NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, ITAIN HER 5 ALD! 1915—TWELVE PAGES. % SINKING OF BOATY BIGGEST WAR NEW > Operations in Dardanelles Have Not Been Reported BOMBARDNENT IN FRANGE * Joss of Olmbeline and Hesperian Im- portant Developments — Russtans Believed to Be Holding Germans— Fighting on Wings. The Allan Line steamer Hesperian sank near Queenstown today. As she went down in deep water it probably will be Iimpossible to determine whether she was torpedoed or struck a mine. Various passengers seen by the American consul at Queenstown declare no warning was given. No survivors, apparently, saw. a subma- rine or torpedo. Queenstown messages say that 338 of the Hesperian's passengers have been accounted for. It has been stat- , ed that the liner carried a total of 350 “ passengers, Allan Line officlals ex- press confidence that all were saved. Two passengers are reported to have died after being rescued. Of the 286 mebers of the crew all but sixteen have heen definitely ac- counted for. Cymbeline Sunk. S8ix members of the crew of the British tank steamer Cymbeline were killed and six wounded when the tanker, a 4,605 ton vessel, was sunk, apparently in the zone of German sub- marine operations. Thirty-one men were saved. Continuation of the violent artillery battle on the western front is report- ed from Paris. Fighting in Poland. London, Sept. 6, 12:31 p. m.—Fight- ing on both wings of the eastern front proceeded with much greater vigor than the struggle in the center, where the. invaders apparently are having — difficulties in trackless swamps.

Russia has corrected earlier reports concerning the attempt of the Ger- mans to make a landing at Peranu, confirming Berlin’s statement that in- /stead of losing vessels as the result - 47 attacks by the Russians the Ger- mans intentionally sank several small steamers to block the entrance to the Gulf of Riga. The deduction is made that the Germans feared the Rus- slans would land there sufficiently strong forces to threaten Field Mar- shal Von Hindenburg’s left flank. Bombardment Continues. Saturday and Sunday along the < western front brought a continuation of the vigorous bombardment by French artillery at Arras, in the Champagne, the Argonne, along the " Lorraine frontier and in the Vosges. g This heavy artillery firing has con- § tinued for almost a fortnight. The ¥ motive is no more obvious now than . at the beginning. No news has been received of a re- 7, sumption of the battle at the Dar- danelles except the French report that the Australians had repulsed a Turkish attack, Answer No Questins, Berlin, Sept- 6, via Londn, 10:62 8- m.—Official warning has been is- sued to the people of Germany not ‘to answer questions about the status ® of German industries which may be nsked by foreigners until the war minister has passed upon the pro- priety of the inquiries.

Holyoke, Mess., Sept. 6—Thousands of visitors in this city who were at- tracted by the annual convention of the New England Walther League and the Springfield Diocesan Union field day were forced to walk today as there were no street cars running and jitneys were unable to handle the vast amount of extra traffic. All peace-making efforts tending towards a settlement of the street car strike which went into effect at midnight, August 26, have been exhausted and the situation remains deadlocked with no prospects of a settlement in sight. The striking trolleymen marched in the big Labor Day parade in Spring- field today and were cheered by hun- dre; of sympathizers along the streets, The public schools open tomorrow and the school committee has made arangements to transport the pupils in the suburban districts in motor busses should the trolley tie up con- tinue. INTERNATIONAL LAW PERMITTED LINER"S GUN Washington Confident of Sat- isfactory Outcome to Hesperian Affair. ‘Washington, Sept. 6.—Complete details of the attack upon the Allan liner Hesperian were awaited today by officials of the American government, who recalling recent assurances from Ambassador Von Bernstorff, seemed confident that a satisfactory explan- ation would be forthcoming. While passengers aboard the Hesperian as- serted she was torpedoed without warning, the first official reports as announced by the state department did not clear up that point or indi- cate whether the ship attempted to 811 Nies L oscaper o There was no comment on the dis- aster from either the White House or the state department, but high offi- cials, it was understood, thought it inconceivable that a German comman- der had attacked a peaceful passen- ger liner without warning in view of the recently expressed attitude of the imperial government, 2 First reports from Consul Frost at Queenstown state that the Hesperian carried a 4.7 inch rifle mounted aft. That is permissible—for defensive purposes—under international law. It was suggested however, that the present of the gun might figure un- der some circumstances in the subma- rine commander’'s explanation to_the Berlin admiralty. ITALIAN RESERVISTS IN SMALL RIOT Angered Because Of Removal Of Flag From Train They Attack Employer Of Road. Brookfield, Mass., Sept. 6.—Angered because a flag was pulled from a spe- cial car in which they were traveling from Boston ta New York, several members of a party of Italian re- servists attacked persons on the Bos- ton and Albany Railroad station plat- form with knives today. Robert B. Haywoad, the station agent and his assistant, Alfred Dufault, were badly slashed. The assailants regained their car before the train proceeded. No ar- rests were made, but word was sent to the police at Springfleld to guard the train in that city to prevent a repetition of the trouble. NO NEWS OF TREASURE. Vanceboro, Me., Sept. 6.—Reliable information received here is to the effect that the battleship bringing the expected gold shipment from London had not arrived at Halifax this morn- ing. It is supposed that the ship also cial commissioners. The admiralty at Halifax is maintaining the closest gecrecy and the censorship, which is severe, probably will not permit any- thing regarding the arrival of the ves- sel to be transmitted by telegraph. BOY ASSAULTS MOTHER.

