USED WRONG MARKER - James McLey, New H‘(ven\ ‘Auto Deal- er, Taxed $25-~Young Man Fined for Beating Mother. 4 James McLey of New Haven, an automobile dealer, was arraigned in police court this morning, ‘charged with violation of the automobile law in regard to’ proper markers for ve- hicles. He pleaded - guilty before Judge John H. Kirkham. The trial was the culmination of the acrest of Harry Fleischman, chauffeur for the equipment. Saturday, September 1, We are going to Thomaston on an all night hike. I wish to call attention to the fact that the scoutmasters’ supper, to be held in the bungalow at Sunset Rock,. will be held rain or shine. 1All the scouts of the New Britain council will be expected to wear the metal badge of rank on the front of the scout hat. I found it necessary to make this rul- ing on account of so many organiza- tions wearing the khaki uniform, that it makes it very desirable for us to safeguard our movements from\unfair criticisin due to misunderstanding oc- casioned by similarity of such uni- form to those worn by our organiza- tion. The scout executive will® expect all the scouts to live up to this rule and put it into effect at once. Plans are underway to organize a troop of the caddies at the Shuttle Meadow Golf club. Edward Sharp, assistant caddy master, will have charge of the troop. The troop will be known as Troop 6. MARRIED AT POLICE STATION. Man and Woman Had Lived Together Two Years. Rose Panczack and Anton Harbore both of 193 Beaver street, were mar- ried in the police stdtion this morn- ing by Clerk Danberg, following their arrest by Officers O’'Mara and Meehan this morning charged with' miscon- duct. According to the story told by Elm City Froduce company on Main street, Augast 11, by Trafic Officer Lanphere, who found the car oper- ated by Fleischman without the prop- er markers. According to the story told by Fleischman at the time, the company he works for bought the car from McLey, who allowed.them 1o use a marker 189X which 's a deal- er's. The law specifies that a pur- chaser may be granted this right for a period of five days.. It was, how- ever, found that McLey had painted over the front marker on tho .1a- chine. He was found guilty of this offense and a fine of $25 was im- posed. For shouting his ‘wares at the top of his voice and peddling without a license, Myer Swetchnick was ‘ar- raigned in court. He pleaded guilty. Officer Nealon testified to -arresting the accused on Broad street yesterday on a complaint of residents of the street. A fine of $2 covering both offenses was levied. Arthur Landry of 317 Lincoln street was put .to plea on a charge of as- saulting his mother and brother at his home yesterday afternoon. Accord- ing to the testimony, the accused be- came peevish because his brother dis- posed of an old stove, and he pro- ceeded to assault his mother and brother. He was fined $15 and costs. Annie Chinella pleaded guilty to the charges of assault and drunkenness yesterday afternoon. * Annle got load- ed up early in the day and proceeded to display her Amazopian ability with the result that a Mrs. Valentine be- came the butt of her abuse. Annie will repose in Sevms street for the next 15 days in addition to a $5 fine. | SUNSHINERS AT THE BEACH. Looal Women Make Possible Outing for Boys. Members of .the Sunshine society yesterday visited Chalker Beach, near Saybrook, where 30 boys from the Childrens’ Home are spending a two weeks’ outing through the courtesy of the society. Ladies of the Sun- sine society collected enough money from pérsons interested in this phil- anthropic work to defray all the ex- penses of the little ones. One mem- ber yesterday expressed gratification over the generosity of those who con- tributed to the fresh air fund and singled out this work of charity as one of the greatest blessings that ever befel the boys at the shore. The: 0ld Johnson farm has been Tented. It holds an old fashioned farm house with 12 large rooms and the little fellows are gathered there under the competent care of two ma- trons. AUTOIST HITS AUTOIST. Paul Tovino of 195 South street, reported to the police last evening that while driving toward this city near Corbin’s corner his machine struck Albert Marks of 24 Beaver street. According to Lovino's story, Marks had alighted from his machine and was conversing with an- other autoist across the street, and when he tried to drive between them the distance would not permit with- Mlll\\ the woman, she has been living with Harbore for over two years but has never been wed to him. Two chil- ! dren have been horn in that time. The couple were brought together and questioned and like Barkis both were willing to become man and wife. The ceremony was carried out with- out any pomp or ceremony with Of- ficer Lamphere and Miss Elsie G. Osborn, the probation officer, acting as witnesses. LANSING’S FAITH "IN RUSSIA STRONG | New Government Stronger Than in Months, He Says Washington, Aug. 24.—Administra- tion officlals today anxiously awaited official advices on the latest develop- ments in Russia’s acute internal situa- tion which appears to be further ag- gravated by the new German offensive launched against Riga. The immediate salvation of the new democracy rests, it is believed here, in the action to be taken by the great na- tional council to be held in Moscaw. The conservative elements of the na- tion are expected to attempt to force the provisional government to throw oft the socialistic dominatian of the Soldiers’ and Workmen's Council. The gathering probably will result in the formation of a strong central gov- ernment and resumption of the drive against the Central Powers, or else open clvil strife. Little can be done by the Allied nations to ameliorate the situation, it being felt that Russia’s fate rests with herself. { members here are being devoted to the problems of financial and indus- trial aid which the United States will give to strengthen the position of the new republic. ' Russia’s main need now is railroad equipment and to re- store and build up her transportation tacilities. Complete canfidence in the new Rus- slan government was expressed today by the state department. Secretary’ Lansing denied that news from Russia had caused this govern- ment to take a pessimistic view of the situation declaring that instead of there prevailing a feeling of pessi- mism quite the contrary had been created by the confldential despatches that have been received. “I regard the government of Russia as stronger today than it has been for a manth,” he said. “I mean in general,” he added, “and from political and military points of view. This opinion is based upon re- ports more or less confidential that we have been getting.” DRAFT APPEALS TO BE PUBLIO.

