MUST FACE TRIAL FOR
 CONTEMPLATING
Man Arrested Tn New Ha- ven Held On Testimony of
 Secret Service Chief

New Haven, Jan. 1S.-Philip Lieb- erfnan, also known as John Davis, charged with having in his possession plates. inks, tools and other accessor- ies with intent to counterfeit federal obligations, was held in $15,00O for trial next month in the federal court, by United States Commissioner Wright to-day. Lieberman has been in jail since his arrest on Dec. 23, hay ing been unable to, obtain $5,ono bail.
 At the hearing to-day LieDerman was represented by counsel who took up considerable time in cross-exam- ination of Chief w. J. Flynn, of the secret service, who with his opera tiyes had made a raid upon a farm house in Marlborough, arresting Lie herman and seizing an engraver's out it besides bond paper such as is used in the making of treasury and bank notes, inks, engravers' plates and gel atfne transfer sheets.
 MT. Flynn said that in conversation Lieberman had claimed that he did not Intend to make counterfeit mon ey but was in a game to try and bun GO . number of people by having them put up money under the belief that he was going to produce coun- terfeit money which they were to use. MT. Flynn said he told Lieberman that in beginning to engraye plates he had gone step too far in the game.
 MT. Flynn said he had known Lieb- erman for many years He saw him in London in 1902 where he was un- der arrest for connection with a con spiracy to float half a million dollars worth of counterfeit bank of Eng land notes. The cases of Coppe1 Gold hagen, Baruch Coldhagen and Leo po1d Krumho1z, farmers of Marlbor- ough, and Paul M. Rosegarten, of Waterbury, charged with conspiracy in the Lieberman case were contin- sued. The Goldhagens live on the farm and in the house in which Lieb- erman was found. Their~Sonds were reduced to $500 and furnished but the others were continued as before.

 From the sea to the Disc there was yesterday a violent storm, parti- cularIy in Belgium. The day saw ar tilIery fighting at certain points.

SUMMARY OF TODAY'S WAR NEWS

Flanders when the Germans at tempted to break through to the English Channel although the number of men engaged was smaller. In the suburbs of Sois- sons were hand-to-hand encoun- ters of the most desperate nature in which the French Moroccan regiments distinguished them selves, using their rifles as clubs after their bayonets had been bent or broken in the Pilesica struggle.
 London suggests that the Ger mans may follow up their victory by inaugurating another forward movement. Berlin considers that the general movement of the a1- month ago by General Joffre, has broken down.
 Late reports from Petrograd emphasize the completeness of the victory said to have been gained over the Turkish troops. Of the forces at Kara-Urgan, ac- cording to the Russian war office, large numbers were killed and the survivors were put to flight.
 In, Poland, the Germans have again attacked the Russians west of Warsaw, but apparently have been unable thus far to break through the line of defense. In northern Poland 5-the Russians continue to advance toward the Prussian border.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-01-18

Today's official Berlin statement says that the Germans, attacking with bayonets, drove the allies from positions northeast of Albert. In the Soissons region there is lit tie activity. Several French trench es in the ATgonne are said to have been captured.
 The official statement from Paris disputes the German claim of vic tories in the Argonne, saying that the attacks were repulsed. Several minor victories for the allies are reported, mostly in artillery en-. agreements.
 The official observer attached to the British aruny headquarters de- nied the recent report from St. Omer, France. that the troops have advanced one mile near La Bassee, capturing German positions.
 In East Prussia, so far as the official Communications show, there is no marked change. At Berlin, it is said that attacks from Rus sian forces in North Poland which are attempting to advance toward the west Prussian border were re- pulsed.
 Detailed descriptions of the battle along the lAisne, supple menting. the brief announcements of the French and German war offices, show that the fighting riva1led in ferocity that which occurred along the Yser canal in

