London, May 4.—The portrait of ‘Henry James, the novelist, by John ,Singer Sargent, the American artist, - hanmnx in one of the galleries of the Royal Academy, was virtually ruined this afternoon by a suffragette. The woman who committed the out- rage gave her name as Mrs. Wood. - She belongs to the group of militants calléd “The Wild Women.” Armed with a butcher’s cleaver, Mrs. Wood approached the painting in a casual manner. Opportunity offering, she suddenly dashed forward, produced a cleaver from under her gloak, and was successful in slashing it a number of times before bystanders seized and stopped her. Accompanied by Man. Mrs. Wood was accompanied by & man, who attempted to impede those .persons who restrained her. ‘When the police appeared on the scene Mrs. ‘Wood was handed over to them. The academy was opened to the public today. The picture 'damaged by Mrs. Wood was considered one of nt’s masterpieces, and it was one of the most prominent canvases at the exhibition. L Mrs. Wood was roughly handled by 3 the crowd before the police took her into custody. . d Special Meeting Held. The council of the Royal Academy held a special meeting this afternoon to decide what steps might' be taken. The portrait was executed by Mr. Sargent on a commission from a group of Mr. James' friends, for presentation to the author. Several fashionably dressed women were prominent in the successful ef- forts of the spectators to restrain Mrs. ‘Wood. The man with Mrs. Wood charac- terized her course as an act of cour- . age In a voice loud .enough to be , heard by the spectators. The crowd . became.angry and rushed upon him with shouts of “throw him out!” He was being severely handled when the police entered and ejected him from the gallery. Three Gashes Across Face.

Pohl, in his suit against Schaefer, said he had been damaged to the extent of $5,000 by the alleged@ theft of his wife’s affections.

The suit for alienation was a great shock to him, he says, and | will never be proven. The Pohl vs, Schaefer action caused considerable comment has disturbed the peace of mind the defendant to a great extent. also claims that his character has been blemished by the charge, his wife has béen made sick and his fam- ily held up to ridicule and scorn.

WARBURG CHOSEN AS MEMBER Official Washington Awaiting nouncement of Full Personnel of Council Which Will Set in Motion the New Currency Law. ‘Washington, May 4.—President Wil- son hags selected Richard Olney, secre- tary of state in the Cleveland adminis- tration, to be governor of the federal reserve board, and Paul Warburg of New York, to be a member of the board. Although the president has offered the governorship to Mr. Olney, word of his acceptance was being awaited today, but friends here were inclined to belleve he would not decline. Mr. Olney was offered the ambassadorship to Great Britain by President Wilson earlly last year, but expressed an un- willingness to leave the country on account of his business interests. He is being strongly urged by friends of the president to accept this place, which the president has spoken of as of equal importance to a place on the bench of the supreme court of the TUnited States. Has Business Experience. Mr. Olney, though seventy-eight years old, is active and has had a long experience in the business world and | finance which the president and his advisers believe .would especially be adapted for the head of the reserve board. Mr. Warburton, who was connected with Kuhn, Loeb and company, has been offered membership on the ‘board and has accepted. ' Formal an- ncuncement of his selection as well as the other members of the board, be- sides the governor is expected to be made within the next two or three days, as offers are being’ made to the men whom the president has selected. It is understood that a southern banker is to be one of the three, but no intimation has come as yet as to his identity. Full Personnel Awajted. Official Washington as well as bank- ing circles generally are awaiting the announcement of the full personne] of the federal reserve hoard with intense ‘fiterest as it formally will set in otion the new currency’ law which ‘was 'signed December 28, last. With the selection of the twelve regional re- serve banks the organization of the board has been the most vital step ir. the operation of the new currency lew. The banks are being organized and the expectation of officials is that within another month the entire system will be in full swing, although there are certain transactions which/ will occupy a greater length of time. The complete board will consist of seven members, at salaries of $12,000 a year. The members of the treasury and the comptroller of the currency are ex-officlo members, and the five other members are to be appointed by the president. The law stipulates that the members should be appointed with reference to the ‘“‘geographical, com- mercial and financial divldona of the country.” Will Serve Ten Years. With Mr. Olney representing New England and Mr. Warburg, New York, it was expected that the other mem- bers to be selected would represent the south, the middle west and the far west. The appointees will serve ten years. Conference Is Held. Senator Owen conferred with the president today about selections of the board. He said that he did not dis- cuss individuals but rather talked over the general banking viewpoint he belleved should be held by the men to be selected. Senator Owen said that the remaining appointments would be made from a list of 147 men now before the president. These names were left after consideration of 2 much larger list. Olney Is Silent. Boston, May 4.—Richard Olney smiled when informed today that President Wilson had selected him for governor of the federal reserve board, ‘but declined to comment on the an- nouncement, or indicate whether he ‘would accept. Mr. Olney is in his 78th year and though vijgorous and active, was in- fluenced by his advanced years as well as by his business interests to decline the diplomatic office tendered him a year ago.

