WATERBURY TROLLEY
 SERVICE TIED UP
Connecticut Co. seriousIy Handicapped by Decision Of Crews Not To
 Take Cars o0 Extra Runs.

Waterbury. June 2s.-Trolley serv- ice in this city was seriously handi- capped today by the refusal of many of the regular trolley men to take cars on extra runs. Very few extra cars were run this morning, regular cars were overcrowded and hundreds of factory employees were late for work in consequence.
 Tn whole trouble is due to a short- age of trolley men. Motormen and conductors claim that they are being overworked and take exception to an order recently posted which is said to make reporting for extra work com pulsory. The company maintains that the rule was passed to better the working conditions by making a more equal distribution of the extra work. It is claimed that the men are bound to refrain from going on strike by the two years agreement with the Con- necticut company under which they are working. It is said they intend to ask one of the officers of the In- ternational Brotherhood to come here and make an attempt to straighten out their difficulties.

Peace Before That Worlds Worst Disaster, Lloyd George Says
 COULD HAVE PEACE NOW
But Price Would Bc Dictated by Most Reactionary Autocracy in the World" He Declares-Russda to Recover With Bound.


 the question of peace today Premier Lloyd George said that if the war should be concluded a single hour end they set out to attain at the be- shining of the war it would be the greatest disaster that ever befell man. kind.
 Tn my judgment" said the pre- mier, this war will come to an end when the Allied powers have reached the end they set out to attain when they accepted the challenge thrown down by Germany to civilization. Then this war ought to come to an end. but if it comes to an end sim gle hour before, it will be the great est disaster that ever befell mankind.
 hear people say that Germany is ready to give up a satisfactory peace. No doubt you can have peace now at a certain price, for no doubt Germany wants peace, but 1t is a peace which would give her economic and other control over tho countries which she has invaded.
 Russia will regain her strength with bound, and become mightier and more formidable than ever." MT. Lloyd George continued. Although these distractions had the effect of postponing complete victory, they make victory more sure than ever, more complete than ever, and, what Is more important. they made surer than ever the quality of victory.
 There were many hearts filled with gloomy anxiety. contemplating the prospect of a peace conference to settle the future of democracy with representatives present of the most reactionary autocracy in the world $ the premier continued. "Russia is now unshackled> and her representa- tives at the peaAe conference would be representatives of 8 freer people ! lighting for freedom and arranging a future democracy on the lines o1 freedom. Not merely would the Rus- sian revolution insure a moro com 1 plete but higher, more exalted vic. l tory than ever was contemplated be- 1 fore"

TEACHER MURDERED, OTHERS \ ATTACKED, AT N. H. ASYLUM
GILLIGAN WELL TILL SOON BEFORE DEATH Son Tells of Sudden Demise of Father in Murder
 Case.

adrCIOros June zS.-The deatn or Michael w. Gilligan, her second hus- band. was mentioned during today's session of the trial of Mrs. Amy H. Archer-Gilligan, charged with the murder of Franklin R.. Andrews. A son. Frank F. Gilligan of Windsor, metallurgical chemist, said his father married Mrs. Archer on November 26. 1913, and died the following F'eb- ruary. His father had lived with the witness for three years prior to this marriage, and he had seen him fre- quently after, and he knew his father had been in excellent health. There was no cross examination.
 The state offered a copy of the in- ventory of MT. Gilligan's estate which was admitted over the objection of the defence. It showed value of $4.660. When the state offered a re- turn of notice claims paid by Mrs. Gilligan as Administratrix the defence claimed that documentary evidence of the entire probate transaction should be offered. The court so ruled. The return notice which was offered showed a total of $2.200 paid claims against the estate of which Mrs. Gil- Ngan got $1.600.
 The state claimed the purposes of this evidence was to show that Mrs. Gilligan had six months time in which to pay the claims against the estate although she had written Andrews asking for . loan of $1,00o as claims were being pressed. The state also desired to show the financial gain which would come to Mrs. 0illigan in the event of her husbands death.
 Several witnesses said they had known Gilligan and that he apparent ly was in good health almost to the time of death.
 Mrs. Allie E. Clark of Windsor. . relative of Mrs. Alice Gowdy. told of conversations with Mrs. Gilhgan in reference to Mrs. Gowdy. Tho witness said that if although Mrs. Gowdy died at 2 D. m. sho was not informed of the fact until the next morning when she went to tho home. She lived only a short distance away. Witness told of going to a cemetery in Hartford with Captain Hurley of the state po- lice and identifying a body there as that of Mrs. Gowdy.
 Lizzie Sullivan, an inmate of tho Hartford jail was a witness. MT. Holden tried to have her appearance delayed until after Mrs. Gilligan had testifled. The Sullivan woman said that during last summer Mrs. Gilligan would walk up and down the jail cor ridor clasping her hands and saying:
 'Oh, why did I do it?" She kept this up at intervals. The witness said that Mrs. Gilligan had told her that her husband was mo good" That as he only worked about the place she had to ask Andrews for money. She said that Mrs. Gilligan said her hus- band one day wanted whiskey and she gave 1t to him. Later she found him in the bath room helpless and she had to take him out. Later that night he died.
 On cross- examination MT. Holden asked a number Of personal questions which made spectators laugh. Judge Greene rebuked him saying that there was too much shouting in the asking of questions. The court said: "It is a solemn thing to try a wo- man for her life. You talk too much |,for the good of your client"

WILSON CHAMPION
 OF BEER AND WINE
Does Not Consider Their Prohibi-
 tion Necessary or Desirable
SEEKS POWER OF CONTROL
President Confers With Leaders and ExpFeaaes Views to Senator Phelan -Semate Coutinus Discussion ot Substitute on Food Btu.

