Real Opening of New Eng
, land's War Is Set for
,rr"N Tomorrow.
BTRATFORD, Conn., Aug. 9. With
Boston theoretically fallen, the Invading
Red . Army In the war maneuvers is
being flung out today In Its advance on
New York, while the line of Blue de
fenders Is being drawn up to oppose It.
'Although hostilities are not to com
mence until tomorrow the Invaders
moved northward of New Haven today
in an attempt to cut oft the water sup
ply of New York city. This was re
garded as an important strategic move
Jn the early hostilities designed o
render New York helpless before ihe
Invaders. '
Communication Cut
However, the Reds have been mask
ing their movements bo as to keep the
Blues In partial Ignorance of tlwlr
whereabouts. In theory th?y have cut
off communication between New York
and Southern points.
The commissary department produced
the first big question In the mammoth
war game. The problem of feeding the
10,000 troops of the Reds and Blues wan
a serious one. The following amounts
of foodBtufTs have been bought to pro
vision tho two forces:
Meats, 170,000 pounds.
Potatoes, 200,000 pounds.
Flour, 110,000 pounds.
unions, Z3,oqo pounds.
Bacon, 32,650 pounds. '
Beans, 15,000 pounds.
Coffee, 16,000 pounds.
Sugar, 50,000 pounds.
Ice, 100,000 pounds.
Butter, 4,100 pounds.
Rye, 6.300 pounds.
Dried fruits, 7,500 pounds.
Canned goods, 7,500 cans.
Huge Haystack.
All these articles were purchased in
New York by Colonel Dravo, chief com
missary of tho Eastern division. But
the horses and mules have to be fed
and the fires of the cooks must be kept
ablaze, a duty which fell upon the
shoulders of Col. J. B. Bellinger, chief
quartermaster of the eastern division.
He has purchased and shipped to the
front from New York 600,000 pounds of
hay. 500,000 pounds of oats and 400 cords
of wood.

there should be a national home for
florists and horticulturists In Wash

books on plant and flower life could
be had.
Richard Vincent, Jr., president of the
society, seems to favor the plan of
erecting a memorial to Mr. Smith. Mr.
Vincent was in Washington at a meet
ing of the local florists Wednesday
night, when the matter was flrst dis
cussed, and the Idea struck him as be
ing one worthy of consideration.

Chief Interest, today In tho police

reports Becker Is on the verge of col
lapse In the Tombs, and is ready to

the underworld.
Deny Nerve Is Shaken.
On the other hand, these reports ar4
offset by others stating that Beckers
Iron nerve remains unshaken and that
he Is preparing to .fight to tho last
ditch. Those who have visited Becker
In his cull said Becker 1b standing firm
and has no Intention of making any
statement In the nature of a confession.
In support orthe reports that Becker
Is woakenlng is u report that John .
Mclntyro, chief counsel for the accused
official, called upon .District Attorney
Whitman and made overtures to ascer
tain If Backer could get a sontenco of
less degree than life Imprisonment for

For tho first time since his Indictment'
and confinement in the Tombs for the
murder of Hermun Rosenthal, Lieut.
Charles Becker today made a statement-
It was to deny that he had
broken down or would confess. Ho said:
"I want It to bo understood once and
for all that I have no confession to
mako, for the simple reason that I
have nothing to confess. That will' bo
proved very clearly at the proper time
that Is. when I have my day In court.
Physically, I never felt better In my
life und nnyono who is peimltted to see
me will so testify,"

CONGRESS
TO
DELAY PROBE OP
BEEF MONOPOLY
Judiciary Committee De
cides to Call Truce in Trust
Investigating.
The Beef trust has obtained immunity
from Congressional Investigation, It
was learned today, until after tho
Presidential election, and possibly fcr
a longer lime.
Congress has declared a closed sea
son on trust Investigations to last un
til next winter, and the packers and
other combines which have been in
danger of an Investigation will benefit
alike, ,
The House Judiciary Committee,
which hPH the authority and the funds
to investigate the whole trust prob
lem, has called -a halt.
Its members as well as all other Con
gressmen say they have done enough
Investigation at this session, and Inas
much as thev will soon have to hasten
home to mend their politcal fences and
make preparations for the campaign,
Congressional and Presidential, they
want to get the trust question oft their
minds for a time.
The present House has done more In
vestigating of trusts. It Is claimed, than
any" of Its predecessors, and members
are entitled to a vacation from trust'
hunting activities.
When the Judiciary Committee does
undertake an Inquiry Into the causes be
