MYSTERY IN
ABANDONMENT
OF BABY GIRL
Young Mother Well Dressed and
Cultured Vanishes Completely
NO MEANS OFJDENTIFIGATION
Tiny Child in Lakeview Home,
While Police Seek to Locate
Patents
Through a well laid and cleverly ex
ecuted plan, a pretty haby girl of not
more than a month -was last night
abandoned at the boarding: house of
Mrs. M. E. Mead. 108 Oourtland street,
by an attractive, well dressed and cul
tured young woman who represented
herself as the child's mother.
Mrs. Mead reported the abandonment
to the police, who at once looked for
the mother at the Tailroad station,
convinced she had come here from an
other city and would soon depart, but
though Mrs. Mead had a good descrip
tion, the police could not find the wo
man. Receiving no further information
about the ohlld or its identity, Mrs.
Mead today turned the little one over
to the care of the Charities depart
ment, and Investigator Morrissey who
lias had a wealth of experience in the
handling of babies of his own. held
the wee person tenderly in his arms as
j he drove with her from Mrs. Mead's
to the Lakeview Home.
Mrs. Mead answered a ring at her
i doorbell at 6 last night to find there
i n young woman with a child on her
! arm. She sought a furnished room.
At first she was disinclined to receive
j her, on account of the baby, but gave
way to a more generous impulse and
welcomed the woman. The stranger
I expressed satisfaction at the room and
I asked Mrs. Mead to bring her warm

said the daughter. But the caller
overcame her objections, and departed
'before Mrs. Mead's return. She has
i not been seen since.
Mrs. Mead describes the visitor as
I short and well rounded, with dark
I eyes, black hair, and a pleasant face.
, She wore a black skirt, with two folds
about the bottom, and a white sweat -J
er coat beneath her black jacket.
Mrs. Mead inquired of the applicant
tea to her husband's whereabouts, and
the woman replied that he would oome
on from New Jersey as soon as she
. notified him she had secured a suit

nothing as to her Identity, Her name
as not even mentioned.
The baby was well and comfortably

possible means of identifreation it was
found that all the garments were new
and ready made. There was but one

of the baby's cloak.
The police and charities departments

woman's identity, but thus far they

ALLEGED VICTIM
OF MALPRACTICE
AT DEATH'S DOOR
Young Negress Whose Story Led
to Physician's Arrest in Criti
cal Condition
ASKS TO 60H0ME TO DIE
Dr. Bunnell and Negro Coach

years old colored girl for several
months in St. Vincent's hospital fol
lowing an alleged illegal operation,
was taken home from the hospital to
die in her mother's home, 35 Colum
bus place, yesterday.
Tomorrow morning Dr. William H.
Bunnell, of 1116 Stratford avenue,
and Edwin Luckett, a negro coach
man, will be arrigned in the city
court. Both have been under arrest
since the latter part of January. Dr.
Bunnell is at liberty in bail of $3,500
furnished by his mother, Mrs. Julia
3. Bunnell, and young Luckett is en
Joying his freedom under a bond of
$2,500 furnsihed by Ross H. Farrar,
a negro steward.
The young nsgress was removed to
St Vincent's hospital three weeks aft
er New Year's, when it was alleged
the illegal operation was performed.
Dr. A. C. Bradley, the family physi
cian, was called to the girl's home in
Columbus place, and discovering what
he believed to be evidences of mal
practice, he reported the case to Su
perintendent of Charities Brennan.
Dr. C. J. Leverty of the city staff
advised the girl's removal to the hos
pital. For several weeks she hovered
between life and death, suffering
from blood poison, then she was be
lieved to be slowly improving". Dur
ing the last fortnight however she had
been growing weaker daily, and when
the child's mother learned from the
doctors in attendance early this week
that there was little or no hope for
the girl's recovery, she asked that
she might be brought home to die.
Dr. Bunnell and young Luckett's
oases have been continued several
weeks at a time awaiting the girl's re
covery. Now it is extremely unlike
ly that she will ever be able to take
the witness stand.
Prosecutor Redden who issued the
warrants on which the two were ar
rested, will prefer the charge of man
slaughter against the two if the girl
dies before morning.
Dr. Bunnell made no statement to
the police when he was arrested, but
young Luckett, who has been em
ployed by various physicians as
coachman, admitted that he paid the
expenses of the girl's treatment and
that he was responsible for her con

