UMBRELLA AIDS HIM IN SHOOTING SELF 10 DEATH Junk Dealer Pulls Trigger of Gun With Handle of
 Rain Shield. RESPONDENT SINCE
 DEATH OF HIS WIFE Children Awakened by Shot Find Parent Dead in
 Back Yard.

Antonio Federico, 50 years of age. of 678 Grand street, we'll known figure about the city, engaged in the junk business for two decades, com mitted suicide by shooting himself with a double barreled shot gun, in a most novel manner this morning at 6:3O o'clock.
 Federicos wife died about three months ago and since that time, ac- cording to the police he has been melancholy, drinking heavily to forget his sorrow. This morning he took the shotgun of 12 gauge calibre, left his home and walked into the front yard of his residence, gun in one hand and umbrella with a crook handle in the other.
 He carefully placed the butt of the gun in the soft ground and secured it in an upright position by leaning his body heavily against the muzzle. The end of the barrel was pressed closely into the pit of his stomach. Reaching over with the umbrella, he hooked the handle in the trigger and pulled.
 The sound of the discharge awaken ed the four children of the suicide, the oldest girl of 16 years, 4 and reused sleeping residents from their beds. The terrified children rushed from the house, to find the lifeless body of their father lying on the ground. Both barrels of the gun had been discharged and the shot of the two shells, which did not have time to scatter. had blown a hole clear through the stomach of Federico.
 Sergeant Poland and Patrolman George Grosshans were sent to the scene in response to a telephone call and the remains removed to the norgue Federico. since the death of his wife, often expressed the wish that he could die. ~<TS@r-

MAYO ARRESTED
 FOR ATTACKING
 SHOP. MANAGER
New Haven Manufacturer Has Row With New Head
 of Factory.

New Haven, Dec. 7-VirginiuS J. Mayo, manufacturer of this city, whose domestic affairs some months ago were brought to public attention after the death by poison, self-admin- istered, of Lillian Cook, stenograph- CT in his employ, was under arrest today charged with assault on E. B.. Shoemaker who has just been ap- pointed manager of the factory of which Mayo has been the head. It was announced yesterday that this plant had been taken over by New claimed to know nothing of the change of control, it having been un- derstood that the concern through stock holdings was in Mayo's hands.
 The facts as to the alleged assault have not been cleared up as yet. It is understood that Shoemaker. went to the plant to take charge. Mayo re- fused to recognize him. Constables in Hamden in which town the plant is, this being a short distance from the New Haven line, were called in to make the arrest. Mayo secured former Chief of Police Cowles and Deputy Sheriff Hull to serve as his i-bodyguard. His counsel then an- nounced that. a bond had been secur- ed and application would be made to the superior court for, an injunction to restrain Shoemaker, the new man. ager, and others from interfering with the business.
 The announcement of 8 change in control of the Mayo Radiator Co.,. was made yesterday through the medium of newspaper advertisement. Thomas J. Leavens eand J. D. Livingston, of New York, who it is understood, have had a part in financing the Mayo Co.,. are said ito have been among, those who selected Shoemaker. Today, the plant was under protection of several guards, and not only, Mayo's attorney but lawyers representing the New York mems interest were there. A claim by the latter is that Mayo sold his interest in the business last June.

WANT POLICE TO PROBE WORK OF WOMAN DOCTOR
Bereaved Family Reports Death of Massachusetts
 Woman in This, City.

Complaints to the police, health de- partment and county health officer have been made following the death Sunday of Mrs Cestalva Melinozky of Hatfield, Mass.
 Allegations are made by Thomas Melinoszky, her husband, and other relatives that she was the victim of a woman quack's advice. They are wroth because. the incantations the latter is said to have made at Mrs. Wednesdays bedside failed to have any effect after they had paid $35 for the treatment.
 According to the story told the po- lice, who referred the case of the health department, which did the same to the county health officer, Mrs. Melinoszky was seriously ill of tub erculosis in Hatfield. Her relatives came to this city and sought out a woman practitioner whose name, as near, as the health authorities can ascertain, is Mrs. M. A. Rudka.
 They wanted her to go to Hatfield and cure Mrs. Wednesday. It was too far, she said, but she promised to treat the victim provided she were brought here. The family transport ed Mrs. Melinoszky to the Roseville section of Fairfield, and the treat ment was begun, with a promise that $150 be paid, $35 down.
 The treatment, the fomplainants said, was mostly in the form of mys- terious prayers. It didn't help mat ters any and late last week Dr. J. c. Lynch was called into the case. He found that the woman was in the last stages of tuberculosis and would not live more than AS hours.
 She was buried day before yester- day. On the suspicion that the wom- an doctor is not a legal practitioner, m investigation will be made by the health authorities. County Health
 Officer James A. Marr is out of town, put will begin inquiry in a few days.

