REGULATE BUSES
AS UTILITIES
Commerce Body Favors Civ
ing Them Fair Trial With
out Requiring Bonds.
WILL HOLD A BARBECUE
Senator Butler Pleads for Merchant
Marine. Saying Method of Getting
/, Is Inconsequential.

Resolved, That the Chamber of
Commerce is in favor of jitney buses
being regulated as public utilities are
regulated"
This resolution was adopted by the
Chamber of Commerce last night with
but one dissenting vote The resolu-
ton means, it was explained by for
mer Senator Marion Butler. author of
the motion, that the chamber wants
to see jitneys given a fair chance in
the National Capital
Let's come out like men and say
we want to try the jitney experiment
or say that we do not" said Senator
Butler in offering the resolution. His
resolution was substitute for a res
olution offered as a report by the
committee on transportation, of which
John L. Newbold is chairman. This
recommended that jtneys be regu-
lated and that jitney owners be re-
quired to give bond.
Bond Would Prevent Fair Trial.
Discussion ON this resolution lasted two
hours. The resolution was defeated ap-
parently by Senator Buffers declaration
that the requirement of bond from jitney
operators would prevent jitneys getting
a fair trial here. Senator Butler said
that after the jitneys are being operated
and their faults disclosed emergency
measures may be adopted to eliminate
those faults.
The chamber voted to take a one-day
trip to Marshall Hall and enjoy a bar
becue instead of longer trip to New
York or Old Point Comfort for its an
nual outing. A committee which invcsti-
gated theN outing question reported that
more members would get together for the
barbecue. 1t will be given next month.
Senator Butler made a plea for the
cha mber to take the stand that the
United States needs a merchant ma rine.
and that the method by which this is
obtained is Of little consequence in COM
parison to its need. Politicians have
been battling for fifty years about the
method of getting merchant marine"
said Senator Butler. land still we haven't
got it,
Business Conditions Good.
The merchant marine question was in
jectcd in communication from the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. which is taking referendum vote
among chambers and trade bodies all
over the country on the problem. The
merchant marine question WAS referred to
a special committee. with Senator Butler
as chairman and members to be appointed
by President Moran.
President Moran announced he had re-
ceived replies from chambers Of COM
merce in eight cities concerning business
conditions. Birmingham, Ala: PhiladeI-
phia. Sacramento. and Dallas reported
conditions as good or better than at this
time last year. Chicago reported that
there are prospects of excellent business
in the fall. Cleveland reported that op- |
timism among business men has grown |
since January. New York does not look |
for return OF normal conditions until
the war ends. Portland said business is |
on a return to normal

New York, May 11.-Mrs. Florence
Carman, who was acquitted recently OF
having murdered Mrs. Lulu Bailey,
when the jury at the second trial, after
having been out only one hour and if
teen minutes, set her free on the first
ballot, said today that, though she had
been made to suffer much, she har-
bored no resentment against anyone
therefor.
Il knew they just couldn't convict
me, " she said. Il am so happy that I
don't know what to do. I have no hard
feelings toward anybody"
Mrs. Carman was twice tried for the
mysterious and still unsolved murder
Of Mrs. Lulu Bailey. who was shot and
killed by a person who broke the win
dow in DR.. Carman's office, where Mrs.
Bailey went for treatment. and fired
the fatal shot. Suspicion was first d.
rected toward Mrs. Carman when 1t
was found that she. through jealousy of
him. had installed a dictaphone in his
office so that she might overhear all
that was there said.

GERMAN ARRESTED FOR
USING FORGED PASSPORT.
Apprehended BY British Authorities
/ Admits It is Not Genuine.

London. July 20. 5.25 p. NIT was
learned on high authority here today
that the British authorities have ar
rested q German. subject who had in
his possession forged American pass
port which the arrested man admits is
not genuine The forged document
has been compared with the original
passport which was issued to a bona
ffda American citizen. The real pass;
port which was sent to London by the
state; department at Washington shows
that Sthe forgery is a. dangerous imita-
zion.
Theaa arrested, man Is understood to
have. declared that the false passport
was given to him in Antwerp by
Captain Schneider, German secret
officer. The American state depart
ment Is said to have taken up the
question with the German government
and the imitation is so clever that it
constitutes asdanger to Americans
abroad.
The reaI4passport on which the
bogus one Is based was issued to an
american business man who reached
Germany March "a and left that coun-
try April 9Th. This man was at his
home with his passport when the hold
er Of the false document was arrested
In England. The American embassy
today declined to deny any of the
statements made with regard to the
forged passport The officials there
declined to discuss the case which
now is in the hands Of the state de-
partment at Washington.

washington. July 29.-The state de-
partment today received from Berlin
confidential advaces from Ambassador
lGerard relative to the reception or the
--latest. American note. While no tnfor-
fmation on these advices was obtain
able today, belief exists in official cir
cles that Germany viii not hasten to
reply to the note. if. in fact. she replles
| at all According to German sources
there, the disposition in Berlin will be
| to weigh the American note in COM
fparison with the negotiations which
are about to begin with Great Britain.
| It Is maintained in these sources here
that if the United States deals with
Great Britain as vigorously and point
! edly as 1t has with Germany, much OF
the anti-American feeling in Germany
the United States il now on trial In
German public opinion as to the con-
sistency of its neutrality, and that the
outcome of the negotiations with Eng
land will go far toward fixing the
American position in the whole war.
Diplomatic Battle Expected.
6 While there is optimism here over
the outlook for the negotiations with
the allies, no well informed official ex-
kpects results to be achieved without
hard fought diplomatic battle, in which
the policy pursued by this government
in the Civil war.win be the main issue.
It Is pointed out, however, that so far
as the blockade of neutral ports is
concerned, the records of this govern
ment has been fairly consistent against
this policy, and the question of the
efficiency as well as the legality of the
present blockade Of Germany is likely
to come squarely to the forefront early
in the negotiations.

HUNGARIAN SOLDIERS TOOK
 REFUGE BEHIND FROZEN BODIES
Defending the krn Position on Plateau
 6,7oo Feet Above the Sea.

Berlin, Dec 19 (by wireless to Say viile).-Describing the defense by Hun garian soldiers of difficult positions on krn plateau. in the Isonzo region, 6,70O feet above the level of the sea- the correspondent of the Overseas News agency, who reached the scene after the receipt of a congratulatory tele gram sent by Emperor William to the Kaischau regiment, says:
 The Hungarians, with no sand bags at their disposal, at first took shelter behind frozen corpses. The whole pla- teau was covered with dead Italians, it being impossible to bury the bodies, as the Italians kept up a continuous artillery fire. The wounded soldiers perished and it was impossible to as sist them.
 "The Hungarians have been defend ing the Krn position for 200 days, in
 which time 1sO attacks were repulsed
 without the Italians gaining the least success.
 A special road IS miles in length was constructed so that provisions and ammunition could regularly arrive ] The Austro- -Hungarians' positions are i provided with stoves and are comfort ! able"

 City Needs More Houses.
 Like a number of other places in this section of Windham county which has experienced during the year now closing an industrial boom that prom ises to mark the beginning of an era of unprecedented growth in this corner of Connecticut, Putnam needs more houses that the constantly increasing demand for them may be met. It has been mighty hard for months for home hunters to find suitable rents, and the condition is going to be worse before it is better unless new houses are built. Manufacturing concerns here have already announced that they are to increase the size of their plants in the spring, and that means more op- eratives. The story is now frequently circulated that some advantage is be- ing taken by some property holders to raise rents on tenants because of the unusual demand for houses and the willingness of some of those who want rents badly to pay more for them than present occupants.
