Miller, district super 1ntendent from Waterbury and Mr. Leach the local agent of the N Y, N' h' 65 II. R. F.. were the guests of tho mercantile bureau of the cham per ot commerce. MT. Miller spoke at length on the transportation condi- tons Tn general in Connecticut and outlined the attempt on the part of 1ne railroad company to better cOndi- tons. He stated that the transporta- ton company had been far better able to cope with their problems the last two or three months than for some time, and that the shippers could rest assured that the officials would do all they could to facilitate working conditions in New Britain A committee was appointed to take up the matter Of uniform loss, damage and oVercharge freight claims and an attempt made to have all the local factories use them.
 The committee was composed of J. A. AtWater, American Hardwa re Corp; I. T. Hills, of Traut x Hine, and H. w. Hultgren of the Skinner Chuck company. MT. Leach, local agent, expressed his expectations of the cooperation of the local ship pers in their business dealings with the company and he assured them that he would do all he could to aid all transportation matters.
 Other committees were appointed which will have special problems to work out. The meeting was so we'll attended that it was unanimously de- cided to hold the next meeting at the same place. in April.

 Arthur Pilz saw a part of the argument and at the close of 1t saw Libero make @ jab at Becker's stom- ach. Pilz did not see the knife which was used and thought it merely punch with the fist. Melville Dyson a small boy who was standing nearby said he saw the knife and saw Lloero use it on Becker.
 Becker SlaShed With Knife.
 Officer Patrick McAvay made the arrest upon complaint, and atter bringing the men to the statloh searched them. It was then tnat Becker was found to have narrowly escaped serious injury. The knlfe which Libero is said to have used penetrated Becker's oVercoat suit coat sweater, vest and cut a heavy strap supporting his art1hclal leg. His body was not cut, however. and he l was placed in a cell Later in the evening he was taken with weak spell and medical assistance was summoned. He was taken to the ] hospital at the advice of the physician ! and today the authorities requested that he be allowed to say until re- covered.
 CarroIl's Story Differs. Carroll told a story differing in many respects from that of the other witnesses. He had been attending a meeting in the State Armory, he said, and at the close of the meeting he and his friend, Becker, went down Arch street for walk. Becker's shoe was hurting his foot and they went into the cobbling shop where Becker supported his artificial leg on one of the machines while he was removing his shoe. Libero objected to his putting the foot on a machine, Carroll said, and ordered them out, and, as they were leaving he threw the last They paid no attention 10 this and Libero followed them to the street, he said, where he Uibero) drew a knife and attempted to stab Becker.

GERMANS DESTROY
 MINES IN BELGIUM
Government Investigator Tells D. \. tx. of Destruction He Saw
 While Overseas

At the D. A. R. meeting held yes- terday afternoon at the home of Mrs. John B. Talcott of Grove Hill. Walter Hope of New York, son-in-law of Mrs. Talcott, gave an informal talk to the members of the club upon his over- seas experiences. Z MT Hope was commissioned a gov ernment appointee as one of three men to investigate fuel conditions o7 the other side. He gave an account of his trip in detail and spoke of his vis- ltat1on into the coal regions of nortJ. ern France and of the deplorabIe d. Vastation which he encountered j1 many of the fuel areas.
 In the city of Lens, he said, mines which were formerly a depth of wealth, Were entirely obliterated and all signs of human habitation had ben swept away in the path of the Germans. Italy as well as France was suffering from lack of coal and the committee of investigation found the need for American cooperation in this line to be urgent.
 MT. Hope visited the American front and was in Paris at the time of the signing of the armistice.
 Miss Mary Whittlesey. regent of the D. A. R., presided at the meeting and the report of the secretary was read by Mrs. William Felt. Miss Frances Parker played piano selections and Mrs. Howard Horton sang the Mar seillaise.'' After adjournment tea was served. Mrs. William F.

Toward the close Of tha week two stimulating events occurred the bankers offer of s5OOOOO. GOO to the railroads and the adoption Of Sec retary Redfeld's proposal to stabilize steel prices which was followed bv one Of Mir. Gary's optimistic predfc- tons of a return of large business prosperity. On the unfavorable side or aftalrs are marked hesitation caused by labor difficulties, the huge burden of taxation which impairs business initiative. the pressure of coming bond issues on the money market, the shrinkage in our import trade the lessened profits occasioned by falling prices and heavy taxes, the refusal of merchants to buy until rock-bottom prices have been reached the fact that enormous stocks of some comm Odities are in both gov ernmont and private hands and the unsatisfactory state of affairs at Washington are each and all impedi- ments to genuine business recovery. Cnder circumstances so strenuous1y conflicting there is naturally wide difference of individual opinion as to the future; but the balance of opin- ion is unquestionably upon the hope full side, and, in spite of occasional setbacks, the prospect is for a return to more normal and more prosperous conditions. Since we have suffered less from the war, the recovery In this country will be much more rapid than in Europe, and promises to be most emphatic in those activities which were neglected or set aside during the war. There is ample basis for grow ing confidence.