LIVINGSTON OFFERS TO
MANAGE GARBAGE PLANT
FOR PROFITS IT MAKES
But City Must Purchase Property, Increase
the Plant and put Him in Charge
Mayor Buckingham Much Opposed to City's Buying of Plant on
Ground That it Would be a Nuisance City Attorney Serves
Notice Preliminary to Suit
City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan
has served notice upon the Bridgeport
By-Products company that the City
expects it to carry out its contract for
the reduction of garbage, and that, in
default, the city will sue on the com
pany's $10,000 bond.
The city attorney has received in
reply, a letter from J. B. Livingston,
president of the company. The let
ter denies that the company failed to
give the city suitable notice of its
purpose to stop work. In connection
Mr. Livingston offers to run the plant
for the city, and take the profits for
his pay, if the city will buy it, add
$15,000 for improvements and operate
it.
The authorities regard Mr. Living
ston's letter as a pleasant bit of
"bluff" to attract public sympathy,
and to aid as far as may be the for
lbrn movement to induce the city to
buy the property.
Requested' by a reporter of the Far
mer the city attorney furnished a copy
of his letter to which the letter of
President Livingston is a-Teply. The
citv attorney wrote:
"Dear Sir The Bridgeport By-Products
Company today refused to dis
pose of any more garbage for the city
of Bridgeport. The reason advanced
in your communication to the Board
of Health, which was received on last
Saturday, are of course a mere pretext
for breaking your contract.
"As you know, these reasons were
not at any time put forward by you
in your statements to the Board of
Health and to the special committee
appointed to consider th garbage
problem, when you told l.iem that
there was a prospect of the contract
being abandoned by your company at
some time during the year, but the
reasons which you gave, as you well
know, had no reference to or connec
tion with the excuse which you would
now make.
"I desire to notify you and through
you the Bridgeport By-Products Com
pany, that the city of Bridgeport ex
pects the Bridgeport By-Products
Company to continue its contract for
the reduction of the garbage and that
if you do not resume work at once and
dispose of the city's garbage, suit will
be brought against you for breach of
contract, and against the Aetna In
demnity Company, the surety on your
bond."
That the city will purchase the plant
of the By-Products Co., under the
present administration is more than
improbable. The question of possi
ble profits is not involved. The ob-.
jection to the purchase is that the
company has never been able to op
erate the plant to the satisfaction of
the people of the East Sicw, who have
always declared that it is a nuisance.
Mayor Buckingham is firmly convinc
ed that the city connot run the plant
so that it will not be a nuisance, as
-'ts original owners were unable to do
so. Mr. Livingston's letter follows:
"Dear Sir Your letter of the 11th
inst. received. "We expressly deny
that our refusal to continue the dis
posal of the Bridgeport garbage is
based on any mere pretext. The Board
of Health knows, whether you are
aware of it or not, that the city has
violated its contract with us, almost
from the beginning, and in spite of
our repeated' protests, in the delivery
of large quantities of all sorts of rub
bish to us. It has constantly caused
FISHPOLE BURGLAR
GETS 14 YEARS
Luckily the jury sitting in the trial
of Edward Coleman, the fishpole bur
glar brought in a verdict of guilty
for six counts of burglary this morn
ing. One count was nolled, as the
evidence was not sufficient. On the
first count, Coleman was sentenced to
state's prison for not more tlian four
nor less than three years, and on the
other counts, he was given two years
each, making a total of 14 years.
State's prison will not be new to Cole
man. He left that institution about a
year ago, being sent up from New
Haven for burglary for about six years
bv Judge Gager, who passed sentence
this morning. According to Judge
Gager, Coleman is a confirmed bur
glar. Burglary was his profession.
Coleman is the sneak who prowled
about during the evening, making a
