 tfIn the Caucasus, on the Black Sea coast during the night of the first of January, the Turks attempt to ap- proach our positions but were stopped by our fire. -
 s'In the direction of Hammadan 3(Persia), ;, southwest of the town of Asadabad, we attacked a body of 500 Persian gendar1nes and drove them back toward the village of Cinema, north of Kangwar, killing dozens Of rebels and capturing prisoners and supplies. We suffered no losses. On the first of January our detachment holding Hammadan rendered military 'honors to the British flag which was hoisted over the British consulate.

between them. <
 In the hope of upsetting~ the 1uds rs 1nent of death which the superlof court imposed on the men. the law yers for them assign five alleged er- TOTS on the part of the trial court One of the contentious is that the court erred and nistook the law m admitting certain evidence and eA- hfbits offered by the state and which were objected to by the lawyers for the accused. It is contended that the judge erred in admitting tho test- rnony of Mrs. Case, the widow of the dead man. when she testified as to the method in which her husband usually carried his money, the state having failed to connect this testimony up
 with other testimony, as the lawyers for the condemned men, allege the prosecution represented to the court it would do.
 There is a further contention that the judge erred in re-opening che case after the prosecution and the defense had rested. the re-opening being tor the purpose as is contendeds of allow ing the state to introduce testimony and exhibits which, it is asserted, were in the possession Of the state during the whole trial, and which the lawyers for the condemne1 men say should have been introduced in chief, if at all, the state having knowingly, the lawyers for the men say tax el Lle chance of having an opportunity of using such evidence in rebuttal. Among other contentious in behalf of the condemned men is that the judge erred in charging as shown by the record, and especially in not charging that the neglect or refusal of tho Rc- cused to testify should not be con sidered against them.
 States Attorney Donald IT. warner and Frank B. Mum are on the record as representing the state. Charles H. Shapiro of Bridgeport. and Ser nard E. Higgins are on the record as appearing for the condemned men.

 IS GUTTED BY FLAMES
Connecticut Hotel is Swept By Fire at Midnight, Guests Forced to Flee in Night C1othes-South Nor walk Man Overcome By Smoke and Dies Way to Hospital Many Guests Are Badly Hurt Jumping From Windows of Hostery

Waterbury. Jan 1t seemed prob able to both police and fire authorf- ties this afternoon that only Charles M. Decker, of South Norwa.lk, lost his life i'll the fire which destroyed the Connecticut Hotel earlier in the morning. The injured will probably not exceed 10 although only six are hospftaI patients. The ruins within the four high walls of the hotel are to be searched when finally the fire which is underneath it's extinguished-
 streams of water played on these ruins throughout the forenoon and their effectiveness was hampered by the ice coating which formed on the tinbers and rubbish heap which had cooled off.
 Decker was found unconscious from smoke in one of the hotel railways by Hoseman Quinn, of Company 4, and was carried outside. He died from asphyxiation while being taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
 The police list of hospital patients follows:
 Charles L. Hanks. Gardner. Mass, travelling salesman, both legs brokeni John c. Galloway, Bantam, Conn.,, ribs broken and internal hurts extent of which is not yet known; Frank McCauley Columbus, O., travelling salesman, sDrained knees from sliding down q waterpipe from the fourth floor: c. c.

 Williams, one of the convicted men is resident of Bridgeport, but for some years before the night of the as- sault which terminated in murder he had been employed in Winchester and had lived with Maurice Pfaeff1in, whose home was about nine miles from Cases store. Williams had been known under the name of Harry Wat son. Harry E. Roe was a resident Of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., but some weeks prior to Nov. 28, 1914, according toy the finding of Fudge Reed made, Roe had visited Winsted with Williams The finding shows that on the night of Nov. 28, 1914, Roe and williams met in the freight yard in Winsted and the judge finds that after their meeting. there was ample time for them to have gone from Winsted to Cases store in, Barlxhamsted to corn1 init the assault and robbery
 The finding recites that there is a blacksmith shop about 92 feet south westerly of Cases store and on the opposite side of the highway, and that Williams and Roe procured the piece of iron axle, with which the assault was made from a pile of old iron, in front of the blacksmith shop.