SEVENTY WITNESSES FOR BECKER'’S TRIAL Rumored Ex-Lieutenant Will Take Stand in His Own Defense When Case Is Re-opened Wednesday. New York, May 4.—For the sec- ond trial of Charles Becker, former police lieutenant, on a charge of hav- ing instigited the murder of Herman Rosenthal which will begin on Wed- nesday, District Attorney Charles S. ‘Whitman will call seventy Witnesses, many of whom did not testify in the first trial. The court of appeals in granting Becker a new trial discredited the testimony of Sam Schepps, and made it valueless at the coming trial. It is said that Becker is anXious to take the stand in his own behalf and | that Martin T. Manton, his coupsel, may permit him to do so. It is- expected that several days will be occupied in securing a jury. The trial probably will occupy three weeks or a month. CONSTERNATION REIGNS IN PHARMACY CIRCLES Whiskey Selling Results in Certificates Being Held Up. That three or four local druggists may not be granted certificates tes- tifying to their character by the state board of pharmacy was stated today to a Herald reporter by John A. Leverty, a member of the commission, who was interviewed over the tele- phone at his place of business in Eridgeport. If the certificates are withheld it will be because of the disclosures made several months ago by agents of the state police, who testified on the witness stand in police court that they had no trouble in purchasing whiskey on Sunday in certain stores. The refusal of the pharmacy board 'to deliver the licenses to the druggists will be equivalent to taking away their liquor licenses as the county commis- sloners .will not grant permission to the druggists to handle liquor unless they can present the certificates. The majority of druggists who have j applied to the pharmacy board for their certificates have already received them. But, according to Mr. Leverty, a number have been held up for in- vestigation and while he did not say ‘@0~ At 1s. known sthat the board {8 can- Ttemplnmg holding ‘them up perma- nently, The tardiness of the board in not awarding certificates to certain drug- glsts has cause@ consternation among those who have not received them and several are said to face business star- vation. It is said that they will sell out their business if they are unn.b]e to get certificates. When the state police agents were ‘here they said they had no difficulty in obtaining whiskey although they were total strangers to the druggists they ‘approached. As a result of their testimony 'some of the druggists were convicted in police court and were heavily fined. One appealed to su- perior court and that case is now pending. Another discredited the evi- dence of the state police agents by proving an alibi for all the clerks from which the agents said they bought the whiskey. BURNS CLUB DANCE.

Seibert, chauffeur for Willilam E. Beers, was driving the Beers automobile along North Main street this morning when a horse at- tached to a bakery wagon became frightened and the two vehicles col- lided. According to Seibert the horse was standing on the wrong side of the street. The owner of the wagon wanted $25 for damage done to his property. Selbert reported the accl- dent to the police and was corrobor- ated by Herbert White, who was in the machine with him. COMPANY 1 IN UNIFORM. Company 1, First Regiment, C. N.