practice of robbing the homes of poor
people. His favorite trick was to grab
a pair of trousers from off a chair
SEVERE QUAKE RECORDED
BY THE GOVERNMENT'S
WASHINGTON SEISMOGRAPH
(Special from United Press.)
Washington, May 13. The govern
ment seismograph at the weather
bureau here today recorded earth
quake shocks lasting an hour, begin
ning at 3:24 a. m. (Eastern time.)
Officials think the center of the
quake was in South America. The
record was much more distinct than
that made when Costa Rica was de
vastated on the night of May 4. The
time of the record here coincides ex
actly with those made at Cleveland
and St. Louis.
Three shocks within half an hour
were also recorded this morning at
Georgetown University. The first of
these was at 3:26 a. m.. and lasted
five minutes; the second at 3:36 a. m.,
lasting four minutes, and the third
at 3:45 a. m., lasting two minutes.
The tremors alternated from east
to west and north to south and con
us expense and trouble, and numerous
breakdowns for all of which the city
is legally responsible to this com
pany. "For years Mayors. Boards of
Health, health officers, inspectors and
weighers have had their attention call
ed to this rubbish, and all would throw
up their hands and say it must be
stopped, but that was the last of it.
'Patience has ceased to be a virtue',
and I feel we have been imposed upon
long enough. I know many Bridge
port business men who agree with
me.
"Last March the Mayor and presi
dent of the Board of Health came up
pat my request and looked at the large
accumulation of cans. etc.. and ex
pressed horror, and at the next meet
ing of the board it came up. but as
usual nothing was done. I waited
until I could see there was no improve
ment, and decided it was time to bring
an end to it. So much for. that fea
ture of the case.
"Now. as to the utterly unwarranted
outcry in the newspapers that we have
suddenly and without warning, thrown
the city into its present position on the
verge of summer.
"Doubtless, you are not responsible
for these statements, for you know
very well they are without foundation.
The ostriches who have had their
heads under the sand for the last five
months, in disregard of our warnings
and notices, nave forgotten the obvious
and well known fact that the special
committee now advising the Board of
Health, was appointed in December to
deal with this very situation. That
pwas the object of their creation. They
had before then Mr. Boardman, who
is attorney for Mr. Severance, and our
own attorneys. Messrs. Marsh & Stod
dard, and were made fully aware of
the entire situation.
"It is true that after the company
failed to secure a location at East
Lyme, for which several citizens of
Bridgeport are responsible, the writer
decided he could not afford to con
tinue in charge of the garbage plant,
as it was not large enough to war
rant paying him what he could earn
in other lines of business. After thus
deciding, he advised Mr. Severance,
who had then become owner of the
plant by foreclosure. This was last
December, and very shortly after it
came out in the papers that Commis
sioner Kelly stated the Board of
Health would not continue with our
plant, and would ask the Board of Ap
portionment for $75,000 to build incin
erators. When this came to my no
tice, I at once called on Dr. Ober. and
told him I expected to give up the
management of the plant, and leave
Bridgeport, and if they were going to
build a plant, I felt sure MT. Sever
ance would sell as I did not believe
he would run the plant without, me,
even if the city wished him to assume
the contract. Dr. Ober said he knew
nothing of asking for $75,000 for an
other plant, but if he cared to make
a proposition, to do so. and I wrote
Mr. Severance to send one. I also
saw Mayor Buckingham, the exact
date of- both of these interviews be
ing December 11th. 1909.
"Mr. Severance made a proposition
to sell for $40,000. I stated all these
facts plainly to everyone interested,
calling personally on every member of
that committee, including yourself, but
they took no action for the reason, as
I understand it, that they thought Mr.
Severance was 'bluffing' them. At
least that is an expression you have

