 Was Out or Work

Salerno had not been working sev- eral days. According to MT. Conforti, the man was employed in the Ses- sions clock shop in Forestville until nearly two weeks ago. He quit after his fellow workers threatened to go on strike because of his accept ance of work on which the price had been cut Since that time he has been discouraged and has shown evil dence of moroseness when in the company of his friends Yesterday he was hailed on the street by MT. Conforti, who had to respond. MT. SConforti had invited him to go auto riding but he passed along the street without answering.
 Mrs. Salerno has worked at the Calor factody, but she remained home Monday and Tuesday suffering from toothache. The couple stayed in their home last night, Salerno locking the door of the hall used by both families in the house when he came in early in the evening, fact Whlch strengthens the belief that he had contemplated the murder hours be- fore it was committed. He had assisted his wife in taking in clothes which had been put on the line to dry and there was no outward eVl- dence that the couple had quarreled or were not as devoted to each other as ever

Victim American By Birth.


 Salerno first came to Plainville ten yeads ago, arriving in town with MT. Conforti, with whom he had gone to school in Italy and whom he later met at Old Forge, where both young men lived. He returned to Pennsylvania some years later, married the victim of his murderous hand four years ago, and during the early part of Au- gust came back to Plainville with his wife They nave no children. The slain woman was A years old and was born in Old Forge, where she spent the greater part of her life. Her father was killed in a coal mine eX- plosion a number of years ago, and as a girl she made her home with her sisters until she joined Salerno in Wedlock.
 She was an amiable young person and was seemingly devoted to her husband and her household duties. Among her neighbors she bore an ex- cellent reputation and they es- teemed her highly.
 Autopsy Unnecessary.
 Late this afternoon Medical EX- a1niner Moody stated that the inves- tlgation made by Dr. Bunce, the cor
 
 thing that might give theory as to the motive for the crime. He made all examination of the Woman's body and as the cause of death being ap- parent, he will file a certificate with cut an autopsy.
 State police officers will probably Ee called into the case to Sok' over the tenement for letters or other rossibIe evidence of a motive for use should Salerno recover from his and be brought to trial. Neither Dr. Bunce or the other phy- ,icians made anything but a super icial examination of the cham bers md it is possible that letters may be coated to throw some light on the mystery.
 New Britain hospital officials stated It o'clock that the condition of the murderer had changed but little since le was brought to the institution. He vas in a delirum this afternoon and 10 effort was made to get him to talk of his crime.

REPLY ON BLACKLIST
GREAT BRITAIN RESENTS SUSPI.
cIoN AS TO MOTIVE.
Denies That Rights Of Neutrals Un-
der International Law Have Been
RuthlessIy Cancelled.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The British
reply to the latest American note pro-
testing against the trade blacklist,
made public on Wednesday by the
state department, denies that rights Of
neutral traders under international
law have been ruthlessly Cancelled, de-
fines the blacklist measures as a NUM-
cipal regulation plainly concerning
only the British government and Brit
ish citizens, contends that it is de-
signed to shorten the war and scorns
the suspicion that Britain is using the
war as measure to take away neu-
trails trade.
The note fails to meet the Ameri-
can demand that the names of Ameri-
can firms be stricken from the black
list, but attempts to convince the state
department that the British position
is just and founded on law. 1t leaves
open the door for further negotiation,
which is expected to follow.
A part which attracted much Off

peace, based on the theory that one
American contention had been that
there exists no military necessity for
the blacklist; that nothing which hap
pens in distant neutral countries can
influence the result Of the great con-
fiict.
In it's argument the note points out
that German business houses through
out the world have furthered the
cause of Germany in the war.
The note apparently admits Britain
has altered the position previously
held with the United States, that domi-
cile and not nationality is the test of
enemy character, and argues that in
this war nationals or belligerents DOM
iciled far from home may render great
aid and comfort, admitting that these
are sought to be reached by the black
list measure.
Attention is called to instructions to
British merchants, issued by Lord Rus
sell in 1862 regarding trade with the
Bahamas during the Civil war, advis-
ing that the true remedy" was to re-
frain from this trade.

