 VALDEZ TRAIL MURDERS
 MAY VET BE CLEARED UP
 FAIRBANKS. Aug. 12.-That the mystery surrounding the eight mur- ders committed on the Valdez trail near Willow Creek, eighteen months ago. will be cleared up soon, is the opinion expressed today by Special United States secret service officers who have been working on the cases for some time.
 The officers. who were baffled un- til a few days ago. when Julius Miller was arrested on charge of murder ing Mrs. Rowe at olnes, say there is little doubt they will be able to find the murderer.
 Among the officers working on the case was W. J. Mcclure, the Ameri. can detective who. with the assist ance of John PennyQuick, the Indian, several years ago solved the mystery surrounding the murder of Clayson, Relph and Olsen, on the Yukon River, for which William 0Brien was hang ed in Dawson.

 J.L: Billiard

New York. June 15-The Federal District Court today granted innnun- ity to John L. Billiard, former director of the New York. New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Company, who was in dicted with 20 other directors, past and present, for alleged criminal vio- lation of the antitrust law.
 MT. Billiard claimed immunity on the ground that he had testified be- fore the interstate commerce com mission and the federal grand jury which. in 1912, indicted Charles S. Mellen, then president of the New Haven road; President Chamberlain. of the Grand Trunk Railway company, and Chairman snithers on charges of conspiracy.
 The court denied the governments E motion that a judgment of conviction be entered against Edward D. Rob bins, 8 director and counsel of the New Haven road. because of the over ru1ing@of MT. Robbins plea in bar to the indictment. This, is was assumed, would result in MT. Robbins entering a plea to the indictment and standing trial

ARREST MOTHER FOR MURDER OF
 TWO CHILDREN Sensational Development Comes in Anthony Habeas
 Corpus Hearing. RELEASED AS CURED
 IN INSANE ASYLUM Now She is At Liberty Un- der Bail of $2,5OO Given
 By Husband.

On the charge that she drowned her two children in a, bathtub, Helen c. Anthony, wife of a wealthy Green wich contractor, was arrested this morning just after Judge Williams, in part one of the superior court had ordered her release from the State Hospital for the Insane at Middle town Mrs. Anthony was arrested on a bench warrant served by Deputy Sheriff Cunningham. She was charg- ed with mansIau ghter and placed in $2.5oo bail. which her husband fur nished.,
 Mrs. Anthony, an attractive wom- an about 30 years old, has been in the MiddIetowns institution for more than 9. year. It was N'arch 19, 1914, while suffering from depressed insan- ity, that she drowned her children, Margie, aged three, and Helen, aged nine. She said she did it because she was suffering from tuberculosis and so were the children. She thought it would relieve her husband of the expense of caring for them if they were killed.
 After her arrest in Greenwich, Mrs. Anthony was examined by three phy- sictans and pronounced insane. She was then sent to NTtddletown for three years. After the completion of the first year she was pronounced cured and her husband, William B. Anthony. brought habeas corpus proceedings. II was on this motion that Mrs. Anthony was brought before Judge Williams today.
 supt- William B. Fisher of the Middletown institution told about the woman's condition when first brought there. She suffered from deIusions that the children were starving and she herself refused to eat. She also threatened to commit suicide. Al >e1 she had been in the asylum for g time she steadily improved and Supt Fisher declared Mrs. Anthony is sane now.
 When asked if she might have an other attack of insanity. Supt- Fisher declared she probably would, although a long period might elapse. He thought that if she had another at tack it would be suicidal instead oi homocida1.
 Judge Williams did not order he1 released on the ground that she l cured but found that she had beer illegally committed.
 States Attorney Cummings said thu state desired to investigate the cast | before deciding what the futur, course of procedure will be.

NEW HAVEN ROAD CLERKS NEARING
 GENERAL STRIKE

New Haven, June 15.-No settlement of the grievances of the freight clerks on the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad has been reached through several conferences which have been held between officers of the company and those of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks with federal con- ciliators as intermediates, according to an announcement made today
 Grand Vfce-President J. J. Forester, of the Brotherhood, this afternoon, in an interview after a statement of the clerks side had been made public de- clared that a strike of clerks on the whole system seemed unavoidable.
 He added: While there is still an opening the railroad company will have to recede from it's position and at least meet the committee half way if it desires to avoid a strike''
 The clerks committee, in it's state ment, reviews it's grievances and says:
 There are .1,8oo clerks in the Broth erhood on the New Haven system and 95 per cent of them will walk out inn mediately he word given.''
 At the offices of the railroad here it was stated no statement would be is- sued by the company at this time

precinct police stations warning of ficers to arrest owners of dogs found wandering about the streets in vio- Iation of the law it is admitted in police circles that more unmuzz1ed dogs roam the streets today than when the order went into effect.
 The two new cases reported today making five now under treatmen for rabies in this city are:
 John Serrotair, aged 5, 85 Lexing- ton avenue, bitten in the right arm several days ago by yellow mongre1 cur.
 Annie Mondamong,- 112 Lexington avenue, bitten by the same animal.
 Both children were playing in the street when the dog ran among the children snapping right and left. Serrotair was bitten on the right arm while his companion was bitten on the left cheek, the dog sinking it's teeth into several spots.
 The Serrotair boy was at once taken to the office of Dr. John F. Flynn, Franklin street, and Washing ton avenue where cauterization was resorted to. Report was made to the Board of Health today.
 As Pasteur treatment costs between $110 and $125, paid by the state, and as there is little money kn hand to take care of these patients until re- inbursement is made by the state to thorities that in future the serum would be secured daily from New York, at a, total cost of $25 per pa tient and injected by the emergency hospital staff.
 It is expected that with the com ing hot weather the rabies epizootic will become a serious problem.

