Again today, as a result of the fiercest heat the city has endured for many years, practically every factory . is crippled and several have closed down absolutely. Emloyers early this morning realized the strain under which their men were working and in many cases the workers were volun- tarily excused, while only a small per- centage remained at their tasks all day. The bathing pdol on the sum- mit of Walnut Hill has been the Mecca for hundreds of children, while the oider people have flocked in great numbers to Lake Compounce, Wat- kins’ swimming pool and other resorts. Old residents of the city state that last night was one of the most dis- agreeable they have ever experienced and records indicate that yesterday «'was the hottest July 31.and today the hottest August 1 on record. After resting well over the 80 degree mark all Monday night, Old Sol took humid- ity for an ally early yesterday morn- ing and as the day advanced the ther- mometer climbed steadily. At the traffic post in. front of City hall "the mercury registered -105 degrees. At other places it went as high as 112 ? degrees. At 5 o‘clock in the afternoon the heat had reached its climax and the mercury registered 96 and 98 in the shade. There was but compara- tively little reMef even after the sun dropped behind the hills. The humid- ity continued great and there was little Dbreeze blowing. Hot, tired people climbed into crowded trolley 7 cars for relief, while others lolled on their porches or in the yards. Others thronged Walnut Hill park, where, on the summit, little children found re- lief in the coaling waters of the bath- ing pool. Many people, including en- tire families, slept on the greensward at the park last night and about 75 people slept on the grass in Central _ Park. One Death Reported. Medica] Examiner Harry A. Elcock reported one death due to the heat. A 64 year old man named Mike Kak- man of 644 Main street was the vic- tim. The man passed away this morning. Peter Hedberg of 25 Greenwood . street, a painter, was overcome by the heat on Arch street this morn- ing. He was taken to his home in the police ambulance. Again today it was necessary for the Stanley Rule and Level Co. to close down the entire factory just before noon, so impassible did the employes find it to work. Landers, Frark & Clark also closed down this morning ,and at the Vulcan Iron Works, the Malleable Iron Works, the foundry at the P. & F. Corbin factory, the North and Judd factory and the Union Mfg. Ca. the moulders found it impossible to begin their work "because of the heat. At other factorles entire de- partments left their work. This noon there was a marked absence of men and women returning to their working “places, and this afternoon there was a concerted move toward the trolley cars and swimming poals. At some of the factories, where it was impossible to excuse the entire office force, the managers sent out and secured ice cream and cooling drinks for the toilers. Letter Carriers Excused. Postmaster Willlam F. Deianey, realizing the strain under which his carriers were compelled to work this morning as they trudged along their routes, under the broiling sun with the heavy roil pouches over their shoulders, ordered only one delivery, excusing the men when they returned from their morning's work. Others whose work took them outside suf- fered much today, especially ice men and teamsters whcse work is heavy. Today has been even hotter than yesterday for at moon yesterday it was just 96 in the shade. This noon the thermometer registered 98 and was still soaring. The weather bu- reau holds cut no hope of relief before tonight and doctors look for further prostratiens, particularly because of the debilitation occasioned by three days of such torrid temperature. The heat has driven crowds into saloons but it has shepherded them in far grester numbers to soda fountains and ice cream parlors. Under these assaults of thiret soda water and ice creara have mcited away more rapid- ly than if directly exposed to the sun. Last night veral ice cream dealers found themselves without a supply and frantic efforts were r.ade to re- plenish the stock. Dealers say that the ice cream and soda water trade (Continued on Tenth Page) MOB OF MASKED MEN HANGS 1. W, W. LEADER! Victim Recently Spoke - of Troops As “Uncle Sam’s Scabs in Uniform.” Butte, Mont., Aug. 1.—Frank W. Little, member of the executive board "of the Industrial Workers of the ‘World and leader in labor troubles in Arizona, was taken from a lodging house early today by masked men and hanged to a railroad trestle on the outskirts of the city. The body was cut down at 8 a. m. by Chief of Police Murphy, who iden< tified it. Little, in a recent speech here, re~ ferred to United States troops as “Uncle Sam’s scabs in uniform.” Since his arrival here recently from Globe, Arizona, Little had made speeches to strikers, attacking the government and urging the men to shut down the mines of the Butte dis- trict. He was bitter in his denuncia- tion of the government. His record was under investigation by the federal authorities. On the other hand the report was current that Little was in the employ of a detective agency, and one theory is that he was the victim of the radical element of which he appeared to be one. Little took a leading part in recent labor troubles in Arizona. He ad- dressed a letter from Salt Lake to Governar Campbell of Arizona, pro- testing against the deportation of I. ‘W. W. members from Bisbee. Gover- nor Compbell replied, telling Little he resented his interference and his threats. Little was understood to have the confidence of William Haywood of the I. W. W. organization and was re- garded here as one of Haywood's chief agents. Little was a cripple but active and ta forceful speaker.— On Little’s body was pinned a card bearing the words: “Firat and last warning. Others take notice. Vigilantes.” Little was taken out of the bufld- ing in which he lodged by a party of masked men who took him away in an automobile. He was not given time to dress. Chivago, Aug. 1.