A work train, a part of the contractars’ equipment, was a siding and Mr. Aitken stepped between two of the cars he had coupled as thefast train approached. Men of the contracting gang shouted to him. He evidently heard the warn- ing and appreciated the danger. He made a backward step and as he did =0 he slipped on the trap rock ballast of the roadbed and pitched forward on the tracks directly in front of the train. He was struck on the left side of the head by the locomotive and tossed to the side of the track. Death was instantaneous. Just as the train rounded the curve near where the fa- occurred the engincer saw the om between the cars, tooted the whistle, applied the brakes, and, 1t is said, stopped the fast-going train within one thousand feet.

Attorney Warren Chase, formerly of Westerly, who was a representative from Stonington in the Connecticut legislature of 1891, created a rumpus at the meeting of the town council of South Kingston. The matter under consideration was the petition of Mar- tin Dykstra, who leases oyster grounds in Point Judith pond, to be not only protected in the matter of oysters, but also “clams, gquohaugs, scallops and other shell fish.” Mr. Chase said he represented hundreds of workingmen who could not be present to volce their protest to the petition. In the course of his remarks Mr. Chase made state- ment that the Dykstras had robbed Potter’s pond. Mr. Dykstra shouted that the statement was a falsehood. There was much excitement, which was quieted when President Kimball called a halt in the debate. The pe- titloner was given leave to withdraw. Capt. Herbert M. Knowles of South Kingston, superintendent of the Third district, coast guard service, attended the annual meeting and banquet of the urfmen’s Mutual Benefit association n Newberne, N.

In his hcme where he lived alone on a cross road leading from the Na- thaniel G. Williams place to Bush Hill, in the town of Brooklyn, the body of Willilam Whiting, who Is belleved to ‘have been about 47 years of age, was discovered Wednesday morning. So far as could be learned Wednesday, Whiting had not been seen alive since last Sunday, and the impression was that death had occurred some time during Monday. Dr.. A. H. Tanner, medical examiner for the town of Brooklyn, viewed the body. The death certificate gives acute alcoholism as the cause of death. ‘Whiting had lived in Brooklyn for a number of years. He was employed as a laborer and had worked at the Bush Hill farm and also had been will in day Rev. William F.

They demand a nine hour day at present pay, time and one- half_pay for holidays and double pay for Sundays. The officers of the Westerly Bx- change for Woman's Work held a ses- sion Wednesday nisht and gave con- sideration as to the future of the or- ganization. This was on account of the high price of foodstuffs and the large expense of maintaining the ex- change. No definite action fas reached. A committee of the Westerly Retail Merchants' association, composed of E. Howard Clarke, LaClede Woodmansee, Andrew W. isher, Robert Duff and John C. Stanton, will endeavor . to raise a subscription of $400 for band concerts during the summer in Wilcox park. The town has appropriated $100 [for the purpose. In Westerly Wednesday, from 9 to 3, the sum of $40,350 was subscribed for liberty bonds, bringing the total up to $202,450, or within $97.550 of the sum allotted to Westeriy. The banks ‘were open Wednesday night from 7 to 9 to accommodate those who could not call during regular banking hours.

