Under the law dividing the country in to twelve districts, New England forms the First District, but the busi- ness interests of this section of the state lie with New York rather than Boston and on that ground the argu- ments were made.
 The Connecticut men went to Wash ington to be heard on a petition that the banks of western Connecticut be transferred to the federal reserve bank district of New York. Figures were given to indicate the amount of busi- ness done with New York in compari- son with Boston together with state- ments> sh owing the amount and cost of telegraphing, tclephoning, mailing, trains and transportation.

MAYARREST WITNESS
 lN PERJURY CHARGE
Judge Orders Clerk to Withhold
 Partyka'S Fee

Before the day is over it is not un- likely that Frank Partyka, formerly
 proprietor of the Subway Saloon in
 the Stanley building and now em-
 ployed as a bartender at a saloon at
 the corner of Spring street and Hart ford avenue, will be arrested on charge of perjury on. the witness stand ! in police court this morning.
 3 Partyl5a was a states witness in the case charging Peter Priski with assaulting Howard Bennett in the sa-
 loon Saturday night Witnesses for both the state and the defense teSti- fled under oath that Partyka was do- ing duty behind the bar and that 3 when Bennett and Priski became en- gagged in a brawl he rushed out and tore the combatants apart Under ] oath on the stand Partyka stoutly de- nied seeing the trouble. He said he A was in the lavatory at the time I Closely questioned by Prosecuting Att torney George w.

After court Detective Sergeant Sam K uel Bamforth was busy obtaining wit nGsses to the fight in the saloon and the statements in court this m orning. Prosecutor Klett would not state definitely that a warrant will be is- sued for Partyka's arrest but admit ted it's possibility. To arrest a man for perjury, the lie under oath must have been of a material fact and F before a warrant is issued the case will be thoroughly investigated.
 The Cause Of It All.
 Peter Priski of 36 Clark street, de- gendant in this case, was fined $5 and costs for his assault upon Bennett. Witnesses explained that Priski at- tackled Freeman Barrows, a friend of Bennett and when the latter inter- ferred Priski grabbed him by the hair and dragged him all around the bar room until Partyka interferred. At B torrsy A. A. Greenberg appeared for Ythe accused. He termed Bennett an ''intermeddler" and declared he had Eno right to mix up in the fight be- tween Barrows and Priski. Priskis s brother injured the accused too, when he testified that both Barrows and
 sBennett were very drunk.

An Old POVerb.

It used to be proverbial that every man (and 1t is certainly no less true of woman) Is either a fool or a phy- sician at forty. This means that every intelligent person must learn so much about caring for his own health that by the time he is forty years of age he can almost be reck- Oned as a physician.
 Why, then, is there so much talk by doctors against lf-medication ?" A woman can recognize all ordinary ailments without calling on a doctor. If they are ailments distin ctive to her sex she generally knows enough to use that greatest of all remedies for such ailments, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and likewise she is familiar with the standard rem edies for other diseases.-advt.

Said to Be Surprised by Crop Pos
 abilities in Germany

The Hague, July 25, via London, 12:40 p. m.-Diplomatic representa- tlves in Berlin of the neutral powers have been taken by the German Of fcials on a trip to the country and shown the harvest situation. A para graph in the German newspapers dealing with this tour of inspection says:
 Tt is assumed they gained the con- viction that the plan of our enemies to starve us out will fail again this year. Some representatives were even surprised at the remarkably favor able outlook
 Heidelberg was the first district in the Empire to introduce mass feeding in the rural communes The number of cOmmunes to adopt this plan now totals eleven and, according to the koelnische Zeitung, is increasing weekly.
 An article from Berlin appearing in the mburger Nachrichten attempts to answer the popular complaint as to the high price of butter. The news paper claims that the last cattle cen sus compared with that of Decem Der, 1914, showed a decrease of 2,00O,000 head, of which S0O,OOO were milch cows. Owing to a deficiency of fod- der during the winter the health of the remaining animals suffered se- verely.
 It will be years, the newspaper says, before the grazing fields are again normal and it is feared that a high percentage of COWS will be per manently weakened. Therefore an improvement in the butter and milk situation is only to be expected to be extremely slow.

WOMAN DENIED BAIL
Justice Expresses Opinion Mrs. Beu- tinger Was Not Frank in Explain ing Shooting of Husband.

