VICTIM OF 4 MAN'S WRATH
 TELLS STORY
John Pug Is on Trial for Attempting to Kill Mrs. MiIka
 SepiCh.

The trial of John Pug, charged with shooting. with intent to kill, started this morning in the District Court Mrs. Milka Sepich. who was the victim of the shooting, was on ;he stand and the entire morning was taken up with her testimony and cross examination. Mrs. Sepich tes- tified that she was sitting in her Kitchen peeling apples when Pug appeared and that she was still in the same position when she was struck by the bullet
 Mrs. Sepich testified that Pug said, among other things that he was broke and was hungry and asked her to give him S2O. Mrs. Sepich said she did not have that amount and Pug then said, q was good enough to stay here when had money, but now that I am broke can't stay in your house.
 A short time before the shooting Pug had been ordered to leave by the husband of Mrs. Sepich and the two men had Quarreled The tes- umony disclosed the fact that Pug was Respondent over not receiving mail from his wife and children in the old country
 The testimony brought out the fact that Mrs. Sepich saw the re- volyer in the hands of Pug shortly before the shooting, but that she did not think he was angry at her or. would harm her. She testified that she heard the shots, and ran out side. but she did not know she had been hit at that time. She did not see Pug shoot, and did not remem- Der anything after the shooting m-I M she awoke in the hospital the next day.
 Considerable amusement was oc- casioned in court through the eager ness of Kazic Krauczunas, attorney for the defendant Mrs. Sepich speaks no English and was forced to testify through an interpreter Mir. Krauczunas is fluent lingoist and understood her answers to his questions. In his eagerness to ques- ton the witness he would not give the interpreter time to give her answers to the jury before asking the next question and several times was obliged to apologize to the court on that account.
 The shooting occurred last spring in 8 roomiug house on Willoughby Avenue which is operated by Mrs. sepich and her husband Mrs. Sep ich was struck twice by bullets, once ia the head and once in the left arm.
 After the shooting Pug attempted to commit suicide and for long time was in St Ann's ospital, not expected to live
 Late Saturday afternoon the jury was secured and consists of the fol- lowing:
 l.. Zenger Louis Karsten, F. C.. Jones, John Ahlers. Ike OMeara, II. II. Post, J. K. Neville, Perry Wiley A. M. Betterbuagh. Arthur Bald win, D. c. Whiteford, and Edward Kane

AS TO WINTER MAIL SERVICE

Tom Boyd of Tokotna was a visitor in the city this week He states that crops this year in the Kuskokwlm valley will S1ot be ns abundant as formerly. Mir Boyd is one of the suh-contractors on the winter mail service. and he states that he has not been informed as yet as to any intended change in the route during the coming winter
 Mir Boyd states that arrangements have been made which will insure Q much speedler delivery of mail during the coming winter than heretofore It will be the duty of car riers to continue their journey with the mail until the connecting carrier is met even though they should be compelled to pass the customary meeting place In this manner the mail wifi be carried through without delay, and Mir, Boyd expects that a service of twenty-one days between Seward and Iditarod will be possible.
 Another innovation will be the use of dogs instead of horses on this end of the route and also at the coast end. Horses only will be used between the Interior sta, tiOnS

TWO EX.AMBASSADORS
AT DINNER FOR ELKUS
Henry Morgenthau and Oscar S.
Straus Honor Successor.

Abram I. Elkus. Ambassador TO Tur-
key, was guest Of honor at farewell
dinner given him by $50 fellow men,
bers of the Freundschaft Club, at the
clubhouse, l05 West Fifty-seventh
Street, last night. At the speakers
table were two of Mr.. Elkus's prede-
cessors, Oscar S. Straus and Henry
Morgenthau; Rabbi Stephen S. Wise,
Federal Judge julius Mayer, Max Brill,
president of the club, and Irving l..
Ernst, POSTMASTER. In honor of the
country to which three Jewish ambas-
sadors have been accredited success
sively, the diners wore red fezes
trimmed with gold crescents.
Mr.. Morgenthau, the first speakeT re-
lated some of his experiences in Tur-
key.
81 never heard the end of praise for
Oscar Straus while | was there" he
said, land found no prejudice against
the Jew, largely through his good of
fees. fatter myself that the path of
my successor will be made a little
smoother because of my stay there"
Mr. Morgenthau said Jews never had
so much reason to be proud as now,
with Paul Warburg, Judge Brandeis
and Oscar Straus all doing illustrious
service in public life.
81 want TO say to you men that there
is something greater than the mere ac-
emulation of wealth. All the years
spent acquiring wealth and position did
not afford me the satisfaction of the
few years | spent in public service"

REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S
THREAT CASTS GLOOM
Won't Allow Adjournment With
out immigration Vote.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Aug. l0.-Within an
hour to-day the Republican Senators, in
caucus passed a resolution that they
would not agree to any programme
looking to an early adjournment which
did not provide for vote on the i'm
migration bill, and two Democratic
Senator'S, Myers, Of Mont. and Ashurst,
of Arizona, insisted on the floor that
this bill must be voted on.
Gloom began to settle on the bright
prospects for an early adjournment as
soon as the Republican Senators got in
conference. They decided that they
were in no degree responsible for the
programme to be put through before
adjournment, but that this was entirely
up to the Democrats.
A resolution expressing those senti-
ments was proposed, amended by the
specific reference TO the immigration
bill. and adopted.
The proceedings in the Senate to-
day did not add to the hope of an
early adjournment. Virtually the en-
tire day was given up to political dis
cussion on both sides, the ship purchase
bill, which was technically before the
Senate, being ignored.

One of the most important gifts
made recently to the Metropolitan
Museum is Regnault's famous picture,
"Salome," presented by George F.
Baker, one of the trustees of the
munseum and a member of its execu-
tive committee.
The picture was acquired by Mr..
Baker from Roland Knoedler. who
purchased it at auction at the sale Of
the collection of the Marquise Lam
dolfo- Carcano in Paris in 1912 for
sos 900. Unwilling to deprive the
Louvre of a masterpiece by French
artist, Mr.. Knoedler offered the
picture to the French government for
the purchase price. The government
was unable to avail itself of the offer,
and the picture was brought TO
America. Recently it was exhibited Mt
the Allied Bazaar.
"Salome" was first exhibited in
America at the Centennial, held IN
Philadelphia in 1875. At that time IT
attracted a great deal of attention,
both through its own interest and the
fact that its painter had been killed
only few years before in skirmish
at the siege of Paris in the Franco
Prussian War. Although Regnault
was only twenty-seven at the time OF
his death, many of his pictures are
as well-known as the example at the
Metropolitan.

Redfeld Says Durand
Has Convicted Himself


Cooperstown, n. T., Aug. l0.-Will-
lam C. Redfeld, Secretary Of Com
merce, dictated a statement tonight
on the Durand and Tillman resigna-
tions from the government service.
The statement follows:
"Durand, in the letter which Mr..
Hughes read, does not claim either to
have toen removed or that his resigns
ton was demanded. He says he told
ME he would resign when requested.
He does not so much as hint that
asked him to make this tender. What
Durand did, either in resigning or say
ing he would resign, he did voluntarily
and unasked, and he gives the reason
himself.
1--WE may accept Dursnd's own state
ments as justfying fully the statement
made by me in wiring Mr. Hughes that
'Durand was not removed or retired.
but resigned, voluntarily, unasked.' He
himself is witness TO this by his own
statements.
"The trouble appears to have been
that the resignation was accepted"
