Mrs. Reddington alleges Hartford Prom. ed Her S60,000 and Has Paid
 But SIl, 1000.

 Paris. April S.-Cipriano Castro. one time president of Venezuela, now so- journer on the Island of Martinique will to-day receive official notice to leave at once and not land again on French territory. Although the report circulated yesterday was that he in tended staying at an asylum at Fort Du France. it was not until to-day that the official report of the Governor of Martinique that he was staying there was received.
 The Foreign Office at once prepared the decree of expulsion and it has been cabled to Martinique. There is much speculation as to where Castro will now take refuge but so far no place has been suggested. That he will eventually be able to start revolu- tion in his native country is generally believed here.
 GOMEZ WILL ARREST HIM.
 Caracas, April 7-(Via Willemstadt April s.)-Whi1e President Gomez still declares that Former President Castro would be inviting imprisonment or death in returning to Venezuela, friends of the President admitted to- day that Gomez is doing everything possible to prevent the return of Cas- tro.
 Administrative circles fear that un- less Castro is summarily disposed of in the event of his return, he will be able to create the gravest disorders. He still has many prominent friends who would be only too glad, to lend their aid to any Castro movement
 The charge of being in a conspiracy to murder President Gomez still stands against Castro and President has or dered his arrest the moment he lands.

MAINTAINING HOLDS UP
 GAS BILL
It is Laid on Table Second Time While Bridgeport Senator Waits for More Light.
(By our Staff Corres.)

Hartford, April s.-Senator Barnum. chairman of the committee on Incor- porations, called from the table today the favorable report on the petition of the Bridgeport Gas Light Company to increase it's capital stock to. not ex- ceeding $2,0OO, 900. Senator Barnum explained the bill. saying that there had been no opposition before the com- naittee and moved that it be adopted.
 Senator Moses Manwaring of Bridge port, in opposing the adoption of the measure, said he regretted that Sena- tor Barnum had called the matter up today as it placed him at a disadvant- age. Senator Manwaring said he had taken an interest in this measure and had held a conversation with 8. stock holder of the company of whom he sought enlightenment The stockhold- CT, he said, had assured him that soon as one of the directors of the company returns from the South there was to be a meeting of the board and the information which he sought was likely to be forthcoming.
 Senator Barnum said he did not un- derstand the situation, therefore in view of the attitude of Senator Man waring he asked that the matter be further tabled until such time as Sen ator Manwaring had obtained the in- formation he sought.

 SAMPSON CASE
Thought Dismissal of Indictment Will be Granted by Justice When States Xvi. dence is Concluded.
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 Lyons, N. Y., April s.-With Carl Allyn, brother of the accused on the stand, the trial of Mrs. Georgia Samp- son for the murder of her husband. Harry Sampson, was resumed today with the impression general every where that when the State rested a motion for a dismissal of the indict- ment will be granted by Justice Rich, who is presiding.
 Attorney Gilbert insists that he is not through yet and declared today that before his case is completely end- ed he will have a surprise for all con- cerned.
 Public sympathy is now all on the side of the accused woman. But she retains her impassive attitude and walked into the court house today as serene and confident as the day she heard the indictment read.
 While Mrs. EbertS was on the stand Mrs. Harriet Sampson, mother of the dead man, accompanied by her son and daughter, entered the court room and took a seat near the rail. She was dressed in the heaviest mourning and both mother and daughter were heavily yelled.
 Almost immediately afterward Mrs. Mildred Serviss, who has been men tioned in connection with the letter sent from Niagara Falls to Mrs. Geor- gia Sampson, was escorted into court by Frank Allyn and given a seat out side of the rail. If it becomes neces- sary to put in defense she will be a witness.

BOY OF IA DRAGS
 DROWNING GIRL FROM THE WATER

Little Lizzie Poll. eight years old, Is now at St. vincentss hospital in a fair way to recover from a most mar row escape from drowning. She will owe her life to the quick wit and prompt action of Fred Barrett, boy of IA, who jumped into a boat and pulled her out of Black Rock harbor.
 Lizzie lives with her parents, MT. and Mrs. Anton Poll, at 39 Brewster street, in Black Rock, near Fancher's dock. The girl, with a number of chil- dren companions, was playing on the dock this noon, when she fell into the water. The cries of the drowning girl and those of her companions attracted the attention of a number of boys also playing in the vicinity. Fred Barrett, IA years of age jumped into boat and using a board as a paddle worked his way to the girl and pulled her out of the water. The child was then un- conscious. When the boy reached the the shore Charles Fancher the well known Black Rock merchant, took the child to her home and sent for the am bltlance. When Dr. Bennett arrived in the ambulance, he quickly brought the child to consciousness by artificial and the administration of StimIllantS.

