GILL INNOCEN Prosccutor Klett Will Not Prefer Charge of Infanticide Against Her. % That Mrs. Katie Gill of 47 Beaver street is not guilty of murdering her Infant child, as was first supposed by the police, but that the child, whose dead body was found hidden in a trunk ,really died of malnutrition, is \the statement of Prosecutor George W. Klett who says that under the circumstances the woman will not be ’arraigned in court on a charge of in- fanticide. According to the autopsy performed by Dr. Jarvis and Dr. El- cock there was nothing to indicate murder ,while everything pointed to malnutrition as the cause of death. In this opinion the prosecutor con- curs inasmuch as he knows that Mrs. GilI's husband is in state’s prison, two of her little sons are in the state re- form school, while she herself, in a ery anemic condition, has to work and at the same time care for four other small children at home.

MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE CHARGED (Continued from First Page) Vanzo was brought in front of him on the scene. With the new developments, the state is now confronted with a new task of ascertaining just what the ex- act motive for the crime was. Many theories are expounded. It is said that the police have in their possession in- formation that connects DiVanza with the notorious “white slave” gang that has been operating throughout the state, members of which were sup- posed to be among the prisoners taken in a raid on an Elm street house several weeks ago. Within the very recent past, information was se- cured that two Italians were headed toward this city who were prominent in the band, and it was believed that they were out “to get” a prominent Italian in this city, from information that leaked out, but Simonelli was not believed to be the man in the case. 1f Simonelli possessed any information pertaining to the capture of Luggia Borgia, bne of the leaders of the gang here, it was not known to the police, it is said. The Tafa girl, who was held a prisoner in the EIm street house, has, it is said, confessed to the authorities that DiVanzo was in this city prior to the rTaid and resided in houses on Cherry and Elm streets. The alleged ‘‘white slavers” were evidently in a position to secure aid whenever any of their clique fell into the meshes of the law. All of the prisoners arrested here in.the raid, in- cluding the alleged proprietress, se- cured bonds which were later forfeited on account of the disappearance af the accused. The story of the opening of a_butcher market in this city which brought DiVanzo to this city links somewhat with information secured several weeks ago as to the methods employed by agents aof the “white slave” gang who preceded the active members to a city. Richardson Secures New Witness. Detective Richardson continued his good work last evening, and succeed- ed in securing a new and material witness in the person of a small boy who was in the vicinity of the crime on Tuesday night, and who has in- formed the police that he saw the “fellow with the cap” (DiVanzo) fire a shot at the “man on the ground.” This information also repudiates the statements made by DiVanzo that he alone killed Simonelli. The revolver which DiVanzo owned is of .32 cal- ibre, while Dugone’s revolver was of .38 calibre. What prompted DiVanzo to try and shield his pal? This is a ques- tion that is also receiving consider- able attention from the investigating authorities. It is believed that Du- gone has a strong following among New York’s ‘“bad men,” and fears may be entertained by DiVanzo, that members of his family would later suffer if he did not try and shield his pal. Tt is said that DiVanzo is the “black sheep’” of a respectable family in New York. Funeral of Victim. Funeral services for Simonelli were conducted at 9 o’clock this morning at the church of St. John the Evange- list Rev. John J. Fitzgerald officiat- ing. At the close of the service, Father Fitzgerald spoke briefly of the sad affair and brought to his auditors the value of preparation for death. Members of St. Joseph's Italian so- ciety of St.-Mary’s church, of which the deceased was a member attended in a body and members of the organ- jzation acted as bearers. The funeral was largely attended and there was an abundance of floral offerings. PRIVATE TRACY DEAD.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,V 1917. [EIGHT REASONS FOR NOT HELPING FUND Besides, Abyssinian Soldiers Don't Get Free Reading Matter Eight reasons why you should not give to the Soldiers’ Library Fund: 1. If soldiers need books, books should be issued to them by the war department. Yes, bu the government is trying to do three years’ work in one. It's a good old Yankee custom to help our government. 2. The Y. M. C. A, should do it. This society and the Knights of Co- lumbus supply brotherliness and spir- itual help, a place for entertainments, letter writing, games and music. A city of 40 or 50 thousand people needs a public library as well as a Y. M. C. A. 3. The men will have no time to read. Somebody’s cousin was at Plattsburgh and didn't have a minute for it. The Plattsburgers were preparing in three months to serve with men who had studied three years at West Point. They worked under intense pressure. The experience of England, France and Germany proves the need of books in training camps, ships and hospitals, when resting after their turn at the front, and even in the trenches. 4. But surely a million dollars can- not be needed for books, when we have given so many, and why do you pay a dollar a volume? “A million dollars for a million books for a million men,” is & campaign manager’s slogan. The gifts, even if ahe quality was everywhere as good as it has been in New Britain, are chiefly fiction. The men call for up-to-date books on mathematics, languages and all the subjects relating to the art of war. In one training station in which the Boston Public Library placed books the circulation of non-fivtion formed 75 per cent. of the total. It also in- cludes the cost of a building with a large reading room in each of the 32 camps and of trained attendance. 5. We have given for SO many things. Be thankful, on your knees, that you may still give. Millions of our fellow beings are making forced con- tributions to their enemy. 6. Our city is peculiar. We have such a large foreign population who give little. Without immigration our city would not have a grand list of $48,- 000,000. Much of it would be cow pasture.” Our foreign-born citizens, like the immigrants of two centuries ago, after providing food and shelter, have built places to worship God aft- er their own consciences and schools for their children. They they have a surplus they give for other good causes and will give to this. 7. T have not been asked. Don't wait to be asked. Our can- vassing has heen irregular and de- fective. Payv to any paper office or to the library, which is open twelve hours a day, from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. 8. Our population is overrated and our quota of $3,250 is too high. Very likely, but if it is as “high as our hearts” can we not give even more? STATE REFUSES T0 RELEASE DR.

