CONTRACT LABOR LAW BROKEN.
Eight Arrests of Tile Manufacturers to
 be Made.

New York, Sept. 24-After eight months of careful preparation the United States district attorney of this district will tomorrow, according to re- liable authority, cause the arrest. of eleven heads of tile manufacturing and contracting concerns of this city on warrants charging them with having conspired, through the medium of an employers association, to violate the contract labor law by the importation of foreign vorknen. The penalty of conviction is fine Of not less than $1,00O nor more than $1O,OOo, or impris- onment for not more than two years.
 It is understood that the department of commerce and labor is directing the prosecution and has, through Its own agents, assisted by operatives of the secret service, prepared the case against the accused. The preparation of the case has involved not only many months of investigation, but also the keeping, since January last, of four men, English tile settlers, at Ellis Isl- and. It is upon the evidence of these four men, backed by an array of cor roborative dispositions, that the gov- ernment chiefly relies.

GREAT BRITAIN WILL

POET SUDDENLY LOOMS UP AS OF GREAT STRATEGIC
 VALUE.

Vast Naval Base to be EstabIished-.
 Looked Upon as the First Tangible
 Result of the New Anglo-Japanese
 Alliance-Considered as Guarding tue
 Gateway to the PaciRc--Extcnsive
 Docks to Be Purchased by the Govern-
 ment Through Arbitration.
 London, Sept 25.-The fact that the British government proposes to estab- fish vast naval base at Singapore. which was announced by the Sunday Observer with the suggestion that this was the first tangible result of the new Anglo-Japanese alliance and the con elusion of the Russo-J Japanese war, af- fords the newspapers an opportunity for discussing subject which was passed without much notice at the time the decision of the government to use Singapore as a base was first announce ed some time ago, when Admiral Fish CT outlined the naval reorganization plan.
 The newspapers now point out the tremendous strategic value of Singa- pore as guarding the gateway to the Pacific, and, when open to Japan's war- ships, as giving Great Britain and Ja- pan the whip hand over the other Eu- ropean countries where the Far East is concerned.
 some of this mornings papers are in-i clined to dwell upon this phase of tho requirement. of Singapore as though just at this timeiit were demonstra- tion of power by Great Britain But the governments intention to purchase the docks at Singapore has been an open secret for many months, and, ac-s cording to a good authority, the British government is simply facing the result of the new strategic situation in the Far East and providing her navy with convenient docks at Singapore, which is the center of the Far East
 The Japanese alliance permitted the withdrawal of five battleships from the China seas, and there is no intention in times of peace to dispatch any battle- ship to the Far East The three cruis- CT groups the China, the East Indies and the Australian squadrons- will re- main as before.
 Meanwhile the extensive docks of the Tanjong Pagar company will be pur- chased at a price to be fixed by the arr bitrators now in the Far East, of which board siI.

sCANT COURTESY SHOWN TO FRANCIS JOSEPH,s ENVOY.

Leaders of Coalition Parties of Hun-
 garian Diet Present written DecIara-
 tion-count Cziraky Takes 1t to the
 Emperor and on Returning With His
 Reply Finds Hungarian Statesmen
 Have Left Without Notice.
 Vienna, Sept. 24.-Count Cziraky, who was yesterday appointed by the king emperor, Francis Joseph to negotiate with the leaders of the coalition parties in the Hungarian diet with a view to the formation of a Hungarian cabinet, had a conference with these leaders to- day at the Hotel Bristol lasting for an hour and a half. It is understood that the count received from them written declaration to the effect that they would be unable to assume the respon- sibility of government on the conditions imposed by his majesty, as these condi- ! tions were directly in opposition to their personal views and also in opposition to the mandate of the people at the last election.
 | Count Cziraky then left the confer ence in order to report to the king -em- peror, promising to return with his majesty's reply. After an audience of the king emperor Count Cziraky re- turned to the hotel and found that Count Julius Andrassy, Count zichy, Baron Banffy and Francis Kossuth had departed for Budapest, and that Count Albert Apponyi, the other representa- tive of the coalition, had gone to Join his family at Weidlingau. This appar- ently brings the negotiations to close.
 It is admitted here that the situation is now worse than ever and Count Cziraky's mission is considered flope- less. Considerable excitement prevails in political circles, and the develop ments of the next few days are anx- ious1y awaited. r

