BOUND OVER TO SUPERIOR COURT ‘Man Who It Is Alleged Put Ties on New Haven Tracks Tells of His Course in @ Detectives® Correspon- dence School. Evidence introduced in the trial of “\John C. Calhoun at Berlin today for paving wilfully and deliberately placed a heavy railroad tie on tracks of the New York, New HB‘V ‘and Hartford Railroad company ati spot near the Connecticut Orchards Wednesday morning in an attempt to derall pas - press train No. 86, brough < property in this vicinityy dangering the lives of - passengers daily. After a rather length was bound- over to v term of the superior *bonds of $2,500. Judge G ~ wold presided. In the opinion of raflroad was due only to the alertness of .gineer John Rust of New Haven't his_train was not plunged down embankment shortly after 11 A. last Wednesday. Looking out of h cab window as he rounded the curvej near the orchards, he perceived the obstruction on the track and, ‘with barely enough time, brought _his peeding train to an abrupt stop. ‘Would Be a Hero. From the story which the train W{ecker told Prosecuting . Attorney William H. Gibney shortly after his arrest late Friday aftermoon, it is thought that his motive in_placing the tie-on the tracks was to afford him the opportunity of being a hero ‘ by running out and flagging the en- gineer as he rounded the curve, sub- sequently receiving such money as might have been collectéd among the passengers for his benéfit and the re- ward which the railroad company has Yeen paying for such deeds. However, in a written confession, which he made to the authorities and railroad detective yesterday, Calhoun states that he was angry upon being unsuccessful in an attempt to board a swiftly moving freight and that his action was prompted by a feeling of revenge. v Calhoun was sitting on the Kensing- ton viaduct late Friday afternoon when approached by Arthur B. See, a special officer for the New Haven road. He' admitted that he had at- tempted to wreck the express and was taken into custody immediately. Sat- urday morning he was arraigned in court, charged with trespassing on railroad property, during the trial for which he made several statements which led the authorities to believe that he was the man for whom they have been searching for the past sev- _eral days. Accordingly, the case was continued and the prisoner taken to the New Britain police station. The charge of trespass was dropped this morning. Officer See Testifies, Officer See was the first witness called at today’s trial. He testified that | he had been notifled last Wednesday morning of an attempt to wreck an express train near Berlin. Accom- panied by Sheriff James Clark of Ber- lin, he hurried to the scene in an en- deavor to locate clues. The spot where the ties had been found and the express train brought to a stop was near what is called Cooley's Crossing, he said. Before he arrived the obstruction had been removed from the tracks. He told of his fol- lowing up clues and of his arresting the prisoner on Friday. Arrested by R. R. Detectives. Officer See told the court that he| approached Calhoun as a friend and | began a conversation with him, learn- ing from him that he had slept in a freight car the preceding night be- cause he was out of work and short of funds. He told the officer that he had walked from Meriden to Hart- ford on Wednesday and that he had heard of an attempt to wreck a train. ! Officer See testified that he then took Calhoun to Deputy Sheriff Clark’s | house, where a long conversation en- | sued, the sheriff taking notes. This | concluded Officer See's testimony. At this juncture of the trial, Pros- ecutor Gibney called attention to the fact that the railroad had not seen to it that all its witnesses were on hand at the trial and that he could not appreciate such an attitude. Sheriff Clark on Stand. Deputy Sheriff James Clark of Ber- _lin was then called to the stand. He old of arresting Calhoun Friday at- | number of neckties and a freight time | %able on his person, while searching| His clothes. As he had neglected to bring the articles into court with him, he was instructed to send for them. Continuing his testimony, the sheriff asdarted that Calhound had told him that We had been employed by the railrou® as a section foreman about tWo yeais.ago, having worked in the (Continued on Fourteenth Page.) | cemetery, PAY LAST TRIBUTES TO UNIONIST LEADER Lord Mayor and Civic Dignitaries Attend Memorial Services for Late Joseph Chamberlain. Birmingham, Eng., July 6.