PRICE THREE CENTS. * WAR TAX BILL BRITAI NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, MONDAY, AUGUST MAY NOT BE BRITAIN PUTS BAN PASSED FOR ENTIRE MONTH| N PEAGE MISSION General Debate Begins in Senate With No Action Expected for at Least Two Weeks. McADOO TO CONFER ON WAR EXPENSES Secretary of Treasury Issues State- Urging Congress to Speed Passage Which He Considers as Omne of Comntry’s Biggest Aids in Guaran- teeing Success of War. ‘Washington, Aug. 13.—General de- bate on the $2,006,000,000 war tax bill began in the Senate' today, Senator Simmons in charge of the measure having finished his opening statement Saturday. The leaders are hopeful of passage of the bill inside of two weeks but many senators doubt if this can be accomplished under a month. Secretary McAdoo will confer with Chairman Kitchin of the House ways and means committee probably to- morrow regarding 'plans for raising part of the additional $6,000,000,000 required to meet war expenses until July 1, 1918. How much will be asked for to meet present needs is not known but it may be as much as $2,- 000,000,000. Leaders of both houses are ready to #co-operate in putting thrpugh legis- lation for any reasonable sum the ad- ministration may desire. They strong- ly favor the raising of the additional funds by issuance of bonds and certifi- cates of indebtedness rather than by taxation. 3 In a statement published today Sec- retary McAdoo said prompt passage of the army and navy insurance bill would . “immeasurably increase America's chances of winning the war,” and ex- pressed the hope that the.bill would be enacted ‘‘before the first soldier of the new national army begins active duty,” about September 1. Adminis- tration leaders in the house are pre- pared to expedite thq measure, and steps to this end probably will be . taken within the next few days. ‘ Action by the senate will have to await the dispdsition of the revenue bill. # “In September approximately 800,- 000 men will be sent to army camps throughout the country to train as soldiers for the greatest war of all time,” said Mr. McAdoo’s statement. America’s chance of Winning the war 7 —and it 18 the power and resources of America that must win this war—Will be immesurably increased if the war insurance bill now pending in the con- gress is promptly enacted into law America must not be disgraced by a failure to provide for the support of the families of the men whom she takes from their hames and places upon the battlefields. This is the time = to hearten our men as they enter upon this supreme service of sacrifica for the nation. This is the time to en- hance their morale and to sustain and comfort those who are left behind and are required to make sacrifices as great as those who die upon the fleld af battle. “I earnestly hope that the measure now pending in the congress will be * supported by such an unmistakable expression of public opinion that it will be enacted into law before the first soldier in the new national army begins active military duty.” , of Insurance Measure, THREAT TO “JOY RIDERS.” HIBBARD HELD ON MANSLAUGHTER COUNT New Britain Youth Drove Auto That Killed Two Men. New Haven, Aug. 13.—Bennet Hib-. bard of New Britain is held criminal- ly responsible for causing the death of two Italians in Branford on August 6, and the police today received orders to arrest him on the charge of manslaughter. The evidence according to Deputy Coroner Wynne in his finding, was to the effect that Hibbard in his auto- mobile was racing with a large tour- ing car and he struck both men who ‘were riding bicycles. Both died short- ly after from the injuries. The mis- ‘hap took place in West Main street, Branford. The evidence shows that: the bicyclists were proceeding on their own side of the street. The coroner condemns racing of automobiles on the public highways and ‘streets and says the police should make arrests to stop this'practice.

Manning of the bureau of mines in which he asks the co-operation of automobile owners in stopping the practice. Enough gasoline to care for the Te- quirements of America and perhaps , " that of its allies will be saved, in the 7 opinion of Dr. Manning “if automoble owners of the country will stop un- necessary extravagant pleasure riding and if owners and dealers handle this fuel in a careful manner. “A patriotic, thoughtful and unsel- fish response to this suggestion,” he said, ‘would at once solve one of the perplexing problems now before the \ war making authorities. In order that the war may be carried out success- fully, the army and navy will have to have immediately on hand enough gasoline for the airplames, trucks, au- tomobiles, tractors and other ma- chines. There must be no dilly-dally- ing about this supply of gasoline and there won't be. DED BY LOCOMOTIVE.

Hartford, Aug. 13.—Ernest Stilke of Hartford, summarily arrested for violation of his alien permit, Sunday morning, by Special Agent Lane, told the agent a story of how he had been offered $1,000 if he would blow up a munition plant. Stilke is a toolmaker and received a permit to travel between his home and the factory where he was em- ployed by the most direct route. He was arrested near an arms factory. It was some time ago, said Stilke, that an Italtan accosted him and said he was foolish to work ‘for small wages as & toolmaker.” The man continued, said Stilke, *‘with his of- fer to give him $1,000 to blow up the munition factory.

