DANIELSON Body Believed to be Sabri Ali, Mur- dered Albanian, Discovered in M Ditch at Attawaugan—Five of the Man’s Countrymen Taken into Cus: tody on Suspicion of Having Knowl. edge of His Death—Rumors of Foul Play Came First From Waterbury. Finding of the body of a murdered man, believed to be Sabri Ali, an Al- banian, In the mill ditch at Attawau- san Thursday afternoon, gave the peo- ple of that village a shock and inci- dentally substantiated a report that attracted the attention of the state po- lice a few weeks ago that a man had Deen done to death at Goodyear. Following _the find'ng of the body a group of five Albanlans with whom the dead man made his home at Good- vear, where he was employed in the mill up_to about seven weeks ago, were taken into custody and are be- ing held for an inquiry that will be instituted this morning. Officers were seeking for two more Albanians on Thursday night, at North Grosvenor- dale and at Waterbury. Wrapped in Burlap. ‘When the body was found Thurs- day afternoon it was wrapped secure- y in burlap that had been tied about it with stout cord and the lezs had been drawn close up to the body and held in that position by chains that were wrapped .about the ankles and legs and then stretched upward and wound about the body just above the hips. Inside the burlap and resting on the dead man’'s chest was a big stone, placed there that the body might not rise again to the surface after it had been thrown into the river, from which it eventually had drifted through the locks and into the miil ditch, where the sghastly bundl> finally brought up against the iron bar gratings that keep foreign matter from passing into the wheel pit. The stone, it was afterwards found, welzhs 46 pounds. Discovered by Charles Weeks. Charles Weeks, who keeps the grates of the ditch clear, discovered the body about 1 p. m. It was not there a few hours before he said, and evidently had drifted down during the forenoon. One theory advanced was that the body, notwithstanding the heavy stcne had been caused the rise to the sur- face by the accumulated gnses within it and the effect of the thundrrstorm during the early hours of Wedn: s day morning. At what point the bod was thrown into the river or ditch re- Coroner Present. i Coromer Arthur G. Il was at the | | | mill when the body was removed from the ditch and directed th t it be token in charge by Undert-ker Lo . Kennedy, to whose rooms In Daniel- son it was removed. The body was in an advanced age of decomposition, it was found when the wrappings were removed in Dan- ielson, but Alex Mileau, overseer of the spinning department at the mill of the Goodvear Cotton company iden- tifled it a§ that of an employe in his department who has been missing for nearly two months and who was known at the plant as Sabri AlL Industrious Workman. Agent Robert W. Bovs of the mi: company and Mr. Mileau both describe Ali as a hard working and saving em- who was always on the job and willing to work overtime when' oppor- tunity offered. Mr. Boys said that it ts understood that the man was in the habit of carryinz all of his sav- ings on his person and a report gain- ed currency at Goodyear Thursday evening that robbery may have been the motive for the murder. Another story was that All was killed in a quarrel over a game of cards, the fact kept secret and the body disposed of. No bullet wounds were found on the body in the superficial examina- tlon made Thursday. The face was bruised. The method of kiliing the man is not expected to be determined gntil Medical Examiner Dr. Gecrge M. Burroughs performs the autopsy today. Worked There Before. The dead man durirg the last pe- riod of his employment Goodyear had been with the companv about four months. He had worked there at dif- ferent times previously, however. He made his home with a group of Albanians, all males, who occupied a two-tenement house in what is known as the south villaze, below the miil and on the most western row of houses, the last in the line, rcar the river bank. There are no women in the household, nor has there been. Tt is_the practice of the Alhanians to live in such groups, one man being appointed housekeeper and paid so much per week. No Quarrel - At the place where Ali lived no quarrel or disturbance of any was heard at about the time All is supposed to have been murdered. Tt is believed, though, that he was mur- Gered at Goodyear, the body wrapped as described, the chains used being from old speeders discarded from the mill, and then taken to some point near Attawauzan in some kind of a vehicle and thrown in the river, with the expectation that the stream would forever hide the crime within its bos- om, the heavy stone helping to ac- complish this.

