M0THE:R ] l:ll! Of SEEN } COMMITS SUICIDE Mrs. Carl Beyer of Linden Street Drinks Carbolic
 Acid.

Mentally unbalanced, 1t is believed. because of constant breeding over the tragedy of Elsie Parsons death a week ago by the same agency, Mrs. Carl Beyer of % Linden street, aged forty-two years, wife of Carl Beyer and mother of seven children, drained the contents of four ounce vial of carbolic acid shortly before noon to- day.. With her seven months old child laughing and cooing in a crib by her side and other children playing in the sunshine outside. she lay down on couch and soon lapsed into un- consciousness after a period of great agony. Her last conscious sight was of her. baby and five years old daugh- ter. Mary, who saw her mother go into the pantry with bottle in one of her hands and, upon returning, lie down or the couch.
 Detecting suspicious fodor and noting her unconscious condition upon returning home from. work at noon, MT. Beyer sent in an emergency call for Dr. J. B. Martin. The latter hurrietlly called police and fire head quarters for the ambulance and lungmotor. Policeman Frederick Wagner responded with the former while Chauffeur E. J. Woods. Cap- tain Eugene F. Barnes and Lieutenant Frank A. Gtlligan of Engine Co. No. I responded with the latter in Chief Dame's car. Heroic treatment was given. Little moro than breathing and with. no hopes of recovery: held out, she was rushed to New Britain General hospital. pr. Frank Zwiclk was called into the case later.
 It was found out that she made two attempts to buy the acid this morning, the second attempt being successful. It was between S:30 and 500 o'clock when a boy came to Thomas Dyson of 36S Arch street, clerk at the East End pharmacy, and wanted twenty five cents worth of acid for a woman living in that vicinity. He said that she wanted it good and strong and not weak He did not secure the poison. About an hour later Mrs. Beyer visited the drug store and suc- ceeded in securing the desired acid.
 There was pathetic scene at the hospital when husband and children gathered around the cot upon which ,-- the unconscious and terribly burned body of wife and mother.

HOLLWEG PREDICTS . FRANCHISE REFORM BelieFes German People Must
 Hafe Greater Voice in Govt. 2 WAR CHANGES CONDITIONS 'sWoe to the Statesman Who Docs Not
 Recognize the Signs of the Times,'
 Chancellor Says in Speech Before
 Prussian Diet.

London. March I5. ' a. m.-A political reorganization of the German empire after the war, involving a greater share by, the people in. the conduct of imperial affairs. was pre- dicted by Chancellor Von Bethmann- Hollweg, in a spec h before the Prus- sian diet, according to a Berlin de- spatch to Reuters by way of Am sterdam. In beginning his address the chancellor protested against criticism levelled at the Reichstag by the upper. house of the diet. Admit- ting that every parliament in Ger many Is entitled to discuss imperial policies, he, reiterated previous assur- anccS that the war must lead to a. political reorganization and that the government would, after the close of hostilities. propose a reform of the Prussian franchise.
 '.After the war; said the chan cellor, i've shall be confronted with the most gigantic tasks that ever confronted nation. They will be so gigantic Athat the entire people will have to work to solve them. A strong foreign policy will be necessary, for we shall be surrounded by enemies Wnlm We snail not N1eeI Wlln iOUU words but with the internal struggle of the nation.
 We can only pursue such policy if the patriotism which during the war ilas developed to such a mar vellous reality is maintained and strengthened"
 People Must Have, Voice.
 I1e went on to declare that the maintenance of patriotism could only be achieved by granting the people in general equal ,co-operation in the ad- minietration of the empire. W
 Woe to the statesman he said. ''who does not recognize the signs Of the times and who, after this catas- trophe, the like of which the world has never seen, believes that he can take up his work at the same point at which it was interrupted. I will de- vote my last efforts to the carrying out of these ideas of making our people strong. Only one thought fills me and all of us at present-how to end the war yictoriously. As the war can only be won by the exertion of our greatest possible man power, have freely spoken my thoughts on the internal policies of our people for the future"

BOTH SIDES SILENT AFTER CONFERENCE Railroad Managers and Brother
 hood Chiefs Talk for Hour WILL RESUME DISCUSSION
Employers Representatives Positive They wnl Make No Bargain Until Supreme Court Passes on Adamson Eight Hour Law.

