CONFERENCE STARTS
 INTERNAL STRIFE
Bavaria Objects to Prussia Being Arbiter of Ger
 many's Destinies.

London, May 15-The Aus trian and German emperors at their meeting at German great headquarters, German news papers say, according to a dis patch from Copenhagen, se- lected monarchs for Lithonia (Lithuania?) Courland, Estho- mia and Poland.
 King Ludwig of Bavaria was pres- ent at the conference at German great headquarters of the German and Austrian emperors, according to the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, which com ments on the political and military importance of the meeting. The newspaper says:
 "The meeting of the two emperors largest German federal state, the king of Bavaria was present, was world political event of first rate import ance, which in view of the tremen- dous military strain in the west, is particularly calculated to enable us to look forward hopefully and confidently tc further successes for the German sword''
 Both King Ludwig of Bavaria and King Frederick August of Saxony, seem to have been participants in the conference of the German and Aus tr!an Emperors, although apparently &o hn nroconf Tn a is indicated by a statement in the Munich Neuseste Nachrichten, which says:
 The hour is grave and Bavaria cannot leave Prussia to be the whole arbiter of German destinies. King Ludwig therefore decided to proceed to headquarters. The departure of the king of SaXony to take part in the negotiations participation which was not desired in Berlin circles was due to the same cause"
 German and Austrian Liberal and Socialist newspapers, says an Ex- change Telegraph Co. dispatch from Copenhagen, are dissatisfied greatly with the far reaching decision that has been made, reached without the sanction of the parliaments.
 The convention, the Vorwaerts of Berlin says, will not cause much sat isfaction in Austria, where the Ger mans are very unpopular owing to German agitation. A majority of the Austrian people, it adds, will consider that the convention will have a fatal effect on Austrian indus try after the war, when the necessity will arise for getting large loans from foreign countries

WHITE SLAYER IS ARRESTED AFTER
 2 YEAR SEARCH

After being pursued for two years by Federal authorities, for violation of the Mann act, Gabrielle Donna, alias "John Ferera," was captured Sunday, in Stamford, by Charles H. Lane, local agent for the United States Department of Justice. Donna was arraigned before United States Commissioner Hugh J. Lavery in this city yesterday, and is now being held under $2,000 bonds pending further action in his case.
 For two years, the man Donna, masquerading under the fictitious name of John Ferera, was sought by the Federal authorities as a violator of the Mann White Slave act. Evid- ence was secured against him, but he managed to keep his whereabouts a secret from the Department of Jus tice agents.
 Last Sunday however, Charles H. Lane, local agent of the United States Department of Justice, went to Stam- ford and arrested Donna at 520 State street, where he was living with his wife's niece, Felicino Porccio. Upon his arrest Donna insisted that he was John Ferera," but transports which were located by the Department o1 Justice agents proved Donna was the mans right name, and the "Johr Ferera" was simply an alias.
 At the present time, Donna's wife is living in Italy. He has been il this country a number of years.

TRIES TO EvADE DRAFT AND GETS
 INTO TROUBLE

Joseph F. Norman of Danbury came to this city yesterday to get a job, but before the day was over he found himself in the tolls of the law held for failure to register for the selective draft on June, 5, 1917. He will be arraigned before United States Commissioner Hugh J. Lavery.
 Norman arrived in Bridgeport yes terday morning but when he applied for work in this city was unable to produce his registration card. The United States Department of Justice agents investigated the case, and upon being questioned the young man said that last June he was working in q, lumber camp in Saskatchewan, Can ada. When this story was disproved, Norman claimed. that he was working on railroad in Saskatchewan. This statement also proved to be false, and it is alleged the man then ad- mitted he had attempted to evade the draft.