London, Aug. 13.—Andrew Bonar Law, the government spokesman in the House of Commons told the mem- bers of the lower House this after- noon that the government had decided that permission to attend the interna~ tonal soclalist conference at Stock- holm would not be granted to British delegates. Mr. Bonar Law said: The law offices of the crown have advised the government that it is not legal for any person resident in his Majesty’s dominions to engage in a conference with enemy subjects. Therefore, permission to attend the Stockholm conference will not ' be granted. b same decision has been made by the governments of the Unitéd States, France and Italy with which his Majesty’s government has been in communication.” : A statemerit by Arthur Henderson, the labor leader and minister without portfolio in the British' war council Who resigned Saturday, was expected to be made this afternoon in parlia- ment, and it was assumed that Pre- mier Lloyd George would reply im- mediately. It was reported that Mr. Henderson would demand the produc- | tion of all communications between the British and Russian governments Wwith reference to the Stockholm con- ference with a view to showing that the premier put a wrong interpreta- tion on the Russian telegram he quot- ed'in a letter to Mr. Henderson. / If the House .of Commons indorses the demand a secret sesssion is likely to be held for the communication of certain documents, reference ' being made in morning newspapers to a telegram which, it is stated, M. Keren- sky, the Russian premler, sent to Al- bert Thomas, French minister of mu- nitions, declaring that the Russian government not only was not interest- ed in the Stockholm meeting, but that Premier Kerencky hoped the confer- ence would not be held. Russian delegates Eflich and Rou- sanoff, now in London, without refer- ring specifically to this alleged tele- gram, have given to the Daily News a statement to the effect that there s no evidence that Premier Kerensky and the Russian government oppose the conference and declaring they re- ceived from the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers’ delegates less than a week ago a request to hasten arrange- ments for the conference. They say the communication received by the British government from Petrograd does not alter its position in the least degree and affirms the Russian gov- ernment cannot officially support the conference but certainly does not op- pose it. Political Shoals Ahead. It seems to be the general opinion of parliamentary writers that things will not be straightened out without trouble. The possible dissolution of Parllament to ascertain the country’s feelings by a gederal election is sug- gested by the Daily News, which sup- ports Mr. Henderson and which says the government is approaching a se- rious crisis. If the labor conference to be held on the 21st upholds Mr. Henderson and endorses the vote at the labor convention Friday to attend the Stockholm meeting, all lJabor min- isters, who number seven, must with- draw from the government, the paper says. In such circumstances, accord- ing to the premier's friends, he will immediately advise the king to dis- .solve Parliament. On the other hand the Daily News says that if the con- ference fails to support Henderson the crisis will be ended. Commenting on the decision of the British labor conference to send dele- gates to the socialist meeting at Stock- holm, Vorwaerts, the soclalist organ of Berlin, says, according to a despatch to the Exchange Telegraph company: “We hope when the delegates ar- rive that they will understand their mission is quite a different spirit from that indicated by Henderson. —They must understand that it is impossible for them to preach a continuation of the war by giving German socialists additional evidence against the Ger- man government. One single discus- sion with the Germans will show the English hew naive they are. This is an advantage we hope for in the com- ing discussion. Therefore we rL:)uk:o in this forward step . It cannot remain the only step.” Thomas' Case Like Henderson's. Paris, Aug. 13.—The decision of the permanent administrative committee of the French socialist party that Vrench socialist delegates shall go to the international consulative confer- ence at Stockholm, as ahnounced yes- terday places Albert Thomas, minister of munitions and socialist leader, in a delicate position stmilar to that of Arthur Henderson, British labor leader who resigned as minister with- out portfolio on Saturday, inasmuch as there is a conflict between the decision of M. Thomas' party and the expressed intentions of the government of which ite is a member. In a long speech to his constituents (Continued On Ninth Page). SALAZAR’S CAREER ENDED BY BULLETS Former Chief of Staff to Villa Killed by Home Guard DEATH NEAR ASCENCION Bolicved to Have Been Responsible for Revolution Ag\alnst"Mudero in - 1911—Omnce Ally Huerta. * of Dictator Juarez, Mex., Aug. 13.—Jose Ynez Salazar, a revolutionary leader and former chief of staff to Francisco Villa, was shot and killed at the No- gales ranch, a short distance from As- cencion, Tuesday. Americans arriving here today from Casas Grandes said Salazar had been killed by a small band of Home Guards who were organized to pro- tect the Casas Grandes-Ascencion district. \ Jose Ynez Salazar has been one of the striking flgures of the Mexican revolutionary activities since the be- ginning of the Madero revolution in 1911. He was credifed with starting the revolution ‘against ~ Madero to- gether with Emilio Campa, a physi- clan from St. Louis, Mo., who also had strong socialist ideas he wanted to apply to the Mexican situation. In February, 1912, Salazar ahd Cam- | pa’ ‘occupied Juarez under the red flag of the second revolution. banner gave the new movement This its 'name’ 0f “Réd Flaggers.” Pascual Orozco, Madero's , former commander-in-chief, joinad Salazar and’ = Campa and -the campaign against the Madero troops followed. Salazar led his troops in the battle of ' Rollano when the federals were defeated, captured Parral, and later made his campaign through the Mor- mon settlements of Western Chihua- hua during which many of the col- onies were burned and the Mormon settlers driven to the border. Joins Hands With Huerta. When General Huerta seized the control of affairs in Mexico City and declared himself dictator, Salazar and Orozco joined the Huerta army. They fought at the battle of Ojinaga against Villa’s forces- in January 1914 and Salazar escaped when the Huerta army fled across the border. He was captured and taken to New Mexico to answer a charge of violat: ing the American neutrality laws. Eventually he was acquitted and -again took -the'fleld east of Juarez, failed and surrendered to the Car- ranza officlals in Chihuahua City, was glven amnesty 'but later arrested on a charge of fomenting a revolution- ary movement. When Villa attacked Chihuahua City on the eve of September 16, 1916, one of his first acts was to throw open the penitentiary and lib- erate the prisoners. Salazar. was among these prisoners and he joined Villa’s forces and was made chief of Villa’s staff. Prior to this time he and Villa had been bitter enemies. Salazar participated in the second at- tack on Chihuahua City on Novem- ber 27. . Later Salazar with a small force, appeared on the border southeast of Juarez, raided American mines, killed American owned cattle and raided ranches. Afterward he offered to surrender if glven amnesty. With him was the remnant of his com- mand, 70 ragged, half-starved Mexi- cans mounted on burrows and cow ponies. to reunite his family and live on his ranch in Mexico in peace. DENNIS J.

