TOBACCO CROP IS
 BEING SALVAGED
First Estimate of Storm Dam ages Large, Growers
 Believe.

Hartford. Sent. 1.-Salsage of the tobacco crop in the growing belt of the Connecticut river district waa under way today. and prospects were that the losses would not reach the totals indicated by ssNE nights re- ports of the storm. Many hundreds of acres of tobacco plants were swept by the wind, hail and rain within few minutes and hundreds of thou sands worth of the crop was laid low. torn to ribbons or uprooted. Some Of this may recover, and as harvest ing is under way the men and women in the fields may save considerable.
 The towns which were hit the worst by the hail in the immediate vicinity of Hartford were East Windsor, Suf- field. Windsor. Simsbury. Ellington. Vernon and Windsor Locks. Other towns had damage hut did not get the full force of wind and hail.
 In other sections New Milford's to- hacco area was hard hit. General farm crops were damaged throughout the northern tier of towns in the state. Elsewhere the wind did material dam ae to buildings. dipping from above to the earth here and there. its most destructive touch in any one locality being at North Haven. Many indi- vidual reports of damage came from towns not heard from last night and while the aggregate was considerable and the number of frame buildings wrecked large. the items in them selves were not large.

SIRENS GIVE WARNING
 FOR BELFAST RIOTING
Clash Between NatiOnalists and Unionists Resumed
 This Morning.

Belfast. Stpt. l.-Fighting was re- sumed here today between national ists, unionist shipyard workers from the Shsnkhill district and troops. Heavy firing continued nearly half an hour. IL is feared the casualty list is heavy. The fighting ccntered about North street. ...
 That thorouEhfare was thronged with shipyard workers at S o'clock. Suddenly there was a series Of re- voiver shots apparently coming from Mill Field. which Is the center of tho nationalist streets abutting North street. Nearby military pickets rushed to the scene. took shelter behind walls and poured in a fierce fire. which was returned by snipers. The battle was accompanied by the shrieking of mill and foundry sirens.
 Matters finally became too hot for the sim Feiners and they were dis lodged with the aid Of an armored car. The shipyard workers in their zeal to help tho soldiers became 2 nuisance and the commanding officers asked them 10 withdraw. Tramcars caught between the opposirg forces ran a gauntlet of bullets. the ldriyers covering over their wheels and the passengers lying on the floor.
 It is definitely known that one man was killed in the North street en- counter. ..t ..
 There was another bitter fight at the docks between shipyard workers and union dock workers. the dockers firing on the shipyard employees. The latter used sticks and stones and a fierce battle waged until police and soldiers with machine gun ended the conflict. One docker was killed by the nisdirected fire of his own party.
 The total number of serious fires in Belfast since Wednesday last reached 214 this morning.
 Enforcement of the curfew ordi- nance last night had a quieting effect. All persons without permits were compelled 10 leave the streets at 10:30 o'clock and all tram cars ceased rum ming at o'clock.
 Efforts nre being made to have Ulster volunteers accepted as patrol men by the police authorities, but the latter have been reluctant to assent to the scheme.
 sim F'ein police did duty in the Falls district on Monday night. -bu,
 without the knowledge of the authori- ties. They closed public houses in that part Of tho city during the time they were on duty.

 Ways and means to make such an agreement effective will have to be worked out after it has been reached. officials added.

Wade is said to have confessed to the police that night that he killed Nott giving a
 description of the struggle in the Mott apartments at 265 Judson avenue.

 The police have recovered the re- rolver which Wade said he used, and the 14 inch butcher knife used in stabbing and which Wade says Mrs
 Mott handed him to complete the task of killing Mott. To the accusa- tions of Wade Mrs. Nott today en- tered dental. Wade has related additional dstails of the confession
 which the police say he made last night. One of those was that when Wade and Mott had fallen downstairs from the attic to the front door, Wade meantime having put four bullets into Nott Wade called out to Mrs
 Mott to hand him knife so that he might stop this fellow from hollae- ler.' Mott had been calling for hefp. Wade says Mrs. Mott handed him the butcher knife and he plunged time after time into Nott. He said he did not know how many times Nott
