Although some trenches were taken the at- tempt to break through failed, re- peated attacks being beaten off with heavy losses to the Germans, it is de- leaving the situation in the | Argonne essentially unchanged. According to the Constantinople war office, the Turkish left wing on the Gallipoli Peninsula is graduillyi advancing, taking trenches which the forces of the entente allies have occupied.

London, Sept. 11, 11:34 a.m.—An- other success on the south Galician front, resulting in the capture of‘ 5,000 men, is announced by the; Russians. Even the Petrograd news- | papers, however, admit that this sec- | “tion of the fighting area is not of the most vital importance, since Field ~Marshal Von Mackensen is still hover- | “ing along the line of minor forts which form the last remaining de- | fenses in the way of complete control of the railroad system desired by the invaders. The Russians state that the initia- | tive in the isolated engagements on | the southern wing is gradually pass- ing into their hands. Nearer the “center of the line Von Mackensen is | “gtill pushing his way vigorously | through the Pripet marshes toward | " Pinsk. North and south of his head- | i quarters strong offensive movements | . have been developed near Grodno and ~ on the road to Rovno. On the other fronts there is not as much action as in the east, so far < the official reports indicate. Sharp '%;’htimz is in progress along the Austro-Ttalian battle line, but no fiesh news has been received from ihe Vosges and the Argonne, where the Germans have_launched heavy at- tacks against French trenches. The only new feature of the near eastern diplomatic puzzle is the as- sertion from Bulgarian sources that ofia feels her past neutrality is a sufficient reward for Turkish conces- gions. Brisk Artillery Attacks, Paris, Sept. 11, 2:30 p. m.—Last | DINKEY VICTIM IS IDENTIFIED TODAY Adolph Fischer of 55 East Main Street Killed on Berlin Branch Tracks Yesterday Afternoon. This morning the body of the man killed by the dinkey on the Berlin branch near Towers' brickyard at about 5:30 o'clock yesterday after- noon was identifled as that of Adolph Fischer of 56 East Main street. The remains are at B. C. Porter Sons’ un- dertaking rooms and the funeral will probably be held Monday, although the arrangements have not been com- pleted. The fatal accident occurred between Towers’ brickyard and the railroad bridge. Fischer was walking toward New Britain and the train struck him from the rear, throwing him down the steep embankment. Ho was still breathing when picked up, but died on the way to New Britain. Con- ductor I, M. Sturgiss was in charge of the train and the engineer was T. Anderson. J. Kisselbrack was the i baggagemastes Identification of the dead man was first made possible by the means of two pay checks from the Vulecan Iron ‘Works found in his pockets. He had worked at this concern but two days, previously working at the Malieahle Iron Works as a laborer. He was thirty-five years old. Fischer is survived by his wife and two children. CARRANZA’S PROPOSAL MAY BE ACCEPTED Believed That Conference Will Lead to Later Favor- able Developments. ‘Washington, Sept. 11.—General Car- ranza’s rejection of the Pan-American appeal for a peace conference in Mex- ico and his counter proposal for a meeting with the diplomats at some point along the Rio Grande to discuss Mexican affairs “Solely from an in- ternational point of view,” will be con- sidered by Secretary Lansing and the other conferees at a meeting to take | place in Washington within the next few days. It was suggested here today that | Carranza’s proposal probably would be accepted, as possibly opening the way to a discussion through which an agreement for the settlement of the | republic’s affairs might be reached. | It was pointed out here today that if the Carranza suggestion was ac- | cepted the establishment of a pro- visional government might be dis- cussed as an international question at the meeting, because virtually all world powers have interests in the re- public and are eager to have the long years of turbulence there brought to an end. Other subjects for discussion at such a meeting would be claims of foreign governments growing out of the Mexican revolutions and the abil- ity of the Carranza administration to protect lives and property of foreign- ers. Administration officials closely ob- served the trend of military opera- tions in central Mexico today, in the belief that the outcome of the battle pending between Carranza and Villa forces would have a marked effect upon the course of future negotia- tions. SLOPER ON BIG LOAN Tresident of New Britain National Bank Does Not Believe Act Could Be Construed as Unneutral. Only large banking centers will be affected by the proposed five hun- dred million dollar loan to tne En- tente Allies, in the opinion of Presi- dent A. J. Sloper of the New Britain National bank. Smaller cities, like New Britain, will not be called upon, he believes to contribute towards this vast amount. Mr. Sloper does not believe it would be an unneutral act to loan this night saw uninterrupted artillery fighting at several points along line in France, zccording to the com- munication given out by the French war office today. +J There has been, furthermore, a par- / ticularly violent artillery engagement In the Department of thé Meuse and nlong the front in Lorraine. The text of the communication fol- lows: “There was uninterrupted artillery fighting last night in the sectors of Neuville and of Roolincourt, as well As to the south of Arras. “Between the Somme and the Oi the encounters with mines continue actively: In the suburbs of Faye our artillery has bombarded the trenches and the works of the enemy. “In the Argonne district, at St. at Courtes Chaussees lythere have been engagements With Tbombs and hand grenades. “There were particularly © tllery encounters to the east of | parges, in the Department of Meuse, as well as on the Lorraine front, to the north of Arracourt, in the Forest of Parroy, and to the south of Lein- trey, all in the Department of Meur- ‘the and Mozelle.” k ‘, Tuarkish Communication.

