" ATTORNEY QUESTIO RUTHERFORD'S RIGHT McDonough Denics Inspestor I Legally Appointed Dy Mayer. MAYOR QUIGLEY IS OPTIMISTIC Fact That Mayor Appointed Ruther- ford on April 25 While Ordinanco Says Appointment Shall Be Made in May Raises Legal Technicality. One of the finest and best points of law ever brought out in the local court occurred today when At- torney Patrick F. McDonough, rep- resenting Mrs, Mary Wisk, who 1s charged with violating the tenement house Jaw in regard to providing means of egress in case of fire, raised the question of the legality of Arthur . N. Rutherford’s appointment; by .Mayor George A. Quigley as building inspector. Judge W. F. Mangan was “on the bench and as it appeared that Mr. Rutherford's testimony was very important to the prosecution of this ' case he continued the case until to- “ morrow while he decides whether the point raised by Attorney McDonough is valid. Charges Ag;l.l\\!t Mrs. Wisk. Last week Building Inspector (?) Rutherford brought charges against Mrs. Wisk, who conducts a tenement house at No. 143 Grove street, claim- ing that she had violated the builda- ing ordinance. For some time Inspector Ruther- ford had been investigating conditions in the woman's house and he was satisfied that she had broken the law. He charged that there are no fire exits in the building and that the Wisk woman had changed the block: from six tenements, for which it was built, to eleven tenements. It was brought out this morning that there are over fifty people housed in the block. T When the permit to build the place was issued it was for a six tenement structure. It is said that former Building Inspector August strom warned Mrs, Wisk not to make any alterations without securing per- | i/mission but, it 1is charged, she haa the block remodeled without consult- ing the = authorities. There are now said to be eleven tenements of three rooms each and the housing.

Place Has Been Inspected. 4 It was because of this very crowded tenant district that Superintendent of Health Dr. T. E. Reeks had visited the building to inspect its sanitary ‘gonditions and he testified this morn- ““Ing that he saw eleven cook stoves ‘there. On the first floor, he said, the temants In the rear have only the back door as a way to escape but the front tenants have the front door as well as a door leading into the Berg- | Siberia, according to the Courler, NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT.

EMPEROR'S DOCTOR 10 ATTEND MYSTIC MONK | Would-be Assnssin‘ Claims Victim Ruined Lives of Young Girls. St. Petersburg, Juld 15.—The em- peror of Russia’s court Prof. Sergius Petrovitch Federoff, ana the empress’ lady in waiting, .Mlle. Virubova, started today for Tyumen, to attend the mystic lay monk and im- perial confidant, Gregory Raspulin who is suffering from a wound in. flicted on him by a woman who triea to kill him. In a newspaper interview today, Guseva, the would-be assassin Who is in jail, said she had long meditatedt killing Raspulin and thus “putting an end to the awfu] evil wrought by him in Russia by {hs impostures under the Buise of a prophet.” She declared “He had shaken Christianity, was sowing temptation and was blasphemously mocking the most holy feelings of true believers,” ! and she added that “he enjoyed abso- lute immunity and had openly ana without conscience ruined the livea ot young girls.” Guséva concluded: ‘I as a simple Christian could not suffer his abuse of the church. 1 wanted to kill him last year. I went to Yalta, but could not approach him because he was so closely surrounded’ by aristocratic women followers. “I regret that I failed to kill him. All the same, he will not live, The Russian people will not endure such a disgrace.” - Raspulin, in an faterview saja: “It is all that cursed Heliodorus, abhot or Tsaritsyn. But to the confusion of himself and all my enemies, I wil live and they will have nooses put around their necks.” Hellodorus was a great rival of Raspulin in the Russian capital, whence he was recently banished ow- ing to Raspulin’s influence with the emperor. Raspulin is recovering from his wound. * COMPLETE PLANS ’l’O RECEIVE ROOSEVELT Half Dozen Committees Appointed to Arrange for Colonel’s Visit— Program of Day Outlined, Hartford, July 15.—Arrangements for the coming of Colonel Roosevelt to Hartford on August 16 and a state wide conference of progressives here on that date have been practically completed and@ a half dozen commit- tees were announced today.

