TO ADVANGE 500 ~ MILLION TO RAILWAYS In Long Run, Government PUNCHED POLICEMAN KENNEY FINED $200 Lawrence Gofley, Also in Sunday Night Brawl, Assessed $100 COURT IMi’OSES HEAVY FINES Gunning and Tanguay Pay for Al- leged Interference With Policemen —Work of Patrolman Doherty Is Will Profit By Charg- ing Greater Interest. July 7.—Treasury ‘Washington, 1 announced today Secretary Mellon rangement made with the railroad executives the carriers would receive !ang approximately $500,000,000 in adds- tion to advances from the federal gov- ernment within the next six months. Mr. Mellon said the negotiations with the raflroad executives prob- ably would be completed within two days and that the advances contem- plated would give to the railroads in cash sums of money equivalent to those which the government spent in capital betterments during the period of war-time control. The government will receive for the advances six per cent. security evidencing the indebt- edness of the particular roads which receive the advances, it was ex- plained. In the long run, he added, the gov- ernment would obtain a net profit from the advances since the money necessary could be borrowed at a lower interest rate than the securities which the railroads return to the gov- ernment would bear. Railroad secur- ities now held by the treasury, he said, amounted to approximately $400,000,000 dollars and interest and capital payments had been regularly | } day evening at the corner of Hartford that under a provisional refunding ar- ; Lauded by Court. Joseph Kenney was fined $200, Law- rence Coffey $100, Oscar Tanguay $2. and Patrick Gunning $15, when a small-sized riot which occurred Sun- avenue and North street, in which the four young men were the principals in which Policemen William Doherty and Anthony Walenczius re- ceived beatings which have caused them to remain off duty since, had its court sequel before Judge G. W. Klett this morning. The two injured men, together with Policemen William J. McCarthy and Frank Zandzian, hap- pened i on some troubla shortly after they had gone on duty Sunday evening. Joseph Kenney was placed under ar- rest and, according to the policemen’s story. resisted, drawing the attentions of the other men. Their activities caused them to be arrested. “Disgraceful Affair.” In asking that an example be made of the men before the court, Prosecut- ing Attorney Albert A. Greenberg characterized the entire affair as a disgrace and a stain upon the city. He lauded Policeman Doherty for his work in making the arrest and point- ed out to the court that Doherty, al- though one of the youngest, and in s -t re one of the smallest men on the force, has a record as good as the best.

Flight in Airplane Brings Back Speech Indian Head, Sask., July 7.—A case parallel to that of the American soldier who regained his speech during an air- plane flight has been brought to light here. Over a year ago Wilfred Verner, a young farmer was kicked in the head by a horse and he had been unable to speak until the other day at a picnic he topk an airship ride. As a result of his people, is dead and the Roxbury it where he rose' from brick- layer to state senator mourned his passing today. Death came yester- Cay at his place in Sharon where he had gone to make his fight against tuberculosis. The ward boss, en- dearing himself to his constituents by charities that were countless, had stayed close to them in their tene- ment district notwithstanding his own greatly improved fortunes until illness forced him to seek better air. When Vice-President Calvin Coo- lidge, then governor, learned last December that the “boss of ward 18" had been stricken, he sent a greet- ing o his bedside 'by a member of his staff. Theirs was a friendship developed by joint service in the state sepate which, although they repre- sented opnosing pajties, drew from “Diamond Jim” entire support for his friend “Cal” in two gubernator- ial campaigns. Timilty was known alike for his political. power, his display of dia- monds which gained him his name, and for his benefactions. GEN. DUPONT NOW SENATOR. Dover, Del., July 7.—Gen. T.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SPEAKER URGES CHURCH TO WAR AGAINST PRIZE FIGHTS SOLD BOOZE OPENLY Western Inn Keeper Kept Stock In Open, Paid Tax on Receipts and Finally Paid $500 Fine. San Francisco, July 7.—John Hi- garu, keeper of a road house between Vallejo and Benicia, had no secrets about his “bootlegging” his testimony showed in federal Bourt yesterday. He said he had sold liquor quite openly since prohibition came into effect, refused to hide his stock of contra- band July 4, although warned that enforcement officials were going to raid his place that day, and then testi- fled that he had reported his liquor selling profits to the internal revenua department in paying his incorhe tax. Wilford Tully, assistant U. 8. dis- trict attorney, suggested to the court only nominal punishment and the Judge assessed a fine of $500. Earl of Bandon Still Being Held As Hostage Belfast, July 7.—Although mem- bers of the police and military are still scouring the country for the Earl of Bandon, who was kidnapped at Bantry, County Cork, on June 21, no trace has been found of him.

