NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1920—TWENTY PAGES GAILLAUX GRILLED IN TREASON TRIAL Denies He Was Tntimate With Comnt Karl Yon Luxburg WISHED FOR CONGILIATION But Denies That His Policy Was One of Rapprochement With Germany ~Always Thought German Policy ‘Was Impudent. Paris, Feb., 20.—Joseph Caillaux, former premier took the witness stand today when his trial was resumed be- fore the senate sitting as a high court on the charge of intriguing to bring about a premature and msnon- orable peace with Germany. The tria which began last Tuesday. was put over until today because of the in- auguration of President and the rcading of his message the senate and chamber Wednesday and Thursda: PDidn’t Know Luxburg. M. Caillaux was examined with re- gard to his trip to South America and his relations with James Minotto, son- in-law of Louis F. Swift of Chicago, ‘who in 1918 was interned in the United States as an alien enemy: He said his pre-war policy, which was being termed by his enemies as a policy of rapprochement with Ger- many, was not that, but was a pol icy of “Europea. conciliation.” He declared that he had never heard of Count Karl Von Luxburg, former German minister to Argentina until five days before he left on his jour- ney to South America. While in South America, ML Caillaux said, he had /always told those around him that the Berlin policy was impudent and unmannerly. A letter from Jean Jules Jusser- and. French ambassador to the tnit- ed States, was read at this afternoon’s session asking that he be excused from appearing pérsonally but that instead, his deposition be read. To this M. Moutet of M. Caillaux’s coun- sel, did not ebject. When a similar request on beéhalf of Alexandre Con- ty, French ambassador to Brazil, however, M. Moutet objected on the ground of the importance of M. Con- ty's evidence. Message Mistranslated, The examination of the accused was coufined to M. Caillaux’s activi- ties in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina in December and January 1914-15. The defense argued that there had been a miktranslation af the phrase, “capture undesirable” referring to M. Caillaux in the telegram sent by Count von Luxburg to the Berlin government by way of Washington which has been construed to mean that Germany did not'desire to in- terfere with the former moveménts. torneys for the accused that message was inistranslated in ed States and th: it 1y “Capture very desirable.” GIVE DAMAGING TESTIMONY Wife of Murderer On Trial this Unit- read: in New Haven Tells of His Coming Home All Covered With Blood Stains. 9 " New Haven, Feb. 20.~Aunie Cris- cuola, wife of the man joint!y charged with Antonio, Valentino in the murder of Salvatore Zollo, in Derby. lust O tober. testified today thut Valentino came to her home on the nt of the murder with his hunds and trous- ers smeared .with blood.

APPEAL IS SUSTAINED Public Spark Plug been of by Utilities Commission Rates of Ansonia Rules ! Against New ‘Water Company. Ansonia, Feb. 20.—-The public utilities commission in findings re- ceived here this morning, sustains the appeal of the city from the new rates put into effect by the Ansonia Water Co.

McMahon Issues Challenge, Incidentally, P. S. McMahon, who is the new chairman of the associa- tion, has hurled a challenge at any- one who is not in favor of the 21 mill rate to prove that the tax has not properiy carried the expenses of the city Quring the past year, and he will debate the issue in any public audi- torium in the city. As proof of this assertion, the chairman has inter- viewed Comptroller Hanford L. Cur- tis and has been informed, he says, that every department in the city gov- -ernment has enoush mones to carry them through the year with the ex- overdraft with which that department started its year's work has been re- duced greatly, he says. Explains With Figures. To explain his contention that the 21 mill rate was adequate and that the 2.1 mill tax later levied was to cover expenses which could not be foreseen last year, Mr. McMahon has} offered the following figures to show whera the moncys received through that channe] will be spent: School teachers’ raises, $49,000;, Old Home Week. $15,000; city garage, $15,000; fire-house, $4,000 to $6,000; discount and interest, $34.000. The teachers’ increases have the approval of the association, but the other items have not. - During the past year the teach- { ing staffs have changed one-third, he -claims. Public Meeting Planned. A big public meeting!will be held sometime next week at which time the tax situation wil be gone over thoroughly. The city meeting will be held Friday evening in the Grammar schoo] auditorium and the matter of lower tax-rates will be argued. As the tax-rate to be voted on Friday is advertised as 27.9 when it actually amounts to 30 mills, Mr. McMahon | says the association's rate can be an- nounced 22.9 mills exclusive of the 2.1 special tax. It is the association’s plan to agitate during the week for the 25 mill rate. and explain the pur- poses of the Taxpayers’ association. Is After School Board. Discussing the need for frugality, the chairman attacked several of the city boards, the public works and schoel commissions in particular. No results had been achieved from the vast amounts of money allotted to the public works board, and the personnel of the school board must be changed if the city i 10 receive an administra- tion in that branch of the government that the people will be satisfied with, he said, Mr. McMahon denies the asscrtion that a cut in department estimates will eripple the operation of any ity commission, as Chairman Frederick S. Chamberlain of the finance and taxa- tion board claims. The taxpayers have not gone into the matter in a haphazard manner and are therefore in a position to speak for lower esti- mates with a sound backing. he claims, with the approval of business- men upon whose credit ‘“you couid borrow a million dollars any day.” May Cut Salary Boosis. 1t was intimated that the salary in- creases adopted by the common coun- ! ci1 are not entirely out of the danger zone of the association’s axe. The as- sociation’s attorney, Lawver M. A Sexton, has quoted the city charte which allows 60 days from the time of adoption for 30 taxpayers and four councilmen to call a city meeting for the purpose of slashing that branch of the city expe The assoclation compliments itself upon the fact that there is but $35,049 in back taxes unpaid, During th year it was estimated that $76,000 could be raised through that channel and the amount collected was $85,293. It was through our agitation alone,” Mc- Mahon says.

