Yale Graduate who Was a Cap. lain of the U. 5. Army in
 in ihe Philippines.

New Haven, July 1O.-A cable- gram received here brings word of the suicide in the Philippine islands .of Captain James Wallace Brotach, U. $. M. C., and Yale graduate. class of 1891. No particulars have been received but acquaintances here Say that Captain Brotach had long brooded over differences with brother officers growing out of his efforts to put an end to hazing at West Point, together with the solitude and mos notony of service in the pnilIppines. Captain Brotacn was considered to nave been one of the most DrllIianl men in hls class. He accepted West Point appointment during his junior year, and as a '.plebe" there he was severely hazed On becoming an up- per class man he opposed hazing which led to bitterness between him- self and his classmates. Some years later Brotach returned to Yale and completed his course and was given g Ph D. In 1898 he organized the Yale battery but as it did not see service and saw service in Cuba where he was given captaincy, and since then had been in Guam and the Philip pines.

SUIT OVER HOOKS AND EYES.
Waterbury Concern Carded Them
 Like Philadelphia Output.

Hartford, July 10.-Men haven't any particular use for hooks and eyes, but all kinds of these articles were before Judge James P. Platt in the circuit court Of the United States yesterday when the suit of the De- Long Hook and Eye Co of Philadel- phia against the American Pin Co of Waterbury was argued on the plaintiffs motion for an injunction. The action was in the naure of what is known in the federal courts as an unfair competition matter. Both concerns make hooks and eyes and the complaint asked that the defend ant be enjoihed from putting on the market hooks and eyes on a card somewhat similar to that used by the complainant. Judge Platt sug- gested to Edmund Wetmore of New York. lawyer for the defendant. that certain changes be made in the print ing on the card Mr wetmore said he would have his client act on the suggestion and the matter was left to be determined on final hearing. Charles E. Rushmore of New York was lawyer for the complainant.

SAVES POLICEMAN'S LIFE.
Notorious Gang Leader Fights Mob and Aids in Arrest of Armed Men.

New York, July 10.-Paul Kelly, gang leader and principal in a hun dred pitched battles between the po- lice and his followers, saved blue coats life last night, fought off a desperate mob and assisted, in the arrest of two men who had just put three bullets into an enemy. Be- fore the prisoners could be taken to the East One Hundred and Fourth street station 4,00O persons had sur rounded Kelly and the policeman and it was necessary to turn out the reserves.
 Tesso Clemento of No 337 East One Hundred and Fourteenth street, was attacked by two men with pistols about o'clock in Thomas Jefferson park. They shot him in the right breast right fore arm and head. Policeman Wey heard the shots, and as he ran into First avenue he saw two men with pistols in their hands turning the corner into One Hundred and Sec ond street. With pistol drawn, he gave chase and followed the men into a bakery cellar at No PISA Third avenue.
 The cellar was crowded and dimly lighted. Wey plunged ahead, how ever and grabbed one of the two arm ed men he had been chasing. Mauro Ducca of 321 East One Hundred and Twelfth street. As he laid hands on the man Leo Ducca, Mauros compan- ion and proprietor of the bakery, oy- erhead wrenched Wrey's pistol out of his hand and threatened to kill him.
 Wey reached for his club, but the crowd in the cellar closed in on him, when there was a shout in the en- trance:
 Lace 'em, coppeh, Let 'em have 1t any way." yelled a small, slight fellow, running downstairs.
 It was Paul Kelly, and suiting &C., tion to his words he launched out in true gang style with fists and feet and head
 The crowd melted. Kelly dropped Leo Ducca with a right on the jaw and Wey took care of Mauro Ducca. Then came the mob in the street, but Kelly stuck to the policeman and the prisoner until the reserves arrived.
 Clemento, the surgeons at Harlem hospital said, had an almost even even chance of living.

Bryan's Statement.

Fairview. Lincoln. Neb. July i0.- The following statement was made by William J. Bryan when he re- ceiyed the announcement of his nom ination as the candidate of the demo- cratic party for president.
 The honor is the highest official possession in the world and no one occupying it can afford to have his views upon public questions biased hy personal ambition. Recognizing his responsibility to God and his ob- ligation to his eountrymen. he should enter upon the discharge of his du- ties with singleneSs Of purpose. Be lieving that one can best do this when he is not planning for a sec ond term. ] announce now. as have on former occasions. that if elected. shall not be a candidate for re- election.
 This is a nomination as purely from the people as can be and if elected my obligation uiIl be as pure ly t0 the people. I appreciate the honor the more because ft came not from one person or a few persons. but from the rank and hle acting freely and without eompuIsion.

ssO,Oe0 STEELE?
IiaIy Wsnts 10 Kuow if It Has lost Another Art Gem 10
 John PierpoDt Morgan
BASRELIEF THE LATEST

