Mrs. Arthur E. DeCordova, wne or a wealthy New York broker of POI West 34th street, was murdered by her chauf- feur, Bernard B. Geissler, Monday after noon between 5.30 and o'clock on lonely road in the Wolf Neck district in the town of Stonington about three or four miles north of the borough of Ston- ingtan, near the Wheeler farm Although as far as known no one witnessed the tragedy, it is believed that Geissler fired two shots from Colts automatic into the body of Mrs. De Cordova just below her left breast, the bullets entering her heart and killing her instantly, and then turned the gun on himself, emptying it into his brain. He was still alive at an early hour this morning.
 James F. Brown, who was driving along the road in a lumber wagon few minutes after the shooting discovered the bodies of both Mrs. DeCordova and Geis- sler lying near the automobile in which they had been seen riding earlier in the afternoon. Mrs. DeCordova's body lay beside the road while Geissler lay crum- pied over a barway about six feet from the body of his victim. Geissier was alive when found and MT. Brown notified pr, Thurman Main and Dr. H. F. Thur Der of the town of Stonington who ar rived short time later. Geissler was removed to the Lawrence Memorial hos pital in New London.
 Dpeuty Sheriff W. F. Broughton was called and made an investigation of the facts in the case together with Medical Examiner Gray of the town of StoHing- ton.
 Mrs DeCordova, with her two chil- dreH a son about 20 and & daughter about IT, had been staying at The Gris- wold, at Eastern Point On Monday af- terneon Mrs. De Cordeva with her chauf- feur left the hotel about o'clock in Mrs. De Cordova's automobile.

LEBANON AUTOPSY FINED
 ON THREE CHARGES

Driving into Bank street from Reed street in New London, at the rate of 35 miles an hour, Harold J. Cummings of Lebanon barely missed hitting Patrol man William Corcoran, who was doing traffic duty at that point Sunday after noon, says the New London Day. The officer jumped from his position just as the car whizzed by, passing over the ex- act spot where he had been standing. Cummings was arraigned in the New London police court Monday morning on three specific charges, reckless driving, failure to be in possession of an opera tors license, and failure to be in pos session of a car registration license. He was fined s35 on the first charge and s3 each on the other two counts.
 Cummings entered 8 plea of net guilty to all three charges. After PatFolman CorcoraR had told how near Cummings came to hitting him, Cummings was placed on the stand& He stated that he did not see whereas anything which the officer had said had anything to do with him. T didn't do any damage or cause any trouble for which he should have brought me up here" declared the de- fendant. "Fe my recollection I got mix ed up in the dumraies| guess you call them dead men, don't you, those posts set up in the street-and I hesitated and then that cop jumped"
 If he hadn't jumped you would have run over him. wouldn't yeu?" inquired the judge.
 ''If he hadn't seen me I would have got to Ocean Beach," answered the de- fendant.
 Did you have your registration in your carr" asked the court.
 q had my numbers on the tail of my car," responded the accused The court inquired if he had ever seen 3 copy of the automobile laws.
 "I sent s1 for the book and it never came" answered the man.
 He thereupon produced 8 registration card but the prosecuting attorney hand ed it back. stating that it was a last years card. Cummings then accused the attorney of not giving him back the one whieh he had turned over. The prosecution resented the accusation that he was ''sleight of hand artist and told the accused so. The court then in- auired of Cummings if he could read and informed him to look over the registra ton card and read the regulations that were stated on the face of it. Cummings promised to appear Tuesday with his registration card for the current year but was found guilty on all three charges,

BRAINERD S ARMSTRONG MILLS


 Because of unstable market conditions, the Brainerd & Armstrong mills in this city and New London are working on short time. Beginning yesterday g(Mon- day), 4SS empioyes of the mills are to be laid off every Monday for the next few weeks, making a four and a half day week. The Monday lay-off is announced as temporary and it is expected that the mills will be operating full time within a month or so.
 The layoff- is not general. It ef- fects solely the weaving and fabric de- partments. About PTS employees at the Union street mill in New London, 50 at the New London dye house and 15S at the Norwich plant are affected. The causes assigned for the slump in the market are the present unstable selling conditions in Japan, which is the source of the silk supply, and the fact that the summer months are cotton and linen seasons raother than the silk season.
 A cycle of imitation of the silk mar ket in Japan it is alleged has brought out falling in the market price and the falling mas.ket tends to discourage buying. Added to this the fact that the orders are not coming in at this season has necessitated a curtailment somewhere. It si noe expected that this will spread UT lASt long, however, as the Bu1k or silk goods in this country is said not to be large. The change for the better should come it was stated, before the latter part of August
 The silk slump is reported to be gen. eral throughout the country and the New Jersey and Pennsylvania mills are re- ported to be harder hit than the local mills. With a partial suspension of pro- daetien it is expected that the market conditions will adjust themselves and that the buyers confidence will be re- stored and normal conditions prevail be- fore fall.
 J. P. T. Armstrong manager of the Brainerd & Armstrong mills in state ment Monday stated that while many mills throughout the country are closing for the month of July, he did not feel that the situation here warranted a suspension to t1at extent. The company has num- ereus contracts which it intends to fill, he declared, but it is not inclined to make any excess stock for speculation or market gambling. The large buyers have not as yet placed their orders but the company is starting out it's salesmen this week and it is expected that they will be able to pen up business somewhat Suffi- cient raw material is on hand at the Nor wich and New London mills to continue work with one day week curtailment.

