WEEPS WHEN
 GIVEN. LIFE
 lMPRIS0N MENT !

Life inprisonment was the sentence given to Michael F'arkasdi by Judge Bennett in the criminal superior court this morning after the accused had pleaded guilty to murder in the sec ond degree. Farkasdi had been calm while he was listening to the clerk read the charge but as soon as sen tence was pronounced the accused be- gan to weep and would have collapsed if deputy sherifts, had not assisted him.
 F,arkasdi was originally charged with first degree murder. It was all leged that he shot and killed Julius Csoszi of this city, April 22 last The accused had been friendly with Mrs Csoszi and became desperate when he learned that she was going back to Europe with her husband.
 Realizing that there might be some difficulty in proving first degree mur- der, States Attorney Cummings agreed to let Farkasdi plead guilty to second degree in causing Mrs. Csoszi' s death The other charge was nec- essarily dropped.

NOTED BANKER. GEN. VAN KEUREN
 IS DEAD HERE
Acute Kidney Complaint
 Fatal to Financier With New England Reputation

Louis Nelson Van Keure.1, one of the prominent bankers in New Eng land, former adjutant-general and once quartermaster-geD of Con nectfcut, died suddenly at $40 today in his apartments at the Stratfeld ho- tel. For years he had been associat- ed with T. L. Watson & Co., bankers of this city. During his terms as adjutant-genera1 he made his home in this city. He was 64 years of age. Keuren of New York city and a broth CT, Everett B. Van Keuren of Worces- ter. Mass. survive him.
 Gen Van Keuren was apparently in the best of health until few days ago. when he was taken ill. While his con dition was considered serious, at no time was it thought that his illness would prove fatal. Close friends of the banker were unaware of his ill., ness, as it was thought that he would soon be able to resume his duties at the Peoples Bank and Trust company of New Haven, where he held the inn portant positions of vice-president and treasurer.
 Yesterday he suffered a slight re- lapse and several physicians were call ed in attendance. As the evening drew near, he steadily grew worse and it was thought best to call his only son and his brother to the bedside. Throughout the night his condition steadily grew worse, and as dawn a.p- preached the physicians said it was but a matter of hours when the end would come.
 When he died his wife. son and brother were at the bedside. Through out his sickness. MT. Van Keuren suf- fered but little pain. but owing to his advanced age he grew steadily weaker as the illness progressed.
 Gen Van Keuren was born in Worth boro, Sullivan county, N. r., April 1T, 1850. It was there, in the quiet coun- try village that he attended the pub lie schools and received his early edu- cation For the most part of his early years he spent the vacations employed on the farms in the vicinity of the town
 When about IS years Of age, his pa rents removed to Bridgeport. He en- tered in the employ of the T. L. Wat son & Co. of this city as an errand boy His studious habits and close attention to his work, won him the approval of his employers. He rap idly rose to various positions until at the time of his leaving for a larger field, he had attained the position of treasurer.
 It was while occupying this position with the local firm that his ability was brought to the attention of the fore l most bankers of New England. In 1898 he left the firm of T. L. Watson & co. t6 accept a. position as secretary and treasurer with the Colonial Trust l this position for ten years.
 In 1908 he left this banking com

PARIS OFFICE IS MOST CONFIDENT
 OF RESULT IN BATTLE OF AlSNE

Paris. Sept. s-The following oh1- jcial announcement was made in Paris ltoday:
 Along the entire front from the gO4ee to the Woevre. the Germans man ltfested yesterday, September 21. a cer- htafn activity without. how ever, obtain ing appreciabIe results.
 First, on, our left wing on the right sbank of the river Disc, the Germans were obliged to cede ground before fthe French attacks. Between the Oise and the Adsne the situation remains unchanged. The enemy has not deliv- cred any serious attack, contenting himsen yesterday, Monday evening, with a continued cannonading
 Second, on the center, between T7heims and Souain, the enemy at tempted an offensive movement which was repuIsed while between ssouafn and the Argone we have made some progress.
 -sBetwee the Argonne and the river Mouse there has been no change.
 Tn the Woevre district the enemy made a violent effort; he attacked the heights of the Mouse along the front between Tresauxaux, Vigneui1Ies and ceedsng in gaining 9 position on these heights

the city of Liege, Belgium, was taken by the Germans, while to the world it was announced as of the date of August Is.
 ~ From the statements made directly in the letter from the Royal professor at Kiel, whose touch with the German government authorities is such that his Knowledge of fact can hardly be disputed, the Germans have been vic torious at arms onlmany occasions that the allies have not seen it to make public in cabIed reports.
 As an instance it will be noted that on August 9th, there was a battle fought near Muelhausen in which TO- 900 French were put to flight.
 Also, at the battle of Lagarde, hitherto unpublished, a. small force of Germans were pitted against su- perior mum bers, taking one general 8. French flag and over 1, 900 prisoners. These with thousands of others are ably be fed and kept until the end Of the war.
 It will be noted that as far back as August 12, Germany gave official notice to the Belgians that they must cease committing atrocities against German civilians staying in Belgium. as well as against sntping the German soldiers barracked in the cities and towns captured. It is commented upon by Prof. Duesing that the real cause for the sack of Louvaine was actually due to the fact that TO wounded soldiers with many of1caEE.
