Neglect of Duty Charged Against
 IicutcnantS and Detectives As

New York, July 10.-Charges of neglect of duty in connection with the case of Ruth Cruger, who was murdered last February and her body buried in the cellar of Alfredo Coc- chi, have been preferred against the police lieutenants and two detective sergeants, which were to have been taken up by the higher police au- thorities. This action, however, was deferred when four of the accused men were served with subpoenas re- quiring them to appear before the grand jury. The only one not sum- moned was Lieut..

DO YOUR BIT FOR
 THE CHILDREN
 OF CONNECTICUT.

Five hundred orphaned, crippled and homeless children mot in Belgium or France, but right here in our own state heed imm ediate help. Con- ; necticut's response to the Red Cross, the Liberty Loan and other worthy appeals has been most. gratifying, but mean while the needs of the states own children under the care and supervision of this society are being overlooked and many more are being deprived of : good homes through lack of sufficient funds.
 Our letter of June 11th asked for $10,000, which must be ob- tained at once if we are to con- tinue the care of these children for whom we have already as- sumed definite responsibilities. Only $1,000 has been received, while millions of dollars have gone out of the state for other causes.
 Our work is largely depen- dent upon private donations, 5000 is the amount that is i'm mediately required for urgent needs.
 Have you done your bit for the children of Connecticut? If not, please do it now. A ~ contribution this day will save us the expense of writing again. Whatever you give will help.
 Yours very truly,

MARKET GOES DOWN
 TWICE DURING DAY
Liberty Bond Rumor and Steel
 Tonnage Report Hurt

Wall St.-Many substantial gains were reported at the opening of to- days operations. The improvement was attributed in part to the encour- aging crop prospects and over night developments at Washington. Trad ing was improved and broad, although equipments and war shares were most prominent. Rails, shippings, motors and specialties also figured in the rise at gains to 1 to ? points,
 U. s. Steel opened virtually un- changed, but soon rose a fracti on on the usual large transactions. This advantage was almOE imm ediately forfeited arregular tendencies being manifested elsewhere.
 The reversal of the first half hour coincided with a report of a proposed new government issue of 1-2 Der cent. bonds and resulted in very heavy offerings of the existing Liberty issue at par. Steel shares, oils, Central Leather, motors and Ohio Gas receded l to 7 points, some of those stocks falling below minimum quotations of the previous day. Standard rails and a few specialties, notably tobaccos followed an opposite course, showing increased strength. A brisk rally was in progress at midday leaders showing gains of 1 to 3 points. The general bond market was firm.
 1ndustrials reacted large fractions in the afternoon on the reduced ton- mage reported by the U. S. Steel cor poration for June and motors yielded to profit taking. Rails retained their gain and tobaccos supplanted early advances
 Closing - Highest prices were made all around in the dealings of the last hour. The closing was strong. Liberty bonds were extreme ly active very large lots changing hands at par. Sales some 100000 shares.