PETITION PRESENTED T0 GRAND JURY Freeport Physician Says That Hand Thrust Through Window When Shot Was Fired Was a Man’s and Recalls Seeing Cuff on Wrist. Mineola, N. Y., July 15.—A grand jJjury from which two members with- drew because of friendship for the Carman family resumed today its de- liberations in the case of Mrs. Flor- ence Carman, held in jail as having fired the shot which Kkilled Mrs. Louise Bailey in Dr. Carman’s offize at Freeport on the night of June 30. It was expected that the jury would complete its work today and that if an indictment were found it would be returned tomorrow: ‘With the resumption of the hear- ing District Attorney Smith an- nounced that he had issued a sub- poena for Mrs. Ellen Corby, a niece of Mrs. Carman. It is understood that she is one of the two women who have been sought since the mur- der as._having been in the doctors ‘waiting room and who fled when they heard the shot fired. Two Witnesses Examincd. The first witness examined today was Henry DeBeau, who testified to seeing Mrs. Bailey going to the Car- man home. . Another witness was Miss Helen Combs, who was in the waiting room when the murder was committed. Letter Made Public. Dr. Carman made public today a letter addressed to his wife from Rochester, N. Y. The writer said he kad shot Mrs. Bailey. He had donned woman’s clothing, he said, as a disguise. The letter was written in what was apparently a disguised hand writing and looked as if it might have been penned by a woman. It was not taken seriously., The story of the negro maid that Mrs. Carman had on a kimono when she saw her run into the kitchen con- tradicts the .account of Elwood Bardes, heretofore the chief witness for the state. Bardes said that the woman he saw had on a white waist. Because of this clash of testimony Bardes, it was said, might not be called before the grand )ury. Tramp Last Witness. 2 The last witness before the jury was Frank J. Farrell, a tramp, who went to the back door of the Carman house on the night of June 30 to ask for food. It is understood that Far- rell’s story corroborated in general the account -given yesterday by Celia Coleman. Mrs. Carman was not called. Her counsel had agreed to waive immunity for her, but in the opinion of the dis- trict attorney it was inexpedient to have her testify. Demand Accused Testify, As soon as District Attorney Smith made it known that he had definitely decided not to call Mrs. Carman be- fore the grand jury her attorney pre- pared a petition asking that body that they demand Mrs. . Carman’s presence on the stand. It was pre- sented to the jury forthwith. The district attorney’s decision was the occasion of a long statement by Dr. Carman. “The district attorney has double crossed me and my wife,” he said. “The day after the dictagraph was discovered in my office, he appeared and told my wife that he was there as a friend—not as an official, and that he would do everything he could for her. He assured her that if she had told him about the telephone device the night of the murder he would have been able to smooth the whole thing over.” Remains to Be Repeated. The testimony of Ellwood T. Bardes, whose statement at the cor- oner’s inquest that he saw a woman walk from the office window to the back of the Carman house just after. the murder shot resulted in Mrs. Car- man being charged with the murder, remains to_be repeated before the grangd jury. District Attorney Smith expected today to close his case before the grand. jury on Friday. More details of the story of the Carmans’ negro maid, Celia Coleman, as told to the grand jury yesterday, became known today. Besides saying that Mrs. Carman had hurried through the kitchen from the back yard immediately after the shot which killed Mrs. Bailey was fired, the girl, it is understood, said Mrs. Carman had on a kimono at the tithe. Mrs. Carman herself has said she wore a kimono, but has insisted that she was in her bedroom. Saw Man’s Cuff. Dr. Carman, who is here, said to- day that he was sure the hand thrust through the window ‘when the shot was fired was a man’s, He recalled, he said, that on the wrist he saw a man’s cuff. Alvah Smiith and: Daniel Raynor, members of the grand jury and close friends of the Carmans, asked to be excused from the jury today. Their request was granted. Their ~with- drawal still left a quorum of grand jurors and the proceedings will not be invalidated. MAYOR QUIGLEY WILL GIVE FIRST CONCERT Next Wednesday Is the Time, Walnut Hill Park the Place and the American Band