Dr. Arvid Anderson of 15 Walnut street passed away at 2:45 o'clock this afternoon following a week’s ill- ness with pneuymonia, aggravated by a previous illness with the grip. While Dr. Anderson’s condition had been known to have been critical all the week and hqpes for his recovery were not at any time bright, the news of his death has come as a shock and has cast a profound gloom over the professional men about the city as well as his numerous friends. The funeral arrangements have not.been completed. In City 25 Years. Dr. Anderson was one New Britain's leading physicians, having practiced medicine here for the past quarter of a century. Yet he was not an old man, being but 52 years of age. He was regarded as a skillful practitioner by others of his profes- sion, a faithful and conscientioug doc- tor and a true friend by all® who knew him either in a professional, business or private way. Born in Sweden, Dr. Anderson was educated in the schools of his native country and was graduated from the University of Lund. He then came to the United States where he entered the University of Michigan and was | sraduated ffom the medical depart- ment. Later he returned to Europe and studled for two years in the lead- ing hospitals and under the most fa- mous surgeons and doctors. He studied among other places at Berlin and Vienna. Upon his return to America Dr. Anderson first went to New Haven where he opened an of- fice and practiced for about three months, leaving the Elm City twenty- five years ago to come to New Britain where he has practiced continually with'the exception of the periods dur- ing which he made several trips abroad. of Was Skillful Surgeon. As well as being a member of the New Britain Medical association, the Hartford County Medical association and the Connecticut Medical associa- tion, Dr. Anderson was a member of the American Medical association and He was ever a man of quiet habits :md very modest and unassuming. Al-‘ though he was regarded by the medi- cal profession as being a surgcon of more than ordinary skill and per- farmed, possibly, as many or more operations than any other local sur- geon, he seldom permitted his asso- ciation with a case to become public, He shunned publicity and was alwa: content to know that he did his work well and was appreclated. Generous, too, ‘was Dr. Andersan. Many of/the poor families about New Britain have reason to remember him for this reason and he was the attendant at the Children's Home, giving his ser- vices gratis. It is said by those who knew him that his efforts in a case where no fee was to be forthcoming were just as conscientious as when treating his most wealthy patient.

Although suf- | fering from a hard cold, which later developed into the grip, the physician struggled daily to attend to his numer- ous patients, many of whonf were critically ill at the time. He managed | to attend to his large practice until about twa weeks ago when, visiting| i cne of the city officials who is ill, he | collapsed. Although he was given | prompt and herolc treatment the grip refused to yield to treatment and a { week ago today pneumonia developed, ! ¢ne lung being affected.

Eben Reeks, a close personal | ! friend of Drs Anderson, had been | watching at-the bedside of his friend | far the past few nights and last night, after a consultation of physicians, it was thought that a transfusion of | blood might enhance the patient's| of recovery. Accordingly at this xnmnln;: a call was and nurses nd one orderly from the New Britain General hospital left their beds, hur- riedly dressed and rushed to Dr. An- | derson’s residence to offer their ser- cgs as subjects. Several other . people likewise offered themselves to the doctors. Each of the subjects were examined by the physicians and while each was willing to make the sacrifice of giving a quart of their blood the transfusion was finally aban- doned by the attending physicians, The fact that these busy hospital nurses and others, all in the vigor of full strencth, were willing to sac- rifice their time, their strength, even their own/life blaod in order to aid Dr. Anderson was a very fine thing and speaks more eloguently than words of | the love they all bore to the doctor. ‘ 'n public life Dr. Anderson was | Dr. {Continued on Tenth Page) | until forty-eight hours after 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL DIED IN BUGGY And Young Farmer is Found Guilty of Manslaughter By Court In Illinois, Olney, Illinois, Jan. 10.—Thc jur: the trial of Roy Hintérliter, farmer, for the murder of I Ratcliffe his seventeen year old sweet= heart, returned a verdict of man- slavghter carly today after having re- | ported to the court three timcs for in- struction during the early morning | hours. | The punishment may be from one ! year to life imprisonment in the peni- ! tentiary.