 HARRY SPANIEL
TRepublican A. p. Leased wlrel

IRepublican A. P. Leased WlreJ
 SAN ANGELO, Texas, Jan. 27.-In an effort to impeach the testimony of Harry J. Spanell, being tried here on a charge of killing his wife, Crystal Holland SpaneIl, at Alpine, Texas, the state today called Mrs. Margaret How e'l Butler, widow of Lieut.. Col. M. C.. Butler. Spanell also is under indict- ment for the killing of Butler, who with Mrs. Spanell. were shot to death in Spanelrs automobile on the night of July 20, last.
 Mrs. Buffers testimony given over the constant objection of defense coun- sel, was a repetition of her previous testimony, that Mrs. Spanell had ac- cOmpanied Col Butler and herself to the Butler room in the hotel Holland at Alpine a short time before the shoot ing, and that Mrs. Spanell had not been insulted there and that there had been TO quarrel.
 Spanell testifying Thursday in his own behalf, said his wife had been in- suited by Butler in bis rooms, that ihe shooting had followed his demand fOr an explanation from Butler. and that the shot which killed Mrs. Sranen was fired by Butler in an ensuing alterca ton. The only new feature ro Mrs bulAeE 5 lGSlllllOilN lIlS dIltl l-OtI. WAS the statement that Colonel Butler did not drink
 WIinam Pittman, nine years old, son of R. N. Pittman of Meridian, Miss. Was not permitted to testify Cn oh- jection of the defense that he was of irresponsible age Lee Harrington uf Alpine, a states witness, testified he vas at the Alpine jail with Sheriff 1-ilen Walton of Brewster county and heard Spanell tell the sheriff:
 I've killed Col. Butler.a my wife I'm ruined; they made me 10 it."
 Butler was a major in the army al the time of his death, but had just been named for promotion to be lieu tenant colonel. Sheriff WaIton tesi- fled Spanell told him he had killed I>Ltler and Mrs. Spanell. but they made him do it." He said he had not told the defense counsel about what Spanell said in jail because he did not think the evidence could be used. He Tad told the state attorneys, how ever, he said, but denied he was preiu- diced against the defendant.

Guns Send Greetino

LONDON. Jan. 27.-The British army, says Reuters cores spCndent at British headquarters in France, shared in the emperor's birthday in the Somme area in characteristic fashion.
 While the frozen snow says the correspondent, was beginning to glis- ten like crystals in the broadening dawn. the British guns thundered out a message, not of greeting but of death. A whirlwind bombardment rolled shrilly down the long northern and eastern lines The troops sldden- ly sprang from the British trenches and went across No Mans Land with that deliberate precision which has formed such a feature of their recent opera tions
 The enemy seems to have made but a pOOc fight of it. Although it IS too early yet to get full details of the affair heavy losses were inflicted on the enemy ard about 250 or them surrendered to the British. It is un- defstood the British casualties were very light The machine gun fire Ot the enemy was kept under control well ivy the British gunners.
 While the general features of the attack were similar to several recent operations. much qualification was ex- pressed by officers at the evidence ot spirit by the troops, who were un- affected by the terribly severe frost Many unhappy returns of the day has been the trench slogan all along the British front"
 The emperor of Germany, on the occasion of his birthday today, accord ing tc an official statement issued in Berlin and transmitted by Reuter- Amsterdam correspondent sent the following order to Dr. Solf, the colonial secretary:
 For thirty months the colonial troops in East Africa, cut off from all regular communication with home have beer fighting uninterruptedly against an enemy far superior in numbers and weapons Fighting in a tropical climate ard equipped only with the most simple means, the colonial troops under their brave com . manders have performed deeds which are worthy to rank beside the achieve ments of the forces at home.
 Under the most difficult conditions imaginable they have beaten in numer- ous battles and actions English, Bel gian and Portuguese forces placed in the field against the colonies, and for 8 long time carried war into the enemy's country. In the further course of the fighting they have relinquished to overwhelming superiority German soil only after the most stubborn re- sistance. and today they protect the German flag in East Africa.
 Whatever fate the Lord God may have in store for the small band of heroes, the Fatherland remembers with profound consciousness the sons fight ing in distant Africa I declare my imperial thanks and my high recogni- tiOn of the troops for their heroic per severance in an unequal battle charge you to communicate this order to my colonial troops as soon as possible"

 Upon tn" arrival Friday morning about II o'clock of Lieutenant Arms his force occupied the stone house." but a small adobe house a few feet from the lire eeeraed to offer d better position and the lieutenant and his men advanced and occupied the adobe under the fire of the Mexicans. Here his little force of eighteen men spent the night Friday, with sentinels pac- ing the line in front of the house No Snots were exchanged during the night, but the Mexicans renewed the attack at l:30 o'clock this morning It was continued several hours. with out apparent effect, when the lieu enant decided to cross the line Leav- ing ten men to guard the line, he took force of twenty men and entered Mexico at point some distance from the scene of the fighting.
