Britton of Illinois Plans to Introduce This Measure at Special Ses- sion of Congress Would Define Beer as 4 Per Cent. and Wines as 14 Per Cent., Both by Volume. Chicago, Nov. 9,—The soldiers' bonus bill with an amendment plan to pay the bonus by a tax on lght wines and beer will be introduced in congress by Congressman Fred A, Britten of Iilinois, he announced here today. Representative Britten declared that the addition providing for a beer and wine tax would be drafted so as to make it supersede the definition of intoxicating liquor carried on the Vol- stead enforcement act. “My addition to the bonus bill will provide a tax of $10 a barrel on beer; $2 a gallon on domestic wines; $4 a gallon on imported still wines and $§ a gallon on imported champagne,” he said . Alcoholic Content “The heer so provided would be limited to an alcoholic content of 4 per cent and the wines to 14 per cent., both by volume. “This tax, I am certain, will pay the bonus and all expenses incident to its payment. And in the course of a few years the tax can be lowered as the bonus liability is reduced.” Representative Britten said his bil would be introduced at the special session of congress if President Har, ding issued a call for one. Suggested Changes Likely Washington, Nov. 9.—Proposals for . legisldtion modifying the Volstead act with respect to the sale of beer and liget wines were regarded today at the treasury as extremely likely as a _result of the outcome of Tuesday's election.

TURKS ARGUE AGAINST PEACE PARLEY DELAYS Reports From Constantino- ple Meagre—Italy Stands With Allies Paris, Nov. 9, (By Associated Press). Jsmet Pasha, foreign minister in the Turkish nationalist government, has informed the allied governments that any delay in holding the Lausanne peace conference would be a disaster and it ‘would be interpreted by the Angora assembly and the Kemalist army as a sign of hostility against the Turks and an indication that the al- lies did nét intend to live up to the conditions of the Mudania armistice. The French government is exerting every Influence to have the Lausanne conference formally opned on sched- uled time, November 13, in order to demonstrate to the Turks the good intentions of the allles. The British asked for a postponement because of their approaching elections, but the French have now proposed to the British that in’ view.of the message from Jsmet Pasha, all parties go ahead and assemble next week at Lausanne. The British reply to this proposal has not yet been received. London, Nov. 9, (By Assoclated Press).—The situation in Constanti. nople is described as somewhat easier in a message received today by the war office. Both the eager British public and the government were much in the dark today regarding the grave sit- uation in Constantinople the lack of information being the result of the “ cutting of the cable near Chanak by the Turks, who are refusing to allow the cable company to repair its line, The latest news obtained hy the British foreign office was received last night saying cable communication had been interrupted. The message con- tained no mention over what route it had been transmitted. The govern- ment officlals therefore were asking the newspaper correspondents for news, ' It was said at the.foreign office that the only thing that could be done now was to await a report as to whether martial law had been de- clared, in Constantinople. Rome, Nov. 9 (By Associated Press) ~Premien Mussolini has telegraphed to the Ttalian high commissioner in Constantinople stating he favored a united front by the Allles regarding Turkey. The premier announced the sending of this message at yesterday's cabinet meting. Turkey had beaten Greece but could not claim to have defeated the enténte, the premier said.

