 The deposits which are in Texas are
 veins of small animal and vegetable
 matter which have reached semi petrified state. The minute animals
 years ago were entrapped by some natural cause, and the proper at mospheric conditions being present, today yields oils which have a large percentage of sulphur. In the Texan deposit there will be ten per cent. of sulphur in the finished product. The sulphur that was in the bodies of the animals thousands of years ago will be released with some of tho oil of their bodies and will be used to build up the bodies of humans of to- day. Thus millions of animals were entrapped by nature and held in re- serve for thousands of years for the benefit of tho human who succeeded in unlocking the secret of their bene-

 production of dye stuffs for which the United States has been clamoring will be another result of his experi- mentE.

Clause Referring to Unlimited Juris- diction of City Court is What fs Pre- venting Amendments From Passing.
 The legislative committee on cities and boroughs have not yet reported on the New Britain charter changes. but are expected to do % this week. Senate Leader Klett Is endeAv0rinE to have all reports in this week and indications are that he will succeed.
 A prominent member of the cities and boroughs committee stated today that the only thing which Is now hold ing up the New Britain charter amendments Is the clause referring to the city court. There has arisen some opposition to giving the court unlimited Jurisdiction. The opposi- tion is said to be based on the ground that certain committee members do not think the city court should have unlimited Jurisdiction in civil suits preferred by a person who Is a non- resident of New Britain.
 Senator Klett yesterday named a nominating committee, consisting of Senator c. l.. Spencer of Sufiield. Rep- resentative J. H. Glasson of Bristol and Representative Richard Covert of this city, to name a committee of five legislators to confer with the county attorney and to report in two weeks on some program for new county Jail.

LOCAL MAN MAKES
 DRUG DISCOVERY
E. E. Ste8emann to Work IChthyol Deposit in Texas

An announcement that is liable to have 8 far reaching influence upon the drug trade of the United States and is also q possible medium of the partial reformation of the production of dyestufIs was made today when Eugene E. stegemann, at present of Maple street. this city. stated that he had discovered . process whereby tho drug ichthyol may be extracted from deposits in this country and that numerous by-products in the form of synthetic oils would probably be ly take charge of a labratory at the scene of large deposit as company of New York capitalists has already been formed and plans are rapidly congealing 50 that the production of the drug in quantities will soon be an established part of American indus tries.
 MT. Stegemann has been working in this city under the fostership of the Dickinson Drug company and it is in New Britain that the important dis covery was made that through 8 pro- cess of polarization ichthyol could be produced from deposits in the United States. Heretofore there has been but one deposit known and that Is in the Tyrolean Alps. near Seefeld. Aus tria. It is probable that the local drug concern will take part in a scheme for the distribution of the product although plans are not com plete for this venture. &
 Ichthyol contains a large .Dercerta 1e of sulphur in it's composition which prevents the advantage of being readi- ly soluble or in fact already in solu- ton. It is to this state that the great healing powers of the drug are at

SOCIALISTS FAVOR ], VIGOROUS WARFARE E Set Aside Own Ideals for Welfare of All Russia
 f1

Petrograd. March 27. Via London. March 2s.-A group of socialist demo- crats has put out declaration which, as far as can be determined, fairly represents the attitude of the ma- 5oritys of that party toward the gov ernment. The declaration, which is signed by half a, dozen locally promi-. nent names, favors a vigorous prose- cution of the war, leaving the. de- mands of the socialist democracy in abeyance until the country is safe from the danger of a return of the monarchy. It says in part:
 The program of the new governs ment Is satisfactory to a sufficient extent. The present state of the bourgeoisie and capitalistic society no doubt precludes the possibility cf changing the present revolution in4p a socialist one.. Any effort in that dkn rection might precipitate a countst revolution and bring about the returA of the monarchy.

FAVOR RETURNING ROCHAMBEAU'S AID American Brigade for France
 Now Under Consideration

Washington, March 2S.-The war party in the presidents cabinet. sup ported by several leading members of the senate-rcpublicans as we'll as democrats-will be successful, it is be- lieved, in dispatching a small army to France soon after congress meets It's appearance side by side with the French and British troops-even if no more than brigade, which Is the present plan-would probably have a tremendous moral effect. William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury and son-in-1aw of the president, Is an enthusiastic advocate of this idea, which has suddenly taken hold of the imagination. The slogan is, Return Rochambeau's visit.''
 Opposition developed mainly in two quarters. Army opinion is impervious to the sentimental value of an imme- diate expedition. It holds that q hand full of American regulars could have no appreciable military effect. Tho mem bers of the general stan and many line officers are opposed to sending an army abroad, even after a formal dec- laration of war. for . long time. They believe that premature movement of troops would expose the weaknesses of the war department. They arc not at. all anxious to be exposed to the ruthless limelight of war and be picked to pieces by the experts of the French general staff.
 Secondly. opposition has developed among a group of senators who pro- fess to have special knowledge of the present sentiment of the middle and far west. They declare that such an expedition would antagonize public opinion. They say the people east of the Alleghenies are not at all in tune with the westerners. A very we'll known public man from the Middle West, a former member of the Sem ate. here today said that the national capital little realized how differently people felt in the Mississippi Valley. The sentiment there, he declared, even Is strong for the little group of wilful men, the twelve senators who filibustered against the armed ship bill.
 But the members of the presidents cabinet who are now openly for action against Germany-the same mexsa by the way, who forced an earlier call of congress-believe that they too. know something about the sentiment of the country They will urge sending brigade' or 70 Of the regular army to tho Waotarn Front immediately.

WAR TAX CUTS
STEEL PROFITS
s. MILLIONS
Second Quarter Earnings
Still Will be $780,
579, ,2O4.

New York, Aug. THE enormous
sums which the big industrial COM
panies Of the country will pay to the
government in4the form Of excess pro-
fits and income taxes was strikingly
illustrated yesterday when the Unit
ed States steel corporation issued its
financial statement for the second
quarter OF the year. Total earnings
for that period were reduced to $780,
679, ,204, after deducting $50 ,872,
or about 81 per cent. as the amount
which it,is estimated will be turned
over to the government.
An additional allowance Of $33,-
865.000 was set aside from earnings
of the first quarter of the year for war
taxes and excess profits. that amount
being hased.on the tax proposed early
In July, but not yet finally adopted.
But for the huge tax to be imposed
by the government total earnings Of
the steel corporation for the second
quarter. would have amounted to
144,498. .076. extending the previous
high record of the preceding quarter
by more than SS1, ,000, ,000.
The extent to which the corporation
is preparing for all eventualities lis
disclosed In the statement that during
the first six months of the current
year $43,000.000 was expended for
new construction and additions to its
many subsidiaries.

MENACED BY A
FOOD FAMINE
Reports Say Vegetables are

t Washington, Aug. Reports from
Budapest which have been received
by the food administration indicate
that the people of the provinces are
not far removed from famine condi-

vegetables, and that the vegetable
supply is limited. Meat is within the
reach of the rich only.
One reason for this condition is said
to be that as. far as possible the coun-
try provinces have been drained to
supply the needs Of the army in the
field and the large centers of Spopula-
tion. where trouble might be expected
il the food supply was too greatly
reduced.
Vendors, it is said, have been de-
,manding exorbitant prices for dry
wood and withered leaves on the
ground that they were vegetables

Conditions as given by the food adj

thorities sought to AK an arbitrary
