SMITHS STORY
Ysa Charged Wuh Attempted Murder en Witness Slsp6.

The defense of William Smith. the colored man. charged with attempt ing to kill Mrs Emma r. Hanke at her home in Middlebury on the fore noon of September l, is an alibi. Smith testified this morning that with another colored man he came to Waterbury from Middlebury on the forenoon of the day of the as- sault and that he did not return to Middlebnry till late that night. He passed the afternoon with his friend visiting the saloons and in the even ing took a trolley car for Nauga- tuck. There they had more drink, His friend tried to get horse to drive to Middlebury, but could not. They had an encounter with one llv- cry keeper. After that they had more drink and about 9 o'clock Smiths friend took car for Water bury and a short time after Smith himself started. arriving about 10 o'clock In Waterbury he had more drink, but he was not under It's in- fuence, though his friend was early in the evening. After roaming around Waterbury some time he took car for Middlebury and got home about midnight.
 Smith testified that the house of Mrs Hanke was kind of rendez- vous for black and white people of Middlebury. He frequently bought whiskey of her and of man who used to visit there, though neither of them had license to sell drink. He could name only three saloons In Waterbury, though he has been here frequently, and he denied being on Rubber avenue, Naugatuck, at 1 o'clock on the morning of the day on which the assault took place. He denied seeing one Bowman there. The case went to the jury about 3 o'clock.

WILL PAY DEATH BENEFIT
To Friends of the Late Motornal
 Robert Dunn.

AtoDShN
 The aid society composed of em- ployes of the Connecticut Co has de- cided to pay the death benefit to rela- tives of Robert Dunn, the motorman injured on the Watertown trolley line Sunday, Oct 4, and died at the Waterbury hospital few days later. The $100, or at least goodly DOT tion of it, was raised at meeting yesterday, each member contributing $1.
 As the accident in which Dunn was injured was caused by his running car over a switch on which he should have waited, Secretary John- son and other members of the aid society claimed that his relatives were entitled to no death benefit. Although the majority of members first looked at the matter in the same light they later had change of heart and wanted the money paid. The meeting of yesterday followed.
 The aid society has been in exist ence only short time and as yet there is very little money in the treasury. That's the reason why the members are being assessed $1 to make up the $100. There are now about ninety members in the associa- tion.

FIVE MORE POLICEMEN
Superintendent WsuId Nske AlI
 lbe Detectives Sergsssls.

Superintendent of Police Beach wants Ave more men on his stan and all the detectives to be made ser geants. These were few of hiS recommendations to the board of safety which met yesterday after noon for the purpose of taking action on estimated appropriations for next year for the fire and police depart ments. Fire Chief Snagg asked for several additional pieces of fire ex- tinguishing apparatus on the auto mobile plan.
 Commissioners Grimm and Minor were appointed committee to in. quire into the alleged necessity for additional accommodations at the police station, which Superintendent Beach designated as old fashioned and out of date. Commissioners Malone and Phillips were appointed a committee to investigate the recom- mendation of the superintendent that all the detectives be made sergeants At present Detective Dodds holds the rank of lieutenant.
 It seems that in Hartford and New Haven and most large cities police detectives hold the rank of sergeant in order that they may have authori- ty to call upon any policeman in case of necessity. At present Detec- tives Kennaugh, Keegan and Cole. santo hold the rank of ordinary po- licemen.
 The board took no action on Su- perintendent Beach's recommends tion for five more cops and for an au. tomobile police patrol. The recom- mendation for increased accommoda. tion at police headquarters is almost as large as the station house itself.
 Patrolmen Charles F. Gallagher, Christopher Harmon, Terrence w. Lynch and William McKennerney passed the examination for promo ton from grade A to B with an in- crease of 25 cents day.

 Monday norpIss

Right Rev Monsisnor William J. slocum died at $50 o'clock this morning at the rectory Of the Im- maculate Conception church, of which he has been the pastor for about thir- teen years, after long illness.
 His condition was critical for the past couple of weeks and dissolution was expected to come any moment. During the night he was unconscious and at dawn this morning the nurse saw that the end was at hand and no tified the priests in the house. The Rev T. M. Crowley of St Thomas's s parish was also present and with Fathers Q'Brien. Broderick, Brennan and Mooney were at his bedside when he breathed his last. His death was peaceful, so much so that those about

did not prove to be so and shortly after his return he was obliged to take to his bed. After some time he recuperated and went to St Vincent's
 hospital, but this did not result in any material change in his condition and after few weeks he expressed a desire to come home and the wish was promptly compiled with. Since that time he has been lingering on the borderland. sometimes fairly we'll and again confined to his room. On the occasion of the laying of the cor nerstone on Sunday, September 2S. 1907, he was able to attend the cere- mony and occupied seat beside Bishop Tierney and Governor Wood- ruff. A month later, October 20, he spoke at one of the masses and thank ed all for the phenomenal success that had attended the laying of the cornerstone.