Entertainers. With the hope that others may see fit to follow his lead, Mayor George A. Quigley will give the first free band concert of the season next Wed- nesday night at Walnut Hill park. The American band has been en- gaged to play. Mayor Quigley has worked hard to secure a series of band concerts for the public and he expects that his efforts will be rewarded. “I'm going to start the ball rolling my- self,” he said today when he an- nounced that he would take the in- itiative. That the free concerts at the park are appreciated is shown by the thousands who attend. Alderman E. W. Christ has been appointed to the citizens committee which is work- ing to induce the manufacturers to stand the expense of more concerts. TROLLEYMEN UPHOLD CO-OPERATIVE PLAN Philadelphia Rapid Transit | Employes Vote to Continue Present System. Philadelphia, July . 15.—Announce- ment was made today that the vote cast yesterday by the motormen and conductors of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company resulted in the men deciding 3,406 to 2,801 to ‘continue for another year the present co- operative plan for which the men deal as individuals with the company rather than through a labor organ- ization. About 6,500 men are in- volved. The co-operative plan, in force here since 1911, is said to be the only one of its kind in the country. The company sets aside 22 per cent. of the gross passenger receipts into a fund from which wages are paid. The wages of the men have been increased since the strike of 1910 from a maximum of 23 cents an hour to a maximum of 30 cents for men in the service five years. The min- imum wage for new men is 25 cents an hour. A feature of the plan is the elee- tion by the men of co-operative committee men who are expected to look after the interests of the mo- tormen and conductors. The Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Reilway Employes is opposed to the co-operative plan, iaking the ground that the men can deal more advantageously with the ccmpany through an organization. SHAMROCK IV READY TO MEET RIVALS Underwriters at Lloyds, England Of- fering Three to One Against American Cup Challenger. Gosport, England, July 16.—Every- thing is ready for the departure on July 18 for the United States of Shamrock IV, Sir Thomas Lipton’s challenger for the America’s cup. Her compasses have been adjusted, her ketchrig, fitted and the steam yacht Erin, also belonging to Sir Thomas, is waiting to convoy her across the Atlantic. “Shamrock IV has done all has been asked of her,” is the word of Charles E. Nicholson, the designer. He admits, however, thac the trial boat was in no way satis- factory as the type of opponent whicn would enable yachtsmen accurately to gauge Shamrock IV's chances of lifting the America’s cup. Underwriters at Lloyds are not so optimistic as Mr. Nicholson concern- ing Shamrock IV’'s chances. Their estimate today was roughly, 3 to 1 against the challenger. In other words, they were issuing policies at a premium of. thirty-five per: cent. to pay the total loss, if Shamrock IV should prove successful. A similar risk in:connection with an aeroplane fight across the Atlantic during the present year is being covered at eighx per cent. The crew of Shamrock IV., num- bering more than thirty men, is to be divided during the voyage across, half of the sailors luxuriating on board the Erin, as far as the Azores and then relieving their shipmates for the remainder of the journey. that final GOING ABROAD. Vice President E. Allen Moore of the Stanley Works, accompanied by his son Allen, is planning a tour of the Continent. He will sail from New York about August 1.

Wakefield, charged with the mur- der of her husband, William, was re- sumed before Judge Joel Reed in the superior court today. There were {four jurors chosen yesterday in a session which lasted from 9:30 in the morning until 6:30 in the even- ing, and only 27 talesmen left of the panel of 71, who had reported in the morning. As there seemed to be a remote possibility only of the remaining eight jurors being se- cured from the panel jury writs were issued for 20 additional men whose names had been drawn by Clerk ‘Wheeler. The four jurors in their seats when court opened were Charles F. Bartholomew, Wallingford, aged 65, business man; Joseph A. Clark, Ansonia, shop employe, aged 55; Geéorge M. Wells, Madison, manufac- turer, aged 62; Henry C. Pickhardt, Meriden, real estate dealer, aged 65. Five More Selected. ‘When court took its noon recess five more jurors had been selected.

