t Stamford, July With the. posssi
jTjiUty of Important developments fol
lowing the expected resumption, this
j afternoon, of Coroner John J. Pfae
jlan's inquest on the - death of Waldo
fR. Ballou, Interest in the case, which
has been Quiescent for the list few
days, became keen again today.
In view of the announced decision
of her counsel, Judge N. C. Downs,
that he would not permit, lire. Helen
M Angle, who is under bonds In con
nection with the, investigation, to tes
tify before the coroner, either pub
licly or privately, the , chief evidence
at today's proceedings was expected
to be the report of the chemists on
their analysis of the various stains
.found on the walls and floor of Mrs.
KAjigle'g 'apartments.
j Ballou was found dying of a frac
! tared skull about . midnight .Tune 23
at the - entrance to the building in
which Mrs. Angle lived. He . had
called on her that evening.
Before the majaest Judge Downs re
ftorated his determination not to allow
Ilia cHnt to give testimony, f She is in
a highly nervous sbate and. if permit-,
ted to talk; mfght say something which
would, not be to her advantage should
! the case go further according to- Judge
Downs. Re also re-stated his belief
I that no Blgnittcanice wasvfo to at
tached to ray blood stains found ' in
the Angle apartments. He still holds,
, lie said, that Ballou met death through
a flail and in any event hfs injury was
received outside of Mrs. Angle's

CHAMBERLAIN
BRITISH LEADER,
DEATH'S VICTIM
Succumbs to Paralysis From
Which He Has Suffered
Since 1906
HIS AMERICAN WIFE
WITH HIM TO END
Statesman Was Pioneer of
Tariff t Reform Idea In
Great Britain ; J
. LtHidtm, July 8. Joseph . Chamber
lain, (prominent for. many' " years as a
leader in British politics died here
last -night. Death came as surprise,
as the. condition of his health was not
publicly known to be any worse than
at any time in the past two or three
years. - '
Mrs. Ohamberfain. who . was the
daughter of the late William C. Endl
cott, , of Miaseachusette, secretary, of
war In jpresident Cleveland's 'cabinet,
has never left her husband's side since
he was strioken with paralysis seven
years ago and - she and. her stepson,
Austen Chamberlain, were with him
when death occurred. ''
Mr. Chamberlain's last public ap
pearance was at a garden party on
the grounds of hie Birmingham home
on May 6 last when, with his wife and
son, he received several hundred con
stituents? Mr. Chemberlaln was
wheeled out on the lawn and appeared
very emaciated and feeble when he
lifted his hat . to friends and. neigh
bors in acknowledgment of their sa
lutes? v; '
v The cause of Mr Chamfberlaln's
death was officially announced today
to have been heart failure. Although
he had been gradually sinking since
Tuesday the members of the family
had preferred that his desperate Coh-
known.
: Joseph Chamberlain was Che pioneer
In Great Britain of tariff reform, and
the great advocate . of Imperialism.
For thirty-eight years, - with a brief
interregnum, he represented Birming
ham in Parliaments In, 1S06 his career
of stormv activities was endfeds t-y a
stroke of paralysis., The -4lc-w fell
when lie vnas -In the mJds of a stren
uous campaign for the - establishment
of a protective tariff with . preference
for the. British colonies, and Just af
ter his constituents had celebrated the
thirtieth, anniversary of his first elec
