Gilman, the mother of the accused, stated that she thought her son must have been crazy at the time he did the shooting. The | boy had acted strangely for some time, | which she thinks was due to his am- | bitions and his attention to his work. { Of late the youns man had been very melancholy, although he was recently | promoted to foreman of the depart- Iment in which he was employed in | the munition plant in Norwich.

Thé young man hinted, 5% o coriecs iniquest, that he might have been jealous of Edward Gilman. For some time there had been talk of the elder Gilman changing his will, but it is not known whether this had anything to do with the motive for the crime or not. Sunday afternoon an attorney was summoned to the bed- side of Nelson Gilman, who was in the hospital, and a new will was exe- cuted. Dr. Mason stated Monday af- ternoon that the' injured man might live possibly two weeks in the condi- tion in which he now rests, which is the same as Sunday, his body being paralyzed from the neck down. There was no doubt in the mind of the doc- tor that the man would die from the results of his wound, although he could not state just how long he would linger in a paralyzed condition. The funeral of Edward Gllman will be held from the home of his parents this afternoon. He was born in this city Dec. 10, 1895, the son of John N. and Lottle Shepaum Gilman. He was the only son and was. educated in the local schools. _NEW YORK SPEAKER Ellis L. Howland to Address Chamber of Commerce This Evening.

Salary of George H. Allen, Superinten- dent of the Pumping Station, Raised to $900—Water Department Expend- ed $1,64052 in Past Month—Appro- priation for More Motor-Drawn Fire Apparatus Discussed. At the regular meeting of the board of aldermen held in the town hall on Monday evening it was voted to in- crease the salary of George H. Allen, superintendent of the pumping station, to $900 a year. This is an increase of $100 over his salary in the past. Mayor Daniel P. Dunn called the meeting to order at 3.20 o'clock, all of the aldermen being present. The min- utes of the last meeting were read and accepted. Clerk A. C. Scripture read the reports and they were accepted by the board. The report of the water department showed that $1,640.52 had been expended by that department dur- ing the past month. The report of the police department stated that 55 arrests had been made during the past month for various reasons. The de- partment during the past month re- ceived 170 complaints and recovered lost or stolen property to the value of $120.95. The report of Health Officer Dr. C. A. Jenkins etated that there had been five cases of contagious, dis- eases in the city during the past month. In reading the yearly reports of the treasurer and water de; tment it was learned that the city’s debt had been lessened to the extent of nearly $14,000. This was done in epite of the fact that the salaries of the aifferent officials during the past year had been higher than before. On a second reading of the petitions for the construction of sidewalks the petitions were granted to the signers Three petitions were then read for the erection of arc lights in three different parts of the city, one on Church street, midway between Main and- Valley streets, one on Ann street and the other on_the northeast corner of Oak street. These petitions were turned over to the light committee with power. The report of the standing commit- tee on salaries of the city officials was next read. Alderman Graves stated that he thousht that mdre should -be appropriated for the pose of motorizing t! re department. After some discussion it w to have the list increased $10,000 for this work. This Iast is to be put before the electos at the ne town meeting, at which_time it would be vottd upon. Wood McCarty petitioned the board for a drain layer's license and with his petition he sent m his bond, which, after being lroked over by the cor- poration counsel, was_fournd to be wrongly made out.- It was decided that when he should produce a bond the. counsel he could license. the list of the salarles of the officials was read it was voted that it should stand as read.

The report of the street committee on the survey of Chapman street was next given, and it was referred back to the street committee, as nothing definite had been obtained in the mat- ter. City Engineer Robert E. Mitchell was presen: ihe meeting and he told of his investigations In_the mat- ter. He found that when Willimantic was a borough it was decided to have this street as a city street, but no grant of land by any of the people liv inz on that street could be found. In 1886 it was voted to make a city street of it, but nothing further is found until in 1907 the rccords show that the street and land ~ost the city $15,000. Corporation Counsel T. J. Kelley stat- ed that the records of the sales could no doubt be found in the records in cffice of the town clerk.