CAUSES MARSHALL'S ARREST. 0'Brien Charges Pursuer With Mali.
 inns perseeutiou and Clander

New Milford, Oct 22.-Matthew E. O'Brien, the prohibition candidate for governor, spoke before large au- dience in front of the postoffice last night and after he had finished speak ing, W. O. Marshall Of Chicago" who has been following him around in an automobile, spoke for about ten min utes, when he was arrested by Con stable Jennings on the charge of ma | licious persecution and islander, on a warrant sworn to in the superior court of Litchfield county by O'Brien. A body writ for $100,000 damages was served upon Marshall by Con- stable Jennings. Marshall was taken before Judge J. B. Merwin, who de- cided that he could do nothing in the matter as the writ was returnable to the next term of the superior court in Bridgeport in November.
 After the formalities before Judge Merwin, Marshall" in the custody of Constable Jennings, was allowed to 80 on and finish his speech. He showed the papers he has exhibited elsewhere in the state concerning O'Brien's alleged record and quoted clippings from Providence papers in the endeavor to strengthen his re- marks.
 0'Brien continued his speech while Marshall" was before Judge Merwin saying that he had the man arrested so that he could no longer interrupt him on his campaign tour through the state
 Bonds were fixed at S1,000 and the Surety Co of New York has arranged to put up the necessary bonds to-day and Marshall" has put up a cash bond of s1,000. He says he repre- sents the Good Citizens league" whatever that is.

VOTE AFTER 5 O'CLOCK?
Difference of Opinion Regarding New
 York Law.

New York. Oct 22.-Whether or not voters waiting in line at polling place at 5 o'clock, the closing hour on election day in this city, are enti- tied to receive and cast ballots, has become a matter of dispute between Attorney-General Jackson and the city's legal advisers. Corporation Counsel Pendleton had ruled that all waiting in line at the closing hour should be permitted to vote. The at torney-general interprets the law to be that only those who have received their ballots before the clock strikes 5 shall vote.
 It has been proposed to open about 200 new polling places in Greater New York on elecAion day in orde: to secure convenience for all who are entitled to ballot. This plan, which the corporation counsel has declared legal, will, 1t is said. require 1,600 additional poll officials and 500 more policemen.

Students Fight Fire

Durham, N. H. Oct. 22.-The en- tire student body of the New Hamp- shire state college assisted early to- day in the work of saving the pro- perty of Frank Doe from burning house, as we'll as in subduing the flames, by forming bucket brigade to the nearest water supply, more than quarter of mile away. The loss on the property did not ex- ceed few hundred dollars.

Laborers on Strike.

Mantle, Oct 22.-Eighteen labor CTS at the works of the Mantle Men haden oil & Guano Co have resented a cut in wages and are on strike. As 1t is close to the end of the season it is possible the company will get along without replacing strikers. Previous reports from oficials of the company indicate that the fishing season had been a good one.

The organized bodies connected with the church will miss Monsignor Slocum, for he could always be de- pended upon to help them out when ever they needed assistance. The Sis ters of the Holy Ghost are indebted to him for much of the success that has attended their labors in this city. It was he who selected the property which they occupy on South Main street, and he also gave them as a present beautiful ehalice, a cibori- um and ans ostensorium. After he had the new hospital on paying ba- sis he expected to found home for destitute children in Waterbury and had in mind suitable site for a building of that kind.

Remembered fin New Haven

New Haven, Oct. 22.-With many New Haveners, the memory of Fath- CT Slocum, who died at Waterbury this morning, will always be associ- ated with that of the late Artemus J. Haynes, because of an incident that happened at chamber of commerce banquet here few years ago. Each made a speech along the broadest religious lines and they concluded by shaking hands heartily before the diners, who gave them tremendous cheer. It was a dramatic climax to q night of eloquent speakers.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

ranged with all the bill posting con- cerns throughout the state to placard every billboard and dead wall within it's limits with posters, so that some morning in the immediate future the people of the state will go to work between walls of posters calling upon them to vote for MT Lilley, and so forth. This is an old election dodge of MT Lilley's. When he first ran for the state legislature he placarded every available place in the city with bills calling on the people to vote for Lilley and honest government" and what did they get in return? Promises and increased taxation. There Is another story in circulation to the effect that he has prepared a great "write-up" of himself for pub- liaction in a certain paper and that 100, 900 copies of that paper contain ing this write-up will be distributed next week where 1t is hoped they will do the most good.
 Dr B. W. Goodenough, most ac- tive and yirile republican, is down. hearted these days. He was in New Haven yesterday for a few hours and when he got home he was, politically speaking, ''all in.' He reported to the court house bunch that there is no show for the republican ticket in the Elm city and that the only re- publicans to be found there are those holding offices, all the rest of the people, the doctor said, seem to be democrats, or at least all he ran against spoke that way. As for Lil- ley, there was no hope for him. It cost the doctor many pang to tell this It was only few weeks ago that he used to drop in among the court house patriots with bouyant spirits and hearty laugh and raise their hearts with stories of hope and good prospects, but the past week has been blue one to him and yester- days experience in New Haven put the damper on him altogether.
 The department of public works has instructed the superintendent of streets to erect the booths for elec- tion. This is the first time the city did the job itself, and it is likely that the lumber will be saved so that after this year the cost would be much less than ever before.
 The important change in our bal lot laws this year is that the names of representatives must go on to the state ballot. The town committees should see that names be written in full and plainly written This in. cludes the names of representatives and judges of probate.
 Voting machines are now located in the old engine house in Brooklyn. in Sheehy's block at Baldwin and Pleasant streets. and in Byron's plumbing shop on East Main street. near the. Sacred Heart church.

George Tracy of the firm of Tracy Bros Col never knew more noble character than Father Slocum. 1 re- gard his death as great loss not only to his own people, but to the whole community; for he looked upon every man as brother, and stood ready at all times to make others happy and relieve distress wherever he knew it to exist"
