 2 mately two-thirds of the amount of the judgment and -costs. Martin Lawlor, secretary of the United Hatters, declined to state the terms of settlement, but said in re- sponse to a statement for the press: “You can say that Loewe & Co., bled the United Hatters for the last cent.” John W. Scully of South Norwalk, national president of the United Hat- ters and Martin Lawlor, of New York, national secretary; Judge Martin J. Cunningham, of this city and William ¥F.Tammany of South Norwalk, the union’s lawyers, and Walter Gordon Merritt, of New York, counsel for Loewe & Co., took part in the meeting. The national officers of the union ¢ were fully empowered, it is under- stood, to effect a settlement of the ¢ judgment if, in their opinion the . terms obtainable were satisfactory, The judgment with costs and interest ! amounts to over $200,000 in addition | to the $70,000 already ow by, Loewe & Co., by collection e sav- ings bank accounts of the defendants . which had been under attachment * since the suit was instituted. The question of making a settlement today depended entirely upon the success of the conference in reaching an agree- ment as to the amount to be paid by th union to Loewe & Co. It was un- derstood in hatting circles here, al- thought lacking confirmation, that Loewe & Co., had asked for the pay- » ment of about $200,000 including the money already collected on the judg- ment. The unions were understood to have offered about $150,000, includ- ing the amount already paid over from the bank accounts. . CANNOT EXTRADITE GOCCHI American Embassy Informed Such Act Would Be Violation of Funda- mental Law of Italy. Rome, July 14.—The ministry of \ foreign affairs yesterday notified the American embassy that it was impos- sible to extradite Alfredo Cocchi, the slayer of Ruth Cruger, without violat- ing the fundamental law of the coun- try. Peter A. Jay, charge d’affaires dur- ing the absence of Ambassador Page, called at the foreign office and was told that the ministry regretted it was unable to satisfy the desire of the United States to have Cocchi sent .back, especially now, in view of the relations of Italy and America. Although the original questions asked by Joseph H. Grigg, represent- ing Police Commissioner Woods of New York has yet been unanswered new questions have been submitted by 4 Italian government through the Amer- jcan embassy. These deal chiefly with Cocchi's reported connivance with the New York police. New York, July 14—A personal warrant from President Wilson for the arrest of Alfredo Cocchi in Italy for the murder here of Ruth Cruger was received by registered mail today by FEdward Swann district attorney.

It was announced today by Local No. 321, Cigarmakers International Union of America, that the members of the Wine, Beer and Liquor Dealers’ association, had forwarded word that hereafter none but union made cigars would be sold in their establishments. Notification that such would be the situation was made in the following letter: Mr. F. A. Goddard, Secretary, Cigarmakers Union Na,'321, Dear Sir: At the last meeting of the Wine, Beer and Liquor Dealers’ Associa- tion I was instructed to inform you of the appreciation of the ex- cellent service rendered by your committee representing the cigar- makers in the present struggle, both state and national, against our great enemy, prohibition. A resalution has been adopted to pledge ourselves to sell only union made cigars and further to encourage home industry. You shall have the privilege of stamp- ing all non-union cigars in stock if you see cause for same. Yours very truly, ERNEST E. MUCKE, Becretary. At present only one cigar manufac- turer in New Britain is outside the union fold and his output is so small that he is virtually overlooked by the union. The purpose of the drive against non-union made cigars is to promote home industry and prevent a large number of cigars made in other cities from being sold here, it is said. The cigarmakers who conferred with the saloon keepers were Sol Son- theimer, George Roth and William- Stekly. X GOING TO FRANCE _Miss Jane B. Screem, New Britain Girl, Joins Yale Hospital Unit for Work Near the Firing Line. Miss Jane B. Screen, a New Britain young woman and a sister of Mrs. Arvid Anderson of 15 Walnut street, has joined the Yale Unit, hospital division, and expects to leave within a few days for Allentown, Pa., for training preparatory to leaving at an early date for field work in France. Miss Screen was graduated from the Training School for Nurses at the Hartford hoapital in 1916. This division which Miss Screen has Joined is one of the mobile hospital units and will follow the activities of the battling troops, being at all times as near the firing line as possible. The doctors and nurses attached to this unit are to make a specialty of treating all sorts of wounds of the chest and abdomen. In addition to being thoroughly equipped with the most modern scientific instruments for the treatment of such wounds, the hospital will have & portable X-ray machine and will be capable of caring for about 100 patients at a ‘time, having at least 80 beds. BRITISH TRANSPORT SUNK Eleven Drowned When Armadale Was ‘Was Former Merchant Ship. London, July 14—The British trans. prort Armadale has been sunk by g submarine, it is officially announced. The statement reads: . “The British transport Armadale, with a small number of troops on board, was torpedoed and sunk by an enemy submarine in the Atlantic on June 27. Six soldiers, one passenger and four of the crew are missing and it is presumed were drowned.” The Armadale was a merchant steamer of 1,653 tons gross built in 1909 at Glasgow and owned by the Australian Steamship company in London.

