PULLAR & NIVEN ESCAPED GERMAN SAFE IN BREMEN Gaptaih Hinsch Said to Have Arrived at Home Baltimore, Md., July 18.-—Captain Frederick Hinsch, who handled the marine end in this country of the merchant submarine Deutschland on her voyages here, has escaped from American soil and is reported to have reached Germany safely. Priends in Baltimore received word this week that he reached Germany four weeks ago. Captain Hinsch slipped out of South Amboy, N. J.,, shortly after the declaration of war, April 6, on A small salling ship with a crew of three men. The vessel was of 200 tons and had been bought by him for $8,000. Advices to his friends here are that he and his three companions have reached Bremen, the entry port of the Deutschland and the home port of the North German Lloyd, in the employ of which he was His father is a ship chandler there and supplies .the Lloyd ships. The schooner is suposed to be the Wanola, a vessel which was bought supposedly for Dutch inter- ests several weeks before the declara- tion of war. One of the men who aided Captain Hinsch in acquiring the vessel was an naturalized Ger- man-American. He was seized and has been interned. According to Baltimoreans who knew his move- ments, Captain Hinsch was about eight weeks in making the voyage. Whether he arrived in Bremen on the schooner or by other means Is not known. It is known that for some weeks previous to the declaration'of war Captain Hinsch was under sur- veillance by department of justice agents because of his activities. He is an officer in the naval reserve of Germany and was understood to be one of the leading figures in the German intelligence force working In American cities. He superintend- »d the docking of the Deutschland 1t Baltimore and at New London, Conn. In September, 1914, he prought the North German Lloyd steamer Neckar through the Capes after being out seven weeks from Havana and successfully running the gauntlet of allied warships. DOUBTS HINSCH'S ESCAPE. New York, July 18.—William Offley, of the department of justice here said today he doubted the truth of the re- port from Baltimore that Captain Frederick Hinsch, the German skip- per who had charge of the submarine Deutschland upon her arrival in the United States had succeeded In escaping to Germany. He belfeves Captain Hinsch is still in the country and said search for him would con- tinue London, July 18.—French men and NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1917, e|STATE GOUNCIL FILES PROTEST Dralt Figures Too Large—Ask for Revision on Next One Hartford, July 18.—The Connecti- cut state council of defense, at an ex- ecutive session today, discussed the estimates of population made by the federal government and voted that chairman Richard M. Bissell “address a letter to the secretary of war, send- ing a copy to Provost General Crow- der and Director W. . Gifford of the council of national defense and Con- necticut's senators and representatives in congress, that Connecticut must in- sist that a new method of apportion- Ing the state’s quotas be fixed and that Connecticut receive consideration for the excess of men under the first draft.” It was voted also that the state should not insist upon the government rectifying the mistake in the first es- timates now as such action would de- lay the draft. A state-wide registration of women volunteers for war work was fore- casted in the council’'s vote that its publicity committee prepare and print for the Connecticut section, women's committee council of national defense, a sufficlent supply of cards for use in the registration of the women of the state. The work has been undertak- en at the request of the council of na- tional defense. The executive session began at o'clock. LOGAL AUTOIST LOSES LICENSE Motorcycle Operator Also De- prived of Right fo Ride Max Surat and Danlel Strunk of this city, appeared before Deputy Au- tomobile Commissioner J. D. McDon- ald yesterday, for hearings. Surat, figured in an accident on Farmington avenue several weeks ago, for which a penalty was imposed in police,court. Commissioner McDonald said the evi- dence showed, that he was either go- ing too fast, or else he lost control of the motorcycle. Suspension of the li- cense for thirty days from July 2 was ordered. According to Traffic Officer Thomas F. Mitchell, Strunk went through New Haven June 24, at a high rate of speed and with no.head or tail lights on his motorcycle. In explanation Strunk said the fast clip he was set- ting was due to his desiring to get to the next town to buy lghts. His li- cense was suspended for thirty days. Joseph Jacobs of this city, who col- lided with a carrilage belonging to James F. White some time ago, had his license restored. Jack Edward Lach of this city, failed to put in an appearance for a hearing. Officer Pinnell testified that Lach was speeding through the streets of North Haven on the afternoon of June 24. William J. Hames, whose car struck and killed a Polish boy on Stanley street in May, and was later arraigned in police court charged with man- slaughter, had his license restored by the commissioner yesterday. Robert E. L. Brown another local autoist who figured in a fatality, secured his li- cense also. WILL FURNISH COAL AT LOWEST PRICE Government Assured Dby Opera- tors of Co-operation 10 Washington, July 18.