Washington, Juno 29.-President Wilson today told senate leaders he agreed with the proposal to stop manufacture of foodstuffs into whis- key and gin, but did not believe the brewing of beer and manufacture of light wines should be stopped now.
 A provision to prohibit distilling and to empower the president to stop brewing and wine-making when hc considers 1t necessary he told senate leaders today he believed would sat- isfy prohibitionists and also the coun- try.
 An amendment to that effect will be introduced later with prospects of adoption.
 Postmaster General Burleson. who often represents the president in con- ferring with congressman. went to the capitol today and urged several senate leaders to modify the bill to permit manufacture of beer and wines. He was said to have told sem atorss the president does not desire to disturb or divide public sentiment during the war by cutting off con- sumption of light alcoholic beverages and that such action is unnecessary as 1t would conserve small supplies of foodgtuffs.
 President Wilson. according to Son. ator Phelan Of California with whom he also conferred regarding prohibi- ton Legislation, desires that he have authority to stop the manufacture of malt and vineous liquors of cases in emergency but does not believe inn mediate prohibition of their manu- fracture h necessary or desirable.
 Debate on tho senate's substitute for the house food control bill con- tinued in the senate today with the fight centered principally on the pro- hibition question.
 Graduated instead of fiat taxes upon excess profits in the war revenue bill were discussed and generally ap. proved today by the senate finance committee. The graduated rates proposed were from 12 to 34 per cent with the higher rates upon swollen profits. Formal action was deferred until later.

GERMAN GOLD RESERVE
 SHOWS FIRST DECLINE
Supply Failing Despite I'm passioned Appeal for Sur
 render of Jewelry

Copenhagen, June 29-For the first time during the war the weekly re- port of the Imperial Bank of Cor many shows . decrease In its gold re- serve. which this week is 7s.oo0, 900 marks below the preceding week. In- crements for a long time have been steadily declining despite energetic propaganda and appeals to surrender jewelry. The bank heretofore, how ever. has been able, though by often scanty margins, to avoid tho humilia- ting acknowledgement that growth paused entirely.
 This weeks decrease is attributed semi officially to heavy purchases abroad. The increase of the gold re- serve long since ceased to keep pace with the increase in note circulation.
 With the gold supply failing despite utmost efforts, financial autho4lties of late devoted their chief energies to 8 campaign to restrain an increase in note circulation by promoting the use of cheeks and bank transfers instMesd M d of cash. .S x x < London, June 29.-According to a despatch to the Times from Amster- dam German species from the Im- perial German bank has been received there consigned to several Dutch banks. The correspondent says 1t obviously is a small part payment of the German debt to Holland. chlefiy for foodstuffs, and is the only prac- ticable method of preventing further serious depreciation of the German mark. . s
 German currency 1t is anid, cannot be further buttressed by such devices as raising the prices of coal and steel. The writer quotes a state- mont in the Handelsbladt that impor- tant discussions took place recently between German and Dutch bankers with a view of re-establishing Ger- man exchange which now is some- what improved. The Handelsbladt expects gold consignments of greater amount shortly.

DOG SAVES WOMAN
 FROM STARVATION
Carries Note to Mainland from Island Where She Was Marooned Alter Husband Drowned.

Ottawa, June 2S.-After watching for two days the spot in Duck Lake where her husband was drowned. Mrs. Patrick Bruyere, of River Desert, Quebec, was saved from star vation by the sagacity of her dog. which swam from the mainland to the rock in Q lonely part of the lake where the woman was marooned with an appeal for help. With her hus- band Mrs. Bruyere went on fish- ing trip three days. ago. They landed on . rocky island some distance from shore. 4 squall set the canoe adr5ft. and Bruyere, who could not swim, tied . hne about his body and waded into the lake after the canoe Getting to the end of the ltne and within a few feet of the drifting boat he called to his wife to let 90 of the line. As she did 70 Bruyere stepped into 3 hole and sank. Mrs. Bruyere was un- able to help him.
 On the lonely island her calls for help were unanswered for two days. Then the Bruyers' dog swa1n from the mainland. The woman found pencil and paper in her husbands coat, which he had taken of before he went after the canoe, and wrote an appeal for help, which she tied to the dox's collar and then told the animal to return to the mainland.
 The dog carried the message to a neighbor who organized a searching party and rescued Mrs Bruyere. who was in serious condition from ex- posture and lack of food. The body of her husband was recovered.
