DISAVOWAL AND PREPARATION IN
 BERLIN POLICY
Arabic Incident to Be Set tied and Then Lusitania
 Case Taken Up.

Washington, Sept. 2-with both oral and written assurances from the Ger man government transmitted through Count VonS Bernstorff. the German ambassador, to the state departm ent regarding Germany's submarine pol icy, officials of the Washington gov ernment today looked hopefully for ward for ultimate and satisfactory settlement of the whole submarine problem.
 Assurance is given that the liners will not be sunk by German subnar- ines without warning and without re- gard for the safety of the lives of non-combatants, provided the liners do not try to escape or offer resis- tance.
 Germany's next communication, it was said authoritatively, will be for nal disavowa1 of the sinking of the Arabic and reparation will be made if the attack was made by a German su bmarine.
 With the situation growing out of the Arabic incident out of the way, Germany's reply to the last American note on the Lusitania will be forth coming. If that is satisfa ctory to the United States it is believed that the Washington government will then turn it's attention to the problem of neutral commerce. A note to Great Britain already is in course of prep aration. The two issues, however, are being kept entirely distinct, Pres ident Wilson having consistently re- fused to allow the question of neutral commerce to be involved along with the submarine problem.

DARDANEILES REPORT
 CHEERING TO BRITISH

sIondon. Sept 2-The British pub lie has been greatly cheered by the version of the recent heavy fighting at the Dardanelles contained in the omcial report received last night from General Sir Ian Hamilton the British commander in chief This report had been awaited eagerly in view of as- sertionsf of Constantfnop1e that the allies had been repulsed with heavy losses
 sir Ian claims that his forces ope- rating on the northern section of the line cssptured an important tarAical point Commanding the Buvuk Ana farta. Fal1ey to the east and north as well as making an appreciable gain along the Australian front
 If the British Co1onials now donin- ate that far their guns should have main Turkish supply roads leading toward Acti Baba- The Turks, how ever, have an alternative line of com rnunication with this part of their front Constantinople has admitted no advance on the part of the allies
 The Russians are developing unex- pected strength in the north where, they state, they are now holding Field Marshal Won Hindenburg but have gained a local success near Vilna- Va rious changes have been made in the Russian command, the most impor- tant being the returning of General Ruseky to tI1e leadership of the army;
 Berlin wireless reports, which usu- ally are a day or two in advance of the Perograd official communities tions, announce a reversal in the Ga lician situation as the result of a vic torious assault on the Russians north of Zbrow.
 The English press is keenly inter ested in the German promises of a change of tactics in submarine war fare, and attaches considerable sig 1nificance to the news that Admiral Von turpetz is to have a vacation. This is interpreted as indicating that the chancellor Von Bethmann-Hol1- veg has won a definite victory over his naval colleague in the German cabinet

Neg developments m the King case today were:
 @ King is charged by the presi- dent of the San Bias Company, a Cuban investment company, with having absconded with the entire capital of the company, between $6,O0O and $1o,O00. Gray, his law partner. says this is not so, that most of the funds were used in Kings various missions to the, tropics in the interests of the com pany, as well as in advertising and office expenses.
 s~ King has implicated as his bondsman, B. W. s. Pickett, for ner postmaster of Fairfield, in the manipulation of a minors bank account, which he as guard ian controlled.
 Mrs. Adeline /JNavis. of 388 Main street, who by dint of year of effort had accumulated $5,OOO, is left penni1ess through Kings defalcations. Part of this money is represented in the San Bias venture and part in worthless mortgages.
 John P. Gray, assistant clerk of the city court, who owes his ap-

pointment, in 9 large measure. to the efforts of King in tlass 3esisfas- ture. charges him with having nnisappropriated $16O. which Gray gave him at the rate of $40 2 month for the rental of their suite of offices.
 Constable Hezekiah E1wood o1 of Fairfield, who was an intimate associate of King, and who is one of his dupes, says that usureE were responsible. in a large meas ure, for Kings downfall. He cites a specific instance of Kings bor- rowing $4.OO0 for a short term. for which he paid $5.0OO.
 Mystery surrounds the disposi- ton King made of his money He lived quietly, in a modest home in Fairfield, and was man of mod crate tastes. There is much speculation as to what has be- come of the fortune that is rep resented in the many claims that are appearing against him.
 Gray, who says he signed many papers for King not knowing their contents, said today he

Suspicion was arous- ed when the occupants Of the house atternpte to collect insurance on fuf- niture.

 The train which was wrecked at Maromas was an accommodation from Saybrook Junction to Hartford, over the Valley Division carrying per sons who had spent the day, Sunday, at shore resorts. It was due at Mid d1etoWn at 8:04 D. It was 1 5 min utes late. At Maromas, there was a steep bank close to the Connecticut river. The engine left the rails and plunged into a pile of sand on the op- posite side from the river. The first car remained upright, on the other side and was kept from going into the river by clump of trees. The second car turned over. Abram Fl Brown, of Hartford, was injured so that he died later. Sixty persons in all were injured.
 The engineer, R. A. Mather, had a hip and had to be chopped out of the cab. The fireman, Erwin Sullivan, crawled out with bruises. In spection of the track showed that spikes had been pulled and ash-p1ates removed. A section crew had worked on the track some time before, but the railroad officials claimed that the con- dition of the track was due to malice.

 In court he was charged with breach of the peace and obstructing an off, cer, but sentence was suspended on the latter count. Attorney J. c. Guilfoil, his counsel, gave notice of an appeal and secured bonds of $500 for his client.

Land extending from Boston ave nue northerly along Success avenue to the powder magazine grounds pre- viously owned by the company has re- gently been acquired in strips of ap- proximateIy 500 feet in width which with hardly a, break forms a continu- ous line from the East End freight wards to and including a large area on Success hill
 Agents interested in the purchases have intimated that the policy of the Remington Company will be to drain that swamp section which has form er1y been included in the old Lewis farm, fill in sections and build resi- dences for employees of the company throughout that locality.
 It is probable that with a sufficient width of property the company may also construct tracks from the East End freight yards to or \near the magazines and thence to the big fac tories on Bond street, which will per init the easy handling of company employees in trolley cars or the nov ing of freight through means of cleo tric motors.
