New Haven, Oct. 30.—Today’s wind and rain storm caused heavy damage throughout the state, property along the shore suffering heavier damage than during the storm of last Wed- nesday. The lighthouse alang the Connecticut shore is in serious danger of toppling over, the foundations having been weakened by last week's storm, and today's wind is causing | grave apprehension that it will fall into the sound. Onc . cottage was blown from its foundation -near Myrtle Beach, while several others were in danger of being blown over, telephone and telegraph companies put on extra gangs of men to keep their wires in working order, but even then communication in some seotions of the state was hard to get. In New Britain several lines were put out of commission, and the same was true in Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven and Bridgeport. ¥ The beach along the Branford section of the sound is piled high with wreckage this afternoon, and 150 feet of sea. wall was washed away at Han- cock Point. Piers were ocarried away, tod, and extra precautions are being taken to prevent loss of life. Barges in New Haven and Bridgeport were kept at their piers with the crews ready for any emergency. An unusually high tide is running, and at Milford wreckage is being washed from the shore to the trolley tracks, delaying traffic to Bridgeport and New Haven. The sea walls at Milford are being battered by the heavy tide and greater damage is ex- pected before the storm is over. State trolley and steam trafic was deldyed because of the storm.

Danbury, Oct. 30.—Judge James E. Walsh, of Greenwich, was appointed receiver of the Danbury and Bethel Street Railway company by Judge Burpee in the superior court here to- day, upon application of Albert H. Flint, of New York city, a creditor of the company, who alleges that the payment of a note for $1,000 is over- due. The financial troubles of the com- pPany apparently date from the time of its consolidation with the Bridge- port and Danbury Railroad, a partly completed one running from Bridge- port to Long Hill, a distance of about ten miles. It is understood that the local road has been obliged to.carry much of the financial burden of the Bridgeport line. S. W. C. Jones, for- mer chief owner of the road, and oth- er directors figure in a suit brought by minority stockholders about two years ago, an outcome of the consoli- dation with the Bridgeport property. «Charles T. Graham, of New Haven, and other minority stockholders re- cently secured control of the com- pany, taking over Mr. Jones’ inter- ests. Mr, Graham, who was In court today said that he was not aware un- ti] recently that the company’s finan- cial affairs were as bad as he had found them to be. He considered the receivership the best thing that could have happened under the circum- stances as it would enable the road to adjust its financial affairs. HIGH SCHEOL BOY IS KILLED BY OWN RIFLE Body of Hnward Kinne, 17, NO SEPARATE PEAGE FOR RUSSIA NOW Foreign Minister Talks to Prelim- inary Parliament in Petrograd SINISTER GERMAN AT, Trying to Cause Separation Between | Russia and Her Allies in Order to Use Russia Economically ‘War—Foreign Policy Unchanged. Petrograd, Oct, 29.—Foreign Min- ister Terestchenko in addressing the preliminary parliament today said a separate peace was impossible and that defense of Russian territory was one of the fundamental needs. The foreign minister said the abso- lute independence of Courland, and perhaps |of Poland and Lithuania, was impossible as it would meah that Russia would return to the days be- fore Peter the Great. He also’ as- serted that complete demobilization and disarmamnt and neutralization of canals and straits were impossible. Russia’s foreign policy has not changed the minister continued, since the first statement enunciating the principles of no indemnities, no an- nexations and the right of nations to self-definition. ““The people must understand that the war is being carried on, not by governments but by nations, he added. ‘“‘As the nations began the fighting so they must end it. Russia and France first held back the foe, and so they continue.’ M. Terestchenko declared that the offers for a separate peace and the sentiment in favor of them were strongest last May, when they were followed by the Russian offensive, “There is a rumor that the Allies wished to leave Russia to her fate’” the foreign minister continued, “but I state officially that it is untrue.” “‘Germany’s aim is to separate Rus- sia from the Allies and if possible to do this by peaceful means, in order to use Russia economically after- wards.

It would seem that Germany is putting forth her utmost efforts during the interval which must elapse before the weight of the United States can be brought to bear upon her weak and decimated battalions. “If we assume for the sake of ar- gument that-Germany can conclude a peace advantageous to herself before the United States can intervene, it 1s still to. be remembered that America 1s pledged to break the military power of Germany and make no peace with A the Honenzollerns.” Defense of City.

Such a com- mittee is in process of formation ac- cording to the war ministry. The cossack’s army union at Novo Cherkask calls the attention of the government to the gradual removal of cossacks from the guard over Gen.

