"PARDONED SOLDIER IN IRONS AT WINDSOR }Imd Rhodes Fails to Locate Family and Attempts Suicide. Former Quartermaster Sergeant Al- fred Rhodes of Company C, Ninth In- fantry, U. 8. A, who passed through New Britain Wednesday on his way from the federal prison at Alcatraz gsland, outside of San Francisco Bay, to South Windsor where he hoped to find his wife and son, who is said to be studying for the priesthood, ap- parently failed to lacate his family, Ifor advices from Windsor today give the information that he is in the hands of the police and that he tried to hang himself. ¢y Rhodes was pardoned by President Wilsan November 5, 1914, for killing a Filipino general who had sworn al- legiance to the United States, for which he was sentenced to fifty years in prison in 1903 by a court martial. Rhodes was one of four survivors of a Filipino massacre for which the Fil- ipino, General Alengo Seivo, had been respousible, and his act was said to be duc to a hatred for all Filipinos. IHe was arrcsted yesterday afternoon Jn Windsor Deputy Sheriff Edson A. Weich while acting in a suspicious manner on Raiiroad street. His case was luter diagnosed as delirium tre. racns. When put in the cell able and t hanging. He wound his sus- ound his neck and then tied the cell door. When dis- i, he tore off his shirt and pinned his teeth on the deputy sher- iff’s hand. The former army man raved and tore in his cell and it was necessary to keep a watch on him and give him medicine every hour until late in the evening. Constable Maurice Ken- nedy was called to assist Deputy Sher- iff Welch in the vigil and the howls f the man attracted the attention of persons within several blacks of the police station. During his de- lirious moments he would tell of the act which resulted in his sentence to long imprisonment. His condition at these times was pitiful, as the man would cry and shake like a leaf. The crime far which he was sen- tenced took place about eleven years 0. Sergeant Rhodes was on guard uty.

In the melee he struck the general over the head with the butt of his gun, fracturing his skull. The former Tilipino officer died and Rhodes was arrested and court mar- tialed. CARPATHIAN FIGHTING LIKE SIEGE WARFARE Over 200,000 Men Fighting Hand to Hand Since Feb. 18 Without Making Any Advance. Geneva, Feb. 26, Via Paris, 5:15 a. m.—The fighting in the Carpathian Mountains between Russians and Ger- mans and Austrians is becoming rap- idly very much like siege warfare, ac- cording te despatches reaching Ge- neva from points near the line of bat- tle. These messages declare that since February 18 over 200,000 men have been fighting hand to hand in the Carpathian trenches without making any material advance. The wounded are pouring into Ungvar and Eper- ies, in Hungary. During the night of Friday, February 19, taking ad- vantage of a lull in hostilities, the Austrians picked up at Swidnik 8,- 600 wounded men and over 000 dead. The wounded had been lying on the ground, some of them, 'for 18 hours without food ar succor. A department is authority mate that seventy per cent. of them ! will be invalids for life. A ma- | pority of the men at Swidnik were | wounded in the head by blows,from | rifle butts, and twenty per cent. of| them will be either partially or to- tally blind. for the esti- FRENCH CLUB TO MEET., The French Naturalization club will hold a ladies’ night at their meet- ing in St. Jean Baptiste hall Sunday, TFebruary 28, at 8 p. m.