From Waterbury came the information, 2 friend of Ali's furnishing it, that he had been mur- dered. Local and state police worked on the case, questioned the men who are now locked up, but nothing of valus was developed and the case was dropped. No charges have been preferred against the men now held here. ‘There is a week’s pay due the dead man at the mill of the Goodvear Cot- ton company. No Money Found, Nothing of value was found upon All's person in the search made at the undertaking rooms. The man had on a pair of blue trousers, coarse but good underwear, an outside shirt, a fancy vest, stockings and a pair of practically 'new black shoes. The fan- cy vest helped make his identification Guite certain as Sabri All, for he used to wear this garment to work at times. There was no money in his pockets. The body was very carefully and securely wrapped, the only portion of it that showed when it was taken from the water being the right hand, which protruded from tke burlap fo the wrist. The heavy stone was firmly in for military service enroliment June 5. It has been decided that the usual voting places in the three districts of the town will be used for registration, these places in Danlelson, Dayville and Bast Killingly. The registrars of voters under Mr. Gilbert will be In active charge of the enrollment, with a number of deputies that. probably will be appointed to- day. The intention is to have a suffi- cient number in the enrolling force to prevent unnecessary delays in pro- ceeding with the work, Thursday a form letter had been prepared for sending to the different manufacturing concerns, asking their co-operation in the work to be done, and which they may facilitate by checking up their employes who, under the law will be required to register, 2nd by making it easy for such em- ployes to get to the registration places at convenient hours. It has been said that much time can be saved and delays prevented If a steady stream of registrations can be kept coming all day of June 5, and in this manner also extreme rushes at the noon hour and in the evening hours can be avoided. MISS PILLING'S REPORT To be Presented at Mesting of State Federation. on As chairman of the federation’s committee on education, Miss Emma F. Pilling will make a report on edu- cation in Connecticut at the annual convention of the State Federation of Woman'’s clubs in Bridgeport tcday. The following, relative to rural schools, is an extract from Miss Pill- ing’s report: Improvement of Rural Schools. Many of the clubs of the state have done cefinite work in this direction. The Madison Woman's club has been mstrumental in starting a Parent- Teacher Association, and has placed a fine hird chart in one of the pri- mary room: The Washington Woman's club has Dbeen most clovely associated with the schools ever since its organizatis Perhaps they can no longer be said to have rural schools as they have a centralized school housed in a good brick building. The club is trving to arrange for school lunches and hepe to accomplish it next year. There is a possibility of providing apparatus for a playgiound. The New London Woman's club has siven a picture to one of the rural schools. The Danielson Art club gave up its first meeting of the vear to a discus- sion of the rural schools. The disc: sion was especially interesting as one of the participants is herse'f a splen- dia product of the rural school of a seneration ago. Last year I mad~ an appeal for the 1ural school. Today I bring you quite as urgent appeal from Mrs. Barry, the chalrman of rural schools commitiec of the National Federation. A bulle- tin dated January 29, 1917, sent to the federated clubs, says in _ part: “The Unjted States Bureau of Educs tion has inaugurated a nation-wide campaign for the betterment of rural schools. Every ‘agency of state and ration is called on to be organized and put in motion for the purpose of =iving the rural schools a square deal” “Through the press, Dr. P. P. Ciax- ton, commissioner of education, and Secretary Lane of the department of the interior, have made an urgent ap- peal to_the peopie of the entire coun- try to help in the campaign.” 1 had hoped to be able to present to you at this meeting something of a survey of the state that we mizht have clearly before us the status of the rural schools of Connecticut, but the laborers have been too few fir the task.” T am sure the cominz ¥ we are going to do better for T shall ask for volunteers who will be will- ing to do the work in their own im- mediate neighborhood.

