"Here you, Sheridan; come" right along," he barked, siezing the youth roughly and shoving him along. "One side please" said he in manda tory tones, as the Stratford townsfolk came crowding up m expectancy of a scran. -"Now. go 'lone- there and behave yourself," he grunted, iglving Sheridan a final yank -and allowing him to -depart In the wake of the others. : "Pretty bad man, that" was' his sage observation, as he turned aside and mingled in the crowd who regard ed . him as a strange officer of the Jaw.

Wheeler had a magazine from which he was tearing leaves, pinning them to a wooden back ground, and firing at a distance of 30 feet. "Let me take your gun, Charlie," Bald the Superintendent. Wheeler had just pinned to the timber a. magazine page containing ' picture of Hi3 Majesty, Edward VII, robed in a cloak of royal ermine Birmingham whipped the pistol up, fired a single shot and handed the gun back to Wheeler. The cellar was but dimly lighted, and Wheeler had to get the paper target before they could see what success had attended - the Superin tendent's' effort. Had the target "been a bull's eye, the superintendent would have rung the bell. The king's royal robe hail been entered, and his right knee was badly wounded. The superintendent didn't fire a second time, content to rest upon the laurels of his first shot. Wheeler preserved the target, which will no doubt stand for many a day as a record of marksmanship.

The country is anxiously waiting for the announce ment of President Taft as to the man to fill the place of the late Justice Brewer in the United States Supreme Court.

New Xork, March 3t . At the fire in surance Inquiry today B. E. Clapp of ,K E. Clapp & Company, New York agents of the Fidelity'& Casualty. Com pany, a brother-in-law -of T. Brown who was warden of . Sing Sing prison in 1832. swore that 'Warden Brown suggested he see E. E. Brown, the pur chasing agent of the prison, regarding pending legislation affecting his com pany. Olappv could not go and sent George F. Seward to see Brown.- Sew ard has sworn that Brown offered to have "Big Tim" Sullivan kill' tke bill for $10,000 and this Brown denied so Clapp was called to substantiate the statement that the interview took place. John B. Lunger of Hartford, vice president of the Traveller's Insurance Company of Hartford, refused to tell who suggested that his company em ploy William H. Buckley, the Albany lobbyist, on the ground that he in tended to "respect the. memory of the dead." He was for 17 years connected with the Prudential Life Insurance Com pany and in 182 became managing actuary of the 'New York Life where he remained until 1902 when he became vice president of the Traveler's. While with the New York Life. Lun ger saidi he knew E. El McCall, now a Supreme Court justice; as. well as the late "Andy" Hamilton, who handled the "yellow dog" fund of the life in surance comipanies. ' McCall and Ham ilton had offices together in the New York Life Building. Lunerer also knew Buckley but had no understand ing that McCall, Hamilton and Buck ley had any connection in dealing with legislative matters. The witness stat ed he received from Superintendent Hotchkiss a request for all documents, checks, vouchers and 'papers bearing on Buckley's connection with the com pany. He said he had furnished all these papers save one which placed Buckley in communication with the company and he would not make it public because the writer wassdead. "I do not want to be-disrespectful to the dead but I shall learn that man's name," declared Superintendent Hotch kiss, "as I intend to know who placed you in communication with such a man as Buckley." ' , - Then Hotchkiss flashed a check for $10,000 and demanded the reason why General Counsel Smith did not produce it when he was on the stand. "Is there anything sinister in this LAID TO REST FUNERAL SERVICES the House and Senate Judiciary Com mittee, the Department of Justice and the local courts in addition to the members of the Supreme Court, joined the family and a few intimate friends of the Justice at the services ' in ' the Brewer home which were conducted by Rev. Samuel H. Woodrow, pastor of the First Congregational church, assisted by Rev. F. M. Newman. Contrary to the original plans, the Supreme Court Justices did not ac company the remains to the Leaven worth cemetery owing to-the pres sure of business. At a later date the court will hold formal memorial ex ercises, t it V it"-. "i.f " this will not bar him. While these men are the most x .prominently men tioned. President Taft may surprise the country by selecting a dark horse from his old time associates on the be.nch. check? If not, why was an examiner from my office, asked - to withhold this check?" demanded Hotchkiss, but the question was not answered. "When did. you first get in touch with teuckley?" - "In January. 1903, we drafted in our office a bill affecting liability reserves. We wanted it pass ed through the New York Legislature. I was asked to find a suitable man to act as our attorney. A. man now dead suggested Buckley to me as a former State Insurance official who could explain the matter best to the Legislature. We retained Buckley. The bill was introduced by , Senator Fancher and was passed." "You gave out an interview in Hart ford a few days ago in which you called Buckley an honorable man and his dealings with your company were characterized as legitimate. Now, if this entire transaction was all right, why do you refrain from giving the name of the man who recommended Buckley to you?" asked Hotchkiss. "Conditions have probably' changed since I gave out that interview. I have been reading the papers." "I will ask you this, was it 'Andy' Hamilton?" "No, positivelj'' not." Lunger said after the Fancher bill became a law the Travellers received a bill from Buckley which "staggered" the officials, it was so large. He came to New York and had an interview with Buckley, endeavoring to have him reduce the bill. Buckley refused j and on May 20. 1903, it was paid. It was $21,400. " Witness said Buckley never told him he paid money to get the bill through. "In all your insurance experience do you remember a time when a great insurance corporation has paid an in experienced lawyer $21,400 for four months' work at the rate of nearly $70,000 a' year?" "No." Hotchkiss produced Buckley's bills, one for $S,90O. from his Albany office, and one for $10,000 from, his New York office, which were paid by two checks drawn on different banks but Lunger could not explain why this was so or why they covered the same period of time, the first four months of 1903. j "Is it not a fact that these two sep arate bills were rendered and separate ' checks drawn because Buckley told you he had to .pay out that $10,000 to some one else?" asked Hatchkiss.

