WILSON 10 AWAIT DETAILS
 OF TORPEDo|NC OF U.S.SH|P
President Reserves Judgment in Incident Thorough h.
 vestigation to Be Made.

Washington, May 3-President Will son will reserve judgm ent on the tor pedoing of the American steamer Gulflight until full official details are received The president inquired about the incident when he arrived from Williamstown, Mass, today, but w:ls told that so far as White House of- ficials knew, no official word had como in.
 On the face of the despatches of ficials admit that the attack on the ship is a serious matter, but they had intended that a very thorough investi- gation shall be made and no hasty ac- ton taken.
 Secretary Bryan said that thor ough inquiry would be made, but that before official reports were received. the Washington government would make no comment.
 Should another day pass without in- formation from American officials abroad they probably will be instruct ed to get in touch with the remore localities where the Gulflight and her crew were taken. Officials assume, however, that inasmuch as the first information concerning the attack came from London, Consul General Skinner already has telegraphed his subordinate consular agents for re- ports.
 Tn official circles it was thought that the inquiry probably would disclose the fact that the attack on the Ameri- can vessel was an accident and not deliberate. In that event, it was con- sicered likely that no action would be taken by the American government beyond a demand for damages.
 The United States sometime ago, in a note to Germany in reply to the German proclamation of war zone around the British Isles and Ireland, !, said that it would hold Germany ito a strict accountability for loss of American lives or vessels.
 The inquiry which will be made through American diplomatic chan rels will be directed with a view to ascertaining the manner of the tor pedoing of the Gulfight and to fixing the responsibility for the attack. It Is believed that several days will be required to complete the investiga- tion.

CLAIM D|VORCEE TRIED TO END HER OWN LIFE Witnesses Claim Brother Said Pasqualina Cianci
 Shot Self.

That Pasqualina Cianci attempted to comit suicide yesterday at her
 home on Lilac street is the verdict of friends of Sam Carpentere, who is being held by the police on a charge of attempted murder
 Rachael Vacaynz a woman who lives at 29 Lilac street, next door to the. scene of the shooting, told her version of the cause to a Herald reporter this afternoon.
 About half past 8 o'clock yester- day morning Tommy Cianci, brother of Pasqualina, came to my house and trapped on the front door" she said. "I went to the door and the boy said | My sister wants you. He eaid nothing of the shooting. I went to the Cianci house and went up s.airs and found the girl lying on the floor. The room was full Of smoke and I thought she had burned herself. | asked What is the matter? and Angelo, another brother of the girl, said She shot herself I said some one ought to tell her mother and father and. Joe, another brother. left the house to do so. While he was away l asked where the gun was and Angelo said Joe had itv
 Mrs. CarmelIa Marine. another Lilac street woman, also claims that the shooting was a case of attempted suicide. She told a Herald man that she was in the Cianci house after the shooting and that the father of Pas qualina said the girl had shot her self. Constable Fred Wrinkle claims to have heard the father say the girl tried to end her own life. M
 The theory is being advanced that Pasqualina secured a divorce Friday expected that Carpentere would marry her and tried to end her life when she learned he would not. Car pentere went to the house, it is said, to pay a board bill
 The police did not secure the re- volver until a second trip was made to the house. At police headouar.- ters Tommy Cianci told them the gun was in the pantry, an unlikely place for would-be murderer to hide it if he was in a,hurry to leave tho scene of his crime.

LOTS q GINGER, BY HECK, AT NEWlNeTON MEETING Citizens Who Voted to Sell Old School Are Getting

One of those old fashioned knock down and drag out town meetings which helped make Newington fa- nous is on the program for o'clock Friday night in the town hall The big question to be disposed of is regarding schools and it is probable that a vote will be passed to use the town hall for school purposes next fall.
 At present Newington has four. schools, but they are inadequate to meet the growing demand. Over thirty pupils more than there are accommo- dations for are now enrolled for tl,e X fall. The four-room school at Maple Hill, "a modern building, is taxed to its capacity and the same conditions obtain at the modern four-room build ing at Newington Center The South : east school is crowded and pupils have been sent from that to the Maple Hill school The two rooms at the Juno ton are said to be taking care of as many as possible.

BUSINESS BOOMING
 ON THE RAILROAD
Every Day shows Improvement and Week Ending April 24 Was Best
 in Past Four Years

If prosperity is measured by the amount of business done by the rail- road New, Britain can be said to be resuming her industrial stride. Business is picking up every day in the local railroad yards and, accord ing to railroad officials, it is an in- crease that promises to be perma : nent. (
 April showed that business in this city is beginning to boom, but prob ably the best news from that source is that the week ending April "A was the best week, in comparison to corresponding weeks, in the past four years.
 According to railroad men 1t is impossible to compare the amount Of incoming and outgoing freight car by car with five years ago as the cars today carry as much as 100 tons while five years ago the fifty-ton car was regarded as big. Comparisons of tonnage handled show that business is picking up in every respect. There is more raw material being brought in and more coal being imported as well as a heavier traffic in finished goods bound for out-of-town points.