—Coal oper- ators of four Eastern states, at a con- ference here yesterday, assured gov- ernment officials they would meet all the nation’s coal needs and would furnish amounts allotted to them by any agency the government might name. The question of prices was not con- sidered, although Secretary Daniels in a speech appealing to their patriot- ism declared the operators should come forward in the same spirit as shown by the men who don uniforms for duty in France. The prices finally to be determined will be fixed after the Federal Trade Commission has completed its investigations of coal production costs. The government's requirements for the next vear were put at slightly an five million tons. Much of it must be ¢f the so-called smoke- less variety for use by warships and transports. In agreeing to supply the govern- ment by a system of allotment, the operators also bound themselves to take care of each other’s commeroial orders when they are taken over by the government. The adopted plan virtually amounts to a pool of coal sold to the government. Committees named by the operators will report to the coal committee of the defense council and ask advice as to allot- ment. The allotment probably will be made by the Jefense council or by the Federa] Trade Commission, More than five hundred operators women more than fifty years old and children under 18 are being returned by the Germans to France from the occupied section in the northern part of the country at a rate of one thausand a day. Their condition is described as pitiful. were at the conference. The govern- ment was represented in addition to Secretary Daniels by W. B. Colver, of the Federal Trade Commission; Van H. Manning of the bureau of mines; George Otis of the Geological Surve: and by members of the defense coun- cil's coal committee. DAY COACHES FOR GUARD. Supplies Being Mobilized at Bases— Delay is Remedied. Washington, July 1 ~Day coaches will be used for mdving the greater part of the National Guard to camps in the south where they are to be- come parts of the natioAal army. Re- ports to the war department today indicated that supplies are being mo- bilized satisfactorily at state depots. Delay In laying out camp sites is being remedied and officials believe the first movement will be well under way by the end of the month. 60, E MEN SCRUB FLOORS AT ARMORY Pay Day Too Much for Some Who Know No Penance Pay day hath its charm for all, pecially when it comes but once month. This fact was strikingly il- lustrated this morning at the armory where about fifty members of Com- pany E, failed to report at roll call. Second Lieutenant Harris, who is in charge during the absence of First Lieutenant Griffin, ordered the pro- vost guard out and gave them structions to round up the men. At 2 o'clock all but four had put in an appearance and as the whereabouts of the others were known It is probable they will meet the same fate as the other offenders. Yesterday was pay day. And as the soldiers this month received re- muneration to the amount of $30, in accordance with an act recently passed by congress, instead of the fifteen that was formerly paid to privates, a pay day riot ensued. As the aftermath of last night's ses- sion all those who failed to put in an appearance this morning are now at the armory, scrubbing the floor of that building. This was the punish- ment meted out to them and as Lieu- tenant Harris said, “they are going to do it from top to bottom.” Lieutenant’ Griffin has recelved a five day furlough and left yesterday for a short visit to his home in Ver- mont. FACES COURT ON POISONING GHARGE Mrs. Monohan Gets Preliminary Hearing in New Haven New Haven, July 18.—Mrs. F. Monohan, believed criminally re- sponsible for the death of her third husband recently by Coroner Mix had a preliminary hearing today. Her at- torney, David E. Fitzgerald, was ready to waive the hearing but the prosecutor desired to put on as wit- nesses several nurses and doctors from the hospital in which Monahan died. The object was to show that the patient died of poisoning. Mr. Fitz- gerald maintained that with the waiv- ing of the comglant the prosecution could not offer evidence in the lower court except such as necessary to en- able the court to bind the accused over to the upper court, to the extent desired by the prosecutor. He claimed that in a measure such evidence would bring about trial in part in a court without jurisdiction to try a capital case. Recess was taken to permit of a study of precedents. The nurses and doctors are about to go to France in a hospital unit. The medical examiner dict of suicide. The complaint had sixteen counts alleging administering of poison. Mrs. Monohan showed little interest in the proceedings. Assistant States Attorney Pickett entered the case and asserted that Mr. Fitzgerald's objection in the of- fering of evidence was that he might set up the claim that there was no preliminary hearing. Mr. Fitzgerald also wanted time in which the woman might be examined as to her mental condition. When Mrs. Monohan was arrested before on the charge of killing a niece by the use of poison Mr. Fitz- gerald entered the case as her coun- sel. Annie gave a ver- TO CONTROL FLEET. French Under Secretary to Take Charge of All Merchantmen. Paris, July 18.—Anatole De Mon- zie, the newly appointed under sec- retary of maritime transport has obtained the cabinet’s approval for the institution of a general control over the mercantile flect. The de- cree instituting the measure refers to the increasing diminution of tonnage due to the submarine war as nece: tatinz intense rational use of whole mercantile fleet. The decree authorizes the secretary to undertake all means of control for freight rates and to utillze ships. Every ship of more than 100 tons must have a license from the under secretary which must be presented at every port entered in order that the voyage and cargo may be coun- trolled. M. De Monzle has the power to requisition every ship he consid- ers insufficiently utilized. the McLELLAN DEAD. Brookline.

Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign and do- commerce, department of commerce, and who as its head was in active charge of the operation of the Zovernment's control of exports under . the espionaga act. The resignation was submitted to the president at the request of Sec- retary Redfleld, who beyond saying that Dr. Pratt had been “removed for administrative reasons and for the ®ood of the service”, would make on comment today on his action. It de- veloped however, that the two men differed widely over the administra- tion of export control. Dr. Pratt, who is regarded as one of the country’s foremost trade ex- perts, formerly was manager of the industrial bureau of the merchants’ associaticn of New York and a lec- turer at the university school of com- merce there. In Charge of Exports. As chlef of the bureau, Dr. Pratt was in active charge of operation of the government's control of exports, which went into effect Sunday morn- ing. He had just organized and start- ed working a division of export li- censes with C. A. Richards, a New York exporter, at its head. In announcing his resignation, Dr. Pratt issued this statement: “At the request of Secretary Red- fleld, I have forwarded to President Wilson my resignation, to take effect immediately. I would have, regretted leaving the bureau of foreign and do- mestic commerce at any time, but I particularly regret it at this time be- cause of the war activities that have been placed in its care.” Letter to Redfield. Dr. Pratt also made public the fol- lowing letter he wrote to Secretary Redfield: “In accordance with your request, I have transmitted to President Wil- son my resignation as chief of the bu- reau of foreign and domestic com- merce to take effect immediately. I regret to leave the important work which has recently been entrusted to the bureau of foreign and 'domestic commerce because I had looked upon it as an opportunity to serve my coun- try. ‘T want to take this occasion to express to you my sincere apprecia- tion of your many courtesies extend- ed to me during the last three vears.” Secretary Redfleld declined to dis- cuss the reasons for Dr. Pratt's dis- missal. All that he would say was contained in this brief statement: “While Dr. Pratt has many excel- lent qualities and much ability, 1t was deemed wise for administrative reasons and for the good of the serv- ice that a change be made. There will be no other readjustments in the service. The matter had been for some time under consideration.” MITCHEL AGAIN NAMED FOR MAYOR New York Fusion Ticket Nom- | inated—Acceptance Received 18.—The Fusion through its nom- New York, July committee of 1917, inating and executive committees, last night selected the ticket on which it will go before the people of the city this fall, The full commit- tee will meet on Friday to ratify the choice, but there is small probability that there will be any change. This is | the ticket that the nominating com- mittee chose and which the execu- | tive committee voted unanimously to recommend to the full committee: | Mayor—John Purroy Mitchell. Controller—William A. Prender- Zast. President of the Board of Alder- men—Robert Adamson. President of the Borough of Man- hattan—Marcus M. Marks. President of the Borough of Brook- lyn—Lewis H. Pounds. The selection of candidates for the remaining places in the board of esti- mate, the borough presidents of the Bronx, Queens, and Richmond, will be made later after the borough com- mittees have discussed the situation with the local leaders. It is under- stood, however, that Park Commis- sioner Thomas W. Whittle will suc- ceed Douglas Mathewson as the fusion candidate for borough presi- dent of the bronx, and that State Senator George Cromwell will be the committee’s choice for borough presi- | dent of Richmond. Queens county is badly muddled, and there is no candi- date in sight at present. William Hamlin Childs, chairman of the executive committee, and George W. Perkins, member of the fusion committee, received assurances ! from Mayor Mitchel yesterday that the ticket was thoroughly acceptable to him and that he would accept the renomination. The mayor will not make a public acknowledgnient of his ‘intentions, however, until the full committee tukes action on Friday. 1 July 18.—County com- | missioners will resume their hearings regarding the repair of the boundary road between Fairfield and Westport, over which the selectmen of the two towns have been unable to agree.

