SEARCH FOR SWARTz
POLICE BELIEVE SLAYER OF
 JULIA coNNoRs IS ALIVE.
Confident of His Capture--Warrant
 For His Arrest Issued.

New York, July 17--As formal indict- ment charging first degree murder against Nathan Swartz, accused slayer of 12p year old Julia Connore, in, the Bronx, on July z, was presented by the grand jury to Judge sMIlqueen, in the court of general sessions, today. A warrant for Swartz's arrest was in1- mediately issued and the police re- newed their efforts to find the mur- derer.
 According to a story circulated in the district attorneys office, the po- lice have a. suspect under surveillance in an adjacent state and wanted tie indictment and warrant ready. The police place no stock in the theory of the Swartz family that Nathan killed himself. They say that his arrest is only a question of days and that, as soon as they have him his trial will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
 The police and Assistant District At torney Mott, who is in charge of the case, assert that they have a com plete circumstantial case against the accused outside of the horrible story the members of his family told and that they could secure a conviction even though the courts should rule that his confession" to his father, eis- ter and brother could not be used against him.

BRITISH EMPLOYERS
 TO REDUCE WAGES.
ALARMED OVER THE NEW WoRKMEN's INSURANCE
 LAW.

London, July 17.-Determined to beat the new workmen's insurance law somehow, big British employers held conference on ways and means, today. The law, provides for tine pay ment of part of the premiums by the state, part by the employers and part by the employees
 The employers cannot escape taxa tioh for the states share but it is understood they: are talking of gen. eral reduction in wages to the amount of their own contributions. Then the workmen's attention will be called to the fact that they are pay ing for their own insurance. Chan ce1lor of the Exeflequer Lloyd Georges open declaration of what the employers have long suspected, that workmen's insurance is only a step in vastly larger programs of social change. has alarmed some of them greatly and they are desperate 1y anxious to upset his plans.
 It is agreed that the proposed wage decrease will precipitate violent labor troubles.

'MATT". O'BRIEN CARRIED THE. DAY Former Bridgeport Crusader
 Drove Reactionaries Out of Party PROHIBITION PARTY ADOPTED HIS PROGRAM He Made Rev. Silas Swallow
 Swallow An Anti Catholic x Resolution

Washington. July 17-That the pro- hibition national convention recently held at Atlantic City was in step with the progressive march of the age is the word brought to Washington by
 returning delegates. Attorney Mat thew E. O'Brien, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, and this city, and formerly prohibition candidate for governor, took a promi- nent part in the convention. Mr.
 O'Brien was one of the leaders in the fight. O'Brien was not to be outdone by the radical triumph in the Ba1ti- more convention, nor the attempt of the Rough Rider to overthrow the ex- isting order of things at Chicago, says the Washington correspondent of the
 O'Brien plunged into the fray at caucus of the progressive or insur- gent delegates at which over thirty states were represented. E. l.. G. Ho- henthal of Manchester, Connecticut State Chairman for the Prohibition party. was elected chairman of that caucus. O'Brien served notice that no reactionaries were wanted. He said that the old party leaders had worked long and hard and were entitled to a vacation. He therefore urged that they be taken off the committees and relegated to back seats The proposi- tion was carried with a rush. The progressives filibustered the first day of the convention to give their WorkA CTS opportunity to circulate among the delegates and sound them. It was found that majority of the delegates would support the progressive pro-l gram. si
 The steam roller was, then set in motion with OBrien as one of it's en. gineers Every motion made by his faction was passed with hurrah, the entire Connecticut delegation voting progressively on every roll call the opposition was flattened out, the so-| called reatcionaries and has beens were taken off of committees and their places filled by loyal progress sives and every progressive plan was carried handily.
 < O'Brien moved to lay on the table an anti-Catholic resolution offered by Rev. Silas Swallow, formerly prohibi- tionist candidate for President, which the prohibition party movement was ntrolled by the Methodist church. The action of the recent convention on the platform and otherwise, O'Bfien claims, makes it certain that the pro. hibition movement will be political movement Cooperation of all church es and opponents of "the demon rum" is invited.
 On "Hero Night at the convention OBrien introduced to the convention Henry Bascom Brown, of Chatham as "a youth of 79 years,' who was the only surviving member of the first prohibition convention In Connecticut, and who fsfas progressed for forty years" MT. Brown was given a round of cheers by the delegates.
 : sEseyI. e. HohenthaL of Manchester and F. G. Platt Of New Britain were elected members of the prohibition national committee for Connecticut. Hohenthal came within one vote of being chosen member of the executive committee of the party.
