CUD AMY SLASHES
NUDE INVADER
OF HIS HOME
Meat - Backer Attacks
Wealthy Kansas City
Banker. Whom' He Found
on Unexpected Return In
v Early Morning.
Special from United Press.)
Kansas City, Mo., March 7. J. S.
, uiliis, president of the Western Ex
change Bank, stabbed by John P. Cud
ahy, in the latter's home yesterday,
l was admittedly . in a serious condition
today. Cudahy. son of the fhlllion-
- aire packer, Michael Cudahy, and rep-
' resentative of . his interests here, is in
hiding, f Following his admission to
bail Ip. $100 he took refuge in the
home :ot- a friend where he. now . is.
Unless the injuries of -Lillis prove fatal
it is unlikely that there will be addi
tional 'sensational developments grow-
1-ing out of the affair. .
The' case against Cudahy was con
tinued in police court this morning un-
. til one week from today. Lillis being
unable to appear. V Phyeicians at the
hospital1 reported that Lillis was rest-
" ing well and would undoubtedly re
cover, and declared jthe banker would
be disfigured for life; He is suffering
from severe cuts about the face, arms
and legs, inflicted with a knife by
Cudahy. Ullis was found in the par
lor of the Cudahy home . early Sun-
, day. He was half nude and bleed ins'
from numerous jagged wounds, while
Cudahy and his chauP5ur stood over
iiis prostrate form. 2udahy told the
police that Lillis had "ruined his
home."
The police first knew of the trouble
xin .the Cudahy home when -an excited
woman's voice over the telephone -told
officers to hurry to the house as a man
was being murdered. 'Policeman Un-
. derwood rushed- to the house and found
the three men in the parlor. Lillis was
lying on the floor crying: ,
"Don't do it, Jack; pleas don't do
it." Cudahy was in evening dress,
his coat off, his sleevAs rolled up and
spattered with blood- from his victim.
Lillis was bound with ropes, half nude,
and bleeding "from numerous cuts. It
was declared today Lillis had not made
any charge against Cudahy and- for
some reason his bond has been made
light. -
Mrs. Cudahy issued a statement in
which she said the stories that have
been circulated regarding her were dis
torted and untrue.' "Time alone will
bring out the real truth," she declar
ed. "In justice to me and my chil
dren don't believe a word that is be
ing said."
. The Cudahy family is one of the so-
cial leaders in Kansas City. Li lis is
. . 47 years old and a bachelor. He is
also prominent. He has been an inti
mate friend of -the Cudahy family for
years. It Was reported a few months
ago that Cudahy and Lillis had had a
misunderstanding. Later Lillis ceased
to be a guest at the social affairs in
, the Cudahy home. The Cudahys have
four children. ' , -
-Although nothing would be given out
by the physicians at the hospital as to
the extent of Lillis' injuries, it is
' learned that he has a ash on the
cheek and a cut on the nead. It is
said he also has a deep cut in the
left leg. The knife is believed to have
penetrated to the bone. On each hip
there is a aeep tiesn wound ana one
cut- was inflicted below the left arm.
It is expected the case will be called
next week and dismissed with a small
fine unless a more serious charge is
made against Cudahy. If this should
be done and a hearing called, "most of
, the testimony regarding the attack
may come from the maid employed in
the Cudahy home who witnessed the
cutting. The maid said today that
she was so- excited that she could
hardly tell what happened.
CUDAHY INSANELY JEALOUS
OP WIFE WHO WrAS
REIGNING SOCIETY BELLE
Omaha, Neb.. March 7. That John
t. Cudahy is insanely jealous. is the
statement or Mrs. jonn -. vjowm
mother of Mrs. Cudahy, whose hus
band is accused of attacking Jere Lil
lis. millionaire banker, at Kansas City,
With a. knife.
i Mrs. Cudahy's father is now on his
, way to Kansas City. Mrs. Cowin
stated that Cudahy had these spells
frequently. "They are nothing new,
She said.
"It is not nrobable that Mrs.- Cud-
- ahy will leave Kansas City following
lier husband's outburst. She will .re
main at home with her children," de
clared Mrs. Ccwin. Mrs. Cowin. also
' stated that if anybody was to leave
Kansas City it would be Cudahy.
The Cowins are among the oldest
rind best known families in Omaha;
Mrs. Cudahy--was- Miss Edna Cowin
before her marriage. She was a so
ciety belle and was once queen of the

plan proposed for this section is Re
lieved to be in keepingvwith the redis
ricting plan.
Under the new scheme all of the post
offices in the small towns which now
make a report direct to Washington
will make regular reports to Bridge

