HE DOUBLE BEACH SUICIDE,
Medical Examiner Is Trying to
 Get at the Facts.

Many Conflicting Stories About the Dead Woman-In Company With Companions She Had Been Around l the Shore for Some Time-It Has Been Said Her Male Companion Is Yale Student.
 Branford, July 26.--Medical Exam iner Gaylord is conducting an examin-
 ation to-day into the death of the
 young woman at the Double Beach
 house last night. The investigation at this hour has not been completed,
 but it is said there is no question that
 the girl died as a result of carbolic acid, self-administered.
 Conflicting stories are afoat as to the identity of the girl and the cause
 of the deed. 1t is now said that the
 name "Etta Cook" was fictitious and that the real name of the victim is
 Daisy Dolan. One report has it that the girl became infatuated with the
 man with whom she went to the shore;
 that he was a Yale student, and was
 to return to his home in Atlanta, Ga,
 to-day; that the girl could not endure
 the prospective separation and deter
 mined to end it all.
 The young woman, with the young
 man, has been along the Branford coast much of late, always in an au- tomobile. Last night the two were accompanied by another couple, a
 Miss Carter, a New Haven nurse, it | is said, and man by the name of
 Williams. The identity of the vic tin's male companion has not been publicly ascertained. A report had it that his name was Estelle, and that he was a student at Yale university. In- quiry in New Haven. however, fails to reveal this name in the university catalogue.
 As soon as Dr Gaylord has complet- ed his examination the body of the girl will be taken to New Haven.

ATTACKED BY HUGE DOCS
Former Brooklyn Woman Died
 from the Injuries.

The Great Dane Dogs Were Guarding
 the Country Home of the Husband l of the Woman-The Dogs Had Been Starved for Two Days ito Make l Them Docile-When the Woman ] Went to the Kennel to Feed Them They Attacked Her, and Were With Difficulty Driven Away,
 New York, July 26.-Mme Edmond | Semp1s, who before her marriage a year ago was Miss Louise Rutherford
 of Brooklyn, has been set upon, says a Paris dispatch to the World by two hunger-mad great dane dogs, which had been secured to guard her huS-
 bands country house at Annecy lake, and so terribly injured that she died two hours. after the attack.
 M. Sempis is a prominent business
 man ill Paris. His home at Annecy
 lake is isolated, and following a recent attempt by burglars to enter the place, he purchased two powerful great danes as guards.
 The dogs proved so ferocious that they were confined in an iron enclOS-
 ure during the day time for the safety of, the family. M. Sempis was advised to starve them, so that when food was given to them they would remember kindly their benefactors. So they had nothing to eat for two days.
 Mime Sempis did not accompany her husband and their guests who started for drive to Aix les Bains. She no ticed the dogs while she was walking in the yard, and knowing that they had been without food, determined to feed them, as they were apparently quiet. She ordered the cook to prepare bowl of meat and carried it to the kennel, the woman accompanying her. The instant Mime Sempis entered the iron inclosure the dogs leaped upon her like hungry tigers and bore her to the ground. She vainly sought to defend herself. Her struggles apparently maddened the animals all the more. The coachman heard the screams of Mime Sempis and the cook ran to the stable and procuring pitchfork. fought the brutes into corner and kept them there until the cook sum- moned neighbors and carried Mime Sempis from the inclosure in dying condition. She died in few minutes after M. Sempis and his guests re- turned from their drive.

hlLLED A SA1-EMP A PEW w.
 Stratford, July 26.-''Tabasco,o the pet cat of the household of pr H. M Knapp, Stratford's leading physician, has been slain by clergyman, and angry words have passed between the two men. The Rev Cyrus H. Stin- son, who killed the cat, is pastor of the foremost Congregational church of Stratford, and Dr Knapp's family are among the more prominent of the pa- rishioners. Recently the parson pro- cured a rife. He had suffered the loss of several fancy fowl ana his troubles were due to a number of cats which roamed about the premises and lay in wait for the chickens. Thursday the clergyman spied Dr Knapp's cat stealthily moving towards the hen nery. Running into the house for his gun, he blazed away. He had the satisfaction of seeing the object of his aim bound into the air badly wounded When the cat came back Dr Knapp found it so badly injured that he helped it out of it's misery. Then he sought out the minister and demanded an explanation. The meeting is said to have had the result that pr. Knapp and lss family will no longer attend MT StSnSOn'S church

 Judge Warner of Woodbury was in town to-day and when approached by a Democrat reporter regarding his pro- posed automobile route between Wa terbury and Woodbury, he begged to be excused and got out of reach in a hurry, evidently anxious to avoid being questioned about scheme which is not likely to materialize. It is a pity, after all the eloquence that has been used in furtherance of trolley or auto mobile connection between these two towns by Judge Warner, M. F. Skelly and Thomas Kelly that it should ap- pear as far off now as ever Judge Warner fights as shy of the question now as Tom Kelly does of the Jewelry street extension matter, which he predicted would be put through under the regime of Mayor Barlow.

CRIES OF FAKE NOW.
What Is Being Said After the Big
 Punching Match.

Punching Match.
 San Francisco, July 26-Now that the Jeffries- -Fitzsimmons contest for the worlds championship is over, the cry of fake" has been raised though without Justification in the opinion of referee Graney. George Siler and the majority of other sporting men who witnessed the contest. A communica- tion sent to Mayor Schmitz before the light, to be opened after it was ended. stated that the writer had been in- formed that Jeffries was to win in the eighth round. which he did. The mayor has stated that if the charge that the contest was a pre-arranged af- fair cannot be disproved he will be compelled to prohibit such exhibitions hereafter. Referee Graney says: "I think the contest was legitimate. From a referees standpoint the fight was as near perfect as fight could be. There were no fouls-not even a semblance of a foul. had to caution them once, but this was not for anything that either did to the other, but for their pumping into me. It was the great est fight I ever saw and doubt if there will ever be another like it''
 II of the fight being a fake,'' said William Delaney. .There never was fight in which there was less reason to doubt that it was being fought on the square"
 Jeffries said: "Of course the fight was on the square. It is ridiculous to fought hard fight the gamest ever csny In 1ho, o,.H oJ1 +1,o I when I got in the deciding blow on him he was taken off his guard. After I had my eye cut Delaney told me to would be blinded and would be unable to keep on fighting"
 Flitzsimmons is equally emphatic in his assertion that it was hard fought, legitimate battle.
 George Siler said of the fight that Bob Fftzsimmonss although beaten. proved conclusively that. he is, or rather was, the greatest fighter that ever stepped into an American prize ring.
 The Chronicle this morning says: tsThere was no taint or suspicion com ing from any quarter that tke contest was not strictly fair and the best man won. Surely no other encounter of the kind ever waged combined all the good qualities of that fought last evening" :"
 The Call says: For seven rounds Robert Fitzsimmons made a pitiable spectacle of the young Hercules from the south and then fell under just such a blow as that with which he won the worlds championship from Corbett at Carson in 1S97''
 Jeffries will receive so per cent and Robert Fitzsimmons 40 per cent of 1923, ,910, which is 75 per cent of the gate receipts of the fight, $31, ,SSS0 hav- ing been received through sale of seats. Jeff will receive $14.346 and Fitzsim- mons $9,564. The share of the San Francisco Athletic club is $7,970. Out of this it must pay the expenses of the fight. ipeluding $500 for the referee.
 Jeffries' manager, Delaney, referring to the champions future plans, said: s'We will consider the challenge of Cor bett and determine whether or not it is reasonable. I don't know what his is. If he means business we will meet him and will take care of him. Jeff is young and strong and has no inteneion of quitting the ring.'