Church Built by H. II. Rogers a Monu-
 ment to Modern MateriaIism.8
 Fairhaven, Mass, Sept. 24.-In an ad- dress at the laying of the cornerstone of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic chapel here to-day, Rev. Father J. c. Cassidy, chancellor of the Fall River diocese, ir- directly referred to the costly Unitarian church which H. H. Rogers of New York and Fairhaven built for the lat ter denomination. While Father Cassi- dy did not mention the new Unitarian church by name, his reference was plainly understood by the English speaking people in the audience, The priest drew a direct comparison be- tween the new chapel and the other new church edifice in this town." He referred to the chapel as q building be- ing constructed with the hard earned pennies of the poor, and the other church as a monument to modern ma terialism, a church expressing the de- nial of the divinity of Christ"
 The new chapel is being built by the fathers of the Sacred Heart, who after being expelled from France, went to Louvain, Belgium. They were invited to come to this diocese by Rt. Rev. Will liam Stang, bishop Fall River, who formerly resided in Louvain. The ground on which the structure is being erected was formerly part of the es- tate of the late Theodore Thomas, the musical conductor. The house on the Thomas estate is now used by the order as 9 monastery.

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING
 IN NEW LONDON HOME 
STEPHEN IT. CROCKER IN HOS PETAL PROBABLY FATALLY
 WOUNDED.

Member of Prominent FamiIy-Armed
 With Two Bottles of Liquor He
 Pushes His Way Into Residence of
 George BindIOss fin Absence of Lat
 ter-Insists That Mrs BindIoss, Her
 Young Daughter and Servant Drink
 With Him-TerrOrized, Mrs. Bindioss
 Gets Her Husbands Revolver and in
 Scufiie Infiicts Serious Wound.
 New London, Sept. 25.-stephen M Crocker, member of well known New London family, is at the Memorial hospital in serious condition as the result of a pistol shot received while he was terrorizing the family of George Bindloss at their home on School street at an early hour this morning.
 About 10 o'clock last night Crocker came to the Bindloss house and when the door was opened in response to his ringing the bell, he pushed his was in past the servant. He brought two bot ties of liquor with him and insisted that the women present, Mrs. Bind loss, Stella Bindlossa, her seventeen year old daughter, and the servan, drink with him. Their refusal anger ed him, and for several hours he had them in state of terror. Mrs. Bind- loss tried to get to the telephone to summon her husband or the police but Crocker prevented her from doing so. Crocker kept up ntS carousal and Mrs. Bindloss at o'clock this morning went to her husbands s room and secured his revolver to protect him in case personal violence was attempted. As she came down the stairs she saw Crocker beat ing her daughter and in her nervous ness the revolver, which she held in her hand, went off. The bullet did not strike Crocker, but 1t attracted his at tention from the girl and he turned on Mrs. Bindloss. Iii struggling with her for possession of the pistol 1t was ex- ploded again and the bullet entered his body under the breast bone and caused a wound that is likely to end his life.
 Crocker was in such a state that he did not know that he was wounded until he discovered that his clothing was affre. He left the house after a short time and went to his home on Ocean avenue, where he collapsed. His father, Edward N. Crocker a proni- nent c. A. R., telephoned the hospital and the wounded man was taken there in the ambulance. When he recovered consciousness this afternoon he said that two tranps shot him. MT. and Mrs. Bindloss went to the police sta- ton and told their story and Prosecut- ing Attorney Whittlesey recognizing it as case of accidental shooting did not require surety from them. Crock CTS condition is considered serious.
 After Crocker was shot he walked into the dining room and sat down. He picked up the revolver, and Miss Margaret Alexander, the servant, tried to take it away from him. He pointed the pistol at her and she put out her right forearm to push the muzzle out of the way. The revolver was fired and the bullet passed through the wom- ans forearm, but fortunately for her it did not strike the bone. Dr. Sul- livan, house surgeon at the hospital, says it will be two or three days be- fore 1t will be possible to state wheth- CT there is any chance of Crockers re- coyery

ROOSEVELT RETURNS ID
 WASHINGTON THIS WEEK
WILL LEAVE OYSTER BAY FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
 SATURDAK.

