Between 5000 and 1000 Of the soldiers

CONSPIRACY OF

Letter Read Shows Claim ants Opinion of Brother
 In-LaW.

Rather dramatic, and yet with an element of pathos within it was an ex- cerpt from a letter read this morning by Attorney John Smith, who is ap- bearing for Julius Tesiny in the hear ing now in progress before the com missioners of the probate court, R. N. Blakeslee, Attorney James A. Marr and Attorney Robert Gould. MT. Tesiny put in a claim for $680 against the estate of his father, George Tes- iny, and this claim is being bitterly contested by the other children, the -co-heirs.
 In this letter Julius Tesiny, who the brothers and sisters admitted had always been good son, that is until after he married, tries to set himself right in the eyes of his father, to ex- plain away the insinuations and in- ferences made by his relatives. One of his sisters, now the wife of A. A Ambrose, had been friendly with Julius until he had gone to his father to try and get him to remonstrate with Lena
 He said, according to what Attor- ney Smith read, that Ambrose had killed his first wife, Mary, by inches and that she had died of grief be- to her and that he could not under. stand why his father was willing tc entrust the happiness of seconS daughter to his care. Ambrose, who

NEW SUBMARINE LAUNCHED TODAY
 AT LAKE YARDS
Mrs. Laizure Breaks Bottle of Wine on Bow of Craft
 As It Goes Down Ways.

A few minutes before two o'clock this afternoon, E-45, the giant sub marine just completed at the yards of the Lake Torpedo Boat company, began to move slowly down the ways and into her element amidst the cheers of the 1860 men who had worked upon her and the thousands of spectators who had gathered to see Mrs. D. c. Laizure, wife of Lieu tenant Commander D. c. Laizure, U. S. N, break a bottle of champagne over the prov of the undersea fight ing craft.
 No sooner did the grim war ma chine slide down the ways than a crew of workers began laying the keel for. another while the band played and the thousands of specta- tors cheered, waved flags, and yelled themselves hoarse.
 The entire yard was a futter with flags and bunting while many uni forms of representatives of the Allies appreciated.
 The sub which was launched today is the last word in undersea con- struction and is said by experts to be years ahead of the best thing the Huns ever turned out. She is only one of a large number which will slide into the water within a very short time as the huge working force at the Lake company have now hit their stride and their answer to the challenge of the Hun will be sub marines by the fleet.

TAKE IN SIBERIA
 500 ARMED HUNS FORMER CAPTIvES
Washington Receives Re: port From Vladivostok of
 Successful Operation.

Washington, July 10.---The first definite news of an armed body of German and Hungarian prisoners in Siberia was contained in a report re- ceived today at the state department from the United States consul in Vladivostok, telling of the capture by Czecho-slovak forces of 600 pris- oners and the town of Nikolsk about 80 miles northwest of Vladivostok.
 The Czecho-Slovaks lost 40 killed and 200 wounded. They were opposed by a large force of Bolshevik Red guards and armed German and Hun garian prisoners. The defeated Red guards and prisoners took armored trains and retreated toward Haborzsk on the Amur river, filling eight trains They took all the rolling stock at Nikolsk and did some damage to the roadbed.
 The population of Nikolsk were re- ported evry friendly to the Czecho- Slovaks and aided in repairing the road The prisoners taken are held and examined in an effort to leaE where they got their arms.
 The consul reported that the Bol- sheviki hanged several members ot , the Nikolsk city administration and several railroad employees.

WILSON'S POLICY FOR AIDING SLAvS
 STILL UNIFORMED
Government Feels No Mill tary Strength Should Be

Washington, July 10-The govern ment regards the situation in Russia as so rapidly and constantly chang ing as to make it impossible to come as yet, to any decision as to what mil itary aid may be extended by the United States This was stated au- thoritively today.
 All of the plans so far submitted which involve military action, the United States government feels, in- volve at the same time weakening of the western front. It is the de- cision of the government that noth- ing must be permitted to detract from the military strength in France and Belgium.
 The project for extending economic aid, it was said. is going forward fa- vorably. While the situation sur rounding the question of military ac- tion continues to be so kaleidoscope, it was said, no announcement of pol icy is possible. !,

 Mikes only defense for his leave man" behaviour was that his wife talked too much" The court agreed with him that it is sometimes annoy ing to be spoken at, to, or by at times. but the remedy is not to be found by using the knout, hammer, meataxe or blackjacks. In fact, Mike was made to realize that he was living in the United States and not in any benighted country governed by Czars or Soviets.
 After listening to his rather weak story Judge Wilder ordered Mike bs incarcerated in the North avenue jail for the term of 60 days, but in case he made up his mind to leave that in- stitution he was to send for his wife and appeal to her for forgiveness If she sees fit she may recommend hls release from durance vile.

Word has been received by relatives in this city that Lieutenant Vincent Heating has been wounded by a Bursting shell but not seriously. Lieutenant Heating at the time he sustained the injury was at the head of a company not his own, but ono whose officers had all been disa bled. The censorship forbids the publica- tion of the time he was wounded and the place.
 The young officer is a son of City Auditor Bernard Heating and is well known here. Previous to his enlist ment he was a member of the law firm of Cullinan & Cullinan. He was a graduate of Yale college and Yale Law Schools His many friends will regret his injury but will be greatly pleased to be assured that it is mol! serious.
