Review of Notable Facts


 Henry Clews in his Saturday rs. view says in part:
 Extraordinary events are taking place almost daily which attract com paratively little attention. Evidently We are rapidly becoming accustomed to the abnormal and no longer shiver at every new disturbance or novel movement. Only a few days ago the most remarkable government loan in history was placed in this market and $sb0,000,000 out of the 3490.000,00O due pas paid the first day without excit- ing ripple in financial circles. Since the beginning of the current year we have imported about $500. 900. 900 of geld, and much more Is coming. Our merchandise exports again broke the record last week, amounting to over s73,OO0. .0oO. or $44.o00,O0O in excess of imports for the same period. Russia negotiated a war contract for $6O.00O,- 900 ard Italy offered $25.000,00O of notes for war purposes. A new Amer ican preparedness policy, costing fully $500. 900. 900. was announced from Washington without evoking any spe- cial interest That such movements and ideas as these can come and go with out disturbing our serenity is ample proof of economic strength and sound mental equilibrium Today the whole business world is depending upon America for both supplies and credit. and these we are giving without stint. yet amply within the lines of safety.

 Thieves. - TEAR OUT PLUMBING
 AND GAS FIXTURES Same Methods Pursued As In Recent Looting of His
 toric Hudson Home.

NIarauders-pr probably the same per sons who recently footed the unten- anted historic Hudson home in Strat- ford-have stripped the Cassier man sion, also lnoccupied, at the northern boundary of pictuHesque Reardsley park.
 Appeal of the Trumbun authorities to the Bridgeport police department, today, to help locate the culpritS, brought the crime to light. It was discovered, on Sunday, when William F. Frazier, brother-in-law of the late owner, visited the premises.
 He discovered, before entering the house, traces of the presence of a horse and wagon, unusual because there is no occasion for vehicles about the, unoccupied residence. On enter ing the home he found the interior ir great confusion.
 Lead pipe had been torn from the bath room, kitchen and cellar, and the gas fixtures had been torn from walls the fixtures. Damage far beyond thai Of actual value of the stolen fixtures was wrought by the ruthless manner of their being disnantIed.
 Search of the house revealed small quantity of lead pipe, assembled as il ready to be carried away. But mosi of the stuff had been taken off. Fra. zier notified the TrumbuI authorities who sought clues, but finding none O lconsequence. they appealed today t. the Bridgeport police to hunt for ths stuff among the junk shops

TENSION MANIFEST AS CAPITAL
 AWAITS TEXT OF GERMAN REPL r

Washington, July 9-Dehve0y Of Germanyis reply to the American note on submarine warfare to Ambassador Gerard in Berlin last night should bring the official text to the State de- partment here probably tomorrow and undoubtedly by Sunday.
 President Wilson is expected to re- turn from the summer White House at Cornish, N. H., to law the reply be- fore the cabinet at a meeting Tuesday All officials heses realize that there probably has been no essential change outlined by the Berlin foreign office to Ambassador Gerard. On the basis Of that outline the American government declined to engage in any supplement- ary negotiations because the German proposals were regarded as such as the United States could not accept without sacrificing many of it's rights
 Meanwhile there is renewal of the tension of what the next step will be if the text of the German reply bears out the unoff1ciaIs outlines which indd- cated that it would be unsatisfactory to the United States.
 Although officials would not com ment, saying that the phFaseology hrst must be studied, the general under tone in official quarters was one of dis appointnent and it was evident that another critical stage in the relations between Germany and the United States was at hand.
 One course, which some well in, formed officials considered probable, would be to reject the German pro posals and notify the Berlin govern ment, in effect, that the United States intended to insist on the principle Of visit and search for all unarued yes sels of any nationality carrying Amer jeans and that a specific violation Of those rights would determine the next step in the American policy.
 Failure by Germany to admit Iia.bil- ity for the loss of more than 100 Amer ican lives by the sinking of the Lust tania is 8 phase Of the situation On which there is, today no new light Some of the Presidents advisers have repeatedly counsel1e(T that the breach of international law was so dagranc that it remained only for the United States to have no diplomatic inter course with the German government unless the intent of the act was denied and reparation was promised.
 The negotiations over the conduct of the German submarines have over shadowed the Lusftania case itself but there were indications today that the new German note would cause a re- turn to the Lusitsnia case as a fore most issue

MANY SALOON
 LICENSES MAY
 BE WITHDRAWN
Fate of Liquor Dispensaries Hangs in Balance Through
 Judges Ruling.