DevOting Himself at Present to His
 Annual Message to COngress-Three
 Vital Topics to be DIscussed-FederaI
 Regulation and Supervision of Life
 Insurance, Relations With Venezuela
 and American Interest in the Fiscal
 Affairs of San Domingo.
 Oyster Bay, L. l., Sept. 24.-President Roosevelt will complete his summer so- journ at Sagamore Hill and return to Washington next Saturday, the SOth in- stant. The president, Mrs. Roosevelt and members of their family, Secretary and Mrs. Loeb and the members of the executive force will leave here about Il o'clock Saturday morning on special Long Island railroad train. They will go by boat from Long Island City to Jersey City and thence via the Penn- sylvania railroad to Washington, reaching the capital city shortly after o'clock.
 The president is devoting considera- ble time each day now to work on his annual message to congress. For some time he has been assembling data for the message, but since the adjournment of the peace conference he has been writing the data into definite form. The 1SS A6d some time early in November, because each member of the cabinet will have to supply material for discussion of the work of his department. This inforrna- tion will be contained in the annual re- ports of the cabinet officers, which have not been completed.
 Three topics highly important at this time to the American people will be discussed by the president in his mes sage. They. are the federal regulation and supervision of life insurance, the relations between this county and Ven eziela and Americas interests in the fiscal affairs of the government of Sam to Domingo. Other important subjects naturally will be considered, among them the scandals disclosed in the de- partr1lents of agriculture and the in- terior; the work of the department of justice in the beef trust cases; the reg ulatton of. railroad freight rates; the progress made in the construction of l the Panama canal, and the conclusion of peace between Russia and Japan.
 Much of the material for the discus sion of these subjects President Roose- welt now has in hand, and the last days of his stay at sagamore Hill are being devoted to the preparation of the part of his message which will deal with them. Few visitors have been received since. the adjournment of the peace con- ference, the president desiring to be as free as possible from Interruption while working on his message. His last week here is practically devoid of engage ments. No visitors will be received un- less they have important official busi- ness, and the consideration of all mat ters except those of immediate impor- tance is being postponed until the pres ident shall have reached Washington.
 The president attended church as usual to-day, but no visitors were re- ceived.

DRESS SUIT CASE MYSTERY
EFFORTS OF BAY STATE SHER-
 LOCK HOLMEsES FUTILE.

Absolutely No Light on Strange Crime
 Every Clue Run Down without Re-
 sult--PossibiIity That Case May Have
 Been Thrown from Train--West
 End Boston Physician and Wife
 Missing.
 Boston, Sept. 24.-Three days con- tinuous Investigation by the police of the state, of Boston and of Winthrop, reinforced by scores of volunteer searchers, has failed to unravel the puzzling mystery of the dress suit case which was taken from the waters of Winthrop cove last Thursday and which contained the disimembered body of an unknown woman. ......
 At the close of the day endeavors to reach a solution, the police acknowl- edged the futility of their efforts.
 Thus far every clue run down, and there have been n1ans has failed to throw any light on the strange crime, and the police apparently know no more of the perpetrator or of the vic- time than they did on the night the dismembered body was found.
 The search for the missing head, arms and legs of the woman is still being carried on. This inquiry has been confined to Winthrop Cove, and adjacent waters by the police,s but yachtsmen and boatrnen throughout Boston harbor and at nearby beach resorts have been on the lookout Medi- cal Examiner Harrisi expressed the opinion that the missing members may be revealed this week by the action of the tide, assuming that they, too, were thrown into the water. While the police have not abandon ed the theory that the suit case may have been thrown into the water from a rowboat, they are also devoting att tention to the possibility of it's having been cast from a train on the Boston Revere Beach and Lynn railroad which skirts Winthrop Cove, the currents at the most convenient point would nat urally bring @ bundle thrown from a passing train round to the float of the Winthrop yacht club. Inquiries among the conductors and brakemen of the railroad, however, fail to aid the po- lice in this direction, although the of- ficers have been informed that West End physician was seen to board one of the trains last Thursday.
 The physician in question has been missing from his lodgings for over a week and his wife has also disappear ed. They are known to have quar- reled. A witness has been located who states that this doctor asked for a strap as the lock of his dress suit case would not hold. Other neighbors assert that the missing doctor on several oc> 1 casions threatened his wife's life.
 The police to-day found satisfactory | information concerning two young women, whose cases because of certain resembling features, had become asso- | ciated with the mystery. The young women, both of whom had been miss ing, have been found.
 Late tonight one of the state detec- lives learned of 8 man who believes he | can locate a recent owner of the suit case. This informant claims to have seen it carried by a man in the West End of this city within a few weeks.