Rome, July 10.-Commenting on the report that J. P. Morgan has bought a bas-relief for s30,000 and intends to place it in a collection he is forming at Rome, the Glornale d'Italia says:
 'The stele (sculptured slab, with the Antonius to which allusion is made was discovered last December in the ruins of building which prob ably was covered at Tor del Padig- Hone, a property near Carroceto, on the Anzio line. The discovery was announced to the government in the usual manner. It is really an inn portant discovery, not only artlsti- cally, but because it bears the name of its sculptor, Antonianus of Aphro- dosia, an artist of the second century. It represents the favorite of Hadrian in the guise of Dionysius, with ale gorical figures of autumn.
 We are uncertain whether any de- finite price was named, but when the government official demanded to be informed whether the bas-relief was for sale the Institute of Pleasant Property, to which the land where the stele was found belongs. replied in the negative. The Italian state has rights in it, and if the members of the institute, which number several deputies, have sold the antique to MT Morgan over the head of the Italian government they certainly have not acted in a laudable manner. At present the piece of sculpture is in Rome, and if MT Morgan intends to make, asis reported, museum of our antiquities, respecting our rights and pride, certainly we have no cause to be annoyed.
 "A companion to the Barracca mu- scum would be without doubt an ex- cellent thing We must, however, in justice say that persons in high au- thority here who recently had in Rome the confidence of Mr Morgan deny that the rich American intends to found an art collection here, and declare that the report has been spread by an agency whose sources of information are inaccurate"

HENRY IN A CELL

 SDsppy Reply.

Up to press hour no one had ap- peared at the police station to fur nish bonds for Walter Henry, driver of the automobile which struck Miss Clara Hoyt on North Main street yesterday afternoon. Still it is thought that Warren L. Hall, for whom Henry worked, may fur nish the bonds within a day or two. Henry is very indignant about his arrest and this morning threatened to sue the city because he claims his clothes were spoiled by sleeping in the station last night. Captain Ramon informed him that the re- porters wanted to know if he had anything to say and he replied rather curtly:
 No, tell them it is none of their business.

LAKES POWER SHOWN
Few Bsyen Begins 10 See H. Col UIIman Runs 10 Woods
 to Escape Fight,

New Haven, July l0.-The power of the Lake forces in this city is ,hown once more by the fact that be- sause of his stated preference for Songressman-at-large George l.. Lil- Icy as the next governor, Major Den lis A. Blakeslee of this city may lose lis position as senator from the ninth district, and some Lake man .ake his place.
 Major Blakeslee, who was senator rom the ninth district during the ast session of the legislature, has ,tated all along that he is candi- late for reelection and that he also wishes to be president pro tenn of he senate, succeeding Stiles Judson If Bridgeport. Major Blakeslee's ambitions to be president pro tenn would have undoubtedly been real zed as he is a strong railroad man, md there are a few ether railroad nen in the senate who would have worked for him. As president pro em he would have had the grave re- ponsibility of naming all the com nittees, under the act passed at the asst session, which was to do away with the Allyn house caucuses and he influences brought to bear there.
 When Colonel Ullman left orders hat Lilley should have the solid ,upport of New Haven in his sprint Or the gubernatorial nomination Ind then left for Maine to be out Of he row. Major Blakeslee was one If those who was 10 help hand over .lse delegation to the Waterbury nan. Major Blakeslee stated to his friends as well as to the Lake men hat he was for Lilley, and the rouble commenced. His ward, the ,econd which he could carry with ase. has 10 delegates to the city onventson. The other wards in the Sinth senatorial district are the Thirteenth, which has four dele rates; the First, which has six, and he Tenth, which has IA. The Tenth is Lake territory, and the take aggregation claims to have one of the other wards. Either would be sufficient to carry the point, and ,ne of them would not be enough tor Major Blakeslee. So the Lake faction has informed Major Blakes- lee that he will ei her have to aban- don Lilley or give up his chance of becoming president pro tenn of the senate with the responsibility of ap- pointing the committees. It is said that the Lake men have already chosen some one to run for the sem atorial nomination If Major Blakes- lee continues his dangerous path in favor of Lilley.
 The republican party of New Ha- ven Is in a bad way when it has to knock out man with the political backing of Major Blokeslee. A promi- lent citizen said last night: Would 1t not be better for New Haven to stand solidly for the renomination of Governor Woodruff, and two years aence let.Lilley. if he has not retired Q oblivion. fight with Mir Lake for he nomination. By then Mir Blakes- lee will have gone to the senate and with Judgment and the independence which previous appointments have lacked. made up the committees. and he can take his chances with either Lake or Lilley without fear of help Ing ground the ship of state on the dangerous rocks of democracy, through row in the republican par ty?"
