WASHINGTON SEES IN
 ARABIA'S LOSS TEST
 CASE WITH GERMANY
Armed Ship Dispute May Come to An Issue Through Investigation of Torpedoe- ing of British Liner.
(6y Review Leased Wire.) (By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O-Announce- ment by the semi-official Overseas News Agency that a German sub marine sank the British liner Arabia made a deep impression in official quarters here today, and apparently removed all possibility that this case might take it's place with that of the Persia, sunk in the Mediterranean long ago in some manner never cleared up. The British admiralty said the Persia was torpedoed without warning but none of the Central Powers would admit responsibility for it.
 Officials here loath to discuss the matter in the absence of official in formation, which it is understood is being sought from all sources. Some of them expressed surprise, however. that the attack on the Arabia had been semi-officially admitted. It was sug- gested that the Overseas dispatch might mean that Germany was pre- pairing to make a test in this of the armed ship" controversy with the United States or that in some way minor official, hostile to Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg's submarine policy might have allowed the dis patch to get out, seeing in it an op- portunity to force the issue. It has been known here for some time that Germany would make a bitter fight against the defensive arming of mer. chant ships.
 The contention that the Arabia was an armed transport because she car ried a fifteen centimeter gun and had workmen and war munitions aboard is not regarded here as being justified in the slightest degree. The ship was a Penisular and Oriental liner with passengers board. There was one American on his way to India. He issued an affidavit which has been for warded to the state department.

FRIEND OF MURDERED WOMAN CALLED TO
 COMPOUND DEFENSE
Prosecution in Case of Lawyer McDaniels Seeks to Dis- credit His Story That Rob. bers Killed His Wife.
(By Review Leased Wire)

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Nov. 20.-Devel- opments of the states case against Prosecutor Oscar D. Mcdaniel was gotten under way in the criminal court today with the presentation of mass of details relative to events both before and after the murder of Mrs. Harriet Moss Mcdaniel. wife of the prosecutor The prosecution at tempted its first steps in its announc- ed effort to convict the accused man through circumstantial evidence and began its attack upon McDaniel's version of how he crime was commit ted.
 The name of Mrs. Dagmar Kreuck- CT. divorced wife of St. Joseph busi- ness man and friend of the slain woman, was brought into the case to- day through the testimony of w. H. Hatherinton, former chief of detec, tiyes. She had been subjoenaed Is a states witness. Earlier in the day, the state had attempted to show that hobbers had not entered the McDaniel home the night of the murder and killed the prosecutors wife, as one of the defense theories has been.
 A blood stained pillow, its case torn and ripped said to have been from the bed of the slain woman. a motor car radiator, said to have been from McDaniel's automobile and a screen declared to have been taken from the window of the prosecuting attorneys home, were introduced by the state as exhibits. The wire of the screen had been torn. The defense claims a robber slit it to gain en- trance into the house. The motor radiator introduced by the attorneys was used in an effort to disprove Me Daniels story that he engaged in z revolver duel before entering his home about midnight and finding his wife had been attacked.
 Mrs. Kreucker was mentioned by Mir. Hatherinton in connection with a visit to the training camp about a week before the murder. He told of having seen her there with her hus- band from whom she was not then divorced and Mir and Mrs. Mcdaniel.
 He said that he had observed noth- ing unusual.

SAYS WARREN CROWDS ARE "R0UCHNECkS",
 HENCE NO FOOTBALL
Colonel Tillotson Refused to Permit 18th Infantry Team
 to Play, Claiming Spectators
 Trip Men to Help Locals.

Local patrons of football who were keenly disappointed at the failure of the c. & A.-1sth Infantry game to materialize Sunday at Warren. will be interested to learn that the con test was called off by Col. Tilotson commander of the H. J. Jones Camp at Douglas. Col Tilotson charged that the people of the Warren Dis trict permit their enthusiasm to in terfere with play. in other words, that spectators friendly to the home team deliberately interfere with visiting players
 Manager W. A Gallagher, of the c. & A team communicated with the 18th Infantry players as late as Sat urdsy afternoon. notifying them that arrangements had been completed for their entertainment. He received no hint of trouble ahead. In fact, the soldier team was preparing to leave Douglas Sunday morning. with equip ment, when peremptory orders ar rived from Col Tilotson halting their departure
 Manager Gallagher became anxious at the noon hour when the soldiers had failed to put in an appearance, and telephoned for a reason. When he learned how the case stood, he communicated directly with Col. Til otson. It is understood that the long distance conference was somewhat heated. Gallagher defending the War Ten District public against the charg- es of unsportsmanlike conduct. Gal lagher laid the trouble at the door of Lieut. Doe of the 11th Infantry, whose team was defeated by the c. & A. in the Election Day contest. Doe alleged that spectators crowding close t. ly to the lines Intentionally tripped one or more of his players. Gallagher retorts that the only player suffering from such interference was one of his own men, and that he is upheld in this contention by Lieut. Herrick, who assisted Referee Potter on Flee ton Day
 Gallagher plans to call on Col. Til otson in Douglas today and thrash out the charge that Warren District fans are guilty of unseeming conduct. As matters stood last night, Col. Til otson was disinclined to permit fur ther contests between his soldiers and the c. & A. team.