BELLS, WHISTLES, SONGS Will Sound at Noon Today to Remind Townspeople Liberty Bonds Are for Sale. . Subscriptions for the lberty loan flowed in a steady stream into local banks Wednesday, when workers were putting forth their hardest efforts to meet this dlstrict’s apportionment of $267,000, the largest sum ever asked for at one time in this section. At mills throughout the town, in the business section of the borough, in residential streets and throughout the villages of Killingly and in the town of Brooklyn teams of workers were exerting a steady pressure for sub- scriptions, and with good resuits. The men, women and children in the district who have subscribed for bonds of the $50 and_ $100 denominations would, If assembled, make up a very impressive legion of patriotic support- ers of the government. Unfortunately, there was also found a quota of lag- sards, persons who measure their patriotism by the amount of interest in sight in this hour of national peril. As the total of subscriptions climbed hour by hour, it is impossible to give an exact total of what has been pledged here up to Wednesday night, but it was conservatively estimated at from $220,- 000 to $230,000. That means that the district must extend itself beyond any Previous single day's record of sub- scriptions if within the final 24 hours now at:hand it is to be listed in the towns of the United States that have done their full part in creating the great loan of two. billion dollars. To the end that the district may do it, the central liberty loan committee sent out a request Wednesday that all church and school bells, factory and mill_bells and whistles sound out a warning chorus for a period of three minutes beginning at noon today. This applies to all parts of the town and parts of the district not in the town Red Cross Committes Appointed. The special committee, Ciarence A. Potter, chairman, of the Danielson chaptér of the American Red Cross that is_to make a canvass here June 15-25. Red Cross week, in aid of the $100.000.000 fund for use of the organ- ization during the war, is ready for its work which will begin Monday. A similar campaign will be insti- tuted at the same time in every city and town in the United States. A Red Cross officer said here TWed- nesday: “This Is no time for a man to say. ‘Well. so many calls have been made upon my pocketbook that 1 don't feel as if T could afford to give to the Red Cross, This is an_inopportune call.’” Well, it is inopportune also that millions of brave men are dving or suffering that we may remain a nation, not a German province. It is inopportune that milllons of _women and children are miserable and hope- less and starving. Also a German Sovernor-general of occupied America would be rather inopportune.” This is the spirit of the Red Cross, which will ask here next week for the support of all who have or can have any conception of what the organiza. tion does and will do for those who fight and suffer that others may live in security and comfort. Fines for Violating School Laws. Louis Barstow, before the Kiliingly town court, charged with not sending his son Howard to the Valley school regularly, and with disturbing the school, pleaded guilty and was fined $5 on each count, with costs, amount- ing to_$17.95. Also, John J. Meadow was before the same court for employing a boy 15 years of age without any certificate on file. as the law directs, was fined $19 and costs, total $15.15. Both fines and costs were paid. Both cases were brought on complaint of one of the agents of the state board of-education of Connecticut. Faucts inctuae’ spark plug and other such accessories for cars. + i Liberty Loan at Least $250,000. Putnam’s Liberty loan subscriptions continued to show new high totals op ‘Wednesday and the prospect of their reaching a final total of at least $250,- 000 seems very good. HASSEN ALI, MANIAC, ;4 . ATTACKS POMFRET POSTMASTER Later Fires Five Shots at Warden, One Taking Effect—Ali, Captured, - Committed to Norwich State Hospi- Attacked by a madman, who was armed with a wicked looking dirk, Postmaster Frank O. Davis of Pom- tret battled for his life at his home near Abington, early Wednesday morning. Postmaster Davis emptied the contents of his revolver at his as- sailant in the thrilling encounter, one of the five shots taking effect. But even this did not deter the maniac, who continued his attack until he ap- parently had Mr. Davis at his mercy, only, for some non-understandable reason, to cease abruptly and waik out of the house. The man was later captured on the highway not distant from the barn on the Joseph Elliott place and was brought to this city by Deputy Sher- ift George F. Holbrook. He proved to be Hassen Ali, an_ Albanian, 32 years of age, who been employed for several years in the mill at North Grosvenordale and who is violently insane. Later Ali was turned over to First Selectman Leon T. Walker of toel town of Thompson. During’ the day he was legally adjudged insane and was taken to the state hospital at Norwich. The man was not seriously wounded by the shot from Mr. Davis’ revolver, the bullet hitting Ali In the shoulder. . - - Followed Postmaster Home. It was just before 5 o'clock Wed- nesday morning when Mr. Davis, who had just arisen, saw Ali in the vard. Phe ‘man" has" followed . Mr. Davis en his_way home from the post office the night before, so the postmaster scent- ed trouble and armed himself with a revolver. Then he put in a telephone call for Sheriff Holbrook, in Put- nam, and it was while Mr. Davis was standing at the instrument putting through the call that Ali, unobserved, crawled through an open window in the pantry and made his way into the room where Mr. Davis was. Crouching, Ali snapped forth his ugly looking knife and prepared _to attack. “Don’t come nearer or Til shoot you,” was Mr. Davis' warning to Ali, but it went unheeded as_the man lunged forward. Mr. Davis fired and backed away. The bullet struck Al but it seemed only to increase the man's passion and he charged at Mr. Davis with all the fury of a wild beast. Two more shots rang out as Mr. Dapis backed out into a_hallway and then two more, but under the stress of the excitement the postmas- ter's aim, good ordinarily, was not effective and the four shots ~went amiss. 5 To Defend His Life. Then, with the chambers of the weapon emptied, Mr. Davis threw the revolver to the floor and backed against the wall to fight as best he might the frightful prospect before him. At this stage Ali, governed by the vagaries of an insane mind, switched from his knife attack and grabbing up an umbrella struck Mr. Davis over the head, breaking the umbrella off at the handle. The man then turned about _and lef: the house, from which ‘a Liberty Bond — your ahare may be small, but every bit helps THE THAMES NATIONAL “TIZ" FOR SORE, TIRED FEET--AH! 4TIZ” 1S GRAND FOR ACHING, SWOLLEN, TENDER, CAL- LOUSED FEET OR CORNS Ah! what relief.

