FIRST MEETING
Between TWO
HOUSES TODAY
Home Conferees on Naval Bill
Opposed to Extent of Appro.
priation but Administration Is
Determined

Washington, July 27.-Conferees rep
resentins House and Senate will have
their first meeting tomorrow to adjust
differences between the two houses in
the navy bill. The Democrats go to the
conference with the knowledge that
President Wilson wants to see the larg-
er building program, including the four
dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers
as written in the Senate, prevail in
the perfected measure as it comes to
him for signature.
House Democrats have told the Pres
ident there is opposition in their own
ranks to SO large a program, but the
administration has determined to press
it. Before the House selected its con-
ferees today the President summoned
to the White House Chairman Padgett
and the two ranking Democrats on the
naval committee and talked over the
proposed increases with them. Upon the
action of the conference will depend to
a large measure to what extent the ad-
ministration program, for the navy at
least, is to become an actuality.

BRITISH DENY

CHESAPEAKE BAY

Washington, July 27.-Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador,
informed Acting Secretary Polk today
that he had received a message from
the admiral in command of the Brit
ish squadron on the Atltnaic coast de-
nying that British warship had en-
tered Chesapeake bay as reported by
the commander of the battleship Lou
iSiana.
The ambassador said the British
ships had strict orders not to enter the
three-mile limit of American territorial
waters and the admiral had reported
that these instructions had not been
violated.
Mr.. Polk was told that the British
admiral was indignant over he re-
port that one Of his cruisers had made
an incursion into Chesapeake hay un-
der cover of darkness. The statement
of the ambassador will be accepted by
the state department but the comman-
der of the Louisiana is being pressed
by the navy for further details on Ms
report that a craft which passed him

not know what to make of the case, but
some are inclined to believe that the

GERMAN SOCIALISTS ISSUE
MANIFESTO TO LABOR UNIONS
AGAINST 4 GENERAL STRIKE

Berlin. July 26, Via London, July -.
The manifesto to the working class
es. Used by the Socialist executive
committee and the general commission
of labor unions. appealing against the
general strike which the leaders of the
Necht branch of the Socialists are en-
deavoring to organize, reads as fol-
lows:
The prolonged war weighs heavily
on all nations and entails great sac
rificeS. 1t severely tests the endurance
of those at home and at the front and
it is natural that i'll feeling and dis
content should develop.
Would increase Burden
This situation is. unfortunately be-
ing abused by irresponsible individ-
uals who wish to mislead labor into
resortng to mea sureS which are not in
the slightest degree adapted to relieve
the burden but rather to increase il.
An attempt is being made. through
anonymous leaflets which have been
circulating for several months among
members of the party and of unions,
to Secretary of War Haired and dis
trust against the deputies chosen b.
the Workmen themselves. The charge
launched against -hese men who for
years have stood at the head of the
organization of German labor classes
is that they are sacrificing Socialist
principles. have disregarded decisions
of German Socialist party conventions

T0CUS VETERAN
Gets IN WRONG
WITH PORTLAND

Portland. Me. July 27.-A young
fellow dressed as a Togus veteran was
making a nuisance of himself around
Railway square yesterday forenoon.
Some of the railroad officers thought
he might be bogus as he seemed to he
too young to be real Togus veteran.
He had transportation for Boston but
was in no hurry to go there. He was
driven out of the station twice and
then wandered over among the berry
piCkers in the field beyond the tracks.
They hooted at him and chased him out
also. His next move was to go down
a car that was standing on side
track. |. SO happened that there were
some young men in the car who We're
passing their spare time in reading a
most exciting story book. They shout
ed at the intruder and he lost no time
began to think the whole world was
against him, SO he went into the smok
ing room and curling up on bench
went to sleep. He let two trains for
Boston go by and then the police Of
ficer reused him up. took him by the
arm and led him on board train and
told him to sit right there till it reach
ed Boston. 1t is safe bet that when
that young man goes back to Togus
he will go from Boston to Gardiner by
boat, giving this city a wide berth

CrOnin was asked by the court how he
could see the respondent kick him
Nhen he was knocked senseless and he
was also asked how he found out who
the man was who lad assaulted him.
Ihe complainant replied that he had
been told that he was the second ba-
ker at the Home.
Therriault upon the witness stand
told an entirely different story. He
said that he was walking with the girl
in the evening on the road leading by
the summer house. 1t was about 80
and was daylight. The first that he
knew of the affair was when a man
came up to them and commenced US
ing bad language and calling them
names. The old soldier made a pass to
shake him and Therriault warded it off
and with the fat Of his hand knocked
him down. The respondent saw the old
soldier crumpled up and unconscious
and he picked him up. The girl was
standing nearby and saw it all. At that
time another old soldier came up and
when the respondent offered to take
Cronin to the hospital, the old soldier
said he would do it. Therriault denied
that he kicked Cronin, stating that he
struck him but once and then only
pushing him with the palm Of his hand
And he testified that Cronin had been
drinking.
Burlegh Martin. counsel for Their
riault, argued that no case had been
made out against the respondent and
that as the affair happened upon the
reservation the court had no jurisdic-
ton.
Throughout the trial Cronin would
interrupt with the words, IT'S a lie!