Washington, Feb. miral 20.—Rear Ad- Robert Edwin Peary, retired, Arctic explorer and discoverer of the North Pole, died“dt his home here to- day from pernicious anemia, from which he had suffered for several years. Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed, but he will be buried with full naval honors. Admiral Peary submitted to a blood transfusion at a hospital here ten days ago. He later was removed to his home and his condition then was reported as somewhat improved. He gradually grew weaker, however, and the end came early this morn- ing. Dr. H. F. Strine, the admiral's physician, disclosed that the trans- fusion this month was the 35th to which Admiral Peary had submitted within two vears. Was 64 Years of Age. Admiral Peary was 64 years old and entered the navy as a civil en- gineer on October 26, 1881. He was assistant engineer, Nicaragua ship canal under government orders 1884- 85. Returning to the United States he. became interested in Arctie ex- plorations and 34 vears ago he made his first trip to the north making a reconnaissance of the Greenland in- land ice cape east of Discobay. Two years thereafter he wag ene sineer in charge of the Nicaragua canal surveys and invented rolling lock gates for the canal but the lure of the Arctic was on him and he again turned northward. In June, 1891 he led his first big Polar ex- pedition in search of the Arctic expe- dition of the Academy of National Science, Philadelphia. In 1913 he was promoted to the rank of rear miral in the navy and given the thanks of congress by a special act. Turning his attention to aviation Ad- miral Peary became a strong advocate of aircraft development by the gov- ernment. Reaches North Pole. It was on the afternoon of Septem- ber 6, 1909 that the following few Vbo:di reported to the civilized world for the first time this crowning achievement of three centuries of ef- fort: ! A “Indisn Harbor, via Cape Ray N. F., Sept. 6.—To the Associated Press, New York: “Stars and Stripes Nailed to North Pole. “PEARY.” Peary’s actual attajnment of the Pole had been just five months before, on April 6, 1909. When this despatch came, the world was, quite unknown to Peary, already praising Dr. Frederick A. Cook “as the discoverer. Only four days previous to the Peary announce. ment, Cook, who was on his way back to Copenhagen on board a Danish steamer, had telegraphed the claim that he reached the Pole on April 21, 1908—nearly a year ahead of Peary, Question Covk's Claim. While Dr. Cook’s claim did not go unguestioned from the first. he had for four days ot least been widely ac- claimed as the discoverer of the Pole. With Peary’s message there one of the greatest controversies of all ages over the honor of actual first | discovery. There can be no one who has forgotten the dispute. Peary’s assertions were not seriously aques- tioned, but among newspaper readers there came to be two great camps, for and against Cook. Peary with his record of seven successful trips to the Arctic, his official standing in the United States navy and in scientific circles, easily held the commanding position in the controversy. But it was only after the scientific bodies one by one had sifted the evidence and pronounced Cook’s claims unfounded that Peary's title as discoverer of the Pole was really won. Peary Paid Dearly. The bitterness of this episode only one item in the price Peary paid for the immortal that is now is acknowledged to be his. He spent practically all he had in money, gave all that was in him for hard work and suffered all that the human frame could endure from hun- ger. cold and disappointment. He made eight journeys into the Arctic, spent upwards of half a million dol- lars and several times he barely es- caped the death which in various forms had been the fate of more than 700 explorers before him.

No pas ger train had left Winsted on line up till noon today. There was no locomotive available. Three pas- senger trains were stalled all night at three different stations. passengers remained in the while others went to hotels. The largest snowplow on the road operated here is a wreck: and one locomotive is damaged. The train due from the west at 4:48 p. m. yesterday was in a snow drift seven miles east of Pine Plains, N. Y., today. due here at four hours at Ore Hill, and crawled back to Millerton, N. Y., where some passenzers put up at Thotels. The westbound train which left here at 6:40 last night, was held until 10:25 at Summit, Norfolk, and reached Canaan at 3 a. m., where it Temained this forenoon. Two loco- motives which left Canaan at 3 a. m. for this place were snowbound at Norfolk at 5:40 and they remain there. Drifts five feet deep are re- ported from Norfolk and Canaan, and from elght fo 12 feet in epth west of there. On the Springfield branch between Tariffville and Springfield a train was stalled in the woods all night. The falling temperature has coated the rails with ice and no relief from con- ditions was expected today.