Eight Hour Law.
 New York. March l5.-With no an nouncement as to whether any agree ment has been reached, the joint con- ference today between the four chiefs of the railroad brotherhoods and the railroad managers to consider the de- mands of the brotherhoods for an ina mediate settlement of the eight hour controversy adjourned after an hours discussion until four o'clock this af- ternoon. ,%s 1t was learned, however, that the adjournment was taken to give time for the managers to consider in sep arate session the uttimatum presented by the chiefs threatening strike un- less their demands were complied with. The managers were to give their answer at four o'clock. a
 The 100000 railroad brotherhood men, according to their spokesman. w. G. Lee, are determined to get tlie eight hour day now because, should war come, patriotism would make them feel obliged to stay at wrok.
 "We feel confident" says state ment issued by the managers, that the patriotism and loyalty of our men will not countenance any rash move ment which may seriously embarass the government and give the impress sion outside our border that this country is torn by industrial strife and, therefore, is easy prey to any foreign foe.''
 Ut is too late for them to embar- rass us now as patriots. hoping there by to defeat tho just contsttiqna of their .employes.,' says a statement lss sued by the brotherhood leaders In answer to this appeal.
 No Bargain, Managers Say.
 The railroad managers entered the conference today with the declaration that they would make no bargain uIa- til the supreme court had ruled on the constitutionality of the Adamson law. The brotherhoods insist that the provisions of the Atkinson law be put into effect at once as of Jan. |, They demand ten hours pay for eight hours work and pro rata pay for all overtime. The important difference between these demands and those sub mitted last December, when the rail- road situation. first reached a crisis, Is that the latter called for time and half pay for overtime work.
 The position of the employees when the conference opened was that if these demands were not granted a strike would begin next Saturday night and extend through the country within the next three days.

 March IS, 5:35 a. m.-The detention
 of two Americans in Germany, one Of whom at least apparently is classed s4by the German authorities as bel-

TURKS, FLEE IN CAUCASUS;
 KERMANSHAH IS CAPTURED
Petrograd Officially An Y nounces Sweeping Adyance
 After Several Days of,
 Silence on War Situation.

With the exception of the notable German retirement on the Franco Belgian front. which, whether volun- tary or forced is still continuing, the most interesting military movements at present in progess are those in western Persia and Mesopotamia.
 -Disorganized by their defeats at Kut-el-Amara and before Bagdad, the Turkish forces in that section of Mesopotamia are retreating up the Tgris
 Eastward across the Mesopotamian border, in Persia, two columns of Russians are advancing towards the line of the Turkish retreat driving other Turkish forces before them.
 One of these colums has captured Kermanshah, after defeating the Turks in a two days battle. s
 To the northwest another column is pressing southward and has ad- vanced from Saklziz to Near Bane. only 10 miles from the Mesopotamian frontier.
 Both these Russian armies are. threatening the main Turkish forces in Mesopotamia. retreating under the British pressure from Bagdad with. Mosul probably their objective. Y From Bane, the Russians are within 150 miles across country from Mosul in the Turkish rear. while the fast moving Russian force at Kermanshah, while still 186 miles from Samaria, constitutes, serious menace to the Turkish flank in this field of long dis tancess and rapid troop movements. 5 The only other way of retreat for the apparently outnumbered and out unanswered Turkish armies lies to the westward. where communications are lacking and the country difficult.
 sKermanahah Captured.
 Petrograd, March Is, via London The Turks are in retreat on the Cau- casus front, pursued by the Russians, the war office announces. Kerman- shah has been captured.
 Petrograd has been shut off from the outside world for several days and the foregoing despatch is the first word received from that source since the official statement of Monday. The absence of the war office reports gave rise to considerable speculation as to the situation in Russia. The official statement indicates a vigorous Russian offensive on a wider front ,lna Persia than had been pre- viously reported. The capture of kermanshah was reported unoficially from London yesterday.
