OFFICERS FILE PROTEST
New Britain Companies Provit.-' Own Funds for Purchase of Food Roster Shows 6,529 in National Guard Roundup.
Special to the HeraldJ

l Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, Aug | 7.-The entire group of officers and men enCamped here are in a turmoil l over the failure on the part of the commissary department to provide
 food for the various mess kitchens. The New Britain companies are in a much better condition than most Of the other companies, but in the last | few hours the mess sergeants have 1 been having difficulty in getting the 1 food from the commissary and the result is that they are using the company mess fund for the purchase Of food.
 l Officers held a meeting and yigor- ously protested to officials over the 1 failure on the part of the commis- sary department to supply material i for the mess halls. Several army trucks have been sent to Boston and relief is in sight.
 Members of the New Britain com panies who were satisfied at first are starting to protest, but the ajority is inclined to regard the New Britain kitchen as being in a better position than the others. One kitchen in the neighborhood borrowed some eggs from the New Britain kitchen and they had eggs. bread and water for mess. Some of the companies had only bread and water.
 The New Britain companies had i regular meals but it was due to the efforts of the mess sergeants who bought a great deal of food. At the present. time New Britain
 is working on 2 mess fund whiC Il
 was contributed by the three com panies. Company H put in s1 a man
 for it's 63 men, Company I put in s1 a man for 63 men and Head quarters compapy put in s1 for 26 men.
 Third Run-Away Horse For the third time since the troops came to camp a horse broke away from the control of a guardsman and ran through the camp with a machine gun cart attached to 1t yes terday afternoon. Several attempted to stop it but without success. The horse was quartered in the stables of the 102d regiment.
 After it arrived it stepped on one of the stablemen's feet and the soL dier is walking about with limp. The guardsman was unhitching the animal from the cart when it bolted.

Mother LifeleSs, Her Derangd Daughter Has Poison Burns
 On Face
EVIDENCE OF STRUGGLE
 IN CHAPMAN ST. HOME
Mrs. John Nessel, 70, Found Dead Although Daughter Is Unable to Explain Circumstances Because of Mental Condition-Police Believe Older Woman Tried to Kill Own Child, Then Drank Fatal Dose.

Mystery surrounds the suicide by drinking poison of Mrs. John Nessel, 70, of 330 Chapman street, whose lifeless body was found on the floor by MT. and Mrs. George Nelson. son. in-law and daughter about 1 o'clock last night, upon their return from an automobile ride.
 Mrs. Nessel had another daughter, Miss Tillie Nessel, aged 28. with whom she slept Tillie had been away for treatment at an institution, but her aged mother wanted her at home, and despite the mental condi- ton of the daughter, the mother lavished her love Npon her. This love was not requited and many disagreements between the mother and daughter occurred, it is said. the mother pleading with the daughter to be a nice girl now" and the daughter becoming violently cratic and abusive.
 After finding the body the Nel- sons called Dr. David P. Waskowitz and Dr. Vincent F. Mendillo, and both arrived a few minutes later at the home They notified police, and an investigation started that is not yet ended.
 Daughter Unable to Explain
 The deranged daughter, TIllie, cannot talk and could not tell what had happened. Marks around her mouth and on her chest, and an rty boj tained poison, found on the floor of the bathroom, indicated that Mrs. Nessel had tried to compel Tillie to swallow the poison. Splashes Of poison on the walls and floor of the bathroom also indicated that there had been a struggle there,
 The bottle of poison which caused death had been purchased at a drug store, probably last Saturday night when Mrs. Nessel had gone out ito take little bus ride" as she eX- plained to Mrs. Nelson.
 Tillie is much stronger, physic- ally, than her aged mother was, ana there is a question whether she might have become enraged at her mother and forced her to drink the acid. and then failed in an attempt to kill herself or whether the mother tried to force poison into the mouth of her daughter and took the fatal drought later.
 Mrs. Nessel's body was removed 10 the undertaking rooms of Erickson & Carlson.
 Funeral services will be held Sat urday afternoon at 2;30 at the home and at o'clock at Erwin chapel. Burial will be in Fairviev cemetery.

City Losing Billion Gallons
 Every Spring, Former Board
 Chairman Claims
DECLARES DAM UNSAFE
 AND BLAMES ENGINEER
Supply Equal to Needs of City for 167 Days Flows Away Annually He Tells Party on Inspection Tour Explains Project to Form New Reservoir at Hart'S Mills.

