about 15,000 wen, met In Lastera'

lot the voice vote of yesterday to ac
ccptthe agreement of the Manufac
turers association and that of the
Joseph Caunt Co,' whereby' they re

In eltect before the dispute arose.
' While the ballottlng was In pro,
gress at lastera hall under the Aus
tralian system, Italian operatives
said to be anarchists, raided the hall
smashing the ballot box and throw-
' lng the ballots out of the window.
- The Italians entered the hall with
out attracting particular attention.
They gravitated toward a point at
the rear of the hall and after mo
mentary consultation rushed across
the floor .to the platform. The
movement was ,too sudden "to be
stopped and they had smashed the
ballot box and gathered - up the
j, scattered votes before successful Inv
f terference covild be offered. Even
then they succeeded In throwing
:- many of , the ballots out of ihe win
dows and they defied the officials to
proceed with the voting-unless cer
i tain demands which they had to
present were granted." They de
manded that the agents of the union
ahould secure the signature of every
manufacturer In the city to the man
ufacturer agreement which was the
basis of settling . the strike.' They
' were assured that practically every
manufacturer was willing to rein
slate the strikers and that the fac
, tory doors- would be open to them
whenever they wished to return, but
3. they-insisted on having a signed
guarantee from the manufacturers.
' They, also demanded that all differ-
ences existing before the strike
ahould -be adjusted satisfactorily be
fore the unions should vote on th
. question of returning to. work. . I

LILLEY TOLD. ONLY HALF '
A Hartford Republican Tells Other
Side of Submarine Story. X' '
Congressman Lilley unbosomed
himself at the Taft Marching club
meeting Tuesday night and for the
first time, It is said, went into the
submarine, boat hearing affair. It
Would be Just as - well for htm to
keep out - .of it, unless he goes in
deeper. Very naturally Mr Lilley
will only ueir what suits his own
ciase, but tliere are two sides to the
question. Here Is something which
Mr. Lilley , did, not enlarge on very
much. It appeared In The Hartford
Times last evening, signed by "A Re
publican." It Is-' the other-side of
the case and. is-worth reading.. .
To The Editor of The Times: ,. v
The history pt. the resolution in
troduced b Mr Lilley to investigate
the business methods of the Electric
Boat'company, .and which caused all
his trouble, is Interesting, and shows
conclusively, that he introduced It
not In. an honest .endeavor to expose
corruption but to get more favorable
action from the naval committee for
ljis constituent the Lake company.
It appears that the form of the
naval bill for thvyekr 1908 had been
agreed upon by; the naval committee,
to which the Lake company and Mr
Lilley objected. He desired a report
and. be asked Mr Sherman,, the re
publican candidate for" vice-president
and - an influential ..leader In the
housed to "assist him, i'in ; bringing
about an amendment to the report of
the. uavai committee.: Mr Sherman
Jestiflfl bef.or,r-lh 'lnvfistlgatMM
committee that Sir Lilley ahowed
him a resolution which he intended
to introduce, and said If he did "it
would - raise a ; muss." "I read It,
and intimated that I thought so too,
and he then informed me that If I
would assist him ; in getting favor
able actlop from the committee he
would not Introduce it. I told him
I would not. that the navy, commit
tee were supposedly conversant with
the whole subject and that I was
not, and that I dtd ont propose to
approach them on a matter that
they .knew about and I did not." Al
though Mr Sherman must have real
ized that a. scandal sprung on the
eve ot a presidential election would
injure his party, he was not to be
intimidated by and such threat and
refused to assist him. ',
Two days after, as he had threat
ened, Mr Lilley introduced the reso
lution which be said "would raise a
muss:" This resolution Mr Lilley
said at first that he Introduced "by
request," afterwards that he intro
duced it "on his responsibility as a
member.", - but - when - Ex-Senator
Thurston, attorney for the - Lake
company, admitted on cross-examination
that he had drafted the resolu
tion,. Mr- Lilley then acknowledged
that he had introduced It "without
reading it." ,''
The resolution was referred to the
committee' on rules who reported
that as no corrupt, practice was
charged against Electric Boat com
pany, and as neither the committee
nor congress had authority to exam
ine into the private affairs of a cor
poration, it was an Impotent resolu
tion. .
The only object Mr Lilley had in
introducing this . resolution was to
frighten Mr' Sherman into .assisting
the Lake company In getting favor
able action from the naval commit
tee, and he simply did not accom
plish his purpose, and it was not an
honest effort to expose corruption.

