DR.. ADLER FREE

Amsterdam, Nov. 4-Dr. Friedrich
Adler, who assassinated Austrian
Premier Stuerghk on October 81,
1916, has been released from prison,
according to Vienna advices.
DR.. Friedrich Adler is a son of
DIR. Victor Adler, the leader Of the
Austrian socialists and was editor of
the Der Kampf when he assassinated
Count Stuerghk. Young Adler de-
clared the assassination was purely
political and was due to the failure
of the premier to convene the Aus
trian parliament. German newspa-
pers declared Adler was insane but
a court alienist found him mentally
sound when he was brought up for
trial in December, 1916.
Adler was sentenced to death and
efforts to secure a Communication failed
until September, 1917, when the
death sentence was committed to IS
years imprisonment by Emperor
Charles

the Democratic ticket and upholding
the hands of the President" was the
theme of an address to the members
Of the newly organized Polish-Ameri-
can political club, by Rev. A. Krauze
at a meeting held yesterday after
noon.
At the meeting held at the clubs
headquarters at As California street,
national political topics were freely
discussed, and each mention of evil
son" brought forth rounds of ap-
plause from the members who now
number close to so. Twenty-one of
them hold citizens papers and will
vote at the election tomorrow.
The future development of the club
is assured and it is expected that it
will have developed into a strong po-
litical organization by next election.
One of the plans to continue the ac-
Invites of the organization and which
will be a great aid to the government
in its Americanization of foreigners
will be course of lectures on ctvics.
The first will be given in the near fu.
ture by A. Banaszewski, of the Aneri-

Although the Times-Farmer has
mentioned the effect of politics on
the police force it seems that little
is being done to check the wholesale
robberies, witnessed every day.
Thieves are becoming so bold that
they stop people in the streets at early
dusk and part them from their valua-
bles. If things go much farther,
rbroad-daylight holdups will be a
common thing.
Saturday night and early Sunday
morning as many as eight robberies
were reported to the police, but moth
ing so far has been found by them
to incriminate anyone.
Early yesterday morning four en-
ployes of the T. A. Scott Co. who live
in Housatonic avenue, reported to the
police that they had been robbed of

DR.. Brown said today: '"Today's

Brown said this morning, that they

ice piers. | was talking with Captain
West of the towboat Mama this morn
ing and he explained the advantage
of several additional piers both fc
harbor safety and to prevent the sedi
ment from being washed on our ap-
proach as was done during the recent
rise. This seems to me to be a very
important need and one in which gov,
ernmental aid could be enlisted. Az
Captain West said, it may never hap
pen again and again it may happen
next year. asked him about the con-
dition of our harbor as to depth anf
he said that it has plenty Of depth
Another thought in connection
with river Improvement, while it d
not exactly bear directly on the sub
iect, fell that it has an indirect n
important relation and that is
problem of boat production. We. like
all cities, are desirious of obtaining
new industries and the desperate need
of our Government for additional
boats seems to me to offer quite an
opportunity. | don't know the exact
possibilities of obtaining contracts
assisting the government in her ship
building program but | do know we
never get anything that we don't &C
after.
81 would like to see us get lot
of this govern mental business and we
would not seem selfish in aiming for
such. We are doing our fair share in
aiding the COVE nmcnt in every ca.
for financial asa s.ance AMI believe
we would be no less patriotic than
other cities in keeping after govern
ment business.
"In speaking of government bus;
ness | cant refrain from reiterating
the thought advanced at our annual
banquet when it was said that we wery
playing our part in helping win tile
war in furnishing Uncle Sam agricul,
tural and live stock products, just as
much as those furnishing the other
necessities. We must continue to CO.
operate with the farmer and assist
him to obtain more agricultural pro-
ducts and cattle The government
needs them.
LET me, in conclusion, urge you
representative men of our city to pass
these thoughts along. Lets get busy
and do some constructive work in OBJ
tanning improved conditions. Well
benefit by it. Every cent turned into
the hands Of our business men by i'm
proved river conditions will rever;
back to the individual citizens. Well
benefit by it and its up to all of us
to strive for It,"
