SHOOTS FAITHLESS
Wife and LOVER
New York Broker Finds Couple in
Back Room Of Cafe

New York, July 26.-Anthony Max
imino, 26 years old, of 41O Ocean
avenue, Brooklyn, walked into the sa-
loon of Bernard Schmitt, in 2S2 Tomp-
kins avenue, Brooklyn, late yesterday
and ordered glass of beer. AS he
leaned against the bar and drank it
he heard the voices of man and
woman in the back room. He listened
closely for a moment, and then said:
THAT sounds like my wife,
Some guy and a dame in there"
replied the bartender. II don't know
who they are"
I'm going to see,' said Maximino,
and walked to the back room and
threw open the door.
When Maximino stepped into the
back room he saw his wife, Mrs. Cath
crime Maximino, rs, at table in a
corner with oliver Sullivan Of 619
Greene avenue, Brooklyn, a member
of the brokerage firm Of Sullivan &
Reinecke of 20 Beaver street Max
imino stood on the threshold for a
moment staring at them. Neither saw
him.
Suddenly Maximino drew a revolver
and began firing. The first shot hit
the wall above Sullivan's head, and
the broker and the woman leaped to
their feet. Before Sullivan could es-
cape Maxtmino fired again, the bullet
smashing into Sul1ivan's forehead.
The broker plunged forward over the
table, and as he did so Maxim1no sent
another bullet through his heart.
Meanwhile Mrs. Maxtmino ran to an
other door, and was trying to open it
when her husband turned on her. He
fired one shot, which struck her in the
neck, and then ran from the saloon.
Schmitt and his bartender rushed
into the room. Schn1itt teHphoned
to Police Headquarters while the bar
tender started after Maximino. who
kept the man back by brandishing his
New Britain herald., 1917-07-26

revolver. Maximino forced the bar
tender to back into the saloon, and
then, waving his gun, started on run
down Tompk1ns avenue, pursued by a
crowd attracted by the shots. After
he had run a block he was overtaken
by Patrolmen James Stern and Martin
Brachin, who had to use their clubs
before they could subdue him. Max
im1no was locked up in the Gates
avenue station charged with murder.
Other policemen who went to the
saloon summoned DR.. Cohen of the
st. Johns Hospital, who said Sullivan
had probably been killed by the bull
let that struck him in the forehead
Mrs. Maximino was taken to the hos
pital, where it was said she had no
more than a fighting chance for life
Sullivan was 20 years old, married
and had one child. He was the son Of
Joseph P. Sullivan, a Brooklyn lawyer.

ANARCHY GREATEST
AMERICAN DANGER
Former Ambassador to Germany
Notes Such Tendency

Syracuse, N. Y, July 26.-"The
great danger in the United States is
tho possibility of anarchy" declared
Or. Andrew D. White, former ambas-
sador' to Germany yesterday. He ex-
pressed the belief also that new form
of government will not be established
in Germany, that it will always be a
military nation and cannot be starved
out.
IT deeply regret that war has come"
he said, but I hope we shall do our
duty. The future danger here is an
archy, T think. A tendency toward
anarchy is observable at present and
many people are becoming i'm patient
of the restraints of a republican gov
eminent.
Il rejoice at the spirit of our young
men. IT augurs well for our military
organization.
My hope is that after the war we
shall continue TO keep a well organ
lied army. such as those of Switzer-
land and France We have begun the
organization of such an army In view
of the possibility of premediated at
tack from abroad and anarchy at
home, we cannot afford to be without
a trained citizen force. What an
archy at home means can be seen in
the news from Russia.
America has been disliked in some
European countries because of the
Monroe Doctrine. Our example of
free Cove rnment too, has aroused re-
sentiment which may fame into an at
tack for which we must be prepared
$50 one can foresee what may come
from this war. But I do not expect a
new form of government in Germany
Tor the Germans are attached to the
Hohenzollerns. l doubt that the Aus
TRANS care much for the Hapsburgs
But Germany has always believed in
the Hohenzollerns. OF course, if the
war lasts long enough the German
New Britain herald., 1917-07-26

people may become disappointed in
their present ruler and demand fur
ther reforms. But do not look for a
republic in Germany. The Germans
consider their form of government
better than ours. They believe that
hostile nations are on all sides of them
and that Germany has no bulwark ex-
cept it's army 1t will always be a
military nation.
Germany feels it has not had its
share of the good things of the world.
1t wants what it did not get in the
Moroccan matter and in South Africa
and what it has been deprived of in
China
1.-THE true wisdom would have been
in being honest about it's aspirations
and in working peacefully to gain
full share of commerce.
"There Is little chance of starving
Germany into submission although the
people may become so uncomfortable
thew will want to stop the war.
Il think the Kaiser was led to be-
lieve at the beginning Of the war
that Great Britain would not inter-
fere because Of the Irish trouble. Inc
Kaiser thoght a better time to attack
Russia and France would never come
again.
1.-THE Kaiser always showed a friend
ly feeling toward America until the

