BICAMY CHARGED
 AGAINST HALLETT
 STREET RESIDENT
Vermont Woman Says She Witnessed Marriage of
 Katel in Austria.

Following the testimony of Mary Popowith, of 122 Harriet street, t,whom he married in this city more than two years ago, and Mrs. Anna Haldsh, of Proctor, Vt, who said she had wit messed his marriage to another woman in Austria years ago, John Katek, was held in $500 for the superior court by Judge Frank Wilder this morning Two years ago last August the Hun garian population of the city evinced great interest in Katek's wedding to the Popowith girl, in the church on Arctic street. Six months ago they ouarreled and ceased to live together. Two weeks ago Katek appeared in court as a defendant in an assault accused the defendant of being a big amiSt.
 Finally Mrs. Haldsh, who says she is a relative of Katek's first wife and attended their nuptials in Austria, re- ceived a letter from Austria written by the spouse he is alleged to have de. serted, seeking his whereabouts and information concerning him. Mrs. Haldsh located Katek in this city and interviewed the Popowith girl with the result that he was arrested. \4
 He denied he was ever married in Austria or that he had another wife, although a copy of his marriage li- cense in the old country was read in court.

tion itself as a community. We must release our great undeveloped natural resources upon some sensible plan of use and conservation. We must recruit the votes of forward-looking men by the votes of women so that we may have fresh insight in all matters of social reform and move more certainly and more promptly in the solution of the many new prob- lems of society with which the law must henceforth deal. We must unite the Americas, North and South, in a new sympathy and cooperation. We must seek justice and tle right through every channel that offers; and we must put America in all it's force, in all its wealth, alike of physi- cal power and spiritual enthusiasm. at the service of the other nations of the world when peace comes on the other side of the seas, to make that peace permanent by establishing it on the everlasting foundations of right, cooperation, equality and justice. These things we must do, and all else that may serve mankind.
 And our motto must be "CO- OPERATION" the union, not the hostile rivalry, of the forces of so- ciety within the nation and within the family of nations, The interests of mankind can never again be served by aggression, the interest of no na- tion or group of nations can ever again be served by aggression. The contests of jealousy are as bitter and as danger uus as the contests of arms.

HARRIS PLEADS
 FOR GIRL WIFE WHO STOLE FUR
Unsophisticated As a Rural Lass, Declares Husband
 In City Court.

Wringing his hands with grief, while tears streamed down his cheeks as he violently protested his wife's innocence of intentional wrong-doing, attributins to her the virtues of an unsophistfcat- ed rural lass, the husband of Mabel Harris. 22 years of age. who was ar- rested for stealing a $35 huff from Dorsen's dry goods store, following a chase yesterday afternoon, made an unsuccessful plea for her liberty this morning.
 In his wife's defense Harris claimed that in a sddden fit of insanity, from which kleptomaniacs suffer, she stole the huff from the store counter; that she was a good girl. a Iowa ble wife aPd came here with him from Potsdam. Pa., two weeks ago to help him in earning a fortune.
 The police, however, assert that Mrs. Harris is far from being the personi- f1cation of girlish innocence, inasmuch as she asked for a box of cigarettes im- mediately after her arrest and seemed little concerned about her predica- ment.
 Judge Wilder continued the case until Tuesday to give the police an op- portunity of looking up her record in Potsdam After the hearing in the judge's room, Harris still weeping and greatly upset, left the court room.

Biz Demands For American
 Goods Soon Firm Informs Civic Body Here.

English merchants will turn to America for local machinery and fabrication after the war, which the mercantile firms of London believe will Hoon end, and cash will be await ing American shippers upon delivery of goods at New York or other tide- water port.
 This is the statement made in a letter received today from the Lopdon importing firm of William Tom & Partners, 37 George street, Gambler well & Green, s. E. by the Chamber of Commerce at Bridgeport.
 While at present there is not much chance of doing business. the time is opportune for getting things in shape for "after the war; says MT. Tom in his letter which concludes with this significant statement not contradicted by the British censor, land war may end sooner than expected"
 Another paragraph of distinct in- terest to Americans is this: 'The opportunities for the sale of Amerf- can-made goods here after the war viii be hugely increased not only in the British Isles but in the Colonies after the war;"
 It appears that number of similar letters have been sent to America by various British firms seeking to estab- fish connections with American fac tories and this opportunity for Bridge port factories especially those dealing in machinery and hardware, to estab- fish @ British connection and determ- inc the future possibilities seems riDo