Newark. N. J., July 25-Chief Jus clared yesterday that while he sympa- thized as a man with Mrs. Margaret Claire Beutinger, accused of killing her husband at Caldwell, N. J., as a Justice of the Supreme Court he must deny her request for bail.
 Mrs. Beutingers attorney, Robert H. McCarter, offered any amount of bond, and pleaded that the woman's s physical condition, coupled with the fact that she was soon to become a mother and that her five children needed her, entitled her to bail.
 Justice Gummere said Mrs. Beutin- gers story, as presented in a lengthy affidavit, showed inconsistencies.
 She had failed to explain fully, he declared how fear had caused her to arm herself. Nor had she made clear what had happened in the first and second trips of her husband to her room She had not told all that oc- cured during the third visit, when he was shot.
 The affidavit of Sergeant Walter Godfrey of the prosecutors office was referred to by the court as a point against Mrs. Beutinger. Godfrey says he believes Mrs. Beutinger might have escaped, since she was nearer the door than her husband.
 "If I were charging grand jury, said the chief justice, 'T would have to say, Gentlemen, with these facts before you it is your duty to indict this woman for murder and leave 1t to the trial jury after they have heard her story to decide her innocence or

Peter Crowley, Of This City, Writes of
 Life on the Front

Alexander Houck is in receipt of a letter from Peter Crowley, a former New Britain hoy, with views of the British troops returning after the capture of some German trench es. While here Crowley worked at the Beloin hotel and about a year ago when the war talk was In the air over the latest news from the front he left New Britain and after months word came that he had joined the English army.
 Being a friend of Houck while here, he sent a number of pictures and let ters about the life and actions of the army before leaving for the front. When he went into active service his letters became less frequent, but at the same time more interesting. From the looks of the last letter the censOrs had apparently been tampering with it as part of the reading matter had been deleted.
 One of the pictures shows the Brit ish troops returning from a skirmish with the helmets on their heads that belonged to the German troops Crow ley is Lithuanian.

HERDING OF PRISONERS
Attache of American Embassy Says Germans Keep Captured Soldiers in Close Confinement at Camps.

London, July 25.-A dark picture of the treatment of British prisoners at the Heuheleben camp in Germany, where civilians are interned, is given in a report by Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, attache of the American Elm bassy at Berlin. The report reached Viscount Grey, the British Foreign secretary, from James w. Gerard, American Ambassador to Germany, through Walter Hines Page, the Ambassador to Great Britain.
 The barracks at Ruhleben," says pr. Taylor, "are overcrowded. The imperial authorities, after two years of war; have certainly had ample time to provide for the accommodation of prisoners. It is intolerable that people of education should be herded six together in a horses stall and in lofts. The hunks touch one another. The light for reading is bad, and reading is a necessity if these poor prisoners are to be detained during another winter. In the hay lofts above the stables the conditions are even wOrse."
 Dr. Taylor cites as an example one loft, 10 metres by 13 metres in width with the ceiling 10 feet high in the center and 4 1-2 feet high at the sides, where sixty-four men live.
 '"The light from the little window,' ,' says Dr. Taylor, lis so faint that the prisoners eyes will be seriously in- jured, if their sight is not permanent ly lost.'

MAY LOSE HIS ARM,
 FOLLOWING AUTOPSY
Instrument Slips and Physician :" Is PunCtured and Poisoned

New York, July 25.-The fact that and physician associated with Coro 1ler HalIenstein, may lose his left arm because of infection resulting from an autopsy is not bothering him as much as the fear that the news would spoil his wifes vacation.
 Tt is not that I would mind losing the arm so much" he said at his home No. 1868 Lexington avenue, but my wife and family are away in the coun- try and if they hear of the injury they will worry about 1t. It would be sure to spoil Mrs. Lehane's vacation.'
 Dr. Jehane was performing an au- topsy for the coroner upon the body of an unidentified man in the morgue last Wednesday when his instrument slipped and punctured his left arm slightly. He thought little of the wound at the time, but since then it >became apparent that the arm was infected and last night physicians at tending Dr. Lehane doubted if they could save the arm.
 The entire arm was affected and un- less the treatment being applied is successful, by today, in checking the
 
 tation would have to follow.
 The body upon which Dr. Lehane was performing the autopsy when wounded was that of a stowaway on board the United Fruit Line steamship Calamares, which arrived from the West Indies last Wednesday. The body was found on board the steam = ship on Tuesday. Beside it was a can of water with pieces of bread soaked In it, indicating he had not starved The autopsy developed the fact that death resulted from what is known as "southern fever" The body is in the morgue awaiting Identification.
 Dr. Lehane said he performed the autopsy without an assistant, which is unusual, and that when he cut him. self he applied an antisepttc, bound the wound and continued with his work The puncture was so slight he gave the matter little thought.