Washington instead of seven or eight;
Postmaster Marigold was asked
about the matter this morning. He
said that he had no knowledge of the

it went into effect. Of towns that

(Special from . United Press.)
Portland, Me., March 7. One life
is believed to have been lost and a
half score of ' passengers barely es
caped death here early today when
the Maine Steamship Company's big
vessel, the Manhattan,- was burned to
the water's edge in Portland harbor.
Within a fewt minutes after the
flames broke out .two boats from the
city wharves pulled out to the Man
hattan and took - off her passengers.
They then passed lines to the burn
ing vessel and towed her to the
South Portland shore where she was
beached. All efforts to extinguish the
flames were futile and the vessel will
suffer a loss of $250,000.

(Special from United Press.)
New London, March 7. While work
ing in the uppermost branches of a
tall tree on Bank, street at noon to-day
Henry Johnson, of Coleman street,
came in contact with a live wire which
gave him such a shock that he lost
his hold and fell 20 feet his body lodg
ing in a crotch of the tree where he re
mained fully half an hour before a
rescue was effected.
Johnson, who is a lineman for the
Western Union, was repairing fallen
wires and climbed the tree to straight
en some tangled wires. Unaccountab
ly his bare right hand came in con
tan.t with a. live wire, burnine the nne-n
ers almost off the hand. Strange to
say, instead of tightening his grip on
the tree, the current sent him tumbling
downwards.
After , many ineffectual efforts, a pe
destrian, who saw the accident, final
ly climbed to where Johnson was lodg
ed and brought him safely to the
ground. Johnson is now in his home
in a serious condition. While his ul
timate recovery is expected, it is said
that he will be confined to his bed for
several weeks.
OJECT
Government Engineer Rec
ommends Certain Im
provements In Pequon
nock and Cedar Creek.
Washington, March 7.- The report
of the army engineers on the . survey
of Bridgeport Harbor "authorized un
der the last river and harbor act, has
been sent to Congress. Colonel Tay
lor, engineer in charge of waterway
improvements in Connecticut, recom
mended the following improvement:
Dredging an eighteen-foot channel
up the Pequonnock ' river to a point
1,500 feet below the head of the
present channel, widening the chan
nel and cutting off certain bends;
deepening to twelve feet Cedar Creek
throughout its length up the head of
each branch, with slight widening at
some of. the bends; extending dredg
ing to the twelve-foot contour line
under water in Long Island Sound.
The estimated total cost of this im
provement is $90,000 -and the annual
cost of maintaining the improvement
is estimated at ' $6,000.
Colonel Taylor expressed his opin
ion that as the project was especially
worthy of the attention of the fed
eral government,.- its entire cost
should be borne by Uncle Sam. The
engineer review board reached the
conclusion that while the improve
ment was worthy of government ap
proval, the question whether some of
the expense should be borne by the
municipality, or" other local agency,
should be left for Congress to dete--mine.
Colonel Knight, division en
gineer of the New York headquarters,
and General Marshall, chief of en
gineers, agreed with the local en
gineer and the board. The Bridge
port project is now eligible for con
sideration by Congress in connection
with the pending river and harbor
bill.

