MODEL HOMES FOR
 TO|LfRS OF CITY Mayor QuIgIey Promises Invasion of New York Capitalists.

That New York capitalists are pre- pairing to invade New Britain for the purpose of erecting model homes for the workingmen and relieving the tenement house conditions was among othe statements made by Mayor Quigley in addressing the bartenders of the city at the fourteenth anniver- sary of their union which was cele- brated with big banquet in Hanna's hall yesterday afternoon. His Honor declared that as a result of his recent mysterious trips from the city Gotham capitalists are planning to invest from $20O,00O to s300,000 in the building business in New Britain in the near future, and that there are bright pros poets for bringing about betterment of the living conditions of local toilers.
 The mayor offered no further in- formation as to what will be done but he expressed himself as being thor oughly satisfied with the development of the plans that have been formu- lated. The speaker was inclined to criticise the manufacturers for not paying more attention to the home conditions of their employees and he urged his auditors to help in solving the tenement house problem. He also placed his stamp of approval on organized labor and lauded the unions for the excellent work they are doing for the benefit of the commu nifty as well as for their own mem- bers.
 The banquet was the most success full in the history of the organization and was enjoyed by over one hun dred and fifty people, including pro- minent union leaders in the state and visitors representing many crafts in terested in labor organizations. An excellent menu was provided by Hiding Nelson, the caterer. Lynch's orchestra furnished the music and several local entertainers contributed with vocal selections.
 Among the prominent visitors was John w. Holmes of Meriden, an ap- pointee of ex-Congressman Riley as doorkeeper in the national capitol. MT. Holmes is an eX-president of the local of the Silver City and is one of the few life members of the union in the country.
 The miXologsts did themselves proud at the celebration and their committee of arrangements was highly complimented on the success of the affair.
 r. Fl. Corbett made an excellent toastmaster. Our Flag" his poetical contribution, was one of the features of the entertainment.
 Those who took part in the post prandial exercises were Alderman NJ. T. Kerwin. president of the local: J. Stremlau. state president of the Fed eration Of Labor; T. J. Durnin of Hol- yoke, international organizer; John w. Boyle of Hartford, first president of the New Britain organization; Timo- thy Sullivan, also of Hartford, former president of the bartenders' international; James F. O'Brien. To- cal secretary and President Eastman of the Middletown union.
 Vocal solos were contributed by Irving Sands. Hugh Conroy, John Kilduff. Robert Andrews, r. Williams and Leo Ford.
 The committee of arrangements was as follows: P. H. COrbctt, chairman; M. T. Kerwin. James E. O'Bricn, Louis w. Fodt, William kraemer, Thomas Boyle and simon Meskil.

WILSON, S Chief AIM
IS HUMANITY FIRST
Chief Interest Naturally Centers in
Action at the White
House
By Associated Press

Washington, May 1.-THE sinking
of the steamer Lusitania and the situa-
tion resulting from the attack con-
tinued to-day to hold the undivided
attention of official Washington.
Chief interest naturally centered in
the White House where it was ex-
pected President Wilson would give
some indication to his advisers what
course the United States will pursue
in the present emergency. To-day S
Cabinet meeting is the first to be held
since the Lusitania disaster.
President Wilson returned early to-
day from Philadelphia where he ad-
dressed a gathering of naturalized
citizens last night. His speech was
being widely discussed here to-day.
While the President did not refer spe-
cifcally to the situation brought about
by the sinking of the Lusitania some
thought that he intimated that while
the United States would remain at
peace, an endeavor would be made
to show Germany from the American
viewpoint that her action was wrong.
One of his advisers said the Presi-
dents chief aim would be humanity
first, no matter how vigorous the
course adopted.
Speculation Continues
Speculation as to what will be the
policy of the United States still con-
tinued to-day. President Wilson, in
the seclusion of the White House, has
for the past three days been giving
constant attention to the matter real
izing that American people wish a
speedy determination as to what ac-
ton will be taken
Secretary Bryan and other officials
of the State Department to-day
awaited receipt of the German Gov
ernment's note expressing it's deepest
sympathy at the loss of American lives
in the Lusitania disaster. but placing

