T. A. FIELD DAY
 IN WATERBURY.

The annual state parade and field day of the Connecticut Total Absti- hence union will be held at the Drlv- ing park in this city on Saturday, June IS, under the auspices of the St Jos. eph T. A. society. Many preparations will be made to make the parade and field day grand success. It is ex- pected that 5000 members of the state union will take part in the parade.
 The reasons for holding this celebra- ton are many, the principal ones being: First, to help build up the ranks of the c. T. A. U. by creating an interest in the temperance cause throughout the state and by letting the people at large know what a grand and benefcent organization this body Is. Secondly, to help build up the treasury of the c. T. A. U. of Connec- ticut which at the present time is in sadly depleted condition. and, thirdly, to reimburse the local society for the very great expense which they will be put to in order to make this event the grand success it deserves to be.

CAUSED BY ERROR
Russian Editors Attack on United States-Letting
 Up on Japan.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 2O.-The at Jacks on Japan in the Russian press are ceasing. The newspapers print prominently reports to the effect that the acute phase is passing and they continue to assert that meditation is unnecessary.
 A confusion of Olongapo, in Subig bay, near Manila, with Yongampho. on the Yula river, has led the Rus slan press into curious attack on the UnitedStates. The statement that Rear Admiral Evans's squadron was to proceed to Olongapo was. either garb- led in transmission or misunderstood, for it was reported here that the des- tination of the American ships was "Yougampho."h This error was made the basis of an attack on the motives of the United States by the Novoe Tremya and Listock, both papers pre- tending to sec in this motive the en- trance of the United States into the quarrel The Novoe Vremya remarks:
 "At least America will be an open enemy, which is preferable to se- cret one"

OFFER,
Willing to Release His Hold on the Bethlehem Steel
 Property.

New York, Jan. 2O.--Charles T.. Schwab has made to the four first mortgage bondholders who are press ing the action for a permanent receiy- ershp for the United States Shipbuld- ing Company what is tantamount ssl,s the times to an offer releasing his hold on the Bethlehem Steel property.
 The offer came as result of a long series of conferences which wound up in meeting of three hours duration in Mr. Schwab's office. 1t was, how ever, not accepted, nor did the condi- tions under which it was discussed later by William Nelson Cromwell, counsel for the Sheldon reorganization committee and Samuel Untermyer, at the formers residence, admit of what might be called definite proposition for the reorganization of the ship building company.
 The conference, it is understood had to do with 3-tentative plan by which the second mortgage bonds to the ez tent of $1O,O00,OO0, which MT. Schwab holds as the purchase price of his Bethlehem properties, and the 6,OOO0OO of general first mortgage bonds on the entire shipbuilding con- pany would be placed on an equal basis This, 1t is understood Is not and will not be acceptable to the four first mortgage bondholders. backing the. ConlSlin suit. who believe thai despite the fact that Nr Schwa'' ' bonds are first mortgage on the Bethlehem plant by reason of tie terms of the deal incorporating 1t as one of the constituent properties of the ship combination, their holdings and the holdings of every first mort gage bondholder ought to go ahead of the Schwab bonds in any settle. ment,
 I,htr tho natter stands at present with the n. spect, 1t is stated of an amended ot''r and a resumption of conferences looking to some kind of an agreement to end the long-drawn- out controversy #

City Engineer Cairns gave Superin- tendent Hotchkiss of the street de- parment quite a shock at the meeting of the board of public works last night The board was discussing whether the pay of the man who keeps an eye upon Hamilton park should De charged to the item public parks or public lands and buildings. MT Cairns said he thought that the street inspec.. tor should be placed under bond or $50 q day to see that no trees or shruns are destroyed in the park. The re- mark staggered the superintendent. but after few moments he rallied and probably saved himself the trou- ble and expense of bond by assuring the board that he has very trust worthy man out there who makes trip through the property every day, and that if he finds 1t necessary he will have him go through twice. me caretaker is a constable and has str1ct orders to arrest trespassers. so tnaa people who have been Ia the habit or making a stamping ground of Hamli- ton park will have to find other quar- fcrS .s-4f

NEW CHAPTERIN
 DILLONIS CASE.

A new chapter has been opened in the case of the Rev Vincent Dillonis, who is In jail in default of a payment of a verdict of $500 to Annie Rudaic- zute. This girl has lost her work at the Plume S Atwood factory through the annoyance and influence of friends of MT Dillonis. she claims. She has informed Attorney Bauby. her counsel in the suit for islander against MT Dillonis. that since he went to Jail his friends. of whom it seems he has a considerable number working in the Plume & Atwood factory. have been bothering her and making life decidedly miserable for her. She was forced to neglect her work, and this it seems is what resulted in her dis charge.
 Meanwhile MT DiIlonis is living in jail. at the expense of Annie. Sat urday afternoon he expected his friends would have him released. he having good grounds for believing they had raised a subscription to pay the verdict and costs against him He held short conversation with them over the telenhone and to his dismay found they had raised no money.

 Managers $5OO,OOO.