Samuel Nardone has the contract to construct modern sranolithie sidewalks III sections of High and Granite streets and Grove avenue. He commenced the work of improvement in High street when he was informed that he had no right to obstruct the side walks, even for the purpose of re- placing a gravel walk with one that is right up to the second, without the permission of the town council, and that he was liable to prosecution if he such a permit. As a result he petition ed the town council for the required permit and suspended operations. A special meeting of the town council was held Wednesday night and for a first time action was taken on a pe- tition of that nature, but which is really required under a town ordi- nance! The petition was granted by unanimous vote of the council.
 There will be another meeting of the council next Tuesday afternoon, when bids will be publicly opened for the rebuilding of the highway between Westerly and Watch Hill of the pene- tration concrete construction.

IN AND ABOUT WESTERLY
Signals Bradford Tower Found to Work Perfectly Investigation Begun at Providence-Funerals, Miss Janet Clark, Robert S. Srnith-Shed Fire Causes SIS Loss.
~ E-EzSassSSr.

A locomotive engineer Of long ex- perience states that a train like that of the Gilt EdSe express that crashed into a local train at Bradford Mon day night, and going at the rate Of fifty-five miles an hour, could not be brought to a standstiu with safety, until it lad travelled three quarters of a mile, from the point where the sig nal was given. Engineer Charles II. Mansfield has said that he could have stopped the train, and avoided the col lsion, but for the slippery condition of the rails, taking the stop signal from the home signal of the block system. This verifies the statement that the train could not be stopped with safety in less than three-quar- ters of a mile. as this train traversed more than that distance, when the To- comotive telescoped the rear car of the local, stopping about midway, and then backing away from the wrecked car. Measurements have been taken showing that from the distance signal to the point where the collision occur red was almost 5000 feet, 5,280 feet being a. mile.
 A test of the block system at Brad ford was made by George F. Ellis, chief signal inspector of the interstate commerce commissioner, and he says that the signals worked properly, and that so far, there was nothing to indicate that the signals were to blame
 
 test, it was the first time that the dis tant and home signals, which have fig ured in the wreck dispute, had been thrown since they had been set just prior to the time when the Gilt Edge express plunged into the rear end of the standing local train. The conclu- sions Of Chief Inspector Ellis were eorroborated by Inspector F. A. How ard, also of the interstate commerce commission. The investigation went the nd worked all of combinations, but could get no sign of defect. According to the inspe2- ton, the switch was set to allow the local train to pass from the main track to the siding head-on, and lever 22 was reversed, setting the dwarf signal at safety to proceed to the side track, with all other signals at danger and caution. The signals were set the same way at the inspection, and ther an attempt was made to throw the distant signal into safety, but it could not be moved by reason of the me chanical locking arrangement.
 The inquest being conducted by Coroner Everett A. Kingsley, in the Third district court room. Westerly was continued Thursday. The testi- mony of several other witnesses is tc be taken before the inquest, closes.
 The experts on signals having satis fled themselves that the signals al Bradford could not be in the position clzNed by Engineer Mansfield, there can be no reasonable doubt upon tha; point of the investigation. 1t may bt impossible fer the distance signal tC be clear and the home signal set a: danger, at the same tin1e especial! as the tower operation at Bradford i doubly protected and 1t is perhap impossible for the signals to be set op posite each other on any part of tn, railroad system.

Norwich bulletin., 1916-04-21

A blaze in a woodshed located on the William Seaar property, adjacent to The Rhode Island hotel, and ad joining the brick building occupied by the Rhode Island Garage company, and ir the rear of the old town nall, was the cause of the fire alarm sent in from box 56. Dixon square, at 11.45 Thursday morning. The second story of the garage. which is on the ground level with the burned woodshed, in the rear, contained about a dozen autoTno- biies. and these were hastily removed. The firemen had two lines of hose from Union street on the blaze in short or der, the fire being within 300 feet of the firehouse, and the blaze was ex- tinguished before serious damage re- suited. Chief Engineer Samuel G. Cot Irell directed the work of the hremen. The shed was a one-story frame building. with a board partition divid- ing the coal from the firewood, which was composed of boxes, barrels and | more or less rubbish. This structuce
 was close to the brick building and
 all of the woodwork was burned from
 one of the windows, but the flames
 were kept from the interior of the | building. The cornice of the brick | building was burned for a short dis | tance. The total loss to the garage | building is less than $50 and the tota loss is not over S75. The cause of tho | fire is not known.

been different some five years ago when the Adams Express train crash ed into a freight train that was talk ing a siding at Stoniugton. Then it was claimed that the distant signal was actually set as safe while the home signal was set at danger. There was no doubt at that time as to the position of the signals, and in eXpla- nation it was stated that the working parts of the signals were disarranged, , and had been so reported before the mishap that caused death and serious injury to a hostler and railroad en- ployes-
 The Iocomotive that crashed into the local at Bradford is No. 1888, the same that was in charge of Engineer DOherty in the Westport disaster. and it so happens that Engineer Mansfield who was at the throttle last Monday night in the Bradford disa ster, was the engineer of the Adams Express train in the collision at Stonington He was dissolved of any blame in the StOnington smash, and his claim is that the conditions at Bradford were identical, almost with those at Brad ford