Governments plan of starving the

official advices said that the communf-
cation had been cabled to the German
embassy here. Secretary Bryan had
already received a communication
from Count Bernstorff, the German
ambassador which, he said, he re-
garded as an expression of regret from
the ambassador himself

Did Not Refer to Disaster Off Irish Coast

speeches closely pointed out that Mr..
Wilson had frequently spoken inn
plcitly rather than explicitly.
Intended to Be Broader
While his Philadelphia audience was
impressed with the belief that the
President was referring specifically to
the Lusitania tragedy. the President
indicated by his remarks to-day that
he meant his speech to be broader
than a single incident was 10 cover
the entire subject of foreign relations
i as well as the subject of domestic
solidarity with reference to the aliens
who have become naturalized in Amer
| lea.
| At the usual hour, the Cabinet be-
gan arriving for the first conference
with the President since last Friday.
Whether the President would take up
the Lusitania tragedy or wait until
he had gathered further facts was
something which none of the secre-
taries themselves seem to know.
Chairman Stone, of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, discussed
the Lusitania disaster with the Presi-
ldent before the Cabinet meeting began
and later said that he had no expecta-
tion that an extra session of Congress
would be called.
Stone Is For Peace
II am for peace with honor" said
Senator Stone. II do not know what
the President plans to do about the
Lusitania. 1t is his problem and it is
useless for others to attempt to ad-
wise him."
Senator Stone declared he favored
passage of the government ship pur-
chase bill which failed in the last Con-
gress. Such a step, he said, would
/. provide American ships to carry Amer
lean passengers and goods. He added
that he took it for granted that the
United States would find means to pro-
tect it's own ships
Senator LaFoIlette, another White
House caller to-day, opposed the sug-
gestion that diplomatic relations with
Germany be broken off. ''I am for
peace" said Senator LaFollette. IT

Queenstown. May 1.-THE body of
Albert Thompson, of Toronto, brought

hope that additional bodies may be

WAR BETWEEN ITALY
AND CENTRAL POWERS
IS NOW UNAVOIDABLE
Figures in Controversy Say There
Is but Slender Chance of
Agreement
TURKS LOSE $4,000 MEN
Victory in Several Engagements
Along Carpathians Claimed
by Russians
TURKS LOSE $4,000 MEN

War between Italy and the GEN.
trail empires is now regarded in Rome
as almost unavoidable. There is said
to be only a slender chance that an
agreement will be reached. Military
preparations are being pushed Wig
orously and political opposition to war
apparently has largely died away.
In Paris 1t is rumored Germany and
Austria have declared war on Italy,
but so far as is known there is no
basis for such reports. A Milan dis
patch gives what purports to be an
offer of territorial concessions from
Austria, described as unacceptable to
Italy inasmuch as it excludes Triest
and Istria.
Heavy fighting has been in progress
on the Galipoli peninsula during the
last few days, although accounts of
the results are in complete contradic-
ton. An official statement issued at
Constantinople says French and Brit
ish troops made four attacks near Avi
Burnu on Sunday but were driven back
with heavy losses. 1t is asserted three
battalions or about 5000 men, were
annihilated. A press dispatch from
Athens to London says that the allie
made important advances on Friday
and Saturday and that the Turkish
losses in the fighting were estimated
at $4,000 men.
Russ Claim Victories
Victory in several engagement
along the Carpathians is reported in
an official Russian statement. Dis
patches to Switzerland says the Rus
slams have begun strong offensive at
Tarnow, reported to have been cap
tured last week by the Austrians, as
we'll as in the Baltic provinces to the
north. German and Austrian accounts
of important successes in these re-
gions have not been qualified.