CARSON REPLAI]ES LAW IN BABINET England Has Big Shake-Up in Ministry London, Law, July 17.—Andrew Bonar chancellor of the exdhequer, has retired from the war cabinet, and is replaced by Sir Edward Carson. Sir Edward has thus withdrawn from | the admiralty, and Sir Eric Compbell Geddes has assumed thie position of first lord of the admiralty. ‘Winston Spencer Churchill, retirement from the admiralty, com- paratively early in the war, was the outcome of serious controversies, has again assumed a ministerial post, the important one of minister of munitions, succeeding Dr. Christo- pher Addison. Dr. Addison becomes a minister without portfolio in charge of reconstruction. Edwin Samual Montagu a former cabinet minister, is made secretary of India. One of the most acceptable ap- pointments, as far as the general public is concerned, is that of Mr. Montagu. He is one of the very few members of the Asquith administra- tion, in which he was minister of munitions, to join the Lloyd George ministry. Mr. Montagu has had considerable experience in the affairs of India, having once held the post of under secretary for India. Lately, he has been in charge of a large commit- tee exploring the ground for recon- struction after the war, and before the recent resignation of J_ Austen Chamberlin as secretary for India, was announced it was generally sup- posed that Mr. Montagu eventually would become minister of recon- struction. The necessity of finding a new secretary for India, however, caused a modification of the plans, and Dr. Addison, who had been slated for the projected ministry of health, now becomes head of his re- construction committee, which has been created into a kind of min- isterial department. The new cabinet appointments arising out of the resignation of Mr. Chambperiain as secretary for India and Andrew Bonar Law's desire to be relieved of his duties as a mem- beer of the small war cabinet, which he found incompatible with his heavy responsibilities, first as chancellor of the exchequer, and second, as leader of the house of commons, contained two complete surprises—the appoint- ment of Sir Eric Geddes as head of the admiralty, and Winston Spenser Churchill as minister of munitions. Much controversy has revolved for a long time past over the name of Mr. Churchill. It was stated some time ago that he would succeed Lord Cowdray as chairman of the air board, but the idea, evidently then contemplated by Premier Lloyd George, met with such strong op- position in influential quarters that the project had to be dropped. Mr. Churchill's appointment as minister of munitions will un- doubtedly lead to a revival of that agitation and, although it was fore- shadowed that he would re-enter the ministry, it was universally supposed that it would be as president of the air board, The appointment of Sir Eric Ged- des as first lord of the admiralty is another break with the tradition that the ministers should be members of one of the legislative houses. The new first lord is a railway man, not a politician. Until recently he was in charge of the whole army trans- portation; then he became controller of the admiralty with charge of all naval construction, and such a rapid rige to the position to which he is now appointed is quite remarkable, and another instance of how Premier Lloyd George breaks with old politi- cal traditions. The appointment of Sir Edward Carson to replace Mr. Bonar Law as the fifth member of the war cabinet is likely to create more uneasiness and .stronger criticism among the older liberals than any other ap- pointment. The war cabinet now in four men, Mr. Henderson, the labor member, being still on a mission in Petrograd. Of these four, Earl Curzon, Lord Milner and Sir Edward Carson are all conservatives of the most ex- treme type, and complaints, con- stantly heard from the liberal and radical press of the undue prepond- erance of conservative influence in the government since Mr. Lloyd George took the helm, will now be intensified. whose now Sir Eric Geddes received much of his practical education in the United State, having been engaged in lum- bering. in the south and also at one time having had a connection with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. He extended his knowledge of railroad- ing on the Rolilkund & Kumaon rail- way in India and on the Northeastern Railway in England, of which he was at one time deputy general manager. He was created a knight in 1916, City Iltems Some of our $2 shirts, Wilson's.--advt.