Mass Meeting Held- Bridgeport Sept: 11—A mass meet- ing of strikers from various manufac- turing plants which are affected by differences with their employes was held today and a program for picket- ing these plants next week was de- cided upon.

O. Canfield company, makers of rubber goods the two last mentioned places. Both in- cluded only a small number of em- ployes. The H. O. Canfield com- pany recently granted an eight hour day but one department is not sat- isfied with the agrcement, and the men in it walked out- At the Rem- ington company’s plant twelve men did not like the wage adjustment, and they struck, others employed in similar work following. The com- pany, however, says the twelve men were discharged because of disagrec- ment over the wage offer. ‘W. H. Johnston, president of the National Association of Machinisfs came here today to ascertain labor conditions. He was here some weeks ago: It is stated at the Lake plant that work on the exterior of submarines for the federal. government is .not being delayed as the strikers there are men employed on engine work, installation and interior work. Of Short Duration. Hartford, Sept. 11.—Indications are that the strike of ten cone grinders at the Elmwood factory of the New Departure Manufacturing company Will be of short duration. It is altogether likely that the workmen, who are scarcely more than boys, will return to work Monday. The landlady of the house where some of them board has taken a hand in 1t and has requested the factory Su- verintendent Charles M. Gearing to take them back, saying the boys were sorry for leaving. Ernst Arnold started the troub! according to the factory officia being dissatisfied with his work which was at night.

LOCAL ITALIAN IS WOUNDED AT FRONT Tranklin Street Man Forceq to Give Up Firing Line for Fielg Hospital, Friend Hears, Word has been received by Dome- nick Carlei of 94 Franklin Square that Thomas Gasparri, his former Toommate, has been wounded at the front while fighting for the honor of Italy. He is at present confineq to a field hospital, where he Will remain for some time until hic Wound heals and then he will return to the battle iine. Gasparri was one Of the best known Italians in this city and before his enlistment was emploved at the Corbin Cabinet Lock company.

