Smith, in helping Isaac Deutsch to win the councilmanic nomination in the fifth ward, which resulted 1 nthe killing of a policeman. was described in the municipal court i at the second day’s hearing of the mayor and eight other defendants aggravated assault, and battery, and violations of election laws. The interest aroused by testimony connecting the Vare brothers, a con- gressman and state senator, with the election day happenings continued in the case today as witness after witness testified that the police ‘went the limit” to defeat James A. Carey, the leader of the ward. “Club heads” was the order re- ceived from Police Lieut. David Ben- nett, one officer testified. “Bring them {in, and if they are Deutsch’s men I will excuse them. The Carey men I'll send down,” was the further order of Bennett, the policeman said. The penalty for failure to “turn in” for Deutsch was transfer to another -po- lice district or resign, eight police- men told the court. One of the police- men refused to be transferred, quit and stayed in the ward to help Carey. One transferred man said Bennett told him that “clubs would be trump: in the fifth ward on election day. Bennett informed the policemen that he had the backing of the mayor, and that whatever he or Deutsch told the police to do they must do. Witnesses also testified that the mayor made a speech to a delegation of Deutsch men, in which he said that he wanted order preserved in the ward, and that if heads must be clubbed to maintain order, the police must club them. An incident of the hearing was the searching i open court of all the de- fendants except Mayor Smith and Willilam E. Finley for weaponss The court said it was reported that one of the men might have a pistol. All de- nied having any and none was found. James 1. Ciark, an employe of the O'Farrell Detective agency, who ad- mits he steered the New York gun- men about the ward on primary day, testified that he protested to Deutsch against the use of black jacks, and that Deutsch replied that the New York men could not fight the pick- axe men from the tenth ward with their mouths.

New York, Oct. 4—A jury before Justice Goff began ' taking testimony vesterday morning In the $250,000 damage suit brought by Mrs. Wilhel- mina Meyer-Mayo against Virginius St. Julian Mayo, radiator marmufactur- er, on the charge that he induced her to become his wife under the false representation that he was single. The case went to the jury early in the af- ternoon, and after being out only thirty minutes a verdict for $100,000 was returned. There was no defense. The plaintiff, who has called herself ‘Wilhelmina Meyer since learning that Mayo had another wife living when he married her, testified that she first The regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Y.

JUST AS NECESSARY. Bread Needed As Well As Bullets, As Army Eats. Hartford, Oct. 4.—Bread is just as necessary as bullets in fighting the war for democracy Dr. Richard Dem- ing Hollington of Providence in ad- dressing a public meeting.in the in- terest of food conservation in Con- necticut in the chamber of the house at the capitol this afternoon. He said that people may talk easily and well of liberty loans and a big army to win the war but that army must have food—it must have bread and sugar— and if people go on using- up wheat that army will not be fed. If peo- ple will not conserve the essential foods now there looms up the pros- pect of bread cards and restricted rations. People must have a sharper realization, Dr. Hollington said, of the need to prevent waste, overeating of those things which the army needs, and the economical use of evervthing which the figllting man requires. Dr. Hollington said he believed that it was possible to get every person | in the state to sign a pledge to keep it to conserve food. He said that Connecticut probably can sign up 200,000 and that efficlent organiza- Hon can be maintained in every one of the 168 towns. D.

Mayo was then in prison under a body at- tachment arising out of a judsment against him in a business transaction. He married her on April 2, 1904, James W. Osborne, counsel for Mayo, contended that the measure of the damages suffered by the plaintiff should be the $2,600 a year he earned when he first deceived her into mar- riage and not based on the fortune he accumulated during the dozen years he lived with her. The court upheld him. Testimony was offered bearing on the suicide of Mayo's stenographer in New Haven, .which brought about the disclosure that Mayo had lived in Brooklyn with Lois Dudley, by whom he has three children, and finally the statement of Mrs. Florence Weeks Mayo in Scranton, Penn., that she was the legal wife of Mayo. The plaintiff | then left Mayo and the real Mrs. ! Mayo got a divorce. Counsel for Miss Meyer showed that even after the first Mrs. Mayo recelved her decree the defendant refused to marry Miss Mever legally because he was obligat- ed to Lois Dudley. Miss Meyer testi- fied that while she lived in Mayo's home he told her his income from his radiator manufacturing business was $100,000 a year, and that he had $100,000 insurance. Justice Goff reserved decision on a motion to set aside the verdict as ex- cessive. g HE HAS HIS SAY. Von Hindenburg Sends a Message to People Through Press. | Amsterdam, Oct. 4.—Field Marshal von Hindenburg has made a general reply to the congratulations sent to him on his 70th birthday, which is published in the German press. It is in the form of an appeal to the Ger- man people to ‘‘remain united and not trouble about what may happen after the war, because this merely carries discord into our ranks and strength- ens the hopes of our enemies. “Be conflident that Germany wlll get what she needs for her security and that both air and space will be given to the German oaks for their free development,” the reply con- tinues. ‘“Keep your muscles tense. your nerves firm, your eyes on the goal.” charged with conspiracy to murder, | CONGRESS T0 ADJOURN Soldiers and Sailors’ Civil Rights' Bill Likely to Go Over to the Regular Session on December 4. ‘Washington, Oct. 4.—Congress will end its extraordinary war session, which began April 2, on Saturday, or possibly on Friday. ! Agreement of the senate today to | take a final vote at 5 o'clock today on the Administration Soldiers and Sailors’ Insurance bill and the adop- tion, with record-breaking speed, of the conference report on the War De- ficlency Appropriation bill paved the way for adjournment until the regular December session. Arrangements for the formalities were made by Senator Martin and Representative Kitchin, majority lead- ers. Mr. Kitchin prepared to intro- duce in the house tomorrow a reso- lution proposing adjournment at § o’clock on Saturday. Such speed was made on legislation in the senate late in the day, however, that Senator Martin said tonight that it might be { possible to finish on Friday. The military insurance and defi- clency appropriation measures are the only important bills awaiting final action which will go through at this session. Leaders are determined to pass over all other legislation until December, including the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Rights bill, which the house took up today and probably will pass tomorrow. time will be required for conference agreement on the insurance meas- ure after the final vote in the senate tomorrow and prompt approval by the house on the deficiency appropria- tion final draft also is scheduled. Before adjourning both houses will send a committee to President Wil- son to inquire formally if he wishes any other matters disposed of, but so many members of both bodies have already left the city, and the demand for immediate adjournment is so in- sistent that the program for adjourn- ment no later than Saturday is re- garded as certain to be carried.

