 SALOON QUARREL

Leopold Fiehtl. of Barnum avenue, Who caused the death of Balsnty Jan- kowsky in an East Side saloon October 20 last, was fined $500 and costs in the Criminal Superior court, today, where he pleaded guilty to & charge of manslaughter. Judge Gardiner Greene, ih passing sentence, said there were circumstances in the case which, convinced him it would not conduee to the public welfare to lock the accused up.
 Fichtl with his brethsF-in-1aw, Cas- par Schick, went into the saloon on the evening of October 20, Without provocatien, Tony Tomasowiez attack ed them both with club which he seized from behind the bar, knocking Schick unconscious and inflicting a severe scalp wound on Fichtl.
 Fiehtl ran from the saloon, blood flowing freely, into a restaurant near by, for the purpose of washing up. He saw a knife which he picked up, and returned to the saloon. Jankow- sky was leaning against the bar, and when he saw Bichtl ceming with a knife in his hand he picked up a beer glass. Fichtl, according to the state ment made to the court, supposed Jan kowsky was the man who attacked and was about to throw the glass, and running up plunged the knife into his neck. Jankowslky expired before he could be rushed to the hospital,

 BEING H|NDERED

Following cut his practice of de- p1eting the ranks of local machinists to the detriment of the production of war munitions for the United States government in local factories, it is reported today that Samuel Lavit, bus mess agent tor the Machinists' union. has assisted R. B. Chealman, an agent of the Southern railroad, in securing 76 machinists wfe will leave this city shortly to work in the shops of the railread company,
 Chealman stated this morning that he had been sent north by the com paHy to secure the services of 1oo maehinists. He added that he was go- ing te secure some in this city and pressed for the exact number, said that he would take 75.
 Chealman spent some time this morning at Machinists' headquarters in conference, it is understood, with Lavit. During the past few weeks, it is understood, several hundred ma chinists have left this city through LaWit's agency: Just how long this may go on, without absolutely erip- bling the intuition plants in the ser- vice of the government, is not known

FIFTY TONS OF SUGAR ARRIVED
 IN CITY TODAY

Arrival of 100, ,OOo pounds of sugar in this city, today. gave promise of instant relief to hundreds of local fam flies that have gone without sweetep- ing for their food the past several weeks.
 The shipment came by boat from New York, and was consigned to sev- eral local wholesale houses. There were in all 1000 bags, containing 100 pounds each. and when the cargo was discharged at the docks the sight of such a large quantity of substance 50 scarce almost caused a. panic. Some of the wholesalers, expecting large shipments for themselves, thought that the consignment today was theirs, and the fortunate ones who | received the supply had a lively time trying to prove their claims to it. Other firms which actually did get part of the shipment were backward about admitting 1t, this noon, fearing | that if 1t became known that they had received 8 big consignment, there would be, a rush that they would be unable to cope with.
 The arrival of the 100000 pound shipment is regarded as only fore runner, now, of other large quantities expected to reach here at any time, If Is believed that regular supplies will bs available within a short while,

Congress
 nquires
 Into War
General Crozier States We Can Produce Enough Artillery to Supply Our Army Labor Question.

Washington, Dec. 12 - h. quiry by Congress into the gen. eral conduct of the war was begun today with investiga- ton by the Senate military committee of the war depart ment's work in arning and equipping the American forces.
 Maj. Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance, said an obstacle in the early work was that the military policy defined in the national defense act of 1916 contemplated a force of one million men to be raised in five years.
 ''It is apparent" he said, that the original program for 100000 men did not contemplate our participation in the war. We compressed the five yCd4 P1 ISAkA 41tO OAS y6hr W4cA II immediately became apparent that the 100000 program would not do."
 Preparation of estimates and actual appropriation by congress, the gen. eral said, caused further delay.
 Referring to the ''cost plus 10 per cent" contracts, Gen. Crozter said the system had worked out fairly well. "
 twill the American army be able to supply itself with sufficient aFtil- lery7" asked Senator Reed.
 '~rhe indications are that we will be able, with the assistance of England and France," Gen. Crozisr replied,
 "How long will 1t take to catch up on this side," asked Senator Reed.
 "We shall be fairly well caught ur on the most important things by next summer" said the general.
 That he has Q plan prepared to sub- init to congress with Secretary Bak- CTS consent, to deal with. the muni- ton labor question, was stated by Gen. Crozier, but he declines to re- veal it's scope.

Despite the fact that the public utilities commission of the state is trying to decide whether or not the CoAnseticut Co is justified in charg- ing 8 six cent fare President storrs of the company stated at the hearing yesterday that no doubt the company officials would soon file petition re- Qlesting the privilege of a greater in-' crease.
 The added increase would be, effee- tive on all. lines in the state, 1nclud- ing this city, President storrs point ed sut that the increase from five to six cents was not as successful as had been anticipated and that the com panF was not deriving the revenue it had hoped for.
 Some ef the reasons for the increase from i've to six cents given by the company officials were the increased cost of commodities necessary to op- eratieH and the fact that the trolley men had demanded a nine hour day.