EXILES Men Banished From Bisbee to Be Taken to Columbus WITHOUT F0OD 24 HOURS Orderly Exodus From Hermanas As- sured By Presence of Soldiers and Policc Detail Organized By Refu- gees—Move Is Only Temporary. Hermanas, N. M., July 14.—Col. James J. Hornbrook, U. S. A, with a command of 192 officers and men, ar- rived here this morning on a special train from Douglas, Arizona, to take the 1,200 Bisbe€ exiles to Columbus, N. M. Work of putting the men on the trains was begun immediately. The soldiers were assisted b; iff Simpson of Luna county, and his deputies. The embarkation’ of the exiles for Columbus was orderly. Brig. Gen. George Bell, Jr., com- manding the El Paso military district, stated that the men would not be pYisoners but would be given shelter in the stockade built for Mexican ref- ugees during the border raids and would be supplied with rations by the military authorities. The removal of the men to Columbus is a temporary expedition, it was stated, to prevent suffering. The men, who were left on a side | track here at midnight Thursday night passed last night in their cars. Their lot was better, though, than it had been early in the day, for a carload of provisions arrived from EI Paso and many of the men received their first meal for more than 24 hours. Sheriff Simpson of. Luna county, who came here with 50 deputies from Deming, remained with five of his men after a meeting at which he and District Attorney J. S. Vaught ad- dressed the men and assurred them that they would not be molested as long as they preserved the peace. The exiles cheered the sheriff and Mr. Vaught lustily and assured them they Torpedoed in Atlantic on June 27— | recorded ut a hospital today wheq | the d finally when he was asleep 1 ot a | were law-abiding citizens. ‘W. B. Cleary, the Bisbee attorney and labor advocate who was among those deported., assumed leadership of the exiles and organized them for ar- ranging sanitation and an unofficial police force to preserve order.

A census of the cards under the selective draft law, and that 142 were the owners of “Lib- erty Bonds”. Mr. Cleary said that be- sides strikers and members of Industrial Workers of the World, the exiles included small business men of Bisbee and other residents of Bisbee who were suspected of sympathizing with the strikers. \ ‘Whether these men will undertake to return to Bisbee has not been ‘de- termined. The local officers there have asserted none would be permit- ted to re-enter the camp and have posted guardg to prevent any return- ing. Sherift Offers No Apology. Phoenix, Ariz, July tioned the deportation of the striking miners from Bisbee Thursday, has replied to Governor Campbell’s re- quest for an explanation. The sher- iff’s message sald: “I can protect law abiding and peaceful citizens, but I cannot guar- antee the technical rights of law breakers and criminals. I would not endanger the lives of loyal American citizens in attempting to protect In- dustrial Workers of the World.” I. W. W. Strike in Washington. Hoquiam, Wash,, July 14.—A gen- eral strike in the logging camps and mills of Hoquiam and the Gray's harbor district to take effect today was called without warning late last night by the Industrial Workers of the World.

