DEFY EXEMPTION BOARDS. BARBERS FINED, HAD NO STATE LIGENSE Commissioner Makes Visit to Gity, Arrests Follow Police court offered little in the way of sensatlon this morning, although there were several fights aired and two barbers came in for a fine at the hands of Judge John H. Kirkham. Joseph Yakooblian, & barber em- ployed by William Leontaris at 35 Lafayette strect, was fined $20 and costs for practicing his trade without a state <licerse. He was convicted on the evidence collected by State Inspec-. tor Serpia. His employer was also ar- ralgne for employing a non-licensed barber and he was fined $5 and costs. John Kerensky, who denled all re- lationship to the Savior of Russia, but who demonstrated a similar aptitude for fighting, was charged with beating up John Horweicz in a Main street saloon last night. The two men are | employed at the same factory and Horweicz recently had a finger mashed while at work. Kerensky, noting the accident, declared that he a better workman, since he nev- er suffered any injuries, and then the | fight began. A jail sentence of 30 days was meted out to John Ratta of Clark street who [ 1ast night, gave his wife a severe beat- ing and also took occasion to give a few wallops to Fidela Ratta. The only excuse offered by the accused was that he was drunk. He said that on Monday night a neighbor told him his wife had deserted him and he pro- ceeded to get drunk to drown his sor- row. Returning home last night with considerable liquor burning in his system he was surprised to find that his wife had not left him. His sur- prise turned to anger to find that he had been duped and he immediately proceeded to clean out the house. John Suski, alias Zuk, whose broth- er was fined' in court on Monday for participating in a fight, was fined $10 for taking part in the same fight. This fight occurred on Sunday afternon at a brick yard and Harry Novick was badly beaten during the melee. The case against Joseph Matola of Cherry street, charged with assault- ing his wife several weeks ago, was continued for two months on proba- tion, the accused protesting that here- after he will be a dutiful husband.

As a result, few men in uniform were visible about the city last night and many rumors were spread about that the men were to break camp during the night and be transferred to some other camp not designated. Such, howgver, did not happen for at a late hdur last night all was quiet and peaceful at the camp and following the celebrtions held during the early part of the eve- ning by the men who were held by the new orders in camp no unwonted activities were in evidence. The sol- diers were not permitted to pass the bridge across West river on Derby avenue where armed guards had been stationed and were patroling the ave- nue bevond the bridge. The guards received strict orders not to pass any man in a soldier’s uniform. When official information was asked as to the reason for the boys being keut in camp last night it was stated that they were being held be- cause the officrs wished to keep full track of the boys. Some Overstayed Leave. Explanation wa; made that some of the men have been overstaying their leaves and action has been taken to keep better track of the men. The order to keep the men in camp probably gave rise to the rumors that spread about the city that the troopss were going to break camp last night and the camp itself was beseiged with queries as to the truth of this report. People began to notice early in the evening that there were few men in uniforms in sight cn the streets where such throngs of khaki clad men have become an accepted part of the eve- ning throngs. The idea spread that the camp was to be abandoned during the night and reports even went SO far as to declare that tents were be- ing struck at the camp. Meanwhile the hour for taps came at Camp Yale and passed and instead of a bustling hive of preparation the camp lay, a quiet place of repose under the calm August moon. The men celebrated Hartford night last night at the Yale field Recreation tents. It was certainly a great time for the big gathering that attended the concert. While the dancing was being conducted a group of about a hundred merry, soldiers formed in line and paraded about the camp ground withaut disturbance. Tho Nest. SWINDLER GETS $10. Posed as Insurance Man and Collected From Grocer. An insurance agent walked into the stare of William Trewhella, the grocer, on Church street yesterday afternoon and said that his insurance policy had expired. The agent sald he was the representative of the Hartford Acci- dent and Indemnity company. He told Mr. Trewhella that the policy could be renewed on deposit of $10. Mr. Trew- hella replied that his son-in-aw took care of all the insurance policies but that if the consent of his son-in-law could be obtained over the telephone he was willing to Tenew the policy. A conversation over the telephone en- sued after the son’s number had been given, but Mr. Trewhella heard only one end of it. With the *sanction” of his son-in- law the agent pocketed the $10 and gave Mr. Trewhella a receipt. After the stranger left Mr. Trewhella gave the receipt more than a casual glance and found on close inspection that the insurance renewal and receipt was only worthless advertising paper. | The trick had been worked and’the local man was the victim and he is thankful that he lost only $10. The post mortem consists of a description of the stranger. He was 30 years old 6 feet 6 inches tall, wore a dark suit, straw hat, was smooth faced and weighed about 160 pounds. { lavit, filed with Board No. 73, T that I must refuse to submit pilitarism, which.aims to make the ker the tool of the capitalist, In uiring new markets, or all markets.