Intend to Cause Arrest
of Strike Leaders on
Charge of Conspiracy
Public Director Clay Denies
Claims of Union Men and
Says that Not More Than
20,000 Men Are Out Has
Force of 10,000 Regular
and Special Policemen.
(Special from United Press.) '
' Philadelphia, " March 7. With ev
ery prospect that the general strike
committee will be arrested on charges
of conspiracy at , the behest of the
city officials before . the day is out,
the third day of the tie-up of the
city's business interests opened with
both sides apparently prepared, for
eny thing. The -city was quiet in The
early morning hours, the rioting of
Sunday, when five were shot, scofces
beaten and over- -50 arrested, appar
ently have taken the fighting temper
out of the crowds. There were not
many on the streets in the early
hours and those that were there kept
on the move so there was nothing for
the police to do.
The feeling among labor leaders
here, and among them are a number
of chiefs of international unions, is
growing more bitter as the hours go
by. The open threat against cits
officials who intend to invoke the
common law regarding .conspiracy.and
the suggestion that Federal troops are
being held at Fort Jay for use in this
city, is- inflaming the temper of the
workers and the defiance of ths city
officeds has brought about a condition
that may easily rsujt. in trouble sim
ilar to that which followed" the gen
eral strike of 1877. " : '
The latest suggestion is that the
American Federation of Labor sanction
a strike on all trolley lines and other
enterprises controlled or financed" by
the Widener-Elkins-Dolan combina
tion, no matter where located, and
this is being seriously considered by
the men who have the power to or
der such action. In this case there is
danger of the strike spreading
throughout the country and that is
the danger that is most acute. Such
a strike would of necessity involve
most industries and therefoie must be
well considered before decided upon.
Just how many men are out is still
a matter in dispute, but it is certain
the number is not below . 50,000.
Charles A. Hope, chairman of the
committee of ten that is handling the
strike, the canvass carefully made
shows the number to be 48,350.
The big plants are entirely closed
by the strike although a, number claim
to be running with a small force.
Theatre workers, number 800, who
had voted to go on general strike.have
been ordered back to work, being no
tified by the Boston headquarters that
the National organisation would not
support them.
Strike leaders today declared 16,500
Hebrew workers would Join the strike
today and that 9,500 German workers
would go out.
.Peter Schaeffer of the Brewers' un
ion, who is in Cincinnati, has been
asked by brewery workers here to get
the sanction of ' the National board
for a strike in which 6,00 0 men hen
would join.
Mayor . Reyburn's son has been
sworn in as a special policeman and
is doing patrol duty With the other
specials. There , will be a monster
mass meeting of the strikers .in La-,
bor Lyceum hall this afternoon.
Two sticks of dynamite were ex
ploded under a car at 19th and Hunt
ington Park today. The passengers
on the Tioga car were thrown intoa
panic but not injured, although all
the windows were smashed.
Alarmed by the report that the po
lice authorities have planned to arrest
all the members of the committee of
ten in addition to the national and lo
cal labor leaders assisting in the di
rection of the strike the labor leaders
at a meeting held to-day at noon ap
pointed a secret provisional commit
tee to conduct the strike in case all the
present directors should be taken1 in
to custody. The identity of the mem
bers of this committee has been kept
secret.
There was the same variance of
figures regarding the. number on
strike as on Saturday. The radical
leaders boasted that they had 150.
000 men out. Conservatice leaders
a dmit. these figures are exaggerated.
They say that fully 65,000 are out.
Public Director Clay declared em
phatically this morning that these
claims are all lies. He insists that
not more than 20,000 men are jut
a nd that many of these are alr-.adv
eager to go back to work. When
Clay was asked about the conference
last night at which it was understood
the city officials decided to demand
the indictment of- all of the strike
"eaders on warrants of conspiracy,
basing this charge on the common
law provision and allege that in quit
ting their work to aid the car men
the strikers have "conspired to fin
ancially injure their employers, n
said:
"We stick to our policy of makim
no threats. When the time comes to
act we will act. Disturbances will
have to stop."
It is conservatively estimated -that
the loss already sustained by Phila
delphia merchants and dealers will
reach $5,000,000. It is believed this
sum will grow larger if the strike
spreads.
Clay denied today that he was to
cr. 11 for state troops, asserting, that
his force of 10,000 regular and special
nolicemen was capable of handlm?;
the situation. It is rumored today
that the authorities intend to - rail

ROBERT EMMET
CLUB MEMORIAL
Poli's Theatre Filled With
Immense Audience Charm
ed By Fine Address
Delightful Program of Song
and Music Interspersed
With Tragic Story of Irish
Martyr.
The audience which assembled last
evening at Poli's theatre at the mem
orial exercises to the memory of
Robert Emmet, the Irish martyr, was
in all respects the most representa
tive and in point of numbers tlSt
largest in the history of these an
niversary observances.. Hon. Alex
ander ' I. Rorke, a brilliant young
New York lawyer, delivered th
oration and his address proved most
interesting and instructive. His ef
fort was listened to with the closest
attention upon the part of his hear
ers and many times he was inter
rupted by outbursts of applause. His
treatment of the theme was masterly.
He possesses oratorical gifts not
usually found in men so young and
on all sides were heard encomiums
for . his splendid performance. As
has ever been the custom with thest
annual meetings which are held un
der ,th eauspices of the Robert Em
met club of this city, a delightful
program of song and music was af
forded. The artists comprised the
Misses Margaret Cummings, Anna L.
Hartigan, Mrs. Philip T. Outran,
Messrs. Peter F. Radican of Hart
ford, and Joseph Clabby, .John
Hughes, and James F. Mahoney of
this city.
The Wheeler & Wilson orchestra
played Irish melodies in fine fashion.
The songs -that were sung were singu
larly appropriate, being the better
known compositions of famous Irish
composers. All of the singers were
in excellent voice with the result that
the entertainment proved most en
joyable. - '
Dir. J. H. Callahan was temporary
chairman and introduced Mr. James
L. McGovern as permanent chairman
of the meeting. Mr. McGovern in
brief and appropriate remarks in
which he outlined the purpose . for
which the Robert Emmet Club exists,
introduced the distinguished speaker
of the evening. Following the ad
dress of Mr. Rorke, Dr. Callahan read
a set of resolutions in support of the
principles for which the Clan-a-gael
stands and they were adopted by the
meeting on motion of Major J. H.
McMurray with a mighty affirmative
shout. ' -
. A most generous reception was ac
corded to Mr. Rorke when introduced
to the auaience.' He said in part:

