NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, MONDAY, MAY 3, LESS DRINKING NOW THAN BEFORE WAR Labor Leader in House of Commons, Says Lloyd George Was Mistaken In Statements on Subject. London, May 3, 4:20 a. m.—Will Crooks, the labor leader in the housc of commons, declares in a newspaper interview pamblished today that there is less drinking in England than be- fore the war and that chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd George was mis- taken in the statements he made on the subject. Mr. Crooks asserts that if less work is being loné at private ship yards gome cause other than drink must be sought, and that this accusation has | been spread broadcast by employers to sover up their own shortcomings. “I have not the slightest hesitation in saying that the Woolwich Arsemal | could turn out a third more work than it is doing now,” the interview de- clares. “The men have insufficient work to do because of lack of or- ganization. Moreover, although the ‘war has lasted nine months no accom- odations yet have been provided for the men to get their meals.” g BURCKHARDT.NICKERSON. It is announced that the marriage of Otte Burckhardt of 401 Arch street and Miss Rhoda L. Nickerson of Chat- ham, Mass., will be celebrated in June.

LOTS 0° GINGER, BY HECK, AT NEWINGION MEETING Citizens Who Voted to Sell 0ld School Are Getting the Ha! Ha! \ One of .those old-fashioned' knocl- down_and-drag-out town meetings which helped make Newington fa- mous is on the program for 8 o'clock Friday night in the town hall. The big question to be disposed of is regarding schools and it is probable that a vote will be passed to use the town hall for school purposes next fall. At present Newington has fonr: schools,’ but they are inadequate to meet the growing demand. Over thirty pupils more than there are accommo- d’,tiom for ‘are now enrolled for the iThe four-réom school at Mapie +a modern . hufldin:. is taxed to schoel The two Noml at the Junc- tion are said to be taking care of as many as_possible. Newington citizens ‘who howled for several years for the sale of the old school building at the Center are be- ginning to realize their mistake. When the new school was built the towm meeting voted to sell the old building. The school board realized that this woull ‘be. inadvisable and refused to obey the ukase of the town meeting. For a second time the town meeting ordered the sale of the building, but the school committee . refused to ‘budge. The following meeting then 'took the matter put of the hands of the school board and ordered the se- lectmen to sell the building. The lat- ter disposed of it for $50. Today the citizens réalize that the building would be worth $2,000 or $3,000 to the town, as something must be done to.meet the demand for school room. It is expected that a lively debato will feature the town meeting Fri- day night, as the school board has the laugh on those who were instrumental in having the old Center school sold. The 'school board' consists of Dr. Al- | bert B. Johnson, chairman; Willlam E. Winters, George 'Churchill, " John Fish, Peter Burns and Walter Mor- gan, NOT RUNNING AFTER JOB.

Mineola, N. ¥., May 3.—Mrs. Flor- ence Conklin Carman was placed on | trial today for the second time on the | indictment charging her with the mur- der of Mrs. Louise D. Bailey at Free- | | and Mrs. Carman has been at liberty under bond since then. Accompanied by her husband, Dr. Edward Carman, Mrs. Carman mo- tored from her home in Freeport to the court house here today. She was pale, but smiling and seemed to be in | ‘better health than when she was tried before. Justice Blackmar Presiding. Justice Blackmar presided over the court at this second trial. In select- ing the jury each side will be allowed thirty - peremptory challenges, -and District Attorney Smith intimated that | it might require a week to present the state’s case alone. Several new wit- nesses, it is reported, will be called | by the state, but the district attorhey declined to discuss this report. Mrs. Carman sitting besides her husband, seemed to be undisturbed and confident of the outcome as tie case proceeded. First Juror Selected. Peter' Rohrbach jr., village clerk of Sea' Cliff, the ninth talesman ex- amined was the first juror selected. The eight men who preceded him- were dismissed 'for various reasons, ‘When recess was taken three jurors had been selected. .

Williams Also Observes Golden Wed- ding Anniversary. Fifty years ago today, May 3, 1865, a double wedding was performed by the Rev. Mr. Hillard at the Williams homestead in Kensington. Freeman 8. Willilams took as his brideé Miss Josephine A. Pepper of Bennington, Vt.,.and his sister. Miss Marry Wil- liams, was united in matrimony with Charles Clarke. Today after fifty Yyears of happy wedding bliss both couples are celebrating their guldemI wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke are celebrating their anniversary ut their home in Boston, since they are too feeble to make the trip to Kensington, and Mr. and Mrs. Willlams are receir- ing the congratulations of their many friends at their home in Kensington. It was the plan of Mr. and Mrs. 1. S. Williams to spend the day very quietly, but they had to change this to a more jubliant form of celebrat- ing. A/ large number of the members of the Kensirgton Methodist church ©of which both are members called vp- | on the couple this afternoon and pre- sented them with a purse of gold. they were also the recipients of many handsome bouquets of flowers. This evening a family gathering will be held at their home, the family gath- ering of four generations will be rep- resented by Mrs. Elbert Hull Guil- ford, F. K. Willilams of Kensington, Mrs. Charles Hotchkiss of Bristol, ¥rederick William$ of Southington and Raymond Williams of Kensing- ton. Mrs. Hazel Hull and her son, who is a great grand son, will also at- | tend the gathering. Although Mr. | Williams is of advanced age he is very active and can be seen at work each | morning at his meat market on Main, street, Kensington. He is one of HKensington’s prominent business men. i 1 BUSINESS BOOMING Every Day shows Improvement and amount of business done by !impossible to compare the amount of | incoming and outgoing freight car hv‘ 'WILSON TO AWAIT DETAILS | mother, i 1915—TWELVE PAGES.

