ALL UNNECESSARY
 BUILDING IS ID
 BE STOPPED HERE
State Council of Defense to Be Given Additional Au-
 thority from Washington

Hartford. Sept. 11-Additional fed eral authority for the stopping of unnecessary building construction will be received by the Connecticut State Council of Defense within a short time, according to telegraphic advice received by the Council of Defense today from Washington.
 The State Council has received in- formation from Washington concern ing the plan for granting adequate authority in this matter to the State Councils of Defense. As an instance of the stand of federal officials in this matter, it is reported from Washington that the Salt Lake City Building Trades Union recently pro- tested the action of the Utah Coun- cil of Defense in stopping the con struction of a theatre building in Salt Lake City. The claim was that there was no labor shortage in Salt Lake City. The council of national defense, United States Employment service and the War Industries Board all have approved the action of the Utah State Council in stopping this work
 It is expected that a new revised statement concerning restriction of unnecessary building will be issued by the State Council of Defense in the near future.

The lowest temperature recorded last night was 40. Grape crops suffered.
 Winsted, Sept. 11.---Frost came down up on the hill section of north western Connecticut last night and morning reports from Barkhamsted, Norfolk, the Canaars and Montville and New Boston, Mass. indicated that fodder corn in the field had been largely killed, and tobacco damaged. Garden crops probably have been lost. In many places pools of water were ice covered. A year ago this date there was an unprecedented heavy frost in this section which killed much of the standing crops.

WILL TRANSFORM ALIEN PLANT TO AMERICAN FIRM First Enemy Owned Plant Seized By Government to
 Go On Block. AUCTION WILL BE
 HELD TOMORROW Concern Through Which Military Information Was
 Sent to Germany.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The German owned machinery plant of the Oren- stein-Arthur Koppel Co. of Koppel, Pa, taken over some months ago by the alien enemy property custodian, will be sold at public auction tomor- row and thep roceeds will be invested in Liberty bonds. It is the first plant taken over by the government to be put on the auction block. The com pany operated as a branch of a Ber- lin corporation.
 Only American citizen will be al- lowed to buy the Arthur Koppel Co.,, said the announcement by Alien Property Custodian Palmer, and when the sale is formally con- summated it will mark it's trans formation from a 100 per cent. Ger man owned concern into a 100 per cent. American business corporation
 Included in the sale will be several subsidiary companies. They are the Koppel Land Co.,, the Beaver Con- meeting Railroad Co.,, the Koppel Water Co. and the Koppel Sales Co., of Koppel Pa; the Pennsylvania Car & Manufacturing Co. of Pittsburgh and the Universal Railway Product Co. of New York.
 ''The concern furnishes an excellent example of the German pre-wal methods of obtaining a foothold in ar essential American industry" says MT Palmer's statement, An industry through which military information was obtained and sent to Germany The company installed light railway equipment in virtually all American intuition plants, steel plants and kin dred concerns. It had contracts witl the Westinghouse Co.,, with the United States Steel Co.,, with the Du Pont works and with nearly half of the big industrial plants operating in this country.
 Under these conditions it can read fly be seen how easy it was for thi: German owned concern to supply in. formation of great military import ance to the German government re garding the big industrial and muni ton plants in this country.

CORONER, HOLDS
 BONJON FOR THE DEATHOF WALKER
Finds Former Alderman Game to Death by Crimi-
 nal Act of the Accused.
Wednesday,. Sept. Il

Coroner John J. Phelan had found that the death of former Alderman Daniel E. Walker, who was shot and killed on Saturday evening in the Walker saloon, was caused through the criminal act of Louis Bonjon.
 Through evidence it was shown that Bonjon had bought the revolver Saturday afternoon from a local dealer, who stated that at the time of purchase, Bonjon was sober and acted normally. Bonjon told him he wished to have an old rusty pistol, which he brought with him, cleaned and fixed. Meanwhile he bought a new one. The dealer gave him 12 cartridges, but Bonjon did not load the pistol in the store, it was stated.
 Although personal friends of Bon jon state that at times he did things which made them believe that he was suffering from some malady or diseased mind still he often acted naturally. On the day of the murder, he is said to have been normal, but it is testified that he had gotten drunk in the saloon.
 Bonjon is held for appearance in , the city court Friday morning. Up tc this time he has not uttered word about the murder, although he is now l well aware of the offense he is accus- ed Of

EXPECT LICENSE VOTE IN EVERY
 TOWN IN STATE
Prohibition Committees Go. ing Through Formalities
 to Bring Matter Up.