—Frank Little, who was lynched early today at Butte, Mont., had been identified with the I. W. W. for some years. His home was Fresno, California. He was 38 years and single. Word of his death was received with emotion by W. D. Haywood, secretary of the STAMFORD HAS $300,000 FIRE Plant of Baer Bros. Co. Destroyed Following Canal Ex- on. Street plosion Due to Intense Heat. Stamford, Aug. 1.—After burning all night the fire in the plant of the Baer Bros. Co. makers of paints and bronze powders, was extinguished this forenoon. The loss estimate remains at about $300,000 according to Max Fuchs, the manager. The fire began with an explosion, brought about, it is be- lieved, by spontaneous combustion due to the intense heat. The plant which was practically de- stroyed is that on the water front at Canal street and the foot of Henry. The principal buildings were those of the paint shop and hronze grinding. Connected buildings were used for the making of chemicals of various kinds and materials used in producing bronzes. Since the war shut off im- portations of bronzes the company has grown until it included many wooden buildings which _contained much valuable material. From the point of loss it was the largest Stam- ford has had in years. The insurance is partial. The company has another plant on the west side of the city. COUNTY QUOTA FILLED Hartford and New Haven Pass Regular Army Mark as Districts Es- tablished by Government, New Haven, Aug. 1.—New Haven and Hartford counties today complet- ed their quotas for the regular army at the local recruiting station, Major Mercer, in command, stated.

British Front in France and Bel- gium, Aug. 1 (By the Associated Press)—Welsh troops yesterday add- ed a new star to their crown for it fell to one of their regiments to adminis- ‘ter a crushing defeat in General Halg's great offensive on the Third Battalion of Infantry Guards, which was Emperor William's crack body of troops. The terrain in this new bat- tle soon presented tremendous diffi- culty for attacking armies. Between Dixmude and the point where the Ypres-Comines canal crosses the lines on the lower part of the Ypres salient, two great forces had been imbedded for three years and this portion of the line has come to be looked upon as impregnable for either side. The present battle between Dix- mude and Lizerne was ‘“no man’s land” within whose borders . lay marshes and morasses which in win- ter are impassable. This formidable natural barrier was rendered. . still stronger by the inundation of large areas by the release of waters from the canals. The Germans .and.Allies alike seeking bits of dry land for a footing swung so far apart in some places that the distance between the lines was nearly three miles. Below this section opposing lines followed either bank of the Yser.can- al and then went on to the Ypres sal- ient, face to face. but with the Ger- mans holding the dominating high land about the salient. The Dixmude- Lizerne section of the front is a wil- derness of partly inundated and de- gerted farms dotted , with pools brackish water and cut into strange shapes by drainage ditches. There are but few remaining civilian habitations in this “no man’s land.” Crumbling cottage walls and an occasional roof. les church rose above the flats. Germans in Control of Saucer Edge. Neither side feared a surprise at- tack or a trench raid. Since Duke Albrecht’s Wurttemburg troops was swallowed up in thé flood let loose by opening up the sluice gates in Oc- tober, 1914, the enemy had not tried to cross the marshes nor had they tried to get over the Ypres since the Belgians, in the spring of 1915, after sanguinary fighting, flung them back across the bridgehead at Lizerne. The Ypres salient itself furnished as nasty a problem as could be presented to an attacking army. The country here is saucer-shaped and the Ger- mans had held the lip of this saucer. All the lower lying land within this dish had thus been dominated by the enemy who could pour a stream of shell and inachine gun fire into the troops and supply columns advancing across the salient. The situation was rendered still more difficult by the presence within the saucer of a large number of wa- terways that must be crossed by means of bridges which might at any moment be destroyed by gum fire. This difficulty, however, was over- come by a brilliant feat of the British engineers who threw 17 bridges across the waterways for the advancing troops, in the face of teriffic gun fire. Similar and equally remarkable work was done by the French engineers who were forced to bridge the Yser for their attack. The Germans little feared apparent- ly that the battle would turn in the direction of their right wing. It was early in June that rumors of the im- pending attack began to find their way to German ears and were voiced o Berlin. Gradually the rumors as- sumed certuainty and the Germans be- gan feverishly to strengthen their lines, pouring large numbers of fresh forces into Flanders and bringing up all available guns. The surrounding country was cvacuated of civilians and stripped for the conflict. Soldiers, Shells and Tanks. The Germans knew they faced an offensive. They were unable with all their cunning to gather more than a fragmentary idea of the story of this preparations which is in itself a mar- velous cre. Day after day the build- ing up of new armies continued un- der cover of a unique concealment in plans. Large numbers of great guns made their way to selected positions and were mounted on concrete founda- tions laic long before. Millions of shells which are today turning the German front into an inferno of death und destruction were hrought up and stored while the enemy watched with unsecing ey Long lines of dreaded tanks took the road and the living monsters crawled clumsily but per- sistently northward to take their n the Allied battle formation stations were established at vantage points and everything possi- ble was done to care for the stream of wounded which was sure to result.

