I bazes, 106+ 260 TRIES SUICIDE IN ~ RAILROAD STATION. | according to a ruling made by Adju- Other Items of Interest From Various Connecticnt Towns New Haven—What eppears to have’ been an attempt to commit suicide was brought to the attention of the police when Eleanor Bavall, 26, address un- known, was picked up in the women’s room of the railroad station in a semi consclous condition last evening. She was rushed to the New Haven hospi- tal where first aid was administered eand an examination revealed that the young womean had taken some kind of poison. She was first discovered lying on the floor by an 'attendant at the station about 8:30 o'clock. At the hospital she refused to say anything concern- ing her relatives. She stated that she did not have any permanent home but has been traveling in Connecticut and New York. More Enemies. Bridgeport—With the threatened declaration of war by the United States on Austria, approximately 7,000 subjects of the latter country will be thrown into the alien enemy class and will be governed by the same restric- tions now in force over unnaturalized Germans. According to -the actual census compilation of aliens complet- ed in May by Assistant Supt. of Po- lice Charles H. Suckley there were 6,045 Austrian subjects in this city, excluding Slovacks and Slavonians. They were classified as follows: Hun- garians, 4.427; Austrians, 1,144; Lith- uanians, 401, and Bohemians, 73. It is estimated that since the census was compiled that at least 1,000 more than that total have taken abode in the city. Bditor Fined. Hartford—Max Taschenberger, pub- lisher of & German weekly newspaper in Waterbury, which is known as the “‘Beobacke: in English meaning “Ob- server”, told Judge Edwin S. Thomas in the Federal court that he was will- ing to suspend further publication if the court insisted. This, however, the court did not desire to do as Taschen- berger was guilty of only a tecnical violation. He had not filed a transla- tion with the postmaster of articles which were printed in German. His lawyer, Emil Hummel, said for him that Taschenberger had a good rep- utation and had never expressed his opinions on the war. The articles which he failed to. translate for the postmaster had been “clipped” from a large German paper in New York. Judge Thomas disposed of the case by imposing a fine of $20. i No Embargo. New Haven—For the first time in many months there is no embargo of any sort on the New Haven road here. Just how long the situation will last isn't possible to determine, but ofli- cials are highly pleased with the work that has enabled the road to clear up terminals on the New Haven division. Railroad men are bending every effort to keep the traflic moving. The old plan|of running long trains has been abandoned, temporarily at least, much to the improvement of the serv- ice and-the satisfaction of the men. Instead of holding cars up till 100 or more are ready and sending them off in one train, sometimes to be dam- aged by the strain, trains of 25 and 30 cars are sent out instantly they are ready to move. Some Class, This! Thamaston—A. cow belonging to the large herd owned by George P. Bradstreet gave birth to a calf last Sunday morning which, as a member of the freak class, should have been born in Winsted. Practically the only resemblance to a calf was its hoofs and tail, the remainder of its anatomy having more the appearance of an English bulldog. The hair on its back, its legs and especially its head and face looked more llke the features of a dog than of any other animal. It lived only 15 minutes after birth. Murder Charge. Shelton—Among the fifty-nine cases, including several homicides, which are on the docket for the ocriminal session of the superior court in Bridgeport, Judge Gardner Greene presiding, is that of Eugene Gagnon, of this city, who is accused of murder in the first degree. Gagnon is alleged to havo been responsible for the death of Willilam Broad Normanvin, an en- gineer, in the lower White Hills lum- ber camp, Sunday, April 1. GAS MANTLES Upright or Inverted.

