W. Gregory, spe- cla] assistant in charge of the case. The conference was requested by President Hustis of the New Haven, who telegraphed Attorney General McReynolds today, asking if a com- mittee of New Haven directors would be received. The telegram contained no explanation of what plan of solu- tion might be offered. Department officials did not under- stand what plans the New Haven directors might have, but it was gen- erally believed unless the conference developed a way out of the difficulties, acceptable to the government, an an- ti-trust suit to disselve the New Ha- ven would be filed in the United States district court, southern dis- trict of New York by the middle of the week.

Because Charles F. Becker, of Hartford, failed to give the prope: traffic signals and did not observe board Traffic Officer Malone, stationed at the junction of Main, Arch, Wal- nut and Chestnut streets, this after- noon stopped him. the Hartford man for his negligence Officer Malone asked him®to produce his operator’'s license. Becker made a pretense of diving into his pocket for his license and then exhibited a ‘license. When the officer inspected the pasteboard, however, he saw that it was a year old, the man from the capitol city trying to use a 1913 license instead of the required 1914 license. Accordingly he brought him to po- lice headiquarters and a complaint of driving without a license was ! lodged against him. He will be given a hearing in the police court Mon- day morning. Becker is a Hartford civil engi- neer and is well known in that city. PREDICT SETTLEMENT ~ OF IRISH QUESTION King George Halts Visit to Fleet to Await Qutcome of Conference. j London, July 18.—King George, who has been making great efforts to bring about a settlement of the Irish home rule crisis, decided this morn- ing to postpone until later in the day his proposed visit to the great British fleet now lying at Spithead. His reason for this step was that he might be on hand in London to re- ccive early reports of developments in the conferences going on between the than when the opportune moment ar- rives his majesty will throw his in- fluence toward the side looking for an amicable settlement. The belief prevails generally that such a settlement is not far off and the Liverpool Post, one of the best informed newspapers on the govern- ment side, goes so far as to say: “There is really an arranged settle- ment of the Irish question. Details have yet to be adjusted, but the broad facts can be regarded as fixed.” Other authorities do not go quite so far but satisfy themselves with the statement: ‘‘There is a near approach to a settlement.” The government is believed to have offered ‘the unionists in case they agree to abandon their demand for a “clean cut” of the province of Ulster out of the operations of the Irish home rule bill, to arrange that the whole of Ulster with -the exception of the County of Tyrone, which has a great Catholic majority, should vote as a single entity on the question of ex- | clusion from the home rule govern- ment. The unionists demand that Tyrone { shall be included in this arrangement and this has been the cause of the deadlock. Premier Asquith and Augustine Bir- rell, secretary of state for Ireland, who are carrying on the negotiations on behalf of the cabinet, have re- mained in town for the week end. The premier today had another audi- ence with the king, byt the rest of the cabinet ministers scattered over the country for their weekly holiday. TROUPE EXPLAINS ALLEGED ASSAULT Church Street Restaurant Claims Bidwell Threatened Him With Knife. John 8. Troupe, proprietor of a Church street restaurant, wishes to reply to an article which appeared in the papers against him. He states that each and every item is false with the exception of the hitting the said Mr. Bidwell, and this, says, was in self ‘defense. He asserts that Bidwell grabbed a case Kknife and he thought he was going to use it on him. Furthermore Mft. Troupe would like to state that the articles he he thinks, printed through the efforts of friends of Bidwell who were sore feed at midnight would not be tinued. Mr. Troupe states that ment in question was caused by | degraded way in which Bidwell lowed things to go during his sence. On this same night, he de- clares, Bidwell allowed one of his oWwn kind to take a pitcher from the back kitchen and rush the. growler which the help, as well as the pubiic, knows the proprietor does not per- mit.

STATEMENT ISSUED BY ACCUSED Woman Held for Manslaughter Says That It Is Not True That She Is “Insanely Jealous, as the News- papers Led People to Believe.” N. Y., July 18.—Lewis J. Smith, the district attorney whox | prosecuted the case against Mrs. | | Florence Carman for the death of | | Mrs. Louise Bailey, shot in Dr. Car- | : man's office, left the county seat for ! | a rest today after announcing that | | he had not abandoned all hope that | the grand jury would in the near fu- iturp return a first degree murder in- dictment against Mrs, Carman. Yes- | terday Mrs. Carman pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging man- slaughter in the first degree and is now at liberty under $20,000 bail. Mrs. Carman remained secluded in | her home today, preparatory to tak- ing a long automobile trip to recuper- ate, With Freeport, i her husband, Dr. Ea- iwin Carman, and daughter Eliza- | beth, Mrs. Carman planneda to | start today or tomorrow on an auto- mobile tour to Philadelphia, Atlantic City and the Delaware Water Gap. The Carmans expected to be gone about a month, spending a part of the time con their farm near the Del- aware Water Gap. No Doubt of Acguittal. In a statement Mrs. Carman told for the first time her story—the story she sought to tell the Nassau county grand jury, but which that | body refused to hear. This she de-.| clared was unfair. The statement besides detailing her movements on the night of the murder of Mrs. Bailey in her husband’s office con- tains a denunciation of the detectives employed by the district attorney, iand a declaration that she has no doubt of acquittal ‘‘unless they frame | | me up.” | Not Insanely Jcaloug. Mrs. Carman in the statement said that it was not true that . she was “insanely jealous, as the newspapers 1ed” peopréto- belteve™ " She explatned |- she was merely curious, saying that | “‘the fact of the matter is that I had ; been on numerous occaslons with my | husband at various affairs, and had many a good time with him.