This newspaper has made arrangements with the Council of Defense to publish these interviews, and they will appear Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. “WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR?” An Interview with Lieutenant-Gov- ernor Clifford B. Wilson, Mayor of Bridgeport. In answering the question ‘“What are we fighting for?” asked by a rep- resentative of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, as one of the se- ries of “Made-in-Connecticut War In- terviews” obtained by the Council and made public through the newspapers, Lieutenant-Governor Clifford B. Wil- son, Mayor of Bridgeport, made the following reply: “To those of this country who are in a position to participate in the world struggle comes a peculiar op- portunity. The cause of the Allles must be successful not only for them and their peoples, but for the welfare of the German people themselves. The time has come when the people of the whole civilized world must be given the right to legislate for and to govern themselves. This unprecedent- od war is one for principle, a clash be- tween the old order of the divine right of kings and the enlightened system of govarnment of, for and by the gov- erened. This country, through its 140 vears of progress under , this latter form has proven conclusively that such a government can endure. It is the duty and peculiar privilege of this nation to lend its force to the accom- plishment of the high principles of a democracy and to assist in establish- ing the equality of man throughout the world. We must and will protect our own land. Our larger opporuni- ty, however, is to mankind in general. “Imbued with the unusual oppor- tunity which is presented to us, I be- lleve that the American people will avail themselves of this worthy service and bring added lustre to their coun- try, themselves and the splendid tra- ditlons of/the United Sates.” HARTFORD From Now Until Sept. 14 Inclusive We Close Fridays at 12 SUMMER DRESSES Regular Price up to $9.98.

Connecting with $40'TRUMBULL ST) HARTFORD MACMILLAN.ON' HIS WAY HOME AGAIN Word Received From Arctic Ex plorer Party Has Started Back New York 24.—Donald B. MacMil- lan, head of the Crocker Land Artic expedition, and the three companions who have faced death with him many times during the last four years are safe. They are bound for home on the rescue ship Neptune, commanded by Captain Robert Bartlett, command- er of Admiral Peary’s North Pole ex- pedition. It is probable that they will reach New York early in September. They found no Crocker Land, but in their failure achieved greater success. They bring with them what, it is be- liever, will prove to be one df the most valuable contributions to science and history ever made by a single expedi- tion. Although word of the safety of the party has been brought back from time to time by returning members of the expedition a message to Professor Henry Fairfleld Osborne, president of the American Museum of Natural{His- tory, signed by the explorer, is the first direct communication that has been had with him. The message, sent from the Neptune by Way of Mako- vick, Labrador, and Fogo, Newfound- land, read: “All well—every one and every thing on board. Hovey left Disco by land sledge in July. Ice very heavy Mel- ville Bay. Captain Bob did fine work. Probably proceed to St. John's.” Three Rescue'Parties. It is probable that no Arctic expedi- tion ever proved more costly from a purely financial standpoint. ~The ex- plorers lost the first vessel on which they left New oYtk on the rocks off Barge Point, Labrador, and were forced to abandon their vessel in the great ice floes of the northern waters. Three relief expeditions were sent to the Arctic before MacMillan was rescued. The MacMillan expedition left New York harbor on July 2, 1913. The primary abejct was to search for the land reported by Admiral Peary as having been seen but not explored on his expedition to the North Pole in 1906. After the loss of the sealer Diana, on which the party started, the etire outfit of the explorers was trans- ferred to the steamer Erik and the re- mainder of the trip to Etah, Green- and, was accomplished in safety. After a winter spent at Etah, the party started across land ta Cape Thomas Hubbard, from which point | Admiral Peary had reported that he had seen hitherto: undiscovered land in the frozen seas. After caching a quantity of provisions at Cape Thomas Hubbard, the party finally began the long sledge trip across the ice flelds. 130 miles'and then reluctantly gave up their quest, convinced that Crocker Land had never been more than a mirage. The return to Etah was made in the winter af 1914-'15 and then MacMillan determined. to .devote at least a year ta geological and glaclal research work, It was at this time that the first re- lief expedition started north. Headed«. by Dr..Edmund Otis Hovey, curator of geology in the American Museum, the party sailed on the steamer George B. Cluett in 1915. After reaching North Star Bay in September of the same vear, the ice prevented further prog- ress and Dr. Hovey made the remain- der of the journey to Etah, a distance of 150 miles, by motor boat and. sledges. Second Relief Steamer Held Up. A second relief steamer . started north in 1916, but could not-go beyond Melville Bay because of the ice. The third _expedition started early last month from St. John's. The message from the returning explorer tells of its, success and its arrival 1t St. John's isC expected daily. Of the original members of th ex- pedition which sailed away from New York in 1913, only three remained with their leader throughout the four years. They are Capt. George B. . Comer, ice pilot and scientist; Jona- of the vessel and soundings, and W. Elmer Ekblaw, geologist. All the oth- ers at one time or another were sent back, either with messages of reassur- ance or to summon the assistance that was so often needed. The last of the original expedition to attempt to force his way out of the ice prison in which they were living was Mr. Ekblaw, but he was overcomet on the southern Greenland coast, and from the fact that his.name is men- tioned as being on board the Neptune it is assumed that he must have been rescued hy the steamer, either on the trip north or on her return. ’ Of all the incidents of individual heroism connected with the expedition none equals that of Dr. Hovey, who took three companions in January, 1916, and started on a 1,500-mile sled journey across Melville Bay to South Greenland in an effort to send out news of the party and secure a relief ship.
