END OF coHoEs STRIKE
Strikers and Manufacturers Settle
Their Difficulties.

The trouble of the garnet workers
employed in the bat shops and
shoddy mills, of Cohoes, which had
been in progress since April l., was
brought TO an end Saturday, when
the manufacturers notified the EN-
ployes' representatives that the pro
position discussed at a conference
Friday afternoon was acceptable to
the manufacturers. The conditions
under which the settlement was
brought about is said to be really
victory for the men, although at the
same time it may be considered a vic
tory for the manufacturers, as both
sides won their points. The terms
of the settlement provide that the
men shall not work more than fifty
four hours a week in any of the mills
although the machinery in the plants
will be operated sixty hours. The
way this will be accomplished will be
by having one shift work during the
dinner hour while another shift
goes to dinner. All the man who did
not work pending the dispute will be
given their places again.
AAN hAiS VIII StoiN up again 40
son as possible, although il was
stated Saturday by the employees
representatives and also by one of
the manufacturers that there are
several of the manufacturers who
have yet to adjust some minor diff
ferences with their men. Just who
these manufacturers are neither side
would state. but they EXPRESSED the
opinion that it was only a question
of day or so before these differenc-
es would be settled.

ALMIGHTY DOLLAR
REAL MOTIVE OF
WAR SH0UTERS
Secretary Bryan Says ArmOr
Makers Are Responsible
RAP FOR MERCENARY PRESS
Nebraskan Charges That Money is
Spent in This Country to Make
Trouble in Another

Washington, May 19.-Vigorous de
nunciation of subsidized patriotism
which seeks to create war because
of the profits in armor plate and bat
tleships" and of the sensational and
mercenary newspapers which prefer
big, scare headlines to the truth
marked an address by Secretary Bry-
an yesterday at Hague anniversary
meeting held under the auspices OF
the Washington peace society. 1t was
in celebration of the 14th anniver-
sary of the first meeting at The
Hague
"War is in the interest of a few
people, not of all" Mr.. Bryan de
clared. "The profits are garnered
by few, while the masses pay the
taxes. A few men gain glory while
the others of the nation furnish the
sons who are fond for battlehelds.
War rests upon feeling, not upon
necessity. Back of much of the fur
or for war is a selfish interest in the
manufacture of battleships. And
there are men so unpatriotic that
they try to stir up trouble in another
country against their own so as to
make personal profit therefrom. Is
there any bases use for money!"
The secretary asserted that the
world was drawing away from the
time when ware will be made to graft
fly selfish interests and ambitions.
Increasing intelligence" he added,
sis one of the forces working for
peace because the people are learn
ing to understand the cause that
lead to war. The people are learn
ing to discriminate also" he continu
ed, between patriotic newspapers
and those that seek only for big
headlines. | was glad to see the at
tack Secretary Daniel made on this
sensationalism. l hope to s'e this
discrimination by the people in
creased"
Secretary Bryan expressed the be-
lief that in time this country would
have treaties with all other nations
providing for efforts to arbitrate all
questions of dispute ind that other
nations would follow this countrys
example These agreements, he
said, would make it almost impos-
sible to bring this country into war
with any other contracting nation"
Increasing intelligence, the grow
ing disposition to bring governments
nearer the people and the moral
growth of the world, he declared
were the three great factors making
for peace. The danger that sudden
ly inhamed public feeling will throw
a nation into war is growing less he
said, because the people are begin
ming to see that war does not benefit
them, that they pay the taxes and
shed the blood and that it is usually
melted by those who look for person
al profit. Preparation for war en-
courage war, he added, those nations
that spend most of their time getting
ready for war standing the best
chance of going to war. He said
that it was possible to change the
the ideal of the world, just as can be
done with an individual, and that the
idell of peace would prevail through
out the entire world after a time.

THE WORLD OF CHANGE.

T WONDER what Caesar that grand
Roman geeser.
Would say from the clouds should he
fall.
And great Alexander-would it raise his
dander
To note that the world had grown
small?
Would Mr.. Darius some new words supply
us.
Expressing his wonder, ween?
Would Peter the hermit request for a per-
NIT
To travel by flying machine?
These fellows were greater and quite up
TO dster
Than any one else in their day
They gloried in slaughter, and blood ran
like water.
And terrible things were 20 pay.
They had not rife or any such triie
Their thousands OF victims to scare.
No cannon with thunder made foes
knuckle under.
So war was a two cent AFFAIR.
They had no inventions that any one
mentions
Who wrote up their lives less or more.
You wouldn't be willing to pay them q
shilling
For all Of the clothes that they wore.
1 hate to disparage their cheap two
wheeled carriage.
For really IL was but a cart
And not worthy the hooking. and as for
their cooking.
They hadn't discovered the art.
The world has new vigor since they cut
figure.
And n would astound them Won bet.
And how they would dwindle. for Darwin
and Tyndall
Are bigger than all OF their set
And they would grow humble II they were
to stumble
In lodging a car painted red
To be quite specific. the pace 50 terrific
Would bulge their eyes out OF their head.

