Curtailment of Boiler Power. Explaining the curtailment of boiler power, Lord Mersey said the Lusitania. had made five successive trips in this fashion before the disas- ter and “in my opinion this reduction in the steamer’s speed was of no sig- nificance and was proper in the cir- cumstances.” Baron Mersey described at some length the events immediately pre- ceding the torpedoing of the Vessel, giving her speed as eighteen knots and recounting details regarding the position of the ship testified *by Cap- tain Turner. Continuing, he said: “The blow of the first torpedo broke No. 5 life-boat to splinters. ‘A second torpedo was fired a.lsout immediately afterwards, which also struck the ship on the starboard side. The two tor- pedoes struck the ‘ship -almost simul- taneously. Both /these 'were dis- charged by a German submarine from a distance variously estimated at from 200 to 500 yards.: m}nflmu of any kind was given.” | Bitterly Assalls Germany. Lord Mersey bitterly assailed the German ' government, saying the act was a ‘‘murderous attack, because it was made:with a deliberate and wholly unjustifiablesintention of kill- ing the people on board.” SOME HOT TODAY. @ Today has been the hottest day of the summer and this afternogn the mercury ascended to 98 degrees in the shade on Main street.

Plans For Next Year, Considering the lack of a perma- nent site and sufficient equipment, the leaders beligve the camp this year to be a decided success. It Is hoped ihat similar to other assoclations, 'RED HAND SOCIETY | DOES EXIST IN U5, (Continued from first page). vid sent him a letter, which Mr. Malinowski has, in which he advises Krakas to tell the names of the Red , Hand committee and says do ‘not keep your mouth shut longer. I am ; confined and time is passing. Si»‘, lence will not help.” Numerous other letters are also held safely by Mr. Malinowski, all of Which prove conclusively that Bernard | Montvid and Peter Krakas were as- socgited in the local murder and one letter, written by Krakas to Stanley Vienakaitis of 33 Spring street on February 25, after he had fled from this city, states that he is sorry lc leave New Britain and his friends but he fears that if he remains he would | be accused of the murder and as his “sister is sick” he must go away. Had Right To Withdraw. Another important letter in Mr, Malinowski's possession is one mn}le@ to Montvid from New York in . Feb- ruary which states: “If you don’t want to belong any longer then do not belong. But do not forget this regulation.” The ac- companying regulation is that even though he ceases to become a member he must never divulge the names of members or the purposes of the so- ciety of America.” In conclusion Mr. Malinowski said o ESTABLIS Glnhe Clothi By All Means Come to Our | Half-Yearly Clearance Sale of Clothing that Captain Hurley of the state po- lice, Detective Bamforth and himself had always treated Montvid fairly and had never taken advantage of him or deceived him.
