STRONG MAN" TRAVIS INJURED
Great Weight He Was Practicing With Brushes Him and He May Die.


 Warren Lincoln Travis, 21 years old, of 101 South First street, Will liamsburg, who has won some fame as strong man," and who put on an act with the Barnum & Bailey circus last year in which he allowed an automobile to run over his body. was crushed under apparatus with which he was practicing in the gymnasium of the Brooklyn Athletic club, New York, last night, and per- haps mortally injured.
 Travis was training for an act in which he was to raise 8 ,000 pounds with the muscles of his back and legs. He had platform con- structed which was placed across a pair of iron horses four feet high and on this platform 20 men would stand while Travis, crouching under the platform between the horses, lifted the platform, men and all.
 Last night he was unable to get the necessary number of men about the clubhouse, so filled the platform with vaulting horses, parallel bars, iron dumbbells and anything else he could find which was heavy. Then he crouched under the platform. Before he was ready to lift, one of the horses broke, the other toppled over with the shifting of the weight and the platform and all the stun upon 1t crashed down upon the man.
 Unable to free himself from the wreckage, Travis called for help. James Greedy. janitor of the build ing. came and tried to get him out, but the weight was too great and Greedy called several members and passersby, who finally succeeded Tn releasing the prisoner. Dr Barnes or the Williamsburg hospital, respond ing to an ambulance call. found that Travis's hip was dislocated and that he had many contusions and some probably serious internal injuries. The man was taken to the hospital.
 Last year. while doing the auto mobile act in Canton, O., Travis had three ribs broken by the too sudden stopping of the machine.

THE ALLEN DIES SUDDENLY.
His Famous PoolrQom Closed By
 Bowling Law.

New York, May 13.--Theodore, known as "The" Allen, died suddenly last night at his home, IT West Eighth street. His death was report ed to the coroners' office by Emil Fuchs of 320 Broadway who had been his attorney for some years. The Allen began running pool room when District Attorney Jerome, backed up by the Bowling law. which he had passed to get after gamblers who could not be reached in any oth- CT way, made 1t impossible for the old man to continue in business and stay out of jail.
 Before that the police had raided The's establishment at 80 Sixth avenue just 112 times and never once did they get evidence to con- vict The Allen boasted that he had never backed a faro game or rou- lette wheel in his life He never drank, never saw horse race in his life, never backed a horse to win and never was in his poolroom when betting was going on. He de- clared that it was no wrong to run poolroom, that the laws were made for the few and he boasted that in all the years that the police were after his place lie never spent a cent for police protection.
 The Allen was certainly king of the poolroom keepers. Nobody else was in his class, and in his younger days he had reputation as an all around bad man. He was tough rough and tumble fighter, was ac- cused of many assaults and once of murderi
 It was asserted many times that The had a pull with the police, which explained their failure in get ting at him. but he denied that and said he had never given a police man or a politician a cent.
 He had made two political contri- buttons, he said. The first was $50,- 900 to aid Lincoln's election and the other was for Jerome when the lat ter ran for district attorney.
 The was married twice. A few years ago he adopted Miss Minnie Allen. whose mother was the daugh- ter of The by his first wife. She is said to be rich in her own name and The had social aspirations for her. His second wife died few years ago.

EARLY WILL CASE
Parties al IDteresi Making a
 Determined Fight.

The cross examination of John Early to-day in his contest to break the will of his wife, Susan Early, did not develop any extraordinary situations, but 1t promoted many an oral scrap between Attorney Will Hams, counsel for Mrs Maria McDon- aid, Mrs Early's principal benef- ciary, and Attorney Russell, execu- tor of her estate, and Attorney Cole, counsel for MT Early. By his wife's will, Early was left but life use of one-third of her estate, while her sister, Mrs Mcdonald, was left all of the remainder. The whole amounts to about $15,000.
 Attorney Williams undertook to show there was about $3O in the house when Mrs Early died, and Early, at first said there was about $7 or $8, but he remembered count ing $16, but he was sure the sum did not amount to $50. MT Early's attempts to explain things provoked many wrangle between his counsel and MT Williams. One time he start ed to say that there is a Citizens National bank, and Waterbury Savings bank and a Waterbury Ma tional bank also. Early did busi- ness with the Citizens National which is under the same roof as the Waterbury Savings bank and he seemed afraid that MT Williams did not understand this.
 Another time MT Williams was reading paper when MT Cole ln- terrupted him, saying:
 That is not so."
 "Perhaps you mean to say can't read" said MT Williams.
 "Oh you're fading, you're fading, all right" retorted MT Cole.

HAUSDORFS AUTO.
Left on Roadside Over Night for
 Want of Gasolene.

Benedict E. Hausdorf of Cherry street has enlisted in the big army of automobilists. He bought his machine in New Haven Monday and came very near losing it on the way to Waterbury. It was not observed that the gasolene tank was almost dry when leaving New Havenf until the machine refused to budge on a part of the road where there was not the slightest chance of getting drink. So the machine was pushed one side of the road and MT Haus- dorf and his chauffeur took the next trolley car to Waterbury. It was so late when they got here that it was determined to stay over for the night, and next morning when they got to the place where they had left the auto Monday afternoon, to their great astonishment they found it had disappeared. They then began an inquiry that took them several miles around, for houses are scarce where the machine was left. They finally found 1t in the shed of a man who owns a machine, and he informed them that he would as lief stay out all night himself as let his machine out So he took pity on the strange auto and took it home. Hausdorf and his chauffeur gave the machine the drink it needed and started for home, which they reached without experiencing further adventure.
