WOMAN TRIES
TO STAY BIG
LAWYER
Follows Him Across
Continent Like Brown
Bradley Case.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-The case of
Mrs. Thomas Metcalf, who last evening
shot at banker John r. Walsh's at
torney, Samuel r. Hamill, in the Fed
eral building here, parallels strangely
in some respects the case of Mrs. Annie
M. Bradley, of Salt Lake City, Utah,
who recently was acquitted in Wash
ington, D.. c., after killing former
United States Senator Arthur Brown,
also of Salt Lake City.
Mrs. Metcalf is a former resident of
Hamilrs home city, Terre Haute, Ind.
She and her husband were at one time
active in the church in which Mr..
Hamill is a prominent member. She
had since at different times consulted
different lawyers here with a view to
bringing suit against Hamill for al
legged wrongs which she claimed to
have suffered at his hands.
AS in the cas- of Senator Brown, who
had travelled from his home city, Salt
Lake City, Utah, to Washington, on an
important legal mission, and was shot
by Mrs. Bradley, who had followed him
from Salt Lake, Mrs Metcalf is said to
have followed Hamill across the con-
tinent.
Mrs. Metcalf is a native of Denver
From that city she is said to have
from New York to Chicago. She has
recently been earning a living on the
stage, appearing in minor parts.

IN JAIL FOR LOVE
SECRETARY HAYS
NEPHEW CAN'T GET BAIL?
Is Charged with Alternating Affections
of Samuel N. Buffers Wife-"Would
Rather Die Than Not Meet Her"

WHITE PLAINS. Jan. 15.-Unable as
yet to raise the necessary 10000 bail,
Kenneth Hay, a nephew of the late
John Hay, Secretary of State, is still
in Jail here, where he was taken after
his arrest on a charge made by Samuel
M. Butler, secretary of the Automobile
Club. in which the complainant ac-
cuses him of having a~lienated the af-
fections of Mrs. Butler. While Hay Is
said to be much worried by his deten-
ton, he is declared to have asserted
that he would rather die than to give
his promise not to again meet the wife
OF his accuser. Mrs. Buffers husband
AYERS that the woman admits her in
fatuation for the prisoner.
According to the story, Mr.. Butler is
said to have twice threatened to shoot
Hay IL the l~atter's attentions to Mrs.
Butler did not cease, and once, when he
was in this city with his attorney,
John Van Zelm, obtaining a bond to
be presented with his request for Hays
arrest, he is said to have met his wife
and rival together in Fulton street and
to have been restrained by the lawyer
from firing after he had drawn a re-
volver.
The grounds given for the arrest of
Hay are that Butler believes he in
tended to flee from the State to avoid
n 800, 900 suit which the complainant
had brought for the alienation of Mrs.
Buffers affections.

day gave a hearing to John w. Giiggs,
of Paterson, n. j.. formerly attorney
general of the United States, who pre-
sented the objections of the Marconi

features of the treaty of Berlin in re-
gard to wireless telegraph regulations.
That company rebels at the provision
of the treaty requiring ships of all ma
tions concerned in it to exchange Or
forward aerograms regardless Of the
system operating them.
Through Mr.. qriggs, the company set
forth to the committee that, through a
general interchange of messages. It
would not be protected as to its rights
TO maintain it's invention for its own
ends, and contended that its patents
would be infringed. A further objec-
ton was made because the treaty pro-
vided no adequate compensation for
general services thus rendered.

cation Chamberlain was present at the
hearing. as was also General Allen, OF
the army signal corps. on Wednesday

SEEKS MONEY
He GAVE TO
STEPMOTHER
Physician Entrusted 1t to
Banker Who Is Sued in
Odd Mix=up.

Arguments were heard today before
Vice-Chancellor Emery on a petition of
Salvatore D'Auria, a banker, of 1877 Sew
enth avenue, to be allowed to enter an
inter pleader in the chancery suit insti-
gated by Joseph r. Barbiere, a barber,
of 20g Belleville venue The vice-chan-
cellor allowed the petition.
The suit in question is one of many
complications. In March last Teresea
Barbiere, stepmother of Joseph Bar
biere died. She was a widow and in
her last illness was attended by DIR.
Engenio Sturchio. It was alleged at
the time that the physician found $3.50
in currency on the woman's person, and
to a himself against all suspicion he
deposited the money with Salvatore
D'Auria, the banker.
The stepson entered a claim for the
money, saying tina. it was the savings
of a life time, which he had entrusted
to his stepmother to keep for him. He
had no faith in the banks, he said, and
thought the cash safer with her.
An administrator was appointed and
Alfonzo Lorezza was selected. But as
the money had been deposited in the
name of DIR. Sturchio, the banker felt
that he could not recognize anybody
else, and when claims were made on
him for the none he refused. Then a
compact was made with the stepson
and DR.. Sturchio whereby enough
money was drawn to pay for a tomb
stone for the dead woman.
The rest of the none was claimed