LESS DRINKING NOW
 THAN BEFORE WAR
Labor Leader in House of Commons, Says Lloyd George Was Mistaken
 In Statements on Subject.

London, May 3, 4:2o a. m.-W1l1 Crooks, the labor leader in the house of commons, declares in newspaper interview published today that there is less drinking in England than. pe- fore the war and that chancellor OF the Exchequer Lloyd George was mls- taken in the statements he made on the subject. MT. Crooks asserts that if less work is being lone at private ship yards some cause other than drink must be sought, and that this accusation has been spread broadcast by employers to sover up their own shortcomings.
 'I have not the slightest hesitation in saying that the Woolwich Arsenal could turn out a third more work than it is doing now" the interview de- clares. The men have insufficient work to do because of lack of or ganization. More over. although the war has lasted nine months no accom- odations yet have been provided for the men to get their meals.

CoMMIssfO OVERS MAY
 GIVE JONES LICENSE
May Overlook His Forgsetfulness in Not Applying for a Renes$si at ls2
 South Main Street..

Despite the fact that TimNthy Jones neglected to apply for renewal O. his saloon license at 192 South Main street at the proper time it is prob able that the county commissioners will overlook this fact and will grant him license just the same.
 Jones' license expires today and, according to law he should have ap- piled for renewal two weeks ago. He neglected to do so, however, and did not know of his predicament un- til he read of the situation in the Herald last week. He filed an ap- plication with the commissioners Sat urday and it is probable that they will overlook his little fauxpas and grant the license.
 Commissioner Potter told a Herald reporter today that the commissioners would consult authorities on the ques. ,tion and would most likely grant Jones a license. The only barrier in the path of the applicant is that the excise law prohibits the granting of a new license within 200 feet or a church or school. Jones' saloon is within sixty-eight feet of St. Jos eph's church and parochial school. Technically it will be necessary for the commissioners to grant a new license as the usual formalities for securing a renewal were not compiled with.

Faces Charge Of Killing Mrs. Louise
 3. Bailey on Juac 20, 1914. JUSTICE BLAcknAR Pafa.!Nc
Three Jurors Selected Before Recess of Court-Mrs. iCarnlan Asserts Right to Accept or Reject Tales n-Lunch in Jail Dining Room.

Mineola, N. r., May 3.-Mrs. Flor ence Conklin Carman was placed on trial today for the second time on the indictment charging her with the mur- der of Mrs. Louise D. Bailey at Free port on the night of June 20 last. The jury in the first trial disa greed. and Mrs. Carman has been at liberty under bond since then.
 \ Accompanied by her husband, Dr. Edward Carman, Mrs. Carman mo- tored from her home in Freeport to the court house here today. She was pale, but smiling and seemed to be in better health than when she was tried before.
 Justice Blackmar Presiding.
 Justice Blackmar presided over the X court at this second trial. In select ing the jury each side will be allowed thirty peremptory challenges, and District Attorney Smith intimated that it might require a week to present the states case alone. Several new wit nesses, it is reported, will be called by the state, but the district attorney declined to discuss this report.
 Mrs. Carman sitting besides her husband, seemed to be undisturbed and confident of the outcome as the case proceeded.
 First Juror Selected.
 Peter Rohrbach jr., village clerk of Sea Cliff, the ninth talesman ex- amined was the first juror selected. The eight men who preceded him were dismissed for various reasons.
 When recess was taken three jurors had been selected. Mrs. ,Carman, it was noted today, asserts the right to. accept or reject a talesman. At her previous trial juror she ob- jected to was accepted by her lawyers. That j., juror, rpr was stated, was one of the tow to vote flor epnyiction. Have bunch in Jaiisa Mrs. Carnan was not locked lip during the recss. She and her hus- band.ssnowever. had luncheon in the jail dining room in order to escape attention from a curious crowd that Hooked about the court house. X One of the questions to be deter mined today was whether Mrs. Car mans $25.0O0 bail would be contin- ued or whether she would be com nitted to jail while the trial was in progress.
 No New Evidence.
 Counsel for Mrs. Carman said said before the trial began that he had no new evidence to offer and that the number of witnesses for the defense would be reduced by the fact that Frank J. Farrell, the tramp who tes- tified against Mrs. Carman in the first trial. was not to be called by the prosecution this time
