Hartford, Conn, Sept. 16.-Chief of
Detectives Frank Santoro created a
lively scene this afternoon when he
broke up a meeting of the Peoples
Council for Democracy in Socialist
Hall, at which Mrs. Annie Rile Hale
was throwing verbal bricks at the
present war and its conduct.
For the most part the audience
cheered as Sanford and his aids gave
orders to the people in the hall to
disperse quietly. and to Mrs. Hale
and Chairman Whitehead to accom-
pany him to police headquarters.
Chief Santoro's interruption came
at a point where Mrs. Hale was say
ing:
This modern war-particularly with
the method by which it is being
waged-is the most archaic, most
wasteful and most stupid method of
settling anything"
The meeting was held in Socialist
Hall only after every theater owner
in Hartford had refused to have his
house used
THE city of Hartford is not going
to be used by any person or bunch
of persons to cast slurs upon the en-
trance of the United States into the
war. at least not while I hold my
job" said Chief Santoro.

PLAN
FOR WAR BODY
House Republicans Give Up
Effort to Form Expendi-
lures Committee.

After a series of efforts to provide
a committee on war expenditures to
work with the Administration, House
Republicans have abandoned the plan.
Whether it will be taken up again
minority leaders refuse to say. Pre-
cedent favors such a committee. they
declare. and so does the example of
some of the allies.
What Representative Gilett. of
Massachusetts, terms "oversensitive-
ness on the part of President Will
son. is assigned by Republican lead
ers as the reason for dropping the
plan at this time. Mr.. Gillett, who
has been in Congress twenty-four
years. declares the committee will in
the end be found absolutely neces-
sary.
Here is what we have done in the
last few weeks in the way of handing
over money TO the executive depart-
ments." he said yesterday. without
making any provision to supervise its
expenditure:
Given s2JOOOOO 200 for war revenue.
Given s1s2.0cO.OOO for food control.
"Given authority to issue 81, $751;
Ooo. coo in bonds and certificates.
Each time the minority tried TO
persuade the Democratic majority
that the House should retain some
supervision over expenditures. Each
time all amendments were blocked by
points of order. the chair holding the
majority point well taken and ruling
