As was announced some time ago President Wilson and the attorney general had agreed that the suit | should be filed not later than July 15, | unless the Massachusetts legislature and the executive committee of the railroad agreed on certain legislation necessary for disposing of some of the stocks which the government contends are being held in violation of law. Administration officlals pin their faith of a settlement without a long .fight on the fact that a new legislature comes ‘into existence on January 1. Under ordinary procedure a suit filed this month would !mt proceed very far by that time, and'could be halted whenever the necesss & peaceful settl Washington, July %—With three members of the federa] reserve board, Charles S.

It probably will be three weeks be- fore all returns are in from the elec- tion now in progress to select di- rectors of the various federal reserve banks. The banks are selecting four, and ‘the federal reserve board must select two directors for each federal reserve bank. ‘While the powers of the federal ad- visory council are purely advisory, it is believed by many bankers that membership upon it will be nearly as important as membership on the fed- eral reserve board, The council will have only twelve men, one for each federal reserve bank, and its members will be in such close touch with the affairs of their districts, as well as af- fairs of the federal reserve board in ‘Washington, that much depends on the character of men named for the council. who will keep the board posted on conditions throughout the United States and their recommendations will be of vital importance to the board.

CAMPERS GO BEAR HUNTING Dispatches Say Army Under Ginsberg and Bertini Are on Trail of ‘Wild Animal. The first dispatch from the New Britain Y. M. C. A. boys’ camp at Con- gamond, Mass., was received at the Herald office this afternoon and im- parts the information that all the campers are enjoying the best of health and having a fine time. The Herald has learned that John Bertini and Harry Ginsberg, the well known Y. M. C. A. comedians, who arrived at the camp only a few days ago, instituted a bear hunt yesterday, it being rumored among the neighbor- ing campers that a wild animal of that species had been seen prowling| along the shores of the lake on the preceding night., Immediately the local heroes set. out, armed to the teeth with boards and fence raus, but the enemy must have been warned of the approach of the Bertini-Gins- berg army, for when it arrived on the battlefleld Mr, Bear had retreated ig- nominiougly for regions unknown. The generals have been informed that the camp is running short of meat so with their trusty follower, Ber- tini's dog, Rover, they have continued their search. They have asked that Mayor Quigley have a cage built on Central park in place of the cap pistol and pills which adorned the center of this beautiful city, in which to house the captive. On Wednesday, July 15, the tri- umphant army will return to New Britain. Generals Ginsberg and Ber- tini have wired “Tippy” Fay asking him to prepare a red hot speech for the event, to see that the city is dec- orated and that two bands, accom- panied by the Expressmen’s union, be on hand to receive them at the rail- road station.

