This is not quite according to the plan , mapped out for the Reds and Blues, out was to be expected, for the New York and New England Raliroad through Hawieyville affords a key to the entire tituation, If the Reds capture the railroad they will have access to Dan- bury, the Blue base of supplies, and will virtually be in possession of New ‘York. | The general engagement will have its| ellmax in a grand assault by the Red) ‘army to-morrow against the strongly | intrenched centre of the Blue forces) ‘on the ridges of Newtown and Redding. | Practically all the 2,00 soldiers, who | have been in training for a week in) this war, will be thrown into the con- fijct, Never before in this country have 80 Many men been used In mimic battle, ‘The plan of the Reds in this main attack will be to. march on Brewal N. Y., there to make a demonstration against the New York watershed, West Point and New York ity itself. The preliminary flanking movements, which have turned the Blues out of position after position, have had the effect of forcing the direction of the Rede slightly to the northward, BLUE OEFENDERS FOIL THE) INVADING ARMY. ‘The general engagement was begun this morning when Gen.

Mills decided to con- eentrate all his efforts to stop any at tack the Reds ht make along his front.

In @irect violation of one of the rules established by Governor Hughes which has become part of the Penal Code of this State, without consulting the Dis- trict-Attorney's office or any of the Jus- tices of Special Sessions, Governor Dix lopped off about seven months of a year's sentence imposed upon Marie Chapelle, proprietress of a notorious dis- orderly resort on Macdougal street, which has been a storm centre in vic crusades for many year The District-Attorney’s office has be- gun an investigation of the pardon, It was stated by a member of Mr. Whit- mai aff to-day that Governor Dix had been hoodwinked. It has also been stated to a member of Mr. Whitman's staff that the woman boasted before she was sent away that she would soon get out of prison, Special Graft Investi- gator Buckner, employed by the Alder- mante committee, will join the District- Attorney's office in the investigation. The anti-vice society which alded Inspector Daly in his prosecution of Marie Chapelle only recently learned of the pardon, though the woman was freed from prison by the Governor on July 81. A letter demanding infor- mation from John A. Waldron, Pardon Clerk at Albany, has not been an- swered, Mr. Whitman and the District- Attorney's staff were not even notified that @ pardon had been sought, nor were Justices Collin, O'Keefe and Sul- mon, who sentenced her, appealed to for information about the case. The prosecutors of the woman say they can- not understand the State Executive's disregard of the rule governing pardons, which reads: “Except for very cogent reasons, cases of sentences imposed by courts of Spe- clal Sessions, or of sentences to Im- prisonment for a term not exceeding one year, or applications for remissions of fines, will not be considered.” LONG RAID RECORD OF HOUSE IN CASE.

Later sentenced to thirty days. May 27, 1912, Marte Chapel! enced one year for maintaining dis- orderly house. Marie Chapelle then pleaded guilty to maintaining the “Brick House” as a public nuisance, Sentence on the later charge suspended. Mar‘e Boyd, indicted joinuy with Marie Chapelle, sentenced to 30 days, JUDGES COULD FIND GROUND FOR CLEMENCY. The Justices of Spectal Sessions after Investigating the facts of Marle Chapelle’s career and the circums:anc of her last arrest could find absolutely no ground for clemency. An officer of the anti-vice society, which assisted the police in the prosecution of she woman, wrote to Pardon Clerk Waldron at Al- bany on Aug. 10 the following letter: “I am advived by the District-At- torneyfs office here that they were not consulted in this matter usual and customary, and will you be so good to furnish me with the reason this pardon was granted, “This woman Was a notorious disor- deriy-house keeper and conducted her premises for years, In spite of the conviction of her employees, the nuls- ‘ance was not abated and it was only reat deal of conscientious work certain police ofMcials and the District-Attorney’s office tha: she herself was convicted and the sen- tence given because of the flagrant character of the violatton. “Tt is a great surprise to hear that she has been pardoned. I will be much. obliged if you will be 80 good as to furnish me with the facts,’ NO ALBANY, Aug. 16.—John A, Mason, the Governor's secretary, sald this a ternoon that Marie Chapelle w: doned on the representation of rel that she was dying of an incurable di e They did not want her ¢o di within prison walls and agreed to send her to her former home in France if released.

John Cook, twenty-six yoars olf, an | elevator operator in the branch office of Frederick Stearns & Co, at No, 108 John street, was killed to-day in one of the most inexplicable elevator accl- dents that has ever occurred in this city. He was dead when discovered | His neck had been broken when caught | between the steel door and the frame of the door on the sixth floor of the| building as the elevator was descend: ing. Just what compelled Cook, who, was @ thoroughly reliable young man, | to thrust his head out as the car was descending and why the door closed on it Is @ mystery that remain unex- piained to the members of the firm, Cook, who been with the firm, who | are manufacturing pharmacists, for several years, was the only inmate ot the bullding allowed to operate the « vator, which !s usod for both passengers | and freight. Its motive power is elec- tricity, and it is operated by a hand lever at the side. The business of the company occuples the entire sixth floor of the building. The offices are on the second floor, the most of the rer floors being used as stock rooms. are about twenty-five employees in the bullding, some of them women and xiris, The discovery of Cook's dead poly was made through the ringing of the bell. E. B. Skinner, one cf the heads of the departments, whose | office is on the second fluor, was at- tracted by the constant ringing of the elevator bell. It kept up until he won- dered why Cook wasn't on the job. He went to the elevator shaft on the ses- ond floor and called to him, but re- ceived no answer and the bell kept on |ringing. He looked up the shi a saw that the elevator was ap stopped between whe sixth and fift floors. Scenting something unusual, he called to John Knight, another employee of the company, and they started up the stairs to the sixth floor. As they turned around to the front part of the hall) they stopped horrified at the sight of Cook's head as it stuck out from the shaft, the heavy door crushing his neck and hiding the rest of his body. | When Skinner and Knight back the heavy door they saw that| Cook’s feet were just touching the| floor of the car, and his hand was stil! convulsively clutching the lever. To turn off the current had probably been the last act of his life. Sktnner and Knight managed to carry Cook's body from the car. The firm heads immediately telephoned to the po- lice and summoned an ambulance from York Hospital, As soon as the hed the street great crowds! collected in front of the building, and the rumor spread that Cook was sttll alive, but was slowly being strangled to death, the police being unabie to ex- tracate him. It was necessary to send for the reserves from the Old Slip sta- tion to handle the crowds.