CONNORS BREAKS DOWN, Unnerved at News of His Brother’s Death—Held for Superior Court. Broken in spirit by the news of his brother’s drowning yesterday at Am- sterdam, N. Y., and brought to a sense of realization of the terrible offense he had committed in brutally beating his aged mother and sister, Charles (Chuck) Connors appeared before Judge James T. Meskill in He buried his face in his hands and schbed continually, evincing but little the pleading of Attorney D. &. | O'Keefe, his lawyer. Judgd Meskill found probably cause and Connors was bound over to the September | term of the superior court in bonds of $750. Seldom has a man appeared in the Lroken as did Connors, the well Known jaunty, happy-go- lucky and aggressive ‘‘Chuck” that ¢at in the prisoner’s pen. His usual clean shaven face was covered with a thick growth of beard; his hair was unkempt; he wore no collar or . and his customary care-free face was distorted with grief. Word was received yesterday morning that John Connors, a brother of ‘“Chuck,” was drowned on Thursday night but ‘Chuck” was not appraised of the fact until he was taken from the Hartford County jail this morning. The tragic news staggered him and as he gradu- zlly realized its grave import he broke down and wept bitterly, seem- ing to care nothing for the curious gaze of the many in the spectators gallery. The sight of his sister with her jaw in a plaster cast and his feeble mother, both of whom he had beaten severely, added to his intense grief. The trial was a brief one. The slate presented its case, but the de- fense merely pleaded for mercy. On August 19 Connors came home late and following a domestic row, so severely beat his mother and sister that they have been in the hospital ever since. tlows the mother suffered from con- cussion of the brain and many hodily wounds and for several days it was doubtful whether she would recover. Katie, the sister, received a double fracture of the jaw and a fracture of the frontal bone over her eve at the hands of her brother. Prosecutor Klett scored the oner and termed the assault almost brutal and aggravated one. Lawyer O’Keefe, while admitting all, tried to play upon the sympathies of the court in his client's behalf. He cal- led attention to the fact that John and Charles Connors had been the most friendly of brothers and the ac- cused was broken hearted at the news of the former’s drowning. In con- clusion, he asked the court to im- pose a fine rather than a Jjail sen- tence in order that the accused might attend hisi brother’s funeral. “Itwill be the last chance he will ever have of seeing his brother who was his ¢riend through life, He would like to be able to help in the last rites of his dead brother”, concluded lawyer O'Keefe., All during his rather rathetic plea the accused man sat in the prisoner’s pen, his broad shoulders heaving and sobbing alond in a paroxym of grief.

Paris, Sept. 11, 9:30 a. m.—William Sprague, famous war governor of Rhode Island and twice United States Senator from that state, died at his residence here early this morning, at the age of eighty-four years. Death was due to meningitis, coupled with the infirmities of age. [ At his bedside were his wife and his | old friends, Captain and Mrs. Frank H. Mason. His granddaughter, Mrs. Inez Stiness, is expected to sail from New York today. Simple funeral services will be held at the residence in this city after which the body will be taken to Rhode Island for burial. Mr. Sprague followed with deep in- terest the developments of the Euro- Pean conflict, referring frequently to the campaigns in which he took part | in the Civil War. At the outbreak of hostilities he converted his apartment in the Rue de La Pompe into a con- | valescent hospital for the wounded of i all nationalities. He was assisted in { the work by his wife, who gave up | her dressing room for use as a hos- | pital pharmacy. Governor Sprague had lived in Paris several years. He became critically ill late in 1910 and his death was expected, but he became much better, although he continued to be a semi-invalid. Last of Civil War Governors. William Sprague was the last of the Civil War governors. He outlived every member of Lincoln’s cabinet, every chief executive of the states, and nearly every member of con- gress, of the period. He probably was the youngest man | in this country ever elected (o the gov- ernorship of a state.