F. TO CONTINUE ATTACKS. Can’t Be Shut Up By Pistol-Shooting Mayor, They Say. New York, Aug. 29.—John D. Moore, national secretary of the Friends of Irish Freedom, declared last night that its meeting tonight at Thirty-seventh street and Broadway, speakers would continue their attacks on England in spite of the opinion of the muagistrates that such action constituted e breach of the peace. “We are going ahead with our meetings notwithstanding the choke- free-speech statement of Chief Mag- istrate McAdoo, which is plainly In- spired by Mayor Mitchel,” said Mr. Mooge. ‘“We never quit.” In a message to Magistrate Adoo, Mr. Moore said: “No board of magistrates appoint- ed by a pistol-shooting mayor is go- ing to repeal the constitution of the United States. You might as well understand that now. The founders of thisg nation thought free speech &o precious that the very first amend- ment to the federal constitution was passed to take the polson out of exactly such would-be tyrants as you, They never heard of the board of city magistrates, which depends for its jobs upon the will of a Rockefeller mayor."” BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion. Onepackage. Mec- men were headed by a ‘“selected band” of soldiers playing tin cans and barrel drums with tHe fifes. And not onceé did the dancers get out of step from the irregularity of the music produced by the bandmen of the jolly bunch that marched around the field. The officers did not interrupt the marchers but rather joined in their fun and merriment, which seemed a spontaneous result of their en- forced presence in camp for the eve- ning. The Hartord reception was held under the direction of Miss Kath- erine Mullen, of the Y. W. C. A. The program consisted of singing by a few of the soldiers, and dances, and ane soldier gave an exhibition of fancy rope swinging. The entire perform- ance kept the attendants on their feet all the time and the affair proved a great success. The 102d has been considerably aug- mented by the transfer to it of 38 re- serves from the First regiment. All of them have been temporarily attached to headquarters company, although they may be assigned elsewhere later. Their status has been a matter ot First regiment on Aug. 5. but this step clears the situation to some ex- tent. The 102d alsa profits greatly by the move, because svery one of the re- serves is a seasoned man with at least three yvears experience. ANARCHISTS FACE PRISON Berkman, Becker and Kramer Must Go Back to Atlanta If Bail is Not Forthcoming. New York, Aug. 29.—Alexander Berkman, Louis Kramer and Morris Becker, anarchists, convicted of anti- conscription conspiracies and sen- tenced to long prison terms, will be returned to the Atlanta Federal Peni- tentiary within a week unless they furnish bail that has\been fixed for their liberty pending appeal. Discovery that the tric have been lounging in the Toms for more than a month when they should have been busy in the workshops at Atlanta an- gered United States Judge Mayer yes- terday. The men, who were sent to prison in June, were brought back here with Emma Goldman, convicted on similar charges, upon representa- tion that they were ready to furnish bail pending the higher court’s de- cision on their cases, hut Miss Gold- man was the only one to do so. Berkman, it is sald, is afraid of re- arest and extradition to San Fran- cisco, where he has been indicted for alleged complicity in the Prepared- ness Day bomb plot, which resulted in the death of ten persons. Kramer and Becker fear that should they give bail they will be immediately seized by the immigration authorities as un- desirable aliens. Judge Mayer has fixed Tuesday next at 2:30 p. m. as the time limit for furnishing their bonds. It is said that the prisoners wish to stay here so that they may keep in touch with their fellow anarchists, and this the court does not intend to permit, Federal offcials have remarked the tact that since the imposition of sum- mary prison sentences upon the rad- provesit. 25cat all fcal agitators anarchy = has become | very unpopular in New York, doubt ever since they came intc the: Now is Just the Time to Do That Papering and Painting.