RIBOT Denies Secret Treaty of Con- Quest Between France and Russia. Paris,. Aug. 1.—Premier Ribot re- plied in the chamber yesterday to the declaration made Saturday by Dr. Michaelis, the German chancellor, -~ that there was a secret ‘trcaty between France and Russia having in view plans of conguest. Premier Ribot, after saying he was convinced that Spain would apply the decree interning the German subma- rine which anchored iu the harbor of Corunna Monday evening said: “I wish to reply to tne singular speech which Dr. Michaelis thought fit to invite the Berlin Journalists to hear. The German chancellor public- ly commanded the French government to declare whether, in a secret sitting June 1, the French government had not made known to the chamber the terms of a secret treaty before the Russian revolution whereby the em- peror _bound himself to support French pretensicns to German terri- tory on the left bank of the Rhine. “The chancellor's version contains gross inaccuracies and absolute lies, notably regarding the role he attrib- utes to the president of the republic giving an order to sign a treaty un- known to Premier Briand. The cham- bers knows how things passed. M. Doumergue, (ex-premier and foreign minister) after a conversation with the emperor, demanded and obtained M. Briand's authorization to take note of the emperor’s promise to sup- port our claim to Alsace-Lorraine and to leave us_free to seek guarantees against fresh aggression, not by an- nexing territories on the left bank’ of the Khine, but nzking an autonomous state of these territories which would protect us and also Belgium agninst invasion. “We have never thought to do what Bismarck did in 1§71. We are there- fore entitied to deny the allegation of the chancellor who evidently knows of the letters exchanged in February, 1917, at Petrograd and falsified sinca as his most illustrious precedessor falsified the Ems despatch. When- cver the Russian government is will- ing to publish these letters we have no objection.” DR. BRAY BITTEN BY D06 Beast, Owned By Deo Bojnowski, Killed Today and Will Be Exam- ined For Traces of Hydrophobia. Dr. Henry T. Bray, nealth com- missioner and one of New Britain's best known practiticners, was bitten in the calf of the leg by a dog as he was making a professional call at 66 Orange street at 9:30 o'clock last eve- ning. The wound was not a serious one, but it was sufficiently deep to draw blood and cause a possible in- fection. Because of the possibility that the dog, which was owned by Leo‘ Boj- nowski, might have been infected with the rabies, the beast was killed today and its head was sent to the state laboratories at Middletown for exam- ination. If it is found that the animal was suffering from the rabies it will’ be necessary for Dr. Bray to take the Pasteur treatment in order to become immune to the dreaded hydrophobia himself. N The authorities state that this case looks rather suspicious inasmuch as it is in the same neighborhood where a child died last week from hydropho- bia. People living in the neighborhood claim that the mad dog, which fatally bit the child, nipped several other dogs in the vicinity. HORWITZ FINED $50. Canterwitch Freed on Charge of Tak- ing Automobile. Edward Horwitz was fined $50 and costs in the Hartford police court this morning on the charge of taking an automobile without the permis- sion of the owner. The fine is the minimum that can be imposed under the new law. Abraham Canterwitch, also of this (ity, who was before Judge Dickenson on the same charge, having accom- panied Horwitz to Middletown on the joy ride from A. C.

