Mats Landino, N. J., Juno 2. The
hearing of a J1C.000 damage suit of Prof.
I. Woodbrldge Hlley of.Vassar College
against Dr. Ktncry Man-tl of Atlantic
City was opened this morning In tho
court of Common l'leas before Judge Cole.
The plaintiff alleges that Dr. Marvel,
through carelessness, left it six Inch rub
ber drain in the neck of his daughter
Kutherlne, 0 yearn old, following an op
eration performed In tho doctor's sani
tarium In Atlnntlc City.
Testimony tended to show that Mrs.
Hlley, under ndvlce of a physician, had
taken her little daughter, who was suffer
ing from tubercular glands in tho neck,
to Atlantic City and placed her In the
cute of Dr. Marvel. It finally developed
that an operntlon was necessary nnd one
was performed. Following tho operation
a rubber drain six Inches long and n
half Inch wide, which had been placed
fn her neck, could not be found by the
surgeon after search had been made.
Tho child failed to improvo nnd Inter
was taken to the Massachusetts coast.
There the child failed to Improve nnd Dr.
Penrose was called. After an examina
tion he discovered the rubber drain nnd
removed it. Tho child then began to Im
prove imuudlntcly. The platntlfT's lawyers
rested their cose late this nfternoon.
To-morrow tho defence will open nnd u
vigorous denial of any net of carelessness
or neglect upon tho part of Dr. Marvel
will bo made.

Inquiry yesterday for the "boss" Mrs.

"This is William," came a muffled voice,
evidently from a safe dlstanae. "I Want
to apologizo for what I did to some suf
fragette on Saturday."
"Don't you want local headquarters?"
asked Mrs. Dennett, hopefully,
"You're tho party I want, all right," the
voice went on. "I tooted my horn while
I was going past a suffrage meeting In