New York, Nov. 9 (By Associated Press).—Continued republican con- trol of congress, but with a senate majority cut in. two, and a house majority of 160 slashed to a scant handful, appeared today as the net result of last Tuesday's congressional election with results almost = com- plete. Tight races in the fewr un- decldad | distriets . not . affecting the general result, and delays in count- ing, however, threatened to postpone the final figure until tomorrow. G. O. P. Controls House, The general picture of Tuesday's storm of ballots was virtually fin- ished early this morning when be- lated Montana returns sent the re- publicans over the top in the house contest. Election of R. Scott Leavitt, republican, in Montana gave the re- publicans the 218 votes necessary to control the next house but even these republican tidings were coupled with news of defeat of Representative Me- Cermick, republican, Montana, by his opponent, James M. Evans. With several congressional . dis- tricts in four states, Kansas, North Dakota, Washington and West Vir- ginla, still unreported at 7 o'clock today the roll In the next house stood: Republicans democrats 205, soclalists 1, farmer labor 1, independ- ent 1. The republican margin prom- ised to be increased slightly in the remaining contests. In the returns to date 76 places now held by repub- licans had been captured without a single counterbalancing democratic loss. Belated returns.did not add to the 50 per cent. cut in the senate repub- lican majority sustained in the earlier tallles. They brought word, how- ever, of the definite re-election of Senator King, democrat, of Utah, over Ernest Bamberger, republican, of Senator Jones, democrat, of New Mexico, and of ancther democratic victory in Montana where Burton K. Wheeler was elected over Carl Rid- dick, republican, to succeed Senator Myers, democrat. Only two sena- torial contests remained greatly in doubt, those in Washington where former Representative Dfil, demo- cratie, was leading Senator Poindex- ter, republican, and in North Dakota where the democratic candidate, J. F. O'Connor, was leading former Governor Lynn J. Frazer, repub- lican, 290 G. 0. P. Veteran Ousted. Late returns also brought news of the defeat of another republican vet- eran of the house, Representative Halver Steenerson of Minnesota, chairman of the post office commit- tee by a farmer- laborite, Knud Wefald, This gave the farmer labor party representation in both branches of congress for the first time, Dr. Hen- rik Shipstead, farmer laborite, having defeated Senator Kellogg in Minne- sota. Uontests Lodge's Election. In the few remaining contests the fight was so close that talk of con- tests recounts and officlal counts was rife. Most notable perhaps was a statement from Col. Willlam G. Gas- ton that he would demand a recount in his race against S8enator Lodge of Massachusetts, republican leader, de- spite the latter's increased lead through correction of a tally error from 1,945 to 8,425. Overturn in Michigan Detroit, Nov. 9.—The democratic successes in Michigan in Tuesday elec- tion apeared even more pronounced today when belated returns showed that in addition to electing a senate, a4 member of the house of representa- tives and five members of the legisla- Constantinople and he gave instrue- tions that in case of necessity other vessels should be held in readiness to protect Itallan nationals | ture, the party had gained grouni in numerous counties of the state.

Would Have Made Peace Springfield, Mass., Nov. 9.—Henry Morgenthau, former ambassador to Turkey, declared in an address here today that acceptance by the United States of. the Turkish mandate would have prevented the Near Eastern cri- sis and would have resulted in such progress by all the countries bordering on the Mediterranean that it would have a corresponding influence on sur- rounding countries. He said that the Turkish victory over the Greeks was due more to weakness and folly of the Greeks than to Turkish fighting abil- ity. o] Mayor’s Appeal for Forget-Me-Not Day Nov, 9, 1922 To the Citizens of the City of New Britain: On November 11, 1822, the newly organized New ' Britain post of the Wounded War Vet- erans, will hold a tag day for the purpose of raising funds to be used in connection with a well organized plan to provide recreation for disabled veterans of the World War. The money ralsed in New Britain will be used almost ex- clusively for the entertainment and recreation of New Britain men, and as Mayor of the City of New Britain, it gives, me great pleasure in sanctioning and endorsing the movement. ‘We must not forget that these wounded n, in their fight for the freedonf of the world, gave of their time and strength and that their disabliity was incur- red in the seérvice of humanity, It is only fair to expect the citi- zens of New Britain to give lib- erally to any movement which contemplates providing happi- ness and geod cheer to those who have suffered for us.

Rome, Nov. 9.—(By the Associated Press)—Pope Pius has decided to postpone the appointment of new American cardinals to a consistory to be held next year, it was learned to- day. The report that both Archbishop Mundelein of Chicago and Archbishop Hayes of New York would at' that time recelve the red hat, however was confirmed in an authoritative quarter, Meanwhile notice has been sent to Monsignor Giovanni Bonzano, aposto- lic delegate at Washington, with re- gard to his being raised to the purple in the consistory to be held December 11, It is expected this notice will reach Monsignor Bonzano next week and that he will shortly afterward leave for Rome. to Arch- DREAM SAVES LIVES Aroused Husband in Flames—60 Dreamed of Fire, and Found Place Tenants Warned in Time, New York, Nov. 9.-—A woman's dream is credited with saving the lives ‘of 80 dwellers in a tenement in the Bronx early today.

