Berger ExpoundS
 SOCiaIiStiC View
 Of Standing Army
Especial from United Press. )

Washington, Feb. 16-On the text that "a standing army Is a standing preparation for war; Representative Victor L. Berger, the wisconsin So- cialist. today expounded to the House the Socialist view of the military branch of the government. Berger urged a "demqcratic militia system, like Switzer and
 We are spending more than $4OO,- GOO, 900 for miIitarism and the effects of mihtarism, and only $20O, 900, 900 for the public school system" he said. 'Tt Is useless to cry peace as long as we are voting tremendous sums for a standing army
 For defense purposes, Berger con- tended that there was no need of a standing army.
 Texas alone could whip Mexico in case of attack" he continued. If the Canadians should try to attack us I believe New York alone could do the job"
 A permanent army machine, he said, was always in danger of becoming the Eool of the "man on horseback"
 The Swiss system, Berger said, con- 4emplated compulsory military service and no standing army.

York After she became blind I be- gan to lose my mind and have been blank spells at different times since then.
 T remember that I went to the Tait paper mill on the night of February $50 o'clock I remember speaking to Oscar Miller and Henry Mullins about getting work. I don't remember where I was after that. My mind is a blank.''
 Mi Ter, or ScheibIer, as he now calls himself, here went on to give a very rambling and incoherent statement about himself He frequently broke down and cried while talking and gave evidence of being on the verge of ner- vouS prostration. His statements were entirely voluntary and he sent for Capt. Arnold to make them each time. various places where he has boarded in Bridgeport, and also said some thing about having taken a young woman to a dance in Rackoczy hall. on which occasion he was informed that he was out with another mans wife, and the man who told him tried to pick a fight about it, but Scheibler avoided his wouId-be assailant
 The police are unearthing so much evidence against the accused that his outlook grows darker every moment. While the evidence is of course en- tirely circumstantial, there having 
 it is so overwhelming and complete that the authorities are morally certain that he is the guilty man.
 When first arrested, Miller, Hr ScheibTer, attempted to state th1>e was home in his own dwelling at tI4e time the crime was committed. The police immedia tely investigated and found that he did not return until 1 o'clock that morning, although he ad- mits having been at the Tait paper mil at 10 o'clock and declares that he left immediately afterward.
 His change in statement today to the effect that he cannot remember what happened, Is almost equivalent to a confession when taken in cOnnec- tion with the evidence against him.
 The accused man is a big fellow, but has a vacant look on his face. While he may be shamming, there is good reason to believe that he is weak minded and more or less irresponsible e. According to the direction that the case is turning at present, it looks as though the accused man is in line for life term in the criminal side of the State insane asylum.

WANTS S4,OOO VERDICT
 SET ASIDE BY COURT
Lawyer For Connecticut Co. Says Jury Erred in Awarding Heavy Damages to Peter F.
 MarrOn.

A motion to set aside the s4,OOO yer dict which a jury in the Superior court recently awarded in the suit of Peter F. Marron against the Connec- ticut Co.,, was made before Judge Case in the short calendar session of the Superior court, this morning. Mar ron was formery employed as a line man and it Was claimed that he was seriously injured when a defective switch in Norwalk caused a trolley car in which he was riding, to leaVe the track
 Attorney J. F. Berry, representing the Connecticut Co.,, this morning de- clared that the jury's verdict had not been given in accordance with the facts. He said the jury evidently gave a verdict under the impression that the company was liable for all accidents regardless of whether there was negligence on the part of the plaintiff.
 The court reserved decision in the matter.

$I,5OO Berth Prepared For
 Dennis E. Kelly
Former Aide man of the Twelfth District is Slated
 For Sealer

At the meeting of the Common Council next Monday evening report is expected from the Committee on Ordinances which will provide for the salary of the sealer of weights and measures.
 Under the action of the last general assembly the method of sealing weights and measures in this city is radically changed. Instead of the election by the Common Council of a Democratic and Republican sealer, the mayor is to appoint one sealer, and he is to be confirmed by the Common Council.
 The situation might prove enbar- rassing to the mayor for he will name a Republican while the Demo- cratic Common Council has ample votes to control the situation by re- fusing to confirm.
 However the administration ap- pears to have no difficulty in getting whatever it asks for from the alder men.
 Pending the action of the mayor and the fixing of the salary of the new sealer however, the present sealers, Howard P. Bayette. republi- can and John Lynch, hold office, Their pay comes from fees which they collect in connection with the per formance of their duties. It is expect ed that the salary will be fixed at $1,- 800 with no fees. Former Alderman Dennis E. Kelly of the 12th district is slated for the place.

 Night Of Crime
Asserts He Has Been Partially Out Of His Head Since His Wife Was Stricken Blind In 9G5--RemembeTS Having Been At Tait Paper Mill On Night That WatChman Was Murdered, But Mind Is A Blank On What

A nervous wreck and on the verge of complete collapse, the man known as John F.

 Miller sent for Detective Captain Arr mold twice this morning, each time sending word to the detective that he had a statement to make.
 His first statement to Capt. Arnold was a surprising one.
 T cannot remember my right name, V he declared. "I do not think that John Miller is my right name, but I cannot remember what my right name calling myself John Miller, but that is the only name I can think of
 ''I wish you would try to hF d out for me what my right name is"