The bill also provides for the estab- lishment of a fund to assist emi- | grants in Russian ports and abroad | and for the appointment of a special commission to defend their interests ! ‘1n foreign countries. | Emigration agents by one clause of the bill are made liable to imprison- ment for holding out false induce- ments to emigrants.

'SHARES HIS SORROWS WITH LITTLE KITTEN Runaway from the Reform School Gives Himself Up to Officer. Nestled up closely to a little white kitten, Edward Allen, a fourteen vears old boy, whose home is in Meri- den but who has been an inmate at thd State Reform School for Boys in Meriden and who escaped from that institution yesterday, spent the night sleeping in.an old barn in this city. The boy shared his childlike sorrows with the little kitten, his sole com- panion, and this morning decided that it would be better to give himself up to the authorities, Accordingly when Officer Patrick Howley was returning home from his night's work at & o'clock this morning he was accosted by the little fellow who informed him that he was | the missing boy who ran away from He was taken to /recevvine the school yesterday. ‘the—polee-station and-wpon the information the Meriden authori- ties came to this city and took him back. By giving himself up voluntar- ily Allen stands a better chance of not being so severely punished for his’ running away. The little fellow, while he is four- teen years old, looks no more than | twelve. He is a bright appearing boy and seems quite intelligent. He told the police that his running away was induced by the best of motives. He says that his poor mother is sick at her home in Bridgeport and he thought that if he could get away from the industrial school and obtain employment he would be able to pro- vide some needed money for her. He came to this city and sought employ- ment. Falling in that he wandered around until night fell, when he sought shelter in an old barn. The little cat soon strayed in and the two struck up a warm friendship and they slept through the night cuddled closely together, the homeless little boy sharing his sorrows with ..the homeless kitten {“IT WAS FRAME UP,” SAYS EDITOR JONES Iakeville Newspaperman Aroused Over Being Fined for Auto Accl@ent tn Hartford, 18.—Benjamin D. editor of the Hartford, July Jones of Lakeville, Lakeville Journal, ran afoul of trouble in Hartford this morning while on an automobile trip from his home to Springfield, when he was arrested and haled into police court, following an accident in which Mr. | Jones’ machine collided with Michael Mullen, a bicyclist.