tion. . . .. ' '
Since that day the strong'- fighter
trad been arv invalid, a pathetic on
looker at -the political game, pictured
always with his loyal wife. His chief
consolations were the growing politi
cal - prominence of " his son, Austen
Chamberlain,' and . the - loyalty of his
constituents. Birmingham would not
dispose her leader, although he was no
longervable to represent her upon the
floor of the Rouse of, Oomraona . In
each election he was returned to hie
old seat, and appeared afterward In
the house but once, where-, amid re
spectful silence, he made his way to
the speaker's desk , on the arm of bis
son and took the oath of office. Jan
uary 6, . 1013. Mr. Chamberlain wrotej
to his constituents,- resigning his seat,"
and- saying: ; ' . ' x .
"I cannot hope again to do my work
in Parliament, and I feel that our city
and the constituency need the services
of a younger man."
While this greatest claim to fame
was his determined -and brilliant ad
vocacy for years of a protective policy
for Great Britain, the citadel of free
trade, : he will . also be remembered as
the bitterest and most forceful op-po-nent
of Glad atone In that statesman's
efforts for Home Illule for Ireland; as
one of the founders of the DJberal
nionist party; and as .the minister
whose policy In South .-Africa involved
hie country in the greatest war it had
experienced since the Crimean con
flict, but blotted out the two Boer re
pub lice and 'made South Africa "all
red." '
From ' the day he left University
College, London, to enter his father's
screw factory at Birmingham, Joseph
Chamberlain devoted his best enegies
ta "the principle of constructive re
form." It was in 1988. Just - 32 years
after his birth in London, that, he re
ceived his baptism of public life, as
town councilor of. Birmingham, later
serving as mayor for successive terms.
He gave his whole time to the cause
of municipal reform, and what had
been previously one of the worst gov
erned cities In England, - became a
model for municipal reformers. ,
In 17S he entered Parliament, be
ing elected without opposition as ' a
Liberal from Birmingham. In his
early years in the Commons he sat
among the Home Rule Liberals with
whose aspirations he was supposed
to sympathize, but a few years later
he emphatically disabused his associ
ates in the House of any notion they
may have had of his belief in separate
government for Ireland.
In less than four years he was a
cabinet minister, entering Gladstone's
government in 1880 as President of
the Board of Trade, and in less than
a decade his hold on popular opinion
was almost as great as Gladstone's.
After the general election of 1885
he became President of the Local
Government Board, but by the spring
of 188 6 his and Gladstone's relations
on the latter's Irish policy had be
come so strained that he broke with
the great premier, resigned his place
in the cabinet and left the - Liberal
party never to return to it
He, Lord Hartington (afterwards
the Duke of Devonshire), G. J. Go
schen and others high in the Liberal
party who saw in their former lead
er's home rule proposals and propa
ganda a menace to the Integrity of
the empire, formed a new party to
resist them. They called themselves
Liberal Unionists and anti-home rule
was, in the beginning, their main
tenet." Lord Hartington was the first
leader but, when he was elevated to

