DIDN'T FIND WILSON HERE.
But Kennedy Succeeded in Getting
 Berth for Night.

This mornings session of the police court was short and sweet In contrast with the long drawn out affairs of the last few days. There were three cases. one of which was tried in chambers. Waclaw Stavercz was al- leged to have struck Stella Pekowski, an eight-year-old child. Judge John H. Kirkham found him guilty and imposed a fine of $1 and costs. The case of William MoNulty, charged with non-support, was continued on his agreement to support his wife and family, and judgment was suspended in the case of John Kennedy. charged with being drunk.
 Kennedy was arrested by Police man Joseph Kennedy, who found him dodging about some trees on Elm street. When the policeman ques- toned him. he said that he came from Philadelphia and was looking for President Wilson. The state en- tered nolle in the continued case of Patrick Smith, charged with drunk enness, as he was taken to the Town Home yesterday for observation. It is thought that he is insane.

THE MASSES AGAIN.
 KEPT FROM MALLS
August Number Held Up Until
 Appeal Is Decided

New York, Aug. 7-The injunction granted to the publishers of The Masses by Judge Learned Hand 'dl- recting the postmaster, Thomas G. Patten, to forward through the mails the August number of the Masses. was stayed yesterday by an order handed down by Judge Charles M. Hough, of the United States court of appeals. By Judge Hough's order the August number of the Masses will be barred from the mails until the cir cult court of appeals passes on the case, which will not be before October at the earliest.
 Judge Hough heard argument on Thursday of last week at Windsor, Vt., on the question of staying Judge Hands injunction. Earl B. Barnes. assistant district attorney, who ap- peared before Judge Hough for the postmaster, argued that if the August number of the Masses were permit ted to go through the mails the dam age thereby done to the governm ent would be beyond repair should the government lose on the appeal. Judge Hough, in the opinion which was filed yesterday in the circuit court of appeals, agreed with this contention of Mr. Barnes and decided to keep The Masses out of the mails until the appeal could be heard and decided.
 Judge Hough says that the action of the publishers of The Masses "is not against the sovereign, technica lily, |" but Is in the nature of suit between private parties.
 "In respect of the mails the United States is certainly not common car- rier," declares Judge Hough. Ut is pursuing a high governmental duty, and it Is at least argueable whether any constitutional government can be judicially compelled to assist in the dissemination and distribution of something which proclaims itself rev o1utionary', which exists not to reform but to destroy the rule of any party, clique or faction that could even lip service to the Constitution of the United States.

TREASON CIRCULARS. APPEAR IN NEWPORT
Men Urged to Defy Draft Law
 and Refuse to Fight

Newport, R. l., Aug. 7.-some per son or persons on treason bent have been scattering seditious circulars about Newport within the last few days urging men to resist the draft, disobey all laws and refuse to fight even if called into service. The cir culars contain arguments to snow that even an invasion of the United States by Prussian armies would be pre1er- able to war and that the people or the United States would be no worse OH under German rule than they are now.
 The circulars have been found m the bath houses at Easton's Beacn anu a few have been scattered about the streets. They have been put Whele thev could be found by United States soldiers and seamen.
 Both circulars bear the address No' 20 East 125th street., New York C'tS' One is signed "No Conscription League No 20 East 125th street, and the o'"- CT contains this information:
 'aThis leaflet can be ordered rom Mother Earth, No. 20 East 12oth St. New York city, N. Y., at twenty-hVe cents a hundred; $2 a thousand.
 The one from Mother Earth IS headed:
 ''why Go to War? Refuse to XIII or Be Killed" and it says, in part:
 What will you do now that war has been declared in America? You don't want war and you didn't ask the President or any one else to declare war.
 "'Yes', you will say. but what can do if war is declared? What will happen to me If the President and the authorities order me to fight and de- fend my country and I refuse? What would happen to me and my family if the Germans or Japanese came over and invaded our country?'
 Well, let us suppose for a. moment that the Germans or any other nation did INVADE us. You don't think they would eat us, do you? They wouldn't make slaves of us, would they? NO, you say, but they would set up their government and their customs We'll, suppose they did. would it be any worse than our Amer jean government?
 The other circular is headed "No Conscription!" and is in very much the same strain as the one given in part above. , It says, among other things:
 "The No Conscription League has been formed for the purpose Of en- couraging conscientious objectors to affirm their liberty of conscience and to make their objection to human slaughter effective by refusing to- par ticipate in the killing of their fellow men. Our platform may be sum- marized as follows:
 "We oppose conscription because we aref information alists, anti-militarists and opposed to all wars waged by cap italistic governments.
 we will fight for what we choose to fight for; we will never fight nm- plv because we are ordered to fight.
 I've will resist conscription by every means in our power, and we will sus- tain those who for similar reasons re- fuse to be conscripted.'

MERIDEN INCREASES
 SALARY. OF MAYOR
Common Council Votes to Boost Sti- pend From $1 ,oOO to $2,5OO Despite Republican Opposition.

Meriden, Aug. 7.-Some radical changes in city affairs were proposed and adopted by the democratic ma jority in the city council last night but not without opposition, especially on the resolution to increase the mayors salary from $1, 900 to $2,5OO. The republican members wanted that proposition tabled for at least months deliberation but they were overridden.
 The salary resolution came up just after the majority had passed a reso- lution making the city tax due and payable semi-annually instead of ar- nuelly. Councilman Arthur F. Eggle ston expressed the opinion that it would be unwise to pass either of the resolutions at this time and he start ed a debate which brought the demo> crates to their feet in defense of the measure.
 The resolution which disturbed the peaceful trend of the meeting read as follows: Resolved, That the salary of the mayor shall be $2,5OO per year, payable monthly from and after the first Monday of January, 1918"
