She was a reluctant witness. Not until after she had been brought before Supreme Court Justice Morschauser in cham- bers did the young woman reveal even a little of what passed in her home on the evening hefore and the morning of the shooting.

Both the maid and the nurse in the| Ward home, also gave the time of | Ward's arrival there as 4:30 a. m.

A number of New Britain cases came up before the opening session of | the superior court in Hartford. Judge ‘William M. Maltbie was on the bench, Leraoy Jones and Richard Naples, both of New Britain, pleaded guilty to the charge of receiving stolen goods to the value of $88. Both of the youths had been implicated in a hold- up in this city, and Naples was under probation on a charge of statutory burglary. Naples was sentenced to Jjail for six months and Jones was re- manded to jail for sentence later. William Thorngren, who has been ir the limelight in this city for the past few weeks because of the fact that he stole plated ware from T.anders, Frary & Clark Co. to the value of $291, pleaded guilty to the charge of theft. He was represented by Judge William F. Mangan, who made a strong plea for his client, say- ing that Thorngren intended to give the goods back. The fact that Thorn- gren had shipped the goods to Provi- dence, however, made, it look more suspicious, and he was sentenced to six months in jail. The sentence was 'ater modified to three months, MEETING CHANGED Board of Directors at the Y. W. C. A. Will Meet On Monday Instead of On Wednesday—Other Notes. The board of directors of the Y. W.

COUNCIL 1S NOW SPLIT FOUR WAYS Pajewski-Nair Combine Is Latest to Appear Further splits in the common coun- cil are expected as a result of last Wednesday night's session, making four distinct factions and assuring no end of interesting meetings during the present administration. The latest upheaval comes as an aftermath of the unfavorable action on a proposal for a dance pavilion in Walnut Hill park. Alderman Peter Pajewsk! of the fifth ward and Coun- climan David L. Nair of the first are the injured members who are report- ed to be at the head of the new fac- tion. Pajewski, although an alder- man, was not asked to be present at a meeting of republican members prior to last Wednesday's session, at which the fate of the pavillon is understood to have been sealed. He was one of the sponsors of the movement. Councilman Nair was present and in the middle of a dis- cussion was required to resume his seat by application of the ‘‘gag rule.” Several brother republicans, one of whom brought up the question, voted against allowing Mr. Nair to con- tinue, The Pajewski-Nair faction is said to have the support of a suf- ficient number of repyblicans to give the other groups concern. The Hart faction, headed by Coun- cilman Howard S. Hart, has asserted itself upon several occasions, particu- larly in the matter of a two platoon and on salary questions. Opposed to the above group is the combine headed by Alderman John F. Gill of the second ward. Gill's followers represent the staunch sup- porters of a two platoon in the re- publican ranks and those in favor of high salaries. The fourth group is represented in the seven democratic members, who as yet have had no split. T0 USE ONLY FORT SILL All Artillery Camps in Country Will Be Centralized in One Big Station In Oklahoma.

FINAL REPORT Fair Committec of Daly Council, K. of C., Statc That $7,200 Clear Was Made During the Week. The final report of the fair com- mittee of Daly council, No. 12, K. of C., was compiled at a meeting of the ccmmittee last evening. It shows that $7,200 was made on the recent fair h=1d in the State Armory on Arch street. The report will be made to the council at the next regular meet- ing. The report of the committee states that the fair was one of the most suc- cessful ever conducted by the local council. Before the opening night there were many who thought that it was unwise to conduct a fair at the time because of the business depres- s'on in the city. The committee, howr- ever, went about the work of prepar- ing for the affair, and their efforts were awarded by an unexpected sum of money. 10 SALVAGE SUBMARINE German U-111, Sunk Off Cape Henry, Will Be Rescued by United States Ship Falcon. 7.—The navy's undergoing ‘Washington, June salvage ship Falcon, now repairs at New York, has been or- {dered to proceed to Cape Henry to salvage the former German submarine 1-111, which was sunk last June off Cape Henry Light, when on her way from Portsmouth, N.

London, June 7.—The revised draft of the Irish constitution, brought to London today by Arthur Griffith, president of the Dail Eireann, pro- vides among other things, says the Evening News, that Ireland shall re- main within the empire in the same way as a dominion, “Decisions of the privy council says the newspaper, shall be final in all constitutional matters concerning the Free State, subject to certain condi- Itions. Assent of the crown must be ohtained to all legislation in the Free State. The oath of allegiance, pro vided in the anglo-Irish treaty shall be observed.” The news says it is understood there also have been some modifica- tions in the earlier provisions in the draft giving the free state wider con- trol over foreign affairs than the im- perial government was prepared to concede. The decisions are being resumed, the news asserts, in a distinctly more promising atmosphere. —a Commuter Dies as He Runs to Catch Train Nutley, N.
