No Decision Regarding Embargo on Arms.

On the question of raising the em- bargo on srms, the cabinet members expressed various opinions.

CANNOT CHANGE BASIS OF REPRESENTATION. But National Gommittee Can Call Con- vention to Do It ‘Washington, Nov. 11.—Power to change the basis of representation in the republican national committee does not lie with the republican national commitiee, though the committee has authority to call an intermediate con- vention to act upon this question.

(Special to The Bulletin.) * ‘Willimantic, Nov. 11.—The continued sesslon of the Howarth arson trial again filled the courtroom to capacity Tuesday. Howarth showed himself in even better spirits than before dur- ing the trial, smiling openly at certain passages of the testimony and seem- ing to enjoy the proceedings immensely. Caln bore the same impassive mien which has characterized him since the case began. State Officer Hurley Testifies. Practically the entire day was con- sumed by the testimony of State Po- liceman ~ Hurley, whose statements seemed corroborative of those of Mrs. Zola A. Bennett, and were practically identical in so far as the conversations alleged to have been taken by the dictagraph at the Brooklyn jail “were concerned, and by the cross examina- tlon of Mrs. Bennett, the “woman in brown,” who, it is alleged led Howarth into an intimacy which caused him to betray himself. Mrs. Bennett, con- trary to the expectation of many, con- ducted herself well under the ordeal and the severe questioning of Attor- ney Harvey was of little avail in dis- crediting her story or causing her to falter, Photographer Ordered Out. During the afternoon a photograph- er who had set up his tripod in the spectators’ gallery, was ordered from the courtroom, and did not move rap- idly enough for His Honor, who told the sheriff to put him out. The absence of Miss Sheldon, How- arth’s flances, was conspicuous. Assistant Wallace on the Stand. Henry Wallace, assistant deputy jaller of Brooklyn jail, was the first witness called. His testimony was as follows: Mr. Hurley brought Howarth to the jail on the- 8th or 9th of Au- gust. Witness told Howarth he had to take his shoes and would bring him another pair. He gave one shoe, put in evidence, to Mr, Hurley. On -cross examination stated he had the other shoe with him; thought it was in Au- gust. Howarth made no serious ob- Jection to witness’ taking shoes. The other shoe was produced by witness and identifed and put in evidence by the defense. Hurley Details Conversations. State Policeman Hurley was recalled to testify as to what he heard st the alleged interviews at Mrs, Bennett's house between herself and Howarth. His testimony began at the conver- sation of July 23rd in regard to which he had not finished testifying last week and is in substance as follows: H.—There is nothing 1 am afraid of—my word is as good as yours in codrt. 1 like Putnam better than L did when I was here the last time. I must have made $200; that is pret- ty_good for a place like Putnam. Mrs. B—I will let you see a letter 1 have received, You have the bright- est brain I have ever met.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 1l—In the Duma today a motion was made on behalf of the constitutional democratic party that a committee be appointed to draft a bill conferring equal rights on all Russians. The constitutional democratic speakers declared that Rus- sia_could never become a legal state until the Jews enjoyed full rights of citizenship. Jury Saved Russia From Disgrace. Amid angry protests from the mem- bers of -the-right, M. Shingareff de- clared that the peasant jury at Kiev alone saved Russia from shame and disgrace. The Motion Rejected. Viadimir M. Purishkevich, vice pres- | ident of the Union of True Russians, and other opponents of the motion, argued that today less than e&ver should such equal rights be granted, for any concession to the Jews would only provoke mischief because the Jews control the law and the press. The motion was rejected by a vote of 162 to 92. Revision of Beiliss Trial. In the lobbies of the duma the opinion was expressed that a revision of the Beiliss trial would be attempt- ed by the Kiev Police department in obedience to the popular demands that the murder of the boy, Yushinsky, be solved. JEWS DISSATISFIED. That the Question of Murder is Still Undecided. Feel Ritual London, Nov. 11—All the leaders of Jewish communities in London and the other Huropean capitals expressed ex- treme dissatisfaction over the Kiev verdict, because its ambiguity leaves the question of ritual murder still un- decided ang they are anxious as to its effect in encouraging Black Hundred agitators in Russia. Thus far, accordingto the St. Peters- burg despatches, the precautions taken by the authorities have been successful. No disorders are report- ed and a majority of the Russian peo- ple appear to have accepteq the ver- dict quietly. But among the Jewish quarters _grave apprehension exists that the last has not been heard of the case. As an Indication of the spirit prevailing at Kiev, a banquet was given after the verdict was de- clared by the anti-Semite organizations in honor of two of the counsel for the prosecution, at which six hundred per- sons including some very prominent men, were present.