EXPECTS WAR TO LAST THREE YEARS Germans Have Captured Grain and Metals in East New York, Aug. 29.—Dr. Charles A. Whitney, who formerly lived in New York but for the last eight years has made his home in the Chaussee d’ Antin, Parls, arrived yesterday at an Atlantic port. When asked ahout the probable length of the war he said: “No one in France is sanguine about an early peace. The Russian debacle in the Spring made that im- possible, and the military and civil authorities with whom I conversed in Paris just before sailing were of the opinion that the war would go on for another two or three years or more. The failure of the Russian Army al- lowed the Germans to get into the grain fieids, and their forces are now marching toward Odessa. In addi- tion the Germans secured several com- paratively rich copper mines when they drove the Russians back from Galicia. The Germans have secured quantities of iron ore near Verdun, and the reason for their persistent attacks is to get entire control of the mines. “Therefore, with fresh supplies of grain and copper and enough iron ore and coal, the Germans will be able, the military experts of the Allies assume, to withstand a further campaign through the Winter and Summer of 1917-18 and there is every prospect that the war will last a long time. In the Trenches By Oct. 1. “I saw the United States troops in their camps, which are spread out over a large area in Lorraine and they appeared to be in good health and spirits. A French officer, who is in touch with General Pershing, daily, informed me that he consldered the American troops would be well enough tralned in the methods of modern warfare to enter the trenches about Oct. 1. The sight of American sol- diers, who are in evidence everywhere, has had a good effect and the people in the streets of Paris are wildly en- thuslastic over them.” ‘With regard to the American Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. work in France Dr. Whitney said that there was just o slight feeling of jealousy on the part of the French people but they did not make any protest and were always po- lite. “The only disagreeable feature in Paris now 18 the war bread which has just been introduced. I believa there is rice flour mixed with tha wheat and also barley, which gives it a dark color and a disagrecable taste, in addition to causing a slight sickness among the people. There are two meatless days a week, when the butcher is forbidden to sell meat of any kind under a severe penalty. The war bread gets better as ona leaves Parjs In any direction with every mile traveled, and at Bordeaud 1 found it almost palatable. ““The military hospitals in Paris like the Val de Grace, built by Anne of Austria after the birth of Louis XIV. have no diet kitchens for the wound- ed. One patient with a_normal tem- perature of 104 and cannot eat such solid food, has to go without. A com- mittee is being formed in Paris, head- ed by an English woman, to organize diet kitchens, and another has been started at Meux, twenty miles east of Paris.” Yankee Hustle Impressive. William T. Hardy, who returned to an Atlantic port after spending three months in France, said that the French people had expressed their admiration of the manner in which the American army officers with the expeditionary force have cut through the regulation red tape. Recently an officer wanted to telephone to a city 60 miles away from his camp and was informed he must wait eight hours. He got a line in ten minutes by ap- pealing to the comander of his di. visions. The next morning a detail of the United States Signal corps was busy running a special telephone wire for the use of the American officers. To reach a camp 50 miles from ‘% supply base it was necessary to travel 150 miles by a circuitous railroad according to Mr. Hardy, and the American commander got permission to start the construction of a direct road after the first supply train hal traveled to the camp. William Dugan of Rochester, N. Y, returned after serving three months with the American Flying section at- tached to the French army He will join the United States army Aviation Corps. Fiftfen ambulance drivers also arrived ‘on leave. The passengers on the liner were alarmed after breakfast on Aug 20 when four shots were fired from the storm gun at a submarine about a mile away on the quarter. The ship was swuhg at right angles, and four explosive shells were fired at the sub- marine disappeared. On the prev- fous night a wireless message was received stating that a steamship had been sunk in nearly the same posi- tion. AGITATOR JATLED. Man Who Attacked Jewish Race Given One Month. New York, Aug. 29—Russell Dunne, the speaker who assailed the Jews in a speech in Madison Square last Sat- urday afternoon and precipitated a fight, was sentenced to one month in the workhouse by Magistrate Mec- Quade in Men’'s Night Court last night. Dunne's defense was that he didn’t alm hig disparaging remarks at Jews, and he and his witnesses lald great emphasis on the allegation that he had not mention the word ‘““Jew,” but after hearing the testimony of a score or more of witnesses, the mag- istrate found Dunne guilty. “Let this be a warning to sald the magistrate, ‘“and to thoss like you who use your methods.