(Special from United Press.) New York, March 31. That the case of Albert Wolter, charged with . mur dering 15 year old Ruth Wheeler, dis membering and burning her body, will be rushed to a conclusion as rapidly as possible, was made certain today when Judge Mulqueen in the Court of General Sessions refused to grant thei ten1 days, asked by W. B. Scott, Wolter's counsel, to plead and under protest allowed only 24 hours. 'I am giving you 24 hours for what you should be able to do in five min utes, said the court. "This is a sim ple indictment for murder and you cannot ask for more time. .This case is set on the pleading calendar for 10:30 tomorrow morning and on the call calendar for 1 o'clock in the af ternoon. . At that time .the date of the trial will be fixed. It is expected to be held .within two, weeks. The courtroom was crowded when Wolter entered- from the Tombs to plead today. He had apparently re covered much of his original bravado and was quiet and self-possessed. He had made a careful toilet, having been provided with a -collar and necktie which were, missing when he appeared before the coroner's jury yesterday. Clothing and shoes were carefully brushed and he appeared self-satisfied and indifferent to the curiosity of the snectjators. . Before the prisoner could answer to the question, "Are you 1 guilty or not guilty?" his counsel interposed and demanded the statutory 24 hours in which "to plead. He also demanded a copy of the indictment against Wolter. The : 24 hours was allowed and ; the at torney was, told that he would be giv en a copy Of the indictment immediate ly. - The next case was then .called and Wolter was taken back to his cell in the Tombs without having uttered a word. ; ! ' Later Attorney Scott declared that he could hardly prepare his ease with in ten days and will endeavor to have it set not earlier than two weeks. As sistant District Attorney Moss, who has charge of the case for the state, announced that' he would have a spe cial panel in readiness for the open ing of the trial. ' interesting is the sole word which Scott would apply to the description of his proposed de fense. "I've been very busy with an other case and have, not - been able to perfect the defense," he said today, "but I can assure you that it will be interesting." When it was suggested that insanity would be the logical defense the at torney smiled. "You may' draw any conclusions which you like, but I will not discuss them . for you." It is rumored in circles that are interested in the - defense, ' however. that an attempt will be made o prove that Wolter was not even in his flat at the time the -Wheeler girl called and that another man who had access to the - flat received the girl and committed the criane. Scott today denied flatly the report that Mrs. John Murray Mitchell, wife of Former Congressman Mitchell, had retained him as counsel for Wolter; Wolter's father, iho visited his accus ed son in his cell at the Tombs for the first time last night, declared that he had retained Scott .as he believed his son innocent and although the boy had been disinherited, the father did not wish to think that he might be convicted through any lack of legal ad- 250,000 MEN AFFECTED BY COA STRIKE Orderly Consideration of Conditions Mark Early Stages of Battle LOCAL USERSNEEDN'T WORRY . (Special from United' Press.) Indianapolis, March 31. That the country will not suffer any hardships as a result of the suspension of work in the mining districts of the country1 when the miners begin their negotia tions with the operators, was the statement of President Lewis, of the United Mine Workers of America to day. Lewis declares that the suspen sion will last no longer than 30 days and that 250,000 men out of 500,000 would be affected. At Brazil. Ind., the miners and operators of "District 8 of the Block Coal Field, will be call ed together next "Wednesday for the purpose of signing a contract for the next t w t years. At Oakland City, five of the largest mines in Indiana are idle as a result of the ' men failing to go to work in anticipation of the general strike. About 2,0000 men are