Public recreation is the most effec-
tive rival Of the saloon that has thus
far been discovered. II the city fur
nishes a playground system where
there is always place TO go to until
10 o'clock every night, that is physi-
cally much more attractive than the
saloon. There are attractive. well
lighted rooms in the field houses where
clubs can meet for nothing and where
lntoxicants cannot be had. In the
restaurant of the building are soft
drinks and coffee at cost If party

the field house offers a hall and good
music, and IL will cost them nothing.
IL they prefer to have gymnastics I'm
the evening the field house furnishes
the gymnasium and the physical di-
rector to see that IL is worth while.
If they wish to have athletics during
the day the playground furnishes the
athletic field. The personal standards
and touch Of the directors influence
the boy more or less. and he soon

athletics which are apt TO be his great

JOHNSON'S DELAY ANNoYS
Bryan Obliged to Await Governors
Signature Before Replying

Washington, May 1S-Tension ov-
er the Japanese situation continues.
to excite anxious attention in official
and diplomatic quarters, but there
were no specific developments here
today.
Nine of the 30 days Gov. Johnson
has under the California constitution
to sign the alien land bill have row
elapsed and the impression is gain
ing ground that the governor will
avail himself of the full meausre of
time, even though he has declared
his purpose to approve the Webb bill
Secretary Bryan is now waiting for
the final act of signature before max
ing reply to the japanese note pro
testing against the legislation.
Japanese Embassy May Not Wait
Whether the Japanese embassy
will continue to await the expiration
of the full 30 days period of grace
before making fresh representations
on this subject to the state depart
ment depends entirely upon judg-
ment of the foreign office in Toxic.
1t has been suggested that although
there may be some preliminary ex-
changes before the event, the Japa-
nese government can find no techni-
cal reason for demanding relief be-
fore the commission of some action
under the terms of the Webb law to
the detriment of a japanese subject
In that case, a further considerable
delay is probable as the act will not
go into operation for a period OF 80
days after it receives the approval
of the governor.

ITALIAN SLAYER
ARRESTED SUNDAY
IN ARLINGTON
Torino Confessed He Shot Man
At Asbury Park N. J.
FOUGHT RUTLAND OFFICERS
Crime Alleged to Have Been Com
mitted on April and Torino
Claims Self Defence.

Rutland, May 19.-After a futile
, search of more than a month by the
| authorities for Biazzio Torino. who
on Sunday night, April 6, shot and
killed one, Dominic of Dominy Sheb-
bell at Asbury Park, N. j., the MUIR
derer was apprehended at Arlington,
Sunday afternoon, where he was
working on water works construc-
ton job conducted by Pascal Ricci.
The arrest was made by Rutland Of
ficers, Special Policemen James Pit
aniello, Chief of Police Jesse Young
and Deputy Sheriff Pascal Ricci, who
went to Arlington by automobile yes
terday afternoon. Torino fought the
officers desperately when he had
leaned their mission, but later broke
down and confessed to the crime, al
though he alleged self-defense.
Special Officer Pitaniello, to whom
the other officers give most of the
credit for the arrest. has been work
ing on the case since last Wednes-
day when detectives, who had been
in Rutland on the matter, gave up
the chase in disgust and returned
home.
Torino killed his man by shooting
the bullets striking his victim in the
abdomen. In support of his conten-
ton that he fired the fatal shots in
self-defense, he last night showed
the police the marks Of razor slashes
on his hands and body which he de-
clared were inflicted upon him by
Shebbell.
The hunt for Torino has been 60
ing on ever since his crime. Last
week detectives who were working
on the case came to this city, being
convinced their quarry had sought
haven here. officer Pitaniello went
to work on the matter then, and did
not give up until he had his man.
In trailing Torino the policeman
found of much use to him the fact
that he and the criminal hail from
the same part of Italy.
Torino was in Rutland about a
month ago, some little time after
the commission of his crime. He
and his brother Antonio lived to-
6CthSA at ANO Eo0 WtSI SlIttl.
Since leaving Rutland the brothers
have been at work at Arlington. BY
methods best known to themselves
the Rutland officers trailed the men
to Arlington, and left at 3 o'clock
yesterday by auto to make the ar
rest. Antonio fought even more
fiercely than his brother for the lat
ter's liberty. He made several at
lacks upon the policemen In the
course of the arrest Biazzio Tori
no was brought to this city and
lodged at the house of correction for
safe keeping last night. There is
reward of substantial nature Offer
ed for the fugitive's capture. Biaz-
zio Torino is "a years old, and has
a wife and two children in New York
newly arrived in this country.
