Lordon. are working on short time. Beginning yesterday \(Mon- day), 43¢ employes of the mills are to be laid off every Monday for the next few weeks, making a four and a half day week. The Monday lay-off is announced as temporary and it is expeeted that the mills will be operating full time within month or so. The layoff- is mot genmeral. It gf- fects solely the weaving and fabric de- partments. About 278 employes at the Union street mill in New London, 50 at the New London dye house and 158 at the Norwich plant are affected. The causes assigned for the slump in the market are the present unstable selling conditions in Japan, which is the source of the sl supply, and the faet that the summer months are cotton and linen seasons racther than the silk season. A cycle of inflation of the silk mar- ket in Japan it is alleged has brought out a falling in the market price and the falling malket tends to diseourage buying. Added to this the faet that the orders are not coming in at this season has necessitated a curtailment somewhere. It si noe expected that this will spread or last long, however, as the bulk of silk goods in 'this eountry is said not to be large. The change for the better should come It was stated, before the latter part of August. The’ silk slump 1s reported to be gen- eral throughout the country and the New Jersey and ' Pennaglvania mills are re- ported to be harder hit than the local mills. With a partial suspension of pro- duction it is expeeted that the market conditions will adjust themselves and that the buyers’ confidence will be re- stored and normal conditions prevail be- fore fall. J. P. T. Armstrong manager of the Brainerd & Armstrong mills in a state- ment Monday stated that while many mills throughout the country are closing for the month of July, he did not feel that the situation here warranted a suspension to fhat extent. The company has num- erous eontraets which it intends to fill, he declared, byt it is not inclined to make any excess stock for spsculation or market gambling. The large buyers have net as yet placed their orders but the company is starting out its salesmen this week and it is expected that they will be able to pen up business somewhat. Suffi- cient raw material is on hand at the Nor- wich and New London mills to continue ' work with ene day a week curtaiiment, of & com- transtorred LEBANON AUTOIST FINED ON THEEE CHARGES Driving into Bank street from Reed street in New Londen, at the rate of 35 miles an hour, Harold J. Cummings of Lebanon barely missed hitting Patrol- man William Corcoran, who was doing traffic duty at that point Sunday after- noon, says the New London Day. The BY CHAUFFEUR Mrs. Arthur E. De of Stonington. Mrs. Arthur E. DeCordova, wire of a ‘wealthy New York broker of 201 West 34th street, was murdered by her chauf- feur, Bernard B. Geissler, Monday after- noon between 5.30 and 6 o'clock on a lonely road, in the Wolf Ngek district in the town of Stonington about three or four miles north of the horough of Ston- ington, near the Wheeler farm. sAlthough as far as known no one witnessed the tragedy, it is believed that Geissler fired two shots from a Colt's automatic into the body of Mrs. De Cordova just below her left breast, the bullets emtering her heart and killing her instantly, and then turned the gun on himself, emptying it into his brain. He was still alive at an early hour this morning. James F. Brown, who was driving along the road in a lumber wagon a few minutes after the shooting discovered the bodies of both Mrs. DeCordova and Geis- sler lying near the automobile in which they had been seen riding earlier in the afternoon. Mrs. DeCordova's body lay beside the road while Geissler lay crum- pled over a barway about six feet from the body of his vietim, Geissler was alive when found and Mr. Brown notified Dr, Thurman Main and Dr. H. F. Thur- ber of the town of Stonington who ar- rived a short time later. Geissler was removed to the Lawrence Memorial hos- pital in New London. Dpeuty Sheriff W. F. Broughton was called and ‘made an investigation of the facts in the case together with Medical Examiner Gray of the town of Stoning- ton. Mrs. DeCordova, with her two chil- dren ,a son about 20 and a daughter about 17, had been staylng at The Gris wold, at Eastern Point. On Monday af- terneon Mrs. De Cordova with her chauf- feur, left the hotel about 2 o'clock in Mrs. De Cordova's automobile. They had apparently been driving about the coun- try in the vicinity of Stonington during the afternoon as several of the neople in that loeality had seen the machine Cordova, Wife of a New York Broker, Diés at the Hands of Bernard B, Geissler, Her Chauffeur— Fino’TwoBulkulntotheWom;n’lsody‘l,ldThn on Lonely Road About Three Miles North of Borough NEAR pass their hduses, Mrs. De Cordova rid- ing in the front seat with the chauffeur, laughing and talking Wwith him. The last house they passedgwas the home of James Main, only a short dis- tance from the place where the shooting took place, Mr, Main saw Mrs. De Cor- dova riding beside Geissler and laughing with him. They had been gone several minutes when shots were heard. In the automobile after the shooting a half empty bottle of Scotch whiskey was found and on the floor of the ma- chine was several half-smoked cigarettes. A basket of wet clothes, or wet wash was also found in the machine. At the time of the shosting it was not known who the