On a bench warrant issued fn the superior court for Hampden County, Mass., a woman known as Bella Pesce, as named in the warrant, was taken into custody at a local hotel early Thursday_morning and turned over to David J. Manning of the detective de- partment of the the state of Massa- chusetts and taken to Springfieid, where she is to face a charge of hav- ing conducted a disorderly house. The woman arrived here late Wed- nesday night with a younger woman and registered as Mrs. Smith. The younger woman registered as Anna Smith. After her arrival she got into com- munication, by telephone, with a party in Woonsocket, where Detective Man- ning had been on the lookout for her, and this fact became known to the of- ficer, who, having located her her: hired a machine and hurried to this city arriving here in the early hours of Thursday. Sergeant Julius Cordier accomp- anied Detective Manning to take Mrs, Hotel Pesce into custody. The woman madc no objection to going back to Sp-ing- field with the officer and eventually bargained with, the chauffeur that had brought Detective Manning here to drive her and the officer and Miss Smith to Springfield, expressing her preference to going that way instead of on the train. From a fine fat roll she paid the $25 asked by the chauffeur to make the trip. After the party had left a man ar- rived in town, sought out Captain Ry- an and asked what had become of the woman. He was informed that tha party had left for Springfield. There- upon he made the statement that he was the woman's husband. MILITARY CENSUS RETURNS First Card Received by Town Clerk Flagg From Worcester. Town Clerk David Flagg received Thursday the first of the military con- sus returns to be made by a Putnam man. The card was filled out in Worcester by Harry L. Hopkins, 23, whose home is in this city. Mr. Hop- kins is employed by the Persons Au- tomatic Machine company in Wor- cester and his address in that city is 728 Main street. The receipt of the card was some- thing of a surprise to Mr. Flagg. No instructions to receive military census returns before June 5 have been re- ceived here! neither have cards For filing the data required been receiv- ed. - Tividently the taking of returns is underway in the Massachusetts city, however, for the card is on the officiai form that is to be used and all about it is in regular form. Plans for taking the census here and making it complete are being worked out by First Selectman C. E. Pierce. It was stated Thursday afternoon that the actual work of the enroliments will be Whitman aDnielson, City Clerk Thomas P. Ryan, George Potvin and Leon T. Wilson. It was stated Thursday afternoon that the assistance of mill men and other employers of labor will be sought in making the registration for this city complete. The mill men will be asked to let men who are called upon to register out from worl for a brief period some- time during the day. Some mills will be asked it is said to let thos of their employes who are to register out at a certain hour, from another mill at another hour, etc. By this means a steady flow of men will be kept coming to the place of registration ,which will be at the municipal building on Church street, and will prevent un- usual rushes to register at the noon in the evening. The hours 7 a m. will be from 7 hour and for registration to 9 p. m. Coroner Inspects Trench. Coroner Arthur G.

The death of Ellen Elvina Shippee, wife of Caleb Shippee, occurred at their home_here Thursday, aged 72 years. Mrs. Shippee was a native of the town of Killingly, but had been a resident of this city for many years. On July 16, 1913, Mr. and Mrs. Shippecobserved the golden anniver- sary of their wedding which, a half century before, was performed at Put- nam Heights. Mrs. Shippee leaves her husband, three sons, Caleb, Jr. Wiliam. Eimer, and a daughter, Mary Ellen, all of this city. Want Milk Reports Published. The petition to the common council on the subject of having greater pub- licity given to milk reports, as made up from inspections in this city, was being circulated for signatures Thurs- day. A number of signatures were ob- tained While not objecting to any legitimate mezns of improving the milk supply. and the publishing of results of inspec- tion may prove an aid, there are those in the city, including some of the milk producers,” who ciaim that they are now doing the best they can toward the end of having the milk they seil as pure as possible. What they fear is over-regulation and the surrounding of the milk producing business with so many requirements that it will be un- able much longer to produce milk un- less there is a substantial increase in the price paid them for the commod- ity.

