with the flies and drums. While there

of Old Glory will make the blood move
so rapidly through the veins of the boys
who followed the call of the fife and
drum and entered the service of Uncle
Sam at the opening of the civil war.

statement comparing the tariff bill as passed by the Senate with the exist ing law. It is expected that this statement will be made public to-day or tomorrow. It will declare that there are five hundred reductions in tariff rates in the Senate bill from those now in force and about one hun dred increases. Of the increases a large majority of them, the statement will show, are merely the restora ton to rates as originally interpreted un- der the Dingley law.
 The charge that the House Ways and Means Commission fixed certain rates in the tariff bill merely for trad ing purposes, was indignantly repelled to-day by Representative Hill, of Con- nectfcut. sThe Ways and Means Com mission put the best work that it could perform, into that bill,' he said, and it is an outrage for any one to intimate we made any of the sched- ules for the purpose of trading"
 Hill was one of those who conferred with President Taft this morning.

FAKE DIAMOND
 OPERATOR HELD
Bond Is Fixed at $500 on Two Counts, Neither of Which Relates to Cause of Arrest.

It has now come to light that James
 Depsmeir, alias John Sterling, who is
 held at police headquarters for att
 tempting to pawn an imitation dia-
 mond at Deveau & Peck's pawn shop, has been operating in this city for some time. On or about June 26 he entered Graves loan office in Fairfield avenue and asked $30 on what seemed to be an excellent diamond, but which has now been discovered to be similar to those found in the prisoners pos session yesterday. Densmeir is want ed in South Norwalk where he is said to have worked his game on a Mr. Adson, a tailor. to the extent of $500.
 The case came before the city court this morning, but Judge Wilder con- at the request of Attorney Redden who had charge of the prosecution, all though Attorney Greenstein in behalf of the accused said that he was ready to go on with the case. The continu- ance was asked for in order to give the police more time to investigate the past record of the prisoner, whose home is in San Francisco. The police consider him a clever man in his work and think that a syndicate which con trols the manufacture of the imitation diamonds is behind him. As yet no one has appeared to offer the $500 bond named by Judge Wilder this morning.
 When he is brought to trial tomor- row he will have to answer to two that of obtaining money under false pretenses from Glasner, the pawn broker, and that of getting money in a similar manner from Graves. His at tempt to pass the diamond at Deveau & PeckS will not be regarded in the case at all. Even if Densmeir does succeed in avoiding punishment for offense he will be a defendant in a civil suit brought by MT. Glasner through Attorneys Shapiro & Shapiro. An attachment was placed last night on the prisoners money, gold watch, and other personal property.

WILL CURTIS GET $l,SOO JOB NOW
 HELD BY HUGHES!

Friends of John c. Curtis are mak- ing an effort to secure his appoint ment to the Board of Assessors in place of Frank J. Hughes. MT. Curtis was recently appointed to the Board of Relief for a three year term at a salary of $2O0 per annum. His friends would like to see him appoint ed to the Board of Assessors as it pays $1,S0O per annum and is a four year term. Although the mayor is a strong friend of MT. Curtis there is no doubt in the minds of MT. Hughes friends that he will succeed himself on the board. MT. Curtis recently re- tired from active business as a. divis- ion manager of the Adams Express Co. It is said that if the matter was left with the board of assessors they would be for Hughes, as they do not want to the trouble of breaking a new member into the work.
 There is a great deal of speculation as to the course the mayor will pur- sue in the matter.

