Robbins and eight other defendants
charged, with directors of the New York,
New Haven & Hartfors1 railroad Co..
with conspiracy to monopolize the trans
portation traffic of New England. pro-
creased today to the point where II ten
tative jurors were in the box when ad-
journment was taken until tomorrow.
To Complete Jury Today
Twice during the later afternoon SEES
sion the jury box had been similarly fill
ed, but counsel for the government and
the defence each exercised peremptory
challenge. necessitating the examination
each time of another talesman. Each
side has II more peremptory challenges
an the indications tonight were that 9TH
ers of the talesmen temporarily accept.
ed would not remain permanently in the
box. Counsel hoped, however, to com.
plete the final selection before the close
Of tomorrows session. The IL who sur
vived today were: .et
Daniel M. Flanagan. aretired dry goods
merchant; Max Hartman, a commission
merchant; Albert B. Weldon. . dealer ir
glass; Charles H. Gleason. jewel broker

real estate operator; Peter Wagner,
builder; James Pegnam, former port
warden of this city; William M. Accles.
meat dealer; Andrew Z. Grace. an en-
ployee of the New York Edison Co.
The examination today developed a
number of interesting reasons why tales
men were not acceptable for service. One
said he had observed the effects Of en-
forcement of the Sherman law on bust
ness interests and thought it had been
.'overworked." For this reason he did
not believe he could give fair and i'm
partial verdict.
One said his family was socially, &C
quainted with the family of William
rockefeller and that hi would not want
to take action that nal kht result in Mr..
Rockefellers going to III.

Transportation Means

There is naturally much speculation
as to how Italian and Russian assist
ance will be afforded. Italy has a large
number of troops available and the
means of moving them to the desired
spot, but Russia is handicapped in this
respect and there is an inclination
here TO believe report from Rome
that Petrograd has asked Rumania to
allow Russian troops to pass through
her territory on the way to Bulgaria.
Rumania's Dansr
To grant such a request would be
construed by Germany as tantamount
to definite alliance with the Entente
and would doubtless result in Austro-
German troops attacking Rumania.
This, il is thought, might happen any
way, as Germany has already shown
her displeasure at Rumania's refusal

Germany has suspended the postal SER

Diplomatic Objects

II propose to confine myself" the
British foreign secretary said. ito a
resume Of our diplomatic objects since
the war. At the outset we desired that
the war should not spread and in
common with our allies we assured
Turkey that If she remained neutral
Turkey and Turkeys territory should
not suffer. This situation was COM
pletely changed by the entrance of
Turkey into the war and all obliga-
tons on the part of the Allies then
ceased.
Balkan Divisions
I'VE and our allies then concentrat-
ed upon securing an agreement among
the Balkan states and we used all our
influence to secure an accord. Unfor-
tunately the feeling in the Balkans is
not one of union, but of division. 1t
was clear nothing but a decisive, pre-
ponderating advantage for the Allies
would have enabled US to secure a
policy of union.
Teutons' Big Offer
I'VE were given to understand in
the course of the negotiations that,
except with regard to Thrace, the Gen.
trail Powers had offered to Bulgaria
more to secure her neutrality than the
Allies could in fairness offer. The
promises which induced Bulgaria to
trail Powers at the expense Of her
neighbors and without any correspond
ing advantage to them.
I'VE have remained throughout on
friendly relations with Rumania, who
has favored the policy Of Balkan
union"
1T is the policy Of bringing about
a Balkan war that the sovereigns and
governments Of Germany, Austria
Hungary and Bulgaria have succeeded
in carrying into effect. We were given
to understand that in order to secure
a Balkan Union there were certain
especially in Thrace and Macedonia.
THE Allies were ready to do all ID
their power to secure these for Bull
garia. but to obtain the consent of
Serbia and Greece it was an essential
preliminary that Bulgaria take sides
with the allies against Turkey. In
other words. II Bulgaria was to real
ize her hopes and aspirations. she
must cooperate In a common cause in
which the hopes and aspirations Of
other neighboring states were en-
gagged.
1T will be enough to say that these
reasonable hopes and aspirations were,
IN the main, founded upon opportu-
nifty to peoples Of the same race. the
Same sentiments and the same relig-
ION to Join themselves to state un-
der q government most akin to Them"
Premier Asquith in the House Of
Commons declined to grant a delay
for debate on Sir Edward Grey's state
ment on the Ballin situation.
During the discussion viscount MIL.
ner suggested the withdrawal Of the
troops from Gallipoh and their trans
fer to some other theater Of the war.
Lord Lansdowne. in reply, said It
was impossible for any member Of the
government to give an undertaking
that the troops would continue in the
Dardanelles operations or would be
withdrawn from them. It would be
unpatriotic and improper. he said. to