Keep Hammering. the decision of Great Britain and France to help the Italians is ex- pressed by most of the morning news- papers which again urge that what- éver assistance is possible must be given without delay. There is, of course, no certain indication of the ex- act form this help will take, but the general assumption seems to be that concrete reinforcements' contributed by Great Britain and France will ap- pear on the Italian front. The Morning Post, however, con- tends that the best way of helping Italy is to keep hammeriig the Ger- mans on the western front. It adds: “A German victory over the Itallans will not help them if we keep striking hard in Flanders. It is a maxim in war never to allow the strategy to be diverted to the enemy, and every move of our enemy now is to attempt to create a diversion from the western front.” Taking the view that the German success is due partly to treachery and that the Germans are using the same tools in Italy as those with which the Russian armies were betrayed, the Post declare atesmen awake and \ctivities. This may be of even miore service than any military aid we can render.” The Post nevertheless, assumes that such military aid as can be given without weakening the pressure on the western front also will be furnished, (Continued on T}urd Page.) Federal officials said this man had a contract with a German shipbuilding concern which stipulated that he should sever his connection with the San Francisco plant whenever caued upon to do so. Officials sald they had no evldence pointing to a relation between the two men, but attached significance to the fact that both had plans of ships be- ing consructed a$ the same plant. At the office of the naval constructor they said plans also were found of two ships being built at a Seattle plant. GUESTS OF FINLAY American Scnators and Representa- tives Entertained By Lord High Chancellor of England, at Dinner. " London, Oct. 29.—Thirteen Ameri- can representatives and two senators were the guests of honor at a dinner glven this evening at the Athenaeuim club by the Lord High Chancellor, Sir R. B. Finlay.

Senators Kendrick of Wyoming and Kenyon of Iowa told of their experi- ences on the steamer on whjch they crossed the Atlantic which wwas at- tacked by a German submarine off the coast of Wales Saturday. Represen- tative John J. Rogers, of Massachu- setts, and James Parker, of New York, also were aboard the steamer. The gunners on the steamer fired several shots at the submarine which came very close to the mark. The U-boat submerged before it had time to launch a torpedo. FIRST PLEDGE DAY.

Washington, Oct. 30.—War caused an anomalous situation in the patent office, where the number of applications far patents on war de- vices increases daily, and the fear of ! giving valuable information to the enemy is causing the withholding of patent rghts to scores of inventors. Patent Commissioner Newton an- nounced today that the bureau with- in the last few weeks has refused | patents to about 60 war inventions, acting under the recent law giving the federal trade commission and the patent office authority to prevent pub- lication of patents which the enemy might use. A corps of W napolis graduates, trained technical problems of war, thousand or more patent papers is- sued weekly far details or significance, and choose those on which patent proceedings should be sus- pended during the war.

With the reopening of court follow- |ing the noonday recess vesterday the The state called Dr. Arhur J. Wolfe | of Hartford to the stand. He is a spe- | cialist in medical-legal cases and it was as an expert that he was called |into the case. He described to the jury the construction of {lie human body with especial attention to the ar- teries and veins of the throat and neck. Arteries, he said, carry blood from the heart, while veins conduct | the blood back to the heartl’ When | the principal artery of the neck is | severed the pulsations of the heart force the blood through the openins. sometimes with force enough to car- ry the stream of blood a distance of | eight feet. Examining the soldier's | coat worn by Wise on the night of the murder, Dr. Wolfe pointed to stains on the right sleeve which, he said, positively showed that such blood came from a severed artery. To a question from the state’s attorney, Dr. Wolfe said that should he cut Mr. Alcorn’s throat on the left side, the | plood woula spurt onto his (Dr. | Wolfe's) rieht side. Witness likewise describel the wound which Mrs. Tobin had as having been like a razor stab, rather than a slash. “I have no doubt in my mind but what that wound was !inflicted by someone other than the vietim,” said Dr. Wolfe. He also said that a sudden dig with the razor i would inflict the same kind of 4 wound as if the victim was being held | tightly at the time of the assault. If | the victim was attempting to flec the same kind of a wound could be in- fiicted, the witness sald. He did ad- mit that while “it is within the range or possibility for a person to inflict such a wound on himself,” he did “not think it is within the range of prob- ability.” The natural tendency of a suicide is to make a slash across the throat, rather than a stab, such as cut Mrs. Tobin’s throat, Dr. Wolfe ex- plained. On the left side as well as the right, both on the collar and front, there were arterial blood spurts on Wise's coat, Dr. Wolfe told Attorney Forward under cross-examination. Dr. Wolfe said it is possible and consistent for a person to run quite some distance with the throat cut as was Mrs. Tobin’s and, he added, it would be possible for the, victim to make one outery until the moment the windpipe was | severcd. The relative horizontal or oblique dircction of the throat cut | | me would depend upon the relative heights of the two principals, wit- ness d, explaining that if the as- sallant were about the same height as the victim the gash would be straight across. With the conclusion of Dr. Wolfe's testimony, in which he said 1t is absolutely impossible to tell by analysis or any other way the blood of a human being from that of any other if both specimens are dried.