Hartford, Sept. 11-Whether towns in the state at their annual election next month will vote on license is now being determined in many Sf them. The Connecticut Prohibition committee, it is said today, has urged all license towns where action can be taken to petition for a vote on the question.
 The attitude of the committee, when it appeared that war prohibition would go into effect on Jan. 1 next, was to have no campaign made for 8 vote, as it was not believed that any application for a license for the month of December only would be filed. Licenses in towns expire on Dec. 1. But as war prohibition will not be effective until July 1 next, the committee will urge it's members to try to carry as many present license towns for no-license as possible.
 The explanation of the committee as to the desire for "dry' towns is based on the theory that if war prohi- bition is a good thing, and is a saving of fuel, food and transportation, then the sooner that saving can be effected the better for all concerned.
 The Connecticut Temperance Union which is also entering its campaign for "dry'' towns at the town elections announces that it's efforts are directed in the main in the matter of candi- dates for the Senate and House with the hope that we shall ratify the na- tional amendment when the time comes next winter"

WITNESS MAKING 1. SERIOUS CHARGE .HASPASSED AWAY
Mildren Peterson, IA Years Old Accused Reynolds of
 a Serious Offense.

Bedding, Sept 10-A remarkable case which has been the subject of &C., tion by the county commissioners, the town school committee and the local prosecuting authority practically reached it's closing chapter with the sudden death at the state tuberculosis hospital in Greenwich last Thursday night of IA year old Mildred Peterson, a County Home waif who for the last year or so has lived with the family of H. Sanford Osborn at Bedding Ridge. On Saturday last she was to have appeared as a witness in support of serious charge which she made some days previously against Charles Reynolds, who has for several years furnished transportation for the chill dren attending the Ridge public school from the Sunset Hill section. A recent discovery that she was appar- ently in a delicate condition caused her to be questioned with her accusa- tion against Reynolds as the outcome. The town school committee promptly took up the matter, suspending Key holds from active service as transpor- tation agent pending the result of an investigation and communicating the information which had come to them to the county commissioners and to Grand Juror D. s. Sanford.
 According to the girls statement the alleged assault was committed last March in the school wagon while it was proceeding along the main Ridge highway not far below Episcopal church corner. The time was broad day and the vehicle a two seated sur rey with a top but no side curtains. In it at the time were four school girls besides the Peterson girl, the oldest about 13 and the others from to 10. Closely examined by school board members all these children de- clared they had seen nothing of the occurrence described by Mildred Pe- terson. Therefore the accusation against Reynolds rested solely on her accusa tions, but nevertheless these were convincing to Miss McMaster, agent of the State Board of Charities who came here to take part in the inquiry. Others were little impress ed by them.
 In fact so incredible was the accusa- ton story, being wholly unsupported by other evidence and indeed contro- verted by the evidence of the four disinterested juveniles in the surrey to say nothing of it's strong inherent robability-that Grand Juror San ford was disinclined to issue a war rant. In view of all the circum- stances, however, he decided that the GhnY,1S T1y1I 0f7 ioJ and a judicial determination. This course was earnestly requested by MT. Reynolds as a matter of right and

TROOP SHIP TORPEDOED
2,800 American Soldiers on Board Every One of
 Whom Was Saved. GET SUBMARINE
 WITH DEPTH BOMB Trouble With Ships En- zines Had Caused Her to
 Lag Behind Convoy.

