KILLS HERSELF AND CHILD

Separated for two months from her
husband, Mrs. Annie Davis, thirty-one
years old, killed her two children
Elsie, three years, and Ellis, fve-and
took her own life in her apartment in
Brooklyn, early yesterday.
When the house was entered tube
attached to an open gas jet was lying
on Mrs. Davis's pillow. The two child
rem were clasped in her arms. All
three we're attired in night cloth
ing. No cause is known for the triple
tragedy beyond the woman's brooding
over the separation. Mrs Davis was
declared by neighbors to be deeply in
terested in religion. An open Bible,
which had apparently slipped from her
hand as she succumbed to the fumes
of the gas, lay half opened upon the
floor by the bedside.
A note left by Mrs. Davis was adj
dressed to her husband. 1t read:
Lizzie has the insurance book. /
am sorry, but this is the easiest way
cut OF IL all. The children are asleep
and won't know anything about it. l
can't stand it any longer"
The note was signed Annie. "

JAMES CASEY
ATTACKED BY
THREE TOUGHS

James Casey, carpet layer Of 152
William street, was set upon and badly
beaten by three men within stone s
throw of his home early yesterday
morning. AS result he is badly bruis-
ed about the body and unable to. walk.
The cause Of the attack is not known.
Robbery may have been the motive Of
the assailants, but nothing was found
missing from Mr.. Casey's clothing. 1t
is probable the assault was committed
by men wishing to avenge an alleged
wrong done them by Mr.. Casey. The
police have been notified and are inves-
tigating
The deed was committed about two
'clock yesterday morning Mr. Casey
was on his way home When near a
point on William street, about hun
dred feet west of State, three men
jumped from behind building. One of
them hit him in the face. Casey went
down and the men set upon him. He
was kicked and hit until he became in
sensible, he says When he regained
consciousness, about ten minutes later,
the men had disappeared. He managed
to reach his home, where he received
medical attendance.
Some men interested in trial, in
which Mr.. Casey figured prominently,
he says, once threatened to do him up
properly, and it is possible that these
were his assailants yesterday.

BOTH HOUSES
HAVE PASSED
UTILITY BILL
white Wash" Measure
RaiIrOaded Through the
Legislature by Bosses.
SENATOR SILZER PUTS UP
FIGHT FOR PLEDGES
Special bu United Pres, wtrs.

Trenton, March 17:-The So
called public utility bill which was
introduced in the legislature at the
instigation Of the bosses as a substi-
tute measure for those already held
in committee, passed both houses
last night with a rush, as was sched-
uled by the party machine now in
control at Trenton. The bill is now
up TO Governor Fort
AS has been pointed out in the
EVENING NEWS. the bill is a mere
shell, extending the field of the pres
ent railroad commission without
adding any powers whatever. The
! bill was framed up to meet the de-
mands of those who insisted that the
republican party live up to it's pledge
to pass a public utility bill, and, at
the same time, to satisfy the corpor-
ations by making the commission a
weak and harmless body.
By passing this bill, the republi-
can leaders think they can go be-
fore the people and claim to have
lived up to the pledges. If the gov
ernor vetOes the measure they will
say they passed a public utility bill
and the governor vetoed it. If the
governor vetoes it, the corporation
will be pleased, as there will still be
no legislation to bother them.
How the Members Stood.
In the senate, where the bill was
sponsored by Senator Edmund w
Wakelee. of Bergen, the vote was 1e
to 4, the republicans and Senator
Cornish, of Warren, and Price, OF
Sussex, voting for it, with four dem.
ocrats, who had borne the battle tc
make it a strong law, opposed.
In the House the struggle was
clean cut. For the bill were all the
republicans, while against it and for
the Sullivan-Martin bill was the
democrats minority Carlton B.
Pierce, of Union, fathered the bill
| in the House and defended it with
the assistance of a corps OF lawyer
members. The vote was SO for and
IL against. -.

DIDN'T HAVE
ENOUGH TIME

1t is understood that the awardns
of khe two contracts by the Board OF
Water Commissioners last night TO
Contractor C. p. Hodgson, OF Metu-
chen, is to be taken up by the Build
ing Trades Council at their meeting
tomorrow night.
Several local contractors claim
they were not given chance to ten
der bids, because the plans and spec
ifications were not given out until
Monday afternoon, two days before
the contract was awarded. One con-
tractor in particular said that he
had intended to bid on the contracts,
but was unable to secure anything
upon which he could base his calcu-
lations. He made application at the
office of the Water Department, he
says, and was told that he would be
unable to get the plans until Mon
day. He was told the same thing at
the office of the city engineer, he
adds.
When he was finally able to pro-