HOW THE TAX
PAYERS' MONEY
IS EXPENDED
Fire Department Gets Sob Committee
List Showing Items Sub Dividing
' Its Appropriation.
List is Furnished by Mr. Paige, Who as
Acting Member of Sab Committee,
Directs Expenditure of Almost Quar
ter Million.
How the sub committee system ,of
spending money works in the Board
of Apportionment, was well illustrat
ed, Saturday, when the Fire Commis
sioners, received from Allan '' W.
Paige, a list showing the items for
which $207,825 appropriated to the
department, may -be expended.
Theoretically there were two mem
bers of the sub committee on fire de
partment, but one was absent, and
Mr. Paige was the sole member act
ing. Not a member of the Board, of Ap
portionment, the City Auditor, tho
clerk of the Fire Department, the
clerk of the Board of Apportionment,
or the Fire Commissioners, knew now
this almost quarter of a million dol
lars of the people's money was to ie
spent, until Mr. Paige gave them the
knowledge. This illustration shows
how the usefulness of the Tax Board
has passed. It was intended, wh-jn
the board was created that its mem
bers should know of every item on
the list and closely scrutinize it. But
the other members of the board were
on sub-committees and had budgets
of their own to look after. It is
doubtful whether all of the cits de
partments have learned, up to this
time, how they may spend their ap
propriations. The fire department appropriations,
as arranged by Mr. Paige, are a
follows:
Regular Blacksmith and repairs,
$500; chemical supplies, $250; coal
and wood, $3,000; furniture, $200;
fire alarm, $1,500; feed, $9,000;
horses, $3,000; hydrant repairs, $600;
harness and repairs, $500; laundry
$1,100; supplies (general), $5,500;
telephones, $700;, -veterinary, $600;

BUILDING TRADES SOON
TO DEMAND
HALFHOLIi
As May Day approaches the unions
in the building trades in this city are
considering demands for better con
ditions. An effort made by the un
ions to hold a conference with the
master builders, Feb. 2 5, failed to at
tract the bosses. Only one employer,
a carpenter, appeared.
Since then the Interstate Associa
tion has sent out a letter to the effect
that the unions are getting "impudent
again," and advising members not to
heed demands.
The building trades will seek, it is
said, a half day off on Sautrday with
a flat weekly wage, and no deduction
for the half day.
The program of the unions has not
taken any settled form, however, al
though it is understood that the lead
ers of the unions believe that some
thing should be done this year to
better conditions because of the in
creased cost of. living.
The circular letter sent out by the
unions which received only, one re
sponse is as follows:
"Sir: At a conference held by the
Journeymen Carpenters,. Masons
Plumbers and Painters, the following
resolution was adopted:
"Whereas, The conditions now ex
ist in the building business of this
city are not in keeping with condi
tions existing in other cities; and,
"Whereas, We believe there should

A Farmer reporter talked with an
officer of one of the unions this
morning. , He said that he did not
know what the next move of the
unions would be, but there would
probably be some demand made for
better conditions on May' 1.
A member of the. Interstate As
sociation said this morning: "I don't
hear any complaint from any of my
employes. The unions may be in a.
position to make demands but ac
cording to my way of thinking there
are too many workmen in Bridgeport
who are not affiliated with the or
ganizations. The circular letter look
ed like a-bluff to us and we believe
we are strong enough to call it.
"The unions desire tp sign agree
ments with the. masters that will ex
pire on the same date. At present
the most of us who hire help like
the open shop pretty well."
