GIRL WHO TRIES
SUICIDE NOW
OUT OF DANGER
Young Lithuanian Woman
Shoots Herself When Lover

HOME OF NEWLY-WED MAN
Latter Makes Charge that Girl
Had Intended to Shoot
Him.

Emilia Bugalis, the twenty-five
year-old Brooklyn girl who shot her
self yesterday in the hallway of 1913
Jackson street, after being elected
from the home of the man she says
was formerly her lover, probably will
recover. At the City Hospital it was
said this forenoon that she was rest
ing comfortably and in no danger of
death. She is under arrest charged
with attempting to commit suicide.
She seems to have lost her courage
and apparently has no present desire
to push further the legal proceed
ings she commenced last week against
Joseph Czelkis now that he has been
married. Mrs. Czell1is. until yester-
day morning at 10:30 Miss Costo
Gavenas, was in an indignant frame
of mind this forenoon and said, re-
ferring to the Brooklyn girl: "She
should not be arrested for at
to commit suicide, but for
to commit murder. She
had murder in her heart yesterday
when she came to my house. She told
my mother, waving revolver:
Three of us will get this You see,
she had murder in her heart"
When the bride was asked how she
felt about the interruption of her
honeymoon she said. cor course I'm
sore to have her do that, but still I'm
satisfied. I'm married to him and she
isn't"
The Brooklyn girls attempt to take
her life was the finish of four days of
excited endeavor to prevent the mar
riage of Czelkis and the Gavenas girl.
She came to Newark Thursday with
a revolver for which she paid $40, but
Immediately sought counsel of At

WASHINGTON, Aug discharges
by New York newspaper of a wide-

today. Though the accusations have
not been brought officially before ths
administration, steps we're ALREADY
being taken to probe those particu-

credited to the United States.
It was said that probably both the
treasury and justice departments
would participate in the inquiry.
which would be designed especially 10
determine if the revelations show any
violation of American neutrality.
Although without official conhrma-
tion, it was reported also that the
administration will inquire whether
any officers or agents connected witA
the German embassy or consulates
have been guilty OF misconduct. y
so, their recall will be requested.

activity, hut comes near to being the

vately said, but they agreed that the
method of such stand might over

This is the phase of the New York
charges which the government agen-
cies will particularly concern them

A high government official stated
today .hat the administration was
already cognizant of many of the cir

QUICK DECISION
BY THE BALKANS
IS LOOKED FOR
Massing of Teutons Against
Serbia and Turk Munitions
Shortage Factors.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME. Aug. 16-Massing of Aus
tro- German troops along the Serbian
frontier and the bombardment of
Belgrade, coming at a critical time
In the Balkan negotiations, may
throw the balance in favor of the
allies and bring Bulgaria, Rumania
and Greece into the war.
Dispatches from Bucharest and
Sofia early today said the greatest
alarm has been caused there by news
that the Austrians have resumed the
offensive on the Serbian frontier pre-
liminary to an Austro- German drive
through the Balkans TO the relief of
Turkey. Both Rumanian and But
garian diplomats here fear such a
move threatens the national exist
ence of their countries and are
watching developments near Belgrade
with the greatest anxiety.
Both the Greek and Serbian parlia-
ments met today The decisions they
are to make, possibly within the next
fortnight, will settle the fate of the
Balkan states and will have tre-
mendous influence on the outcome of
the world war. The meeting of the
Rumanian crown council at Bucha-
rest Yesterday was another incident
of greatest Importance in the Balkan
situation. Within the past few days
there has been an active exchange
of views between Serbia and Greece.
Despite contrary reports from Nish,
diplomats here believe Serbia Is ready
to make important concessions to OBJ
tain Bulgaria's participation in the
war.
Former Premier Venizelos, who
comes into power at A thens this week
has remained silent regarding his
program. but the allied gov rnments
are hoping he viii overcome the oppo-
sition To Bulgarian concessions on the
part of Greece. removing the last OBJ
stacle TO renewal of the BALKAN alli
anCe.
Three elements entering into the
situation arc counted upon by the
representatives of the allies here 20
force the Balkan states INTO quick
accord. possibly within a fortnight
Thev are. The cert linty that the
present lack OF Turkish ammunition
makes this n most favorable time for
Intervention; the fact that the allies
have landed achievements and have
registered fresh successes at the
Dardanelles which might cause the
BaIkans To lose their opportunity to
share the fruits of victory should the
allies reach Constantinople with them,
and finally. the concentration of
Austro-G Germans against Serbia.
This last factor, the newest in the
Balkan situation, is of the utmost
Importance. Both Bucharest and Sofia
dispatches today indicated that the
latest move of the Austro-Germans
has aroused the greatest d.ssatisfac-
ton.

