It Attempt at Suicide.
WAS SHORT STORY WRITER
Returned from Maine Woods
Yesterday and Had Revolver
in Trunk Given to Her by
Young Mau-O Officers Re-
fused Entrance to House.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Miss Clara II.
Stewart. a writer of short stories and
daughter Of William T. Stewart, is dy-
ing at her home. 500 West 1S4th street,
and a policeman stands guard in the
house, the young woman being charged
on the blotters of the West Fifteenth
street police station with attempted
suicide.
There is much mystery surrounding
the shooting of Miss Stewart, which the
members of the family have been called
on to explain. The charge Of attempted
suicide was made after Mr.. and Mrs.
Stewart refused to admit the police to
their home, in their effort to keep the
affair from becoming public.
The police learned that Miss Stewart
returned from the Maine woods yester-
day, where she has been with her
mother in a camping party. While at
the camp a revolver was given her by
a young man whose name has not been
learned.
One story is that she and her
mother were unpacking their trunks
last night when the revolver, which
was in the bottom of Miss Stewards
trunk. was accidentally discharged. A
second story told the police was that
Miss Stewart was in her. room alone
cleaning the revolver when 1t was &C
cidentally discharged, the bullet passing
through the left side about two inches
below the heart.
Immediately following the shooting Mr..
Stewart ~telephoned to DR.. Joseph Murphy,
of 517 West 10th street. After his arrival
at the Stewart home DR.. Murphy sent for

the case was most serious, and that Miss
Stewart had small chance to recover
TIT police first learned Of the shooting
through two children Policeman Merritt
was at 1S1st street and Amsterdam ave-
nue. when the children ran up to him.
"A woman has just shot herself down
here one of the children said. Merritt
followed them to the handsome apartment
house in which the Stewards live. Mr..
Stewart met the policeman at the door,
I'VE don't need the assistance of the
police said the father. This is an ac-
cident and a private matter" The door
was then closed in Merritts face
When Merritt reported to the station
house, Detective Connolly was sent to tn
Stewart home. Admission was refused
him. and he practically had to force his
way into the house.
According to the story told Connolly.
Miss Stewart was alone in her when
she received the wound, the other menu
bers of the household being at the Dime
table and waiting for the daughter OF tbs
house to join them
Mr.. Stewart was closely examined by
Connolly, but until he was advised by the
physician to talk he refused to answer
questions. the detectives say. He stead-
lastly maintained that his daughter had

end her life.

FREEMAN MAY RUN ON
DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
East Orange Independent Chosen by City
Central Committee to Replace Dur

Alden Freeman will more than likely be
the Democratic candidate ON the Demo-
cratic ticket for councilman from the
Fourth Ward. East Orange. Mr.. Free
man, who is also a candidate for the Of
flee on the Independent ticket, was de-
feated fer the Democratic nomination at
the recent primaries, but Albert e.. Dur
yea, who was nominated by the Democrats,
has moved to Thirteenth street, this city,
and Will be ineligible for office.
This action was decided upon last night
at q meeting Of the City Central Commit
tee, OF East Orange,
The city convention had been adjourned
until last night and 1t had been expected
that some action would be taken on the
matter. an influence was being exerted
in an effort to have Mr.. Duryea retire
from the race in favor Of Mr.. Freeman.
Edmund d. Torpey, a lieutenant of Mr..
Freeman. was the moving spirit in the
effort to have Mr.. Duryea dropped. All
the Democratic leaders were in favor of
the reformer also.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the meeting
of the central committee was called TO
order, and Mr.. Torpey charged that Dur
yea had voted the Republican ticket for
the last four years, and also claimed that
he mad moved out of the city. 1t was then
decided to see the candidate at once.
A hack was secured, and John Jay Ma
loney, armed with a blank affidavit; Wash
ington Cross, secretary of Congressman
LeGage Pratt, and Torpey entered it and
started off in an effort to find Duryea.
They ascertained that the candidate was
at a bowling game, and they hunted about
unsuccessfully. Shortly before midnight
the hack drove into Thirteenth street, and
many people were awakened by the ring
ing Of front doorbells, the searching party
not knowing the address of Duryea.
Finally they found his home and rang
the bell s~trenuously. Duryea finally came
downstairs In his night gown and Torpey,
on entering the house, asked Duryea to re-
tire from the race, and the blank afi-
davit was taken INTO the house. Duryea.

Forests of stone.

Stone forests are found in various
parts of the world. In many cases
they are hardened by some popularity
of the atmosphere and are found stand

ago. The Little Colorado river, in Ari-
iona, has long been famous as local.
ity for such finds. At one place more
than 1900 cords of solid stone, tree
trunks, sections, limbs and logs, were
found by the government surveyors.
Most of them were silicif1ed, many
seven to ten feet in diameter and from
twenty to eighty feet in height. Geol.
ogists say that the petrif1ed trees Of
the Little Colorado were once covered
with mari over 1000 feet in depth.
Some of the trees have been changed

Mon ster Spider Grabs.

II have collected specimens Of crabs
In all parts Of the world" said a nat
uralist, ''but I shall never forget the
pleasure I experienced in securing a
monstrous specimen of the Japanese
spider crab, the largest ever found.
The combined length Of the feeding
arms of this monster was more than
twelve feet, while the body portion
was about twenty inches across. When
alive, it weighed about seventy-fve
pounds. One of the oldest things
about these creatures Is their ability
to assume disguise. This feat they
are able to perform owing to the fexi-
bility of their pinchers and to the
hooked hairs and spines with which
their numerous arms are studded. By
means Of their pinchers they tear off
small fragments Of sponges and sea-
weeds. After first putting these to
their months, which contain glutinous
saliva, they place them on the sur
face of their limbs and bodies by
sticking them fast with a rubDlsg
movement. BY this method the crab
succeeds in completely changing It's
appearance and rendering itself indis-
tinguishable from the materials COM
mon to the bottom of the sea. While
crawling along it seems as though a
portion Of the ocean bed was in mo-
ton, SO close is the resemblance"

The Crocodile,s stronr jaw

Sir Samuel Baker in his "Wild
Beasts" says that the power Of the
Jaws of the crocodile Is terrific. Once
he had the metal of large hook, the
thickness of ordinary telegraph wire,
completely bent together, the barbed
point being pressed tightly against the
shank and rendered useless This COM
preston was caused by the snap Of the
Jaws when selling live duck which
he had used as bait, the hook being
fastened beneath one wing. On one
occasion he found fish weighing sew
enty pounds bitten clean through as If
divided by a knife. This, again, was
the work Of a snap from the jaws Of a
crocodile. M. Paul Bert once made
experiments on the strength Of croc-
odile's jaws by means Of dynamome-
ter. He found that a crocodile weigh
ing 12O pounds exerted a force Of 308
pounds in closing his jaw. The lion
has an enormous jaw power. On one
occasion an African traveller pushed
the butt end Of his gun into lions
mouth, and the pressure Of the jaws
cracked it as though it had been struck
by steam hammer.

Shooting a Rabbit.

In Sullivan county there is man
who spent whole day hunting, and at
nightfall he was returning homeward
empty handed when he found a rab-
bit In a snare and still kicking. He
released it and was about to dispatch
it with the back of his hand when it
occurred to him that he could not say
he shot it, as no shot marks would be
found to corroborate his story. So he
tied a string to one Of the hind legs Of
the rabbit, tied the other end to the
fence, backed away twenty yards and
fired. The shot cut the string and
bunny ran away. Such a good joke
on himself was too good to keep, and
he told it at the village grocery, little
thinking that it would be handed about,
until now if you want to anger him
the mere mention Of the yarn opens