Almost half as much water as is consumed by the city annually is wasted each year over the spillway of the Whigville reservoir, accord ing to William B. Rossberg, veteran water department official, who fur nished inspecting city officials yester- day with much information of inter est.
 Rossberg, chairman of the water board for many years and now a member of the citizens advisory committee, declared the city's prob lem to be one of impending water rather than the development of sources of supply, citing Hart's mill site as an ideal spot for a reservoir and branding the walls of Whigville dam IS insecure and an engineering blunder
 Light Attendance at Inspection
 The veteran official acted as guide for one of the two small parties which made up an inspecting group which, from a numerical standpoint was a failure. Only a handful of of ficials and citizens made the widely advertised tour of the city's i'm pounding plants and watersheds. Last year the party numbered more than 50 when refreshments and a dinner were a part of the attrac- tions, and many Of the council members frankly declared this year they were not interested in making the long and tiresome trip over countrX roads when no entertain ment features were provided.
 The group headed by Rossberg spent nearly an hour at the Forest vile pumping station. Here the pro- cess of drawing water from the soil was explained clearly and in detail by Foreman James Lynch, in charge of this important branch of the city's water service. He discussed the operation of the huge Deisel engines which ale used and conducted tour of the 21 wells and filtration plants through which it $ possible to draw each day nearly half as much water as the populace of New Britain consumes.
 Billion Gallons Wasted
 Next visited was Whigville reser- voir and dam. Based on his eXper- fence in the water department. Mir Rossberg estimated the spring vast age over the dam to be 1000, 100000 gallons of water which, reckoned on an average daily use of 6,000,000 gallons, represents a supply for the city for approximately l67 days. Op- erations on the present dam are i'm possible, he said, because the dam was not placed on a secure founda- ton and is unsafe. due, he claimed to the failure of the consulting en- gineer to plan the project properly,

E. MAIN AND CHESTNUT CUT
Four Men. Lose Jobs Because of Schedule Which Becomes Effec- tive at End of Week-Bryan Blames Motorists.

DiscontinuanCe of short-run cars on the West Main street line and curtailment Of service on the East Main and Chestnut street line in yolving laying off four motormen and conductors was announced by the Connecticut company today through the office of the local su- perintendent w J. Bryan,
 The new schedule, which becomes effective Saturday, was necessitated, according to MT. Bryan, by lack of sufficient patronage to warrant sev- en-and -a-half minute service on the West Main street to Corbin avenue route. Passengers on this line in the future will be cared for by the Plainville trolley operating on its regular , minute schedule.
 On the East Main and Chestnut cd at the usual schedule but only for certain rush period of the day. The first car on this run will leave the barn at 6:30 o'clock and service will be maintained until the car returns 10 the barn at 9;30 o'clock. Opera ton will be resumed at 11:5O o'clock for the noon hour traffic and the ears will return 10 the barn at 2:30 o'clock. Evening traffic will be looked after by runs between $50 ?. m. and $50 ?. m. All other runs will be discontinued. The cars will not operate at all on Sundays and holidays on this line.
 Crews Laid Of
 Because of these alterations in the operating schedule the company found it necessary 10 lay off three conductors and a motorman who have been in the employ of the company for more than a year
 Tn selecting the men to be laid off" Mir. Bryan said. i've chose the ones who were last employed and at the bottom of the seniority list, ac- Cording 10 the terms Of our agree ment with the union, We dislike to let them go. of course. for they have been faithful employees. but along with other industries and businesses we are feeling the effects of the business depression. Another factor that has contributed to the falling off in the number of trolley patrons is the habit of motorists stopping to pick up friends they see waiting for a car. Every time they do this the company loses a fare
 The conductors laid off are George D. Curtis. Earl Dilger and William Rinker. The motorman is Harold Heslin.
 Elmer Danforth, janitor Of the Chestnut street car barns, will re- tire from active service Sunday night after 37 years service with the Connecticut company. He re- sides at 4t3 West Main street.

Texan Governor
Threatens JObless
With Boss Brutality
(By a Worker Correspondent

AUSTIN, Texas. - Governor Dan
Moody, in an address here recently
called attention to the situation in
Chicago, which has reputation as
the haven of thugs. He compared
Texas with Chicago and said that in
his state Migrants would not get away
with as much as they do in Packing
own under the Public Eenemies"
ct "vagrant" gets 6 months, the
Migrants usually being the jobless.
He said that they would be treated
very severely in his state. Like all
other governors and executives
throughout the U. S., he points to
some other states to show how bad
that one is and how good his own is.
However, he does not mention how
severely" he treats lynchers in
Texas. 1t is known fact that they
get away with a lot more than do
the jobless IN Chicago.
Workers should know of this hypo-
crisy of capitalism. They should
recognize it as an essential part of
the permanent campaign against
workers and should fight it to the
bitter end.