PropriefoTs of restaurants and sa- looms in the center of the city are within the prohibited distance of churches or public buildings are very much afraid they will not be able to get renewals of liquor licenses if re- monstrances are filed. This fear is due to Judge Shunnway's decision in the case of Christian Rist of ofzSouthport who was unable to get renewal be- cause his place was too near the Wakeman Memorial home.
 A prominent wholesale liquor deal CT pointed out this morning that there are about 75 licenses in this city which are within the prescribed dis tance of buildings mentioned in the statute. Under Judge Shumway's in depreciation of the law if there is a remonstrance against such a license the commissioners are bound to re- fuse a. renewal The law has former ly been interpreted to mean that a license already located near a. church or public building could not be dis turbed but no new license could be granted. Judge Shumway ruled that this law applied to renewals as we'll as new licenses.
 Amony the places that may meet with opposition are Freyler's at IFS Fairfield avenue and Carrs at Broad and Cannon streets. Freyler's is with in a short distance of the First M. D. church and Carr's adjoins Trinity Episcopal church in the rear. There was a, remonstrance by Trinity church against Carr over aS year ago but ii was withdrawn when Carr agreed to close the side entrance.
 The Hotel Atlas is too near the Uni- versalist church in Fairfield avenue and Bu11en's is too c1ostS to the Noren Congregational church property in Bank street to escape if a remon- stranee were made. Borg's saloon in Bank street might also come within the limit There might also be some difficulty about the wholesale license to R. T. Whiting, whose store is in the Public Library building.~t
 There are many other cases in oth- 1 CT sections of the city and with suct wholesale reductions in licenses pos sfb1e, the brewers and smaller dealers I are watching the appeal taken to the supreme court in the Rist case. The supreme court probably will not hand down a decision until next November

MIN NNEHAHA
 WINS RACE FOR SAFETY
Ocean Liner, Fired By Elk plosion in Hold, Arrives in Halifax Harbor After Record Run-Fire Under Control, Captain. Says.
Inquiry at Once to Deter mine If Explosion Was Caused By Bomb Set By Morgan's Assilant- Fire Fighters Meet Ship.

Halifax, July 9-The Atlantic Transport liner Minnehaha, which caught fire Wednesday on her way from New York to London, with 15,- 900 tons of war munitionse on board, after an explosion which may have been caused by an internal machine sent aboard by Frank Holt, J. P. Mor- gan's aSsailant, steamed slowly through mist and driEzling rain into Halifax harbor early today.
 Early wireless advices from Captain Claret indicated that the flames had been mastered during the night; that the blaze had been all but exbin guish- ed. and that all danger was passed. The flames were confined to No. 8 hold. which is a. considerable dis tance from the spot where were stor- ed the thousands of cases of cor dite loaded ahrapneI shells, cart ridges. oils and other explosive and in dammable material which the Mime halaa was conveying to England for use of the British army.
 So far as could be learned from ma Srine officials none of the more dan- gerous part Of the steamers cargo had been touched by the names
 Great care was exercised In the ar engagements made to receive the Min neha1ha, on account of the latent dan ger to other shipping in the harbor from her thigh explosives aboard so long as any yistage of fire remained l in her cargo. It was arranged for her to tie up at quarantine where a fire fighting force had been collect 1 ed over night Until the fire was completely extinguished she was not to be permitted to proceed to the landing pier; possibly not even then
 Great quantities of war munitions were aboard the Minneha.ha, as will l Continued on Page 2.

 In reply to further, questions Thaw said he did not remember just what he did all the day of the murder but he did remember that he visited a number of offices. He had a revolver with him that day, having been in formed, he said, that Monk East man, New York gang leader, was after him. He did not believe the re- port but thought he should be pre- pared to protect himself.

 Just before he shot White, the lat ter moved his hand toward his pocket, Thaw asserted.
