ably fatally hurt from the result of a

Early Sunday morning he and his wife
had a Misunderstanding and she left the
house and started to walk to town, al
though it was not daylight. According
to the statement he made to the police
at the hospital, after she left he sprink
led oil about the house, set it on fire and
then shot himself.
Immediately afterward an automobile
owned by f. +. Green of Littleton and
going to Bethlehem went by the house as
the flames began to be visible. The men
in the car broke open the door, and as
they did so, Mr. Harris fell out uncon-
scious. He was rushed to the hospital,
where later he told his story. 1t is not
expected he will live.
The house was burned to the ground
with all its contents. The house had

BROTHERHOOD MEN
STILL STAND FIRM
Their Committee of GAO De-
parted for Home but Left
Explicit Instructions to
Subcommittee to Oppose
Arbitration of Eight-Hour
Day Proposition

Washington, D. c., Aug. 2s.-President
Wilson early to-day sent word to the
committee OF eight railroad executives
who will formally present the railroads
counter proposals, which it is hoped will
avert nationwide railroad strike, that
he would receive them at 2.30 this after
noon instead of 10 o'clock this morning.
This was determined upon in order that
the president might hold further confer
ences on legislation on the strike situa-
tion for presentation to Congress.
A joint session of Congress to hear
President Wilson's statement of the sit
uation was in prospect following Will
sons visit to the capitol last night to
confer with Majority Leader Kern of the
Senate.
The course of the four brotherhoods
was to-day in the hands of a committee
of "a, whom the entire committee OF
$40, before leaving for their homes, in
structed to listen TO no proposal in
volving arbitration of the eight hour
day basis. Strike orders are being cir
culated to await telegraphic release.
With the railway executives standing
firm against conceding an eight hour day
and the brotherhood leaders still stand
ing out against arbitration, hope of pre-
venting tie-up seemed to-day to lie
with Congress. Just exactly what can
be done none of the congressional leaders
themselves seemed to know. The situa
tion on all sides is the most perilous
since the negotiations began two weeks
ago. The hope of the president and the
leaders was in the posi-
bilty OF getting the brotherhood men to
give more time to continue the negotia
tions.
Senator Kern, the majority leader, said
all hope OF the adjournment of Congress
Friday was abandoned. The members of
congress, resigned to remaining in Wash
ngton to undertake any legislation nee
,ssary in the railway crisis, to-day were
studying the problem and waiting word
rom President Wilson. Some progress
i've Republican senators declared that in
heir opinion, in the event of a strike,
he president would ask Congress to di
ect federal reeeiverships to operate the
ines during the conflict. The probabi-
ty of legislation for government owner
hip is too remote TO be considered at
his time, they declared.

RUSSIAN PRISONERS SUFFER.
Stories of Distress at Hands of Germans
are Told.

Boston, Aug 2S.-Stories of suffering
and Illness among Russian prisoners of
war in German detention camps, said to
be due to lack of sufficient food were
told by G. Oberoutcheff, secretary of the
central committee organized in Switzer-
land for the relief of Russian prisoners,
in statement given out here yesterday
through Alice Stone Blackwell editor
of the Woman's Magazine.
Information as to the condition of the
prisoners came first through delegates
to the International Red Cross commits
sion, who had visited the prison camps
and later was verified by personal talks
with former prisoners, according to Mr.
Oberoutcheff.
"The daily ration OF the prisoners is
scanty," he said "In the morning they
are given coffee without milk or sugar
and 200 grams of potato bread to last
them the entire day. At noon they re-
eeive small quantity of soup, some
vegetables and sometimes, but not al
ways, a piece of meat. Supper is much
the same.
"The English, French and Belgian pris-
oners often receive supplies of food
from their governments, relief societies
or relatives and friends, but it is not
SO with the Russians Russian prison
ers often beg help, not only of their
own richer coutrymen, but of prisoners
of other nationalities. Many of these
would be glad to give it, but it is for
bidden.
"The hungry Russians, however, take
their soup plates to the French and beg
for their leavings, and get them. Driv-
IN to desperation, they sometimes even
search the garbage and devour every
thing they find that can possibly be eat
IN. We have heard Of this from Eng
ish and French prisoners who saw it and 4
have been told it by the Russians who 4
nave actually been obliged to do it."

