Brazil is no longer a neutral in the world war, and the German empire bas ther enemy arrayed against it. Having previously revoked its policy of aloofness, so far as it affected the hostilities between the United States and Germany, Brazil has now come definitely into the open and announc- ed that it can no longer be consid- ered neutral in the war between the entente and Germary. Although no announcement has been vouchsafed as to whether the South American _republic will actually enter into hostilities, by its revocation of neutrality, it definitely aligns _itself morally on the side of the United States and the entente. The Canadians—men from all parts of the Dominion—have taken another back at the German lines protecting Lens, the coal conter in the depart- ment of Pas de Calais and have been rewarded with a further encroachment upon_their objective. Striking on a two mile front south of Lens, the Canadians, from Nova Scotia, Central Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia, protected by ef- fective curtain fire, stormed and cap- tured German first line positions be- fore Avion and also the village of Leauvette. = On the remainder of the front in France there have been only bom- bardments between the French and the Germans. In Belgium the Germans are carrying out heavy bombardments of Fr.uch and Belgian positions at numerous points from the sea south- ‘ward. Only minor operations are in pro- gress on the other fronts. In the Russian theatre the fighting is still spirited in Galicia. In the Austro- Italian zone infantry attacks have again ceased for the moment and cnly artillery duels are taking place.

SWEEPING REDUCTIONS IN PRICE OF BITUMINOUS COAL Will Range From One to Five Dollars a Ton to the Publ ‘Washington, June 23 —Sweeping re- ductions in. the price of bituminous coal at all mines east of the Missis- sippi_river, ranging from one to five dollars a ton to the public with a further cut of fifty cents for. the gov- ernment, were agreed upon today at conferences between the operators and government officials. The new prices became effective July 1. Four hundred operators were rep- resented in the final conferences by committees from each field. Earlier in the day they had agreed to place the price-fixing in the hands of the government, ‘through the defense council's coal production committee, Secretary Lane and _Commissioner Fort, of the federal trade commission, thus avoiding the possibility of vio- lating the anti-trust laws. Director Smith of the geological survey - estimated that the reduced prices would mean that the operators would get $180,000,000 less annuall for their output and that the saving. to the government and the coal con- suming public would be even greater. In addition to placing prices upon coal at the mines it was announced that jobbers, brokers, retailers and commission men would be permitted to charge commissions of not more than 25 cents a ton and that no more than one commission should be gharg- ed. In other words, the consumer will get his coal at the mine price plus transportation charges and 25 cents per ton. . The agreement does not affect an- thracite and the coal production com- mittee announced tonight that action on that problem had been postponed until after July 1 by asreement with the operators. The anthracite pro- ducers have indicated willingness to meet the government in the same spirit manifested by the bituminous men, A CASE OF HOMICIDE AT BROOKLINE, MASS.

'OTHER DEATHS FIGURE IN TRIAL OF MRS. GILLIGAN Circumstances Surrounding Death of Mrs. Alice Gowdy Brought Into the Case. Hartford, Conn., June 28.—Circum- stances surrounding the death of Mrs. Alice Gowdy while a_ contract patient at the Archer home in Windsor were built into its case today by the state in the trial of Mrs. Amy E. Archer- Gilligan for the murder of Franklin R. Andrews, an inmate of the home Mrs. Gowdy’s death was one of the five charged up against Mrs. Gilligan by the grand jury Indictment. The state claims it was caused in the same man- ner as Andrews' death and that the testimony shows the inent of the ac- cused. Dr. Smma J. Thompson of Hartford testified to attending Mrs. Gowdy and to signing the certificate which gave the primary cause of the death as cholera morbus. Subsequently she made some study of poisons as a result of which she said she had concluded that the symptoms shown by Mrs. Gowdy might. have resulted from the poison which the state claims was used, but added under cross-examin- ation that there was nothing to ex- clude her previons diagnosis in view of the patient’s age. Mrs. Gowdy was nearly 70. The testimony went in after vigorous objection ty the defense had been overruled by the court. Porter W. Bacon and his wife of Springficld, Mass., told of having vis- ited Mrs. Gowdy on Thanksgivins day. 1914, at which time she complained of severe stomach pains. She died De- cember 4. Mrs. Beacon testified that she heard Xlrs. Gilligan remark when the latter the body in_the casket in Harifid. “Poor dear. She suffer- ed_terribly. The name of Mary Archer. daughter of the accused, was brought into the case today by the defense, during the cross-examination of Frank Smith of the undertaking firm which had pre- pared the body of Andrews and those of others from the Archer home for burial. The witness had testified that he had himself prepared the bodies of Andrews, Mrs. Gowdy, and Charles A. Smith. “Didn’t you tell me and Mary Arch- er and John Begley of my office. at this counsel table,” asgked Benedict M. Holden, counsel for the accused, “that You did not embalm the body of An- drews, buf watched vour men do it?" “T don’t remember,” was the repl. Pressed for a definite answer or de- nial, Smith reiterated that he did not remember. He did not remember whether there had heen and discus- sion over the matter with the parties named. He admitted that he had ad vised Mr. Shea, a licensed embalmer, formerly in his employ but now at Lee, Mass,, that he did not need to return to the state and could not be brought back. Former Gogernor Frank B. Weeks was at the @hurthouse today. He was with Judge Gardiner Greene for a short time and Jater entered the court room from the judge's chamber.

