It has even been suggested that mankind might die of unrequited love if woman were granted the right to vote, and that woman would die of exhaustion when she came to voting day in and day out. .

Horsfall in Unionville yes- terday for tearing from a Connecticut ! state council of defense official bul- letin board a poster entitled “Why Germany Wants Peace Now.” Jus- tice Horsfall bound Viroztek over to the superior court under bonds of $500. The specific charge for tearing down the poster was breach of the peace. The evidence showed that Viroztek approached the war bulletin board at the post office corner in Unionville yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and tore the poster from it, throwing the poster to the ground and stamping on it, shouting at the same time in his own language. Viroztek said that he came to this country in 1906 from Poland. He told the court that he understood what the printing on the poster meant. i HE'S GOT TO GO.

Despite the distinct Red Cross flag which must have been seen by the German bombarders, the station was shelled until totally destroyed. Sev- eral wounded men were killed while | I others were rescued with great diffi- culty. The Red Cross, the sign of universal humanity to every nation | except the German, to which it means ruthless carnage, murder of the help- jess, is flying in the breeze, and the Huns are showing their contempt for it. NEVER 10 GIVE UP lLieut. J. F. Conners. Writes of Impressions Abroad | First Lieutenant John F. Conners of 18 Cedar street, formerly with Com- pany I of this city and in 1916 the Herald’s correspondent at Nogales, Arizona, has written from ‘Some- where in France” telling of the deso- lated condition of the country, the pathetie suffering of its populace but depicting withal their determination of never relenting in their vigorous \ | { | i sioned a first lieutenant warfare until the invading Huns are driven back and crushed. Lieutenant Conners was commis- at Platts- burg last summer and because of his qualifications was one of a contingent of American army officers sent abroad to study actual war conditions pre- i paratory to either.commanding men . there or for training men here be- fore they are sent abroad. Lieuten- ant Conners left New Britain early in September and writing under the late of September 27 he says in part: | ransport service, the bringing of American arms and men from the | | United States to Engand and France for service, means a whole lot more | than the average individual imagines. It means the great, expansive sea and a lot of it. It means lots of con- voys and various experiences until finally we are landed near to the place of our expectation. While this is in progress there is a great deal of in- teresting, not to say exciting, things transpire which one can not help but: enjoy. France Fatima-less Nation. “England I found to be very inter-' esting, but France inasmuch as it was the ultimate goal picked for me, was naturally the mecca toward which my eyes were fastened and for which I have saved all my enthusiasm. In passing I cannot but comment upon another feature of my journey that surely won't be out of my mind until all grievances are set aside: viz, lug- gage chasing. Luggage chasing in these various parts of the globe has kept many of us busy and when once I do connect with all my belongings I shall never let go again. You will see the reason too, for in the dark recesses of my trunk are cigarettes, tobacco and Bull Durham enough to keep me puffing for some time to come. Without it I can fully appre- ciate the scarcity of this luxury in this poor Fatima-less France. “Poor France! How often have we heard or let slip some such chance remark but with scant appreciation or realization of what it really means. There does not seem to be a single shirker in this entire country, as evidenced by the determination and fervor with which every one goes about their work. The people of France will never quit until it is done right and they are victorious. Every- where, it is altogether too common a sight, mourning is in evidence. Even from the little toddling children to the old, decrepit women. They have all paid the price with their loved ones. Women and the injured are now carrying on the work left by the men at the front. One has to actually see to believe what a terrible thing this war is and likewise one has to see to believe the great, wonderfnl spirit FRENCH RESOLVED 'SHOOTS WIFE IN |SENT T0 PRISON FAMILY QUARREL (Continued from First Page) employed at the Stanley Works where he worked in the stock room. The gun with which Fabrizio is al- leged to have done the shooting could not be located, although the police searched diligently, and it is supposed that he either took it with him or hid it enroute. Tt is thought that the weapon was of small calibre as the wounds on Mrs. Fabrizio’s head, shoul- der and arm would so indicate. In working on the case the police have been materially handicapped by the lack of an Italian interpreter. None of the principal witnesses could speak English and most of the infor- mation that was obtained was se- | cured by use of the