Reward of $500 for the Detection of the Strangler Cffer- ed by the Mayor of Providence—Governor of Rhode Island to Offer an Additional $500—John O’Brien Taken Into Custody as Suspect. Providence, R. I, May 14, —The mys- tery of the murder of Laura BE. Reg- ester on Reservoir avenue near the Jewish cemetery in Cranston last Monday night, remained unsolved to- night, in spite of active work by the police In running down everything that has seemed to offer a clue to the iden- tity of the murderer, Reward Offered for Strangle A reward of $500 for the degection of the stranglér of the young Woman was offerad today by Mayor Fletcher and it is expected that Governor Po- thier and empleyers of Miss Regester will increase the amount by $600 each. Robbery the Motive. Most of the attention of the police in today's search centered about the discovery that a ring, bracelet and purse which the girl is said to have had with her when she left her home Monday evening to go to try on her Wedding dress at her dressmaker's, are iwissing. Heretofore the police have clung to the opinion that the young woman was killed by some one with whom she was acquainted and that robbery was not the motive, but when it was positively learned today that these trinkets, all of which were gifts from the man she was to marry, could not be found at her home, the case 100k on a new aspect. Suspect O'Brien Locked Up. Late in the afternoon, a suspect, who said he was John O'Brien of Manches- fer, N. H.,, was taken into custody and closely questioned. _Tonight he was still held, though the police did not apparently attach great importance to* bis capture. Police Detectives Summoned to Home of Charles Dougla: Late this evening three police de- tectives went to the home of Charles Douglass, the jeweler to,whom Miss egester was to have bben married. They went in response to a telephone message from Mr. Douglass, who asked that an officer come to see Bim. As his home is in & remote section of the city the officers were not expected to re- port back to headquarters before mid- night, New, Clue—Auburn Man Missing. Providence, R. I, May 1i.—Upon their return frém the home of Doug- lass, shortly before midnight, the po- lice Inspectors said that the dead girl’s family had admitted for the first time that she was acquainted with an Au- burn man who has disappeared and who has been the object of search by the,police for several days. The man disappeared from his boarding house jast Monday morning. According to the police, he is_thought to be either in Haverhill or Chicopee, Mass., where he has friends.

NEW HAVEN ROAD HAD GHANCE To Secure Large Holdings of the Del- aware & Hudson Road. New Haven, May 14.—An important iece of history in connection with the Folding of 110,000 shares of the Bos- ton & Maine Rallroaa Co. is now for the first time disclosed. A considera- ble time ago, when the controversy hetween the New York, New Haven & Hartford Co, and the ‘state of Mas- sachusetts over the holding of the shares was in an acute stage, there came from Harriman interests an un- official prgposition to the Ney Haven company Tooking to a readjustment of the matter. Under the plan proposed the Delaware & Hudson Co. was to take over the 110,000 shares of the Poston & Maine, giving the New Ha- ven company a similar amount of the Delaware & Hudson shares, the New Jiaven company also to acquire addi- tional Delaware & Hudson shares, giv- ing it a large interest, if not control, in the latter corporation. The Dela- ware & Hudson has. connections’ with the Boston & Maine and holds a sachusetts charter, so that its owner- ship of Boston & Maine shares would be beyond the reach of Massachusetts Jaw, though possibly it would have been amenable to the Sherman anti- trust act. A little later the Boston & Maine shares were transterred to the Billard ownership and the Harriman buggestion was left hung up in the air and has never been acted upon. REAR ADMIRAL SWINBURNE HAULS DOWN FLAG TODAY. Rear Admiral Sebree to Assume Com- mand of Pacific Fleet. San Francisco, May 14.—The flag of Rear Admiral Swinburne, commander of the Pacific fleet, will- be hauled down tomorrow on’ the cruiser West Virginia, and Rear Admiral Sebree will assume command with the Ten- nessee as nis flagship. Rear Admiral Barry will succeed Rear Admiral Se- bree as commander of the second di- vision. These changes are consequent upon the retirement of Rear Admiral Swinburne. The first dfvision is scheduled to £ail for Puget sound Monday. It will be followed on May 21 by the second diviston, and all the vessels will re- main in northern” waters during the Alaska-Yukon-Pac¥ic exposition, SHOOTING AFFAIR AT HARTFORD Two Brothers in Hospital Fatally Wounded—Italian Arrested. Hartford, Conn., May 14.—Louls and Joseph Grouty, brothers, were brought 10 the Hartford hospital tonight, suf- fering from shot wounds which will probably prove fatal. Tony Traposso has been identified by Louls as the man who shot him, ain is being held by the police withont bail. Louis Grouty, who is a foreman at the Hartford rubber works, discharg- ed Traposso three weeks ago. To- night the two Grouty brotners and Traposso and another Italian whose name is not known to the police met on Mongan street, and a quarrel fol- lowed. The men’ separated, but met later on Morgan street, renewing the dispute, which ended in Traposso and his companion pulling guns and shoot- ing. Joseph Grouty was shot in the head and his brother was struck by three bullets, one entering a shoulder, another his arm, and the third his abdomen. Traposso was arrested by the police and taken to the hospital, where he was identified by Louls Grouty as the one who had shot him. The Groutys do not know the name of the ot Italian, and Trapohsa refuses to dis- close his identity. — — —— e vabled Paragrapts | Intgrnational ~London, May 14.—Austen Chamber- 74 lain_declared today that there was no truth in the rumors current in the lobbies of the house of commons last night that Joseph, Chamberlain, his father, had suffes @ relapse.

(Special to The Bulletin,) Hartford, May 14—Anybody who thinks that we are back where we were when this public utilities commission matter was reported to the house is wrong. We are nothing of the kind. So far as the judiciary committee is concerned we are a good deal farther along the journey—and we are so far | as the house and senate are concerned. It 1s a great deal plainer just what the sentiment is in both of those bodies than has been the case at any previous | time. And it will take a great deal to make me think that this session is go- ing to pass any utllities bill at all. It may; not for a moment do I mean to assert that it won't.” What I do say is that T think it won't. There is, however, no intention on the part of the opponents of the com- mission to let the matter be killed off in private. It has been suggested that Speaker Banks would probably appoint a_committee of nine from the house who were so largely against the bill that_there, would be no chance to do anything with it. He is very unlikely to do this, In other words, there will be no packed committee against the bill, so far as the house is concerned. lived up to. bedrock of business success. age is the result. much. ined irretrievably. “A square d practical winner. know what is going on it.

Tt will be a short three weeks, too, for the committee will not be an- nounced till next Tuesday, and will take some time to organize and get ready for its hearings. Then the hear- ings must be amssigned and the public | must have time to come to them. It must be remembered on this point that at no time since the discussion of this matter began has there been anyone to accuse the judiclary com- mittee of not having held ample and amply advertised hearings or to assert that there was anybody in the state who would like to come to Hartford to_appear before a committee on this subject who hadn't been here. It wasn't even said that anybody had Ms- covered since the hearings that he would like to appear now where he hadn’t realized this previously and in time to appear before they closed, much less Insinuated that any living soul had been shut out.