GERMAN SPY He Questions Girls About Soldiers And Is Found in Barred Zone New York, Dec. 5.—A man supposed | to be a German spy sent to this coun- | try by the Kaiser's agents in South | America was arrested at the Hotel Majestic yesterday morning by agents of the Department of Justice and in- | terned on Ellis Islad as an alien ene- Five days ago this man ap- | peared at the hotel and registered as | “Dr. Bart Henderson, Managua, Nicar- ' agua.” He spent money freely amd had a German accent. These attri- butes did not attract special atten- tion until it was noticed that he spent | most of his time entertaining women, especially young women. It is reported that upon a tip from one of hi§ guests detectlves of tho Department of Justice were set to watch him. They found that he made a specialty of making the acquaint- ace of young girls with soldier friends. Several of these girls sald *“Dr. Hen- derson” had repeatedly asked them what their soldler acquaintances had told them about when they were going to France, and any other information about military affairs. He gave & number of elaborate parties at Broad- way restaurants and was at the hotel only for sleeping. A Federal officlal was quoted last night as saying that “Dr. Henderson” was set here by Count Luxburg, the German Minister dismissed by Argen- tina, after Secretary Lansing’s disclo- sure of the “sink without trace” notes sent to Berlin through Swedish diplo- matic channels. The Federal officlals refused to divulge what replies the supposed spy made in response to their questioning. United States soldiers on guard at Pler 48, North River, seized a German vesterday who was trying to pass the cordon about the zone forbidden to enemy aliens. On him were found a picture of himself wearing a uniform of the German Army, maps of the wa- terfront, and sketches and plans of several American transports. He is now on Ellis Island, interned for the war. Early yesterday afternoon the soldiers noticed the man trying to get through their line surreptitiously and after a chase they caught him. He was recognized by one infantryman as a man.who had tried to pass him the day before at a pier a few blocks up the river. In response to questions in English, the man professed he could not understand, so a soldier who could speak German questioned him. When asked his business on pier he would not tell. He was asked If he was a German, but had nothing to say. A soldier took him to the office of the United States District Attorney, in the Federal Building. There a search revealed the maps, plans and the pic- ture of himself. According to the As- District Attorney who exiam- incd him, when the asked to tell what he wanted on the dock he replied that to tell that would wet himself as well as others in trou- ble. At first he refused to tell his name, but later gave the name of Ni- chola Allafettic, and said that he lived at 308 Hudson street, Hoboken. It is believed that he is not only a German citizen, but an officer in the German Army. His picture and drawings were taken from him and he was hurried to Ellis Island. A man who appeared to be a Ger- man was seen by a Federal official vesterday in front of the Barge Office on the Battery. When a Federal agent asked him his nationality, he re- plied that he was an Italian. ‘But when he said, upen further question- ing, that he was Lorans Essler, the Uhited States District Atorney ordered him interned on Ellis Island as an enemy alien. Adolph Cadet of 1,000 Kelly street, Bronx, who was convicted last week on a charge of disorderly conduct hy Magistrate Brau in the Morrisania Court and sentenced to the workhouse for thirty davs for seditious utter- ‘ances during the recent political cam- paign, appealed to the Bronx County Court vesterday for a certificate of reasonable doubt. ng the uniform of an army captain, a man giving the name of Albert Wanamaker, who said his ad- dress wvas the Hotel Astor, was ar- raigned before Magistrate Koenig in Yorkville Court yesterday and held in $2,000 bail on a chargé of larceny. Detectives Scott and Coleman, who arrested Wanamaker, told the court that the larceny charge was based on the alleged theft of an automobile owned by Major Brand of the United States Army, from in front of the Cap- itol in Washington early last week. The automoblle, the detectives said, was later sold in this city by Wanama- ker. The detectives also told the Magistrate that they found a .45-cal- iber revolver in the prisoner's room in the hotel, that he had no authority to wear the uniform he had on, and that tho Federal authorities had been noti- fied of the case. REPORTED TO POLICE. Yard Foreman A. T. Bonenfant re- ports that two freight cars were broken into yesterday. The robbers took 100 bars of Fels Naptha soap and 12 cartons of Quaker Oats from one car.

Brand As to Her Good Character New York, Dec. 5.—Except for for- mal approval of a decree, the annul- ment action begun by James Henry Brand, wealthy munitions broker, against Genevieve Florence Hanan Brand, came to a close yesterday when a jury in the Supreme Court decided that when she married the plaintiff she fraudently represented herself to be inexperienced in the ways of the world. These assertions, the jury held and the fact that she had not re- vealed two previous marriages led the broker to make her his wife. The jury's verdict will be submitted to @ Supreme Court Justice who is em- powered to sign the annulment de- cree.