BATTLESHIPS AGROUND. Navy Department Announces That It ‘Wil] Be Floated Soon. Washington, Sept. 28.—The department at noon today authorized an announcement that a battleship of the fleet is aground in home waters, but resting easily and probably will be floated soon. The navy department issued this statement: “The navy department has received an official report stating that a battle- ship of the United States navy is aground in home waters. The ship is resting easily and it is expected that she will be floated without difficulty. The newspapers are urgently request- ed not to print any information which might lead to the establishment of the identity or location of the strand- ed vessel.” navy NOW IS IMPOSSIBLE President Irigoyen of Argentina Will Address His Congress to This Effect Soon. Buenos Aires, Sept. 28.—President Irigoyen is preparing a message in re- ply to the request made by Congress that the diplomatic relations between Argentina and Germany be broken. !

Mr. Heflin believes that Speaker Clark has treated him unfairly, and intimates he believes lie would be un- fair in naming a committee to investi- gate him. He therefore asked that a special committee of investigation be selected by the various parties of the house, democrats;, republicans, and in- dependents. “Would you be satisfied for the Speaker to name the committee?" asked Representative Norton. “No,” answered Heflin. As the matter stands, it is possible that some member will offer a reso- lution to expel Representative Heflin. Representative Britten asserts that he will offer a resolution to bring the Alabaman to the bar of the Hpuse and censure him severely. DEATHS AND YFUNERALS. Margaret E. Bubier.

In his new of- |fice Mr. Landers will work in direct ! co-operation with the national food ' administrator, Hervert V. Hoover.

Stockholm, Sept. 28—In accordance with the wishes of King Gustave, ef- forts are being made to form a coali- tion cabinet of decidedly Liberal col- aring, or a temporary cabinet of Lib- erals and Conservatives, to prepare the budget for the opening of parlia- ment on Jan. 15. The king has privately requested Oscar von Sydow, Minister of the In- terior in the Hammarskjold Cabinet, to form a new government, suggesting that the present war minister, Colonel Akerman .remain in office. and that Eliel Loefgren, a prominent Liberal leader, be made Minister of Justice, and Captain Sten Dehlgren Minister l'of Marine. Professor Eden and Baron Adelswaerd also have been re- I quested to join the new cabinet, but do not approve a government con- taining Conservatives. It is unlikely that the Socialist leader, Hjalmar Branting, or any other Socialist would join such a coalition. M. von Sydow was known as a clever and industrious official during his tenure of office, and was persona grata to the Liberals and Socialists. The resignation of the present Cab- inet will not be annocunced until its successor is chosen. Election returns from the second parliamentary division in Stockholm show that four Socialists, one Liberal, and three Conservatives were clected. The composition of the new Second Chamber wili be as follows: Socialists who are supporters of M. Branting, 86; Socialists of the Left, 12; Liberals, 62; Conservatives, 68; new peasant parties, 12. The supporters of Brant- ing, who in the campaign strongly criticized the foreign policy of the government, gained fourteen seats. The Liberals gained five, and the Con- servatives lost twenty-eight. UNREPENTANT GERMANS, Viscount Milner Advises Against Any Terms of Peace With Them. London, Sept. 28.—Viscount Milner, minister without portfolio in the Brit- ish war council, speaking today at the American Luncheon Club, declared against any peace With the “unrepent- ant German rulers.” Touching on the entry of the United States into the war and the moral sig- nificance of it, Lord Milner evoked a great outburst from those at the luncheon when he said: “I feel that your country and mine are now united by something far stronger than any written pact or al- liance, namely by an absolute unity of motive and aims.” NO MIDDLE AME.

Shippings and coppers lost 1 to 2 points and St. Paul common re- peated its recent minimum. U. S. Steel and a few equipments were fractionally higher at the out- set but reacted soon after. Liberty bonds were in further demand at the new maximum of 100.16. A concerted sttack upon rails pro- voked further !rregularity during the morning.

Trading was once more checked by money rates, call loans opening at 6 per cent. Lib- erty bonds were the sole encouraging feature, extensive accumulation send- ing that issue to the new high record of 100.20. Rails sagged steadily during the in- termediate session, St. Paul extend- ing its loss to 3 1-4 points. Reading, Baltimore and Ohio and Northern Pa- cific were included among the other heavy issues.
