 FALLING VOTE
 ON NOVEMBER ]
State Board of Canvassers Announce Result of Care
 full Compilation.

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 27.---The vote for congressman, senators, sheriffs, and judges of probate at the recent state election on Nov. was canvassed today by the state board of canvassers at the capitol. The board consists of the state treasurer, the comptroller and the secretary of state.
 There was a remarkable falling off in the vote of the state as compared with the vote of two years ago. The total vote for congressman in all the five districts of the state was only 176,9 ,9SS or 36.312 less than the vote of 1916. The plurality of Augustine Lon ergan, the Democratic candidate for congress in the first district, was 4,301 as against 1889 at the previous cleo tion.
 The plurality of George H. Gabb, the Democratic candidate for sheriff, in Hartford county was 1.4SS. By the election of Thomas L. Reilly as sheriff of New Haven County, and the victory of MT Gatib in Hartford county, there are now tw'o Democratic sheriffs and 1 six Republicans in the state. 1 There were contests in 50 of the IA probate districts in the state. In most i of the large districts such as Hart ford. New Haven and New Britain there were no contests. The figures
 of the vote in all the districts show the growth of the disposition of the
 people of the state to take the pro- bate judgeships out of politics.

MURDER CHARGE AGAINST BANDIT
 OF LOCAL FAME. Joseph J. Lasalle Arrested in New York for Murder
 of Station Agent. SERVED 6 MONTHS IN NORTH AVENUE JAIL Started Shooting Affair Here in 916-Held Up
 Local Trolley.

The arrest in New York on Tuesday of Joseph J. Lasalle and Bull Cassidy, noted New York gunmen, now charged with the murder of a 64-year-old ticket agent, at the Intervale avenue station of the New York subway two weeks ago, recalls to the mind of Bridgeporters the afternoon of June 30, 1916.
 On that day, Lasalle held a running fight with members of the Bridgeport police department on the principal streets of the lower part of the city.
 He was finally captured, but came into prominence again when he made daring attempt to escape from the North avenue jail by saving the bars with the aid of tools, smuggled into him by friends. He was thwarted in his attempt to gain freedom by quick action on the part of the guards Later the charge of assault with at tempt to kill was noIIed, but he was sentenced to six months imprison- ment and fined $25 and costs for his attempt to break jail. He paid the fine and served the jail sentence, and while seen in Bridgeport at various times in the past two years, had never ran afoul of the police since his servi- tude here. In connection with the murder charge in New York, Detec-- tive James Bray of this city went to the metropolis yesterday to testify against him.
 The fracas in Bridgeport in 1916 which led to Lasalle's arrest. started
 in a pool room at the corner of Main
 street and South avenue. According 1 to the information obtained by the 1 police at that time Lasalle had come l here from New York and had later
 met a man and woman who resided
 in this city.
 Early on the afternoon of June 30,
 1916, they visited the pool room on Main street and proceeded to indulge
 in the African national sport, com
 monly known as "craps." The game
 continued until Lasalle had lost all (COntinuad on Page TWo)

ARMY AND NAVY MEN MAY RETURN
 A. & 3. PLANT

Returned soldiers and sailors who were formerly employed at the American & British plant, will be im- mediately put into their former posi- tions upon application at the employ ment office of the firm.
 J. c. Stanley, president of the firm when asked this morning by a Times reporter concerning the rumor, said: Why, the least that we can do for these boys is to give them back their old jobs. They have been in the ser vice of their country, in defense of our principles, ready to make the su- preme sacrifice if necessary, and it will be but a small part of the grati- tude we owe them, to place them fR a position to take their place in the industrial world when they are dis charged from the service. Every man who left our employ will be welcom. ed, and any consideration we can show him will be but a part of our plan"
 MT. Stanley said also that the shifts had been rearranged on the eight Bour schedule throughout the plant. and that no men had been laid off

BAVARIA SAYS
 DUPLICITY OF GERMANY PROVEN
Guilt of Germany and Aus tria Persistently Denied
 For Four Years.

London, Tuesday, Nov. 26-British Wireless Service) here devote much space to discussions of the revelations made by Bavaria in publishing of telegrams which passed between Berlin and Munich just be- fore the war broke out in 1914.
 They agree that the guilt of Ger many and Austria, persistently denied during the past four years, has been proved by the Bavarian government
 Germany has been challenged again and again to produce the whole correspondence between Berlin and Vienna during July, 1914" says the Times. She never has dared produce 1t. Will the new government dare just to show the gulf between il and it's predecessors Bavaria has proved she was an accomplice ot Berlin and Vienna. She supported them until they, lost and now she shall not whiten her character in the eyes of the Allies by blackening the records of her confederates." "The Kaiser, after taking every possible step to throw the Allies of Inelr SlIuChs SAPCNIlI4S AIt q few weeks to have the world at his feet" says the Mail.

HUN DESCRIBES WAY ARMIST|CE WAS COMPLETED
Germans Impressed by Fairness and Sternness
 of Marshal Foch.

Amsterdam, Nov. 27-The armistice conferences between the German del egates and Marshal Foch and his as sociates early this month were car ried out in the most businesslike manner possible and apparently with out notable incidents, according to an account of the conference given by the Berlin Voss;sche Zeitung' by a member of the German party.
 After the French met the German commissioners they were driven for ten hours in automobiles to an ap- pointed rendezvous. 'It seemed to me-" says the narrator, that the drive was Intentionally prolonged in order to carry us through the devas- tated provinces and prepare us for the hardest conditions which hatred and revenge might demand. One of the Frenchmen pointed to a heap of ruins, saying, Behold, St. Quen- tin! We entered a train, with blinds i drawn, in the evening, and awoke in the morning in the midst of the for. ] est of Compiegne, surrounded by sol diers.
 There were two trains, one oc- | cupfed by Marshal Foch and his staff and the other by the Germans. In 1 these we lived. worked and negotiat. ed for three days. We had every thing in abundance. There was nothing to find fault with. The great enmity and hatred that apparently prevailed against us were shown | however. in the negotiations and in the terms imposed"
 The narrator remarks that the i French officers and Vice Admiral i Wemyss, British representatives, | maintained a cold attitude never tempered by a friendly word"
 Marshal Foch, whom we saw only twice. at the beginning and at the end of the conference, is a stern, plain man. He did not speak a single word to us in the tone which formerly distinguished the chivalrous French
 nation. It is not true that Foch told us there could not be any question of negotiations only the i'm
 position of conditions, and whatever
 coldness he displayed was never ilf- hammered or rough. X ',
 Really there was nothing to nego-
 tiate. We pointed out the technlca
 impossbility of some not conditions finally we were obliged to sign