New Haven, Sept. 6.—Organized la- bor in Connecticut today held a more general observance of Labor Day than on any previous occasion since the holiday 'has been particularly recog- nized as belonging to workers in in- dustry. The occasion was embraced to bring out in a striking through floats, banners, and various devices, the movement for an eight hour day in the state undertaken by various individual trades unions and ‘Wwhich since early in July has already been marked by strikes in fifty or more industrial plants with adjust- ments in wages and hours satisfactory to thousands of persons involved in at least thirty-five of them. In other years Labor Day parades have been either neighborhood or sec- tional affairs. Today, however, unions made their way here by every avail- able means of transportation from all corners at Savin Rock, on the harbor’s west short, at which there were to be athletic games and a mass labor meeting. The program followed had the sanction of the Connecticut Feder- ation of Labor which tomorrow will begin its annual session of four days to give particular attention in its dis- cussions and action to the eight hour day principle and labor legislation by the recent general assembly. Large Number Present. The number of persons who came into the city before the hour set for starting the parade was so large that it could be compared only to the crowd which rushes in on the big football match days. Trains, trolleys, automobiles of all descriptions, and even shore craft were used as means of transit. Thousands of celebrators came by steamer from Bridgeport, while the down town streets were filled with lines of “jitneys” from nearby towns and cities each flag be- decked and with the passengers carrying some insignia of their mem- bhership in a labor union. The city was gay with color, merchants hav- ing liberally decorated their stores, and families along the line of march doing their part to give the day a holiday dress. The unions assembled on streets adjacent to the Central Green to prepare for the parade which was under way at 11 o’clock. Before that hour scores of bands were fllling the air with tunes, and uniformed or- ganizations marched hither and thither to practice the cadence, or to show their faces to friends. 12,000 Marched. The claim was made by those in charge of the parade that more than 12,000 persons actually marched. It was estimated that fully 6,000 persons came over from Bridgeport, while Hartford, Waterbury, Danbury, Tor- rington, Winsted and New London sent over delegates in several in- stances running into many hundreds. Of floats and banners there were scores, and many of them were excep- tionally well decorated. New Britain Represented. New Britain was well represented at the convention in New Haven to- day, members of the Carpenters’ union, the Bakers’ union and the Cen- tral Labor union attending. Some of the local delegates made the trip from here to the Elm city by automobile and will return late tonight. way, $45,000 LOST. Blaze in Cambridge Does Great Dam- age to Hay Dealers’ Plant. Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 6.—A spec- tacular fire which threatened a large district of dwellings and tenement houses destroyed the plant of Clark Brothers, hay, grain and coal dealers. on Massachusetts avenue, in the North Cambridge district, today. Beveral nearby buildings were ig- nited, but the absence of wind enabled the firemen to extinguish these incipi- ent fires with slight damage. The loss is estimated at $46,000. STREET CAR STRIKE. Albany, N. Y., Sept. 6.—All of the 800 conductors and motormen of the Albany City Street Car Line went on strike today. Traffic ceased imme- dately and Charles 8. Hewlitt, gen- eral manager of the United Traction company, ordered the car barns locked, A dispute over the discharge and puspension of men caused the trouble. BARK “LEWIS” SAFE. London, Bept. 6, 12:54 p. m.—The British bark Willlam T, Lewis, vari- ously reported to have been torpedoed by a German submarine and sunk and to have been waterlogged and aban- doned, is being towed into port. Al- though flylng the British flag, the bark was recently acquired by a San Fran- clsco company, PATRICK CARMODY DIES AT HOSPITAL Well Known Old Time Resident Succumbs to Pneumonis at Age of 67, The death of Patrick Carmody of 400 High street, which occurreq at 2 o’clock this morning at St. Francig’ hospital in Hartford, removed from this city one of its best known olq, time residents.

