S. Relief Workers—Children to Be Fed. Paris, Sept. 2.—The first kitchen for the feeding of children was es- tablished in Petrograd today by the American relief administration. Wal- ter L. Brown, European director of the administration said in making this announcement that another kitchen would be opened in Moscow in a few days, and that two admin- istration steamers had arrived in Pe- trograd with cargoes of food. Two American relief representatives left Moscow today for the Volga re- gion. Mr. Brown received a telegram this morning saying the soviet govern- ment had turned over excellent offices to the administration in Moscow and had placed a warehouse having a capacity of 10,000 tons at its disposal. Mr. Brown said the first relief kitchen would be established in Sam- ara and other Volga towns in a week or ten days. The American relief administration plans contemplate work in the famine area throughout next winter and #pring with an organization of 100 Americans and many natives, Mr. Erown explained. About 20 men will be stationed in Moscow under Col. Wm. N. Haskell but the great major- ity of the work will be done in the Volga region. The first American re- lief train left Riga today according to Mr. Brown who estimated that within ten days there will be 8,000 tons of relief food in Russia. All American relief organizations will administer their relief under, the direction of the American relief ad- ministration, said Mr. Brown, and the American Red Cross has instructed its European organization to turn over t the relief administration all sur- plus medical supplies and food in Europe for distribution. This will be done instead of giving the surplus to the national Red Cross, the Amer- ican point of view being that the lat- ter organization has no definite plan for relief work while the American relief administration actually is in Russia. The provisions of the agreement en- tered into by Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, giv- ing the bolsheviki a certain measure of control of the distribution of food supplies and the promise of Dr. Nan- sen to urge a ten million pound loan for relief work in Russia are regarded by Mr. Brown as directly opposed to the policy of the American relief ad- ministration and the latter organiza- tion will work independent of the in- ternational Red Cross or the league of Red Cross socleties. The relief ad- ministration’s attitude towards these organizations probably will ‘be the same as that recently announced in the case of the international relief commission namely that the admin- istration is willing to co-operate only in the famine districts and then must be free from centralized control. The American Young Men's Chris- tian association in Paris has been ordered to turn over 20 American trucks to the relief administration and the Red Cross also is mobilizing motor transports for its use. Mr. Brown said the American relief ad- ministration workers probably would be the only big body working in Rus- sla for the next two months. He be- lieves the reply of the soviet govern- ment to the request of the interna- tional commission for permission to send a committee of inquiry into Rus- sia probably will call for further ne- gotiations aad that it will be at least two months before the allles will be able to act on the committee's find- ings.

Both eyes were badly discolored and swollen; his lips were puffed, the lower lip having four stitches taken to close the wound; un- der his chin another stitch had been taken; his scalp had been cut, his ear bruised and he complains of an injury to his arm. Dr. George Flanagan, who attended the injured civil officer, testified as to the extent of the in- Juries. Mrs. Bachmann, wife of the accused, ‘was the next state's witness. She lives at 368 Launel street, Hartford. She told the court that, while visiting in this city last week she saw the baby; and, realizing that it was in need of doctor’s treatment, came here vester- day to see that treatment was provid- ed. Husband Interferes. ‘When she took the child toward the car, her husband ran out and the con- stable came between them, he stand- ‘ng at her back. She heard a noisc which she claimed was the impact of Bachmann's fist against the jaw of Stark. The latter fell to the gro'ind and the accused followed him, admin- istering a severe beating, the witness said. At this point Lawyer McDonough interrupted to ask how the witnas: could tell whether it was Bachmann's st or Stark’s black-jack that had caused the sound. She said she could tell the difference and that was ail. When she turned around, she saw Bachmann “tumbling’ on the ground. ithen arise and launch an attack on Stark, bringing the latter to the ground. “Can’t Throw Any Bull.” Mrs. Noyes of 519 Arch street, a s ter of Mrs. Bachmann, went with t complainant and her sister to recover the child.

The accused then newed his attack and Stark went down like a “dead one,” she said. The next witness, Anna Saladin, with whom Bachmann and the child iive, knew Constable Stark since ke worked in the Lock shop, she said in 1eply to a question intended 1o bo the form of identification. From Ler third story veranda she saw Stark on the running board of the car as bLack- mann went to get the child (nat was already in the auto. She testified that Stark hit Bachmann twice before the accused attacked the consisble. A nearby storeman took the blackjack trom the constable and turned it over to the police. Accused Testifies. The accused told of seeing the child being carried into the car by his wife. He went after the baby and was met by the constable who, without provocation, sturck him on the head and brought him to his knees, he said. After a second clout, the accused crawled out of striking distance on all fours and then went at his assailant, he testi- fied. Dri VAT mann some vard attended Bach- time later in his office. He found two separate and distinct scalp wounds, one about half an inch long and the other about three times that length. Both wounds were about a quarter of an inch in depth. John Brizzal, the man who took the black-jack from the constable, saw a part of the fracas. He testi- fied that when Bachmann made for the car, Constable Stark stopped him saying: “You sheriff.” can't take this kid: I'm the 1921. -EIGHTEEN PAGES SINN FEINERS A WARNING TO DRIVERS. Chief William J. Rawlings to- day issued orders to the traflic and day patrolmen and this evening the orders will be read to the members of the night force, in regard to the manner in which automobilists must ad- here to the law regarding speeding and reckless driving 1n the future. The recent tragic death of John W. Allen nas caused such widespread senti- ment against reckless driving that Mayor Orson F. Curtis and Chairman P. F. King have glven the matter close attention dur- ing the past few days. It is pointed out that many automo- bilists seem to disregard the law, through carglessness and oversight. Hereafter this will not be tolerated. Drivers moving their vehicles away from curbs will be required to see that everything is safe ahead and behind before proceeding. The speed limit of fifteen miles an hour will be enforced to the letter. Violators of the law will be haled to the court, and good Stff fines and possible jail sen- tences await them.

There was a curious case of mistaken identity in connection with young Johnson. While he was lying unconscious in the hospital, three different families claimed him as a member. One man was so sure the patient was his son that he took Johnson's clothes home with him, only to find his own boy seated by the fireside. > There were several cases of as- sault in the Falls district of the city this morning, men going to work being attacked.