Case was, that they assaulted ehim with the piece of iron axle, and robbed him of the money on his person, which amount ed to $10 or SIP in bills and change, and that after the crime they went to the home of one Bricklemaier, ad- joining the home of Arthur Pfaeff1in, where they arrived between and o'clock in the morning. Williams was arrested in. Bridgeport on Jan. Is, 1915, by state policemen. Roe at the time was in jail in Poughkeepsie, he having been arrested to answer to a complaint which charged him with another burglary, and on Jan. 1 5 and 16 Roe over his own signature 6eclar- ed that he and Williams went out into the country for five or six miles, that Williams went into store, while Roe said he staid outside and watch ed. When Williams came out, Roe said Williams had $10 or SIP. Ad- missions the men made on being ar rested, were offered in evidence against them on the trial. The judge finds that the admissions of Williams and Roe were made voluntary and in- deperder1tly, without any communica- Sion of any kind having taken place

 Hubert B. Case. the murdered man, conducted a general store in Bark hamstead. In the store was located the post office, and MT. Case was also one of the commissioners for Litch- field county On the night of Nov. 28, 1914. at about 9 o'clock, MT. Case was alone in the store. He was beaten with a, piece of iron axle on the head anr from the wounds he died about o'clock the next afternoon. A short time before MT. Case was assaulted, sums of money had been paid to him by two different persons, and these observed other sums of money, in MT. Cases possession, and the money was put by MT. Case into his pocket. Early on the evening of the assault, Mrs. AIzaria R. Case, the wife of MT. Case, and Miss Lillian Johnson, called at the store, and left with MT Case the key of the Case home, as they were go- ing to make a call. At 9:35 o'clock that same night, Mrs Case and Miss Johnson on returning from thee all, noticed the store was not lighted, and went to the Case home, and finding the house unIOcked they returned lO the store, and MT. Case was found in a wounded condition.

 Charles Hasse, manager of the ho- tel, and the police believe that in spite of the rapid development of the fire, all who were on the upper floors, escaped. Citizens who were on the street in the early stages of the fire and saw the flames sweep upward with a rush were of the opinion that if any guests were in their rooms at the time they could not have escaped.
 The hotel was of four stories in height with brick walls and substan- tianl construction. It was located in congested district with the building of the Reid & Hughes Dry Goods Co. and the plant of the Republican just in the rear.

monger-General'' is the title of Major
Hughie Green, who has arrived in
England on a special mission from
Major-General Sir Sam Hughes, the
Canadian minister of militia, to organ
ize the entire fish supply of the Can
adam troops. The appointment is
said to be without precedent in the
history of warfare and the introduce
ton of the fish ration to the Canadian
troops is expected TO improve the
health of the men, save the Dominion
thousands of dollars each week and
revolutionize the fish industry of
Canada.
Major Green is said to have inter
viewed the Dominion authorities with
frozen fish under each arm. He had
brought the fish 1000 miles, so the
story is told here, and so impressed
the Canadian officials that they lost no
time in laying the plans for carving
out his scheme
Green, who is but IS years old. has
caught fish nearly all his life in the
waters Of the Great Lakes He ar
rived here with 40 tons and before
| leaving organized the business so that
the same amount will arrive each
week, all ready for cooking. Much of
the fish which will come from Canad-
ian waters of the Great Lakes and
consist OF salmon, halibut, soles, cod
smoked haddock. white nsh and her
rings.
Major Green has engaged many In
dians in the smaller northern Canad
ian lakes to assist in the catching of
sufficient FISH to keep the Canadian
troops in England and on the CONT
nent well supplied Tor the duration
OF the war.