Chandler is to A COLD SPRING DOESN'T MEAN A HARVEST- LESS AUTUMN (Written Specially For The Bulletin.) When everything seems to be going wrong, a persistent series of mischanc- es adds unlucky day to unlucky day till the long list seems likely to stretch on to the orack o' doom—under such circumstances it is hard for us o appreciate the fact that there is, nevertheless, a grand average in Na- ture which may be relied on to even things up, sooner or later. Take such a spring as this has been with its exasperating weather condi- tions of rain and cold renewing them- seives morning after morning and night after night, till it seemed as if our goils were doom=d to an _eternal mud-bath in frozen slime, and it has Dbeen very hard to hold to any sort of reasonable assurance that things would, even yvet, turn out with any de- gree of rightness In solid and sober truth, there Is no such aseurance upon which any one, as an indlvidual, mav base certain ex- pectation. There have been seasons which remained cold and unproductive, all through. The famous summer of 1816, which was “written up” so many times last year, is an example. Snow and ice every month In the year: crop failures so complete in soma sections as to bring their residents perilously near to the verge of actual famine: credible records seem to establish that this was the local character of that cold summer a hundred years ago. Dut it was an _exception. So ex- ceptional that it has passed info his- tory “the” cold summer. Tf there had been others it would have been simply cold summer among the rest. As a rule, there is an average which each season comes close to maintain- ing. No two sons are ever exactly alike. No two human faces ever are. Yet, in every human countenance, the eves and the nose and the mouth and the chin and the cheeks almost inva- riably come in the same general po- «itions and the same relations to each other. While thev are so unlike in minor detai’s that we have no diffi- enlty in recognizing individuals apart, the mencral arrangement Is always the same. No face is all nose or all mouth: nor are cheeks ever wholly missing. So with sensons. Today's weather mav be fifty degrees of cold and 'steen desrees of humidity off as compared with the record of temperature and damnness a year ago todav. Nay, the weather of the whola month mav very Iikely be markedlv different from that of the same who'e month a. vear nen Puf the chances are that, when the whold season has been llved throuzh and _its average of weather from April to November been computed, the lines of temperature and other seasonral con- ditions will be found to have fallen very nearly parallel with those of last season and the season before that and ninety-nine out of every hundred past seasons. 3 “In the lona run, things come out about 50" Uncle Tke used to sav. One star differeth from another in mory. and no two snrings are quite alike in the degree of their mensures. Put we who gaze npwards of » sim- mer night into the immensurable A tances of a blue infinity see, neverthe- less, the same stars and the same con- stellations: the same nebulous hazes far opt bevond the limits of clear vi- sion, and the came meteoric flashes stabbing the nearer darkness, that were seen in these same latit'iles when Chaldean shepherds watching #heir flocks by night first began to no- tica the heavenly bodies. Similariv, one spring i{s dry ard hot, another 1s’ sour, wet. and cold: one sommer is marked by parching drouths, and one b3 a recurrence of destructive cloud-bursts and freeh- ets: one fal by clear and dryving weather for harvestine advantage and one by continuous showers to mildew or rot the shocked and stooked crops. But, when the general average Is made up the “isatherms” and the “isobars" will generally be found to follow st ingly similar courses and merge into a strikingly like contour. us, 'way out on the telescopic fron- | tiers of the solarsystem. The very same law which holds them all in gen- eral alleglance to their masters, by its very immutability and unchangea- | bleness compels them to a' “wobbling” | in minor degree when they happen (o | come within reach of cach other’ lesser intluence. ! Al their “woblling,” however, | doesn't ever throw any one of them | wholly off the track. Indecd, their oc casional aberrant obedience to some minor sidewavs pulls of gravitation s the surest possible proof that they will never fail to obey 'he larger authori- | ty of the same law's controlling pow- er. And 8o our seasons ‘“wobble.” They | seldom follow the same identic lines of progress. They are one thing this year: and were something else. last year: and will, doubtless, be still dif- ferent next vear. It is curious that | astronomers know 80 much more about the conditions which establish the or- bits of the planets than we do about | the conditions which affect our weath- | . that they can predict and account | for p'anetary “wobblings.” while we | cannot prédict or account for weather | and seasonable “wobblings." 1 have no doubt that, when the time comes, some epoch-making discovery in the fields of natural law will enable us to understand weather frenkishness as clearly as astronomers now under- stand the cause of Mrs. Moon's va- garles in her orbitai flirtings around Ole Mar'sFa rth.