London, Jan. 1a-LonIon Is reeslY- ing that this is the 41st annfversary of the proclamation of Wilhelm I aa, German Emperor, and in the British capital it is expected that the day. may bring news of a widespread. German effort to follow up with a. still more important movement the, success achieved last week in tha' neighborhood of SotBsons-
 In London it is believed that Ghe3 Germans have adopted what 1s vlrta1-l ally defensive role to tho west oel WaPsaw-sonne British Observers ar-i guing that this has been forced uponl them by superior Russian nunbers- and that these tactics synchrontzs with the movement of many thous- ands of Teutontc troops from Poland to the French and Belgian battle fields. The fighting at Soisaons commentators declare to be the pre- curor of the entry Of these new troops upon a vigorous offensive per haps an attempt to cross the river Aisne.
 At soissons the French failed to hold their positions on the northern bank of the river and for the Ger mans to attempt to gatn the south ern bank is regarded as a develop ment to be expected As to future engagements in this region it appears to be a fact that the French artiI- Iery on the hills south of the Aisne commands all the approaches to the river and that it will have to be reckoned with.
 In the eastern arena of the war the steady Russian pressure. has enabled Emperor Nicholas to exert upon the German, according to news despatch es reaching London, has been slowly pushing back the German line to the west of Warsaw.
 News despatches today report that the Russian re-occupation of Flock. This report has not been confirmed officially but the Russians on Saflsr- day crossed the Skirwas rivers a few miles below that point and they have been able to occupy the city.

NONE HURT WHEN PROBLEMS CRASH
 IN HEART OF CITY

A serious trolley accident was nar- row1y averted at 1O:3O this morning when two cars crashed head on in Fairfield avenue just west of Main street. The fact that the cars were proceeding slowly was all that pre- vented loss of life.
 A crowded Southport car had just crossed Main street and was going west when an empty car bound for the barn approached from the op- posite direction. As they neared each other, the. empty car jumped a switch and struck the platform of the Southport car. There was a crash and sound of splintered wood as the passengers stampeded from the Southport trolley into the rain-
 It developed that the Southport car was only slightly damaged and it was able to go on. The platform of the other trolley was smashed, the ves- .tibule glass broken and the fender bent. The wrecking crew put it back on the track after slight delay. No passengers were hurt but several wo- men were badly frightened.

BROTHER TO AID
 WILLIAMS, HELD IN CASE MURDER
Bride, Too, Is Working to Get Funds to Retain
 Lawyer for Him
SAY HE REFORMED
 AFTER. MARRIAGE
No Letter From Accused Since His Arrest How
 Murder Was Committed

Because he believes implicitly in the innocence of 4ds arother, Isaac N. Will Hams, held in connection with the mur- der of County Commissioner Hubert Case in Barlrhansted on November 2S, last, J. N. wiflaazns a railroad man Of ATT Broad street, of this city. left for wInsted today to have a. talk with Coroner Herman and lay before him the alibi he believes can be proved for the accused man.
 While expressing her desire to aid her imprisoned husband, Mrs. Isaac 1G Williams continued her work in 8. local dye-works, having stated that she vuiu earn sufficient money to pro- vide a lawyer for her husband.
 Besides the visit of J. N. Williams to Coroner Herman at Winsted today, letters will be written to those who claim to have seen the accused man in Poughleepsfe at the time the crime was committed, and it is believed that the state will provide means of having the writers make depositiOnS.
 When told of her husbands long crinninal record late Saturday night Mrs Isaac N. Williams said .sIt makes no difference to me. I shall stick by my husband, for I have seen that there is at least .sone good in firn. If there is but ls streak of good there-and I belfevg that much has been charged against him of which he is innocent-I propose to widen that sreak until the nuture lies brightly be- fore hdm-"
 A pathetic story Is Hoad by relatives of Isaac N WdfIla1ns in this city, who realizing that he was about to marry a girl innocent of criminal ways and unfamiliar with his past, pleaded with those who knew him best to keep the past a blank, that he might live 8 new and honorable life and be guided by the goodness of his western bride. It Is said that he strove at all times since his marriage to gain a respecta- 1ble Livelihood and that the blow of ar been felt keenly by him for no letters have been received from him since his apprehension.
 It is expected that as soon as J. N Williams recital of facts as known here and in Peughkeepsie, N. F.. is laid before Coroner Herman he will at once summon those witnesses in this state before him and order dispositions taken in Poughkeepsie, N. r., looking to establishing or disproving the al1tbi which has been claimed.
 When told that Williams arrest was glise of a laborer had worked with Arthur Pfaeff1in and alleged that Rfaefflin had confessed to him that he knew of the murder and that ft was committed by Williams and Rowe, Mrs. J. B. Williams, at her residence, ATT Broad street, today said: S"If that
 man bold such. a thing as that against an innocent man, he should be shot Though I ann but a-wea.k woman, were in my brother-in-law' place I should do it. Do you realize how con ternpfi- ble such a deed is? One only has to think how hard it is to establish ones whereabouts at a time gone by to l<now how easy it is to send an inno- cent person to the ga1lows It is lucky for Ike that Thanksgiving day fell so near to the time of the crime
