SPEAKING "TRIP IS
 DELAYED TWO WEEKS

Washington, July 9.-President Wil- son returned to his desk today after an absence of four months at the peace conference to find such g mass of official business that it. will prob- ably be two weeks before he can star1 on his tour of the country, speaking for the peace treaty and the league of nations.
 Trip Postponed Awhile.
 Plans for the trip have not yet been completed but it was said at the White House that the president would so time his schedule to reach the Pacific coast at the arrival thera of the newly created Pacific fleet.
 Willing to Talk on Treaty.
 President Wilson was represented as being ready to place himself at thai disposal of the senate foreign relax tions committee or other committe1> of congress to answer any questid concerning the peace treaty and | league, which he will present to senate tomorrow in person.
 The president remained in bed la today, resting after his trip hon Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, h personal physician, said the presidenN was in splendid health.
 Confcrs With TumuIty.
 Going to his office shortly before u clock the president summoned Sec- retary Tumulty and they spent soma time mapping out a program of york; Most pressing of the many matters be- fore the president were the annual appropriation bills recently passed by congress. In considering the agricul- tural bill he had before him many req quests regarding the measure or the order for repeating the daylight saving law.
 The president remained steadily at work for several hours and was not interrupted. At noon it was said that none, of the bills before him had been signed. It was expected, however, that his signature would be attached to a number of them before the end of the day.

Pres, MOnSeeS Attends State Conference as Representative of of Hardware City. GOVERNMENT OPENS
 FIGHT AGAINST 2.75 Boston Cafe Man Arraigned Today on Charge of Selling Beer in Violation of Pro- hibitiOn Edict.

The New Britain branch of the Con- necticut Retail Liquor Dealers asso- citation will have a hand in the test case now in the courts testing the validity of the entire war time prohl- bition law, including not only beer and ale but also light wines and other drinks handed across the bars, as re- suit of the convention held in New Haven yesterday attended by A. E. Monsees, president of the local branch and representative from this city to the executive session.
 To Fight to the End.
 MT. Monsees stated on his return that the case would have the support of the local dealers to the end. The executive committee held a Speclal meeting yesterday afternoon in New Haven and as result of this meeting, which was representative of the hquor interests throughout the state, having had a representative from each clty and town, it was decided to test every clause of the law.
 Police on the Alert.
 Nearly all the saloons of the city are open today and PTS and near beer is still on sale. The police made tours of inspection last night in all the cafes not visited the preceding nght, but no instances of sale of drinks oth- CT than near beer have been reported.
 Supply Is Running Low.
 That the saloons will close for lac1l of drinkables to dispense within a lew days was hinted this morning by one of the local saloon men who Stated that stocks of near beer are running low in all cafes and breWeries are un- able to supply dealers With orders TOT some time to come.
 No Jump In Price.
 Although prices for beer have gone I'D in Hartford, New Haven, ana prac- 1icallv every other city in the state, the local dealers with few exceptions will continue to sell at prices the same as those before July 1. In the other cities beer is selling at 10 cents per glass, while the price here IS still 3 cents Special brands of near beer IS being sold at higher rates but the us- ual line purchased before closing Will he sold at old prices for the present at least.
 President A. E. Monsees said today that in the event of 2.75 beer pelns adiudged all right for sale and other drinks excluded from sale the price will of necessity go up to 10 cents. II would be impossible, he said,> for sa- 1oonkeepers to conduct their places of business on the revenue received from beer at it's present selling price.

FRENCH PRESS APPROVES.
Wants Disorders in Fiume Thoroughly
 Investigated By Board.

Paris, July g, (HaVas. 1.-The ap- pointment by the council of five of a committee to investigate disorders between Italian and French troops in Plume meets with the general ap- proval of the French press. Several papers declare that the incidents have been exaggerated and misrepresented by a number of Italian newspapers which attempted to give them a po- litical character.
 The Petit Parisien says there is no truth in the report that the departure from Paris of Signor Tittoni, the Italian foreign minister, was in con- nection with the Ttalo-French inci- dents in the Adriatic.

ALL NATIONS WANTED
Labor Delegates of 10 Countries Fa- vOr League of NatiOnS-Want All Admitted.

New York, July 9.--A demand that all the nations of the world be made eligible to the league of nations was expressed in a resolution unanimous ly adopted here today at the first annual congress of the Pan-American Federation of Labor by delegates from ten countries, including the United States.
 The demand was formulated in an amendment proposed by Samuel GomDers, president of the congress and head of the American Federa- tion of Labor following a report by the committee on resolutions endors- ing the league of nations.
 Lively discussion was precipitated by the report, several of the dele gates contending that it was "un- reasonable' to expect the abor movement in countries which had not been admitted to the league, to do more than sympathize with it's gen. eral aims.

 At a meeting of tM state board of education held yesterday afternoon the commissioners decided that it was the duty of the board to make application for thG grant at the end of the school year if the conditions in the law are compiled with by the various cities.