When Coleman complete his sentence,
the authorities in New Haven will
look after him. He is wanted in that
city for a series of like burglaries.

BOY HURT BY
LOCOMOBILE
GETS $7,000
Ralph S. Baldwin, Aged 14, a
Norwalk Boy, Wins Lawsuis
RACING AUTOSTRUGK HIM
Large Verdict Against Loco
mobile Company of America
by N. Y. Court.
Ralph S. Baldwin, of Norwalk, who
had his right leg badly fractured by
being struck by the car which Joe
Tracey was driving in the Vanderbilt
Cup race on Long Island, on October
6th, 1906, recovered a verdict of $7,000
against the Locomobile Company of
America before Justice Garretson, in
the Queens County Supreme Court at
Long Island City recently. The action
which was for $25,000 damages, was
brought in the name of the boy's
father. Dr. William H. Baldwin, as
guardian.
In addition to the erdict for the boy
the jury also gave the father $1,000
for expenses incurred in medical treat
ment. At the time of the accident,
it was alleged by the plaintiff that
Tracey's car skidded out of the course
at one of turns and bowled over a
crowd of spectators.
Among the crowd was young Bald
win, who with his father and a num
ber of friends had gone to Long Is
land to see the race. As a result of
the accident it was testified that the
boy's leg is three-quarters of an inch
shorter than normal and that in con
sequence he is developing curvature
of the spine.
Young Baldwin was struck at the
East Norwich turn, where there were
many Norwalk people, this being the
favorite place of the Norwalk con
tingent, which was a large, one, for
seeing the race. The skidding of
Tracey's big ninety horse power rac
er as the driver attempted to make a
sharp turn to the left, caused much
excitement, as the course was lined
with ispectators. Tracey's ar, be
side side-swipping the boy, had a nar
row escape from going into a. telegraph
pole, but was not damaged. After a
brief stop, the intrepid driver whirled
away again into the race.
When young Baldwin was picked up,
it was seen that he was very seriously
injured, for the bone protruded
through the flesh and had stuck into
the dirt of the road. Accidents being
feared because of the likelihood of the
cars leaving the road, and especially
at the turns, and the anxiousness of
the people to get as close as possible
to the track, ambulances were sta
tioned along the way. East Norwich
was considered one of the danger
points and an ambulance was close
by.
Master Baldwin was hustled aboard
the hospital vehicle, and it was pro
posed that he be hurried away to the
Mineola hospital. The ambulance
physicians, it was said, maintained
that the foot should be amputated.
The boy's uncle. Dr. A. H. Baldwin,
and his father. Dentist Baldwin, were
at the scene. The uncle-physician in
sisted that there was a chance of sav
ing the foot and the lad was made as
comfortable as possible and brought
across the sound on a steamboat,
which had taken a large part of the
Norwalk race enthusiasts over.
Master Baldwin had a hard time of
it for many weeks, and at one stage
while it was thought he was recover
ing nicely, tetanus or lock-jaw, set
in, but was overcome.
FUNERAL OF JAMESCOYNE
The funeral of James Coyne, one
of the best known of the older Irish
residents of East Bridgeport, was held
this morning from his late home, 383
Pembroke street, at 9 o'clock and
from St. Mary's church half an hour
later. Many relatives and a large
gathering of friends, including a
number of the oldest East Bridge
porters, assisted at the solemn high
mass of requiem. Rev. Father John
F. Murphy, pastor of St. Mary's, was
the celebrant of the mass, Father
Mulcahy deacon, and Father McDon
ald sub-deacon. The bier was sur
rounded by a wealth of handsome
floral offerings, a silent tribute from
an exceptionally large number of
friends. As the body was borne into
the church, the quartet of St. Mary's
choir rendered, "Thy Will Be Done."
At the offertory Joseph Clabby sang,
"Ave Maria," and a the end of mass,
"Beautiful Land cn High." As the
casket was carried from the church
the quartet sang, "Nearer, My God,
to Thee." The pall bearers were
James Feeley, James A. McGuinness,
James H. O'Rourke, Christopher
Finnegan, Thomas Kane and James
Glennon. Accompanied by an un
usually lengthy cortege, the remains
were taken to St. Michael's cemetery

Baltimore, May 13. A severe trem

seismograph at the Johns Hopkins
University at 3:39 a. m. today. Dr.
Fielding Reid. in charge, said the. line
wavered continually for a consider
able period of time and at 3:39 a
considerable displacement of the

Albany, May 13. The seismograph
at the state museum registered an
earthquake at 3:15 this morning. The
shock lasted for about two hours, the
mamixum movement being at 3:35.
It was of distant origin, possibly
Scuth America.
Cleveland, May 13. Father Oden
bach of St. Ignatius College today re
ported an earthquake which he be
lieves must have taken place in South
America, probably Costa Rica. If his
geographical estimate is correct.
Father Odenbach says the record in
dicates a more severe quake than that
which devastated that country a short
time ago. The main shock occurred
at 2:2 1-42 a. m., and the maximum
disturbance at 2:42.