British Lose "a Vessels -Three
Less Than 1900 Tons

London, July 26. Twenty-one
British vessels of more than 1900
tons each and three less than 1900
tons each were sunk last week by
mines or submarines, according to
the weekly admiralty report on ship
ping losses. One fishing vessel was
lost. The admiralty's statement fol-
loks:

including 2 previously. 81; under L.

British fishing vessels sunk, l."
The announcement shows an in
crease of seven vessels of more than
i 500 tons sent to the bottom. as
compared with the report of last
week, when fourteen were sunk. In
the smaller category the loss is one
fewer than reported last week, and
there was a falling off by seven in
the number of fishing vessels sunk.
The British merchant cruiser Of
way was torpedoed and sunk in
northern waters on July %. Ten men
we're killed. The rest on board were
saved This announcement was made
today.
The Otway was a steamer of 12,-
OFT tons gross, built in Glasgow in
1909 She was 535 feet in length, 63
feet beam and 81 feet depth. She
was owned by the Orient Steam Nav
igation company Of Glasgow, but was
taken into the admiralty service.

REPORT ON PRICE OF FLAGS.

Washington, July 26.-Reporting to
the senate today on it's investigation Of
the sudden rise in price of American
flags at the time the country entered
the war, the federal trade commission
expressed the opinion that some legis-
lation should protect the public
against unreasonable prices resulting
not only from commercial agencies
but from abnormal conditions as we'll.
When the wave of patriotism swept
the country prices of flags doubled
and tripled, and senators charged that
flag makers and merchants simply
were "gouging" the public.

MUN|TI0N WORKERS
GO WITHOUT DRINK
Thirty-FiVe Saloons Near Bliss
Plant Ordered Closed

New York, July 26.-The liquor Ii
censes of 35 saloons and three hotels
in the Bay Ridge section of Brook
lyn were yesterday suspended for the
period of the war by the state de-
partment of excise, acting for the
war department at Washington.
All of the places affected are with
in certain radius of the E. w. Bliss
Munition Works. now filling contracts
for the government, and the Morse
Drydock and Repair company's plant,
which is engaged in repairing dam
aged German liners confiscated at
the beginning Of the war.
The action of the excise depart
ment came out Of a clear sky, as far
as the liquor dealers were concerned.
Until they received their notices yes
terday, few of them had any idea
that such a move was contem plated.
The suspension of licenses went into
effect at once. Last night police of
the Fourth Avenue station patrolled
the places affected to see that no
alcohol was sold. The saloonkeepers
may continue to sell soft drinks if
they choose, but hard STUFF is
barred until peace is declared.
For some time past, it is said,
workmen of the munition and ship
repairing works have been drinking
heavily at the saloons of the district.
Work of great necessity to the gov
eminent is under way at the plants,
and the decentralization caused by the
sale of liquor became so great that it
was decided that a stop should be
put to 1t at once.
Each saloonkeeper in the affected
district received this personal letter
yesterday from Herbert S. Sisson,
state commissioner of exise
You will find inclosed herein
copy of the order issued by the state
commissioner of exise and approved
by the governor, pursuant to the pro-
visions of Chapter 821 of the Laws
of 1917. This order suspends the
rights Of holders of liquor tax certifi-
Gates in a part of the Borough of
Brooklyn, County of Kings, City of
New York. boundaries of which are
described in the order.
1.-The certificate held by you for
traffic in liquors at the above ad-
dress is one of those affected. Under
the provisions of the order, during
the continuation of the war with Ger
many, you are forbidden to sell al
coholic liquors under any certificate
now held on which may be hereafter
attained within the territory de-
scribed in the ORDER
Most of the saloonkeepers affected
are members of the Bay Ridge Liquor
Dealers association. This body will
hold a meeting shortly to protest
against the order.