At a meeting of B. F. Hoxie Bngine company held in their rooms on Cot- trell street, the resignation of ‘the foreman, Edward McKone was read. Mrs. Davis had been driven through terror. Maniac Captured. Mr. Davis hurried to his nearest neighbor’s, Andrew Furlong’s, and told of the attack upon him. Messages Were flashed all over that territory to the end of rounding up Ali and it was not long befors a report came in that Ali had Dbeen seen near the El- liott barn. It was in that direction that Sheriff Holbrook was speeded when he arrived in his automobile and he was prompt in locating Al The man surrendered without a show of resistance to the sheriff and his assist- ants. Search of the man developed the fact that he had rid himself of the knife with which he started his attack upon Mr. Davis. Pefore 7 a. m. Ali was locked up at police head- quarters here. First Seen Tuesday. All was first seen in Pomfret Tues- day afternoon soon after he arrived there on a train from Putnam. The man acted strangely and begged food from house to house. At 8 o'clock Tuesday evening when Postmaster Davis closed the office, which is in Warren Averill's store, and started for his home which fis about a mile away, he noticed that Ali was following him. The man secmed threatening, so Mr. Davis stop- Ped at the home of Louis Averill and telephoned to Sheriff Holbrook. In the meantime Ali approached the house and mumbled something about a train. He was told to hurry back to the station and catch one that was about due for Putnam. He started in the direction of the station, but turned again as Mr. Da- vis left the Averiil houre and followed after him. An approaching car’s head- lights threw their glare upon Ali and he turned about and fled. Appeared in Underwear Orly. Spreading the news of this Mr. Da- vis soon had several men out hunting for Ali. Eventually the man appeared at Peal’ garage. By this time he was minus ail his clothing excepting his underwear. With his aid, the men at the garage were able to recover Ali's trousers. which he donned and then produced his biz knife, with the evident intention of doing Some cut- ting. So Ali got away R Entered Abington House. He could not be found during the night, but at 4.30 Wednesday morn- ing walked into the home of Mrs. A. B. Smith, near Abington, with the aid of Mrs. Smith’s son-in-law, Leon- ard Watson, Ali was gotten out of the house, and evidently went from there to the Davis place. Insanity Chargeable to War. Al's friends in North Grosvenor- dale say that a few months ago he ceposited 700 in a bapk anrd then drew a check against it, forwarding the check to relatives in Albania. Not a word of acknowledgment came to him, and believing that all of his fam- iiv are dead throuxh the scourge of War, he lost his mind, becomins vin- ntiy insane. Postmaster Davis is well known in this city where he was formerly en- saged in husiness. He is a former county commissioner, has represented bhis town in the legislature and at one time was a_member of the state fish and game commission. He was com- missioned postmaster a few months ago by President Wilson.
