The Daily Mail WOMAN GUARDED BY DOG IS ARRESTED Julia Maude Caughlin Found in Web- ster Hill House, Where She Was Asleep. Laying on the bare floor in a deso- late room in the house at No. 24 Webster Hill, her head pillowed on her coat and guarded by her faithful little fox terrier dog, Julia Maude Caughlan was arrested this afternoon by Officers Fred Wagner and Gus Nelson. 7 F. W. Loomis received an order to remove a stove from the vacant tene- ment where the woman was found and it was he who discovered her and called for the police. When the two officers entered the room the woman was sleeping heavily and it required some effort on their part to arouse her to any semblance of consclous- ness. Her little dog, which lay at her head, put up a furious fight when its mistress was disturbed, and the police had to chase the animal from the house. The woman is apparently drug fiend and is a sister of Mrs. Annie Nash, who is now serving time in jail for a violation of the drug law. The Caughlan woman informed the police that she was sick and had no ptace to go, but when they put her 1In the| patrol she cried that she did not want to be taken to Middletown. a SHJERDEN TO BE TOASTMASTER. | Annual Banquet of Mt.

The report made by me both to the secretary of state of Connecticut and the clerk of the house of representatives showed an expenditure of $500; whereas your re- port showed an aggregate of $1,127.05, and included an expenditure to every town in the district except Bridgeport, Norwalk and Wilton, which comprise about half of the district in popula- tion, and where you make oath that neither in your own name, or in any other, you made no expenditure, con- trary to the actual facts-which will be developed later on. Can Conoceive No Reason. “You claim that I should have re- ported as my own expenditures the expenditures of the committee in charge.of the campaign for the whole state ticket in the fourth district, and that some of the contributions to that committee were'made by corporations. In reply, I would say that I can con- ceive of no more reason why I should clude in my personal report expen- ditures made by this committee for the whole ticket, than that all other candidates for congress in the United States should include the expendi- tures of their respective state commit- tees 1n their personal reports, or that you should include in your report the sum of $2,845 collected and expended by the democratic committee in Bridgeport, where you say you made no contribution or expendi- tures whatever: ““You do not claim that any contri- bution reported by my political agent was made by a corporation, but you intimate that personal contributions to the general campaign funds were from persons holding some official re- lations with corporations, and that, therefore they were improperly made; but you neglect to state that, in the official report of the committee in Bridgeport, where you say you ex- pended nothing, contributions are found from the ‘Conn.

Then follows specific answers to the several paragraphs of the complaint, denial being made that any act was committed that contravened the law. The reply then makes a summary of Mr. Hill's position, referring to the appointment of a congressional cam- paign committee, with Arthur C. ‘Wheeler as treasurer. The summary says: ‘It (the committee) received no money from the state central com- mittee of Connecticut, but, in addition to paying its own expenses within said district, contributed $1,000 to the treasurer of the republican state cen- tral committee, for the legitimate uses of that committee. “Mr. Hill was not responsible for the creation and organization of said committee, and in fact conducted his own campaign as a congressional can- so far as any effort was made in his own behalf, aside from work for the whole ticket.