—The late Joseph Chamberlain, the unionist leader, was buried today in Hookley which is situated in the constituency he represented in the house.of commons for so many years. Previous to the buria] a memorial service was held in the Church of the Messiah, which was attended by the lord mayor ot Birmingham, the mem- bers of the city council and other civic dignitaries. Apart from the civic element the mourners at h the church and the cemetery con b vention of of American ‘session Rabbi Ste- phen 8. Wise of New York, attacked what he called .the “Reactionary” members and demanded the adop- tion of the report of the committee on “The Synagogue and industrial-re- lations,” which was submitted by Rabbi Solomon Foster .of Newark, N. The committee recommended that the conference “endorse heartily” . principles of the minimum wage, in- dustrial - insurance, workmen’'s ¢&om- pensation, old age pensions, prohibi- tion of child labor and the right of workmen to organize. Rabbi H. G. Enelow of New York, declared the conference was not ready to approve this economic creed and moved that consideration of the report be put over until next year. ‘“What you are really after is in- definite postponement,”” charged Rabbi Wise. “You say this is a pure- ly economic problem. I tell you it is a religious and moral problem. There are those among us who not only thoroughly believe in all the princi- ples recommended in the report, but who believe in the abatement and ultimate abolition of poverty as a curse in the world. “What you want us to do is to cater to the wealthy employers of labor, who so largely support the synagogue. You are afraid of what the rich may say if we take a stand for social and economic justice. You quote the Scriptures that ‘Justice, Jjustice shall thou preach,” but you are afraid to practice what you preach.” When the test came, the ‘‘conser- vatives” won. It was voted to have copies of the report printed and sent to all members of the conference to be acted on at next year's convention. Rabbi Louis Bernstein, in telling of the work of the synagogue for de- fective, delinquent - and dependent Jews, declared that in twenty-one penal institutions in the middle west, including penitentiaries, reformatories and industrial schools, there are only 125 Jews in a total of more than 14,- 000 prisoners.

In this type no floor beams are used, the posts branching out at each floor like mushrooms and thus supplying a substitute for beams. The Stanley ‘Works’ large nine-story building at the corner of Myrtle and Curtis streets is a concrete building faced with brick but the old “floor and beam”,type is ured in the construction. Boston Firm Gets Contract. . The new building will be another ‘monster monument to the progress of New Britain. It will be 200 feet long and sixty feet wide and will be modern in every respect. The con- tract has been let to the Aberthaw construction company of Boston and, Lefore many days the contractors will baye gnen on the spot doing all neces- .:i, redminary work. ##The cost of the building will be taken from the $1,000,000 increase in . capi- tal stock ‘made a few months ago, a great part of which is being devoted to the expansion of the business by the erection of new buildings. One lurge plant is being erected in Chicago and it is said that the corporation in- tends to put up a large building in Canada. Typical of Stanley Works. “Progress” has been the watch- word.of the Stanley Works éver since it was founded. Its goods are recog- | nized as the last word in their line wherever the sound of saw and ham- mer is heard. -It has been fortunate in having at its head men of strict integrity and business acumen who always keep their eyes a few years ahead of their rivals, It is part ot the big industrial backbone of New Britain and is recognized as one ' of the sound assets of the Hardware City. Flannery Co. wo Branch Out. Preliminary surveys have been made by the P. J. Flannery company of Whiting street for a new $10,000 building to be erected in the near future. The building will be . one story in height and will be of brick construction. It will be 150 feet long by 128 feet wide and will be used as a machine shop. The contract has not been awarded but will be in about two weeks. The P, J. Flannery company is one of New Britain's smaller industries that is having a steady and conserva- tive growth. It is a family concern and is being managed in a wise man- ner as is testified to by its need of ex- pansion. Tts goods have a ready sale and are always in demand. Jarvis' Co. Gets Big Contract.

