There s ' every indication that the whole vast military machinery of Russia will soon be set in motion. An imperial manifesto is awalted nig. L Should Emperor Nicholas ~ become gencralissimo of the forces, as is un- derstood, an immense wave of enthu- slasm will sweep over Russfa. The political parties have sunk their differences. The general attitude is -not “jingeistic,” bui onme of resolute confdence in the justice of the coun- try's cause and readiness to make all sacrifices. Puts Responsibility on Austria. The proposal, attributed to Austria, to diseuss terms when Belgrade has . been occupied, is regarded-as impos= sible. It is pointed out that before the opening of hostilities Russia proposed to Austria a direct éxchange of views, : which Austria rejected.

Hartf July 39 —Seerstary of smf':}m Phillips teday rem- dered a finding in the se-cailed Carl- son-Phillips automobile case. On June 17 at Green Farms a car driven by Philip Carlson of Bridgeport and one occupied by the state secretary, a lady friend' and his chauffeur, Joseph Te- desco, figured in a colliston. Following the accident, the secretary took Carlson’s license, but later that same night gave it back to him. A hearing on the case was twice assign- ed, and each time was continued om request of Jacob B. Klein of Bridge- port, counsel for Carison. ‘When the hearing was called At- torney Klein immediately asked for a plea of abatement, which was over- ruled by the secretary. Then Attorney Klein questioned the right of the state secretary to sit in a case in which he ‘was personally interested. Here the secretary and attorney en- gaged in bitter tilts and which de- veloped the most famous auto case ever heard before the state secretary. ‘The finding of the secretary is a lengthy one in which he quotes the | testimony and all the witnesses and at the conclusion he does not order a suspension of Carlson’s license. Summary of Testimony. ‘The y reviews in detail the testimony of a number of witnessas. He summarizes this testimony as: “It will be Seen from.the testimony |, ed witnesses who saw the cars at the time of the collision that the car belonging to the secreiary was on the right hand side of the road, and eyewitnesses who did not see the cars at the point of contact that the secretary’s car was proceeding on the right hand side. “The testimony clearly shows that the secretary’s car occupied the right hand side, and there having been a Oollision the only conclusion that can drawn is that the Carlson car was not on the right hand side. “It may be that Mr. Carison was blinded by the lights, even though the car belonging to the secretary was on the right side of the highway. At no time bave I issued a statement stating that Mr, Carison was to blame. “After a conference with the attor- ney general today, he informed me that he was not in a position to de- | termine a question of fact, but by rea- son of his position was legal advisor to the various departments of the state government, and could only de- cide a question of law, 5o that this finding, in view of these circumstances, represents my personal judgment. “In view of these circumstances, I am giving Mr., Carison the benefit of the doubt, and I do not order a sus- Pension of his operator’s license.” EVILS OF SEGREGATION, Mayor Harrison of Chicagoe Changes His Vice Ideas. Chicago, July 20.—“Segregation means protected vice and corruption of officials,” Mayor Carter H. Harrison was. reported today as declaring at his fishing camp in Michigan_ “I have reached the conciusion,” he said, “that my ideas of the vice ques- tion have been wrong. I have no hes- itation now in arm of the government. Commercialized vice is a crime, and the only remedy is repression. The politeman who takes graft from pro- tected vice will soon be taking it from pickpockets and burglars, “Chicago is through with the segre- gated vice idea. We can never entire- ly eliminate prostitution in any large city. But we can drive it under cover and we can make it unprofitable for those who would capitalize the weak- nesses of others. ~Segregation is a farce. The city cannot go into part- nership with such a business.” —_— CONNECTICUT'S WEALTH, State Grand List Shows $206,421933 Gain in Four Years, Hartford, Conn, July 26.—Some idea of the { le possessions of the cit- izens of Conmmecticut and the wealth in the state is givem in the pamphlet issued by State Tax Commis- sioner W, Corbin relating to the assessment and cellection of taxes, The grand list for 1913 was $1,172, 051,740, an increase of $206,421,983 in four years.
