DEATH TAKES
SON OF CLERK
W. T. HAVILAND
Talented Boy Of Ten Victim Of
Automobile Accident
At St. Vincent's Hospital, last night,
Tallmadge B. Haviland, the eldest son
of William T. Haviland, clerk of the
Superior Court, finally succumbed -to
the fearful injuries he had sustained
in an accident on Sunday.
The accident which was the cause
of his death was a collision between
the boy who was riding a bicycle
along Fairfield avenue, and the auto
of Albert W. Langenegger, superin
tendent of George C. Batcheller Corset
Company. The accident, it is admit
ted by all, was unavoidable, since the
swerving1 of the wheel and the auto
was caused by the slimy mud under
the railroad viaduct at Fairfield ave
nue, long a menace to travellers.
The boy's skull was fractured and
he was rushed to St., Vincent's Hos
pital Immediately, one of New York's
most eminent specialists, Dr. Charles
H. Peck, was summoned and he made
a record trip to this city, where he
operated upon the patient in an effort
to relieve the pressure on the brain.
The hoped-for relief did not come,
and without once rallying from a
comatose sate, the boy passed away
last evening. ,
Tallmadge was a most likeable lit
tle fellow and a great favorite among
both teachers and schoolmates at
taplewood school, where he was a
pupil. He had shown remarkable apti
tude for his studies and was; in the
fifth grade, though but ten years of
age. .
He leaves besides his parents, a
brother Paul, who is 7 years old, and
a sister, Louise, aged 6. Mr. and Mrs.
Haviland have the sincere sympathy,
not only of their friends, but of the
entire community, because of the un
expected severing, of the life of one,
who was beloved by all who knew
him.
PRESIDENT WILSON
READS HIS MESSAGE
(Continued from Page 1.) .
a misunderstanding continued, the
President asserted that this nation
"could only await the time of their
awakening to a realization of the rea
facts." y
"The situation," declared the Presi
dent, "must be given a little more
time to work itself out in the new cir
cumstances." He then outlined the position this
government should take." - Concluding
his address, the President ' predicted
that the steadying presence of moral
force "will ' before many .days break
the barriers of pride and prejudice
down and we shall triumph as" Mexi
co's friends sooner than we could tri
umph as" her, enemies." , . , .
Senoi Qambpa's note, which was ap
pended to the "President's address as
an exhibit, was not read by the Presi
dent but furnished with the' printed
document. .
Every head in the chamber had been
bowed and the solemnity ;of the occa
sion was - impressive as" the House
chaplain, the Rev. Henry D. Mouden,
in his opening prayer said;,
"Rule Thou in . the hearts of our
rulers and sway the minds of these
Thy servants that as a nation we may
move forward to all that is ipure
and noble until all the peoples of all
the world shall recognize the purity
of our motives." "
Although a deafening volley of ap
plause rang out as the President ap
peared, he plunged " into the reading
of his message without delay and with
a bow . of acknowledgement of the
greeting. J-
The President finished reading at
1:21 o'clock. Another great roar cf
applause broke out. All those in the
galleries etood while the President
left the chamber and started back to
the White House.
The joint session at once dissolved,
the House adjourned and the Senate
filed . back , to its side of the capitol. .

prisoner's sanity, but he admits he

Boisver says Thaw is one of the most
difficult individuals he has been called
upon to suit. Thaw has . given the
jailer plenty of trouble over his meals,
being erratic, to say the least, in that
regard. Boisver realized the import
ance of keeping Thaw under strict
guard, for there were many stories of
an alleged plot to deliver the prisoner
from Jail before the courts had a
chance to decide what should be done
with him. . -

A battery of camera men sealed the
judge's bench and snapped the; pris
oner again and' again. The old sheriff,
Aylmer, greeted Thaw cordially. He
appeared to enjoy the attention he
was attracting and laughed outright
at the antics of the photographers.
Now and then he adjusted his gray
striped necktie. The judge entered at

' The ' Court took papers in the case

the court. ' i
"Your Lordship," he said, "since
this petitioner obtained . a writ of
habeas corpus he has filed a notice
of discontinuance, thereby declaring'
that no other proceedings be had in
this course. The action, I believe, is
covered under our code of . civil pro
cedure. Therefore, we stand in the
position of having made no applica
tion for a writ."
Hector Verret, of counsel for New
York state, interrupted the proceed
ings to say that New York state did
not wish the abandonment. ' "I do not
wish to (hear from your side of the
case," said the court. "This is an ex-
parte proceeding."
The court practically sustained
Thaw's lawyers, the crowd in the
courtroom rising to its feet and cheer
ing madly. While the cheering was
at its height the clerk cried Out that
the case was adjourned until 3 o'clock.
SUMNER SUCCUMBS
TO LONG ILLNESS
E. Stewart Sfimner, a member of
the. Fairfield County bar, and one of
the most prominent members of 'the
Masonic fraternity in the state, died
at Falls Village today. Attorney Sum
ner's health had been failing for some
time, and Intimate friends were not
surprised today to learn of his demise,
though the fact that his condition was
critical was not generally known.
Mr. Sumner 'came of a well known
Bridgeport family. His late father was
among the most promising lawyers of
Fairfield county, and he had been en
gaged in ' legat ' practice for many
years. He appeared little In the
courts, however, his legal activities
were In the nature of office practice
at 129 Wall street. .
Mr. Sumner's fraternal association
served him , many opportunities to ex
ploit a gift of rare humor. His an
nouncements of the outings of the
Pyramid Temple, Nobles of the Mystic
Shrine, ' have , been preserved many
years by members and other into
whose possession they have fallen.
He was recorder of Pyramid Tern
pie, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, sec
retary of St. John's lodge, A. F. & A.
M., and a 32d .degree Mason, being
identified with practically all Masonic
orders.
Dr. Charles C. Godfrey - and Mr.
Ferguson of the old Bridgeport furni
