Chapman, who was with, the constable, has been arrested in Liverpool, O., and is held there for Sherift Sidney A. Brown of this coun- ty. Sheriff Brown got word on Saturday evening of the arrest of the man whom he has been looking for for three weeks in the following telegram from Chief of Police McDermott of Bast [Liverpool: Bast Liverpool, O., May 2, 1918, Sidneéy A. Brown, Sheriff New London County We haveé Simuel Salsberry in cus- toay. He will return without extradi- tion papers., Wire instructions, HUGH 'M'DERMOTT, Chief of Police. A telegram stating that officers from here would be sent after the man was at once despatahed to East Liverpool and’ Sheriff Brown had Deputy Sher- iffs Herbert A. Draper and J. H. Tubbs start by the earliest train possible. They got away by the 10.42 Washing- ton express from New London. State’s Attorney Well Pleased. State's Attorney Hadlai, A. Hull of New London was also notified of the ‘apture of the Murderer of the Pres- ton constable and warmly congratu- lated the sheriff upon the success that has attended the way the sheriff has | Bro followed up the case. Since a week ago Friday Sherifft Brown has felt certain that he would hear most any day of the capture of Salsberry at Bast Liverpodl, for he had a clue furnished him then that he was eure would be the one that would locate the fugitive there. . Last Monday he wrote to Police Chief Mc- Dermott, giving the Ohio officer the information to keep on the lookout for Salsberry. It was in East Liverpool that Salsberry married his wife, and he also had relatives there. It was Salsberry’s attempt to reach either his own or his wife's “alntives that gave he police their chance to arrest him. Murderer of Constable Kenriey Is Under Arrest at East Liver- pool—Officers There Acted on Clue Funished by Sheriff Brown—Deputy Sheriffs Draper and Tubbs Go West to ] . Letters Found at Salsberry’s Home. Bver since Salsberry disappeared after shooting Kinney and Chapman, Shetiff Brown has believed that the murderer would get away from this vieinity ana while he sparéd no pains to run down any clues that were of- fered of the man's presence in Preston near his home, he figured Salsberry would be found in some other part of the country. In a search of the house a number of letfers were seized. From these the sheriff warned the police of- ficials of a dozen different places to be on the watch for Salsberry, but it was not until last Friday that he obtained the clue that he felt certain would resilt before Iong in Salsberry landing in the hands of the law.

Had Plenty of Money. Salsberry had plenty of money with him when he went away, but he left his family practically destitute. Sheriff wn is eonfident that Salsberry has not ‘been able to communicate with his family since he left here, aithough Mrs, Salsberry has been making con- stant effort to get in touch with.him. The sheriff has taken no stock in the supposition that the man had commit- ted suicide, which was one of the theorles advanced from the report that the sound of a'single shot had been heard in the neighborhood of the mur- derer’s home shortly aftsr he had dis- appeared. The woods were thoroughly searched in that vicinity and every move of each member of the family has been kept track of by the sher- iff's officers ever since the man dis- appeared. 1’0' CONGRESSMAN FREEMAN'S Six hours after high water | tide, whieh is followed by flood tide.

