 Murder-Accused Chorus Girl.
 Negotiations have been entered into with Attorney James M. Sullivan of this city by New York parties to se- cure his services for the defence of Mrs. Kathryn Neill, charged with having murdered her husband in Greenwich week ago. Mrs. Nell is in New York at present and attempts are being made to get extradition pa pers to bring her back to this state.
 The trial of this woman will prob ably be one of the most sensational ones held In this state for a long time. Nein was at first reported to have died of heart trouble, but an examination by the medical examiner showed a small hole in one eye that had evil dently been made with hat pin.
 Mrs. Neill is an actress. The trial will probably be held in Bridgeport at the next session of the superior court

DEATH OF HENRY HoPKfAS
We'll Known Citizen Passes Away
 Lamp Inspector for Years.

Lamp Inspector 1Or ears.
 After an illness covering a period of
 eighteen months Henry Hopkins, city lamp inspector, died at his home, Il Gamer street, yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. MT Hopkins had been uncon- scious since last Wednesday morning. A few moments before he became un- conscious he dictated to William Schappa, the janitor of city hall and an intimate friend of MT. Hopkins, an obituary notice for the newspapers and gave to MT. Schappa all the arrange ments for his funeral, even to the mum Der of carriages and the names of those who should ride in them. Death was due to diabetes and other complications, and the vitality which he had possessed had been the subject of much discus sion among physicians.
 MT. Hopkins was native of Mont pelier, Vt., having been born in that city February Il, 1858. In the early sixties he came to New Haven and ob- tained practically all of his education at Eaton school. He was for several years much-yalued salesman in the Hub clothing store of former days, on Church street, this city, of which c. P. Jordan, warm personal friend of the deceased, was proprietor.
 The appointment Cf city lamp inspec- tor was given MT. Hopkins on July 1, 1885, and that position he had held very acceptably up to the time of his death, the duties of the office having been as- sumed by his numerous friends so that the city might in no wise suffer during his illness.
 The study of illumination in it's vari- ous phases became very expressing to him and he had read nearly everything in print on that topic.
 Articles on illumination which he had written have appeared extensively in this country and abroad, and his scrap book of information on the subject is one of the most complete of it's kind in existence. He was a member of the H. lumnating Engineering society of New York city.
 In 1888 Mr. Hopkins welded Miss Ernestine Bader Otis at Germantown, Pa, and his wife and two daughters, the latter aged fourteen and nine years, respectively, survive him. The Daven- port Congregational church formed his first church connection in this city, and about two years ago, having removed to another section of the city, he with drew to the Humphrey Street Congre- gational church
 Politically MT, Hopkins was always active, and was arepublican, His early interest in political matters was indi- eated by his activity in 1884, when he and two others, Clarence H. Ryder and B. r. Guyer, formed the nucleus which the present Young Mems Re publican club He had served on the ward committees of the Fifth, Sixth Seventh and Eighth voting districts As a member of Momauguin lodge No 1, A. o. U. w., for a score of years, he had been very active, and during the excitement of year or so ago, when the new rates were put into effect, he supported the action of the supreme lodge almost single-handed in the subordinate body, and when that lodge had practically decided to secede he presented a petition bearing enough to prevent it from throwing up it's charter
 The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 230.

Of the University Of Pennsylvania, but
little progress was made, and the plan
was finally abandoned.
Three states and three cities all claim
Franklin. Massachusetts, makes the
boast that he was born in Boston; New
York has erected statues to him be-
cause he spent many useful years in the
metropolis, and Philadelphia would
monopolize the glory for itself and the
keystone state because it was while the
Quaker City was the storm center OF the
revolution that Franklin lived here and
performed deeds that have made his
name forever notable.
Perhaps, fearing that New York or
Massachusetts might attempt to steal
away the celebration, Pennsylvania has
already taken action that will make
Franklin's birthday big event in the
Keystone state. The legislature listened
to the appeal Of the Philosophical So
ciety to make a contribution for the
exercises, and awarded $4,000. This
Gov. Pennypacker, with an economy
that would have had the approval oil