CORONER'S - INQUEST 1S CLOSED New Witness Testified He Saw Wom- an Running Away From Physiclan’s Office Window Shortly After Shot ‘Was Fired. Freeport, N. Y., July 8.—Mrs. Ea- win Carman was arrested this after- noon in connection with the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey. The inquest into the death of Mrs. Louise Bailey, mysteriously murdered on Tuesday night, June 30, in the of- fice of Dr. Edwin Carman, a practicing physician of this village, was closed shortly before noon today. No verdict was immediately announced. New Witness Testifies, Ellswood Bardes, a new witness, testified just before the hearing ciosed i that he had seen a woman he was unable to identify, running away from the doctor’s office shortly after the shot which killed Mrs. Bailey was fired. She wore a dark skirt and V{hlte shirtwaist. Witnesses testify- ing at previous sessions of the inquest swore that Mrs, Carman was thus garbed on the night of the murder. She has maintained, however, that she was dressed in a kimono and in her bedroom. In this contention Mrs. Carman was borne out on the stand today by her younger daughter, Eliza- beth. The district attorney informed the coroner after the inquest that he be- lieved a woman should immediately be arrested and held for the murder. Gaston Boissonault, manager of the detective division of a company which manufactures devices to record con- versations, was the first witness called today at the inquest. Installed Telephone Device. It was Roissonault’s company that installed a telephone device in Dr. Carman’s office some time before the murder, at the order of Mrs. Car- man. The witness told today, of the first call of Mrs. Carman at his office. She first said she was a dressmaker, then admitted her identity, adding tic try % e went on in her husband’s office. This was on May 19. The witness said arrange- ments for the rental of the instru- ment were made that day. On the same day Mrs. Carman made plans to take her husband away for two days while the instrument was being installed. Saw Nurse Kiss Doctor. The witness said Mrs. Carman had tcld him about seeing a nurse kiss Dr. Carman. “She said she was so mad,” he went on, “when she saw that kiss that she almost broke the window by knocking on it.” Mrs. Carman told him further, he said, that she knew her husband met many women both in his home and outside, and she asked the witness whether he could furnish detectives to follow him. She sald emphaticall however, that she would not get a dalvorce on account of her daughter, Had Received Letter. The witness said one of his in- struments was installed after he re- celved a letter from Mrs. Carman announcing when she would have her hukband out of the way. The letter, witich Mrs. Carman later demanded and received, informed him that Mrs, Cerman’s mother would meet the man #ent to install the instrument. Mrs, Carman and her mother called upon him next in May, said the witness. Mrs. Carman told him she was “satisfied” and that she had been keeping in a diary a record of everything she had heard over the in< strument. She said she had some difficulty in hearing all that went on in the doctor’s office because the doc: tor and his women patients so times whispered. She bought t additional batteries on this occasion. Boissonault denied that any instru- | ments had recorded Mrs, Carman’s conversations' with him, and he was then excused. Daughter on Stand. Elizabeth Carman, twelve years old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Carman was called. She said after dinner on the night of the murder her mother told her to stop running around the hopse and to sit down and be quiet So, said Elizabeth, she went in the dining room and sat down. The din- ing room was dark and the curtains between it and her father's waiting room were pulled aside. She saw two persons, & man and a woman, in the waiting room ten minutes before the murder. She saw no one in the hall. Directly after the shot was fired she ran upstairs and saw her mother, her aunt and her grandmother there, Her mother, she said, was in a kimono. Detectives today were running down a new theory of the killing that was advanced in Freeport yes- terday. This was to the effect that a New York gunman played a part in it, that he brought the weapon from New York, broke the glass of the window looking upon Dr. Car- man’s office, handed the gun to the slayer, took it back after the shoot- ing and then escaped with it Several subpoenas have been is- sued ordering witnesses to appear be- | fore the grand jury. TEN INJURED WHEN TRAIN HITS WASHOUT Fireman Badly Scalded and Mail Olerk Painfully Hurt in Ver. mont Accident. Sheldon, Vt., July 8.—Ten persons were injured, one seriously and many others were shaken up and bruised when a Central Vermont train ran into a washout near Sheldon Springs last night. The accident happened in what is known as Chadwick Cut. The road bed had been washed away by a ter- rific rain storm, leaving a gully twen- ty feet deep below the tracks. The engine passed over before the track fell in, but was derailed on the fur- ther side of the gap. At the same instant that the loco- motive was deralled, the tracks gave way beneath the weight of the tender. The tender did not fall, however, as it 'was telescoped by the baggage car in such a way as to form an arch across the gully. The fireman was badly scalded, and a malil clerk was painfully hurt. The engineer, baggageman ana six passen- gers received minor injuries. All wére taken to a hospital at St. Albans to- day. MRS. PANKHURST AGAIN IN HOLLOWAY JAIL Militant Suffragettes Create Violent Scene in Central Criminal Court, London, July 8.—Mrs, Emmeline Pankhurst today resumed command of the forces of the Women's Social and Political union at their London headquarters, but was not permitted to remain there long. She reoccupied the offices at noon, without hindrance by the police, although they knew of her intention and had detectives on duty in the vicinity, However, when she emerged from her headquarters to go to lunch the police pounced on her and took her to Holloway jail. Simultaneously with the reappear- ance of Mrs. Pankhurst a violent scene wag created in the central criminal court, where Mrs. H. F. Alice Hall, Miss Grace Roe, Miss Julia Jameson and Miss Hilen Armes were brought _for,_ conspiracy. - The 14 was that of “con- spiring with others maliciously to commit damage and injury and to spoil certain real and personal prop- erty of the Liege subjects of our lord the king.” The prisoners were arrested during a rald on a west end flat. on May 21 and in their rooms were found a new shrapnel grenade of ingenius manu- facture, colls of fuse and plans of houses with instructions how to reach them and as to the usual movements of the police in the vicinity. Miss Roe and Mrs. Hall when brought into court surrounded by women wardens, refused to plead. They threw papers and pens from the prisoners’ enclosure and shouted a running commentary on their treat- ment in Holloway jail. Both of these prisoners complained of having been forcibly fed. They made a violent fight, and it took two policemen and five women attendants to carry them out of court to the cells below. ‘When the judge decilded to proceed with the trial in the absence of the two women, Mrs. Hall threw herself to the floor and kicked several police- men, and it took some minutes to re- move her. The other prisoners pleaded guilty. not REV. J. B. NTHILL PROMOTED. Is Now Pastor of St. Augustine’s Parish, Bridgeport. The Rev. James B.