Paris, July 14.—France today cel- ebrated its national fete with fervor and quiet joy unknown in many years. The Russian revolution , has made Frenchmen realize more vividly the meaning of the' great epoch which, dawning in America in 1776, culmin- ated in France in 1789 in a great revolution whose spirit, after more than a century, is about to have its full fruition in the destruction of the by the forces of allied democracy. “It is a pity,” savs Paul Deschanel, president of the chamber of deputies, in a message to the Journal, “that the Germans cannot see ‘our national fete, they.-who believe us to be starv- ing and‘at the end of our resources. “In the month of April, notwith- standing results,” we did not realize our hopes. . Since then a_noble leader who has had nothing but success in this war, a great infantry man, up- right and clear minded has been put at the head of our armies, Already the Russians are fulfilling their pledges and Americans are bringing up their powerful support not only in money, airplanes and ships but in men and guns. % ““Amerlca’s intervention, while a decisive factor in the justice of our cause, is a guarantee of victory. It makes it more than ever our duty to hold on.” In the detachments bearing the colors of the 106th infantry in to- day’s review was a white-bearded sergeant, Le. Mehnager, wearing a medal of 1870 and the war cross. He was in the United States in 1870 but returned to fight for his country. Aft- er the war he went to Los Angeles where he made his fortune. He heard the call of duty again in 1914 | and left for France with his wife and four daughters. Notwithstanding his 64 vears he enlisted, and has feught for three years and has been wound- ed. He is understood to be the old- est man in the ranks of the French army. - Paris wept and cheered at the sight of the /battle torn flags brought from the front and carried through the streets. . There were 134 of them. Troops Reach Camp. The vanguard of the American troops, who left on Thursday the sea- port town where they have been en- camped, arrived at their permanent camp today.

Bratiano Jassy, Rumania, July 6 (Delayed). —A cahinet crisis is confronting the Rumanian government. Four conser- vative ministers have refused further to co-operate with Premier Bratiano and they also demand that two more conservatives be admitted to the cabi- net. They likewise insist that M. Bratiano resign and that Take Jo- nescu, minister without portfolio, be | appointed to succeed him. AMERICAN SQUADRON WELCOME No Reservations on Its Movements in Argentine Waters. Buenos Aires, July 14.—The minis- ter of foreign affairs, .replying to an inquiry after a secret sitting of the senate today declared that he an- swered questions concerning the in- ternational situation. The minister of foreign affairs in- formed Ambassador Stimson that the Argentine government will receive the American squadron in Argentine waters in a friendly manner and without restrictions.

Washington, July 14.—Clearance of eleven neutrals from an Atlantic port today, with cargoes coming under the ban of the export embargo, is regard- ed by officials here as likely to result in no advantage for the interests in- volved. Letters of assurance on the cargo were refused by the British in line with the general policy of thwarting attempts to.evade the American em- bargo by making heavy shipments just before the effective date of the president's proclamation. Many ves- sels which had made plans to effect such coups are laid up by the course of the British government in co-oper- ating to prevent embargo evasions. Although no information regarding these particular' cases is available here, it is suggested by the nationali- ties of the steamers that their destin- ations probably are in neutral coun- tries abroad suspected of supplying Germany. The situation regarding | these countries has presented the most serious problem in administration of | exports control and indications have been strong that no licenses are to he issued for grain, meal cake and simi- lar supplies for those countries. If a formal decision has been made on the subject, the fact has not been revealed here. The withdrawal of the neutral vessels concerned in this case however, would seem to indicate that their masters had rather definite intimations that the TUnited States would not let them sail if they re- mained until after July 15. B It is considered there is little pos- sibility that the steamers will succeed in running the Atlantic blockade. It was indicated today that as a general policy the exports council will place few restrictions at first on the shipment from the United States of goods placed under export control. COMPANY E 0 60 Officers snd Men Expect to Get Or- ders to Break Camp on Tuesday or Wednesday—Soldiers Get Day Off. Orders issued by Lieutenant Ashley J. Griffin, commanding Company E, First Infantry, encamped at Walnut Hill park, indicate that