"SPREADEAGLING" /.
 RAPED BY COURT
Punishment to Officer May Innict,
 Says Judge Advocate

New York, Jan. 31.-Col Alexander s. Bacon. lawyer and officer in the United States army and National Guard, yesterday defended the course of his client, First Lieut.. Frank A. Spencer, Second New York Field Ar tillery, on trlal before court-martial at Fort Totten, L. l., for Spread eagling" five men of his (Spencer's) command The guardsmen were tied to gun carriage wheels for insubor- dination.
 "On your verdict in this case" de- clared Col. Bacon in summing up be- fore the court, which consisted of four officers of the militia, depends whether there shall continue to be discipline in the National Guard"
 Lieut. Spencer's counsel argued that any treatment that may have been accCrded the five privates was not in fact punishment; that it was merely discipline.
 we admit that no man can pun- ish another man except by a decree of the court. There is no army, however, without discipline.'
 Col. Bacon pleaded that Lieut.. Spencer is a lawyer, Harvard grad uate and that conviction would mean his retirement to private life as a cruel and inhuman man.
 Judge Advocate Hope said that the testimony showed that the tieing of the prisoners to the gun carriage wheels was punishment which no of- ficer had power to inf1ict.
 There is no evidence of an at tempted escape on the part of these men," declared the judge advocate. ."The fact that Lieut.. Spencer did not know. he was doing wrong when he inflicted this punishment is no ex- cuse for him.
 Capt. Robert N. Campbell testified that he told Lieut.. Spencer, on hear ing of the incident, that public opinion will not stand for this sort of thing.'' Capt. Campbell said that sort of punishment was 8 relic of baroarous ages.
 A number of witnesses. including Col. George A. Wingate, testified to the good reputation and efficiency o1 Lieut.. Spencer. The case will be re. stunned on Thursday when the tria. of Capt. Wilbur Wright, who is sim ilarly accused, will begin.

POLICEMEN ID ASK
 10 PER CENT. RAISE
Regulars Will Send Petition to
 Safety Board

At the next meeting of the safety board communication will be re- celVed from the regular policemen asking for a ten per cent. increase in pay. This was decided upon at meeting of the policemen yesterday at headquarters with Capt. T. w. Grace, then acting chief of the de- partment, presiding. The meeting was attended by Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth and Sergeant w. c. Hart. There was a large attendance. The men have already petitioned for a change in the grading so that they will receive the maximum pay of s3.30 per day at the end of three years, instead of at the end of the fifth year. Now they work for $2.75 per day for the first two years, re- ceive $3.02 a year for the next two years and, receive the $3.30 at the end "of the fifth year and thereafter dur ing their service.
 : Interpretation of the desired change is that it would apply only to the street men and would not affect the salaries of officers, such as chief. cap tain and sergeant. It is expected that they will ask for the same ratio of increase as the patrolmen. Traffic SuperV1SOr Clarence LanpneTe, -.+ De- tective A. J. Richardson and Police man H. c. Lyon were appointed a committee to attend the next meeting of the safety board. provided it is considered advisable tc be represent ed. -.. At yesterdays session there was also a discussion on the proposed po- lice pension plan. Under the present l system, there is a fund into which a percentage of liquor license fees are l turned. There is only one on the pen sion list now, Anson Johnson now
 operating a farm in the Catskill i mountain region, who was declared unfit for police duty and draws $500 | annually, one-half the amount he re- 1 ceived as patrolman.
 | The men yesterday expressed ap- proval of the plan to pay a certain percentage of their wages into a
 fund, if regulations arc made provid- ing that a man can apply for retire l ment at the end of a certain period o1 time. The pension fund plan has
 been discussed by the charter re
 vision committee and safety board.

LECTURE ON DRAMA.
Yale Professor Addresses WOD,nn's S
 Club on Norw egian Dramatists.

The drama was the subject of an interesting address before the Woln- ans club yesterday afternoon at the First Baptist church by Professor Ar thur H. Palmer of Yale. Professor Palmer spoke of the drama of Isoen, Bjornson and Stringberg, explaining that while the Norwegian, Isber, spe- cialized in the drama his fellow coun- tryman, Bjornson, exerted an influ- ence on literature and politics as well as contributing to the drama. In his works Isben attempts to teach the doc t-ines of sincerity. faithfulness, truthfulness and purity. Biorrson was the prophet of Norway, Profes- sor Palmer said. and was a leader of inc people, favoring wonlans rights and in his plays teaching the upbuild- ing of the country. 4f
 Stringberg, Professor Palmer de- ciared, was an unstab ble man, being an opponent to women and believing them inferior beings. In all his work is an underlying strain of melancholia He was directly in contrast to Isben and Bjornson.

GAVE EVIDENCE THAT PROVED
 IT TRUE
MT. Harold Martin of 455 Stanley St., .t Tells, New Britain Residents Start
 PenD1e

f
 ling Facts That Will Interest Many
 People.
 We'll said MT. Martin the Lax-a- Tone expert at the Economy New England Drug Co.,, s65 Main St., I am pleased to say that the New Year 1917 is surely going to hold great favors for many people I know in New Britain. I have in mind many many people that were great suffer CTS in 1916 that are now so we'll on their way to complete recovery that they tcannot contain themselves much longer and are anxious to tell their friends the good news and also tell the story of how they returned to health and happiness after many m onths or years of sickness, I am going to tell you said MT. Martin in these peoples own words of how they struggled, of how they despaired, and how they ! hoped against hope, of how, sickness depleted their earnings and also how after all these troubles and sorrows they found that road to health through Lax-a-Tone the remedy that has set the whole u. S. afire with en- 1 thusia sm. Among the many people |. that have found that road to health in New Britain, I take pleasure in 1 quoting MT. Martin who is a we'll known young man, he says:
 | It is nothing more than right that ] I should come to the front and tell l of the wonders that Lax-a-Tone has 1 done for me as I am sure that my 1 statement may convince my friends | and acquaintances that this remedy
 must have the merit or it would not have accomplished what it did for me, for a long time I have suffered
 with headaches and severe back
 aches, felt sore and lame all over, I l seemed to have cold that I could not break up, I was getting very ] much discouraged because I could get i no relief and as you are aware that /! this dragging Kind of sickness makes
 you feel bad all over. Well to make l long story short I began to use
 Lax-a-Tone and now I can say that
 I am entirely we'll, I am just feeling 1 fine and am only to glad to tell
 about it. &
 Now dear reader do not discourage l yourself needlessly if you are suf- ferer from constipation, indigestion, ] dyspepsia, sour acid stomach, with gas l and bloat, feel tired out, nervous and
 run down, have thin blood and get
 chilly and clammy, catch cold easily
 and feel that you can not stand it
 any longer just go down to the Econ-
 omy New England Drug Store, 365
 Main St., and see the Lax-aTone
 man. He will sell you a bottle of
 this wonderful remedy, tell you how
 to take it and just what it will dc
 and will also be frank enough to tell l you what it won't do. fH
