EDITOR GIVEN
 THREAT OF JAIL
Cortland H. Young, Head of Young's Magazine, Also
 Fined Here for Speeding.

Cortland H. Young. editor of Young's magazine and Breezy Stories, must go to jail unless he refrains from reckless automobile driving dur ing the next year. Young was brought before the criminal common pleas court today for the second time on this charge and Acting Judge Wilder sentenced him to jail for one year. He suspended the execution of sentence and placed the editor in custody of Judge N. c. Downs of Stamford to whom he must report twice a month. A fine of $150 was also imposed on Young which he paid.
 It was alleged that last year Young was driving his car through the streets of Stamford. where he makes his home and was intoxicated. A trolley car had stopped and an auto mobile ahead of Young waited while passengers were discharged. Instead of stopping, it is said that Young drove around the standing machine and his car struck a woman, who was crossing the street. She was not seriously injured.
 Young was recently sued by Ann Porter, a young actress, who claimed he was the father of her child. The court ordered him to pay for the child's support.

the air station at f1OutOn, wnlch ever looked the anchorage wrote:
 The battleships, as a rule gradu- ally submerged until their decks were almost awash. Then they turned tur- tie and went quickly out of sight, there being a. slight boiling of the sea at intervals for several hours and a bluish scum on the water caused by the release of oil These were all that marked the spot where the ships had gone down. The light cruisers settled by the stern or bows and sometimes 100 feet of the hull of one of these ships projected into the air like huge whales 1eaping from the water.
 When the last sinking battleship disappeared a drifter and trawler were at work alongside and a de- stroyer was standing by, evidently making an attempt to tow the battle ship into shallow water A long splash between the destroyer and the ship showed that the tow line had parted. The battleship canted vio- lently, the drifter moved off anI quicker than a photographer beside the writer was able to change a plate in his camera not a single vestige of the battleship remained
 "A number of German sailors came to the pier at Houton this afternoon but were not permitted to land, be- ing directed to the flagship. Strong patrols were landed from the flee; and took positions along the beach presumably to deal with any German swimmers who came ashore"
 A Thurso despatch to the Mail says that the moment the German flagship ran up the red flag, twenty or thirty British destroyers and trawlers were patrolling in and out of the German lines. A rush of Germans to the boats followed the signal, but the ca pacity of the boats was limited as their number was cut down some time ago. All the Germans wors lifebelts and those unable to enter the boats leaped into the sea without hes itation.
 In the meantime, guardships and several destroyers opened fire on the boats and the Germans 1eaped over board. The destroyers, patrol boats and pinnaces dashed in all directions picking up the Germans from the wa ter.
 "It is common knowledge here," the despatch says, that the behavior of the crews of the German ships has been growing progressively worse. The first few weeks after the armis- tice men from the German ships were allowed to land on the island, but very soon farmers complained of the loss of sheep Leave for the Germans was thereupon stopped, only one boat being allowed to each squadron"

REPEAL TAX
 ON ICE CREAM
 CONE AND SODA

Five new bills and two resolutions have been introduced in Congress since May 19 relative to the repeal of the soda water and ice cream cone tax. In view of this fact, it is ru- mored in Washington that in all prob- ability this tax, which has met with so much public opposition, will be re- moved and it is now merely ques- tion of how long before this takes place.
 Letters and telegrams by the thou sand have poured into the offices of senators and congressman, which in a large measure have brought pres sure to bear on the matter, although in many cases the representatives from all parts of the country have not required any coercing to make them favor the repeal of the soda water tax. Some of these letters, many of them from school children, have been truly amusing in their phraseology and direct simplicity in telling their troubles.

Old Potatoes and
 Strawberries Both
 Waning in Market

Old potatoes and strawberries are waning together, according to Federal Market Reporter G. M. Stack. The strawberry season has apparently passed it's height. A moderate supply of large late crop berries were selling from $7.00 to $500 per 32 quart crate this morning or 22 to 25 cents per quart. The supply of berries coming from nearby towns is nearly exhaust ed and new market arrivals are com ing from inland towns of this state
 Old potatoes are selling at the low est wholesale prices of the season. A good share of the old potatoes in the market are of good quality and should be moved before they decay and represent a loss in valuable food. Maine potatoes of marketable quality were wholesaling this morning from $1.00 to $1.25 per bushel. New pota- toes from Virginia the first so far this season, are wholesaling at lower prices. Fancy Virginia potatoes wholesaled from $500 to $7.OO per barrel or 55 to GA cents per peck, with a low price of 52 cents in sev- era1 wholesale houses.

MAJORITY OF
 EMPL0YES OUT
No Attempt Made to Place Tickets At the Fac N
 tories.

Waterbury, June 23-A1though the number of strikers who went back to work this forenoon exceeded the number of new strikers today, the big majority of the 5000 striking em- ployes of local brass mills are still out. There is talk on the streets of a machinists' strike but the plans of the machinists, who recently organ iZed a local branch of the Machinists Union, are known only to themselves. as they have not presented any de- mands to the factories
 Six representatives of the strikers met today in the office of the North American Civic League for Immi- grants and appointed a committee of three to seek permission from Mayor Sandland to hold a mass meeting at which a new set of demands will be drawn up. The new demand will com prise only two main points, that the workers union be recognized and that an increase in wages be given. If a permit for a mass meeting is granted the workmen's union will be organ ized, it was stated by the delegates this forenoon, a committee of 27, rep resented by the various natioualities involved, to have charge of the work of organizing.
 Except for minor cases of disorders the weekend passed uneventfully. Saturday night the police and city guards raided a street meeting in the North End, arresting a soap-box orator and six members of the crowd of workers listening to him. All are Russians, and they are charged with breach of the peace.
 The saloons are still closed, all though a committee of saloon keepers called on the mayor and asked to have the ban on their places of busi- ness lifted. The suburban trolley lines to adjoining wet towns" are crowded on almost every trip with those who seek liquid refreshment.
 Naugatuck saloon keepers are profiting by the strike in Waterbury. The Waterbury saloon keepers feel that fate is treating them cruelty in view of the fact that July 1 is only a little more than a week off.
 There has been no attempt to place pickets at the factory gates, although there have been several arrests on the charge of intimidation, growing out of attempts on the part of strikers to in fluence workers to walk out.

 No arrests were made until after o'clock when the police were called to disperse crowds which insisted on gathering about the mill gates of the American Brass shops on Liberty street The officers at that point were in charge of Sergeant Lynch of New Haven who rounded up six of the trouble makers and took them to the police station.

America" an Ancient Tune

In the controversy over the origin Of the tune
for "America." which he calls 'our noblest of
national anthems" Poultney Bigelow, in a letter
TO the New York Times, says:
''The Prussian king, Frederick William II. took
II from England In 1892 in order to glorlfy him
self ut the dedication Of a %triumphal arch in
Berlin called the Brandenburg thor. This gate of
victory was erected In honor Of his troops who
had been chased out of France by the ragged
republican armies at Valmy. The Prussian regi-
ments returned across the Rhine in 1892 pro
claiming themselves victorious, and welcomed
with every demonstration of patriotic Joy.
"The Danish royal house had the same national
anthem previous to Prussia, and George III
adopted 1t more early still-without. however,
claiming priority ms an English composition.
How old II is we know not. II may have been
sung by the legions of Constantine behind their
Christian labarums; IT may have been a favorite
of Wyckliffe or John Huss."