ATTACK ON ORDUNA JUSTIFIED IN NOTE Document Delivered to Ger- ard Has Not Been Re- ceived at State Dept. | Washington, Sept. 11.—The note | delivered to Ambassador Gerard by the German foreign office yesterday, which was believed to be a supple- mental communication on the sinking |-of the Arabic, now is understood to be | a note on the unsuccessful attempt to torpedo the Cunarder Orduna several chosen as Rhode Island’s chief execu- tive, serving three consecutive terms of one year each. In his third cam- paign only sixty-five votes were cast against him in the whole state. Born at Cranston, R. I, in 1830, he early inherited a large fortune. The Sprague family had been prom- inent in the political, industrial and social lige of the state the revolution. Young Sprague anticipated the Civil war. For two years prior to the out- break he maintained two full bat- teries of artillery at his own expense. When the war came, Rhode Island and Sprague were ready to rush to the front The youthful governor, at the head of 3,000 well-drilled troops, was one of the first to reach Washington. He marched with his volunteers to the battle of Bull Run and later to the Peninsula. Governor Sprague was the last survivor of the famous conference of twelve Northern governors at Al- toona, Pa., in 1862. ““We had to tuke a lot of abuse in return for our endorsement of Lin- coln’s Emancipation Proclamation,” said Governor Sprague recently- ‘We were hissed o the streets and were denounced as traitors.” Senator at 33, At 33 years of age, he entered the U. 8. senate and served during the administrators of Lincoln, Johnson and Grant. He married the beautiful and bril- liant Kate Chase, daughter of Lin- coln's Secretary of the Treasury and later Chief Justice of the United States Supreme court.

The young couple led a brilliant so- cial career in Washington and Rhode Island- Sprague erected a beautiful | mansion at Narragansett Pier which cost $1,000,000 complete and was the show palace of the state. The fur- niture alone, all foreign made cost $250,000. More than $150,000 worth of art objects filled the four-story frame structure. The crash came in 1873, When the financial panic swept the country the | $16,000,000 business house of the | large print cloth factories and numerous other enterprises went into bankruptey.

Before he had recovered from that blow another fell. Mrs. Sprague be- came involved in a romance and sail- ed for Jamica. Senator Roscoe Conk- ling was driven from the mansion ot the point of a shot gun in the hands of Sprague. Divorce soon followed, later “Canonchet” was sold over the head of the governor. Frank D Moulton paid $62,250 for the $1,000,- 000 estate. When he appeared to take possession he found “Canonchet’ in a state of siege. Governor Sprague armed with his historic shot gun and surrounded by his supporters, stood ready to repulse invasion. The siege weeks ago. The note had not been received in | Washington early today and the state | department had no information of its | whereabouts. In circles close to the | German embassy, however, it was said the note concerned the Orduna and that when its contents were known it probably would be found that the German government claimed some sort of justification ror the attack on the liner. The Orduna was chased and shelled by a submarine after a torpedo had missed her stern by a few yards on July 9. She was on a trip to the United States and carried as passen- gers twenty-two Americans. Ambas- sador Gerard made some inquiries by direction of Washington. and the Ger- man note now on its way is under- stood to be the result. What effect an attempt to justify the Orduna case would have on the situation, already deitcate by Ger- many’s stand on the Arabic, was the subject of wide speculation today among officials, who regarded the at- mosphere as far from favorable. The note is being awaited with much anx- iety.r ~ Overnight consideration of the note on the Arabic indicates a softening of views among one set of officials, who are inclined to further negotiations with Germany. While this group agree that Germany's reply is dis- appointing and unsatisfactory, they urge that the Arabic case has come down to questions of indemnity and of fact. The explanations offered by Ger- many for the sinking of the White Star liner differ materially from the statements in the hands of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. There were indications in official quarters today that the United States had received more unofficial and in- formal intimations, that, despite the attacks on the Arabic and the Hes- perian, the German government ac- tually had finally accepted the prin- | ciple that unarmed merchantmen should not be attacked without warn- ing unless they attempted to escape or resist capture. The new note the United States will | send Berlin probably will be delayed until the second note from Germany, | now on its way, hae been received | Secretary Lansing expressed the view that the United States was fac- | ing the question of whether it is will- ing to let a court of arbitration de- | cide if the submarine commander was Justified in his act. it is understood would not be expected o touch the general subject of the legal- ity of submarine warfare { It is admitted. today, hoswever, that | ifting the evidence submitted in | fidavits by passengers and offi- of the Arabic, & conclusion hnd been reached. but it is not being dis- closed.