Stamford, July 6.—Mrs. Helen M. Angle remained in the Stamford lock- up today while the inquiry into the tragic death of Waldo R. Ballou, on June 23, went quietly forward. The police are desirous that Mrs. Angle be removed to the county jail at Bridge- port, as the resumption by Coroner Phelan of his inquest Is indefinite and they would prefer that some one else | should look after her. Mrs, Angle is visited by her father, Leonard Blondel, who spends much time with her. She is in much better physical and nervous condition than last week and accepts her detention with good temper. To several visjtors she said that her fath- er and counsel were constantly urging upon her the value of silence and so she will say nothing about the case. The inquiry into Mr. Ballou’s death is being conducted by State's Attorney Cummings. Tt is understood that all theories that Ballou was struck by a third party on that night have been abandoned, and that inquiry is di- rected to the actual reason for Ballou | calling twice that night. The police believe that only Mrs. Angle knows the way in which Ballou met his| death, and they have persistently said | that they do not think he fell down stairs. They tend to the opinion that he couple quarreled. It may be ten days or more before bomner Phelan comes here again to SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS WITH EIGHTY PRESENT Center Church Innovation Bids Fair to Be Great Success. With over eighty children, ranging in ages from four to fourteen years, present at the opening session and indications pointing to greater num- | bers .attending as the week advances the Summer Vacation school opened at the First Congregationat church chapel today, bids fair to be one of the most successful innova. tions that this city has seen in a long time. Classes were organized this morne | ing in raffa work, basketry work, | sewing, hammock making and kinder- garten work under able instructors. | Miss Minnie Paro has charge of the sewing classes and is assisted by the Misses Frances Parker, Harriet Wells ahd Henrietta Flagg and Mrs. John Northend. Miss Lelia Clary is In charge of the raffia work department and is being aided by the Misses Lucy Clark and Mildred Robinson. Rev. Elmer T. Thienes and Mrs. Seelye are conducting the hammock making work and the kindergarteners are under the able supervision of Miss Fay Robinson of the Hartford School of Religious Pedagogy. Miss Eliza- beth Rogers ad Miss Dorothy Latham are ‘also identified with this work. While there are many boys already enrolled in this summer school the girls predominate in numbers, there being about fifty of the latter. The order of work is for the enrolling of the children at 9:16 o’clock and the opening of the various classes at 9:30 o’clock. Work and play is enjoyed un- til 11:30 o’clock when the children 8o home. This school will run five days each week, Saturday and Sunday be- ing the only days excepted, until Au~ gust 14 when the sessions will cease. This is an entirely new proposition | in" this city and seems to be taking well with both parents and children as it offers a place where the little tots may spend their time advan- tageously and yet pleasantly. Other large citles about the United States have found these summer schools de- cidedly advantageous to the rluingl generation. 1 HOSPITAL DONATIONS.

SHOT FIRED AT DOCTOR'S DOUBLE Negro Maid Admits She Signed Paper for Physician's Wife’'s Coun- sel Without Reading It or Ilwving it Read to Her. Freeport, N. Y., July 6.—The In- quest inte the death of Mrs. Louise Bailey, wife of a New York manu- facturer, was resumed here today with a dozen witnesses ready to tes- tify. Mrs. Bailey was shot and killed room of Dr. Edwin Carman, a prominent Freeport physician. Assistant District Attorney Weeks today exhibited an unopened box of 38-calibre revolver cartridges, which he said he had found in the attic of the Carman home. Dr. Carman told him, said Weeks, that he did not know how the cartridges came to be in his house. A 38-calibre bullet killed Mrs. Bailey. Fired at Double. W.J.W. Haff, Jr., of Lynbrook, near here, who strongly resembles Dr. Carman and drives an automobile of the same type, reported to the Free- port police that early this morning while driving his machine not far from where Dr. Carman was fired up- on last night, a man standing beside the road fired one shot at him. Harm is a long time friend of Dr. Carman. The first witness at the inquest was Celia Coleman, a negro maid in the Carman home. She began her story by telling who was at