Representative Parker, republican, of New Jersey, was the only man o vote against the favorable report. It was upon his motion also that the maximum insurance was cut to $5,000. Mr. Parker will make a fight against the bill on the floor. He has in his distsict one of the largest life insur- ance companies in the United States. +> Representative Adamson, democrat, of Georgia, chairman of the commit- tee, said that he expected the only opposition to the bill is to be stirred up by insurance companies and by ad- vocates of the old pension system. He does not believe they will be able to make a formidable fight against the measure, and expects that it will pass the house with but limited debate. + Representative Rayburn, democrat, of Texas, will write the report on the bill and it will be presented to the house with a view to asking for its consideration by the house on Satur- day. This is contingent, however, upon the agtion taken by the. -ways and means committee on the eleven billion doltar bond issue now pending. Should this bill be ready by Saturday, Mr. Adamson said that he will not press his bill for consideration until the bond bill is passed.

FLIEF COMMITTEE TRIESTE, OBJECTIVE OF ITALIAN ATTACKS, sy IS AUSTRIA-HUNGARY’S PRINCIPAL PORT V/IEw OF TRIESTE One of these two pictures shows a panoramic view of the city of Trieste, against which the Italian attacks are aimed. Loss of this city will be a very severe blow to the Austrian cause. The other picture illustrates the manner in which Italian wound- ed are carried by cable down the steep mountains which have barred the Italians’ way to Trieste. This city is the principal seaport of Aus- tria-Hungary and the most important depot for the trade of the empire on the Adriatic. It is a bishop's see, the seat of an imperial academy, has a school of navigation and many other schools and educational institutions. There are also extensive manufactur- ing establishments. Trieste existed in Rdman days, but became impor- tant only about the middle of the elghteenth century, when its growth was fostered by the Empress Maria Theresa. PAGIFISTS INVITED | T0 NORTH DAKOTA Conference Barred in Minnesota From the Corbin Cabinet Lock: €Comfort pillows From the churches we have re- eceived a great deal of picked oakum, several boxes of old linen made up into dressings and over 500 pillows. The boy scouts have picked five boxes of oakum, one lady has made all the covers for the fracture pil- lows and a number of individuals have contributed comfort pillows, | clippings, eve dressings, towels and other old linen work. Any old linen or cotton is in great demand for the non-sterlized dress- ings and will be used to fill a real need. No .matter how old or torn there are many ways of using it. If anyone can possibly spare some of this old cloth, kindly send it to Mrs. H. B. Humason, 201 Vine street, and it will be greatly appreciated. The work of this committee is en- tirely supported by voluntary contri- butions. To date $1,219.39 has been expended, making an average of $208.23 per month. Contributions from anyone desiring to help support this work will be gratefully received by Mrs. H. B. Humason, chairman, or Mrs. Marcus White, treasurer. CHILDREN CAUSE AROUBLT. Man and Woman Arrested for Taking Law Into Own Hands. Steve Dunbkoski of Broad street was arraigned before Judge John H. Kirkham in police court today on a charge of assaulting 12-years-old John Kopek. The boy said that as he was ‘“telling on” Dunbkoski's son for throwing stones the older man grabbed him by the neck and choked him. The accused said the Kopek boy was bombarding his front door with bricks when he grabbed him *just to scare him.” Judgment was suspend- ed. ‘ Mrs. Dunbkoski, also of Broad street but no relation of Steve, was arraigned on a charge of beating eight-years-old Mary Zunowski. As in the other case, neighborhood dif- ferences entered into the casus belli, it being evident that the parents were on belligerent terms and wreaked their vengeance on the children Judgment was suspended on paymen{ of casts.

Privates Harry Schroeder, Harold Thompson and James Carroll of the 102nd U. S.

