 Hartford is not suffering for want of water but we are up against 1t. We must increase our supply at once: there must be no delay and the consumption is dangerously close to supply. Very dangerous in dry years. If Hartford must have the right to develop the east branch of the Pennington river we should not oppose them if they will let us have the Nepaug.

Defense to Proceed

Columbus, O.. Aug. 6 CP)-Thc evidence by which the state expects 10 convict Dr. James Howard Snool of the murder of Theora Hix was completed today.
 The defense issued summonses yesterday for list of character and other witnesses and is ready to pro- ceed with its testimony. Marlon Meyers, former farm crop agent for the university who claims to have shared Theora's favor with Shook, was among those summoned.
 At yesterday afternoons session W. C. Howells and James E. FuscO, reporters for the Cleveland PlaIn Dealer and the Columbus Citizen, re- spectively. recounted in detail an in- tervew they had with Shook winch covered even more ground than the signed confession. The defense is prepared to attack the signed con- tession with evidence designed to show it was not voluntary and charges that third degree" meth eds were used. Such an attack can not be leveled as effectively against teh newspapermen's recitals which, the state claims, amounted to ver- bal confession.
 Believes Proof Complete
 The state. by the evidence it has introduced thus far, has offered what it considers proof that Miss Hix was murdered with Dr. Shook 8 knife and hammer: that he admit ted to two newspapcrmen that he Killed the girl: that he deliberately cut her throat, and that the killing grew out of a quarrel during which she threatened the safety of his wife and family.
 Further it has offered evidence that she had been given two power- fully stimulating drugs and that the same drugs were found to be either in the possession of or easy of ac- cess to Dr. Shook. Three years of alleged illicit relationship between the two has been outlined to the jury.
 The defense is expected to rely first upon a clam that Dr. Shook was temporarily insane, and second that he acted in self defense. It has been promised that the former Ohio State university professor himself would be his own chief witness ana that his wife would appear in his behalf Two alienists also are pre- pared to testify, presumably that there is reason to believe Shook was insane.

in addition to several wounded.
 Some few hours after U. S. At torney Charles H. Futile and Sung Young. Chinese consul general, had warned Tong leaders here that no violence would be tolerated pending a peace conference today. a Harlem laundryman was shot and killed at his ironing board.
 Similarly in Boston two Chimes" were shot and killed within a few hours after Tong leaders had assured the police there would be no Tong warfare in that city. Police officials said it was the first time Tong lea ders had deliberately deceived them and expressed the belief the killings would result in the b!oodiest Tong war ever in New England.
 Quiet in Chicago
 In Chicago and Newark N. J.. where the killings started with one death each on Sunday a tense quiet prevailed. Police maintained close watch in the Chinese sections but no attempts at violence occurred.
 The cause of the renewed Tong outbreak remained mystery. One theory upon which New York po- lice were working was that it was over the Rice liquor trade, which was said to have become quite profitable with the deterioatins quality of other bootleg liquor. At Newark it was thought the war might be over the opium trade $50.- 900 worth of the drug having been seized in that city Saturday.
 Mir Tuttle's call for conference was issued yesterday after Sing On Jun, a restaurant proprietor in Har- lem, had been wounded. A white woman employed in his kitchen also was shot.
 Last night, Chin Lee, Harlem laundry man. was shot and killed as he worked at his ironing board - After a conference yesterday with Young and representatives of the rival Tongs, Mir. Futile let it be Known that if the warfare was not stopped in New York at once whoi"- sale deportations of Chinese would result.
 ~ Willing to Arbitrate In a statement he said his pur- bose in calling a meeting of Tong officers was to offer the good offices of Young and himself to settle any differences that may have arisen and Testore the peace agreed upon after the last Tong outbreak several years ago.
 % I have stated 10 representatives Of both Tongs that it is the inteu- iion of the American government to take all steps necessary to prevent an outbreak of organized murder he said.
 e In Boston Ching King was shot dead in the street and Yee Wah was fatally wounded while lying on cot in his laundry. Police arrested Yee Sing for the murder of Tee Nah and held four other Chinese as suspects. Harry Yee Soong Tang. .. former secretary of the Hip Sings. said he believed the shots that killed Ching were intended for him as he was working nearby when he was killed.