oil Men May Hold
Convention Here in
Jubilee Week, 1916
ConcIave of a Thousand Repre-
sentatives a Possible Feature
for Anniversary.

A convention of thousand oil men,
It appears likely today, will be one
of the features of the 250th anniver-
sary celebration in Newark next year.
The Committee of One Hundred made
the announcement this morning that
S. B. Cochrane, of the Steel Barrel
Company of America, which has a
branch here. had interested himself
in securing the annual convention of
the Independent Petroleum Produc-
ers' Assoc citation of the United States
during the celebration period.
On August "a the convention, which
usually is attended by a thousand of
the most prominent independent oil
iran, will open its sessions in Milwau-
kee. the 1915 convention city Mr..
Cochrane will attend. with a great
mass of literature descriptive of
Newark and the celebration, and will
make speech on the floor of the
convention urging the selection of
Newark as the convention city. Be-
side this he will lobby" actively.
Altogether Newark's chances of hav-
ing this large convention. which ex-
tends over the major part of week,
are considered bright.

GUARDS HERE
TO PROTECT THE

POLICE MAKE OBJECTIONS,

Benches Today.
POLICE MAKE OBJECTIONS,
BUT GUARDS GO ON DUTY

Peter Weber president of the Sloan
d Chaee Manufacturing Company,
brought four professional strikebreak- &
ing guards to Newark today and put
them on duty at the factory on Thir-
teenth avenue, where $50 machinists
are on strike under the auspices of
the Brotherhood of Metal Workers
The action was expected by the po-
lice, as Weber had said last week
that stones were thrown at the strike
breakers on their way to and from
the Rosevlle station of the Lacka-
wanna railroad This statement was
emphatically denied by the police who
have done guard duty.
As soon as Captain Carroll, of the
Fifth precinct, heard of the importa.
tion of the guards he registered an
objection with President Weber. say
ing that the strike so far had been
entirely without violence, and that
the presence of the guards would only
inflame the men still out. TWO of
the four We're recognized as profess
duty at the recent strike of machn-
lists in Trenton.
President Weber assured Captain
Carroll that the guards would be
kept inside the plant, and would do
nothing TO harass the strikers. The
four were stationed at the entrance
to the plant, and frequently took short
walks up and down the sidewalk in
front of the entrance. The dozen OF
more pickets on duty nearby paid nc
attention to the guards, although the
two factions were only a few yards
apart
At present there seems little likeli-
hood of the firms being able to i'm
port many strlkebreaking machinists
George p. McGrath, who has been II

roundup Saturday, advertising n
several papers for German, Austrian
and Hungarian machinists. Seventy
two men responded, but only six wer
able to --show they were capable o
doing the work. Four of Weber
foremen examined the applicants.
The strikers said this forenoon that
three more of their number had gone
back to work. but that no new out
siders had come in. About fifteen
stril1ebreakers who went to work last
week returned this morning from Ho-
boken, the same number as last Sat

all grades at work this morning.

posed Penalty on Nor
ris Celb.

Morris Gelb, a Justice of the peace
of $50 Market street, was fined $40
by Judge Mancusi- Ungaro in the
Third Precinct Court today on a
charge of lettering. Gelb had an al
tercation with Patrolman Peter King,
of the Third precinct, in front of his
office last Thursday night, and was
placed under arrest by the patrolman.
Although the case was postponed
Saturday at Gelb's request, so that
he might have an opportunity of pro-
curing witnesses, the peace justice
failed to produce any witnesses in
court today. He stated that the pey-
sons he had counted upon to testify
in his behalf refused to come to court

Nowakoski was on hand to represent
the State, but Judge Mancusi- Ungaro
who had heard Kings testimony and
that of his witnesses twice previously
said that it would be unnecessary to
hear their stories again.