July 7.—The American > n 8 h sailed - e is changed daily and the Breakdown of Character in Columns of Daily Press Also Shocks Religious Educators. New York, July 7.—The value of Bible reading was emphasized by speakers at today’s sessions of the world's Christian Endeavor conven- tion. Rev. Dr. A. B. Kendall of Wash- ington, D. C., said that the sacred- ness and perpetuity of the home were being assailed from many sides and urged that it be safeguarded with the Bible. The greatest need of the day he said, was trained teachers of the Bible. “We are shocked, horrified, after day,” he continued, “at the terrible breakdown of character in the columns of the daily press—men and womea falling under the stress of the temptations of modern times like pins before the ball of the skilled bowler.” Rev. Dr. Amos R. Wells of Bos- ton deplored certain tendencies in literature saying: “No literary style is beautiful that panders to lust or fosters crime or argues infidelity or teaches treason.” He said the Bible was the ‘‘crown of all book: Urging that the church put forth a united front against prize fights, the Rev. Mr. A. E. Cory said: “It is foolish to talk of arresting Dempsey. I fell you we all ought to be arrested if such things = con- day tinue. Prize fighting is no different to- day than it was when Corbett and Sulllvan were chased from state to his action in breaking up the Kenney- Frawley fracas. Policeman Doherty was struck in the jaw and kicked in the stomach, being the moreé seriously injured of the two policemen. Po- liceman Walenczius' eye was still badly discolored when he appeared in court this morning. Policeman McCarthy was struck in the jaw but had no marks on his face. Doherty Spied Trouble Policeman Doherty testified that he and his three brother patrolmen reached the corner of Hartford avenue and North street Sunday eve- ning at 7:30 o'clock just in time to see Frawley knocked tg ‘the ground by Kenney. He remarked that a fight was on and hurried eway from the other policeman. Walking up to Ken- ney he placed his hand on the young man’s shoulder. Kenney turned shortly, he said, and struck the police- man twice on the jaw. Doherty then cautioned that he woyld make use of his club if he found it necessary. When Kenney again struck him he brought down the club inflicting a cut upon his alleged assailant’s head. Policeman Walenczius by that time hd arrived across the street and took hold of Kenney from the back. The man under arrest then raised his foot and kicked Policeman Doherty. While he was being taken across the street Kenney kicked the same policeman three times more in the stomach, the patrolman testified. At the box, Pa- trolman Doherty rang for the patrol Just as he turned he saw Patrolman Walenczius struck in the eye by Ken- ney. Walenczius then brought this club down on Kenney's head and he fell to the sidewalk. He made an effort to arise but was held down. Policeman Doherty also saw Coffey strike Police- man McCarthy, he testified. Under Physician’s Care Patrolman Doherty has been under the care of Dr. Frank Zwick since last Sunday suffering from injuries to the stomach and has been unable to re- turn to duty, he told the prosecutor in reply to questions as to his condition. Patrolman Walencaius was the next State’s witness. He followed his brother policeman across the street and upon his arrival found the two men exchanging blows. Who struck first he was unable to say. After he grabbed the prisoner around the waist he saw him kick Policeman Doherty. As they were standing beside the police box Kenney suddenly turned around and struck the witness in the eye who then used the night stick, bringing Kenney to the ground. At this point according to the po- liceman, Oscar Tanguay came over and demanded that the prisoner be released, threatening the life ‘of the policeman. Policeman WalencZius has been un- ble to return to duty since Sunday. His left eyes is still partly cloed as a result of the blow struck by Kenney. Coffey Mixes In. Coffey’s part in the affair was brought out by Policeman McCarthy. The patrolman was the third man to cross the street. When he realized that the other blue-coats were in neea of assistance he headed toward the center of the fray but was stopped by Coffey who made a swing at him, he said. Coffey was placed under arrest and handed over to Patrolman Zand- zian and Policeman McCarthy made another attempt to get into the middle of the fight to aid Policeman Doherty. Coffey got away from the fourth po- liceman and shot a volley of blows at the witness, but finally ran away. Gunning then came along and, tak- ing hold of Kenney, made an effort to force his release. He was taken into custody on an interference charge. Policeman Zandzian saw Kenney and Doherty fighting, he told the court, but couldn’t say who struck first. He had Coffey in tow for a few minutes but when he reached for his handcuffs the prisoner made good his escape. Kenney a “Fine Boy.” James Frawley whose assault by Kenney, precipitated the entire trou- ble, said he came out of his house in time to hear Kenney asking where { nueg of Third Page. Whack !'! Thus sounded the palm of Mrs. Mary Voisard against the face of Constdble Phillip Marino of Plainville as she struck him while he was standing in front of,the Neri Brothers store at Central Square ‘in that town last night. Mrs. Voisard is a small woman—in fact had to itach up to strike the official of the law. The Constable was mentally stunned for a moment by the sudden attack and before he could gather his scattered thoughts, the woman leaned upon him, grabbed his hat and it is alleged tried to kick him in the stomach. Much to the surprise of the by-standers, the constable took to his heels an dretreated a safe distance.

Mrs. Voisard then went into a fit of hysterics and shouted: “I've never been able to get you, but I got you now.” She was quieted and taken to her home at the rear of Bank street by Selectman Edward P. Prior. Doctors L. H. Frost and J. C. Moody were called to attend her and found her to be in a highly nervous state of mind.