Inability to come to an agreement
on a financial arrangement is the
cause for the abandonment Of the trip.

National Commission and william

terests, held in Boston Tuesday. it was
agreed that the teams should make
the trip. At the time it was expected
there would be no hitch over finances
and Nc. McRoy was appointed to rep
resent the National Commission on

The Trip Called of
Today at a meeting Of the Philly
players at which they were given their
share of the worlds series money all
consented to join the party with the
exception Of Pitcher Chalmers and
Outfielder Whitfield. who had other
plans. Mr.. Mercy then called up Pres
ident Lannin of the Boston Ameri-
cans on the telephone and was inform
ed by the Red Sox president that the
worlds champions decided not to
make the trip unless they were given
a guarantee and expenses. AS the Ma
tional Commission representative could
not give this, he called the trip off, to
the great disappointment Of the Phila-
delphia players.
Share Of Series
The Philadelphia players share Of
the worlds series money was divided
into "a parts and each Of the 20 men
eligible to participate was given a
check for $2492.23. The gath share was

Three Arrested in Bridgeport for
 Defying Mayors Order

Bridgeport, Aug. 6.-Frank J. Bowen, business agent of the Machin- ists' union; Louis J. Nelson, who has been labor speaker inrvarious cities, and Frederick Cederholm, former alderman of Bridgeport and who is identified with labor union circles here, were charged in the city court today with breach of the peace in dis obeying an order of Mayor Clifford B. Wilson not to address a labor gather ing in the open air near one of the large factories, yesterday noon. After the taking of testimony and arguments of counsel for the men, Judge F. M. Wilder reserved decision until tomor- row. Hugh Levery, who defended the three men, claimed that the mayor ex- ceeded his authority in seeking to pre- vent free speech, that they had the right to address gathering on private property, and that there was no war rant in law for their arrest
 The evidence offered by the police was to the effect that Mayor Wilson had given specific orders that the men should not be permitted to discuss labor matters, and that while the men did not offer resistance to arrest they UIu COllIIllL d pICdCIl OA tAAS pScSC Dy shouting to those about them while being taken in an automobile to the station house, principally urging the crowd to fight for the eight hour day.

Few War Stocks, However, Reg.

New York, Aug. 6, Wall St, 10:3o A. M.-Although few of the war stocks made further gains in the early trading today the market as a whole was irregular and the edge seemed to have taken off the rise. Bethlc- hem Steel jumped seven points to sos, a point above its previous high. Other high recoveries were made by Gen. eral Motors, which rose five points to 197, and Willys- Overland up two .o Al. A few other industrials rose about point each, but as a general thing price changes were slight. Steel sold at 72 1-2, on a level with yes- terday's high record, and reacted point Allis Chalmers, Studebaker and Continental Can were heavy. Rail- roads were unusually quiet.

Every year at this time it is our custom to hold a big sale, affording our friends a clean saving on every thing in our line. This is simply a straight business proposition on our part; it is to our advantage to reduce stock in August And we can better afford to sell now at cost prices than carry goods over to another season.
 1 This year unusually good buying opportunities are offered as owing to a late Spring Season, the early sales were not so large as ordinarily, and for that reason our lines of styles, models and sizes are as complete as they would usually be in June.