PROBLEMS WITH VIEW OF .
CARING FOR AGED AT HOME
(By a Staff Correspondent of the
United Press.)
Berlin, May 13. Colonel Roosevelt to
day gave further evidence of an inten
tion to apply himself to social prob
lems, particularly the care of the help
less aged, when he returns to Amer
ica' .
Today he followed up his recent in
vestigation of the Danish National
Home of Old People, conducted while
he was in Copenhagen, by visiting the
local poorhouses, homes for old and
insane asslums. The trip was made
in an automobile and under the guid
ance of the Burgomaster. Today's
visits were not on the original plan
but were substituted for the social
visits planned. The Colonel declared
that he was greatly interested in the
problem of caring for the aged and
those, who through no fault of their
own, have failed in life's straggle.
Roosevelt gathered all available sta
tistics on this subject here today and
announced that he would do tne oame
w-hen he reached London, with a view
to making a comparative study of the
question as presented in Europe and

Echoes of the much discussed ab

to two years in state's prison for the
crime, were heard today in the di
vorce suit of Ralph M. Becker of
Madison avenue, an employe of the

often been complainfng about being
tied down in the house with a three
year old boy, that she wanted to be
cut having a good time. "She wanted
nice clothes," said Becker, "but my
wages at that time could not stand
it." On Sept. S, 1904, she brought
her little son to the home of her hus

MODERN PHILIP
OF MAGEDON IS
IN SAD PLIGHT
Immigration Authorities Threaten
o Shatter all His Air 'Castles
PRETTY BRIDE AWAITS NEWS
Denies He is Penniless and
Tubercular-Alderman and t
Lawyers Help Him
Philip Constantino, a handsome
young Macedonian whose boast is that
he traces his lineage back to the days
of Philip of Macedon, is preparing M
give battle worthy of his illustrious
namesake to the Immigration authori
ties who threaten a most unseemly
end to Philip's pretty love story.
Though detained in Lakeview home
by the Charities department, held as
a victim of the great white plague,
Philip says he is not suffering from
tuberculosis, and he is preparing with
the assistance of Alderman Thomas
Stewart of the Ninth district and At
torney John J, Phelan, his counsel,
to prove bis claim.
Awaiting the outcome of the strug
gle with even more interest than Phil
ip is a pretty young Grecian girl
whom he married less than a year
ago in her home in Macedonia, for if '.
the cruel edict of the immigration
authorities is carried out, it means
the shattering of the pretty air cas
tles the two have been building sine
childhood. x
Philip bade his childhood sweetheart
farewell six years ago, came to Amer-
ica and started to make his fortune
He secured steady employment, saved
his money, sent for his younger broth
er, and together the two did mtSL
About a year ago he returned to Mace
donia, married his childhood sweet
heart, and after a short honeymoon,
returned here to amass a little more
money to insure her a comfortable
home.
Two months ago he was stricken
with severe pains in his right hip. H
went to the Galen, Dr. Wright's pri
vate hospital in Lafayette street, an.i
remained there several weeks, then
went to the Bridgeport hospital. He
thought it part of the custom of the
country to provide a free hospital for
stricken workmen, and did not realize
the danger he incurred in becoming a
city charge.
Doctors of the city diagnosed his
case as a tubercular joint of long
standing. The board of charities at
once began deportation proceedings
learning that he had landed in New
York less than a year ago, snd had
become a public charge. After ail the
formalities had been complied tith
and everything was in readiness flter
nis deportation tne patient wa
was re-
ee
moved from the Bridgeport
to the Lakeview hr me wher
still under treatment but t? vole to
leave, as he is detained practically a
prisoner.
He sent for his brother, and his
former employer, Alderman Fletcher,
and disclosed the fact that he and
his brother have several hundreds f
dollars. If he can show that he is
in no danger of being a public charge
he won't be deported. He claims that
he can get several physicians to tes
tify that he is suffering merely from
rheumatism of the hip, and that his
affliction is only temporary due to
exposure in his work as a plasterer.
Attorney Phelan has taken up the
matter with the immigration author
ities and asked that a date be set
for a hearing, if they are not con
vinced with the statement of facts he
makes in his petition.