Already a number of the younger, Irishmen have announced that they are in readiness. to return to the land of their birth if satisfactory agreements are reached and it is expected that their example will be followed by scores of others. In conjunction with a settlement of the international difficulties living conditions will be greatly improved since the harbors will be enlarged and the mines opened, it is pointed out. This will afford enough employ- ment for all the men in the land. Under the terms of De ‘Valera's peace proposals industrial and eco- nomic conditions will be made suffi- ciently attractive to increase the pop- ulation from its present four millions to more than 11 millions, students of the Irish question say. OLD CAMPAIGN CLUB. Twenty-five years ago today, plans were being made for formulating a Campaign club, by many prominent men of the city. George M.

Aside from this statement there was virtually nothing today to indicate what progress toward reaching a resolution of the Irish question, had been made. There was however of- ficial reaffirmation of the statement that the outlook was hopeful and that nothing had occurred which seriously jeopardized the prospects of a settle- ment. o In an authentic quarter it was de- clared today that recent utternces and acts of the Sinn Fein leaders were considered to indicate a recession from their demand for an independent Ireland and to imply a willingness to accept, as a talking basis, a “united Ireland,” its legislative and governing machinery to incorporate under a dif- ferent name the Ulster parliament which would have the approximate status of a provincial assembly A similar body, under such an ar- rangement would be created in the south, with some form of all Ireland 1ssembly consisting of upper and low- 2rhouses, which would serve as a co- »rdinating ‘body.

The family of a deceased service- man received $100 from the govern- ment to defray the expenses of the funeral but this amount is taken up by the undertaker’s bill in many in- stances. Additional costs such as flowers and the hiring of military equipment would be paid for by the city under the proposed resolution. The money would be taken from the incidental fund under the Legion's plan. Ambassador Herrick Edward French, With $27, 000 Invested In West ~ Main St. Route, Plans Appeal Representative Arthur N. Rutherford to Champion Jitneys if Connecticut Co. Cannot Give Satisfactory Transportation. The action of the public utilitied commission in ruling off all jitneys on local lines, except the Stanley-Chap= man street route and the Arch Street Shuttle Meadow route, effective July 15, has caused a furore in the city second to none in which the public has been directly interested in a long time. That the decision may be resisted, at least in the case of the West Main street ruling, is a pertinent possibil- ity and unless the trolley company at once proceeds to give a service as convenient, speedy, dependable and frequent as the jitneys have béen do- ing court action is most likely to fole low. Wants Good Service. Representative A. N. Rutherford has expressed himself strongly in fav- or of any action whatsoever that will provide adequate transportation serv- ice for the public. Mayor Orson F. Curtis expressed regret at the ruling, holding to the opinion that the publis is being compelled to undergo a hardship because, he thinks, the jit« neéys ase almost a necessity. Ex-Mayor George A. Quigley blamed the trole ley company entirely for all the trou= ble, because of the poor service given in the past. " Appeal to Be Taken. Attorney Albert A. Greenbers, counsel for Edward = French, who operates the West Main street route, this afternoon had a conference with his client and made the assertion that. an appeal will be taken from the de- cision of the utilities commission. “Mr. French has $27,000 tied up in his jitney business and this will be a total loss, under the ruling,” Lawyer Greenberg said, “and most certainly an appeai will be taken.” Representative Arthur N. Ruther- ford who, at the time the public util- ities commission gave hearings to jit- ney men in this city, appeared as a staunch advocate of “better service for the public—by the jitneys if ob- | tainable no other way,” today gave |out 2 statement expressing his views on the matter in no uncertain terms. Representative Rutherford declared that the intent of the law, and it is expressed definitely, provides that where public neeessity demands serv- ice it is up to the. public utilities commission to provide that needed service. Up to the present time, the trolley company has shown no indi- cation that it will give the. excellent service that has been reridered by the jitneys, and unless it does, and at once, action sheculd be started to obtain this service by the jitmeys. In commenting on the matter, Rep- resentative Rutherford made ‘it very plain that he was not out “gunning™ for the Connecticut company or act- ing as a champion of any individual jitneur. Al he is after, he main- tains, is the best of servicé for the public and if the trolley company cannot or will not give it, then let the jitneys do it. Unless the public utilities com=- mission notifies the Connecticut com- pany to give service as good as the ‘jitneys and trolleys at present give, and possibly at a reduced rate, then it is time to take legal action and steps toward an injunction restrain- ing the utilities commission’s order from becoming effective may be asked and a test case instituted. Following is the public utility commission's ruling ‘n refusing to permit Edward French to maintain his fleet of five auto busses on West Main street: “In this case the applicant made four separate applications for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to operate a number of jitneys over four separate routes in the City of Ne Britain, as per ap- plications on file, combined and numbered 38, will fully appear. “After public hearings had, the commission is of opinion and finds that existing transportation facilities are adequate to take care of the present demand for transportation over the route specified, and con- sidering all the facts in this case, and followng the principles laid down in the Manchester case of Perrett & Glenney, we are of opinion and find that public convenience and neces- sity do not require the operation of (Continued on Eleventh Page.)