Washington, Jan. 10.—Woman suf- fragists today began their “s!lent pick- eting” of the White House. Twelve women from the Congressionil Union ok Woman Suffrage appeared at the two main gates of the White House grounds carrying suffrage banners in- seribed: ““Mr. President. what will you | do for woman suffrage.” | White House officials said nothing | would be done about it 30 long as the , women created no disturbance or at- tempted to enter the White House. Each of the women wore a white, purple and yellow sash across her shoulders. Thelr banners could be read for more than a block. The suffrage leaders announced that | the picketing would be maintained each day. The ‘silent sentinels” will be relieved every three hours. The announced purpose of the picketing is to maks It impossible for President Wilson to enter or leave the White House without being confronted with reminders of the suffrage cause. Just before the pickets appeared this nrorning the president went out to play golf. When he returned from the golf links he smiled as his automo- ! bile passed through a gate flanked by the silent sentinels. Six Comanche Indians from Okla- homa arrived at the White House while the suffragists were on guard. They stopped and viewed them with silent wonder.

Cody, ‘‘Buffalo Bill" hunter, soldier, scout and showman was for many years known to near! every man, woman, boy and girl n‘ America through his wild west show with which he toured this' country and Europe. He was a picturesque type of the pioneer frontiersman and lived to see large cities built where he once hunted buffalo and fought in- dians. Col. William F. Cody was born n Scott County, lowa, February 26, 1846. His ancestral stock was Span- ish, English and Irish. His parents moved west and took up a claim near Leavensworth, Kansas, then a fron- tier Indian post, when Cody was flve years old. At ten years of age he found himself the head of the fam- ily owing to the death of his father who was killed in an encounter grow- ing out of a dispute over the negra slave® question. Young Cody's first employment was as_a courier be- tween the Missouri river and the Rocky mountains. In ‘turn he be- came wagon master, trapper, hunter, pony express rider and stage coach driver, all giving a varied experience in a school, the graduation from which left the scholar an adept in every possible line of frontier activ- ity. In exciting expérience in the Union army as a soldier and subscquently as a confident and scout of his com- manders in the desultory and gueril- Ja warfare of the southwest left him at its finish well known as an all around frontiersman, competent to advise, to guide and to lead. These qualities soon brought him to the at- of such distinguished com- as Gen. W. T. Sherman, Lieut.-Gen. Phil Sheridan and Gen- erals Crook, Custer, Merritt, Carr, Royal, Miles.

During the construction of the Union Pacific railroad Young Cody attached himself to a camp of United States troops protecting the laborers and won his sobriquet of ‘Buffalo Bill” by taking a contract to supply the entire force with fresh Buffalo meat for a certan period killing under one contract 4.280 buffaloes. On one occasion he killed the noted Cheyenne Chief Yellow Hand in the presence of Indians and troops. He became known to juvenile America in the stories of western ad- venture written by E. A. C.

SEVERAL WITNESSED KILLING OF MODEL Detectives Claim More Than One Took Part in Killing May Be Plot Result. Philadelphia, Jan. 10.—Detectives working to clear up the mystery sur- rounding the murder in her apart- ments here of Mazie Colbert, the advertising art’ model, advanced the theor‘,\' today that one person and possibly two, besides the girl and her slayer, were in the room when the crime was committed. While they still adhere to their belief that Bernard W. Lewis of Pittsburgh who commit- ted suicide in Atlantic City last | Thursday nicht, beat Miss Colbert and afterward strangled her to death | with a silk stocking the police say that diserepancies as to the time the model was last known to be alive and the time Lewis was seen in a | Market street haberdashery has led | to the supposition that there was at| least one eve witness to the murder. The theory again is engaging the attention of the detectives that black- mail was the motlve for the crime. Captain Tate, of the Philadelphia de- ective bureau declared that he learned the details of a blackmailing | plot carried out in this city & year ago by men acquainted with Miss | Colbert and that he is investigating the alleged plot to see if it had any connecton with the Colbert murder. The victim of the plot, he added, lives in a town upstate and has been | summoned to City hall. Startling Developments Promised. John Colbert, a brother of the model, said he expected startling de- vélopments in the case today. "At least four wealthy and prominent business men’ he said, “will be ques- tioned at the district attorney's office and we expect to learn somethng im- portant.” 1 Oscar Erown, a dctective. sent to Rome, N.
