New York by the immigration author
tiles of Mrs Rachela Di Guiseppi and
her S-years-old daughter, Carmela,
who landedA there recently from Italy.
but owing to some ailment In one of
Mrs Guiseppi's eyes, the authorities
refused to allow her to proceed on
their way to Waterbury, where her
husband lives. They threatened to
send them back, but before they had
time to move In the matter, the wo-
mans husband. who works at the SEQ

GAYNOR ACTS.
Supreme Court Justice OPP.
posed to Acts. of Oppres-
sion by Police.

New York, June 10.-In granting a
permanent injunction restraining a
police captain from stationing officers
in cafe near Washington market for
the ostensible purpose of preventing
gambling on the premises, Justice
Gaynor Of the supreme court has
handed down a decision denouncing
what he calls acts of oppression as
commonly practiced by the police. He
was particularly severe In denouncing
the captain in question whose action
he declared to be " outrageous Grim
inal lawlessness."
After finding that the captain had
absolutely no grounds for suspectfng
that gambling existed on the prem
ises but had persisted in stationing
men on the premises to drive away
customers without even having con-
suited magistrate, Justice Gaynor
continued:
':It Is by methods such as these that
millions of dollars have been extorted
annually in the city of New York and
police officials have been enabled to
retire, one after another. with great
wealth.
His (the captain's) acts clearly con-
stitute the crime of oppression. and It
is fortunate that they have not pro-
voked violence and even bloodshed.
for the plaintiff has the right to resist
them with all the force necessary.
I'VE read of such official conduct In
Europe and profess to be astonished
over 1t, but we have had more Of 1t in
the city of New York for the last
twenty-five years, and especially dur
ing the last eight or nine years, than
there has been in any other place in
the civilized world
"Such police lawlessness is FAR more
dangerous than all the gambling and
other vices combined. 1t brings In its
train all Of the vices. and debases
government and society. The law can
be effectually and permanently en-
forced only in lawful. orderly and
uniform manner"

Of Mrs. Sherman Beeman.

Winsted, June 10-C Coroner Higgins

into the death of Mrs Sherman Bee
man, who was shot by her husband In
Canaan on Memorial day, though he
may examine one or two other Witness
es later. Beeman, who is in the hos
pital, is daily growing stronger and will
probably recover from the bullet
wounds inflicted in his attempt to kile
himself over the body of his wife.
Miss Edith Colby, q sister of Mrs
Beeman, was one of the witnesses ex-
amined by the coroner. She told of
domestic troubles In the Beeman fam
lily, and said she was present on last
New Years eve when Beeman and his
wife parted. She said Beeman re-
turned from the village where he had
been drinking, and got into a quarrel
with his wife. In his anger, he kicked
over a table, threw a lamp to the floor
and smashed a window His wiEe and
her sister fed to the West Cornwall au-
thorities and made complaint about
him. Miss Colby said she once heard
him threaten to kill his wife with an
axe On May 30, Miss Colby and Mrs
Beeman were at the railroad station in
Canaan intending to go to Ashley Falls
when they saw Beeman get off the
overlook them and asked his wife to
go home with him. She refused and
he followed the two women to the
Ives residence, where Miss Colby is
employed. All the way to the house
he held on to his wife's wrist Miss
Colby went into the dining room to
speak to Mrs Ives and heard a pistoi
shot in the kitchen, whereupon she
ran up stairs and hid herself
Mrs Ann S. Ives, who is over 20
years old. told the coroner that after
several shots had been fred, Beeman
came into the dining room where she
was and putting his left hand on her
shoulder, twice asked her to kiss him
goodbye. In his right hand he still
held the revolver. Mrs Ives advances
Colby apparently seeing his mis-
take, he turned and went back to the
kitchen, where he again shot himsels
and fell on the corps of hfs wife.
Edward Smith. who works in a gro
Gerry store in West Cornwall said that
Beeman bought carbolic acid there on
April IS. 1t is supposed that this was
the bottle which Beeman had with him
and fell on the corpse of his WIFE
Charles Bushey of West Goshen, the
father of Mrs Beeman, testified that
he saw Beeman last FEBRUARY ana
that Beeman said that If his wife did
not come back to him he would kill
her The coroner learned that the wo-
man had begun divorce proceedings a
few weeks ago on the ground Of intol-
erable cruelty.
Daniel Pierce, retired lime manu-
facturer. at whose house in Canaan
Mrs Beeman was employed, said that
on a previous occasion when Beeman
came to the village in search of his
wife, learned of 1t by telephone and
hid IN the Pierce house. When Bee
man called he was informed that she
had left town.

Named Him To-Day Has

Will Resign From the
Cabinet.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10. -- AN
nouncement has been made by the
Republican leaders that Attorney Cen
eraI Philander G. Knox has been
agreed upon as the successor to United
States Senator M. S. Quay
Just before Attorney General Knox
left Washington few days ago he
called on the president and told him
that he had been rendered the appoint
ment of United States senator to sue
ceed Mr.. Quay and tlsat IL the presi-
dent was willing he would accept The
president told him that while it was
true that probably no other man In the
country could quite fill the position OF
attorney general as he had filed it, yet
he believed that his services would be
exceptionally valuable not only to the
state OF Pennsylvania but to the whole
country.
The president said that during the
next session or two of congress it was
q fair assumption that there would be
considerable constructive legislation on
the subject Of trusts and combinations
of one character or another and in that
matter Mr.. Knox would be of greater
service than perhaps any other man
could be.
The president is greatly pleased that
Mr.. Knox will accept the position. The
latter probably will not resign as at
torney general until congress convenes
next December

PLANS FOR DEPARTURE.

st Petersburg, June 10 (4:14 p. m.l--
There is reason to believe that the
plans for the departure of the Porr
Arthur squadron in the event that the
fall of the fortress becomes imminent
have been completed. They involve the
cooperation of the Vladivostok squad
ron. After the blockading fleet has
been engaged the uninjured Russian
ships will effect juncture with the
yladivostok squadron and make their
way to yladivostok. The fact that the
Korean straits are mined and guarded
by a Japanese torpedo boat hotilla,
which has been established to the sat
isfaction of the admiralty here, greatly
increases the difficulty of the opera
tion. but the Russians probably will
prefer to take chances of : getting
through than making 1000 mile jour
ney around Japan. The attempt may
occur at the first favorable opportuni-
ty. The squadron is useless for the
defense Of Port Arthur, while il pre-
served entire or in major portion even
the fall of Port Arthur would be
robbed of much of its Importance, from
the standpoint of Russia's future plans.
The repairs to the Russian battleship
pobieda are now practically completed.