Mrs Paulina Cerasoli, where they broke
in upon party drinking beer. One of
the members is listed as an habitual
drunksrd on the city court records, and

were seized, and Mrs. Cerasoli was ar
rested on selling and keeping charges.
Bail of $500 for her appearance at the
hearing and $50 on the beer was fur
nished.

to say that 200 people were roundly fed
before the caterers laid aside their ladies.
Baseball players representing in one

SAFE TAMPERED WITH
But Burglar Failed to Get in and Went
Away with 90 Cents in Stamps.

! An uncommonly wicked burglar en-.
tered the office of Parry & Jones, gran.
ite manufacturers, who share a Depot
square stoneshed with Brown & Carroll
Sa turday night and stole stamps to the
value OF 90 cents. Revenue stamps pur-
chased by w. w. Parry of the firm few
days previous were untouched, but evil
IDENTIFY an effort was made TO unlock the
Office safe, although the attempt was
unsuccessful Whoever burglarized his
way to 90 cents worth of affluence, first
removed a file from the drawer and used
taiat instrument TO force the desk, where
in lay the stamps. Mr. Parry stopped
in the office Saturday night at Q o'clock
to get an umbrella. but as the electric
current is shut off from the shed at
night, he did not use the lights, and
therefore is unable TO say whether he
arrived before or after the burglars Wis
it,
The mystery centers around the means
employed by the thief to enter the Office.
All of the high posted windows were
secured on the inside when the break
was discovered Sunday morning. The
door leading from the office to the shed
was locked inside and a lock of peculiar
design and not OF type that would
yield to a skeleton key is used on the
front door. So far as examination re-
vealed, neither of the doors had been
opened Mr. Parry reported the burglary
to Grand Juror William Wishart and
the police were asked to investigate. 1t
is believed that someone familiar with
the Office has got the stamps.

ITALY FORMALLY
AT WAR AUG. %
WITH GERMANY
Swiss Government Requested by Govern
Inent at Rome to Tell Berlin Gov
ernment that State of
War Exists.

Paris, Aug. 2S-A Havre dispatch from
Rome gives a communication published
by the Stefani agency and addressed by
the Italian government to the Swiss
ernment to inform the German govern
ment that Italy considers herself at war
with Germany from and after August
90.
Italy and German have been drifting
steadily toward war. In fact, Italy's
formal declaration amounts to little
more than official recognition of state
of affairs which already existed. The
declaration became inevitable when Italy
recently sent troops to Saloniki to CO.
operate in the campaign of the entente
allies on the Macedonian front, inasmuch
as Germany is directing the opposing
forces and has troops on this battle
line.
ltaly's position in regard to Germany
had been an anomalous one after Italy
withdrew from the triple alliance on May
g OF last year, and declared war on
Austria. Although by this act she ar
Tayed herself on the side of the entente
powers and against her former allies,
Germany and Austria, she remained Off
ciaily at peace with Germany until yes
terday Before Italy took the step
Germany exerted every effort to induce
Ler to remain neutral, sending to Rome
Rs ambassador, Prince Won Buelow, for
mer chancellor and one OF the ablest
statesmen Of Germany. The prince sue
ceoded fo- some time in averting war
between Austria and Italy, and when
he saw a rupture was inevitable took
steps toward preservation of an official
peace between Germany and Italy. He
negotiated with Italy a special agree |
ment under which. in case of war be- |
tween Austria and Italy, Germany and |
Italy pladged themselves to respect the |
properties and lives of their respective |
subjects in each others domains. This /
means for Germany a guarantee Of many 1
millions of dollars worth Of properties /
in Italy and for Italy the safety Of 90 /
600 Italian subjects stll living in Ger
many.

allies were dissatisfied with this state
