 WITH A BOTTLE
Appears Before Coroner To- day and Claims Blow Was
 Struck in Defense.
Wednesday, Sept. 25

More witnesses appeared before Coroner John J. Phelan this morning 10 testify what they saw at the time the dispute in the Stratfield cafe started between Frederick s. Mills of Fairfield, who died Sunday morning. and Joseph Doherty, contractor, of 50 whitney avenue. Only one man saw Doherty actuallyq strike Mills with d bottle, causing Mills to fall to the floor
 H. Albert Phillips of Greens Farms, general manager of the International Textile Co.,. told how Mills had come into the barroom intoxicated and en- ragged looking for a man by the name of Doherty. lie used vile language as he continued his threatening re- marks, and looked suspicious as he walked rapidly towards Doherty whom he had spied at the other end of the room. He is said to have shook his fists in Doherty's face, and Doherty at that moment picked up a beer bottle and struck Mills. Mills fell to the floor, and when picked up by the men present was found to be unconscious
 Richard Lee Head, a. retired law yer of Indiana, who was in the Strat- field hotel at the time Mills was searching for Doherty, testified that he had witnessed only the first part of the dispute between the two men, as he left the hotel to go out to see the aeroplanes. Charles J. Berger, of the Alpine hotel, was another witness who had snen Mills enrag god and aeI ing for DoAerty.
 Francis Holleywood stated that while he was in the cafe, he heard Mills say to Doherty 'Tn get you - He left the room before the tragedy occurred.
 Joseph Doherty appeared In his own behalf this morning at the hear ing and said he had been followed by Mills whom he had only met in the afternoon, and stated that after he had remarked that Mills was a funny salesman because he could not name the price of machinery he wished to sell, Mills became enraged and pro- ceeded to follow him and threaten him, referring to him in vile 1an- guage. He said that when he saw Nils approach towards him with fire in his eyes, he used the bottle for protection. and hit him in the face. although he did not meaan to have him fall.
 There were other witnesses who re- lated about the same story, and thers are more witnesses yet to be exam~ ined.

BASRAk NEARLY ELECTRoCUTED
 IN AN ELEVATOR
Current Short Circuited Through His Body for
 Period of 10 Minutes.
WAS TURNING SWITCH AT TOP OF ELEVATOR
Perilous Plight of Employe of Massachusetts Bakery
 Early Today.
Wednesday, Sept. 25

He1plessly hanging to switch with hundreds of volts of electricity pass ing through his body for period of ten minutes Peter Basrak, 31, of 545 Shelton street was rescued just in time to save him from being roasted alive in an elevator car at the Massa- chusetts Baking Company, 855 Housa- tonic avenue shortly after ten o'clock this morning.
 Basrak, who is a handy man around the plant, was fixing the elevator which was out of order this morning and ran the car to the roof where the electric switch controlling the cur rent is located. GraGping the cable hoist with one hand he reached for the switch with the other and instantly was transfiXed by the powerful cur rent which passed through his body He was so paralyzed it was impossible for him to summon help and his right arm was being burned to the very bone when his perilous plight was ob- served by fellow workmen.
 Not an instant was lost in turning off the current and Basrak released from the grip of the electric current fell in a collapse to the floor or the elevator and was removed to the office where he was given first aid treat ment by Dr. J. F. Keegan from the Emergency Hospital. Dr. KeegaR pronounced the mans condition ser ious and he was removed to his home where he is being treated for first class burns of the right arm.
 According to employees it appears the injured man stationed two other men to watch for anything like what occurred, but they were called away on som, other work and it was only by chance Basrak was noticed by an- other man who saw his helpless form suspended above the elevator car.
 Dr. Keegan, expresses surprise that the man was not instantly electro cuted and stated that it was only his wonderful vitality and power of re- sistance that saved him from death.

PROCRAMADOPTED REALLY EMbODIES HUN PEACE TERMS
Social Democrat Faction Ac- cept Plan Inspired By
 Government.

London, Sept. 25.---There is gooc reason to believe that the program adopted by the Social Democratic fac- ton of the Reichstag at it's meeting on Monday was not only inspired by the German government, but actually embodies Germany's peace terms, ac- cording to Rotterdam advices to the Telegraph.
 It is pointed out by the despatch that the part of the program referring to international arrangements as dis tince from international reforms was discussed soon after the failure of the German offensive and when it be- came apparent that Germany's pros poets were hopeless.
 The resolutions adopted by the So- Eial Democratic party included the unrestricted endorsement Of the Reichstag peace resolution of July, 1917. It also declared in favor of Germany joining a league of nations based on @ peaceable settlement of all disputes and general disarmament There were non-committal declara- tions on the restoration of Belgium. on an understanding regarding in demnities and on the restoration Of Serbia and Montenegro, and a dec. laration that the peace treaties of Brest-Litosk and Bucharest must not hinder the conclusion of peace. It was urged that civil administration over all occupied territories be given uu on peace declarations
 Autonomy for Alsace and Lorraine also was provided fer in the resolu- tion which also declared for universal equal, secret and direct suffrage for all the German federal states
 It is said the Prussian Landtag will be dissolved if equal suffrage does net result without delay from delibera- tions. of the committee of the upper House.