sign language. | When the police arrived they found | Mrs. Fabrizio in her bed room trying | to staunch the flow of blood, but a trail of blood leading from a small | workroom just off the family kitchen | indicated that it was there the shoot- | ing took place. SALERNI IS DISCHARGED. Found Not Guilty of Selling Liquor | Sunday. Lack of convincing and incriminat- ing evidence caused Judge Meskill iu | police court today to order a dis-| charge in the case of Nicholas Sal- | erni, charged with the illegal sale of | liquor on Sunday. Salerni was ar- rested in a liquor raid a week ago last Sunday and the case was con- tinued until the following Saturday and then again adjourned because of the absence of one of the state’s wit- nesses, Dinato Andreana. The latter was fined $5 and costs this morning for contempt of court. Frank Carbone, charged with non support, testified that he had offered to support his wife but she had eject- ed him bodily from the house. The couple have been married five months and from their wedding day they have had one continual battle. The case was continued on probation. Another little girl, one of the gang that has been reaping a golden har- vest picking pockets for the past few weeks, was sentenced to the In- dustrial Home for Girls. She was charged with incorrigibility and Miss Elsie Osborn, woman probation offi- cer, said she has had an evil influence over the other children in the neigh- borhood. K.of C. AND . O. O. F. Two More Societies Promisc to Aid in Conserving Food. Hartford, Oct. 16.—Pledges of hearty co-operation on the part of the Knights of Columbus and Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows, in for- warding the food conservation pro- gram of the United States food ad- ministration, have been received by Chairman George M. Landers of the committee of food supply and con- servation of the state council of de- fense. This makes a total of three of the fraternal organization of the state which have signified their in- tention of linking up their activities with those of the food administration, the B. P. O. Elks having already be- gun their campaign. The lodges will be furnished pledge cards which their members will be asked to sign and meetings will be FOR KIDNAPPING Found Guilty of Stealing Little Lloyd Keet, Gets 35 Years Marshfield, Mo., Oct. 16.—Claude Piersol was found guilty of kidnap- ping Lloyd Keet by the jury at 10:25 o’clock last night. He was sentenced ' to thirty-five years' imprisonment. & The abduction of Lloyd Keet, the 14-months-old son of J. Holland Keet, | a banker of Springfield, Mo., culmin« ated in the baby’s death. It involved: another alleged kidnapping conspir~ acy, said to have been part of a Gers man plot, and the attempted lynching of one of the so-calleed conspirators in an effort to force him to confess that he was implhcated in the Keet baby’s disappearance and death. While the child’s parents were at. tending a ball at the Springfield Coun=" try club on the night of May 30, 1917, the baby was stolen from his crib in the family home. Ten days later the body was found, wrapped in an old black underskirt, at the bottom of a well at the Crenshaw mansion, which had been uninhabited' for many years. The German plot angle entered the case, according to the alleged state- ment by Piersol, that a man had ema ployed him to assist in kidnapping Clements. The man was said to have received orders from a German agent in St. Louis and to have promised Piersol he might be called upon to kidnap persons in Canada and Mexi- co as well as in the United States. Federal agents of the department . of justize followed up the pro-Ger- . man angle of the case and arrecsted ' Dick Carter of Springfield, who 18 be~ ing held on a charge of being implis cated in the Clement plot. > £ IS HELD GUILTLESS. Motorman of Car in Fatal Accident ") Absolved From All Blame. Boston, Oct, 16.—A verdict of not, guilty was returned today in the trial of Gerald Walsh, motorman on & ‘Boston elevated railroad street car, Wwhich plunged through an open draw into Fort Point channel in November. killing 45 passengers. Walsh was charged with manslaughter. The chief point of the defense was that the signals were not properly set and that an arc light directly over the draw entrance was not burning. The accident happened on the night of the presidential election. REPORTS ARE UNTRUE. ) Stories Told of German Intrigue in France Are Unfounded. Paris, Oct. 156.—Premier Painleve communicated to the cabinet today the results of the inquiry he made into the charges against Louis J. Malvy, former minister of the in- terior, accused by Leon Daudet, editor of L’Action Francaise, of having be- trayed secrets to Germany. The pre- mier said his investigation had shown that all the accusations, whether of ‘communicating military and diplo- that is dominating the French and Allied powers.” held at which the importance of food conservation will be discussed. matic documents to the enemy or of complicity in military disturbances were quite unfounded. / POTATOES FANCY MAINE 151b 46C peck Sale Limited HAM BUTT SALT PORK .... ..Ib 26¢ S T S ALl 9 to 11 a. m.