The rioting was continued all day yes- terday and grew to it's most serious stage last night in Belfast, where the rioters repeatedly turned on police and routed them. As soon as the police were driven back the rioters separated into clans and began fighting among themselves.
 Finally a force of 300 policemen were marched against the principal squad of the rioters and a pitched battle which lasted for more than an hour followed The police were compelled to swing right and left with their clubs and cracked many skull before the riot CTS were finally dispersed. The ser fousness of the fight is indicated by the fact that eight policemen have been sent to the hospitals while many hospitals are filled with rioters. many of them women. A number of them have no chance for recovery.
 The streets of Belfast are filled with all of the police reserves under arms, ready to suppress another outbreak should it occur. Many stores in the quarters of Belfast where the riots were most serious. were sacked during the melee. thieves taking advantage of the fierce fight, to ply their trade. Losses are said to be very heavy Nearly all the windows in one section of the city are smashed out by flying rocks thrown by the combatants.

HALF OF K. OF (.
 FUND IS PLEDGED
SUPREME KNIGHT LEARN EEK. PECTS REST OF $5OO,O0O WITH
 IN SIXTY DAYS.
Flaherty His Successor

Hearn Retires Owing to Business
 Pressure Board Ends Its Session Today.
 New Haven, July 13.-At the regu- lar quarterly meeting of the national board of directors of the Knights of Columbus yesterday, the sum of s100,- 900 was voted to be turned over by the treasury to the finance committee for investment. As under the char ter of the order. which was issued in the state of Connecticut in 1882. all investments must be made in securi- ties that are legal investments for Connecticut Savings banks and trust funds, this $1O0,000 will have to be turned into securities of that nature. The selection of securities to be pur- chased, subject to that restriction, rests entirely with the finance com- mfttee.
 One of the matters discussed with much interest at yesterdays meeting was the progress of the s5o0,000 fund for the Catholic University at Wash ington, D. C., from the members of the order all over the country: This at said university for sons Of mem bers of the order. More than half has been pledged to date, and the balance, according to the opinion of Supreme
  60 days. Each member contributes $2. 2.50 in the average.
 There is some anticipation in the or der as to who will succeed Supreme Knight Edward l.. Hearn, who when his term expires in August will not be a candidate again for that office. It is thought that James A. F1aherty of Philadelphia, now deputy supreme knight, probably will be elected in his place.
 MT. Hearn, according to his own statement, will not be a candidate for the office of supreme knight again, as his business in the future will require his entire attention, and the order has grown to such dimensions that to be the head of the tremendous organiZa- tion requires more time than MT. Heard feels he can afford the cause. MT. Hearn has been at the head of the order for about ten years, and during that time has effected a most success full administration, raising the num- Der of the order from 3o,Oo0 to 2a5.ONo members.

(By our Staff Correspondent.)

(By our Staff Correspondent.)
 Hartford, July 13.-The House by an overwhelming vote today turned down a. report from the Excise committee and voted to have all saloons and places where liquor is sold closed on Christmas day. An unsuccessful at tempt was made to have the bill re- committed.
 Representative Hayes of Waterbury made a futile effort to amend the bill so as to exempt hotels from it's provis- ions.
 Several members of the House de- clared that of all days in the year Christmas day was one when the fam fly group should be assembled togeth- ed. Very often instead of happiness there was much misery due to over indulgence in Christmas cheer. When the vote was taken only one lone voice was heard against the bill. The meas ure was immediately transmitted to the Senate under a suspension of the rules, where it will come up for action tomorrow.
 The Senate rejected today the. bill extenddne to women the right of fran chise on license questions, by a deci- size vote. The Senate then passed the bill extending to women the right of suffrage on all property questions with the provision that only women owning real estate shall be allowed to vote.

The Cossacks have barricaded themselves and after fierce street fight ing are falling back from the advance, to concentrate about the palace. The Shah is closely guarded at the palace around which the greater part Of the defending force is now collected The rebels however are cutting down all resistance and capturing barricade aft CT barricade. It now seems certain the rebels will force their way to the palace. Preparations have been made for the Shah to take refuge in the Russian legation but even there his safety will be most uncertain.
 The rebels in two parties under .Sa-darasad and Siphadar made their entrance to the city almost simultane- ously. The Cossacks made an attempt at resistance as they reached the outer Notifications that had been thrown up in the streets but the advance was not to be checked and the rebels swept on, firing volley after volley in to the rear of the fleeing Cossacks.

