COHEN ARRESTED
At JAIL ON new
FORGERY CHARGE

When Jacob Cohen, Of New Haven,
months sentence for forging the name
of Dr.. ]. Flynn, to several checks, lie
was reareSted upon a warrant from
New Haven charging him with forgery
in that city and when his case there
is disposed of he will be arrested
again upon another warrant from
New Britain upon the same charge.
1t appears that Cohen's father was
man of wealth and was killed but
a few days ago through being hit by
an auto truck. Jacob has apparently
been living on his wits for some time,
his specially being advertising
schemes.
Early last year he was employed as
a solicitor for a special edition which
the New Britain Record Publishing
company was getting out and it is al
legged forged thes ignature of large
number of prominent people in that
town to advertising contracts. The
publishing company Immediately APP
Piled for and got a warrant for his
arrest.
In the meantime he had put over
several schemes in New Haven and
came on to Bridgeport where he was
arrested by Detective Holbrook on the
charge of forging DR.. F'lynn's sigma
ture to a number of small checks. He
was sentenced to serve six months in
Jail. Upon completing his sentence he
was again placed under arrest upon
the warrant issued by the New Haven
authorities and will be taken back to
that city to answer to the charge.

CROSSARTH And
FINN ARE NAMED
TRUANT OFFICERS

According to a statement issued to-
day by Police Superintendent John
H. Redgate any changes with the ex-
ception of two which nave been made
in the personnel of the force are
merely temporary and the permanent
changes will not be made until the
first of the coming month when the
newly appointed and promoted mem
bers of the police department will be
installed in their new positions.
The two exceptions referred are
the appointment of Patrolmen Finn
and Grossarth to be truanU officers In
place of officers Farnum and S. Nc
Cullough.
In speaking of the much heralded
shake up in the department Supt
Redgate said: There is no reason
for all the excitement about changes
being made in the department, any
changes which will be made are the
natural ones due to the addition OF
a number of new men and the re-
firing of others.
"Any changes which may occur al
the present time are merely of a
nldReSnlLL character ana can IN nc
way be said to be the ultimate dispo-
sition of the officers and men. The
final appointments will be made upon
| March l and until that date there car
be nothing definite as to the perma-
nent places which the men will &C.
| cupy."
In the meanwhile speculation is rife
| among those liable to be in any way
affected by the changes and close tabs
| are being kept upon all channels OF
/ information. The majority of the
officers and men favor a change and
are eagerly looking forward to new
| locations.
1t is rumored that there is liable tt
! be a change in the detective bureau
and it is limited that Lieutenant
Dooley may be appointed to a desk
! job in that department. Captain Johr
| O'Connel1, who has succeeded Cap.
tain Frederick Webb, at the Fourth
precinct. is not sure whether tina
will be his permanent post or not
while the newly appointed Lieutenan
Flanagan, who succeeded Captain
! O'Connell, is in a like state of IN
/ certainty.

of 1882 Pine street last evening by

chine was unchanged and Resented
recovered his property.
Upon the heels of the above report
came the complaint of A E. Frost
that his five passenger 1916 model
Buick had been stolen from the corner
of Clinton avenue and State street
where he left it standing for few
moments. An alarm. was Immediately
sent out from the Traffic bureau, and
as a most complete description of the
car has been furnished by the owner

matter of hours before it is recovered.

RELATES STATUS
OF WAR SAVINGS
CERTIFICATES

Hartford, Feb. 1S.-In response to a
number of inquiries received from
many sections of Connecticut, Howell
Cheney, state director OF the National
War Savings Committee, today issued
a. statement clearing up all uncer-
tainty which has existed regarding the
question of the tax status of war say
ings certificates. Mr. Cheney's state
ment sets forth the fact that war saw
ings stamps are free of all taxation.
The statement follows:
when preparing for the issuing of
thrift stamps and war savings certif-
Gates, the national administration
wisely decided that they should not
be subject TO any taxes, federal, state
or local. In this respect, they are en-
tirely unique, being free when almost
everything else of value is subject to
impost.
LAS the amount that any individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this con-
cession does not deal unjustly toward
other security holders. 1t is simply
an inducement to the small investor
to make an unusual effort in his own
countrys behalf, by depositing as
much Of his surplus with the govern
ment as possible. Those who buy
these little bonds should understand
in advance of the coming days of tax
alton return in April that whatever is
converted into Thrift Stamps and War
Savings certificates need not be re-
corded upon the assessors blank. AS
the interest and principal are payable
in 1928 neither is it necessary to make
mention of the investments in the re-
turn to the income tax collector.
'-They are, as stated, absolutely free
ami, as they also pay 4 per cent. com
pound interest, are the best securities
that one can buy in these troubled
times"

SPRINGFIELD MEN

Springfield, Mass, Feb. 1S-Wheth-

port an attempt to extend the ship
yard strike to New England was con
sidered at the convention of the
Massachusetts, Council of Carpenters
and Joiners, which opened here to-
day. The effect that the Councils
action would have on affiliated unions
should an attempt be made to involve
yards in this section in the troubles
now affecting other ship construction
centers gave the convention a signifi-
canoe in the eyes of labor men. Of
ficials gave no indication of the stand
to be taken, but it was said that a
vigorous fight would be made to
pledge the support of the organiza-
ton to the government and leave the
question of the open shop for ad-
justment after the war.

IN
JAPAN since War
INCREASED 1000
The Government Of Nippon
Refuses to Let Working
men Organize.
FIFTY MILE MILLIONS
IN GOLD FROM WAR
What the Willy Yellow Man
Has Done in Far East
For Allies.
BY SEN KATAYAMA

Over two thousand new millionaires
have sprung up in Japan since the
war begcn n. We have experienced a
lot of labor troubles and there have
been many strikes, but as the workers
have no organization, nor are allowed
to have one, it is difficult for them
to get tcGether.
Although food prices have scared
very high, has necessitated many
strikes to bring about an increase of
wages. At present a family of five
must live on f3 a month, and prices
are still going up.
Japan had f3O, 600 in gold
before the war, today she has
fS5, 200, 900 and it increases every
year.
New shipping lines of immense ton
nages have been established, and Jap
ans trade with some countries-In-
dia for one-has trebled in less than
three years.
The government is the largest en-
ployer Of labor, and in its yards alone
over $4,000 men are building guns
and war material. We are sending
guns and shells not only to Russia,
but Italy and France as we'll
The question of sending troops to
Russia has been we'll considered, and
finally pronounced impracticabIe. A
fifteen days journey is TOO far and
the railway facilities too few, and it
is matter of sending food as we'll as
troops for the Russians cannot at
present feed themselves, let alone a
japanese army.
What is Japan doing? Well, she has
acted as policeman all over the Far
East for England. She has driven
the enemy from the seas in those
parts, and from the Pacific Ocean.
Rightly or wrongly, some of our
newspapers claim that we have kept
India from revolt. We have helped
to overcome submarine menace in the
Mediterranean and we have provided
England with ships for freight and
transport.
Japan is looking way ahead, and
she has prepared for any contingency,
even to the far-remote one of a final
victory for Germany.
| In that event Japan would at
once establish a protectorate over
! China, and the world will see a
new and mighty Japanese En-
pire.
In two years or less she would
be capable of putting 100000
Chinese soldiers in the field.
| Every man suspected of stop-the-
war tendencies is kept under close
surveillance. Pro-German neutrals
were PROMPTLY snuffed out, being
watched in A way that tore their
nerves to pieces and made them glad
to leave the country. There can new
er be an anti-war party in Japan.