London, Sept. 10 Tuesday, "A troop ship with 2,800 American soldiers on board, has been torpedoed.
 All hands were saved.
 The troop ship was beached. In order to save time instead of launching the boats the men clambered down ropes to des- troyers which swarmed around the stricken vessel and came close alongside.
 This operation was greatly f&cilitat- ed by the fact that the sea was nos rough.
 The troop ship was q member of a large convoy approaching the Eng fish coast. The vessel was torpe- doed 200 miles from shore at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon.
 The transfer of the American sol diers from the stricken vessel to es- corting British and American torpe- do boat destroyers was quickly made without injury to anyone.
 They all escaped injury when the torpedo exploded and they were sooL on their way to a British port.
 There was no sign of panic on board and the admirable behavior of the men was especially gratifying to tho officers.
 Many of the troops came from Chi cago and Cleveland and a large per centage of them were factory hands of foreign extraction. Their behav for proved that they had assimilatec the true spirit of the American sol dier.
 Several soldiers told the Associated Press that they saw the German sub marine lifted clear out of the wate1 after one of the depth bombs ex ploded and then entirely disappear
 Something had gone wrong witt the troop ships engines which com pelled her for g. time to lag behind the rest of the convoy, but the trou ble had been fixed up and she wa! fast catching up with the othel transports when a torpedo hit he just forward of the engine room.
 The vessel at once began to sinl by the bow Many of the soldier at the time were taking baths. The! did not wait to dress, but made fo the deck with what little clothing they could hastily lay their hand on. The water was rushing in a such a rate that it was thought tn ! steamer would quickly founder.
 To tn esurprise of most of the sol diers the troop ship did not sink - Some means apparently were found t. check the thrush of water and sh got near enough to the shore to b beached. It Is hoped that the yes sel ultimately can be saved.
 An Inland Rest Camp in England Sept 11.---(By The Associated Press. ---The majority of the 2,SOO American soldiers from the troop ship whicl was torpedped last Friday off tn English coast but was not sunk ant on which there were no casualties have arrived here none the worse fo their thrilling experience.
 The men are finding some consola ton for the loss of their vessel in tn assurance that the submarine that at tackled them suffered a far worse fat at the hands of the avenging destroy CTS, which were speedily on the scene hunting the U-boat with depth bomb!
 To aid in caring for the men her the American Red Cross rushed large quantities of supplies from Lon don.

MUST ABANDON

 PEACE PROGRAM
First Conditions for Peace Which Must Be Met By
 Huns, Says Delbrueck.

Stockholm, Sept. 11-As the first step toward peace Germany must re- rounce the pan-German ideas in the opinion of Prof. Hans Delbrueck of the University of Berlin. In an ar ticle in the magazine Prussian Year Book he declares the pan-Germans not only bear a portion of the respon- sibility for the war, but also the chief responsibility for it's prolongation. He says:
 "The world demands and has right to demand that the German people give a guaranty that the pan-German spirit, the spirit of superiority of might of heathendom, isn't the Ger man spirit. The best method of showing the world that the German government has definitely and ire vocably shown the pan-German en- deavors the door would be for the government to collect all of those ante-bellum pan-German incitations and demonstrate by means of our enemies literature how greatly their conduct damaged us and help to light the fires of this catastrophe war;

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

The total production in the 44th week of the laying contest at Stoors amounted to 3,555. This figure rep resents a loss of only 54 from last weeks production and is 196 eggs more than the production in the cor responding week last year. Richard Aliens Barred Rocks and E. A. Bal lard's White Leghorns were tied for first honors with 55 eggs to their credit. The Oregons were second with 53 eggs. Tom Baron's White Leghorns were a close third with 52, while Merrythought Farms White Wyandottes were fourth having laid 50 eggs during the week. There are two changes in the leading pens. Richard Aliens Barred Rocks are now leading in that variety and pen 24 owned by Mrs. R. w. Stevens, Still water, N. Y, went ahead of pen 26 and are now third in the White Wy andotte class.
 During the month of September there is a tendency for poultrymen to let the chickens take care of them selves. Growing chicks should be looked after very closely as over crowding is liable to happen, owing to the fact that the birds are getting larger and need more room. Failure to provide more room for the growing chicks more particularly during the night, will not only have tendency to create deformed specimens, but will lower the constitution to such an ex- tent that the birds will not be prof1ta- ble as layers. The most direct result of crowding is "snuffles" or fall colds. In most cases this trouble can be easily handled by better ventilation or more fresh air. There are three important points in handling chicks: fresh air, especially during the night, fresh water at all times, and clean quarters; and at no time of the grow ing season are these factors more i'm portant than during the early fall months.