BANKERS BOARD 10 ASSIST DODGE WITH ARMS FIRM
Strain on Young Financier Great, He Will Receive
 Skilled Help.

A committee of the most able bank CTS to be found in New York has been selected to assist Marcellus Hartley Dodge, the young fnancier who con- Seived and executed the formation of the Remington Arms & Ammunition Co. and later the Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, in the operation of the vast plants here and it's subsidiaries throughout the coun- try.
 As announced at the New York of fees of the company the men who form the new executive committee are G. M. P. Murphy, treasurer of the Guaranty Trust Co.,; James H. PA'- kins, vice president of the NatiL/al City bank; W. E. s. Gr1swold and Samuel F. Pryor, who have been asso- ciated with the management of the company since its inception.
 Though little is known today of the plans of the committee it is a well es- tablished fact that financiers for some months have watched the manage meth of MT. Dodge. and have won- dered how he was able to stand the nervous strain that naturally would attach to the conduct of such. a vast enterprise with it's wide. ramifcations, of finance, production and sale of out put to various governments.
 1t Is believed that the strain told so heavily upon MT. Dodge that he was finally compelled to associate with himself in the management brilliant hnanciers who will be able to give him advice from their years of experience
 That there will be litrfe change in the present conduct of the business in this city is thought likely by those in close touch with the internal situation ofaTthe arms and munition making plants here.
 Through the National City Bank MT. Dodge sold last February s15,- 0O0,000 of two year 5 per cent. notes Later the company placed $10,0O0, 900 of notes through the same source. Both the Guaranty Trust and the Ma tiona1 City Bank interests were close ly associated in the formation of the company, as we'll as the Midvale Steel and Ordnance Co.,, to which MT. Dodge disposed of his Remington Arms Co. of Delaware for $20,0OO.- 900.
 MT. Dodge still retains virtually all of his stock under the new manage ment. Henry s. Kimball, formerly president of the American Zinc, Lead and Smelling Co.,, has been elected president. Samuel F. Pryor, former 1y president of the managing com mittee,r and c. S. Hawley, formerly president of the Laconia Car Co.,, has become treasurer. MT. Dodge is un- derstood to have been selected as chairman of the board of directors. MT. Dodge organized the Remington rms-Union Metallic Cartridge O., through a merger of the Remington Arms and Ammunition Go. and the Union Metallic Cartridge Go.

Edward Carson, while viscount Read ing, the Lord Chief Justice, is likely to join the ministry.
 Other Liberal members may be drawn from men such as Sir Frederick Cawley, member of the House of Commons from the Prestwick division of Lancashire, and Sir George Pollard. member from the Eccles division of Lancashire, who, although the public has heard little of them, have done efficient work in committees. Sir Christopher Addison, parliamentary under-secretary for munitions, is al- most certain to have a place ;n the cabinet, and Colonel Winston, Spencer Churchill, former First Lord of the Admiralty, is slated for a high office.
 Under the circumstances it is be- 1ieved the construction of the cabinet will De matter of only a day or so and that by Monday the new govern ment will meet the House of Com mons to learn what manner of recep- tion will be accorded it. A test of its strength can be made on the vote of credit, which must be moved immedi- ately.
 Today's session of the House of Commons was expected to be a formal one, it being doubtful whether aay of the ministers would put in an ap- pearance.

SCHOOL. TEACHER
 EXONERATED BY CORONER PHELAN
Miss Ruth Hall Not to Blame For Fatal Auto
 Accident.

Miss Ruth Hall, the Fairfield school teacher, was not criminally respons1- ble for the death of Elizabeth O'Con- nell, according to a finding made to- day by Coroner John J. Phelan. He finds that Miss Hall was not driving Ter automobile recklessly at the time it struck and fatally injured Mrs. O'Connell on December 1.
 Four witnesses summoned by the coroner agreed that Mrs. O'Connell looked toward the machine as she tried to cross State street at the inter- section of Hancock avenue. They thought she must have heard the horn and was trying to get across in front of the automobile. There was a jit- ney near the corner at the time of the, accident and this obscured Miss Halls view of the street somewhat. The testimony indicated, however, that she was not driving fast.