GASOLINE CAUSES NOON DAY BLAZE Miss Sophie aged 42, farmer, aged 41, aged 73, carpen- Bergman Slightly Burned While Trying to Extinguish Fire, While cleaning some articles in a bed room with gasoline this forenoon Miss Sophie Bergman, who lives In R. E. Erwin’s house at No. 60 La- fayette street, set the bed clothes on fire and when she attempted to drag them into another room to extinguisn them set fire to the table spread and carpet in that room. Thus there were two fires to extinguish when the de- partment arrived at 11:35 o’clock In response to an alarm from Box 32. The damage is estimated at only about $40. In her desperate attempt to get the burning materials out of the bed room Miss Bergman was slightly burned about the hands. En- gine Companies Nos. 1, 3 and 4 as well as Hook and Ladder company No. 1 responded. The long string of days on which no fires occurred was broken last night at 8:32 o’clock when Engine company No, 6 was called out to ex- tinguish a bonfire at No. 1 Dwight court which had got the best of the people. The firemen were called in to keep the flames from spreading to a nearby lumber yard. VIOLATES TRAFFIC RULE, Mrs, Clarence F. Bennett Is Reportea to Chief By Officer Charles Grace. : ‘According to a report made to Chief Rawlings, of tne police depart- ment, Mrs. C. F. Bennett, wife of Superintendent Bennett of the Stan- ley Works and a well known so- clety woman, violated the traffic rules this morning when she turned down Church street in an automobile on the left side of the roma ana tnen re- fused to answer to Traffic Officer Grace's challenge, The officer followed ner to the de- pot and reminded her of her viola- tion and was informed that he could take the matter up with her husbana. The officer is said to have replied that he would take the matter up with the prosecuting attorney. He then reported the case to Chief Raw- lings in compliance with his duty. OFFICER THROWN OUT. As Officers Frank and James Moore were driving down Sandy Hill, on Allen street, last night a large truck, owned by Silver Brothers of Hartford, frightened their horse ana as a result Joseph was thrown out of the wagon. Frank leaped out and grabbed the horse’s head, succeeding |in holding him in check. The two officers state that the auto passed them at a great speed and the driver did not even slow down when they saw the commotion they were caus- | ing. H. S. FOX CHOSEN ASSISTANT PASTOR Young Man Selected By South Church As Helper for Dr. Hill Howard Stowell Fox, graduate of the University of Michigan in 1911 and of the Andover Theological sem- inary in 1914, has been engaged by the South church of this city as as- sistant to the pastor and director of religious education. In every way Mr. Fox seems suited for the position he will occupy after the first of September. While at the University of Michigan he was very active in Y. M. C. A, work. He fin- ished this June a three years’ course in the Andover Theological seminary in Cambridge, during which time he also studied religious pedagogy in Har- vard university. During his seminary courses he was for two years assist- ant in charge of the Sunday school of the Mount Vernon Congregational church in Boston, and for one year in charge of the Congregational church in Hingham, Mass. He 1is very highly spoken of by President A. P. Fitch of Andover seminary and Rev. J, A. Richards at Mt. Vernon church, Boston, as a man of fine ideals, devotion and capacity for hard work. Mr. Fox is now traveling in Europe, but will return in September and take up his duties at the South church. He will be ordained early in the fall. ISSUES CAUTION FOR USE OF ANTI-TOXINS Sec. Townsend Informs Phy- sicians Appropriation Is About Exhausted. Hartford, July 16.—A. caution to health officers to exercise care in the use of the supply of anti-toxine for free distribution because the appro- priation is about exhausted, is given today by Secretary J. B. Townsend of the state board of heailth, in the June bulletin. After the supply is gone local authorities will have to make provision to supply the needy of their towns. Officers having a surpjus supply are requested to re- turn the same to the secretary. Physicians are also asked to re- port promptly all cases of typhoid fever as well as other reportable dis- eases. One or two cases may not signify much to a physician, but re- ports of half a dosen or eight cases from h&lf a dozen phybiclans may mean to the health department a ser- ious outbreak of typhold fever and will start an inquiry. ‘The vital statistics of greatest con- sequence are not the number of deaths or births, but rather the num- ber of cases of sickness from trans- missible diseases. Dr. Townserid repeats in his bulle- tin the words of caution of Dr. Wright of New Haven on the use of “soft drinks.” Many times these popular drinks are served at public counters in a slack way. “Many of the finest fitted places are care- less about washing glasses and other utensils used for mixing and serv- ing drinks and the water used for this purpose is often very dirty and seldom changed,” said Dr. Wright, who advised the public to Inform themselves as to how and by whom bottled goods are prepared and how soda water Is served: at the public counters. The state’s mortality for June was 1,223, which was 284 less than in May and 185 less than in May of last year. The figure is 32 less than the average for the past five years. ‘WANTS BIGGER BOND.

Stamford, July 15.—Coroner John J. Phelan came here this afternoon from Bridgeport for a conference with State’s Attorney Cummings on what is said to be new evidence in the Ballou case.