MONASTIR HAS FALLEN

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-Monastir has fallen to the
allies. To the strains of the Serbian
national hymn the remnant of King
Peters army marched through the
shell-riddled gates of the Macedonian
city, whence a year ago they fled in
panic and hunger before the great
Teuton-Bulgarian steam roller. At
the head of the victorious troops rode
Crown Prince Alexander, rejuvenator
of the little Balkan Kingdoms soldiers
and with the Serbians marched
French regiments, with whose aid the
first great step toward the reconquest
of Serbia was accomplished. Here and
there, in the long line of the triumph
al march, a row of Muscovite "tcha-
kos" lowered above the helmets Of
steel. Their owners were members Of
the Russian contingent, which also
co-operated in the encirclement Of the
great stronghold. A few minutes
after the first battalions had entered
the Serbian colors-red, blue and
white-once more fluttered from the
mast-tops on Monastir's governmental
and municipal buildings.

New London, Conn.,, Nov. 20.-Five
lives were lost when the German sub
marine Deutschland, which left port
on Friday morning for Bremen
rammed and sent to the bottom with
it's crew of five the tug 7. A. Scott,
Jr.. one of its two conveying tugs.
After the accident the Deutschland
returned to this port.
The only person on the tug saved
was Capt. Fred Hinsch of the German
interned liner Neckar. The tug, which
belonged to the T. A. Scott Wrecking
company, went to the bottom.
The list of dead includes: Capt.
John Gurney; William A. Cation, engi-
neer; Edward Stone, fireman; Clar-
ence b. Dawson, cook; Eugene Duzart,
deckhand.
The Deutschland returned to its
dock here at 5 :15 a. m.
An eddy caused the accident, ac-
cording to Capt. Harry Baker of the
tug Cassie, the other convoy of the
submarine. The Cassie was travelling
about half a mile astern Of the
Deutschland, while the Scott and the
submarine were moving almost
abreast. The sea was calm, Captain
Baker said, and conditions were nor
NAL. The Scott carried the usual
lights, but the Deutschland had only
its headlight and two side lights. The
tide was running almost full and when
about seven miles west of Race rock
they struck an eddy, which twisted
them about and out Of control. Then
they came together. He heard the
crash.
Captain Baker said that when the
collision occurred he at once headed
for the spot. On arriving there he
saw Captain Hinsch in the water and
took him on board the Cassie. Earlier
reports had it that Hinsch had been
rescued by the Deutschland.
Henry G. Hilken of Baltimore, pres
pany, said that so far as he knew the
only damage the Deutschland suffered
was a twisted stem. 1t was learned
later, however, that the undersea boat
has in it's bow at least one hole about
twenty inches square. A portable
forge was taken down to the pier and
the hole is being patched.
Capt. w. A. FOnes, shore superin-
tendent of the Scott company, in
charge of the repairs, said the
Deutschland might be ready to leave
within two or three days.
Captain Koenig Of The Deutschland
appeared pale anG shaken as he
stepped ashore frOLl his vessel on its
return. He refused to talk about the
collision.
The accident happened all in a
minute" according to a member Of the
Deutschland's crew, who talked brief
ly about it. The tug, he said, got in
front of the submarine and the
Deutschland struck it in the stern,
lifting it so far out of the water that
the tugs nose went under.
The Deutschland drew out of its
pocket at the pier Of the Eastern For
warding company at l 80 o'clock in
the morning, accompanied by the tugs
T. A. Scott, Jr., and the Alert of the
T. A. Scott Wrecking company, sub
agents of the Eastern Forwarding
company. 1t carried cargo valued
at $2,OOO,OOO, consisting of nickel, rub
Der and silver bars.