Again Monday evening, os well as Sunday evening, the electric lights of the city were out for some time. Sun- day evening the: lights were out of commission at two different times dur- ing the evening, making it very dis- agreeable for those who rely wholly on the electric system to furnish light. South Coventry seems to have suf- fered more than Willimantic and many kicks were heard from that lo- cality on both occasions. The strange thing about the lights was that the street lights remained lighted through- out the trouble while the house lights were out nearly an hour Sunday even- ing and nearly as long Monday even- ing.

Several of the republicans who had lost on eclection had to have illumination, and did it bravely. The line of march started on Liberty Pole square, crossed the bridge to West Main street, up Pearl street to Starr street, through Grove avenue to Pearl street, and here threc cheers were given for Selectman Conrad Kretzer, whosc vard was aglow with red fire, the decorations being unique. The line continued through Eldredge street, where Artist Charles H. Davis’ home was_brilliantly illuminated, and three cheers were given for him. The marchers moved down Gravel street to West Main, up Cottrell street, through Haley to Willow, where the home of the chairman of the democratic town compmittee was brilliantly illuminated, up East Main street to Washington |street, through Lincoln avenue, up Bast Main street to Denison avenue, where the home of Postmaster George H.

He was speaking before the _ American Academy of Political and Soclal Sci- ence and the Pennsylvania Arpitration and Peace Society,’ who had as their guests of honor the members of the American and Mexican Joint Com- mission. Dr. L. S. Rowe, president of the Academy, and secretary of the com- mission, opened the meeting, declaring in his ielcoming address that in the conduct of international relations the United States must stand for new and higher standards, with jealousy and distrust giving way to frankness, help- fulness and cooperation. “If there is any one mission,” he sald. “which the privileged position of the United States calls upon her to perform, it is to sound a new note in international intercours Mr. Cabrera who, in addition to be- ing chairman of the Mexican Section of the Commission, is the minister of finance under the Carranza govern- ment, discussed the ideals and pur- poses of the Mexican revolution from a purely, scientific viewpoint, but in conciusion he referred to the interna- tionzl situation. He said: “The main political _international problem of Mexigo consists of her re- lations with the United States. “After the war of 1847 which cost Mexican half of her territory, Mexi- cans have not been able to regain the confidence in regard to the imperial- istic tendency that the Latin-Amer- ican countries attribute to the United States. During the Mexican revolu- tion, after the occupation of Verd| Cruz and the Columbus _expedition, the fears of Mexicans of a conflict with the United States increased consider- ably, chiefly since it is known_that one of the political parties of the Unit- od States frankly advocates interven- tion.

The foes of he United States, that are always foes of the whole American continent, will certainly assume to be friends of Mexico, and will try to take advantage of any sort of resentment, feeling or dMtrust that Mexico may liave against the United States. “Mexico, nevertheless, understands that in case of a conflict between the United States and any other nation outside of America, her attitude must be one of complete continental soli- darity. “From this viewpoint the Revolu- tionary government has followed a policy of frankness and consistency in her relations with the United States, putting always her deeds in accord ance with her words, and sincerely trying to reach an understanding with the people and the government of the United States. “Within Mexico, the real interna- tional problem means the protection of forelgn life and property #nd the conéition of foreigmers in regard to On account of the non-en- forcement of the political and civil Jaws i favor of Mexicans and on ac- count of the always watchful diplo- matic protection that forelgners have enjoyed, a sort of privileged condi- tion has arisen little by liitle in fa- vor of foreigners. Mexico has the problem of equalizing the conditions of Mexicans and foreigners, not 1%y low- ering foreigners, but by raising the condition of natives. “The privileged condition of foreign- ers that has existed in Mexico for a long time, has produced a certain jealousy and distrust with which Mex- icans look upon the increase of immi- gration and foreign investments in Mexico, since such increase would be considered as the strengthening of a privileged class. he problem for Mexico is to find the way in which forelgn money and immigrants can freely come to Mexi- co and eontribute to her progress without becoming a privileged class, that is to say, that instead of becom- ing a growing menace to the sov- ereignty of Mexico, will contribute to the consolidation of her sovereignty an dindependence as a nation.” Works That Way.
