BOY BURGLAR IN !. SUPERIOR COURT
 GIVEN PROBATION
Youthful Culprit Victim of Company Treated Leni-
 ently by Judge Reed.

Amos Annunzio, a lad of 15, was arraigned before Judge Reed in the suerior court today charged with bur glary. The youth, who looks as if he could not pick up a hammer, so small and fragile and delicate is his stature, was accused of breaking into a store and stealing merchandise. Public De- fender DeForest appeared for the boy, stating that his crime was largely due to the company he was with and that he would go back to work and help his parents support their large family consisting of seven children.
 Mir. Etrio, an Italian, also pleaded for the boy stating that he knew him for years and assured the court that if the boy were placed in his hands, he would be responsible for his ac- tions. Judge Reed looked at the child ish face of the lad and asked him if he would promise to be good and earn an honest living instead of stealing He advised him to do and act just as Mir. Etrio suggested.
 The boys answers to all queries were "Yes. sir" He was placed in custody of Mir. Etrio and Judge Reed adjourPed the case until the May term of court, in order to give the boy a chance to show the court that he , would keep within the law.

DIDN'T EXPECT
 TO BE DRIVEN FROM ST. MIHIEL
Huns Had Settled Down, Fixed Comfortable Qaur-
 ters, Built Beer Gardens.

With the American Army on the Lorraine Front Tuesday, Sept. IT. (By tho Associated Press)-The Ger mans apparently never expected to be busted from the St. Mihiel salient. They had done much work in build- ing shelters and beer gardens, and about the Souleveie farm the country had been made to look like a prosper ous German neighborhood, with re- sorts where townspeople miGAt spend their holidays.
 Little club houses wee built and equipped not wholly in keeping with front line operations. The dugouts and shelters of the officers were fitted almost luxuriously, scSne of the larger ones being fitted with bath tubs and running water and lighted by electric ity. Outside of many of them were little summer houses where the occu- pants were accustomed to sit and drink beer.
 When the Americans advanced they captured a German mess sergeant who had been instructed to pack up and leave, but who had underestimate ed the speed of the American progress. He was carrying a quantitS of beer and cheese, and when he saw the Americans approaching, he did not run, but busted himself like a bar tender and received them standing behind table where beer and cheese were ready for consumption.

FIND SOLDIERS
 PAPERS IN GRIP IN THE WEST END

Mystery surrounds the finding of a val!se in Railroad avenue near West avenue. The leather bag was broken and contained some clothing and reg istration papers showing the probable owner is Abraham E. Burhance, of Canaan, Conn.,, had been inducted in to the aramy of the United States, Aug. 26 and left his home for Camp Greenleaf, Lytle, Ga, on Aug. 2S.
 The grip was found yesterday by
 Joseph L. Friedman of 59 West avenue, who turned it over to the police who are now Investigating the matter.
 According to Captain E. O. Cronan, the matter needs unravelling. The man left his home August 2S and his grip With his important army papers and other articles of value was found as late as yesterday afternoon
 If the man arrived at Camp Green leaf, he would need his papers to be properly taken into the service and if he did not possess them the authori- ties would send out a countrywide query for them. No notice has been received by the Bridgeport police from either >Burhance or the federal authorities, and they are now making an investigation to find out if the man arrived at the camp and how. he came to lose his valise and not report the matter.

MACHINISTS 60 BACK TO WORK
 THIS MORNING
Strike of Munitions Makers Ended at Meeting by Vote
 of 1,165 to 35.
Tuesday, Sept. IT

When the factory whistles blew this morning it was definitely known that the machinists' strike had end ed, for the men returned to work and the order issued by the President or the United States was obeyed to the letter.
 In some of the shops there was de- lay because erstwhile strikers had to be reinstated upon the payrolls as the factories had struck their names off when they remained away from their work more than three days. This action was taken in accord with regulations laid down years ago and in order that the draft boards may be notified of men leaving employment for which they were exempted from military service.
 At the mass meeting held by the machinists at the State street Casino yesterday afternoon it was voted 1,165 to 35 to obey the order of President Wilson and return to work this morn l ing. The 35 malcontents stood pat and declared they would prefer to be inducted into the army immediately rather than return to work under conditions they declared were intoler- able.
 Another action taken of the meet l ings held yesterday was the formation 1 of a new labor bod. to be known as the American Labor Party. This or ganization is to be separate from the American Federation of Labor, which body the leaders of the late strike declares did not stand by them when they were struggling for their rights They also said that Samuel Gompers the national labor leader had fallen down."
 Another meeting will be held at the Machinists' Club tonight to perfect or ganization of the new labor body. A committee of five has been appointed and this committee will act on resolu- tions and nominate candidates for State Senators.
 Men returning from points in the west as well as nearby territory re- port that the bars are up against machinists from Bridgeport and that it is impossible for a man from Bridgeport who has been a striker tC get a job elsewhere.
 One thousand of the men employed at the Liberty Ordnance plant mer yesterday to hear an address by Cor. poral Mauvet, of the French army and at the conclusion of his addres. each one contributed one cent witt which money a cablegram was dis patched to General Pershing con graduating him and men of all rank in the American Army in the field upon the brilliant chapters of histor, they have written and assuring then of 100 per cent. output of munitions