Business is picking up every day in the local railroad yards and, ‘accord- ing to railroad officials, it is an in- crease that promises to. be perma- nent. April showed that business in this city is beginning to boom, but prob- ably the best news from that source is that the week ending April 24 was the best week, in comparison to carresponding weeks, in the past four ears. According to railroad men it If prosperity is measured car with five years ago as the cars today carry as much as 100 tons while five years ago the fifty-ton car was regarded as big.

The president inquired about the ineident when he arrived from ‘Williamstown, Mass., today, but wis told that so ‘far as White House of- | ficlals knew, no official word had come | in. On the face of the despatches of- ficlaly admit that the attack on the ship is a serious matter, but they had intended that a very thorough investi- gation shall be made and no hasty ac- tion taken. A Secretary Bryan said that a thor- ough inquiry would be made, but that before official reports were received, the Washington government would ! make no comment. Should another day ‘pass without in- | formation from American officials abroad they probably will be instruct- | ed to get in touch with the remoie localities where the Gulfljght and her | crew were taken. Officials assume, however, that inasmuch as the first | information concerning the. attack ! came from London, Consul General | : Skinnér already has telegraphed his | subordinate consular agents for re- ports. In officjal circles it was thought that the inguiry probably would disclose the fact that the attack on the Ameri- can vessel was an accident and not delibérate. In that event, it was con- | sidered likely that mo action would | be taken by the American government beyond a demand for damages. The United States sometime ago, in | a note to. Germany in reply to the German proclamation of a war zone around the British Isles and Ireland, said that it would hold Germa:iy ‘“‘to a strict accountability” for loss of American lives or vessels. The inquiry which will be made throtigh American diplomati¢ chan- rels, will be directed with a view to ascertaining the manner of the tor-! pedoing of the Gulflight and to fixing the responsibility for the attack, It | is believed that several days will be required to complete the investiga- tion.

Five Policemen On Case. At 9:35 o'clock yesterday morning Sergeant Herting was notified on the | telephone by Constable Fred Winkie that a girl had been shot in the house at No. 31 Lilac street and the police and ambulance were needed at once. | Not knowing whether he had to deal i with a murder, suicide or general ! massacre, Sergeant Herting sent | Driver Hames out with the patrol with | orders to pick up every: officer south of the railroad tracks and hagten. to | Lilac street. Officers Clarence Lam- 1 rhere, John J. King, ! Carthy’ and Theodore Johnson were re- i cruited and Deteetive Sergeant Samuel | { Bumforth was called into the case by hone, Arriving at the house the police ex- , Perlenced some difficulty in getting at the facts, but they found the Cianci girl in an upstairs reom, suffering frem a thirty-two calibre bullet-wound in the abdomen.

Officer Lamppere | tcok the injured girl to the hospital while the other policemen secured a { description of the alleged assassin. Carpentere at Onge Saspected, They were informed that a man was sus- pected as he had been ordered to {change his boarding place from the Cianci home by the master of the forced attentions and improper pro- posals to the daughter. In the| meantime the police rounded up two men, Michael Agnelli and = Guiseppi | Bosco, who live in the same house with Chrpentere at Na. 126 High Officer Lamphere brought them' to the police station while Mo- toreycle Officer Fred Wagner scoured the neighboring streets searching for | the suspect. Officer King also com- mandeered an automobile as did Ser- in search of their | man. On a chance shot, however, Officers McCarthy and Johnson hur- ! ried to his boarding house and there | found him in his own room. Vol- | 1bly protesting his innocence, he was brought to the police station and attempted murder, " Tried to Secure Alibi. According to the story told the police by Agnelli, Carpentere made a clever attempt to cover up his crime and prove his innocence by an alibi, He, Agnelli, declared that between 8:45 o'clock and 9:15 o’clock yes. terday morning Carpentere came into his room and asked him and Bosco to go with him to No. 31 Lilac street | and get some clothes. He also asked Agnelli to laan him about $6 which he owed Cianci. All three started out for the house and stopped at No. 42 Lafayette street to get some news- papers with which to do up Sam’s bundle. Arriving at the head of Meadow street they were about to take a short cut through the Gas com- pany's yard when they espied Mr. Ciancl and approached him. He at once rushed up to Carpentere and pointing hjs finger at him, shouted “If my girl dies it'l be up to you.” Both Agnelli and Bosco declare that since 8:45. o’clock .Carpentere was never out of their sight, so with the statement of the father, a statement of the wounded girl's brother and her own statement, the police are pesitive that Carpentere shot the girl about an hour before and hurrieq | hack to his companions he able to prove an alibi.

He neglected to do so, however, and did not know of his predicament un- til he read of the situation in the | Herald last week. He filed an ap- plication with the commissioners Sat- | urday and it is probable that they will overlook his little fauxpas and grant the license. Commissioner Potter told a Herald reporter today that the commissioners | would consult authorities on the ques. | tion and would most likely grant Jones a license. The only barrier in the path of the applicant .is that the excise law prohibits the granting ; of a new license within 200 feet of a church or school. Jones’' saldoon is within sixty-eight feét of St. Jos- eph’'s church and parochial school. Technically it will be necessary for the commissioners to grant a new license as the usual formalities for | with.