Thin, Nervous People Need Bitro-P Phosphate


 Weak, thin people-zrlen or women are nearly always nervous wrecks thus conclusively proving that thinness, weak ness, debility and neurasthenia are al- most invariably due to nerve starvation. Feed your nerves and all these symptoms due to nerve starvation will disappear. Eminent specialists, state that one of the best things for the nerves is an or ganic phosphate known among druggists as Phosphate, five-grain tablet of which should be taken with each meal. Being a genuine nerve builder and not stiTnulant or habit-forming drug, Bitro- Phosphate can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate sufferer, and the results following it's use are often simply astonishing.
 By strengthening the nerves, weak tired people regain energy and Nigor :; thinness and angularity give way to pdumpness and curves; sleep returns to the sleepless; confidence and cheerfulness replace debility and gloom dull, eyes be come bright and pale. sunken cheeks regain the pink glow of health. It is sold by Lee & Osgood and all good druggists. CAUTION-Bitro-Ph Phosphate, the use of which is inexpensive. also wonderfully promotes the assimilation of food so much so that many people report marked gains of weight in a few weeks. Those taking it who do not desire to put on | flesh should use extra care in avoiding | fat-producing foods

CELEBRATED oRGANIsT
 AT ST. ANDREWS CHURCH


 At St. Andrews Episcopal church on Sunday morning part of the usual morn ing service consisted in an organ reei- tai by Alexander Murray Maekay A. R. c. O., l.. R. A. M., A. R. c. M, organist of Shawland's U. F. church, and deputy organist of Glasgow cathedral, Glasgow, Scotland This recital was given in full ffimeHt of promise made seven years ago to the late Miss Salina Fitzpatrick, who was the organist of St. Andrews at that time.
 During three intervals the rector of the parish, Rev William H. Smith, an- noupced the succeeding selections with remarks upon their setting and inter pretation.
 One of the numbers is worthy of spe- cial mention, the old Scottish melody en- titled The Flowers of the Forest, which was rendered in two versions. The first is the oldest known folk song in Scot land, and was copied from the famous Skene manuscript which dates from the sixteenth century and must have been written immediately after the disastrous battle of Flodden when the flames of Scottish chivalry perished. The second version is more modern, dating back 50 or SO years, but is really founded on the older version. It was MT. Mackay's privilege to be attached to the American troops for some time in France during the recent war. In the taking of the fa- nous Hindenburg line the Americans suffered severe losses and to these dead heroes this rendering was respectfully dedicated. According to the custom in Scotland the congregation remained standing while this memorial was being played.
 The rapt attention accorded to MT. Maekay's music bore testimony to the thorough appreciation of the large num- Der who were present to hear him.

ONE OF THE OLDEST METALS
Abundant Proof That iron Has Been in Use Since the Very Earliest
 Days.

Iron must have been familiar in the time ef Moses. A wedge made of iron was left in the great pyramid ny the builders, which proves that the metal was known and in use about ,50O S. c. Besides, in the fourth chapter Of Genesis, it Is mentioned that Tubsl Cain was pioneer in developing the srts Of iron making and brass work ing Brass, however, was a very in definite term among the natives. When spoken of in the Scriptures it is sel dom to be understood to signify the alloy of copper and zinc now called by that name. The brass" tempered for edged tools or weapons of war was bronze, usually compound of copper and tin.
 Copper was also known to mankind at very early period Articles of cop per were found Sl feet under the statue of Rameses the Great, which was erected $500 years ago. Debris has accumulated there to depth of nine feet, and the copper articles were found, on further excavation, 72 fest lower down.