The note, addressed by the BerHn foreign office to Charge Grew in reply to his inquiries made on instructions from Washington, follows: &
 Foreign Office, Berlin, Dec A. 1916.
 ,sThe undersigned has the honor to inform MT. Grew, charge d daffaires of the United States of America in reply to the note of the 21st ultimo, that the investigation conduced by the Ger man government concerning the sink ing of the British steamer Arabia. has led to the following results:
 'sOn the morning of November 9th. a German submarine encountered a large steamer coming from the Corigo Straits, 100 naval miles west of the Island of Corigo. The. steamer was painted black and had a black super structure and not, as is otherwise the case. with F. & O. line superstructures, light color. The steamer, which was identical with, the Arabia, was not travelling on the route regularly used by the passenger steamers between Port Said and Malta, as is made plain by the enclosed map, but was taking a zigzag course toward the west, 120 nautical miles north of that route. This course, on which the submarine passed three similar steamers at the same spot on the same morning, leads from the Aegean to Malta, so that the Arabia was moving on the trans port route, Corigo-Malta, used solely for war purposes according to the ex- perience until now.
 .'The commander of the submarine f,1rfher ascertained thai there were large patches of Chinese md other colored persons in their national cos- tuAnoD - board the steamer. He con- sidered them to. be eworkmen soldiers such as are used in great numbers

MT. LlOyQ GcOfSo mas opened neSO- tiations with the labor party with a view to securing it's support and CO., operation
 A meeting of the party was held this morning, at which regret was ex- pressed at the resignation of MT. Asquith as premier. It was decided, however, to support any government pledged vigirously to prosecute the war and in which labor was adeuuate- uy represented.
 ,, The opinion is expressed that not less than three labor members will be included in the negotiations.
 Few, if any Liberal members of MT. Asquith's cabinet. are likely to accept office under MT. Lloyd George. and some of the Unionist members, like J. Austen Chamberlain, and Lord Rob- ert Cecil, are likely to stand aside However, it is assumed at the confer ence at Buckingham Palace they as- sured the new premier of their benev- ofent neutrality, thus making his task much simpler.
 Provincial Liberal newspapers like the Manchester Guardian and the Liverpool Post, make a plea to the Liberals to give the government fair chance, as it is generally assumed that it is the embodiment of British determination to win the war. Ac- cording to one estimate, MT. Lloyd George can rely on the support ot virtually the Unionist members and of the 70 Liberals, and hopes to obtain the backing of the Labor members, who will como to a final decision at a meeting today. It also is represented that Mr. Lloyd George believes he will be able to offer concessions to the Nationalists which will bring them in line.
 As far as the cabinet is concerned, Che new premier has nucleus in A. Bonar Law, Lord Derby, Lord Cur aon, Sir Frederick B. Smith and Sir

behind the front by the enemies of Germany. In spite of the clear
 weather and careful observation he
 did not perceive any women and chil- dren.
 s'In the circumstances, the com-
 mander of the submarine was con vinced that in the case of this steamer he was concerned with a transport ship for. troops in the service of the British government which is to be considered as an auxiliary warship according to international law and can, therefore, be treated like a warship. He ac- cordingly considered himself justified in attacking the steamer without de- lay and sank it. .----v.~--
 Should the American government give official data showing that the Ar abia was at the time to be an ordinary passenger steamer, the action of the comma nder would not have been in accordance with the instructions given him, since these instructions are now as before in agreement with the as surances of the German note of May. 1916 This would then be case of a regrettable H mistake from which the German government would promptly draw the appropriate consequences z
 What. action the state department will take is prob1ematical Secretary Lansing refused utterly to comment on the case today and other officials were reticent. :, Should it be shown that the Arabia was, as Germany contends, trans port; this. government probably would! admit the sinking was justified.
 < If, however, it is shown that the submarine commander was mistaken in holding her to be a transport, a most serious situation will confront the state department. At the time the Sussex was sunk, Germany was told that this countzy could not tolerate "regrettable mistakes"