BLACK ROCK FOLKS OBJECT TO
 CITY SEWER PLAN
Vigorous Protests Will Be Made at Meeting of Alder
 men on Monday.

The city of Bridgeport will have to dredge part of Black Rock haFbor to remove a large sandbar before proper ty owners in Beacon street will con sent to having the proposed new liar their land. At the meeting of the vigorous pr rotest is expected to be made against the plan.
 The board of health has petitioned the council for a. sewer to relieve liar borview avenue and as a, result, City Engineer A. H. Terry has investiga:t- ed the project He reports that the sewer should run down HarborvieW avenue to Growers avenue, thence to Beacon street and to the water.
 Mrs. George. M. Penfield is the own CT of much valuable property in the neighborhood of the proposed site of the sewer. If the sewer is put through Beacon street to the water, protest that the property will be greatly depreciated in value. Just off the point where the sewer would probably jut into the water is a sand bar, and 1t is claimed. that sewage refuse and polluted water would col lect there and make the vicinity much less valued than it is now.
 The city will have to remove the sandbar, the residents will probably demand, if the sewer is to be built at the place planned. 9th erwise the pipe will have to be built far into the water, beyond the bar.
 Despite these possibI compr onises it is expected the representatives ot Mrs. Penf1eld and James Carr, an other property owner, will make muc1 protest. They will probably contend that Beacon street is not a city stree1 and has never been accepted. Or this ground it is likely, so the opin1or is, that their protest will be sustain 1 ed.
 The city's plan to put a, sewer | through there was based on the fac | that Beacon street, although never ac | cepted, is so much used that it is vir tually 8 city street.
 At the public hearing it is proba, l b1e the property owners will sug i gest that the Harborview sewer bH | connected with the Bostwick avenue 1 sewer.

LUSITANIA JJNARMED.
 CARSEN ASSERTS AT
 GOVERNNI INQUIRY

7 London, June 15.-''The Lusitania was not armed and she never was fitted out as a tpansport,'' was one of the remarks made by Sir Edward Car son, attorney-general of the new cab inet, in addressing the court this morning at the opening of the board of trade inquiry into the loss of the Cunard liner, which was sent to the bottom off the south coast of Ireland, May by a, German submarine with a loss of over HOO lives.
 Baron Mersey, president of the court, is assisted by Admiral Sir Fred erick Englef1eld and Lieut. Command CT Hearn as naval assessors, and Cap tain Davies and Captain Speeding, of the Mercantile Marine. Attorney Gen eral Carson and Frederick B. Smith represented the board today while the Cunard Line company and the pas sengers of the Lusttanfa,, including the late Alfred G. Vanderbilt, all were represented by counsel
 Public interest ins the case was ev- idenced by the large number of spec tators who crowded the court. It was noted with interest that virtually sim l1ltaneously with the opening of the investigation there was received news of the finding of two more bodies at sea near where the Lusitania sank. One was of boy about IA years old and the other of a man. Neither was identified.
 Sir Edward Carson, who opened for the board of trade, said he court ed the fullest inquiry. He was able to give complete denial to the conten- ton of the German government that the Lusitania was an armed vessel carrying guns and serving as an aux Hilary to the naval forces of Great

ELECTION IN GREECE
 MAY BRING AOTNHER
 COUNTRY INTO WAR.

London, June 15-It is apparent that the former premier of Greece, M. Venizelos, and his followers, have won an overwhelming victory in the Grecian general elections. The lat est news shows a majority of two thirds for the war party in parlia- rnent. The British press is of the opinion that this means a deliberate choice on the part of the Grecian people to cast their lot with the all les-Great Britain, Russia France and Italy.
 Reports from Paris make mention of slight progress all along the line but nothing is said of the situation north of Arras, where the Germans have rallied and recaptured some of their lost trenches.
 German official reports represent re- cent fighting on the river San, in Ga licia, as having resulted in a great victory for General Won Mackensen, who has effectively countered the Russian blow at Zurawnas on the DneiSter river.
 Italian heavy artillery has begun the bombar rdment of Malborgeth. one of the pivots of the Austrian defense between the Carnic Alps and the up per Isonzo river. TarVis, an inpOE- tant railroad Junction, 12 miles fur ther east, also is threatened.
 The inquiry into the loss of the Cunard line steamer LusitAnia was opened in London this morning. Nothing is to be made public concern ing the orders sent to the ship by the British Admiralty, but testimony showing the actions of those in charge of the steamer after the torpedoes were fired will be permitted At torney General Carson, in his open ing statement. said the Lusitania was steaming at only 10 knots an hour at the time of the attack, using 1s of her 26 bQi2aEs9

Britain.
 ''In their note to Germany the speaker said, the United States all ready have officially denied this and confirm and fully prove the remarks of the American government that the Lusitania was not armed and that she never had been fitted out as a transport.
 without warning a German sub marine fired two torpedoes at the Lu- sitania and it is believed that a. third projectile also was fired. Such an act was not only contrary to information tates of civilization and humanity. To sink passenger ships in this manner was deliberate attempt at murder g
 Continuing, Sir Edward remarked that the question of speed would be important. The Lusitania was going Is knots, using only 19 out of her 25 boilers in consequence of the decreased traffic, thus saving a quarter of her total consumption and a proporttonate amount of labor.
 Certain specific information was sent by the British Admiralty by wireless te1egraphy to the Lusitanta, but these instructions are not to be made public and this part of the evidence is to be taken in private
 ''It is quite evident" said the at torney general, ''that one of the main questions for the consideration of the court will be these instructions and how far the captain of the Lusitanta acted upon them.
 'As a result of the first question to be decided in an investigation of this kind is how the accident occurred Tn this case we know that there was nc (Conrinued on Page Twol