The first war-time conservation is- sue of the Connecticut Téelephone Di- rectory has made its appearance usnd becomes effective May 26th. The new directory presents several innoyations, principal among them be- ing the announcement of a change in the method of receiving subscribers’ complaints of line and instrument troubles and operating defects. Heretofore it has been the cus- tom when line or instrument trouble developed- in a telephone for the Sub- scriber-to call the complaint operator and give notice of the trouble. Begin- ning with the effective date of this di- rectory, subscribers are asked to call repair clerk, when desiring to report troubles of 'this nature. The new procedure for filing such complaints was. inaugurated - because it has proven more satisfactory than the other in places where, at different times both have been used. It means, also, a more direct and expeditious handling of all such complaints and will make for greater speed, accuracy and efficiency in taking care of ail line and instrument trouble com- plaints. However, if it is desired to make a complaint of a defect in operating service, that is, a defect for which the human element appears to be re- sponsible, it should be made to the chie operator. A new feature of the directory is the omission of the thumbcut by which subscribers were enabled to turn to the section of the book most fre- quently used. The elimination of the thumbcut is a conservation measure in accord with the spirit of the times, which in no way lessens the useful- ness of the book, nor abridges the in- formation it formerly contained. One of the officials of the company when asked why the thumcut <was omitted from :l tory said many causes led to change. One important reason was the fact that thumbcut books were hot interchangeable among the telephone exchanges in the state and this caus ed much_inconvenience on many oc casions. Books thumbeut for Hartford could not be used in New Haven and vice versa. Another reason is found in the fact that the thumbcut requited that the books intended for each ex- changze receive separate attention and hoo's marked by the thumbcus fre- auently c/used confusion in shipping. Embargoes -placed by the railroad on certain classes of shipments, included among_which is the telephone direc- tory, likewise infiuenced this change as with the elimination of the thumb- cut all the books are alike and they can he shipped without delay and routed to avoid the embargoes. The can also be interchanged among the s as they are needed. The advantages from this change, accpding to the Telephone comynany imarily, will also be appreciable standpoint of the telephone using public. The absence of the thumbeut will not be felt to any extent by the users of the book.

A. and 66 of them partook of the Sunday ‘break- fast in the lobby. Long before 9.30, the time for breakfast, the boys in blue and khaki began assembling in the lobby, and while walting for the announcement that breakfast was ready, they list- ened to piano and graphiphone mu- sic, and a good sized group entered heartily into the singing of popular songs. In due time Secretary Edwin Hill made the welcome announcement that “eats” were ready, and the fel- lows filed to the tables, and all the chairs, and then “some more” were e g e re is absolutely no doubt that these home cooked' breakfasts are popular with the brave fellows in the service, and it is certainly a real joy to note the appreciation shown by them. Just before breakfast was finished, the general secretary introduced Shepard B. Palmer, who briefly and interestingly he spoke to the boy: The speaker said that he was ver glad to see the fellows at the Y. and hoped they would visit the asso- ciation more and more. I wondered what to say to you, and was remind- ed of the man who said that the boys in the seryice wanted something plain and practical, and not the things that were in the air. I look upon you as real patriots; men who are willing to dare and die, if need be, for your country, I remember when I was a boy how my parents used to tell me about those who worshipped idols, and it made a deep impression on my mind. The god that Germany wor- ships and the God we Americans wor- ship are two distinct and qifferent Gods: we have no use for the god of Germany, but we will endeavor to he true to the God of America, who was shown us in the person of Jesus Christ. Every one of you fellows have your own personal battles to fight, and sometimes they are flerce indeed; someone has said that the hardest hattle a man hag te fight is within the four walls of his own room, by treasurer, Mary A.

Joseph's Service Flag. Sunday afternoon the service flag with 90 stars, for St. Joseph’s church was dedicated with approoriate cere- monies at St. Joseph's church, Rev, I. V. Maciejewski, the rector of the of the church preached a stirring ser- mon, iaking as his theme, Loyalty to America and to the Allies and patriot- ism in general. After the services in the chur¢h the congregation marched to Pulaski hall where a patriotic rally was held with Dr. Synaowski o) Bridgeport as the principal speaker. He spoke on the Red Cross and on the nscessity of carrying on the war There were about 800 present at the in France were secured as the result of the speaking. Personals and Notes.

