CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS WOMAN
l5 Interpreters Try to Talk With
 Immigrant Woman.

Hartford, April 10.-At the Shel- ter for Women on Temple street there is woman without a language so far as the police can find out. She is the immigrant whom Officer Nichols found wandering around the Union station Thursday evening. She ap- peared to be Polish, and no one ex- pected trouble the next day in secur- ing an interpreter who could ques- ton her, but yesterday the police tried fifteen interpreters, in as many different languages or dialects, but so far no one has been able to make her understand a word. One Pole, whose name is spelled with an abund- ance of Cs and Zs, almost made her understand, but twas only a glim- mer. "..#
 He told the police that in Poland Ifhere are something like forty-six dialects, and he understands and speaks about half dozen of them, but this woman's lingo is not in his vocabulary. By one word which she spoke and he understood, he learned that she comes from a place in the interior of Poland, and very few peo- pie from that part of the country are found here. This interpreter said that he did not know of one in this city or New Britain who could speak that dialect.
 While the woman has bright face she is slow of comprehension, and does not readily understand the sign language. So far as her ability to help herself at present is concerned, she might as we'll be deaf and dumb She had no money, and but little bag gage. When found she was wearing a tag which led the police to believe that her name is Magdalena Giranc- zube, and that she is trying to get tc brother-in-law, whose name is sup posed to be George Mortuza at Rhone Luzerne county, Pa, but the writing is poor and there are several differ ent tags in her possession, which are confusing and create doubt as to the best course to follow.
 H. H. Gunshanan, investigator of the board of charities, took an inter- est in the case last night and tried tc find some way of learning the wo- mans identity through different Pol fish people he is acquainted with, but he was no more successful than the police. Captain Smith finally decid- ed to write to the postmaster at Rhone, Pa, and find whether there is any one at that place by the name of G. Mortuza. and if there is, he will be notified to come after his sister, in-law. At the same time he will write to the transportation authori- ties whose duty 1t is to put the im- migrants on heir'way, and find where he mistake was made.

 College Men at Chicago.

Chicago. April 10.-The Aldrich currency bill now before the sen- ate was subjected to scathing criti- cism in lecture yesterday by Prof ]. Lawrence Laughlin before mem- bers of the faculty and students of the University of Chicago.
 Prof Laughlin is head of the uni versity's department of political economy. He characterized the bill as a political make-shift'' and said it fails utterly to meet the actual conditions engendered by panic, it's provisions showing profound ig- noranee of the operations of credit and banking.
 The speaker pointed out that an issue of $500, 100000 would not prevent a panic" He explained that over-trading and iIl-judged ex- pansion may occur under any Iegis- lation and is sure to be followed by a collapse of credit.

rapidly cleared of homeless dogs
through the activity of the recently
appointed Kearny dog-catcher.

them to Kearny, where they fall into
the clutches of the dog-catcher, and
are, after forty-eight hours, sent into
oblivion If they have not been claimed,
The officials of Harrison and East
Newark were considering the advisa-
bility of this plan, but when they
found out how easy it is to make use

their respective places they side
tracked the idea.

afternoon bought a quantity of acid
with which to kill some eighteen dogs
in the pound since Saturday. He man.

into the mouth of each dog and 1t had
immediate effect on nine of them, the
other half, though In agony, managed to
kick and the dose was repeated. One
little mutt" came back five times for
a dose and was hen living.
Health officer Albert Geissler, who
was present at the execution, was COM
PEELED to use his gun on some of the
dogs in order to obtain the desired re-
