FOREIGN SHIPS IN COASTWISE ‘TRADE Plan Would Permit Use of Can- adian Vessels Along Atlantic Washington, Aug. 1.—The United States shipping board has perfected plans for employing vessels of foreign registry in coastwise trade, and with the approval of Secretary Redfleld of the department of commerce, has sub- mitted to the Merchant Marine com- mittee af the house the draft of a joint resalution, which read as follows: “Resolved, That during the pres- ent war or emergency, the presi- dent may, if in his opinion the in- terests of the United States so require, permit by proclamation, vessels of foreign registry to en- gage in the coastwise trade of the United States, within such limits and under such conditions as he may deem wise. “The chief purpase of the resolu- tion,” Mr. Redfleld said, “is to allow Canadian vessels on the Great Lakes to do coastwise business between American ports. The Canadian gov- ernment very handsomely acted on the matter some time since as concerns us, allowing the coastwise privilege to American vessels in Canadian ports. “There is urgent necessity for the employment af all possible tonnage on the Great Lakes in the coal and iron ore hauling. Owing to the very late spring the navigation season opened some three weeks late. Also, the rail- road situation at that time was com- plicated oy some confusion and car shortage. . Consequently the stocks of coal at lake distributing points are thousands of tons short of what they should be. If we have an early win- ter and consequent closing of lake navigation, there would be caused much suffering and damage to indus- try in the northwest on account of shortage of coal. “So it is important to get every pos- sible bottom carrving coal to the nortbwestern points before navigation is stopped. The vessels in this trade bring cargoes of iron ore back to American ports and then take coal on the outbound trip. The unprecedented demand for iron and iron ore makes the nced for additional ore carriers lacute—almost as much so as for more coal carriers. Also these vessels will bring grain down in addition to iron ore. Sherc are numerous Canadian els that will engage in this trade if the present restrictions are removed uring the war emergency. “We need greater freedam in coast- vise trade. Suppose, for instance, a [British vesscl discharged cargo at Nor- olk and was ordered to Galveston for cargo of cotton. Suppose also that khat was need of coal ut Galveston, d this vessel could carry a consider- ould not take that cargo without sub- Becting itself to heavy penalties, as fnatters now stand: as badly as coal s feeded in England for stocks, the ves | could not proceed fram Philadel- bhia to Boston with coal. It could hot take lumber for shipyards, or any- hing else. “The secretary of commerce has the ght under the law to remit these eavy penalties and has been doing so n particular instances, but the ship- bing hoard thinks, and I heartily con- ur, that to have the caastwise penal- les suspended generally will prove of onsiderable benefit.’ DR/ \I"'l‘ BOARD WORKING. mpered by the excessive heat, as a lack of a sufficient quantity tationery and other necessary quipment. both Dbranches of New 3ritain’s draft exemption board are ktruggling hard to complete all Loutine work this week so that they n summon the first quota of men or examination early next week. is is particularly desirous since the octogs in the city have postponed heir annual outing in order to be esent and assist the draft board. jore volunteers, however, both clerks nd doctors, are needed )Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. MASHER SENTENGED T0 TERM IN JALL Judge Gives Chilani Three Montbs to Think It Over It was almost possible to fry egss on the judge's bench in the crowded Police court chamber this morning. There were a number of cases, more or less serious, before the court in a tedious sesslon. Albert Chilani, charged with breach of the peace, was sentenced to three months’in jail for insulting & woman. He is said to have approached Miss Theresa Danni, a pretty little Italian girl, as she was walking along _the railroad arcade with, Mrs. John Wal- dron and offered@ her $60 to take a walk with him. The women com- plained to Policeman Strolls.that the man had been:following them all evening. Chilani told the court that he knew the girl in the old cquntry and that he just spoke to her as an acquaintance, but the young woman insisted that she had never seen the man before. Slashing in Barroom. Teofin Lisaj and Julius Koskoski were before the court on the chargc of assaulting each other. They were said to have been in a fight in a Main street saloon last night. Dr. Henry T. Bray testified that he was called to Lisaj's house on Orange street late last night and treated the man for a severe body wound. Wit- nesses of the fight testified that the men grappled but they did not see the alleged cutting. Lisaj saild that Koskoski came into the saloon and got into an argument with him about buying a drink. Koskoski then pulled out a bank book and said, “I don’t care, I can lick you and pay for it.” He said that he defended himself as well as he could but was cut in the lower part of the abdomen, before the fight was over. Koskoski said the other man was to blame for the fight and that there was no cutting. He was fined $16 and costs and Lisaj was discharged. Reckless Driver Fined. Joseph Freeman of Portland street, Hartford, wos fined $25 for a viola- tion of the motor vehicle law. He was charged with reckless driving yesterday noon, when he ran into and damaged an auto owned by Mike Sul- ble amount and had cargo offered. It | livan and driven by Frank Spielman, at the corner of Winter and Spring stroets. Freeman did not have the right of way, but kept on going and badly damaged the Sullivan machine. Samuel Rawlings, a witness, testified that he had trouble saving a horse he was driving from being struck by Freeman’s car. Tailor Assessed $10. Thomas Murray, the Main street tailor, charged with a violation of the automobile law, was fined $10 and costs for not having registered his automobile. Murray was in an ac- cident in the White Mountains a few weeks ago, and wrecked his automo- bile. He then bought a new one and instead of registering it, marked the old registration number on some card- board markers and hung them on the new car. 