FactoIIe- Damaged and Many PeopTe Lefs Without EmplOyment-East
 BridSewater MaroOned.

Brocktoa, Mass, July 1.-The flood of water which broke down dams ana washed out bridges in East Bridge water after the torrential rains of sa tul day and Sunday was receding today, leaving behind widespread damage and unemployment. With the wetting down of the generating plant oi the Edison Electric IlIumi- mating company it's production of power was curtailed to 20 per cent of normal and as a result most of the factories in the Brockton-Whitm BrGsewater districts were forced to cut down operations and in few that 5000 persons were workless as a result.
 Eat Bridgewater was virtually ma- rooned. Bridges went out with the flood on all sides and road communi- cations were inundated so that the town war accessible only through deep water. Service on the New Haven railroad branch line, and by trolley, was suspended because of washouts. The water flooded base rents of homes, factories and ware houses, causing considerable none tary loss.
 The flood was receding today at a rate of two inches an hour and it was estimated that by nightfall con diuions would be relieved appreciably. Service from the Edison plant was expected to be resumed tomorrow al- most in full
 Damage to factory stocks and to residential and business property in this city by the flood was placed at Sk5,0cG Some cellars had six feet of water in them today.

TOURISTS WARNED
Amesbury, Mass, Has Novel Way of Stopping Speeding AutomObilists- s.Go Fast and See Our Jail.'

Afnespury, Mass, July 11.-"Go slow and see our town; go fast and see our jail.''
 This combined invitation and admoni- tion posted conspicuously along the state highway has proved an effective means of stopping automobile speeding.
 Tourists from Boston to resorts in New Hampshire and Maine pass through Amesbury in large numbers and the good roads have tempted fast travelling. As the levy of small fines had no material effect on the number of speedsters, Chief of Police Rogers decided to post the signs.
 Their effectiveness was shown by the fact that on the first Sunday tl1e signs appeared there were no over night guests at the police station.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-The first formal
conference between representatives Of
the government and OF the Sim Fein
since the meetings between British

was held in Downing street Wcdnes-
day Lloyd George and Niscouut
Birkcnhead, the lord chancellor, met
Arthur Griffith and Michal Collins,
the Dali Eireann delegates who were
accompanied to the premicr's official
residence by t.amonn j. Dugan.
The governor at the conference
put before tho Sim Fein various
alternative proposals for meeting u
ster's objection to the proposed all
Ireland parliament, ms well as a sug-
gestion that Ulster be left Temperate
ly as she is while the rest of Ireland
receives fiscal autonomy, which would
make its taxation less than that of
Ulster.
The Sim Fein publicity depart
ment, however, declares the Dali Err
Sam can consent to none OF these

Ulster objects to any all-Ireland par
Lament and refuses to abandon its

DOGS BONES AGAIN
 FIGURE IN TRIAL
By Associated Press

Versailles, November 21.-Bones of the two dogs which belonged to Mile. Merchandier, one of the Il alleged victims of "Bluebeard" Landru, again figured prominently in today's ses- sion of Landru's trial for murder in the Versailles assises court.
 Landru, having admitted that he had killed the dogs, Judge Gilbert in- sistently pressed the prisoner to ex- plain in what manner he had killed them.
 T strangled them" Landru finally shouted. Then he explained that he had used waxed cord in the strang- ling process.
 Prosecutor Godefroy, who insisted that this particular point be brought out. declared 1t would aid the prose- cution In proving that Landru. during fits of extreme frenzy, had strangled the missing women, had cut them into bits and then, after regaining his nor maj state of mind, had sold a few cheap belongings of his victims. This was done, the prosecutor argued, to give the appearance that his relations with the women were merely commer- cial transactions.
 Inspector Riboulet today told the jury that every hamlet, village, town andNcity In France had been gone over by the local police for traces of the women who had disappeared. but that the results of their investigations had been nothing.
 The rush of people to gain admis- sion to the court room today after the 3 o'clock recess was so great that many women fainted. Two women posted themselves against the bayo- nets of the soldiers. keeping guard at the courtroom door. One of them was severely wounded. while the other suffered slight injuries.

GOVERNOR HOME
 FROM DEER HUNT
217 Hunters in Field and 20 Bucks Are Killed In
 Sumter
By FRED Fl. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau The Age Herald 221-2 First National Bank Buudin

Montgomery. November 22-(Spe- cial. Kilby and other members of his party who attended the annual deer hunt on the preserve of E. F. Allison in Sumter county Friday and Saturday returned to their duties at the capitol Monday and reported one of the most unusual experiences of their lives.
 On a large tract Of cut-over tim- Der lands Mir. Allison has created a great game preserve, where deer, other wild animals and birds may be protected from hunters except dur ing short season each year. Mfr. Allison's deer hunt is an annual. event. which Is participated in by his neighbors of Sumter and adjoining counties as well as his friends from other sections. Several persons came to Sumter county from other states. a few beng as far away as New York.
 Two hundred and seventeen hunt CTS were in the field Friday, and on that day 25 bucks were killed. On Saturday seven more fell. making a total of 32 for the two days. MT. Allison entertained his guests at a barbecue on Friday and Saturday.
 Governor kilby was on a stand both days, but reported that hs was unable to get a shot at buck. Only one member of the party from Mont gomery was able to shoot at a buck. He shot three times. but the deer is still roaming the wild woods of Sum ter county. He informed his friends that the buck paid little attention to the shots and he is now convinced that his education as hunter has been sadly neglected. Those who at tended the hunt from Montgomery were Governor Kilby, Col. H. A.. Moon, head of the state military de- partment;s ;s John H. Wallace, sJr, con- servation commissioner, and Fred H. Gormley.