The general appearance of the in- side of the directory has been great- Iy improved. - All* the unnecessary waste of space, which heretofore mar- red the appearance of the pages, has been avoided by closing up the type matter and also making them appear much more business like and sightly In directing these ecomomie: when corsidered individuall large in the aggregate, the Telephone company was enabled to effect a sav- inz of considerable white print pa- ner in each book, which fact is im- portant in view of the well krown shortage of paper. An interesting feature of the direc- tory is found in the outside of the back cover which is given over to am advertisement urging the purchase of War Savings Stamps. This space was hiven to this cause by the com- pany on the request of government authorities in charge of the War Sav ings Stamps sales in this territor. READY TO BUILD NEW POWER PLANT Contractor Has Men at Work at Lo- cation Near Bartlett's. Permission has been secured, and all arrangements with government of- ficials _and others interested made so that the work of constructing an elo- that the work of constructing an elec- tric power plant and erecting aerial high tension electric cables across the Thames river, just this side of Bart- lett’s for the transmission of electric power can be done. A public hearing was recently held in the United States Engineers’ office in New London. Coy. 8. W. Rossler presided, and ‘he ques- tion of the minimum clearance of this wire was considered. The company which is to have the cables erected is the Fastern Connec- ticut Power Co., and the contract has been awarded to a Springfield con- cern which has done a large amount of work for the Groton Iron Works. It is estimated that it will cost a fiillion and a half dollars to con- struct a modern power house and in- stall the electric light plant and carry the cables across the river. The plant is to be erected on the west shore and the electric power will be fur- nished principally for the submarine base, which is now almost a city in itself. Power will also be furnished to the town of Groton and to other industries or communities in the neighborhood. The cables will have to be swung from steel towers on either side of the river and it has been decided that the minimum clearance shall be 175 feet, One of the superintendents for the contracting compony has taken Rev. J. A. Elder’s cottage near Bartlett's and will raside there, while looking after this big contract. A gang of about 100 men are al- ready at work building shacks, dig- ging wells and making the other pre- parations for carrying out the plans.

THE DUTY OF CATHOLICS _\Lmr From Bishop Nilan Read "Sunday, Requests Patriotic Self-Denial as Commissioner Hoov- er Recommends. In all the Catholic churches of this diocese Sunday there was read a cir- cular letter from Bishop Nilan em- phasizing the importance of con- servation of foods, especially of meat and meat products, sugar, wheat and wheat products. Statistics furnished by Commissioner -Hoover were quot- ed to accentuate the urgency of this form of seif-denial, that the supplies to the allied armies and to our own men in the field may go forward with- out interruption until “at least a!ter the next wheat harvest is secured. Bishop Nilan, in his customary di- rect and forceful way, made plain the patriotic duty of Catholics to cheer- fully adopt every possible sacrifice in this ragard, as well as to labor to in- crease the food supply by extra crop raisinz, and the most frugal and pains- taking conservation of food by drying, canning and the like. At the high mass in St. Patriek's church, when the preacher was Rev. Peter J. Cuny, the letter of the Right Reverened Bishop was commented up- on, and the congregation exhorted to adopt its suggestions with prompt and hearty willingness and patriotic com- pliance. s Father Cuny chose as his sermon text certain phrases from the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, who is especial- ly venerated by the Catholic churck during the month of May. The Meth- er of God, the Mother of-Christ, left by the Saviour Himself t6 be our Mother, was considéred as the great- est spiritual influence ever rigen from human ranks. The devout Catholic's affectivnate invocations of the Blessed Virgin in this litany were utilized as suggestions for thoss Special devo- tions which Christians should cherish in honor of one who is refefred to as Virgin most powerful, Mother of our Creator, Mother of @ivine grace, Refuge of sinners, Queen of peace, whose virtues, if imitated would bring true peace to a distracted world, Our Lady of Victory, whose intercession with her Divine Son may bring about that victory which all desire, and who, like Almighty Ged Himself, only waits {o be asked by man to render abundant aid. The preacher reminded his audi- tors of the importance of frank and open devotion to that most pure, most chaste, most renowned -and most faithful Mother, best manifested by at- tendance at those special services of veneration in her homor at the daily moming mass at 7 o'clock and at the Tuesday eveninz devotions, to finish up_this month of May.