Unlntrhe HnoU. Hour una WnkrliN
Master In llurnlnic llnusr.
Soutihngton, Conn., June 2. Happy,
tho children's canine playmate, sounded
a fire alarm early to-day In the home of
Itobcrt Grahum, who lives on Queen
street, and after saving tho family hu kept
faithful guard all day over the ruins of
the homestead, refusing to permit out
siders to approach within fifty feel.
When thu lire started, from an unknotvn
cause, Happy was on the back porch. He
unlatched the unlocked back door, ran tu
the bedroom of his master and pulled the
clothes from tho 'bed. The ten other oc
cupants of the house were In turn aroused
by Mr. Graham, some getting out with
narrow escapes from suffocation.
PLACES DYNAMITE IN
CAPITAL BUILDING
Wntchmnn Starts Tanic, and
When Caught Says He
Tried to Win tflory.
GOES TO JAIL INSTEAD
After Confession, Tolico Find
' Explosivo in Agriculture
Department.
Washington, June 2. Daniel Vinton
Jnuch, a watchmnn In tho Department of
Agriculture, tried a short cut to fame and
fortune to-dny nnd failed.
He tried It by attempting to save the
acting Secretary of Agrlculturo and the
hundreds of employees In that Department
from n threatened dynamite explosion, but
Instead of being hailed as tho preserver of
his fellow man nnd honored by his su
periors, he was, nfter a brief Interview
with n heartless desk sergeant, locked up
In the police station.
Jauch the name Is pronounced Jowh,
not Joke had been suffering from a de
pression and ho took the psychological
method of readjusting his stntus with his
superiors by making tho nttcmpt to pose
as a hero by saving the entire Department
of Agriculture from dynamite, which he
had himself planted.
Tho noon hour had pnssed In tho De
pnrtment of Agriculture and nil of the
clerks In the old red brick main building
lind returned to their desks when through
the high celled halls of the olllces rang
Juuch's wild cry:
"ilun! Itun for your lives! For GoeVs
sake get out of the building ns fast ns you
can! There's a ton o' dynamite goln" to
go eiff In a minute."
Through tho corridors ho ran, and In
his wake he left n panic. From office
desks, from the library, down the stairs,
up from the cellar, away from their
laboratory tables, the employees scurried.
Men nnd women In nn Inextricable mess
clogged the steep Iron stairways. Every
one was In a state of the wildest alarm,
i
Wnltril for niw HiiIiiks,
Out In "the park surrounding the big
building the frightened officials, clerks,
watchmen und messengers poured. And,
then they waited fur the big building to
vanish with a loud report In a cloud of
unpleasant dust.
When the panic was at Its height some
one lets timorous than his fellows grabbed
Juuch. (
"What do you mean?" was the demand
roared Into his ear.
"Why, there's enough dynamite down
In the basement to blow everybody In
this building to kingdom come. It's right
under where Secretary Houston sits. I
think I put out tho fuse, but I wasn't
sure nnd I wanted everybody to be safe."
Jnuch, after a long wait, was taken
forcibly to the scene of his self-confessed
heroism In tho basement room directly
under the olllce of the Secretary.
There, sure enough, was the dynamite,
four half pound sticks of the strongest
compoMtlon of tho explosive, wrapped to
gathyr with tho percussion enp Inserted
In one of thu sticks arxl a snubbed out
fuso burned to within two Inches of the
tlynnmlto Itself. Ilesldo tho fuse lay n
burned match. Tho Department officials
held Jauch for the police, and the police
came on a hurry call.
With the arrival of tho pollco tho ex
amination of the would-be hero began.
At first he endeavored to explain that he
had heard the fuse sputtering and had
nipped It Just In time to avert an ex
plosion. He showed two fingers of his
right hand blistered ha with tire.
Cnnfriara lie Illd It.
Then he was put under a stricter cross
examination and began to flounder and
finally with tears choking his voice he
confessed that the danger to tho depart
ment had been little or none, for he
started with n view to its psychological
effect upon his superiors.
Thero are two promotions In tho corps
of watchmen due with the conclusion of
tho fiscal year, June 30, nnd Jauch
wanted to be assured of ono of them.
He Is n Republican and felt that his
heroism might weigh In the balance
against his politics.
Llttlo by little the story of how tho
hero had staged his piny was wonneel
out of tho unwilling Jauch. He told the
detectives that tho fuse had not even
been lighted In the basement of the build
ing. He had prepared the properties for his
little drama at hla home yesterday and
had burned the end of the fuse to give
It the appearance of having been started
and had laid the burned match beside It
to mako tho properties more convincing.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston was
not In Washington to-day. Assistant Sec
retary Galloway was acting In his stead,
but his otllco Is across tho hall from that
occupied by tho Secretary.
The police weresntlsfled that with the
plant which Jauch had set In tho event
of a real explosion there was enough dyna
mite In the packuge to have done serious
damago to llfo and property. Two pounds
of tho compound which Jauch had used
In his pseudo-psycho heroic effort to gain
olllclal approval was sufllclcnt, in their
opinion, to have blown a tremendous hole
In the old building.
Nearly 300 clerks are employed In tho
building, which Includes ulso the depart
mental library of reference and statis
tics, the bureau of publications, the offices
of the Secretary, assistant and chief clerk
und tho photographlo division.
The charge made by the police against
Jauch, who will get a preliminary hearing
to-morrow beforo tho District Qovorn
menf authorities, was "attempting the de
struction of a publlo building."
Under tho District codo convictions for
this offence muy bo punished by Irnpiisun
ment for ten years.

"There was no light in my cell," con
tinued Mrs. Holman, "though Mr. Rren
ton later sent me a small electric torch
which would not work. All around mo
were violent lunatics who made existence
hideous by their shrieks of profanity und
obscenity. I was forced to cat horrible
food with lunatlos, some of whom had
tuberculosis. I wns assaulted, and luna

still more, 1 asked him If he realized

AunURN, N. Y., June 2. "The farce nt
Herkimer, or tho miscarriage of Jus
tice," Is the title given by the Itev. W. A.
Heecher of Bennett to his opinion of the
trial of Jean Glunlnl, the boy who mur
dered the prcucher'a daughter, Llda
Ileechcr, and was acquitted nnd tent to
Matteawnn. He bays the real motive of
Glanlnl was not revenge but notoriety.
"This desire had been fostered by the
yellow literature which he hnd rend, and
tho moving picture shows which ho hnd
witnessed," said Mr. Uecchet
'Tho prototype of Jenn Glnnlnl, who Is
to be found In every school district In the

some slight or fancied provocation nnd
so get his name and picture In tho papers
and make himself notorious.
"How long will our courts pervert Jus

lawyers sell themselves tor money or
glory to defend the violators of the very
laws which they are sworn to maintain?"

More Cconomlrsl Tlinn Old.
Denver, June 2. For ono year ended
yesterday, commission government has
been tried In Denver and has been found
profitable, nccordlng to a report sub
mitted to-day by the Commissioners.

amounted to $2,881,998, and a reduction
In expenses ol $85,000 haa been obtained."
