Diving of Her Wounds.

Bridgeport, April 2S.-Mrs. Mary Pu-
ollie, who was shot by her lover, Charles
Kotropski, two weeks ago. is dying at
the hospital here, and the local author
tiles are trying to obtain from her an
ante-mortem statement in regard to
the tragedy. But the woman insists
that she will recover and therefore, al
though the attending physicians say
that her death is only a question of
hours, her statement will not be ad-
missible in court as evidence, because
it was not made when death was be-
lieved to be certain. This places Coro-
ner Doten in quandary.

WILL SURPRISE THE WORLD
GREAT BRITAIN HAS BEEN DOING
QUIET YORK IN Esq UIM1ULT.

Vast Quantities of Ammunition and War
Material Has Been Shipped There in
Small Shipments at Time-Expendi-
ture Has Been Enormous.
Halifax, April 2S.-A we'll informed
British army officer stated to a United
Press representative to-day that the
strengthening and equipment of the
military and naval station at Esqui-
mault, B. c., has been going on very
quietly for some time. This was now,
he said one of the most powerful and
important naval stations in any part
of the British empire. Vast quantities
of ammunition and war material of all
kinds had been accumulated there IN
small shipments at time. The foru-
fications were very extensive and as
impregnable as time, patience and sci
ence could make them.
The expenditure at this station had
been tremendous and it was evidently
the intention of the war department
and admiralty to make this place the
stronghold of the Pacific.
The officer said it was not generally
known, but it was true that there were
a very large number of engineers at
Esquimault The works and fort1dca-
tions of Esquimault would surprise the
world when their extent and import be-
came known

Confidence.
That New Haven has a wide awake
baseball club the most exacting skeptic
cannot deny. The clever work of the
home boys in all the games they have
played demonstrated this. The game
yesterday was replete with fine pitch
ing, clever catching and team work
such as has never before been seen on
a New Haven ball field.
Hartford was outplayed at every
point. The New Haven team has re-
gained it's confidence and the way they
went at Hartford yesterday was a
pleasing sight for the home rooters.
Garvin pitched mastery game and his
shoots and drops kept the Hartford
batters guessing. 1t may safely be
said that the New Haven people will
heartily support any club that has
shown the zeal, the energy and snap
that the present club that represents
New Haven on the ball field has evil
denced
Manager Sullivan has shown the peo-
pie of New Haven that there was no
collusion between himself and Umpire
Jones in the calling of the game Satur-
day as he had Jones dismissed from the
staff for calling the game. Those peo-
pie who are always ready to imputc
a wrong motive to every act-will Sc.
by this how Manager Sullivan felt
about the act on Saturday.
New Haven scored two runs in the
first inning and shut the Hartfords out.
In the third inning the visitors made
the score to in their favor. New

fifth, when, with the bases full, OLA

rolled to the fence, and all four runners
came in, making the score 8 to in IA
