with twice as many more ready to
walk out" tomorrow, the police said
they had received no report to sub.

Two hundred and five representa-

late today, ratified the sympathetic
strike order. it was announced, and
agreed to call out the members of
their organizations. While this meet

jumped to point of prime interest,
and the newspapers have found it
necessary to describe its situation by
the aid of maps. They are also dilat-

The news of the Bremen relieved
the protracted tension which had
grown intense as the expected arrival
Of the submarine was delayed from
week to week. Apparently authentic
rumors had been in circulation that
the Bremen sailed early in August.
There have been many reports of
the expected arrival c. the merchant
submarine Bremen at various ports
or the Atlantic Coast recently, but
up to the present, she has not arrived
in any of them The announcement
of her arrival printed in Berlin prob
ably resulted from one Of these many
premature reports reaching the Ger

New London, Baltimore, and Nor.
folk, have been reported as the desti-

has been much activity in New London

MAN CHARGED WITH
INSANITY TELLS A
PECULIAR STORY
Nick Ruby Threatens to Commit
Suicide to Win Back
Spouse
ATTEMPTS TO TAKE
# u LIFE BY HANGING

Nick Ruby, who was picked up the
latter portion of last week and held
in the county jail on an insanity
charge brought by his neighbors on
the South side of the city, was given
a hearing yesterday afternoon before
Judge H. G. Bradley. After a thor
ough investigation into the case it
was decided that Nick was still Of
sound mind and he was discharged.
The story told by the man accused
of being loose upstairs" is interest
ing to say the least. According to
the tale unfolded by the defendants
neighbors of the South side, he had
been acting queerly for several days
and on several occasions had threat.
ened to commit suicide. A family
squabble was given as the reason for
his strange actions.
Nicholas himself was given an op-
portunity to tell his version OF the
affair and it is the consensus of Opin-
ion that anyone who can tell the story
unwound by Nick and also 60 through
such trying events in an effort to
patch up a family difference is entitl-
ed to his freedom and acquitted or
all charges of insanity.
1t appears that the unfortunate VIC
tim of circumstances lost favor in
the eyes Of his better half and took
his loss very much to heart. Pleading.
offers of best behavior and OF the best
that life could afford failed to induce
his spouse to return to her heart
broken husband. AS last resort he
decided to play upon Mrs. Ruby's
sympathy, possibly upon her con-
science, in fact in the words of the
man who went through this siren
uous ordeal, 81 seen my duty and l
done it." With this ,>pur1ose IN view
he made several threats to take his
life and in last attempt secured a
rope and proceeded to end his misery.
He was apprehended in time and the
neck tie party ended with the story
told before Judge Bradley yesterday
and Nick being acquitted.

The deadlock followed a long series
of conferences between former Secre.

the Japanese ambassador, and an ex-
change of notes between the two gov

bassador pointed out that under its