New York, June 28.—A duel resuit- ing from the murder of Frank Cassell who was killed by his ompanions last Monday in Boston because he swallow- ed $20 as they were dividing the spoils of another murder and robbery, was fought in a West Side rooming house here today. It ended in the death of Mathew Joseph Casselli a cousin of Frank, and the probable fatal injury of Thomas Abruzzo. The men rented the room on Wed- nesday and today the landlady heard them fighting. When the poiice forced entrance to the room they found Cas- selli dead and Abruzzo unconscious, with his body covered with wounds. Abruzzo, the police say, told -them that he and the Cassellis went to Bos- ton early in June and after a robbery they went to a rooming house, where Frank Casselll was killed. The other two returned to New York and quar- reled over whether they should remain here or go west. Caselli, the police were told by Abruzzo, fired the first shot and then they ciinched, using knives. NORWAY AROUSED BY GERMAN ESPIONAGE.

Police Probe DISAGREEING TESTIMONY POLICE IN CRUGER CASE BY NEGLIGENCE IS EVIDENT ieut. Flennelly Placed Blame on Lieut. _ Browne for the Delay of 14 Hours Before Search for Missing Girl Was Begun. ew York, June 2§ —Evidence of gross negligence at the fourth branch detective bureau in recording the dis- appearance of Ruth Cruger, murdered high school student, which resuited in a delay of fourteen hours before a search was begun, accumulated today at the investigation Leonard M. Wall- stein, commissioner of accounts, is conducting for Mayor Mitchel to de- termine responsibility for police fail- ure to find the body in the cellar of Alfredo Cocchi’'s shop. Browne’s Testimony Contradicted In his examination of several police witnesses today, the commissioner concentrated on ‘the part Lieutenant M. Browne had in the case. Browne was on duty at midnight, February 13, when the missing girl's disappearance was brought to the bureaw's attention. Lieutenant John J. Flannelly, who re- ieved him, flatly contradicted Browne's testimony that he had turn- ed over the report to Flannelly. The witness said also Browne told him was that there was “a missing person in the basket.” Fiannelly’s testimony placed on Lieutenant Browne blame for the initial delay. It developed during testimony of Detective Sergeant Frank McGee that Police Commissioner Woods had be- gun an investigation of the motorcycle squad, after Cocchi had been located in Ttaly, because of the reported friendliness between some motorcycle policemen and the murderer. McGee testified he had closed the case of Coc- chi’s disappearance because Commis- ner Woods had assigned Captain stisan to the case. t was taken from my said. Was Certain Girl Had Been Murdered Asked what he had told Mrs. Grace Humiston, who found the body, Mc- Gee said: “I told her that after having made a lengthy investigation, 1 felt morally certain the gzirl had been murdered. “Did you share Serzeant Lagarenne's elopement theory at the time he made his report 2 “At first 1 thought it reasonable, but I changed my mind afterward,” McGee admitted that his search of Cocchi's premises was not exhaus- tive. Asked why, he explained “Well, one reason that put me off was that Coechi is the first Italfan to commit a crime that I have ever heard of in my thirty years’ experi- ence who stayed on the sceme of the crime. 1 have been successful in hunting down crimes and this is tha only case where an Italian has staved on_the scene. “Why didn’t you dig in Cocchi’s cel- lar at the beginning?” “I did dig there, Your Honor, T was one who suggested dizging there. It was my idea and you can ask Mrs. Humiston if dizzinz wasn't done there on my idea,” McGee said. “Why didn’t vou dig there before June 16, the date when the body was founa>” “I just did not, Your Homor.” - Detective Wept. The detective wept when the com- missioner asked if there was any rea- son why a charge of negligence sho not be brought against him. “In sight of God and man.” McGee said, “T did_the best I could on that search. 1 did everything I couid.” “Your testimony gives me the im- pression you are honest” the com- missioner said at the close of the ex- amination. District Attorney Swann announced tonight that Mrs. Humiston had been offered a position on his staff which she had not vet accepted.