SENATE VOTES TODAY AT 4 ON PROHIBITION MEASURE GERMAN GUN CREWS REPLACED NINE TIMES g London, Aug. l.—According to reports from special corre- spondents, the great majority of British troops engaged in the latest assault are English, although there are some Scotch, Welsh and Australians. It is said the Germans are employ- ing a new scheme of defense which apparently depends prin- clpally upon' organization for counter attacks. They now diminish their gar- risons and by the same amount increase the strength of their supports and reserves who hold rear lines in force and who are organized for immediate at- tack. As an instance of terrible pounding by the British artil- lery it is said to be known that the crews of the German bat- teries had to be replaced ninc times and the guns thereof five times. STANLEY WORKS HAS VENTILATING SCHEME Office Temperature Will Be Kept At Point of Average Humidity By New Machinery. At the office of the Stanley Works one of the most modern and sanitary ventilating systems is being installed which, it is expected, will go far to- ward creating ideal working condi- tions, especially in the winter. The new system automatically controls the humidity of the atmosphere. it has been noted by the Stanley Works officials that in the winter time, when hot air is forced into the office building to heat the premises, the air is devoid of moisure and is dry. Clerks working several hours in this dried air, upon going out into the cold, damp air easily take cold and are often made ill. Under the new scheme the warm air will be so treat- ed that it will have a correct amount of moisture in it, tiius assuring proper working conditions. The system is an elaborate one. On either side of the office are specially constructed chambers through which there is constantly forced a fine spray of water. Through this spray the fresh air from cutsice, used'in ventil- ating the building, is pumped. In passing through the mist the heated air humidifies and by automatic con- trols the humidity of the air is kept constant. An added advantage of this system is that any dusty precipitates or other similar impurities are really washed from th: air before it goes into the office. This new system is not of any par- ticularly advantage in weather such as today for now the outside air has too much moisture in it, causing the humidity to be great. The only pons- sible way of automatically cooling such a building would be by the in- stallation of a refrigerating system, which would be impractical. ROBBED ON TRAIN. Struck on Jaw With Stone and Re- lieved of $100 and Watch. Mike Palek complained to the po- lce this morning that he was robbed of $100, a watch and knife on a train at the local passenger station last night. He said that he resigned his job on the Smith tobacco farm near Brist6l yesterday. He then went to the Bristol passenger depot and bought a ticket for New York city. He had $100 in bills in his possession and some change wheu he bought the tic- ket. He noticed that two men were watching him as he put the roll of Result in Doubt As Debate Is Resumed—Peace on Hori- zon As Conferees Assemble Again, Washington, Aug. 1—When the sen- ate resumed debate on the resolution for a prohibition amendment to the federal constitution the outcome was in doubt. The senate has agreed to begin voting on all amendments and the resolution itself at 4 o’clock to- day. Pending was a motion calling for the submission of the proposed constitutional amendment to the states for ratification by July 1, 1923. Unless thus approved the amendment would become null and void. If the amendment is passed by a two-thirds vote of the senate and house it will then have to be ratified by three-fourths of all the states. Senate and house conferees on the food bill met today for what was ex- pected to be their final effort to reach an agreement in the dispute over the provision for a congressional war ex- penditures committee. With the basic elements of new revenue levies decided upon, the sen- ate finance committee revising the war tax bill, today began the task of working out the details by which it is planned to increase the bill's total from $1,670,000,000 to about $2,000,- 000,000 chiefly through additional taxes on ‘ntoxXicants and on personal and corporation incomes. The committee lopes to raise the total to be carried by the bill to at least $1,998,000,000, of which about $304,600,000 would be raised by the new levies on intoxicants and on in- dividual and corporatio.. incomes Additional new taxes sre under con- sideration to raise the balance of $33,400,000. , AMERICAN STEAMSHIP SUNK Twenty-two Survivors of Motano, { Which Had Crew of 34, Landed— Sailed July 2 for Ireland. bills in his pocket after buying the ticket and they got on the ‘“dinkey” with him.

Athens, Monday, July 30.—With- drawal of the Allied forces from old Greece, Thessaly and Epirus in accard- ance with the decision of the Balkan conference at Paris; is being rapidly carried out. The last Franco-British troops left Piruu*day. The with- drawal from «@orinti and other points was previousi¥executed. The Italians are similarly preparing to leave Janina and other sections of Piraeus, retain- ing only a small triangle near Avlona in Albania. The unanimity of the Allied action is a source of satisfaction, as the Italian. aspirations ired a wider fleld but yielded in interest of the united action to withdraw all and leave Greece to the Greeks. Preparations are under way to call out the clusses of 1916 and 1917, ag- gregating 60,000 men. The Greek government is highly gratified at the result as showing the Allies are recognizing the territorial integrity of Greece. SPAIN INTERNS U BOAT.
