San Francisco, Aug. 27.—Announce- ment of President Jesse W. Lilienthal of the United Railroads, 1,700 of whose employes are on strike, that be- ginning today that company would begin operating cars on regular sched- ule with armed guards on each car; was met by Police Commissioner Theodore Roche with the statement | that police would remove the guards and arrest them. President Lilienthal declared that this move was the orly method to re- store service and said police protection had been 1inadequate. He further stated that the armed guards would be eliminated if the police furnished of- ficers for the cars. Butte, Aug. 27.—Thousands of min- ers are idle today because of the shut- down of all the copper mines of the district, made necessary by the clos- ing of the Washoe Smelting plant of the Anaconda Copper Mine company when, of 3,000 men employed on the day shift, only 110 reported for work. Indications are the independent mines of the district which did not shut down Friday, will be compelled to cease operations in the near future. Miners gradually are failing to report for work at those properties. The Machinist union has formulated new demands which members say they will insist upon. SCENE IN GREEK CHAMBER Venizelos and Others Rush to Pro- test Member Who Declares K!.ng‘ Constantine Was Dismissed by Ente Athens, Aug. 27.—M. Boussios, op- position member, raised a tumult in the chamber when he declared that King Constantine never abdicated but only had been dismissed by the En- tente powers as proved by the fact that the act of abdication had not been presented to the chamber. Pre- mier Venizelos and other deputies left their seats to protect M. Bous- sios from physical attacks by angry members of the majority. Later the possibility and oppor- tuneness of establishing a republic in Greece, was discussed. M. Venizelos declared: ‘‘Despite the weakening of the royal power through the fallen king’s ac- tions, the government, interpreting the feeling of the chamber, thinks another trial should.be given to tha royal institution in Greece. It 1is certainly the experiment we are ask- ing. I am certain the Greek people and majority representatives will ap- prove sincerely another trial in order to make strong and sure for certain the eventual working of the regima of a crowned republic.” NEWS FROM THE FRONT. Local Man liedl's From Brother Who is in the Service. Patrick Nolan of 116 Clark street is in receipt of an interesting letter from his brother Corporal James Nolan of the Allies army, who has been at the war front since the war began. At the writing of the missive, Corporal Nolan was a patient in a London army base hospital, suffering from a nervous breakdown, brought on by the harrowing experiences at the front. At the entrance of England into the fray, young Nolan, like many other gallant Irishmen, were ordered to the front, and since that time he has seen action at Verdun, the Somme and the Meuse. Although never re- siding in the United States, he is well known to many local sons of Erin who attended school with him. Be- sides his brother, a sister, Mrs, O'Keefe, of 116 Clark street, resides here. The fortunes of war may soon de- cree that the brothers who have been parted for years may meset, Patrick Nolan having been one of the local young men who registered on June 5 for military service. ; JAPANESE AT ARLINGTON Place Wreath on Grave of Diplomat ‘Who Helped Smooth Over Controv- ersy With China. ‘Washington, Aug. 27.—The Japan- ese mission visited today at Arlington National cemetery the tomb of Dur- ham White Stevens, the American dip- lomat, who, as official representative of the Japanese government helped to adjust the controversy with China regarding Korea.

London, Aug. 27.—Premier Keren- sky’s speech in opening the national conference did not satisfy a single party or succeed in uniting the differ- ent groups in mutual service for the country,” says the Exchange Telegram correspondent there. “The democrats are dissatisfied with the dictator-like gavernment. The anti-democrats expected a practical program for the carrying out of meas- ures to put down anarchy. They are also dissatisfied with the premier's declaration regarding the impossibility of imagining a country without free- dom, saying this is no time to talk of freedom and social reforms. “Monday is expected to be the day of atonement. The different groups are expected to speak out freely and Voice their aspirations. Much de- pends on whose words find an echo in M. Kerensky’s own aspirations. “Personally, I do not believe the cabinet will undergo changes, as a coalition is the only possible form of government at this juncture. Should the conference fail in a last effort to organize a national gavernment the responsibility will fall on those elements which put the interests of their own classes above those of the country. ‘“‘Moscow- has resumed its normal aspect. The strike has been discon- tinued and the Moscow council of warkmen’s and soldiers delegates, with other organizations, has appealed to the population to abstain from demon- stration. The Petrograd Maximilists of the central executive council have been deprived of their mandates on account of unwillingness to submit to the decision against separate action.” Premier Expresses Faith in Troops. Moscow, Sunday, Aug. 26.—Premier Kerensky, who came to Moscow yes- terday to attend the national confer- ence which now is being held for consideration of the military and political problems which confront the country, reviewed troops at the hip- podrome today, and in addressirg them sald he was convinced by thé valor they were showing that they would be able to drive back the cnemy at the front and crush attempt at a counter revolution. General Korniloff, the commander in-chief, arrived from Petrograd ani was greeted by great crowds. In an address he said it was a source of satisfaction to be able to tell the army that Moscow was the watch- word for the welfare of the country and war to a victorious end. The day was devoted to confer- ences of the different groups of dele- gates. The discussions dealt princi- pally with the government’s state- ment, the reply to be made and the attitude to be taken at the coming general meeting. The maximalists reached the conclusion that the con- ference does not represent the will of the nation and is of an anti-revolu- tionary character. They decided to demand from the assembly a dicta- torship of the proletariat, by the handing over of all power to the council of workmen’s and soldiers delegates, and voted to leave the hall if the majority should be unwilling to share their viewpoint. The internationalists insisted abolition of the death penalty and renunciation by the government of its purpose to put down by force the separatists movements in Fin- land and Ukraine. The popular so- clalists urged maintenance of the death penalty. At a meeting of con- stitutional democrats Prof. Paul Milu- koff said no solution could be reached except in line with the national pro- gram and that if Premier Kerensky did not put into execution the meas- ures foreshadowed the ruin of the country would be inevitable.