King alleged that Gelb had used
abusive language to him and had de-
fled the patrolman to place him under
arrest. Gelb denied that he had used
profanity, as was charged by the Of
ficer
Anthony Alexanderowitch, who is
said to have been aiding Gelb in
making the arrest at the time that
the trouble started between King and
Gelb, will be called upon to make
some explanation of his actions in
the Third Precinct Court Friday
morning.
Alexanderowitch was formerly a
special officer, but his badge was re-
voked about two months ago by the
police board. This action was taken
as result of charges that Alexan-
derowitch had handcuffed and used
Unnecessary force in arresting a wo-
man for petty offense. According
to Patrolman King, Alexanderowitch
was welding a blackjack while plac-
ing the prisoner under arrest Thurs
day night Alexanderowitch stated in
the court room this morning that al
though he had been stripped of his
special officers badge by the police
board he had secured a state detec-
tive's badge. He obtained the badge,
he said, from the National Detective
Agency with offices at 3 Clinton
street. He paid $25 for the badge, he
asserted.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Nowakos,
XII, Judge Mancusi- Ungaro ordered an
investigation of his story. 1t is said
that the former special officer is un-
der twenty-one years of age, and he
will be asked to produce his birth
certificate at the hearing Friday.

According TO the latest weekly bull
letin of the Board of Health ffteen
babies under 4 year of age died of
"diarrhoeal diseases" in the week
ending Saturday, August Il, During
the same period ton of these little
ones died from diseases of early in
fancy and one, baby of a year,
succumbed to tuberculous menin-
gifts
These diseases may be caused, and
very Y-frequentlN are, by bad milk. 1t
Is pretty generally conceded indeed.
that such milk Is one of the most
fruitful sources of such ailments
among very young children. There
are no data at hand indicating just
how many of the deaths here chron-
icled were so caused, but there is no
escaping the inference that some of
them were.
The week here considered saw the
death of twenty-eight babies under
year old in all IT is a veCy simple
operation in arithmetic to ascertain.
therefore, that about ninety per cent.
of this death was from maladies
that are very frequently caused by
bad milk.
In connection with the foregoing, it
Is to be noted that the vast majority
of the infants who die succumb in
the quarters of the city where only
dip milk" is sold. These are the
poorer quarters, to be sure, where
ignorance of child hygiene is general
and the environment necessary to
health Is very unfavorable. Were the
milk of the very best and other con-
ditions as they are. infant mortality
would still be very large in these sec
tions.
At the same time. this dip milk"
known to be dangerous to health,
cannot but be a very important con-
tributing factor to the horrible baby
death rate here and elsewhere.
These are some of the consdera-
tions that have impelled The Evening

THE DEATH THAT MAY BE DUE
TO DIRT POISON nv MILK

Star to establish few milk stations
in the crowded sections. The sole
purpose of these stations is to supply
the very best grade of milk TO poor
people at the same price they are now
paying for dip milk" and to give
1t to such as are unable to pay.
In other words, ii is hoped to save
the babies who would otherwise be
killed by bad milk.
How many such there are, the
wisest is unable to say. We only
know. thst ibis milk does kill at
times ant .tHat the vast majority If
children OF the twenty-five infants
who died from complaints that arc
often traceable to this cause in the
week ending August I, beyond all
question some would have lived had
they been provided with such milk
as is dispensed at the Evening Star
milk stations.
But suppose only one died from
bad milk What if it had been your
baby?
If these stations are the means of
saving but single life during the
entire summer, all the labor, time
and money they have cost will be
repaid a thousand fold.
1t Is a good work. this work of
saving the babies and their parents
from the poison and death that lurk
in the big milk-can. It should be
carried to every section of the city
and continue until dip milk has
been banished from Newark, as it
has been banished from other pro-
gressive municipalities.
TO this work Evening Star readers
are earnestly requested to contribute
as literally as its Importance indi-
Gates or their humane instincts die

be gadly received and acknowledged,
and every penny will be set to work