For more than thirly years Carmody was employed by board of public works as a teamster and his old gray horse is still a familiar sight, hauling sand and dirt for the street department. He was sixty-seven years of and during the past few' years his constitution was broken down by several unfortunate accidents. About two years ago while hurrying to catch a train at the Springfleld rail- road station he slipped and fell under the wheels of the train and was so badly injured that it was necessary to amputate his arm. About a year ago he was assaulted by Ludwig Stahalick and so badly beaten that his life was dispaired of for a time. Al- though he recovered, he lost the sight of one eye as a result of this assault. His other eye was .also sightless. Although Mr. Carmody’s assailant was arrested he disclaimed any intentional assault upon the old man and claimed self defense. T0 WITHDRAW “F” Mr. TYPE FROM U. 3. NAVY| Accident to Sisters of F-4 Makes Apparent Seri- ous Weaknesses. Honolulu Sept. 6.—As a result the collision yesterday of the United States steamer Supply with the sub- marines F-1, F-2 and F-3, putting the little divers completely out of com- mission, naval officers here were dis- cussing today the probability of the | withdrawal of all the vessels from the service. After the loss last March of the F-4, with her crew of twenty-two men, the F type of submarine was made the subject of a strict investigation and the findings of the board of inquiry pointed out serious weakness com- mon to the three sister vessels of the group. The Supply ripped the shell off the F-2 to the water line and jamed her against the two other submarines with such force that the F-1's steer- ing gear was smashed and her after fuel tank damaged. The F-3 also must be placed in dry dock for re- pairs before she is fit for service again. . The work of cleaning the 'hull of the F-4 which recently was raised from the bottom of Honolulu harbor has been suspended until tomorrow. Thus far fifteen bodies have been tak- en from the wreck. AMERICAN EXCHANGE., London Financiers Opinion is That Situation is Still Uncertain. London, Sept- 6, 1:20 p. m.—Amer- ican exchange continues to fluctuate feverishly, and in the opinion of fin- anciers here the outlook is still very uncertain. Publication of the names of the French and British commis- sioners to the United States and the presumption that they will soon sub- mit a plan for settlement of the problem were well received. The facu that the corn and cotton season is approaching is regarded as necessita- tating quick action- Cable transfers opened lower, at 4.67 1-2 to 4.68 1-2. The rate fell to 4.66 1-2 to 4.67 with few buying orders, and later held around 4.67 in a very uncertain market. EMPLOYE PURCHASES STORE.

How- ever, as the rain failed to do more | than threaten there was no slacken- ing of preparations for a day's en- Joyment and it was evident early that an attempt would be made to carry out programs previously arranged. All the factories were closed and a Sun- day like hush hung over the city. Only such business places as had impera- tive needs to serve remained open during the morning hours and by noon practically every place had closed for the day. State Conventions. The convention of the Hartford District Luther League, which opened its, sessions at the Swedish Lutheran church on Franklin Square yesterday and - continues throughout today, and the annual convention of the Connec- ticut Staats Saengerbund at Quartet Club park are the two most important public events of the day in this city. Hundreds of people attended the opeging of the Connecticut fair at ChaMter Oak park. i Theater Programs.

A big event of the day locally was the convention of the Connecticut Staats Saengerbund at Quartet club park on Wooster street. Delegates from every society in the state were expectd and shortiy bfore noon they began to arrive. With over 100 pres- ent, the convention went into session at 2 o’clock. Amendments to the constitution which will vitally effect the state organization were up for ac- | tion. These if adopted will place the Connecticut Saengerbund on an equality with the largest organizations of the kind in the country. The New Britain Quartet club have voted to invite the Saengerbund to hold the 1916 saengerfest here and it is a foregone conclusion taat the club’s action will be ratified by - the state body. The Quartet club under- takes a big proposition in electing to conduct the state saengerfest and will haye a world of work to do in pre- paring for the big event next year, but the members are enhtusiastic over the i t I e t: r i to make the event a notable one in | 1 the history of the organization.