Newport, R. 1. June 28.—Naval au- thorities said today that no reports had been received since last night frofn wreckers who have been working day and night in an attempt to float the United States cruiser Olympia. which ran aground off Block Island early Tuesday morning in a fog. An offer to send divers and lighters ‘was declined. It was said that the cruiser's stern was high out of the water, while the bow rested upon a bed of sand in such a way that it might be difficult to pull her off. Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson, who was aboard the Olympia at the time of the grounding, remained near by today and is understood to have given orders to save the vessel at any cost. Naval officers expressed the opinion that this might not be possible, in which event the famous old ship’ will be destroyed as a menace to naviga- tion.

The delay may be ac- counted for by the report that until today General Pershing did not person- ally visit the American encampment. Navy Department Awaits Report. At the navy department reports are awaited from the commander of the convoy that accomplished without a marring incident, so far as known, one of the greatest tasks ever assign- ed a naval force. There was much discussion today as to when the American force will take over a part of the great battle line in France. Whatever plans have been made in this regard are closely guard- No official of any branch of the government would admit having any knowledge of the subject. Vast Problems to Be Worked Out.

Vast prob- lems of strategic campaigns of polit cal effects to be sought and of supply and supply lines must be worked out. The men, fresh from the tropics or from the' Mexican horder, must be carcfully acclimated to prevent sick- ness. Political Object of Move. Admittedly, the main purpose of sending the force in the brief period that was allowed to make ready and zet them across. was political. It is understood to have been the senti- mental, rather than political arguments advanced by riembers of the French and PBritish commissions which influ- enced the Washington government in dispatching General Pershing and his men. The great need of the moment as explained by Marshal Joffre. and his British associates, was to send a force with the flag at once to show the peo- ple of France, straining under the great burden of war, that a friend was at hand.

Totally Unexpected Developments of Natural Resources Have Resulted. London, June 28.—Reviewing the work of the ministry of munitions, Dr. Christopher Addison had an encourag- ing and fascinatihg story to tell in the house of commons today of amazing developments in that department after initial disappointments and Glfcuities and of the expedients and determina- tion whereby they had been overcome. His revelation of the remarkable ou put of munitions and armaments and how the necessities of war so stimu- lated national ingenuity and enterprise that totally unexpected developments of natural resources were secured which will be of unrivalled service to the nation after the war, gave par ia- ment and the public the keenest satis faction. Dr. Addison emphasized the enor- mous increase in home production of what, previous to the war, had been obtained from abroad, and said that after the war, as an instance, Great britain would find herself with her capacity for steel production increased by 50 per cent. One of the most welcome allusions was_to the fact that Great Britain would no longer be dependint upon Germany for potash supplies. Referring to munition shipments from North America, the minister pointed out that only 5.9 per cent. had been destroyed since the commence- ment of unrestricted submarine war- fare. Mr. Addison eulogized the work of the munitions ministry for the past two years and paid tribute to Kenneth Quinan, a California engineer, who de- signed and equipped the new factories in London. In production of explosives, March, 1917, he said, showed an in- crease of four times over the same month in 1916 and 23 times that of SUBMARINE WITH A WIRE CUTTING DEVICE New Device of Germans Was Sketch- ed by a British Capt: Base of The American Fleet in Brit- ish Waters, June 28.—(By The As- sociated Press.)—The captain of a for- pedoed British merchantman has turned over to the naval authorities a sketch of a new type of German sumbarine equipped with a wire cut- ting device designed to release it from nets. The sketch shows several strands of stout steel hawsers stretch- ©d from the bow through the coning tower to the stern. Attached to these is a segies of heavy circular knives a foot in diameter and placed about a vara apart. The captain made the drawing while in a small boat after his ship had been torpedoed. He had been shelled and torpedoed in two other ships, but on neither of those occasions had he no- ticed anything new in the type of the German diving boats. While he was not close enough to the last submarine to examine minutely the addition to her upper works, he was able to see plainly enough to make a good sketch. The theory of the captain is that a boat so equipped would have hope of being able to cut its way through any steel nets in which it might become enmeshed.