WHOLESALE FIRM GIVES LARGE SUM TO AVOID TROUBLE

Hartford, Sept. 18-The Federal today announced the largest contribu- tion thus far made to the Red Cross as a settlement of charges of violating the Food Administration regulations. Miner, Read & Tullock, wholesalers of New Haven, with branches in Mer- fden and Bridgeport, were believed in many cases to have averaged selling i've profits.
 The Federal Fool Administrator, af- ter a careful investigation of the mat ter and after consultation with the Enforcement Division in Washington decided to accept the contribution of $5,000, voluntarily offered and not to proceed further with the case.
 In letter to MT. Scoville, MT. Tul- lock said: "In these serious wal times, I do not feel that we ought tc take advantage of these extra profits and therefore, I take pleasure ir enclosing a check for $5,000, payable to the American Red Cross. This amount, I believe, is far in excess o1 any extra profits that have been made theless, we want you to realize that w. mean to do what is right and we have arranged things so that in the future our salesmen will understand tha goods are not, to be charged at more than the limit placed by the Fooc Administrator

PRESIDENT ASKS REINSTATEMENT OF ALL STRIKERS
Wednesday, Sent. IS

Manufacturers in Bridgeport have United States to Ie-instate the strfk- ing machinists, not to re-hire them. This curt command was forwarded to this city by the country's chief exec utive upon receipt by him of a tele- gram sent to the White House by the strike committee of the Bridgeport Machinists union charging that the manufacturers were refusing to re- instate the men who were out on strike.
 Alpheus Winter, examiner for the National War Labor Board and the representative of that body in Bridge port, received a telegram from his office last night directing him to see that the men were given back their old positions in the factories and not
 Ire -employed.'
 According to the business agent of the Machinists' union the only thing which will prevent another strike is the quick compliance with the rein
 stating order issued by the Presi" dent. Manufacturers insist that there is no discrimination shown the men who were out on strike, but that there is some delay naturally owing to the fact that the entire system of book keeping had been disrupted when the
 men went out on strike.
 President Wilson's telegram follows: My attention has been called to tho fact that several thousand machinists
 and others employed in connection with war industries in Bridgeport, Conn.,, engaged in a strike to obtain further concessions because they were not satisfied with the decision rem dered by the umpire appointed under
 authority conferred upon the National War LabC, board. On the 18th in- stant, I communicated with the work
 men engaged in the strike, demanding that they accept the decision of the
 arbitrator and return to work and
 stated the penalties which would be | imposed if they refused to do so. "The men at a meeting voted to re-
 turn to work this morning, but l am informed by their representatives that
 the manufacturers refused to re-
 instate their former employees. In
 view of the fact that the workmep
 have so promptly compiled with m.
 directions, I must insist upon the re
 instatement of all these men. WOODROW WILSON."-,

PRESIDENT TURNS DOWN AUSTRIA'S
 PEACE PROPOSAL

Washington. Sept. 17-President Wilson last night fiatly rejected the Austro-Hungarian governments pro- posal for peace barley.
 His reply is perhaps without a pre- cedent in history. It was made pub lie within half an hour after the Swed . ish Minister delivered the official text of the note to the State Department.
 The Presidents answer was issued in the form of a statement from Sec retary of State Lansing which read as follows:
 q am authorized by the President to state that the following will be the reply of this government to the Au- stro-Hungarfar note proposing an un- official conference of belligerents:
 ssThs government of the Unite1 States feels that there is only one re- ply which 1t can make to the sugges- tion of the Imperial Austro-Hungar- ian government.

SPANISH GRIP IS
 SPREADING FAST
State Health Department Reports Spread of My
 sterious Disease.