It was asserted by them that it was extremely doubtful if many of these children could sur- Vive the coming winter, if relief does not reach time in a more substanial form than heretofore. g In many instances, the missionaries said, little children scarcely old enough to feed themsglves were found by relief workers living ab- for enough food to keep them alive, and failing in that, subsisting on grass. The ma- Jority of these were girls, who had survived because of greater powers of resistance or having been fed by their brothers, who starved. The Turkish authorities are doing all in their power for the children, the missionaries said, and hospitals have been opened in several places in charge of Turkish women. The number of needy children, reached however is ‘small compared with the number in actual want. WAR SAVING CERTIFICATES America May Adopt British Plan and Issue of Denomination As Low As $5 Is Forecast. ‘Washington, Aug. 27.—Details of the warsaving certificate plan modelled somewhat after the British plan under which certificates of one pound’ are purchased in installments by stamps issued through the post offices virtually have been completed, are before Becretary McAdoo for con- sideration and probably will be an- nounced soon. Pending official announcement in- dications are that the American cer= tificates will be issued in denomina- tions as low as $6 and the British stamp scheme will be adhered to. Should the British plan be fol- lowed, payments could be made by purchase of distinctive stamps issued in sums less than one dollar at post offices and other governmental agen- cies. A book would be given each purchaser in which the stamps would be pasted. When the book is full it would be redeemed by a war savings certificate. MEXICANS SHIPPED HOME Iaborers Attempted Foment Trouble Beet Ficlds and Are Forced to Leave, to in Sugar Nogales, Arizona, Aug. 27.—Twenty- two Mexican laborers taken from the sugar beet flelds of Orange county, California ,after they had attempted to foment labor troubles among their fellow workers, according to immigra- tion officers, arrived here yesterday and were deported to Mexico. Los Angeles, Aug. 27.—Charles T. Connell, immigration inspector in charge of southern California, said that the 22 Mexican laborers deported yesterday at Nogales probably were Te- turned by the employers at whose re- quest they were admitted into this country. “Mexican beet fleld lahorers were admitted to this country under a special permit which provided they should engage in na activities other than those named in the permit,” said Connell. “In the event the men broke their contracts to work in the fields, their emplovers were obligated to re- turn them to Mexico at the point of their entry into this country.” FOUND DEAD IN BED.

