SATURDAY.. March %

AS an aftermath of the shooting
which took place February 2, at 1913
Knowlton street, when several men
got into a fight over So, and Moses
Owens died from his wounds, Charles
johnson, his assailant, was today
charged with murder before the City
Court. Judge Wilder ordered John
son bound over for the May term of
the Superior Court.
Thomas Jones, who was also mixed
up in the fight, was bound over for
the May term of the Superior court in
bonds of $500 while the charge of as
sault against Jeff Owens, brother of
the murdered man was nolled by
Judge Wilder.
For some time Moses Owens Tiger
ed at the hospital. and it was thought
perhaps his life might be saved, but
few days ago he took a turn for the
worse and Notwithstanding the heroic
efforts of the doctors he died.
Immediately Owens death was an
nounced the charge of assault with in

WAR SAVING FUND
NOW TOTALS sum
OF S1OO,OOO,OOO

The War Savings fund today has a
round 500 100000 to it's credit on
the books of the Treasury. The
stream of small savings is now pour
ing into Uncle Sans war chest at the
rate of 100000, 900 a year, with ev-
cry indication that the anticipated
rate of 81, $50, 100000 will be attained
soon after the Liberty Loan drive.
The Treasury war savings figures
record only the actual cash received,
and not the pledged subscriptions for
these securities, which, it is estimat-
ed, are now in exeecess of $500, 900, 900
or about one-third of the total issue.
! The $10O,OO0,O00 cash fund now in
the Treasury is the equivalent of "a =
100000 of the SIS baby bonds or
40OO,00O,000 of the ''two-bit'' thrift
stamps The government is printing
4OO,OO000O of the "baby bonds,
enough to fill 100000 War Savings
Certificates.
The national war savings commit
! tee estimates that at least 100000
Americans are now enlisted in the
War Savings army. The minimum
goal is 100000 war savers. 1t is
expected that 100000 of these will
| be in the schools.
| Before April 6, the war anniversary
and the opening of the third Liberty
| Loan, the war savings fund fill be
close to $150,000,00O. During the
months drive for pledges for billions
for the big bonds it is expected that
the sale of the little war savings bonds
will be so greatly stimulated that the
total for these securities will be
brought up to s300,OOO,O0O or more.

WARNS AGAINST
BOLSREVIKI IN
UNITED STATES

Berkeley, Cal, March 23-Sound-
ing a warning against what he termed
the American Bolsheviki'' and advo-
eating changes in the naturalization
laws, President Harry B. Hutchins of
the University of Michigan, made
the charter day address today at the
semi-centennial celebration at the
University of California.
President Hutchins took for his
subject THE World War and Some of
Its By-Products. in which he re-
counted the reasons for the participa-
ton of the United States in the great
tragedy and presented his conclusions
as to the problems which would con-
front the nation after the declaration
of peace.
That large numbers of aliens and
others are collecting wages even in
American munition plants who are
hostile to our institutions either
through ignorance or evil leadership
and who for the safety of the country
should be interned, is doubtless true"
he said. From such as these the
American Bolsheviki are recruited,
but not from these alone, for unfor-
tunately in the ranks of the agitators
are many who in name, at least, are
American citizens.
"If the signs of the time indicate
one thing more clearly than another
1t would seem to be that we are fac
ing as one of the by-products of the
great struggle the danger of a social
and industrial and political upheava
such as the world has ever known
Unless immediate and vigorous and
continuous steps are taken to prevent
it. democracy run mad will surely be
the peril of the not distant fture."

JEWS REJOICING :
OVER EVIDENCE
=. OF RESTORATION

London, March 23-Announcement
by the government that the Jewish
regiment being recruited by the Brit
ish army will fight in Palestine is re-
garded as a valuable evidence of the
determination of the government to
restore the Jews to Palestine. News
of the recruiting for the regiment in
the United States has caused much
pleasure among the Jews in England.
The first contingent of the Jewish
regiment, which was formed month
ago, has left for the east. A few
davs ago these men marched through
Cairo, Egypt. They were received
enthusiastically and a large number
of recruits were gained. A large
number of men for the regiment are
in training in England and the regl-
ment headquarters in London and
training camps in western England
are the centers of great interest to
Jews and non-Jews.

MILK PRODUCERS
SHOULD REGISTER
BEFORE APRIL |

Producers and distributors of milk
throughout the state are showing a
Willingness to meet the provisions of
the law requiring the registration of
all producers and distributors of dairy
products in the state, and the Dairy
and Food Commissioner has already
received large number of registra-
tions.
Because, of the fact that the rules
and regulations under this law prohi-
bit the sale of dairy products except
by registered producers and distribu-
tors, it is the desire of this depart
ment that all persons affected by the
law should be registered before April
1st," says Commissioner Thomas Holt.
1.-The law is in itself long step in
the right direction and prompt COM
pliance with it will do much to STAN
dardize and regulate the dairy indus
try. Milk producers and distributors
not already registered will be sup
piled with registration cards and cop
les of the law upon application to this
office"
Section 1 of Chapter 242, Public
Acts of 1917, created a milk regula-
| ton board to be composed of the
dairy and Food commissioner, the at
torney general, the secretary of the
state board of health, secretary of
state board of agriculture and secre-
tary of the Connecticut dairymen's
association. Under the rules and reg
ulations adopted by this board on
October Sth, 1917, the following pro-
visions are made
Section Every person firm or
corporation engaged in or hereafter
engaged in the production of milk,
which milk or the products thereof
are to be used or disposed of else
wheSe than on the premises where
such milk is produced, shall register
with the Dairy and Food Commission
err. Such registration shall include
the address of the producer and the
location of the premises on which the
milk is produced, the number of cows
kept, and the locality where such
milk or the products thereof are sold
if disposed Of at retail or the names
and addresses of the purchasers if
! sold at wholesale. Such registration
must be renewed during the month of
October, annually.
| Section EVERY person, firm OF
corporation engaged in, or hereafter
engaged in the sale, handling, or dis
tribution of milk, cream shall regis
ter with the Dairy and Food Commits
sioner, giving the address, place OF
business, quarts of milk or cream
handled, and the names and address
es of prod 1cers supplying the same
Such list of producers shall be
promptly revised when change occurs
therein and registration must be re-
newed annually during the month OF
October.

Washington. March 2S-Considera-
ton of the joint resolution providing
for the registration under the select
i've service act of all men who have
reached the age of 81 years since June
5 last was taken up in the Senate to-

to be taken up later when an amend
ment offered by Senator New of In
diana, providing for compulsory mill
tary training between 10 and 81 years,