COURT DIDN'T
 BELIEVE LADY

New York, April 8.-Justice MacLean of the Supreme court set aside yester- day a verdict for $5, 362. 50 obtained by Caroline J. Taylor against a man nam ed S. Heft. Mrs. Taylor sued for $10.- 400400 as compensation for boarding Heft's son. With the accrued inter est her claim amounted to $15, 300, but Justice MacLean says that the jury appears to have reached a compromise verdict, disregarding the interest and giving Mrs. Taylor about half her original claim.
 But her testimony as to the facts concerning the conduct of young Heft is discredited, says Justice MacLean, by a mass of testimony adduced by the defence. To start with, the in- comings and outgoings'' of Heft were saw nothing out of the way in young Heft's conduct. Again his application to his studies and his industry when employed as a surveyor on the New the attention, says the court, not only of the Heft family and the servants but of the engineers engaged in the survey. Furthermore, the cashier who paid young Heft his salary testified that the young man was of exemplary conduct and very steady and indus triouS.
 As against this testimony Mrs. Tay- Tor, comments Justice MacLean, would have the court and jury believe that young Heft was "a morphino-maniac of extreme type, indulging in daily dosage of the dangerous drug to two or three times the amount of the or Ginary caSe.''
 Mrs. Taylor, says Justice MacLean, also professed to have nursed young Heft during 'tthe consequent conditions of exaltation, depression and exhaus- tion'' for three days and to have cured him 'fby simple suasion," though she was, the court says, "a woman with out experience, save that of a sister addicted for a week, whose cure was effected without medicine or restraint. by mere blandishment, working a. won der in our days to the confusion of the whole faculty of medicine which for years fourscore has deemed cure of so hardened a case possible only un- der competent surroundings, strictly affording continuous care and treat ment."

'BOB'
 VEAL COMES
 TO BRIDGEPORT
Buyers Pick up Newly Born Calves and
 Smnggle Them into Local Market.
In Some Cases Inspectors are Easily
 Placated by Offenders.
But Farmers Bringing Their Own Calves to Market are Unable to Find Blind Side Side of Authorities 'Bobs" are Worth Sz to S4.

Bedding, April s.-A lot of bob veal,
 that is the veal of calves from one
 day to one week old, must be eaten
 by Bridgeport people despite the city's
 and the state law designed to prevent
 it. It is well known that buyers from
 the city pick up these newly born
 calves hereabouts and below here, take them to Bridgeport and butcher them.
 It is said that much of this meat finds
 consumption in East Bridgeport among
 the foreign element. The law prohibits
 the sale for food of the meat from any calf which dresses less than 60 pounds and besides a Bridgeport ordinance
 provides that no carcass shall be mar keted without previous inspection. In order that the quest for diseased con- ditions may be facilitated 1t is requir- ed that veal carcasses be accompanied by the lights, liver and head. F. F. Sanford and others who take dressed case the inspection is thorough and comprehensive and they wonder how it is that Bridgeport parties who bring in and sell bob meat seem to be free from a like supervision which would entail on them penalties and soon put them out of business. Recently a new man in MT. Sanford's employ neglect ed, through ignorance, to observe the regulations regarding the lights, liver and heads of two carcaSses and all though the meat was sound and wholesome the inspectors rejected it and the owner had to take it home. One effect of the inspection is to vir- tually shut out farmers and country dealers from selling to retail butcher shops and thereby getting a price bet ter than the wholesale rate- Not only do the inspectors appear to be mostly blind in respect to bob veal violations but when they do stumble on case they are usually easily placated. Thus in recent instance where a man was caught red randed with a slaughtered bob he told the inspector by way of excuse that he bought the calf solely for the hide and should throw away the carcass.
 The explanation sufilced. How much weight it should have carried is evil denced by the fact that the hide was worth perhaps fifty cents while the price paid for the bob was doubtfesS the prevailing one of from g to $4.