To this must be added 'the volume of plain spoken editorial com- ment by liberal press, which states frankly that it will not be satisfled with half measures or substitute makeshifts. The discussion of national politics was continued by the committee yes- terday. Chancellor Michaelis twice took the floor for the purpose of ex- plaining his newly created council, made up of seven Reichstag deputics and seven members of the Bundes- rath, over which he is to preside. The’ new council will hold its first meeting on Tuesday, for the purpose of dis- cussing the government’s reply to the Papal peace note. The social democrats, centerists, national liber- als and progressives have agreed to co-operate with the government on this issue. .The various factions, how- ever, have informed the chancellor they have accepted the newly orga- nized body as a provisionary device and consider it the harbinger of more substantial and permanent measures which will secuyre to the Reichstag constitutional prerogatives and gréat- er responsibilities. Among other demands, the coali- tion will urge nullification of para- graph 9 of the imperial constitution, which prohibits Reichstag deputies from becoming members of the Fed- eral Council. Elimination of this re- striction would facilitate appointment of members of parliament to secre- taryships which carry with that mem- bership in the Bundesrath. Warm Oratory Marks Session. Detailed reports of vesterd sion of the main committee, at which the various factions apparently strove to outdo each other in the candor of their criticism, indicate that the chancellor was an attentive auditor and showed no inclination to oppose some of the more emphatic demands. In a statement supplementing his speech in the forenoon he said he would consent to consider the seven Reichstag deputies in the new coun- | cil as representatives of their political factions. The session afforded the party representatives ample oppor- tunity to bring up their grievances. Among them was the statement of Mathias Erzberger, leader of the cen- terists, that his party had not re- ceived proper recognition in the dis- tribution of government honors. The session gave the impression that advocates of parliamentary re- forms are inclined to support the chancellor in his opinion that reor- ganization cannot be undertaken hastily. It is plain at this date, how- ever, that the coalition, which has been augmented immeasurably by the adhesion of the national liberals, now constitutes a Reichstag majority with which the chancellor must reckon, ijs to enter the mnew session next month with a definite outlined pro- gram. That the majority parties are now: inclined to give the mnewly created council permanent iniportance is ir- dicated by press comment. The Scven Councillors. The elected deputies are: Socialfst- democrats, Philip Schediemann and Friederich Ebert; centerist, Mathias Erzberger and Herr Fehrenbach, progressi Friederich Von Payer:l nationad liberal, Dr. Gustav Strese- mann; conservative, Count Von West- arp. ‘While a slip of the tongue by the chancellor and a bungled report of ‘Wednesday's session were directly re- | sponsible for the tension of the past week, the existence of much com- bustible material of a political and parliamentary nature is likely to cail for other flare-ups, on account of the present mood and temper of the Reichstag majority. Wednesday’s reactfon is sympathetic of the ma- jority’s growing appetite for in- creased authority and responsibility, and further conflicts in the attempt to appease that appetite hardly are aveidable. i It now has become ! Chancellor Michaelis mude his second statement of Wednesday, definitely fixing his atttude toward the Rcich ~tag’s peace resolution, betore the in- troduction of the majority’s declara- tion regarding the establishment of full concordance hetween it and the statement of the chancellor on July 19. - Notwithstanding the chancellor's revised statement, which made {his protest superfluous, the declaration was read. The mischief thus was done and the outside world elved the impression that another erisis had come. For this the mismanagement of the censorship over roports of the | committee’s deliberations must be bla Over this bolling cauldron thers ! presides a new chancellor who made <Continued on Third Page.) known that ESTABLISHED AUSTRIANS ON ISONZO LIN FORCED TO GIVE UP GRO HOLD ITALIAN FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER Bound Over to Criminal Court in $10,000 Bonds. In lieu of furnishing bail of $10,000 Raffaele Abati of Myrtle street- was taken to the Hartford County jail this afternoon to await trial at the Sep- tember term of the superior court on a charge of assaulting with intention | of killing Dante Cantone, who dur- ing a fight in which razors and re- volvers figured conspicuously, was shot through the wrist. The fight oc- curred on Myrtle street last night and ended in a running gun fight between Policeman Meddrick Perry and Abati in which eleven shots were fired. Abati made good his escape but was subsequently found by Officer Her- bert C. Lyon and a searching party, hiding in the woods north of Burritt street. According to the testimony offered in police court today, James Sarra, another Myrtle street Italian, com- plained to Officer Perry early ' last night that a man, whose named he refused to divulge because he was afraid he would be murdered, had pushed the cold muzzle of a revolver into his stomach and threatemed to shoot him if he told the police he had a gun. Later Officer Perry saw Sarra and another man who was armed with a razor, fighting. As he placed the two under arrest he heard a shot, which passed through Sarra's wrist, instantly followed by a second which whizzed within two feet of his head and lodged in a tree. Turning his two prisoners over to some of the firemen at No. 4 Engine House, Offi- cer Perry gave chase. He alleges that Abati fired four shots at him as he fled. He returned the fire with his Colt’s automatic but all shots went wild. In the meantime Sarra’s com- panion in the earlier fight had es- caped from the firemen by slipping the mandcuff: Lawyer A, Greenberg appeared for Abati and asked that he be re- leased on honds of §500 or $700 which his client was able to furnish. Judge J. H. Kirkham considered the offense too serious, howover, and fixed the bonds at $10,000. Some More Gun Play. Returning from the above tioned gun fight Officer Perry found Salvatore and Frank Maceini and Dominic Tafillo loitering near the scene of the fight and testified that they refused to move and threatened him, whereupon he struck one with his night stick, then pulled his gun and held the trio at bay until the pa- trol arrived. Each man was fined $5 and costs for a technical breach of the peace. HIBBARD CASE CONTINUED New Britain Autoist Accused of Man- } men- slaughter to Be Given Hearing in Branford, Sept. 17. !
