PRESTON BOY SHOT
 BY ANTONIO DE CARLO
Hunter, Warned to Keep Of Farm, Turned On Homer Davis.

Homer Davis, son of G. Warren Da- wis of Preston was shot Monday about noon by Antonio De Carlo who had been trespassing on the Davis proper ty. MT. Davis had given instructions to his son, Homer, to bring De Carlo tol the house if he caught him on the land again as De Carlo. had been warned several times not to hunt on the property.
 On Monday De Carlo was hunting on the land and was discovered by young Davis who followed out his fathers instructions and started to bring De Carlo to the house. When a short distance from the house De Carlo turned on Davis, who is about seventeen years old, and shot him in the arm. A farm hand who was with MT Davis at the time immediately set upon De Carlo and after a short strug- gle in which De Carlo was consider ably bruised they succeeded in ty- ing him up with ropes.
 The local police were notified and Chief Linton at once dispatched Off, f1cers Morgan and Carroll in the po- lice patrol to the farm where De Car To was placed under arrest and brought to the station. He was held by the local police to await action of the Preston authorities.
 The Davis boy was rushed to the Backus hospital where an operation was performed and it was discovered that one of his arms was broken and he was otherwise injured. He was resting comfortably at a late hour Monday evening.

FOOD PLEDGE CAMPAIGN
 EXTENDED TO "WEDNESDAY
Telegram of Congratulations Received by Miss Louise Howe.

Congratulations, Splendid showing.
 Hurry signed cards along to-: head
 quarters. Active campaign extended
 until Wednesday. This was the text
 of telegram received by Miss Louise c. Howe, local director of the food pledge campaign in this city, from
 istrator for Connecticut. MT. Scoville is highly pleased with the showing that Norwich has made Tn getting signers. for the cards. Norwic11,s quo- ta was 4,500 cards which at the time was considered rather high for city the size of Norwich. The canvassers
 have, secured so far 2,ooo signers better than most cities in the state according to the population. ,.. The local committee has over 100 canvassers, many of whom represent
 the Italian, Polish and Jewish people of the city. These canvassers are doing good work and much interest is being manifested by the foreign pop ulation of the city and all have re- sponded heartily.
 Window cards which are given to the signers are prominent in the win dows about the town But these cards are not manifest in as many windows as they should be because there is a certain element in the city who will not deny themselves even for the sake of the boys who are fighting for our hounes. Workers met with rebuffs at some of the residences on Washing ton street and Broadway where it was expected that there would be a good show of patriotism. The National Service League rooms will be open for the next two days of the campaign. and any one wishing to sign the food pladges may come to the rooms to do so.

MEANS HIGH TENSION
 LINE FROM HALLVIILE.
Shore Line Electric Railway Company
 to Supply Groton With Power.

With the borough of Groton voting to contract with the Shore Line Elec- tTfc Railway company to supply light ing. power to the borough and incl dentally to the new Groton Iron works, the assumption is that a high tension line will be put up. between Groton and the Hallville power station, where the power will be manufactured. It is also understood that while the Hall vile station may be able to tempo rarily supply the needs, it will in time necessitate the erecting of a larger and better equipped plant. Where such a plant would be erected is not known, but presumably it would bo at some point on tidewater Such 9 plant would mean a great advantage to eastern Connecticut, as it is under stood that they could supply power throughout the eastern part of the state at a greatly reduced rate.

 The bacteria are not high in num- bers and no objectionable types were found. The results show no evidence of the presence of dangerous contam- ination and the supply appears to be safe for drinking purposes at this time as shown by this examination.

Fairview reservoir is IS inches below full pond and there are 40 million gallons stor- ed in that reservoir, making total water supply of 572 million gallons available for local consumption dur ing the winter.

SEGREGATION OF RACES
 IS UNcoNsTITuTIoNAL. Supreme Court Decides Against
 Louisville, Ky; Ordinance.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Compulsory separation of the negro mad white races in Residential districts is a vio- lation of the constitution; the supreme court held today in an unanimous opinion declaring invalid the segrega- ; tion ordinance of Louisville, Ky. The measure. which prohibited persons of either race moving into blocks in which a majority of residents were of the opposite color. is similar to ordf- pances now in effect in St. Louis, Baltimore. Richmond and many other southern cities
 Such laws, the court decided, would not prevent the amalgamation of the races, as was claimed by the Louis- viIle authorities, or prevent race con f1icts.
 The courts action was . reversal Of the lower court, which held the ordinance to be a reasonable exercise Of the state police powers. The or d;nance was enacted in 1914 and the case was argued twice in the supueme court.
