 Coroner Arthur G. Bill of Daniel son who talked with Mrs. Zara yes- tcrday says that the woman told him that she could stand no longer the abuse of her husband, and since he bought some real estate she felt as if she would be killed or she would have to kill her husband in self defense.
 In court Mrs. Zara was asked If she had a lawyer. She said she had none but would do as told about securing counsel.
 Zara is in a critical condition at St. Joseph's hospital with a bullet in the left lung. The surgeons hardly eX- pect him to pull through.

RAILROADS TO RUN FOOD SUPPLY TRAINS Efforts to Be Made for TranSpor-
 tation Of Milk, Also SHORTAGE IN FREIGHT CARS
Situation Grows Acute Even if No Strike Is Declared, Because of Lack of Ships at the Railroad Termi- nalS.

New York, Aug. 29.-Railroad traf- tic officials indicated here today that every effort would be made in the event of a general railroad strike, to operate sufficient trains to transport milk and perishable foodstu1fs, through a system of promotion or men from other departments to fill the places of the men who walked out. Skilled machinists and engineers III other industries would be employed to operate these trains, it was asserted, together with the most efficient or the railroad employees who remained Tn the roads service.
 The freight car shortage situation here and in the west is declared to be growing more acute, with the ra1l- roads facing the prospect, even II there is no strike, of freight traffic be- coming congested earlier than year ago, due to grain shipments and to continued lack of ships to transport products from Atlantic terminals. Railroad officials here are considering a plan of temporarily refusing freight at points of origin as means or keeping terminals open and facilitat-
  some of the roads already are fol- lowing this procedure except in in- stances where the manufacturers have arranged in advance for definite con tracts with steamship lines for the eX pOrtatiOn of their products.
 An appeal was mailed to the preSi- dents of all railroads by the New York milk committee today urging that op eration of milk trains be continued if a strike takes place. To representa- tives of the employees similar appeal was dispatched.
 Many babies will die if the move ment of milk Is stopped, the appeals declare, adding
 Moreover, to deprive children other than babies of their daily supply of milk is to lessen their resistance to the disease germs responsible for the present epidemic of infantile paraly- Si

itself would pay); they apparently foel no confidence that the interstate commerce commission could With stand the objections that would be made They have thought best that they should be forced to yield, if they must yield, not by counsel, but by the suffering of the country.
 Yields Principles to No Man.
 ''I yield to no man in firm adher- ence to the principles of arbitration in industrial disputes; but matters have come to a sudden crisis in this particular dispute.
 T was seeking to compose the present order to strengthen the future. **
 But I could only propose.
 Having failed to bring the par ties to this critical controversy to an accommodation therefore I turn to you.
 "In the spirit of such a purpose, I earnestly recommend the following legislation:
 First, immediate provision for the enlargement and administrative re- organization of the interstate com merce commission.
 "Second, tho eesta blishment of an eight hour day as the legal basis of work and of wages in the employ ment of all railway employees who are actually engaged in the work of operating trains in interstate trans portation.
 Third, the authorization of the appointment by the president of a small body of men to observe the ac- tual results in experience of the Nf joh railway transportation.
 Fourth, explicit approval by the congress of the consideration by the interstate commerce commission of an increase of freight rates to meet such additional expenditures by the railroads as may have been made necessary by the adoption of the eight hour day.
 l Fifth, an amendment of the exist l ing federal statute by adding to it a 1 provision that in case the methods Ot 1 accommodation now provided fol | should fail, full public investigation ! of the merits of every such dispute ] shall be instituted and completed be- 1 fore a strike or lockout may lawfully be attempted.
 And, sixth, the Judgement in the hands of the executive of the power in case of military necessity, to take control of such portions and such rolling stock of the railways of the country as may be required for mili- tary use.
 This last suggestion I make be- cause we cannot in any circumstances suffer the nation to be hampercd in the essential matter of national de- fense.
 we should make all arbitral awards judgments by record. of a court of law in order that their inter- pretation and enforcement may be. not with one of the parties to the arbitration, but with an impartial and authoritative tribunal
 These things I urge upon you as permanent and necessary additions to the law of the land"

Runania'S Reasons.

Bucharest, Aug. 28, via Petrograd, and London, Aug. 29, 7:10 a. m.-The causes which led Rumania to declare war on Austria-Hungary are set forth in a note presented to Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian minister to Rumania, after a meeting of the Ru- manian crown council at which 1t was decided to declare war. Summarized, the reasons given are:
 The triple alliance, to which Ru- mania was a party was broken when Italy declared war against Austria Hungary.
 Austria Hungary threatened the in terests and national aspirations of Ru- mania.
 Austria -Hungary's assurances that it was not inspired by a spirit of con- quest or territorial gains, in attacking Serbia, have not been fulfilled.
 Rumania was confronted with terri torial and political changes menacing her future.
 Rumanians in Hungary suffered op- ,pression, arousing @ continual state of animosity between the two nations.
 Rumania desired to hasten the end of the war, safeguard her racial in terests and realize her national unity.
 The note further says:
 Rumania found herself in the pre- sence of powers making war for the sole purpose of transforming from top to bottom the old arrangements which had served as basis for their treaty of alliance. These changes were for Rumania proof that the object she pursued in joining the triple alliance no longer could be attained anr that

Berlin, AuG 29, Via London, 6:O1 D. m.-Reports were received here to- day to the effect that the Rumanians have been defeated in thein~sgfirsE1 efforts to force a way through three mountain passes into Hungary.
New Britain herald., 1916-08-29

A hurried canvass of New Britain this afternoon elicited the information that this city is i'll prepared to meet any emergencies which would come as a result of the big railroad strike. Due to the freight congestion all sum- mer, grocers, wholesalers and manu- lecturers have no large supplies on hand and with a general railroad tie- up they would be left helpless. The food supply is low. Wholesalers have but little stock on hand and manufac- turers confess that they, too, have but little available stock and must rely on the railroads to look out for them.
 In case of a railroad strike of any long duration it is feared that New Britain may suffer for foodstuffs. Prices will soar, it is predicted. It is also hinted that in case of eventual ities it may be necessary to close down certain factories or various depart ments because of inability to get ma terial with which to work.
 'The situation IS one of the most ser ious that the city has ever been con- fronted with" one well known busi- ness man and manufacturer stated to- day.