ALSO IN TOUCH WiTH ZAPATA Gen. Villa Heartily Favors the Pro- ject That Mexico Be noprewnwd? iua at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. —Huerta to Sail For Germany? ‘Washington, July 18.—Efforts aimed at restoration of peace in Mexico were redoubled today by adminis- tration officials. They were in direct communication with Carranza, chief of the victorious constitutionalists, urging him to proclaim general amnesty for political offenders and in touch with Zapata, the southern rebel, whose for- ces frequently have appeared almost at the gates of the capitol. It was hoped to bring Zapata into harmony with the peace program which con- templates the quiet transfer of power tfrom Francisco Carbajal, Huerta's successor, to the constitutionalists. While Carbajal has indicated the wish that amnesty be declared by Carranza, some constitutionalists said they gathered from an estimate of the rersonnel of the commission sent from Mexico City to discuss terms for the transfer of power that the new provisional president was ready un- conditionally to surrender. The com- missioners, it was declared, were en- tirely friendly to the constitutionalist cause, It was expected they wouwld reach Guadalajara early next week. Their first interview probably would be with General Alvaro Obregon, whose revolutionary forces recently captured the big southern city. Washington Oflicials Confident. Administration officers were confi- dent that the various Mexican factions would soon reach an agreement that would result in the establishment of a government that would attract gen- eral recognition. They were predict- ing the practical restoration of peace in Mexico within the next two weeks. With the return to normal condi- tions, it was expected that Americans engaged in Mexican enterprises soon would go back to their various flelds. i Villa Offers Guarantee. General Villa communicated with | the state department today offering a guarantee for the protection of the lives and property of Americans and other foreigners along the border in the states where he is in power. Con- sul Edwards at El Paso, has received word that Palomas has not fallen. Only a small band of robbers took part in the battle. The constitutionalists hold the city. Deserts Huerta Garrison. El Paso, Tex., July .18.—General Villa received word last night in Juarez from Zacatecas that General Pascual Orozco, leader of the fed- eral irregulars, had deserted the Huerta garrison in San Luis Potosi, taking with him his brigade of 4,- 000 men. It was reported that Gen- eral Orozco fled into the mountains declaring he would never submit to the constitutionalists. Next to Huerta, Orozco probably is most hated by the constitutionalists as he was the first of Madero’s lead- ers to turn against him. The sol- diers he led in the revolution never have been given quarter when cap- tured by the constitutionalists. Villa Favors Participation. Mexico will participate in the Pan- ama-Pacific exposition in San Fran- cisco next year if the influence of General Villa can accomplish that end. “I am highly in favor of my coun- \try being represented at the exposi- tion,” said General Villa today at Juarez, “and 1 will use all the in- fluence at my command to see that Mexico takes part in it.” General Villa expressed himself as anxious to show the United States that the constitutionalists appreciate this country’s attitude in the recent struggle, adding that he thought Mex- ico’s participation in the exposition would be a concrete evidence of ap- preciation. Petition Col. Murieta. Women of prominent- families re- cently petitioned Col. Murieta, con- stitutionalist commander, to give the church to the public for a primary school. Murieta answered that he would not permit the building to be used for any purpose other thar as a barracks, nor will the priest be per- mitted to return to Nuevo Laredo. Catholic residents, therefore, are without religious services, except such as they can obtain by priests on the American side of the river, To Sail on Dresden. Puerto, Mexico, Mex., July 18.—It was announced today that General Huerta had decided to depart from this port on the German cruiser Dres- den, General Blanquet alone accom- panying him on the vessel. 1t is understood that the Dresden will proceed to Jamaica but this has ot been officially announced. None of the refugees will be ac- commodated on board the British cruiser Bristol, which had been utilized as a refuge by many of the fugitives here. forces still REVOLTING PICTURE ORDERED REMOVED Theater Manager Was Displaying Supposed Picture of Hans Schmidt Murder. While making a tour of the city today Detective-Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth noticed a large picture sus- pended over the entrance of the Bi- Jou theater which at once attracted his attention because of its loath- someness. Upon his advice Chief Rawlings visited the scene and one look was good enough fecr him. He ordered the manager to take it down and gave him fifteen’ minutes in which te complete the operation. He was obeyed to the letter. “This picture was one of the most revolting ones that I ever saw pub- licly displayed,” says the chief. “It was a large colored picture repre- senting the murder and dissection of Anna Aumueller, the New York girl, who was foully murdered by Hans Schmidt. The picture displayed de- picted the dead girl lying on a couch with the priest at her side and a saw in his hand. He had just fin- ished cutting off one of her legs, and the picture was gory in the’ ex- treme.” MAYOR PROBES FAILURE 10 HOLD WOMAN AUTOIST | Inspirer By Herald Article, He Investigates at Police Headquafizrs. Mayor George A. Quigley pald a visit to police headquarters today as a result of the article in last evening's Herald, which told of the immunity from arrest of Mrs. C. F. Bennett for violating a traffic rule Wednes- ! qay. Rumors are rife regarding what Mayor Quigley said at headquarters, but he held a conversation Chairman J. R. Andrews of the board of public safety. with Supernumerary Officer Charles Grace, who reported Mrs. Bennett's violation of the traffic law. Besides this Mayor Quigley talked with traf- fic officers and questioned them re- garding their duty. “I don’t wish to make any com- ment at this time regarding my visit to police headquarters,” ley said later- in - the day. “I sim- ply talked with the chairman of the safety board and with policemen.” Asked if the matter would be pushed any further Mayor Quigley replied: “I would not be surprisd if it was.” He declined to state just what he meant. The article in the Herald last even- ing was universally endorsed. The public unanimously agreed that no favoritism should be shown in up- holding the law. In this Mayor Quigley agrees as he says, that no im- munity from arrest will be accorded those who break laws during his ad- ministration if he knows about it. Although he did not say so, it is said that Mayor Quigley agrees that the Herald’s article was just and fair. It 1s also sald that he intends to investigate the matter thoroughly. MAY INTERVENE IN NEW HAVEN CASE Rumored Massachusetts Will Ask Court to Force Road to Sell Its Boston and Maine Stock. Washington, July 18.—The New Haven rallroad case assumed a new aspect today when Tt became known here that the state of Massachuseits may seek to Intervene after the gov- ernment’s Sherman law suit to dis- solve that system I8 brought, and ask the courts to force the New Haven to make a conditional sale of its Boston and Maine stock. Massachu- setts now has the right to buy the stock at any time. In recent legisla- tion it preserved that right but gave permission to the New Haven to sell. The New Haven board of directors refused to accept that legislation, and now Massachusetts is understood to be fearful lest that right be endangered in the proposed litigation, 1t is feared that if the government wins its case the court might mere- ly order the sale of the New Haven's Boston and Maine stock without re- striction, If Massachusets intervened it would be merely for the purpose of preserving its right of purchase. Attorney General McReynolds, it was believed here, will not object. Plans for the government's anti-trust suit reached the stage today where the brief in the New Haven case was practically ready for filing. SHOT AND KILLED.