woman was but on the man was found his chauffeur’s license bearing his name. The Hotel Griswold was called and the manager of the hotel came to the scene and identified the body of the woman as Mrs. De Cordova, a guest at the hotel. The body was removed to an under- taking establishment in Mystic where upon examination it was found that the bullets from Geissler's gun had pierced the heart, one going completely through the body 'and out the right side, hitting a corset steel in pas.ng. The other bul- let was found just under the skin near the shoulder blade. Geissler was taken to New TLondon in the ambulance of the Westerly Sanitary corps where he was immediately operated upon. It was found at the hospital that there were holes in. the head through which the brains were rupning out. At midnight there was little or no chance of Geissler recovering eonsciousness. No motive for the crime is known, Geissler having been chauffeur for the family for the past two years. Mrs. De Cordova was a woman about 40 years of age and the chauffeur was about 32 years DR. WILLIAM BROWNING, WRITE: OF JONATHAN CARVER, EXPLORER Dr. William Browning, of Brooklyn, N. Y. who has been visiting his_sister, Miss Sarah P. Browning, of The Osgood, Norwich, has contributed to the Wiscon- sin Magazine of History a carefully pre- pared paper on The Barly History of Jonathan Carver, the explorer. Dr. Browning, whe was a Norwich Free Academy student in two elasses be- fore entering Sheffield, Yale, later study- ing in German universities. is professor of neurology in the Long Island Medical college. He is one of the country’s em- inent specialists in his chosen field and has served as president of the American Association of Medical Librarians. His special interest in Carver grew out of a stury of physicians who had distinguish- ed themselves as explorers, published re- cently in the New York Medical Record. Mr. Browning, who has the title of Ph. B, as well-as M. D, tells more about the career of Carver in a pam. Dhlet entitled, Some of Our-Medical Ex- plorers and_Adventurers. Jorathan Car- ver, who, Dr. Browning verities, was born in~Weymouth, Mass, April 18th, 1776, is frequently given as a native of Connecticut, for the reason that his father, Ensign David Carver immigrated to Canterbury, Cenn., prier to 1717. Faects from probate and histbrical and town Tecords are learnedly cited by Dr. Brown- ing to show the prominence of the Car- -ver family in early Canterbury histoy. Johnathan Carver studied medicine probably with Dr. Elisha Perkins, son of the famed physician of Lisbon, Dr. Jo- seph Porkins. Carver was captain in the campaigns of the French and Indian war (1757-§3). Then he undertook to ex- Dlore the vast territory claimed by Great Britain in North America, and to find, as he savs, “a North West passage, or a communication between Hudson's Bay and the Pacific Ocean.” He left Boston in 1766, reached Mack- inaw, the remotest English post, and ‘Wwent on beyond the Mississippi. In 1787 he explored the morth shore of Lake®Su- perior. He visited twelve Indian tribes, lived as a native, and learned their language. He returned to Boston in 1768, having spent two vears and five months, traveling 7.000 miles. for his narrative of his explorations, he went to England in 1769. finally dying in destitution in London. He had arrang. ed for a later expedition, but was stop- Ped, by the Revolution. Although Carver had all the charact- ies of the true explorer, promised sup- possible that, as the son of a Brit- old. 3 The husband of the murdered woman was notified of the shooting by the Ston- ington authorities. MISS H®LEN €. HAMILTON BRIDE OE ARCHIBALDP MITCHELL, 4TH Monday evening at 7.30 o'clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George W.

O, L. R. A, M, A. R. C. M., organist of Shawland’s U. F. church, and deputy organist of Glasgow cathedral, Glasgow. Scotland. This recital was given in ful- filment of a promise made seven years ago to the late. Miss Salina Fitzpatrick, who was the prganist of St. Andrew's at that time. Dyring. three intervals the rector of the parish, Rev. William H. Smith, an- nounced - the succeeding seléctions with |remarks upon their setting 'and Inter- pretation. One of the numbers s worthy of spe- cial mention, the old Scottish melody en- titled The Flowers of the Forest, which was rendered in two versions. The first is the oldest known folk song in Scot- land, and was copied from the famous Skene manuseript which dates from the sixteenth century and must have been written immediately after the disastrous battle of Flodden when the flames of Scottish chivalry perished. The second version is more modern, dating back 50 or 60 years, but is really founded on the older version. It was Mr. Mackay's privilege to be attached to the American troops for somé time in France during the recent War. . In the taking of the fa- mous Hindenburg line the Americans suffered severe losses and 1o these dead heroes this rendering was respectfully dedieated. According to the custom in Scotland the congregation remained standing while this memorial was being played. “The rapt attention aceorded to Mr. Maekay's music bore testimony to the thorough appreciation of the large num- ber Wwhe were present to hear him. and the Cnlture of the NEW YORKER WILL ADDRESS LOCAL CHAMBER The Norwich Chamber of Commeree will hold their monthly open meeting, Wednesday, July 21.
