DELINQUENTS ESCAPE
 BY PAYING $2 TAX
No Costs Assessed Against Tax Dodgers When They Appear at
 Police Station.

Frederick w. Greene of 204 Wash ington street, assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, was one of those who today faced the aIterna- tive of paying his personal tax for 1916 before police court opened or having his name read from a warrant by Clerk Emil J. Danberg. He paid as did a number of others whose names were on warrants given to the police last night. As result of Q misunderstanding, it was today re- ported between the police and Per sonaI Tax Collector Charles J. Elliott they got off by the payment of the $2 without costs. There will be no lee way another time, all those whose names are on future warrants being scheduled to pay the amount of the taxes and costs.
 Those who paid before court were: Charles O'Connor. Beaver street; Ed ward J. Mullen, Washington street; John OBrien, Jr., Myrtle street; James Maher, Commercial street; Thomas Are, Franklin street; Charles Burns, High street; Martin Conway, Stanley street; Marcus W. Case, Wal lace street; John Walsh, Main street; John Burns Cemetery Lane, and Peter Glynn, 95 Smalley street.
 The only one who had his name read in court was Joseph Smith of 131 T,afayette street He arrived late, having just heard that he was wanted. It developed that the police were un- able to locate him last night as, when assessed. his address was 115 Lafay- cite street.
 Prosecuting Attorney George w. I<lett and Collector Elliott announced that there will be another batch of warrants issued soon. Those whose names are on them will not have the opportunity of getting off with only the payment of $2 fine but will also be assessed the costs of action.

MOVIE CONTESTANTS
 GOING TO NEW YORK
Local Actors Will Leave New Britain @ Station at $50 a. m.-Pic-
 ture Is Finished.

Despite the storm this morning it became necessary for the directors and camera men from the Mirror Films Co.,, who are taking the mo- ton pictures of local amateurs, win ners in the Herald's Popularity con- test, to finish their work and several scenes of the film were "shot" com pleting the film as far as New Brit ain was concerned. The snow has handicapped the photographers in several instances and because of it several instances and because of 1t will not be as convincing as might be. However the local people have been given an opportunity to display their talent and their friends will be asked to make allowances for the fact that none of them has ever appeared in the movies before.
 The trip to New York will be made tomorrow and the interior scenes will be taken there. The contestants who have been named heretofore as be- ing eligible for the trip to New York will meet at the local station tomor- row morning in time to catch the 6:59 dinkey for Berlin. This is inn perative as it will be impossible to wait for anyone and only those who are on tint will be taken. The re- turn will be made late tomorrow.

BELIEVE BERLIN'S
 MOVE IS SINCERE
That is Opinion of Local Germans But Broadly Sympathizers Have
 Different Views.

Local Germans questioned on the matter are positive in their statements expressing belief that Germany is of fering peace to the Entente Allies be- cause she is certain of ultimate vic- tory and wishes to set herself before the world as an exponent of humanity desiring to save human lives and pre- vent further needless slaughter. They state that in the last five big ma neuvers along the eastern front Ger many has had the best of it in three and has been practically unhindered on the eastern front. The concensus of pro-German opinion in New Britain is that the soldiers of all the fighting armies are brave men and their lives should be spared; that to reject the offer of peace would be an unworthy act on the part of the Entente; and the least the Allies can do is to find what terms Germany can offer.
 On the other hand the opinion of some of the pro- Ally residents is in teresting. They unite in declaring the peace movement a confession of weakness by Germany and express the opinion that it is but a part of q brilliant plan to stave off certain crushing defeat. For England France or Russia to accept peace proposals would be traitorous legislation, they SaV

AMERICA'S DUTY TO GALL HALT TO WAR Gov. Capper Says We Should Lead Movement for
 Peace.

Washington, Dec. a5-America is confronted today with the responsibil- ity and duty of leading the movement for universal peace and to insure that such wars as that of the present shall no longer disturb the world, Cover nor Arthur Capper of Kansas today told the conference of governors here.
 Upon the American people" said Governor Capper, rests the responsi- biVty and duty of leadership in the movement for permanent peace among civilized nations. We are not meddlers in the affairs of others when we say that war must cease. The in dependence of nations, the bonds of commerce and finance, entirely aside from the dictates of common human ity, make it impossible for this plague of war to exist anywhere upon the globe without seriously affecting both our international relations and our domestic affairs.
 tThe close of the world war strikes the hour for the organization among civilized nations of an actual federa- tion with the purpose of maintaining g a world peace. America is the one nation which can propose such fed eration and affect its organization. This is because of our -participa- tion in the present struggle and be- cause of the magnitude of the nation and it's resources"
 Through such remedies as the pro- posed League of Nations to Enforce Peace or the Worlds Court League which proposes submission of all jus ticiable questions at issue between na- tions to an international tribunal Governor Capper declared the object might be obtained.

WORKMAN ELECTR0CUTED

Guiseppa Carrubla, 22, of 33 1-2 Lafayette street was electrocuted at the rolling mill of the Stanley Works about o'clock last night, dying all most instantly and before fellow work men could give assistance. Electricity of heavy voltage passed through his body as one of his hands came into contact with a lever that controls the power to run the machinery in that departmen Whether it was due to a short circuit or an electrical freak may never be known as Carrubla was alone at the time and his actions were not noted immediately prior to the accident.