Chicago. Jan, 2O.--Nearly two months of work and $5OO,OO0 expenditure for repairs will be required under the new tlleater building ordinance, for the opening of the Chicago playhouses. This is the estimate of theater man. agers and it does not include the amount which will be expended for the entire rebuilding of at least one the ater.
 Three theaters arc certainly closed for good aud the managers of five oth- CTS have almost admitted that they will be sorced to suspend There are few theaters which will be able to use more than two floors for many months and many. even of the best, may aban- don the gallery permanently.
 The price of theater tickets proba- bly, will be increased. It Is said $2 and $250 as standard price for seats is likely to be advocated by the man. agers and that the low priced houses will. make corresponding increases.

EMPRESS VICTORIA.
varicose Veins Prevents Her From Receiving Many Visitors.

Berlin. Jan 20.--The Empress Au- gusta Victoria has varicose veins in one of her legs and is obliged to keep it extended on a cushion. The exclu- sion of ladies in consequence of the empress's indisposition from to-night's drawing room has caused disappoint- ment to many women of distinction who have come here from the pro- yinces of other countries for presenta- ton. Usually only one drawing room is held each season at this court, and it is uncertain now whether there will be any this winter to which ladies will be invited to attend. The empress's physicians think she probably will be able to attend the court balls. four of which will be given in February.

 Hrs BeChtel.
Claims That Thomas Bech- tel Was the Real Eel on But That Members of Family Knew Cir cumstanceS.

Allentown, Pa, Jan 20.-The prose cution today closed its case in the trial of Mrs Catherine Bechtel, ac- cused as an accessory after the fact to the murder of her daughter, Mabel. The last witness for the commonwealth was Frank W. Hauck. who was in the Bechtel home on the day Mabeps body was found. His testimony was unim- portant.
 Counsel for, the defendant asked that bills of indictment be dismissed on the ground of lack of evidence. Tn answer to this motion District Attor- ney Lichtenwalner stated that while the commonwealth's case rested en- tirely upon circumstantiai evidence, 1t was Of sufficient strength to warrant the placing of the indictments before, a jury.
 '.aThe theory of the commonwealth,' v said Mir Lichtenwafner, lis that Thom- as Bechtel was the principal felon. We believe that ne committed the crime and after its consummation was shielded by Mrs Catherine Bechtel. In support of this theory the strongest evidence is the suicide of Thomas Bechtel in prison cell, and the test- mony of Dr Lear md the many other witnesses who have testified

We will show to you pillow cases, pieces of linen and other fa- brics upon which within day or two tobacco stains have been made, and we will ask you to compare them with the stains shown you on the bolster case by the commonwealth.
 We will further prove to you that the lather's hatchet which the state produced as the weapon with which Mabel Bechtel was killed had been broken in a mill last summer. and more than that, we will prove to you beyond all. doubt that Mabel Bechtel was. seen alive on Monday, the day be- fore her death. The members of this afflicted family will go upon the wit ness stand and tell you frankly and freely Of the occurrences in their home on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday from October 25 to 27.

GUESTS .I
 SCARED.
Fire in a Chicago ]. Hotel To-Day.
Panic Was Narrowly Avert. ed--nany Theatrical People in the Hotel, Fled to Safety Scantily Attired.

Chicago, Jan 20.-1ll fortune of Chi cago theatrical people during the last few weeks was again in evidence at a fire in the Grand Palace hotel, Indi- ana and Clark streets, early today, nearly two hundred members of the atrical troupes being driven into the streets by the flames. 1t was with difficulty that panic was averted and the frightened men and women as- sisted from the structure. The fire origina ted on the second floor, sup posedly from crossed electrical wires, and was carried quickly up the eleva- tor shaft by draught to the top floor.
 Joseph Northrop, guest of the ho- tel. saw the smoke in the shaft and ran down stairs in the rear of the building to notify the night clerk The clerk immediately started awak- ening the guests and Northrop step ped into the, elevatos. ran it upward through the smoke and flames and helped arouse the guests on the top floor.
 The halls were soon filled with ex- cited men and women. The cooler guests were compelled to force them back from the windows and fire es- capes toward which rush was being made. A number Of women were preparing to jump from the windows when policemen arrived and aided the work of restraint and rescue. The women were led to rear stairway down which they escaped through the smoke. which was pouring upward from the lower floors. Miss Louise Mitchell. who had been hemmed in by the flames. was rescued by the fire men and taken. down a fire escape.
 Few of the guests had time to dress. but, a number of the women had thought of heir theatrical ward robes and stood sliverinr inothe low CT halls of the S'&.iding holding some gaudy decoration of gauze and tinsel.
 The fire was extinguished quickly after the euests had been taken from E the building. 5s4 The building is a six story, brick structure we'll provided with five .es- capes. The damape to the building was about S3.onO. This is the second .tf'ra in the builtiine in two weeks The first fire started from lirhted cigar- etc thrown on the hall carpet on the third floor
 Almost aIl' the guests at the hotel are members of theatrical companies stranded in Chicago. s

The leadii sss candidates mentioned fu Washington were Judge Parker of New York and Senator German of Maryland. with Marshall Field Of Cf1v cago as the candidate for vice presl- dent. There was also some talk of Mayor Harrison of Chicago as cara< didate for vice president. The demo- X cratic representatives = from illinois and New York seemed rather sauauiI18 of carrying their states. There seema to be quite a sentiment in this stata for Judge Parker for president and \ wouldn't be surprised if the delega~ ton favored his nomination.
 ''The democratic Committeeman from the south that attended the son. ference seemed to be divided between Senator German and Judge Parker as candidate for president. while the platform that shall be presented to the voters Of the country hy the national convention.