BERLIN REPUDIATES | GERARD'S TELEGRAM Semi-Oficial Newspaper Denies Kaiser’s Message Ever Existed MEMORANDUM POSSIBLE "Ambiguou‘s and Disloyal Attitude of Great Britain” Emphasized But It Was Too Late for Intervention, Statement Declares. Berlin, via Amsterdam, Aug. 13.— The semi-official Nordeutsch Allge- | meine Zeitung denies the existence of | the telegram allegd by James W. Gerard, the former American am- | bassador at Berlin, to have been sent | by Emperor William to President | ‘Wilson in August, 1914, when the em- peror is quoted as having asserted that, Belgium’s neutrality “had to be violated by Germany on strategical grounds.” The alleged telegram, which has reached Berlin by way of Switzerland, has the emperor saying that King George sent him ' word through the emperor’s brother, Prince Henry, that Great Britain would re- main neutral if war broke out on the continent involving Germany and France and Austria and Russia. The Nordutsch says: “We are in a position to declare that no such telegram from the em- peror exists. It is true that Mr. Gerard was given an'audience on August 10 in order to give him an opportunity of placing President Wil- son’s offer of mediation before the emperor. The president's personal message to the emperor read as fol- lows: I feel it to be my right and my ' duty, in accordance with Article III of the convention, to declare to you in a spirit of truest friend- ship that I would welcome any opportunity to act in the interest of European peace whether now or at any time that might be bet- er fitted, to rendef you and all concerned services which would give me satisfaction and joy. Too Late For Mediation. ° “This proposal was made at the time when the armies of both sides had already crossed the frontier and | when it seemed out of the question to all a halt to events. emperor «could, therefore. only have his thanks conveyed to President Wilson for his offer and thereby remark that while the present moment was too early for mediation by the neutral powers the president’s friendly proposal might later be returned to. “The emperor then conversed for some time further with Mr. Gerard and explained to him the events that led up to the outbreak of the war. The emperor particularly painted out the ambiguous and disloyal attitude of Great Britain, which had destroyed all hope of a peaceful agreement, Mr. Gerard’s statements in his memoirs appear to be a reproduction of this conversation. If the press In enemy countries sees revelations in them, that only shows that they are ignorant of the German white book which set forth the same events. “Possibly during the conversation the emperor wrote a memorandum for the ambassador so that he might not announce anything to Washington that would be incarrect. In that case it would be a matter of record destined to assist Mr. Gerard’s memory, but it would not be a communication from the emperor to President Wilson.” The Cologne Gazette says there is no apparent reason to doubt the genuineness of the emperor’s telegram as published by Mr. Gerard. It says it cannot show its contents serve as fresh proof of Germany’s guilt as it only gives new evidence of the cunning and ambiguous policy followed by Great Britain in the days prior to the outbreak of the war. The paper further sees in the Gerard revelations another move in a plan to exploit the Stockholm conference in favor of the Entente in putting the question for the responsibility of the outbreak of the war ,and forcing the socialists into the position of accused parties. jreport at the camp, August 27.

MACHINISTS "OUT About 250 Employes of Bridgeport Concern Strike for Increase in Wages and Eeight-Hour Day. Bridgeport, Aug. 13.—About 250 machinists, said by the union leaders to be the entire force, struck at the plant of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co. this morning, to enforce demands for a ten per cent increase in wages, min- imum scales for various branches of the trade and a formal recognition of the eight-hour day. Of the strikers 130 are said to be members of the union and the rest “outsiders.” The demands were presented about a week ago in continuation of a move- ment to get similar conditions in all the factories here. The company de- clined to grant the demands and asked for federal arbitration. About ten craft for the government are in proc- ess of construction at the plant and work on all of them will be suspended temporarily. The union has estab- plant. MAN \‘_’ITHOUT A COUNTRY.