the dinner table on Tuesday night. The witness said Mrs. Carman complained of hav- ing a headache and sald she was go- ing upstairs. The witness saw ner leave the dining room and later heard footsteps she believed were those of Mrs. Carmon, on the stairs. Talked With Counsel. She admitted having talked with George Levy, Mrs. Carman’s attorney, the morning after the murder. She insisted that no one clse was present | at the conference. The district at- torney asked several times if she had told him ‘previously that Mrs. ence. The witness said she didn’t re- member. Her memory was faulty regarding the things Levy had talked about, but she was sure Mrs. Carman had never spoken to her about the shooting and that the physiclan's wife had not asked her about what she had seen the night of the mur- der. | “When did you change your mind | about what you told me Mrs. Carman had told you, and when did you lose your -memory? Who told you to change your statement?” asked Mr. Smith, “Nobody,” said the negress, Had Signed Paper. The witness admitted that she had signed a paper for Mr. Levy without reading it or without having it read to her. As to the events just before the murder the witness sald she heard the crash of glass and the report of the revolver. The shot sounded as if it was in the doctor’s office. She ran into the pantry and then to the door. She denied that she had heard any-| thing else or seen any one running through the kitchen. It was nearly an hour later, she said, before she saw Mrs. Carman. Mrs. Carman was in her bed room, Mother Weeps Constantly. The next witness was Mrs. Jennie Duryea, mother of Mrs. Bailey. She was dressed in deep mourning and had to be assisted to the stand. She wept constantly. Mrs. Duryea said her daughter had been complaining of feeling bad and that it was she who urged her to g0 to'a doctor. ‘Willlam D. Bailey, husband of the murdered woman, was called. His wife had not complained to him of feeling ill, he said, and he was not aware that she ever knew of Dr. Car- man. Madeline Baliley, seventeen years old daughter of the Baileys, said that her mother had never mentioned Dr. Carman’s name to her. Sheriff Heard Shot. Archie Wallace, a deputy sheriff, testified that he was not far from the Carman house when he heard a shot and hurried there in his automobile. He saw Dr. Runcie, a neighbor, run- ning toward Dr. Carman’s house 'and the doctor’s colored maid on the lawn. He saw no one else around the house. The next witness was Miss Hazel Combs. She said she arrived at Dr. Carman’s office about 7 o’clock and a man and woman she did not know were in the waiting room. She saia she saw Mrs. Carman walking around the house and saw her admit a man patient (Golder) and go into Dr. Car- man’s office to answer the telephone, before the doctor came out of the dining room. Mrs. Carman had de- nied on the stand that she had ever entered her husband’s office since she saw Mrs. Variance, the nurse, kiss him.

Washington, July 6.—When the senate resumed conslderation of anti- trust legislation today, democratic leaders prepared to make a deter- mined effort to malatain a quorum to do business. The trade commission bill is the unfinished business before the senate. Considerable difficulty has been ex- perienced by Senator Lewis, the dem« ocratic “whip,” in keeping a quorum in the senate chamber. This, too, despite the fact that the action ot the democratic conference last week bound the majority senators to stay in Washington until the administra- tion anti-trust program is disposed of. Repeated roll calls have been neces- sary to secure a quorum. ‘Warm weather and approaching pri- maries are believed to be responsible for theé small attendance. 1n order to expedite action on trust and other pending legislation, Major- ity Leader Kern is expected to ask that night sessions be held during the week. Belief is entertained that this would result in reachimg a vote on the interstate trade bill before the close of the week. Unsuccessful ef- forts already have been made to fix a time for a vote. If no unexpected hitches occur, some of the leaders cling to the hope that an adjourn- ment may be taken before Sept. 1, Indications today are that adjourn. ment may be delayed by republican opposition, lead by Senators Borah, harbor bill. They promise to make determined efforts to prevent its pass. age. They object to the bill because it carries about $10,000,000 more than the house bill, and declare that it al- so authorizes the expenditure in fu- ture years of over $40,000,000 in ad- dition.