AMMONS UNABLE 10 STAND STRAIN Colorado Exceutive Forced to His Bed Whi Prparing Message. STOM THREATENED IN ASSEMBLY Heavy Patrols of Federal Troops Scat- tered Throughout Strike Zones Re- lieve Tension of State Officials— Embargo on Arms Declared. Denver, May 4.—Exhausted by the strain over events of the last two weeks in the strike zone, Governor F. M. Ammons has been unable to prepare his message for the special session of the legislature which con- vened today to consider legislation in connection with the strike. Last night while working upon the mes- sage Governor Ammons broke down and was forced to his bed. In consequence, it was announced early today that the governor would ask both branches of the legislature to meet in joint session and he then was to. ask them to enact a measure permitting the issuance of bonds to pay the expenses incurred by the | | state in maintaining the militia in the strike zone a debt which now exceeds $1,000,000. The legislators were to be asked to enact a law prescribing | arbitration and means of enforcing the digtum of the arbiters in future cases of labor strife. The appoint- ment of a permanent state constab- ulary to be used in event of peace disturbances of magnitude and theé prohibition of the sale of munitions of war and liquor in infected regions also was a part of the legislative pro- gram. Storni is Threatened. Among the legislators today there was an undercurrent which threatened to break into a storm over the con- duct of the strike. Labor leaders were maneuvering for action against certain individuals. ' Party leaders were di- vided, but the forces usually in har- mony with Lieutenant-Governor Fit: gerald, a democrat, joined those sup- porting the governor to combat any criticism of the administration. It was also said that republican leaders were inclined to uphold the conduct of the administration. Progressives and the women members of the house and senate were etpected to combat the legislative progress of the admin- istration. Friends of the administration, how- ever, were confident they would have sufficlent support to carry the program. Sense of Security. Heavy patrols of federal troops scattered throughout the strike zones of Colorado gave state officials a sense of security today which they had not felt since the inception of the indus- trial strife. Practically all Colorado National been withdrawn, The matter of disarmament has not been undertaken yet and probably will not be until the arrival late today of Col. James Lockett with the Eleventh regiment, U. 8. cavalry. Officials of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company declared that just as soon as the com- mander of the federal troops is ready to disarm the men and afford protec- tion at the mines, the guards in their employ will turn over their arms. No intimation had been received, however, as to'the manner in which the strikers would observe the procla- mation of disarmament. out of Guardsmen the have Embargo on Arms. Trinidad, Col, May 4.—Major W. A. Holbrook, in command of the Fed- eral troops in Colorado, yesterday placed an embargo on the importation of arms or ammunition into the state. He announced that any arms shipped in violation of the order would confiscated. lows: “Headquarters Federal Forces, “Trinidad, Colo., May 3, 1914. “To All Rallroad and Express Com- panies, State of Colorado: “By authority be The embargo order fol- of the secretary of war the embargo established by the state authorities on the receiving, shipping or delivering arms and am- munition in this state will tinued. “You will therefore any be con- refrain from of the acts above specified.

Must Close Saloons. Major Holbrook sent a letter to Mayor W. P. Dunlevy directihg him to keep the saloons of Trinidad closed until further orders. The order prohibiting the re-open- ing of the saloons is contained in a personal letter to the mayor, in which Major Holbrook says: “There seems to be an foot to reopen the saloons in this county. Considering the situation as now existing, a most serlous one, and that the demands of humanity as well as of expediency, require the saloons to remain closed, I, as commander ot the federal forces in this district herc- by direct that all saloons closed until further orders.” agitation on remain | cemetery. MAY ERECT ARMORY ON COMINGS PLACE R. H|. Erwin Considering Project of Constructing Building to Replace Hanna's Armory. If present plans of It. H. Erwin, of Maple Hill, materialize the Comings property on East Main street will be- come the site of a large armory replace Hanna's building on the same street, which was sold recently to Landers, Frary & Clark. Mr. Erwin has definite details in mind and will consult architects very soon. He is acting upon the encouragement of several influential business and ‘so- ciety men, and feels sure that an armory at the proposed location would be a paying proposition. To a Herald man Mr. Erwin stated that he was planning the erection of a building similar in many respects to Hanna's armory, with the addition, however, of dining and grill rooms, to be used only on speclal occusions. The hall proper will be somewhat larger and more airy than the onhe in Hanna's building. 'In. answer to a question regarding the possibility of Sylvester Z. Poli purchasing the property for the erec- tion of a theater in this city as is be- ing rumored, Mr. Erwin said he had heard from outside sources that Mr. Poli is interested in such a project. “Mr. Poli has not consulted me per sonally in the matter, however,” he added. The Comings place is one of the largest pieces of undeveloped prop- erty, centrally located in this city. It has a frontage of 173 reet and a depth of 216 feet, being located be- tween Main and Center streets. DEATH CLAIMS THIRTEEN Stanley Post Necrology List a Long One—Memorial Service Wednesday.