Durham, Conn., Oct. 4.—Mrs. Laura Robinson of Durham is dead, and her nephew Robert Watson of New Haven is being held without bail to await the outcome of the coroner’s inquest, as the result of an automobile ac- cident here last night.

B NEW ITALIAN MINISTER Rev. Aurclio Sofia Secured to Tak stop his and it bridge, over- Permanent Pastorate of Mission at South Congregational Church. The Italian Mission at the South Congregational church, which in the past has been without a permanent minister, has at last secured a min- ister with a wide scope of experience to take charge of the work of the mission. He is Rev. Aurelio Sofia. Professor Bissiri, who has handled the work of the mission temporarily in the past, will not be able to con- tinue his work as he has now se- cured a permanent position as teach- ' er at the Wallingford High school. Rev. Aurelio Sofia is a former stu- dent of the Bible Teachers Training | school in New York city and is a graduate of the McCormick Theologi- cal Seminary in Chicago. During the summer while he was taking his course at the theological seminary he went to Michigan and-in accordance with the course that he was taking took up the work of the mission. Mr. Sofia is to reside permanently and is to concentrate his entire time on the Italian mission work. Under the instruction of Pro- fessor Bissiri, the mission has gained great headway. It has been learned that many of the men in the Italian mission have either been drafted or enlisted. At present the names of those that have gone cannat ke stated, but at a later date an honor role will be drawn up of those who have left. Mr. Sofla is to commence his duties sometime this week.

Extra Tax on Earnings Exceeding $6,000 Washington, Oct. 4.—With the signing yesterday by the president of the $2,634,870,000 War Revenue bill, members of both houses of congress are awakening to the fact that the individual excess profits tax, written into the bill in the secret sessions of the conference between the two houses, will provoke great criticism and, they fear, bring about wide- spread injustice. While it does not seem to have been the intention to bring about that result, a literal reading of the law apparently imposes upon every per- son in the United States engaged in an ‘‘occupation,” whether an inde- pendent profession like that of the doctor or the lawyer, or the occupa- tion of a salaried subordinate, a tax of 8 per cent. upon all his earnings above $6,000 a year, and this in ad- dition to the heavy income tax. This section, which has all the ear- marks of a legislative “joker,” is No. 209, levylng an 8 per cent. ‘excess profits tax on the incomes of men in professions and occupations on all money above $6,000 a year.”” The conferees had in mind lawyers mak- ing large fees, contending that the $100,000-a-year corporation attorney should pay an excess profits tax, as well ag a corporation .earning that money; but the effect of the meas- ure is to discriminate heavily in favor of the man who receives, an income from invested money, the remittance man, and the idle rich with plenty of income and no occupation. This bit of legislation is the result of the nervous worry of the last hours of the cohference and the determined effort to get a bill before both houses raising a certain amount of mone: Many members of congress now look upon it as an example of the evils to be expected from legislation framed in secret proceedings and then sud- denly thrown into each branch of congress to be adopted at high speed. Owing to the insistence of Repre- sentative Kitchin, chairman of ‘the ways and means. committee of the house, a cloak of secrecy was thrown around the proceedings of the con- ference, and inquiries for the most part were treated with scant cburtesy or a gruff refusal Behind this barbed wire the conferees sat down to their work in the last hours and framed an excess profits tax for in- dividuals which will work out as a penalization upon indnstry and talent. A Round-Table Product. No member the conference com- mittee claims authorship of:this sec- tion. It appears that it was the out-d| growth of a round-table conference. As nearly as can be gathered from the reluctant conferees this outgrowth of ideas happened in this way. After long and tiring sessions, the conference reached an agreement on the taxes for incomes and corpora- tions. This was fairly well worked out, after many ho of give and take. When these taxes were agreed upon, the question of individuals mak- ing large fees was brought up. This produced a long wrangle. The sen- ators on the conference committee seemed to put the greatest obstacles in the way of any such tax, while the house members were all for it. ANOTHER INVENTION. Machine ¥or Utilizing Free Given Secret Test. Washington, Oct. 4.—The house bill providing for tests of a mysteri- ous machine for utilizing free ener- gy, devised by Garabed T. K. Giragos- sian, an Armenian inventor from Bos- ton, went to the senate today and con- gressmen, enthusiastic over the war possibilities of the machine, planned a drive for immediate action. Giragossian so impressed five mem- bers of the house patents committee at a secret demonstration that they recommended passage of the bill to provide for a demonstration before a board of five scientists and the secre- tary of the interior as a preliminary to the government buying the rights to use the device. Former Speaker Cannon, who in the face of ridicule years ago forced through the resolution for testing Prof. Langley's flying machine, sup- ported the resolution yesterday. ’ nergy PAREN’ TIGHT.

An incident was brought about to- day with the marching away of the drafted men to the Ayer, Mass., camp, which shows that local merchants are imbued with proper patriotic spirit, even at a sacrifice to their own busi- ness interests.
