TWO BILLS FROM
 PROHIBITIONIST
 LOBBY DEFEATED
Committee Puts Xii bosh on Bill to License
 Bartenders Measure to Divert Police Pension Fund Also to be Unfavorably Reported.
Especial to the Farmer.l


 Hartford. March 1.-The excise com put the kibosh on two measures which had been strenuously advocated by the lobby of the prohibition and temper ance interests. One bill provided that all bartenders in this State should be licensed before being allowed to off, ciate as dispenrers of intoxicating beverages; the license fee to be $2 an- nually, collected by the County Com missioners; any bartender caught sell ing liquor in violation of the law to be dfsbarred, and prevented from any further continuation of that pursuit. Senator Mitchell of New Haven, Sem ate chairman of the committee, de- clared the bill proposed would impose tax on labor and legislation of that kind, he said, was not desired in this State. His colleagues agreed with him and the bill will be reported un- favorably
 Senator Mitchell also took a promi- nent part in the defeat in committee of a proposed bill introduced by the combined temperance and prohibition lobby by which revenue amounting at present to s55,o00 annually would be taken from the city of Bridgeport and transferred to the State.
 Under the existing law the cities which maintain police and fire pension funds are entitled annually to a DOT tion of the revenue derived from li- quor licenses. Bridgeport's portion of the revenue for the last license year approximated s55,oOO. The combined anti-liquor interests favored the re- peal of this law because they wanted the money now devoted to the inter- ests of the pensions of the fire and police departments to go to the State police through which body many of the crusaders of the anti-liquor inter- ests are carried on.
 Senator Mitchell pointed out the in justice of this bill and he was ably upheld by Representative Bent of who told what hardship it's passage would be not only to Bridgeport but to every city in the State that maintains funds for re- tired fremen and policemen. It is expected that the adverse report on this matter will be made in the Sen ate tomorrow.

Both were arrested for burglary committed Tuesday, Feb. 2S, in the day season at the home of Tony Whitehead in Grand street. In White heads absence Margaret entered his home with key, removed a suit of clothing and an overcoat. She gave the property to her husband and he realized $3 upon it.
 Both testified today that Joseph had nc knowledge of the burglary, that Margaret gave him the garments saying they were taken from a man who owed her money for board. Of late the COgnacs have been living at Railroad avenue and Warren street. They formerly resided at 23 Railroad court

CELLS SOBER BOYS
 WHO PELTED BALD HEADS WITH METAL

Three youths who diverted them selves during the performance at Poli's last evening by pelting the bald heads down front with pellets of metal, were arraigned before Judge Wilder in the City Court today. Special Po- liceman Keenan, the theatre officer, apprehended the trio, last night.
 They gave the names of Theodore Dwyer, 592 Ogden street, Joseph Schil- ling, 690 Ogden street and William Zima 54 Suggetts Lane, and acknowledged their guilt. They were charged with breach of the peace and assault
 Judge Wilder turned the three over to Probation Officer Garfield and con- tinued their cases for one month. They work for the Bridgeport Chain Co.,. where they gathered the bits of metal they used to rain from the top gall lery down upon the head of the un- suspecting audience in the parquet Their night in cells at police head- quarters gave them a more sober idea of the seriousness of their plight than the shock of their arrest, and when they left the court room they were teeming with promises of good behav- for.

WASHINGTON KNOWS TT.

Washington, March 15-That Japan already has an army of veteran SOL diers in Hawaii and has been engaged during the last year in military activ- ity in the Philippines was admitted here, today, in connection with the statement of Count Won Reventlow.
 The official attitude or utmost cor pan prevented any official comment upon the Reventlow statement but sev- eral army and navy officers have re- gently received personal information in letters from the far east which largely bears out the contentious of the Ger man expert.
 It is declared that Japan firmly be- 1ieves she could take the Philippines with ease. That her spies have been at work in the islands has not been denied since the arrest of two Japan csc secret agents at Corrigador, last fall. In case of war it is believed here the first attack would be made in Hawaii, where an army of Japan csc, it is asserted, can be put in the
 field over night. By endeavoring to cut off the American fleet through the character of her naval bases, Japan plans to hold the Philippines at her mercy, it is said.
 That the activity in Mexico is being made because Japan wants to estab- fish a coaling station at Manzanillo was pointed out as an indication that, being satisfied with his ability to sweep the American flag out of the Orient. the Mikado is now putting the plans, as asserted by Representative Richmond Pearson Hobson, to declare war before the Panama Canal is open ed.

 The vast mineral wealth of the Central American republics and the natural resources of Mexico are cov- eted by the Americans
 Plans were made by the American State Department to hoodwink the American people. Talk of plots against American interests and statments of a secret alliance between Mexico and Japan was stirred up. Similar tactics were pursued in the case of my coun- try. The whole plan originates from the desire to steal all of the country lying between the Panama Canal and the southern boundary of the United States

Especial from United Press )


 Seoul, Korea, March 15-A plot to assa ssinate. the war minister and Gov ernor General Terauchi, by wrecking a train, was discovered today by the Japanese through secret information by an American missionary in Korea. The missionary received a copy of the Korean Terrorists manifesto divulging the plot and immediately turned it over to the authorities.
 Forty Koreans, including Aiming ken, assassin of Prince Ito. are under arrest. It is believed that further arrests will be difficult as the accom- plices of the Terrorists have probably crossed the border into Russia. The Japanese officials here announce that the trials of the accused men will be held here secretly and at night, the trial court converting at midnight.