'He was arrested by Po- liceman Clarence Lamphere. Heats Affects Imagination. Carlo Lombardi, in court on the charge of breach of the peace, wa¢ discharged by Judge Meskill, who held that his accusers must have been affected by the heat. Victoria Danjo, one of the state’s witnesses, testifled that he saw Liombardo in a Myrtle street store having an argument. He remonstrated with Lombardo, who, he said, called him a “boob” and told him to get out of the city if he knew what ‘was good for him. He fald on Monday Lombardo threatened to shoot, him and showed him a revolver, saying, “If T don’t kill you and your brother I'll write a letter to New Ha- ven and get the gang to come up here and they will do it.”” Other witnesses failed to substantiate the Dario brothers’ testimony and the accused was discharged. Cessole Impelluso was charged with keeping a pool room on High street, in which he allowed boys under 18 vears old to play pool. Zigmund Yucknavitch, the witness upon whom the charge was hrought, appeared to be more than 18 years old, according to documents presented, and the ac- cused was discharged. A fine of $7 was imposed on Louis Minnio on the charge of assaulting Joseph Imbrio. The latter’s right eye, left cheek and lips showed evidence of abuse. The fight started in a sa- loon on Lafayette street and finished up on High street. Policeman Mec- Avay made the arrest. George Back Again. George Lawrence, who was in court on Monday for drunkenness and a breach of the peace, consisting of. un- authorfzed visits to other boarders' bedrooms at his Church street board- | ing house, appeared before the judge again this morning on the charge of being drunk. Further probation was revoked and he was fined $7 and costs. | The case of Herbert Bernhardt, charged with a viclation of the motor vehicle law, was continued until to- morrow morning. MIMIC WAR AT FRAMINGHAM. | Trenches Blown Up With Charges of Dynamite. Framingham, Aug. 1.—Members of Ninth regiment, Massachusetts Na- tional Guard, were given a spectacular demonstration of war methods today. Under the direction of Canadian offi- cers who came here to assist in the instruction of the troops after they had been sent home because of wounds, trenches constructed by the guardsmen were blown up by heavy | charges of dynamite. A large number of civilian specta- j tors came to watch the proceedings, which preceded a fleld day of the regiment, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST You Are Better Prepared for the present future when you have and a Bank Account with us and add regular deposits .to your credit.

FREE POSTAGE FOR SOLDIERS FAVORED No Opposition to Lonergan's Bill Found in Congress Washington, Aug. 1.—Leaders of both “houses of congress endorsed the project of extending the mail frank- ing privilege to the American soldiers in France. The proposal already has been brought informally to the atten- tion of the members of the post office committee, it has the approval of the Postmaster General Albert S. Burle- son, and it can be predicted with rea- sonable cértainty that the necessary legislation will be passed by cangress as soon as it can be drafted and an opportunity is found for considering it. Representative Lonergan of Con necticut, has taken the initiative by introducing a bill to provide that “duly certifled letters of soldiers, sail- ors and marines in the service of the United States during the present war be forwarded without any payment of postage whatever.” Such a measure would probably have the approval of the house if it could be brought up. In the ordinary course, however, it is more probable that the senate will be the first to act by considering the proposition as a rider to the Revenue bill. “1 am, of course,” said Senator Bankhead of Alabama, chairman of the senate committee on post offices and post roads, ‘“‘very much in favor of the general proposition to give our soldiers the franking privilege, assum- ing that the proper safeguards will be thrown about it, so that it cannot be abused. No specific legislation has yet been proposed, and there is no measure pending before the post of- fice committee in connection with which it might be considered. It could, however, be put on the Rev- enue bill s an amendment.” Legislation in Doubt. What form the legislation will take has not vet been decided. Nor has it been determined to what extent soldiers’ malil, incoming and outgoing, will be carried free. The French gov- érnment, it is reported in press de- spatches, has given the American sol- diers the free use of the mails, but they are technically obliged to affix stamps to mail carried by the Amer- ican posts. They are at present given the privilegze of sending mail un- stamped, with the indorsement of a commissioned officer, with the under- standing that the postage will be col- lected at the destination on this side of the ocean. It was explained 'at the post office department that everything pagssiblo is being done in this respect for the soldiers abroad, but that the post- master general cannot without spe- cific authority of congress direct, that their mail be carried free. Expressions of opinion on the part of leaders in congress indicated that there will be no opposition to the conferring of the necessary authority if it can be done in a satisfactory way. The difficulty arises mainly in the way of finding opportunity of bring- ing the legislation before congress. Indications now are that it will be offered as an amendment to the Rev- enue bill. The postmaster general has gone as far as he can under the law to grant the use of the postal facilities for the convenience and comfort of the sol- diers abroad. An order has been jssued providing that magazines col- lected In this country may be sent without wrappers by merely afixing a one cent stamp to the cover. They will be distributed through the ‘depot quartermasters. No individual address will be required. A postal agency will be established at Bordeaux and a pos- tal force will be sent there to facil- itate the handling of first and sec- ond class mail for the American troops. Postmaster General Burleson has alsc given orders that non-deliverable magazines and periodicals also be sent to France.