LAWYER. IN THIS CITY
Tells Story of Being Drug
v ged and Beaten By a
. Strange Young Man
As the result, of the kidnapping of
Mrs. Delia Nealy Hanson on the even
ing of May .26, when she left her lodg
ings at 648 Broad street to visit a
friend to New York city, the police of
New York today have twelve persons
under arrest upon charges of .white
slavery. Four girls, besides Mrs. Han
son, found in' captivity and., being
brutally treated are held as material
witnesses against a band alleged to be
the worst ever coming to the attention
of the police, who, it Is said, wfll fee
shown to have made a regular busi
ness of entictafcg girls and women mto
a life of shame and later supplying
them to houses of ill-fame In Man
hattan, Brooklyn, .Harlem, Bridgeport
and other towns in New England. Dis
trict Attorney Martin, of Bronx Coun
ty, N. Y., stated today that the arrests
already made are only the toeglmndng
of a clean-up which will extend all
over the country. . v " -i
Investigation in -Bridgeport.- today
showed that Mrs. Hanson had lived
recently at the home of Mrs. James
F. Gateiy. 648 Broad street- She had
occupied one of the upper rooms for
some months' On the morning of May
26, she Informed the family "that she
expected to go to New York' and that
she was going down town to get some
moaey. As she-was in arrears for her
room sent Mrs.' Gateiy accompanied
her to the. office of a prominent law
yer, froni whom she got 825 In a
check. At the bank, the teller refused
to cash the check and It -was necessary
for the lawyer to Identify her.' --
; Mrs. . Hanson then purchased a new
suit of clothes and a hat and returned
to the house. She -is not believed to
nave had a very large sum of money
but calJedX up .the-taxicab, ..service ,t
EtheBbert Hart, and a driver named
"Elmer," according to the inmates of
her former home, called to take her
to the Bridgeport station. Thaf was
the last seen of her In this city.
' It Is stated, however, that "Elmer"
called a week tago last night' at the
house and demanded : her clothing,
which Included, the. new suit' and hat,
which,' for some mysterious reason
she failed to wear in her hurry. to get
to New York. -y
Mrs.- Gateiy refused to give up the
clothing', and the - driver , of - the taxi
went away. ... It Is believed that some
communication between Mrs. HaQson
or her captors and persons in Bridge
port were maintained.
; At the rooms, of Mrs. Hanson last
night, It . was disclosed that she was
very Intimately acquainted with -the
proprietor of a " New " York, saloon
named Albert Carson living In the,
Bronx, that she bad . left hurriedly
from Bridgeport and that she was
formerly a domestic working 'in New
Torkcity. , Her dress suit case was
but partly packed.
At the offices of the lawyer who
furnished her with funds. It was stated
that the payment .was made upon be
half of a client to settle the claims
made 'by Mrs. Hanson In connection
with a suit she was about to bring in
the courts, the notoriety of which
would have been very unpleasant.
,' The history of the kidnapped wo
man In this city had "been filled with
many episodes that brought her to the
attention of the police. - She is the
daughterof . Patrick Neely, employed
as a fireman in the works of the U.
M. C. Co. She was , married ,to John
Hanson, a mechanic, who later, died
in the Shelton sanitarium after he
had become estranged from his wife.
The couple had four children, two of
whom are said to be in the county
home in ; Norwalk, one with a sister
of her former husband or River street,
and another one boarding on South
avenue. , ' ' '
She lived- for some time with a fam
ily named W llmot on Broad street, hut
prior to that had for two years been I
a housekeeper for Sheriff Thomas F.
Hamilton on Arch street. On many
occasions she became inebriated -to
such an extent that she' created a dis-1
turbance' and was placed under re
straint by the police.
It was only recently that she as
saulted a prominent man on Golden
Hill street and prior to that time was
forcibly removed from the Hamilton
household ..owing to a disturbance
while employed there as a domestic"
Her record at headquarters discloses
arrests on February.- 10, 1910, for
breach of the peace, and July 25, 1810,
for a similar offence. ' Both times sb,e
Jumped ball. On October 28,- 1910,
she was fined $15 and worked out her
fine in Jail. On August 12, 1913, she
was held for investigation and turned
over to the charity department and
pn April 11, 1914 she was apprehend
ed for disturbance but discharged 'by
the superintendent of police.
The prisoners arrested .in New York
city yesterday were arraigned before
County Judge Gibbs in the Bronx. All
were held when Mrs. Hanson had re
told her story.
Mrs. . Hanson, who is twenty-nine
years old, - went to New York to seek
a place as a mail. Alighting from a
train at . One Hundred and Twenty-
fifth . street, she lost her way. She
says a polite young man offered to
guide her, but drugged her when she
consented to take- a soft drink with ;
him. '
She remembered nothing more un
til she found herself in a park, her
clothes torn almost off. , She went t
a coffee house for a cup of coffee. -

not left me. The men took possession
of . me and literally forced' me to a
house on Morris avenue," she -continued.
Mrs. Hanson says she was fearfully
beaten in this house, . where men fre
quently called. She was taken from
there, she declares, to a house in One.
Handred ana orty-sixxn street, iw

was taken to a house in One Hundred

- It was in this house that Mrs.' Han

Marshal John C. Hoeffling, who had
gone to serve a dispossess notice. The
house was locked from cellar to roof.
The marshal broke down a door and
found the woman alone 'in the house.
She had been stripped of her cloth

Next the detectives went to Masil

cement, and complete and . scientific
methods are provided to assure the

But the Warrenite contracts call the
asphalt "Warrenite cement," and
