DID NOT STEAL
 GOODS ACCUSED WOMAN ASSERTS
Mrs. Daley Says She Has Evidence to Show She Pur-
 chased Every Article.

Mrs. Ella Daley, of 35 Courtland street, who is charged with shoplifting, had her case continued in the City coourt until tomorrow, in bonds of $500 which she readily furnished herself.
 When seen at Police Headquarters today Mrs. Daley said: "It is simply ridiculous the manner in which the newspapers have printed articles say ing that am the leader of a gang of shoplifters and that goods to the value of $50, 900 we-S stolen. I defy any ap- praiser to value the entire amount of goods taken from my home at more than $20o or $500, and I am ready to prove that bought the goods and re- tain the receipts for most of them.
 Both the police and the newspa- pers have been very unfair to me and all that I ask is square deal in the matter. I am not a. shophfter, and while will have to prove that fact in court, I feel confident that I will be thoroughly vindicated. The goods that I am accused of stealing were were bought and paid for by me, not alone in local stores, but in Troy, N. Y, and New York City, and fortunate ly have many papers to prove what claim.
 "A large number of the articles were bought by me many years ago and as I have been very careful of my things they are in good condition today, but no expert would say that they were taken right out of the stock of a store. When the police entered my home they even took the clothes was wearing every day and I have had to come to Police Headquarters tc ask permissin to wear some of my own clothes.
 ''This I consider is an unnecessary hardship, but can be endured if the officials and the newSwriters were only little more careful in the assertions they make. The law reads, I believe that a person is held innocent unti proven guilty; well it seems as though the officials taking the word of store l detectives, f1oorwalkers, clerks ant others, have taken upon themselves the idea that one is guilty until prove1 innocent, even before am brought t trial
 q do not want to snivvle about tht matter or be childish and expect ; whole lot of sympathy, but. I will asl a little fairness. I am all alone il Bridgeport at present my husband being in the government service il Washington, but have retained a le gal adviser and intend to fight tn matter to the bitter end. They say stole thousands of dollars worth O goods. Now let them prove it.'

CHAPMAN DIES OF WOUND INFLICTED
 UPON HIM IN MAY

Norwich, June IT - Herman J.. Chapman of Preston, who was shot when Arthur Salsbery killed Consta- ble William Kinney of that town on May 6, died at the Backus hospital today. SaIsbery was recently arrest ed in an Ohio town and was brought back, and is now being held without bail for killing Kinney.
 Salsbery lived in a house belonging to Chapman on the Westerly road a short distance below Hallville. Chap man went with the constable to put Salsbery out as he would not vacate under a dispossess order of May 1. Salsbery fired from a window, killing Kinney and wounding Chapman. Then he fled, and although he could have been easily recognized through having a wooden leg, Salsbery got a long way from here before he was taken.
 Chapman leaves his widow and a son in Preston.

years, and Michael Ciupa, 10 years.
 "In my judgment" said Secretary Bakers approval, "the sentences should be executed and, if after this war is over, some process can be devised by which these entirely un- desirable citizens can be returned to the countries of their preference, it would be highly desirable from the point of view of the United States.
 T have not the least doubt as to the propriety of the proceedings in these cases, nor am I uncertain as to the correctness of the results reached.
 The soldiers in all these cases were either naturalized citizens of the United States or native citizens of the United States born of parents of countries with which the United States is now at war. They were properly members of the army of the United States pursuant to the SC. lective draft law. They were summoned before the proper officers of the army and asked whether they would in fact fulfil their military ob- legations by fighting against Germany and Austria in Europe. They all answered. that they "Oulu HOI. There was the same shuffling on the part of some of the soldiers as to what they meant by their answers, and some long winded ref1nements were undertaken to the effect that some of them were willing to fight Germans and Austrians generally, but would not fight their own rela- tives although they offered no ex- | planation of the process by which they were going to discover whether particular Germans and Austrians whom they were required to shoot at from long range happened to be re- i lated to them.
 ''In one of the records the soldier claims to have an uncle, evidently l too old to be in the military service | of Austria, whom he once saw, and he had heard of 10 or 12 other rela- tives in Austria of some of whom he had seen photographs which must have been of very persuasive char acter since they aroused in him emo- tions of blood kinship strong enough to overcome the obligations of his oath of allegiance as an American citizen.
 These men were full citizens of the United States, most of them by the voluntary act of naturalization. They l were full citizense in the sense that they had equal rights and privilege: with all other citizens. They have also equal responsibilities. Among these duties and responsibilities is tt protect the United States against al it's enemies, domestic and foreign. Nc right is extended to a naturalizec citizen to pick and choose

 BASIS AT YALE

New Haven, June 17-Aside from the planting of the class ivy by sen- iors no formal event was on the com mencement program at Yale univer- sity today. Alumni, however, made it an occasion for gatherings at class headquarters. The alumni advisory board met for business, and at noon it was lunched by the corporation. The latter body met in the afternoon to dispose of such business as had come up in connection with the com mencements The planting of the class ivy on tR~ college campus was car- ried out late in the day. The cus- tomary' class day exercises of the col Iege and scientific school were omit ted.

 ball game there will be a patriotic meeting.