Most of the jewels were found under the floor of a boarding house at New Canaan, where Maloney lived. Maloney had some on his person, the police say. Mrs. Rubenstein, wife of L. W. Rubenstein, a Maiden Lane jeweler, opened the door of her apartment, | No. 135 West Ninety-seventh street, to admit what she believed were two inspectors for the Edison Electric company. The instant the door closed the men seized Mrs. Rubenstein, bound and gagged her and took | every valuable jewel she had. When found the woman was insensible. ' Detectives Leonard, O'Toole, Finan | and Kerr of the Fourth Branch Bu- | reau questioned , employees of the apartment house. From the- hailbays | they learned that the thieves left in | such a hurry they hadn’t stopped to | take the elevator. On the ground floor they were stopped, but were al- | lowed to proceed when they said they | were friends of ““George” and “Char- ley.” “George” and “Charley turned out to be watchmen. One was Charles Loeber of No. 500 West One Hundred and Seventy-first street, and the oth- | er, Rudolph Demaeck of No. 239 East | Eighteith street. Demaeck was found | but Loeber had disappeared and it | was some days before he was dis- covered at Asbury Park, N. J. He was indicted for complicity in the robbery and Demaeck was held as a material witness. { When the detectives searched Loe- bers rooms they found Maloney’s dis- charge from the Twelfth Regiment. It shows that he left the service Junc 11, This led to Maloney arrest, The detectives learned that Ma- loney left his home at No. 113 West | Sixty-Third street shortly after the | robbery and went to Connecticut.

ARGENTINA APPEASED. Berlin Will Allow Republic Freedom of Seas. Buenos Aires, Aug. 29.—Germany's reply to Argentina's note embodying 'demands in connection with the sub- marine campaign as affecting Argen- tine shipping has been received. In official circles it was tated that the reply was satisfactory. According to the newspaper La Razon the Ger- man note meets all the demands of Argentina. The note says that Germany “in or- der to maintain friendly relations with Argentina is willing to modify her b coasts, allowing freedom of the seas to vessels under the Argentine flaz rrying food.” The note also promises the payment of an indemnity for the sinking of the Argentine steamer Toro by a Ger- This indemnity is to be arranged by German and Argen- tina appraisers. \ A The note, which was received by | the government last night, consists of fifteen pages. The forelgn minister and President Irigoyen spent yester- day morning conferring concerning the note, which probably will be given out for publication officially to- day. Both the forcign minister and the president were outspoken in their in- dignation vesterday that an intima- tion of the contents of the note was given to an afternoon newspaper by Count von Luxburg, the German min- ster, before it was made public by ‘the rgentine government, thus pre- venting secret consideration of the document before the gist of the reply was generally known. A wireless mossage from Zurich which reached London Thursday said: “Germany has replied to the Argen tine note, which demanded compen- sation for the torpedoed Argentine ships and a pledge from Germany that she would abstain from torpe- doing Argentine vessels in the future.