Spanish influenza. that mysterious and rapidly spreading illness, has started an offensive in Connecticut, and the State Board of Health off, ficials think it quite possible that the | disease will become epidemic through | out the state within a few days. The disease first occurred on this state al | the Naval Training stations in New London, and within three days the number of cases has grown to several hundred, and is said still to be spread i ing rapidly.
 ! No occasion for alarm was sug. | gested provided that people take 1 proper precautions to avoId the dis ease and to care for it when it de- velops. The great danger is the de- velopmept of pneumonia after pre- mature returning to work.
 The malady is peculiarly contag- ious, a very large percentage of those exposed to the disease becoming ill The incubation period Is about from one to two days. The rapidity of the development of Spanish influenza is shown by the fact that after only about ten days of prevalence the dis ease has reached thousands of people in tho United States.
 Dr. John T. Black of the State Health Department said yesterday 1 that the disease is usually of about three days duration, although many
 patients become prostrated with the disease q second time when they have
 practically recovered from the first at. tack About per cent. of Spanish
 influenza cases develop into pneumo- mia, most of the pneumonia coming
 from the recurrent cases. In New London one death has been reported
 from pneumonia which developed
 from this disease. A few cases have
 been reported from other Connecticut
 localities, including New Haven and Manchester, and Mir Black said yes i terday that other towns would prob
 ably report cases in the next day o; two.
 l Because of the rapid spreading o1 the disease quarantine is practically impossible. but Dr. Black declared that it is the patriotic duty of every. one who is taken with the disease tt isolate himself or herself at once Public gatherings held indoors should
 be avoided. as we'll as contact witt suspected cases. The disease usually
 makes itself known very suddenly, tht
 victim often being taken i'll with chills and q violent headache On the stree or at work The symptoms are very similar to those of ordinary grip, anG the health officials regard the disease as grip in epidemic form. The health IaRcia1s esnecja1lV desire fO em ni,a si 1e

inc of the ,ceedinars death.

time of the NcaEdinaFs death.
 In 1894 Pope Leo XIII. appointed him a private chamberlain, and his title then became monsignor. In 1891 he vas appointed vicargeneral of the archdiocese of New York; in 1892 domestic prelate of Pope Leo; ill 1895 apostolic prothonotary, and in the same year auxiliary bishop under Archbishop Corrigan of New York. In this capacity Bishop Farley took upon himself a great burden of the work i ir the archdiocese. His influence and popularity increased steadily and upon Archbishop CCrrigan's death in 1902, the clergy and the bishops were prac- ticalls' unanimous in asking for the | appointment of Bishop Farley as his successor, He was appointed, and | from the first he proved Himself a 1 master in church government. He was a, man of peace and gentle ] ness, but his success in governing the | largest Roman Catholic diocese in
 America involved an executive firm
 ness which was also lis when need 1 ed.
 i He was the spiritual head of nearly
 one and one ha,f millions of souls and
 dnder his jurisdiction were nearly as | many different nationalities as are i found anywhere Tn the Roman Catho- l lie world. He was an accomplished | linguist able to converse with mos;
 of his foregn people in their own | tongue.
 | It was rather as a manager of men | and money that the Cardinal Arch bishop ranked highest. He displayed
 great vigor in carrying Gut his plans for the founding of Catholic institu- tions, and in fostering those already established. Under his administra- tion six or seven new churches werE
 built in the New York diocese every
 year, home missions were extended
 and phenomenal gains made in dona-
 tions for all church purposes. Wher
 he went to Rome, as he did every \oth-
 CT year, he carried with him an of
 fering of Peters pence that has beer
 said to be larger than from any other
 diocese in the world.
 On the occasion of the 10th ami
 versary of Archbishop Farley's ordin ation the clergy and the laity of the 1 archdiocese made him the princel,
 gift of $300,000 with which to pay of the indebtedness against St. Patrick!
 Cathedral, and enabled him, as h'
 said, to consecrate it in fact as well a
 in name as the House of God.
 Cardinal Farley lived in the archi
 episcopal mansion on Madison avenu directly behind the Cathedral on Fiftl
 avenue. Here, surrounded by his of fcial household, he lived a simple bu
 busy life, divided between priestly du
 ties application to complex problems
 and recreation to keep fit.
 In connection with his elevation t
 the cardinalate in 1911 he took, a i; is customary with all the cardinals titular possession of one of tn churches of Rome. His church Wa . the Sancta Maria Sopra Minerva, iron which centuries ago came the frs } Catholic Bishop of New York. Tn } edifice is dedicated to Mary, unde whose patronage is the whole churcl . in the United States.