TUE TREATY OF BERLIN
London, Oct 15. Great Britain,
Russia and France have reached an
agreement on a programme to be sub.
mltted o the other powers as a basis
for discussion by the proposed Euro
pean conference to settle the Balkan
situation. The proposals to be laid
before the powers are eight in num
ber. '
The flrst is to the effect that arti
cles' 1 to 22 of the treaty of Berlin
which relate to Bulgaria and Eastern
Rumella shall be replaced by stipula
tions recognizing the Independence of
Bulgaria as at present constituted
and determining the financial obliga
tions of Bulgaria toward Turkey.
New clauses probably will settle also
the question of the Oriental railway.
The second and third proposals are
that the powers shall take note ot
the annexation by Austria-Hungary
of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the
return -of the Sanjak of Nocljazar to
Turkey.
The fourth article replaces article
23 of the treaty of Berlin by clauses
recognizing the annexation of Crete
to Greece and determining the finan
cial obligations of Greece in respect
to crete toward Turkey. It is under
stood that the four powers under
whose protection Crete has been, Rus
sia, Great Britain, France and Italy,
wlll'settle the Cretan question in con
cert with Turkey before referring it
to the conference. It Is proposed also
that the second part of article 23 of
the Berlin teraty which provides spe
cial regulations for the government
of other parts of European Turkey
shall' cease to have force when the
powers are assured that a satisfac
tory settlement -haS been effected.
The fifth proposal- is to the ' effect
that arrangements similar to the
above shall apply to the Armenian
provinces of Turkey. ,
: -The sixth article deals with Monte
negro. The Montenegrin rights: of
sovereignty are limited by, article 29
of the treaty of Berlin. It la propose
ed that articles 26 to 33 inclusive
of the Berlin treaty shall be condens
ed to a single article abrogating all
the restrictions Imposed by the treaty
under the -original article 29,. which
it Is proposed to sweep away, r ,
The seventh point is the statement
Chat'ir "ia desrfabTelo seek and- give
compensation to Servia and Monte
negro by. a rectification of the Bos
nian and Herzegovinian frontiers ad
joining Novipazar.. . v . .
This Is taken to imply that a strip
will be taken from the territory an
nexed;, by Austria-Hungary. . ! ,
The eighth proposal declares It is
desirable" to revise 'the regulations
governing traffic on the river Danube
so as 'to' give larger rights to the
states, bordering on the river.
The eight articles of the pro
gramme are followed by a declaration
that as the new Ottoman constitution
foreshadows a-remodeling of Turk
ish legislation in conformity with the
principles of other European states,
the powers are prepared to consider
in concert with Turkey, so soon as
the reforms are" realized, the ' best
means of doing away wfth capitula
tions. It Is declared also that this oc
casion could be taken to consider the
abolition of the postofnees now main
tained by foreign powers in Turkey.
The draft o fthis programme makes
no. mention of the straits between the
Black sea' and -the Mediterranean
which of course means the Bosphorus
as well as the Darndanelles. 'But
these' straits have been a subject of
protracted discussion between Sir Ed
ward Grey the British foreign secre
tary and M. Isowolsky, the Russian
minister of foreign affairs. M. Ir
wolsky does, ont ask that this ques
tion be submitted to the conference;
what he desires is that Great Britain
and France help Russia to negotiate
with Turkey for the opening of these
straits to Russia.
Every desire to arrive at an un
derstanding, but safeguarding at the
same time the Interests of Turkey has
been shown. In the flrst place Rus
sia wanted to send warships through
the straits In time of peace. '
In reply Great Britain asked that
the same right be accorded all na
tions. 1 To this ' Russia demurred.
Ultimately an agreement apparently
was reached by which the rights of
Ingress and egress granted Russian
warships shall be accorded on tne
same conditions to the ships of any
other power not at war with Russia.

Mayor Thorns and Engineer Calrai
made a trip to the Branch this mora
lng and found that the water Is
twenty-five feet below the dam, and
it is going down at the rate of five
inches a day. The mayor said this
afternoon that unless it rains this
week it will be necessary to shut" off
the , water certain portions of the
day and continue on that plan for a
time. He also notified the chief of.
police to see that the order of the
board of public works regarding the
matter1 of sprinkling is enforced la
all parts of the city, so that people
wno. nave been using their hose
should be on the lookout, for If any
body Is caught at the business he will
be taken into court.
Manager Judd of The Elton and ex
Mayor John P. Elton have come to
the . rescue of the street department
for water for sprinkling tbe streets,
Mr Judd has given the use of the
well in the rear of the totel and Mr
Elton will allow the city to All' its
sprinklers at the. plant, of the West
Brass mill. This will help so far as
sprinkling is concerned, and if the
worst comes housekeepers will have
to economize on water until it rains.
The situation is growing serious and
while it is rather hard to shut off for
certain hours every day it would be
much better than to run the reser
voirs dry and then leave the town at
the mercy of flre. ' But perhaps It
will not come to that.