affected. Within the next 24 hours fully 17,000 men employed in the mines in District 11 will be on strike unless the opera tors concede: the miners' demands to day at Terre Haute, where a joint con ference is in session. Lewis today sent out circulars to the officials and miners telling: them to refrain from working until their con tracts have been signed giving them their demands. (Continued on Page 4.) BIGGEST DROP PLANT FOR Bridgeport Forge Company to Erect Modern, Electrically Driven Oil Burning Plant on Site of oneJDestroyed by Fire Contracts for Construction Aggregate $70,000 Work has been started in the West End on the site of the old plant of the Bridgeport Forge Co., which -will re sult in the erection of the most mod ern forge plant in the country, and a plant that will be the nucleus of one of the largest concerns in America, turning out steam hammer forgings. Soon the contracting firm of Toole & Sunderlin will commence to drive pil ings on the same ground at the foot of Howard avenue where for many years stood the old frame structure used by the company since its incep tion. The old (plant was destroyed by fire in October last, and Toole & Soin derlin have the contract for the foun dations of two large steel buildings that will cost in the neighborhood of $70,000 when completed. Hiuge traveling cranes are to be in stalled in the plant to facilitate the handling of the heavy pieces of steel and wrought iron which the company will hammer into specified' shapes. The big cranes' will be electrically driven. What is more, the concern is to give up the use of coal in" its furnaces and its fuel in the future will be oil. Since the fire which destroyed the main plant of the company there have teen stories afloat to the effect that the concern had been sold out or that it would discontinue. But it was learned at the plant today that the company name will remain the Bridge port Forge Company and that Charles F. Bliss will remain president of the concern. Except for the president new officers have been elected throughout. C S3. Lindsay is the new secretary and treasurer. He is a native Pitts burger and has been connected with the iron and steel trade in the West for many ' years. He will move his family to this city and make his home here in the future. The other officer of the company is Thomas Dunlap. of this city, who is to be the sales manager of the concern and who was formerly connected with it During the past 18 months he has visited every forging .plant in the coun try and he knows the capabilities of each. Mr. Dunlap .is at present in charge of the plant. When the company is ready to do business there will not be anything in wrought iron or steel that will be too GENERAL INCREASE IN PASSENGER RATES ON NEW HAVEN R. R.

The plant does not make drop forg ing from moulds, but works from drawings, making shafts, die blocks, connecting rods, crank shafts and hundreds of other pieces. Seldom does it make two pieces alike in rotation, Almost the entire product of the plant will be special work designed to be come a part of some big plant or ves sel. , A, member of the company said to day: "We are going to start on mod ern lines and will try to grow. In fact we don't believe we will have any difficulty in doing so if we follow the lines we have laid1 down: The stock of the company Is owned in New Eng land and the change made is brought about by the transfer of some of the common stock. "Our desire at this time is- to have the most up-to-date forge plant in New lungiana, ir not in the country. It will be electrically driven. We have a power plant that was saved from the fire that is equal to 750 horse-power. We have changed it from an al ternating to a direct current system. "A great deal of work Was done in the old plant but with our .plan to burn oil and to handle our work with fast moving cranes we will certainly be able to multiply the output of the old plant. "There has .been considerable .talk going about concerning the future of the plant, but we were not able to make publicly known the future of the concern until after Friday when the new officers were elected".