STATUE OF FRANKLIN
MEMORIAL TO AMERICAN 10
BE ERECTED IN PARIS.
dwelling Will Take Place on 2OOth
Anniversary Of His Birth-Great
Celebration Planned by
Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia.-When the two hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of Ben
jamin Franklin is celebrated, on Janu-
airy II, 1906, the kindly regard in which
the memory of the first American minis
ter to France is held In Paris will be
shown by the dedication of a bronze
statue OF Franklin, given to the city by
John H. Harjes. at present the resident
member In Paris of the firm of Morgan,
Harjes & Co., of New York. The statue,
which will be replica Of the one in
front Of the post Office in this city, will
be placed in the small grass-covered
plot in the Rue Franklin, near the Place
du Trocadero and just in front of the
Trocadero palace, which has been given
for that purpose by the Municipal Coun-
Gil of Paris. The pedestal will differ
from that supporting the Philadelphia
figure, that being deemed too massive
for the site to be occupied in Paris.
AS early as May last Mr.. Harjes
formulated his offer to M. J. Bouvard,
administrative director of the services
of architecture and promenades of the
city OF Paris, and, after some negotia-
ton in June last, addressed NJ Delcasse,
then minister of foreign affairs, asking
him to use his influence toward expedit-
ing matters on account of the shortness
Of time before the anniversary. This
letter, written the day before M. Del
casse resigned, was answered by NJ.
Rouvier, his successor, in an exceeding
ly friendly spirit and conveying the
necessary favorable report. AS time
was precious, Mr.. Harjes had anticipat-
ed favorable answer by cabling to
John ]. Boyle, the New York sculptor,
who produced the Philadelphia statue,
giving him instructions to begin work at
| once on the replica. Since then Mr..
Harjes has received word from the
sculptor that the statue will be deliv-
cred at Havre by December Is next.

gift should come from the citizens Of

open it as club house to the thousands
of American tourists who yearly visit

During our visit at Stratford-On-
Avon," said Mr.. Morris, I'VE were i'm
pressed with the antique beauty of the
old Harvard home, Mrs Morris being
particularly enthusiastic. When we
learned that the place was to be sold at

New York.-Robert Bacon, Of this
city, an intimate friend of President
Roosevelt and his classmate at Har-
ward. has been appointed assistant sec.
rotary Of state, to succeed Francis B.
LOOMS, resigned.
Bacon began his business career
shortly after being graduated from
Harvard in 1880. Coming to this city
ne entered the banking house of e.
Rollins Morse & Co., in which he was
made later a director.
In 1899, ]. Pierpont Morgan took
young Bacon into his firm and at the
same time he became associated with
Drexel & Company, of Philadelphia,
and also with their foreign department
in Paris.
From the 3ime he entered Mr.. Nor
CAMS firm until he retired from active
business in 1908, he was regarded in
Wall street as a dominant factor in
the interests represented by the Nor
gan firm.
Tasks of the most delicate nature
were intrusted to him by Mr. Morgan.
His special field of activity was in mat.
ters of high finance, railroad and in.
dustrial enterprises.
During Mr.. Morgan's absence in Eu.
rope in 1901, Mr.. Bacon was head of
the firm. In the critical periods pre-.
ceding and following the panic result
ing from the corner in Northern Paci.
fic that year, James J. Hill and other
heavy stockholders in the railroad COM
panies concerned were in daily con-
sultation with Mr. Bacon.
His next great financial work was
the direction of the British end of the
steamship merger, which resulted in
the formation of the International Mer-
camille Marine company early in 1902.
Mr.. Morgan sent him abroad about
year prior to the elimination of the
merger, and he conferred and debated

pert on international law, having repre-
sented his country in every 1nterna-
tional complication of recent years.
Prof. de Martens was Russia's chief
legal representative at the Baltic fleet
inquiry; he served as member of the
Russian delegation to the peace con-
ference at The Hague; he was presi-

most unassuming of men. A few years
ago he made tour of the United States.
In Philadelphia he was guest of Whar-
ton Barker, prominent populist, once
q presidential nominee, who was
knighted by Alexander II. of Russia, in
1879.
Prof de Martens earned consider
able criticism some time ago by pub.
fishing an article in the New York indie
pendent, wherein he declared that ths
Monroe doctrine, "called into existence
by the necessity of setting limit to the
mania for interference which came into
fashion among the great powers of Eu

ing an instrument of defense into KIND