Somerville, N. J, Nov. 9, -— Final plans for presentation to the Sonferset county grand jury of evidence in the Hall-Mills murder case were worked cut today at a conference here of spe- clal deputy Attorney Gen. Mott and hig assistants, with Supreme Court \Justice Parker and Albert Gibb, grand Jury foreman. After the conference Mr. Mott an- nounced that the grand jury would not hear the case this week. He inti- mated that he probably would start laying evidence against the “woman in gray"” and two men before the jury meets but declined to say definitely. | ‘Would Like to See Trolley Company Prosecuted for Overcrowding—Mrs. Mu- ter Fined. Imposing fines of $15 and costs each upon Clyde Rowley and Domonle Soccoly for driving overcrowded pub- lic service cars, and $15 without costs upon Mrs. Helen Muter for allowing overcrowding on busses under her control, Judge F. B. Hungerford re- marked in police court this morning that he would like very much to see the trolley company prosecuted under the same or a similar statute, Through Lawyer J. P. Conroy of Hartford, the accused entered pleas of guilty. Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods recommended the fines as adopted by Judge Hungerford. The three arrests were made last Tuesday on Park street by ‘Motoreyele Policeman W, 8. Strolls. In one of the busses in which Mrs. Muter was riding there were 15 passengers more than her franchise allows her to carry at one time. The other bus was also overcrowded, the agcussed admitted. Lawyer Conroy remarked that Mrs. Muter is convinced that she is being persecuted while conditions are equal- ly as bad on other lines as on hers. ‘Whether this is true or not the busses were overcrowded and there was a violation of the law, hence his plea of guilty, he egplained. He felt that the statute was framed to prevent con- tinuous overcrowding, but that in the case of Mrs. Muter it was only at noon hour when, had she tried to do so0, she could not have kept the peo- ple off the car, he claimed. Prosecutor Woods pointed out past violation of law on the part of Muter drivers. Failure to arrest causes the police department embarrassment since laxity might be charged against the policemen, he said. There is a statute on the books and it has been violated, he said, hence his recom- mendation for fines, In the case of Gottlieb Sahaliak, charged with assaulting Marion Pa- velecz, allas Marion Ross, Judge G. W. Klett discharged the accused and placed the complainant on.probation for six months. Through Lawyer Irv- ing I. Rachlin, she pleaded guiity to breach of the peace. Sahaliak was arrested Monday af- ternoon on Farmington avenue after the girl, who at that time gave her name as Marion Ross, had complain- ed to the police. She said the man was a stranger to her, that he had come to her on the street, demanded money and then struck her, The accused told Judge Kiett Tues- (Continued on Tweifth Page). 2 Klan, Mayor : Duscussing his decision to remove from office any man whom he has ap- pointed in the event of such commis- sioner’s enrollment in the Ku:Kiux Klan, the mayor sald that he did not feel that any man was capable of holding a position of public trust who would affillate with any organization that realized it was so unwelcome in any city that it had to go'into the outskirts to hold its meetings. Can Remove “For Cause,” There is no provision mhe ter which -prohibits me rship. in secret societies. A recent amendment however, provides that the —mayor may remove any appointee ‘“for cause.” There have been several in- stances of such removal and the only ' information furnished the public was in the form of a formal statement announcing that the dismissal has i been “for cause.” Should the mayor decide that membership in the'K. K. K. renders an official unft for public service, he has the power to remove him, it is pointed out. b The article 'In question, which is printed on page 31 of the city. char- ter, is as lollow!: ¥ v n R, fi“f’ The, mayor i guthorized t6 remove for.oaluge Any.ien ¥ board or commission - ;i:;;g the mayor or any.gther officer, ap« pointed by the mayor, and th mayor shall be the sole judge of stch cause of removal and his order of.removal shall state the reason therefor.”. Impeachment Proceedings. ' '; In the case of elective officers, tI | mayor would find difficulty in un- seating those who joined the order now under the executive's ban.

He insisted that he would call upon the police department to pre- | vent gatherings of the organization if such action was not contrary to the charter of the city and l%ws of the state. : The executive feit that 100 per cent. cooperation would be given him by the members of the common counell although two-thirds of that body’s membership would he eligible to membership should they wish to be- come Klansmen. He felt that the or- der would not have a single spokes- man in the council and that the gov- erning body of the city would be glad to lead off in a drive to eradicate the Klan. Similar cooperation, he expects, will be given him by the city's fraternal bodies. Regardless of whether they are composed in whole or in part of men eligible to membership, he felt the several orders would join with those bodies of men and women against whom he declares a drive s being made, to see that the K. K. K. does not obtain a foothold in New Britain.