They were taken into custody by Offier W. S. Strolls and while lodged behind the bars awaiting their return to New Haven, they spent their iime singing “Home Swee Home" and “Auld Lang Syne.,” to Be Held With Gov. Frazier New York, AUE. 80.—By invitation of Governor Lynn J. Frazler of North Dakota, the peace conference of the People’s Council, which was pro- hibited by Governor Burnquist of Minnesota from meeting in Minne- apolis, will open Saturday at Fargo. N. D., it was announced at the coun- cil's headquarters here late yester- day. The special train carrying New York pacifists to Fargo left the West Shore, Weehawken station, at 2:30 p. m. today, and thus will enable the pacifists to adhere to their original plan to scatter anti-war propaganda en route, deliver rer platform speech- es and attract attention by a display of banners opposing the war. Governor Frazier's invitation came after hurried conferences by the pa- cifists at the People’s Council head- quarters, 2 West Thirteenth Street. Louis F.-Lochner, the pacifist ad- vance agent at Minneapolis had ad- vised Governor Frazier that 2,000 pa- cifist delegates were starting west- ward from all parts of the coyntry, | and that in view of the action of the Governor Minnesota prohibiting them from meeting in Minneapolis they had no place to go. Governor’s Imvitation. i Governor Frazier then telegraphed: The People’s Council of Amer- ica for Democracy and Peace will be guaranteed their constitu- tional rights in North Dakota. We are loyal and patriotic and believe in freedom of speech for all peoples. The invitation was accepted at once and orders were given to have the peace conference shifted to Fargo. But the pacifists announced they “were not through with Governor Burnquist.” Lella Fay Secor declared that an injunction had been asked in the Minnesota courts, restraining Gover- nor Burnquist from prohibiting the pacifists from visiting Minneapols. She said that if the injunction was granted the convention might be shifted again from Fargo to Minne- apolis. Mr. Lochner telegraphed that he had sent a protest to President Wil- son denouncing Governor Burnquist's action. “The denial of free speech in Min- nesota will enhance (the péace cause,” said Mr. Lochner. “It will be made a national issue whether a governor can take advantage of the war to creute himself a dictator.” The pacifists met all day yesterday to determine what course to pursue. At the meeting were Morris Hillquist, Rebecca Shelly, Rabbi Judah L. Mag- nes, Algernon Lee, Fela La Follette, daughter of Senator La Follette; James J. Bagley, Professoar H. W. L. Dana, Cyrstal Eastman, Jacob Panken, Winter Russell, J. B. Salutzky and Linden Gordon. Pacifists’ Statement. They issued a joint statetment de- claring that the peace movement would continue. The statement says: The action of Governor Burn- quist of Minnesota in prohibiting the contemplated meeting of the People’s Council is without any warrant in Jaw and is a flagrant ation of the constitutional rights of the citizens of the United States. The People’s Council and the movement represented by it will not be affected adversely by this unblushing exhibition of adminis- trative anarchism. It is just ac- tions of this kind that demon- strate loyal American citizens the nd@@ssity of an organization to maintain and protect the liber- ties and constitutional rights of the people during the war. It is not the propaganda of peace ad- vocates but the lawlessness of some of aur public officials that tends to discredit ‘the claim that this war is waged to make the world safe for democracy. A dispatch from Madison, Wis., in- dicates that the pacifists considered a plan to meet in Senator La Follette's state. The governor of Wisconsin in- sued a statement that he “intended to observe the constitution in its true sense, but no meeting started by ‘agi- tators to start dissension against the government would be allowed.” The pacifist train will be composed of eight coaches. One coach will be given over to stenographers to dq propaganda work en route. Fargo, N. D, Aug. 30.—In accord- ance with instructions from Governor Frazier, attorney general William Langer is on his way to Fargo today to take any steps necessary to pro- tect the members of the People's Council of, America in the exercise of their constitutional rights of peace- ful assembly and free speech and to prevent violence or mob action “in the event that members of the or- ganization hold their cogvention in Fargo. The governor’s instructions to the attorney general said the convention if held in Fargo would be under the eye of the federal authorities and if anything treasonable occurs or illegal developed it would be promptly and | properly handled.

WAR PROFITS DEBATE Flat Rate of 530 Per Cent, Favored by Radical Fac n—~Cloture May Shut Off Urinecessary Talk. Washington, Aug. 30.—The long ex- pected senate debate on war profits features of the war tax bill was finally in full swing today following dis- posal of the publishers tax provisions vesterday. Factions favoring even higher levies on war profits than the compromise advances of the finance committee were preparing to support a flat rate of at least 50 per cent. When debate opened Senator Under- wood was ready to speak in favor of Senator Bankhead’s substitute pro- viding mainly for a tax of 76 per cent. on profits based on capitalization of 20 per cent. and over. / Pending today was a petition for & cloture signed by 56 scnators, in an effort to limit debate and hasten pass- age of the bill.

PRESIDENT FIXES PRICE ON PAPER' OFFERS 10 It Manulacturers Must Furnish It} for 24-2 Cents Pound Washington, Aug. 30.—In an or- der which nwespapers publishers de- clare will serve as an important precendent, President Wilson has fixed a price of 214 cents on news- print paper for use in publishing the governments daily official bulletin. The order fixing the price was issued by Secretary Baker at the president's direction under the national defense act, which empowers the government to commandeer supplied needed for war purposes. It was directed to the International Paper company, which had declined to furnish newsprint for the bulletin at less than 3 cents & pound. Newspaper publishers who learned of the order today voiced the hope that it might openh the way for cheap- er newsprint paper to publishers gen- erally. They called attention to state- ments that the president’s price poli- cy will be one that provides the same price for public as for the gov- ernment. The president’s action was taken at the instance of the joint congressional committee on paper of which Sena- tor Fletcher is chairman, AWhen the bulletin first began publication the committee offered bids for newsprint and the cheapest price mamed was three cents. This, the committes de- cided was too high and appealed to the International on patriotic grounds to sell its product to the Public Printing office at 2% cents. The com- pany complied and for a time fur- nishea the paper but declared in- creasisg production costs compelled it to raise the price to tkree cents. Senator Fletcher went to the feder- al trade commission for its cost of production figures and the committee decided the International could sell at 21 cents and still meke a fair profit. The ssituation, then was laid before the president who asked At- torney Gen. Gregory for an opinion as to how far he could go under the defense act. The attorney general held that supply of raper for the bul- letin wes necessary for war purposes and recommended that the paper be taken if 21 cents was a fair price. The result was that the president directed Mr. Baker to go ahead and the International was ordered to supply a sufficlent amount of paper to print the bulletin at 23 cents.