FOUR NATIONS MAY BE INVOLVED IN
 A WAR
Special from United Press.), !,


 La Pase, Bolivia, July 13.-F'our na- tions may be involved in a war shortly over the rich Acre country. Brazil, thinking the country belonged to Bolivia paid that nation SIG, ,OO0, 900 for a section of the country. Peru claimed that the country belonged to her and not to Bolivia. The matter was arbi- trated, the president of Argentina be- ing the judge. He awarded the entire Acre country to Peru. The Bolivian government has refused now to accept the decision. This is regarded by many as a formal declaration of war on Peru.
 Peruvians in Bolivia are in great danger, many of their stores having been ransacked. Only a strong guard prevents the Peruvian embassy from being attacked. Argentine's embassy too is being guarded by soldiers. Ar gentina has demanded an explanation from Bolivia for the insults to the Ar genuine flag at the embassy in the Bolivia capitol. If the explanation and apology are not forthcoming Ar gentina will sever relations with Boli- via and war may follow.
 War with Peru may follow the re- fusal of Bolivia to accept the decision.

DO NOT WEIGH COAL AT HOME
 MILLER SAYS
Former Lakeview Steward Declares that Use of Scales Ceased With Inves- tigation's Close.

Charles A. Miller. formerly steward of the Lakeview Home, who is one of the few citizens of Bridgeport who ever resigned a. public place, has not forgotten that President Stone of the Charities department once accused him of not weighing the coal brought to the Home. Steward Miller admitted the charge, offering as defense that the custom was not to weigh it. In talking 10 a represeE tative of the Far mer today he said:
 "The proof of my claim that it was not the custom to weigh coal at Lake view is that it is not weighed now. While the investigation was in pro- gress a few loads of coal were tried out on the scales; since then none."
 MT. Miller further said that he is prepared to substantiate the new ale gation that he has made.

 washington, July 13.-'Pretty soon
 ha House conferees will be hearing
 lron their colleagues and then we I,n.v he able to make better progress. There is not a change that we have made in the tariff bill that has not one or more Congressmen back of it.
 elch was the significant statement made to-day by one of the represen- tatiyes of the Senate on the tariff con ference commit tee. When snags are and the report comes that there is a deadlock on this or that item the pressure of these House members will begin to be exerted in favor Of the will find, in the opinion of this Sena- tor that they have enemies behind as well as in front of them.
 The present situation in the confer sence committee is not altogether sat sdsfactory Very little actual progress g11aa been made. Practically nothing has been done beyond reading the Dill over for the first time and even this Amendments have, it is true, been agreed to, but they are only those of rninor importance. One by one as they have been accepted they have 1been set aside by the conferees or s1eId up for further discussion. Of iaII the matters in the schedules, it is expected that the biggest fights in conference will take place over the eocaIled raw material. Iron ore has aIready been passed over to be taken mn later. So have lead bullion, hides and lumber. It is expected that there 1s a disposftion among the Senate con- ferees to make concessions to the 94o,,se on Iron ore. The rate which was fixed at 25cents, as against the House action in putting it on the free list is pretty certain to be reduced and there is even a possibility that it ,rnav be restored to the free list. If # becomes necessary to go that far dn order to enable the Senate to win out on other things.
 But on hides and lumber, the House representatives, it is believed will find Ifhemselves up against a solid wall They have been told that it would be impossible to put the measure through the Senate providing for free hides or for the $1 rate per thousand on lumber. On coal it is said there
 will be little difficulty in reaching a comprornise. The House rate was 67 cents per ton together with recipro- lcfty feature which might result in free coal from Canada The Senate Ireduced the rate to 60 cents, struck Iout the reciprocity measure and put ietack coal at 15 cents for the benefit Of the New England manufacturer.