this command will break camp here and leave for the mobilization base at old Yale field | in New Haven on Tuesday or Wednes- | day of next week. In view of the | early departure of the soldiers Lieu- tenant Griffin, following inspection this morning, gave all of the members of the company, with the exception of the guard detail, leave of absence until tomorrow night. This gives the men a chance to return to their homes to settle all their affairs and get in readiness for an early start next week. It is rumored at the camp that the stay in New Haven will be very short and that it will not be long ere the New . Britain bovs are on their way to the cantonment at Charlotte, N. C., There they expect a month or two of intensive training preparatory to being sent abroad before winter. The order to move is being eagerly awalt- ed by the men in khaki. Tn connection with the company outing at Walnut Hill park yesterday afternoon the non-commissioned offi- cers played a baseball game with the first class privates, the non-coms win- ning by a score of 2 to 1. Great Lottery, Conferring Henor of Going to France for Old Glory, Near. Drawing Washington, July 14.—An import- ant preliminary step towards the or- ganization of America’s new national army was taken with the publication today of President Wilson’s order drafting 687,000 men into military service under the selective conscrip- tion law. The order was issued by the war department. Distribution by the governors of the state quota among the local ex- emption districts and the great lottery to establish the order in which regis- trants are to be called into the ser- vice are the only steps that remain to be carried out. The men summoned will be used to bring the regular army and National Guard up to war strength and to form the first half million of the new army. The total of the three forces will be 1,262,985 men. In computing the allotment required from each state, the government gave credit’ for the number of men in the National Guard of the state, and of every recruit contributed to the regu- lar army since April 1. With 947 of the 4,569 exemption districts still unheard from today, an accurate prediction as to the date of the great drawing under the army selective law still was impossible. Most of the official who are closely watching the situation believed, however, that all would be ready in time for the drawing next week. More than 400 districts filled their reports of organization yesterday and last night. The bulk of those missing districts are in large cities and will report about the same time. It has been estimated that New York city reports will be completed by Wednes- day or Thursday. Meanwhile nominations for the dis- trict appeal boards still aw: tion by President Wilson. list of men recommended for lection his se- has been submitted by Brig. Gen. Crowder, provost marshal gen- eral. There will be no need to delay the drawing for these nominations as the appeal boards will have no func- tions to perform until the actual examination of men by the district boards has commenced. Newspapers in the big population centers of the country are beginning to reveal more clearly every day the magnitude of the task before theim in announcing the order for appearance of each registrant. It seems likely now that a majority of the papers will be compelled to print, on the first day, only the names of the men who are likely to be called to make up the 678,000 to he drafted. In each state the number that will mean from each district in the state is now being determined by the governor. Any state having the allotment of quota by districts may range widely. One district may be called upon for several hundred men and another for only two or three, due to credits for volunteers, distribution of regiments or other factors which the governors are considering in making allotments. The Tesult will be that for one: dis- trict the papers may be able to pub- lish at once names of the men who will be first to appear and also addi- tional names in order of liability to cover probable exemptions. Another factor in the drawing may prove puzzling, is the fact that the rotation numbers will not be the same in every district. For instance: If the lari A" district has 7,000 men regis- tc 41 and the smallest 187 and the others range between, 7,000 numbers would have to be drawn. The first serfal number might be 6,715. That would mean that number 6,771 would be first up in every district which had 6,771 men or more. It would mean nothing to any district with less than 6,771 registrants. The second number drawn might (Continued on Tnird Page,) CHINESE REPUBLIC RESTORED; BATTLE LASTED NINE HOURS ‘Washington, July 14.—The occupa- tion of Peking by the Ttepublican, forces, following the surrender at ¥ung Tal Thursday of the monorchist army of 10,000 men, indicates the complete restoration of the republic, the Chinese legation here declared to- duy.
