WOMAN IN C.NS1 MAKES VAIN
ATTEMPT ON OWN LIFE

Socorro, n. M, July 29.---An un-
successful attempt on the part of Miss
Amanda Montgomery to commit sui
eide, the organization Of ten posses
in various parts Of Socorro county to
pursue Frank Schmidt, alias Frank
Conway, and Sam Johnson, the alleg-
el slayers of Emil Katzenstein. who
was shot and killed in front of the
Richards hotel Thursday night, and
the return of verdict by the coro-
ner's jury which held an inquest over
KatEcnsteins remains, were the most
important developments today in the
affair which has kept the town Of
SOCorro in throcs of excitement for
the past twenty-four hours.

der Of Katzenstein had hardly begun
to subslde when the report was sent
broadcast throughout the town that
Miss Montgomery, who was with the
man when he was killed. had made an
unsuccessful attempt TO end her own
life. In her room at down town ho-
tel she swallowed a liberal dose OF
sugar and lead. But for the fact that
her condition was discovered by
friends who had kept watch eN-
pecting some such action, the woman
would Cna.s.uotcdly have died within
a short time. The arrival of physi-
clans and the prompt administration
Of antidotcs saved the girls life.
When she had flilly recovered Miss
Montgomery refused to assign any
reason for her act An investigation
by Morning journal representative

Mics Montgomery made an effort to
purchase morphine at a local drug
store. Being refused this poison. she
returned TO her home and took the
sugar of lead. purchased some time
ago for use as an eye medicine. Other

was not successful in her attempt

TIME LIMIT FOR PORTER CHARLTON
 EXPIRES TONIGHT
No Formal Demand For His Gus tOdy Yet Made by Italian
 Government

New York, Aug. 2.-The forty days allowed the Italian government under it's treaty with the United States to make formal demand for the custody of Porter Charlton, held in the Jersey City, N. r., jail for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Mary Castle Charlton, at Moltrasio, on Lake Como. expires at midnight tonight. No such request has been received by the officials of the State Department in Washington and it is believed that none will be filed by the expiration of the time limit
 The interest of the United States government in the case dies with the expiration of the 40 days and the un- usual situation confronts the officials of g. confessed murderer being held without legal process.
 Three courses are open to the at- torneys retained by Judge Charlton, the father of the young assassin. The first is simply to demand that the youth be released, there being no legal charge against him. The second is the issuance of a writ of habeas cor pus to secure his release while the third is the institution of insanity Which of these three courses will be adopted by the at- torneys Is not definitely known but it is rumored that Judge Charlton will either ask that his son be sent to a state institution for the insane; or delivered to him for confinement in a private mad house. Charlton's attorneys today declined to discuss the peculiar situation into which the case has developed itself.

TAFT DENOUNCED AS BETRAYER OF
 THE NEGRO RAGE

Boston, Aug 2-Exctement Is gen. eral among negroes here today follow ing a bitter denunciation of President Taft at a negro mass meeting held ostensibly for the purpose of electing delegates to the convention of the Ma tional Independent Political League at Atlantic City. Taft was denounced as the betrayer of the negro race through his negro policy. A resolu- tion was passed condemn1ng the pol icy of the government in placing the statue of Lee in Washington and 1t was stated that the only way the negro would get his rights would be to go for them with a gun in one hand and the Bible in the other.
 The New England Suffrage League, under whose auspices the meeting was held consists of local colored pastors and officers of the National Indepen- dent Political League.
 Dr. McKane of Savannah took a more decided view of the race ques- ton than most of the others. He said in part:
 ''When a good. honest Christian ne gro starts out with a Bible in one hand and a six shooter in the other, he shall lift his own burden.
 ''The whites in the South are cow ards. They are afraid to fight man to man but collect crowds of 20 to l."

COUNTY CHAIRMAN WELL RENDERED

A stage full of people. a village pa rade with the village drum corps, a political campaign in full blast, the ebb and flow of political life in an American rural district. are some of the things that were presented last night at Polls theatre. in ''The County Chairman. that delicious play. half comedy, half satire. by George Ade.
 John Thee took the title role. adding another flower to the wreath of suc- cess that he has made for himself in Bridgeport. UnQuestionably Ince con- tinues to grow on Bridgeporters. He remains unspoiled by popularity, the same conscientious careful craftsman that he was in the beginning and his work increases in merit and under standing.
 Tommy Williams. as SaSSafraSS Liv- ingston, unquestionably made a hit. Once more Miss Stockwell, as the hero inc of the play. endeared herself to a Bridgeport audience and confirmed her friends in the idea that she is an ac- complshed actress.
 The play itself is stimulating. whole some and strictly native to the soil. It's characters are men such as are nourished by the institutions of the land. the dialogue is striking, the thought useful and the ensemble as nearly perfect as care and strict atten- tion to detail can make it. The County Chairman is play that the young people can see and enjoy with their fathers and mothers.

FOR DOUBLE TRACKS
Hearing Before R. R. COmmiS-
 sion August 5
Changes in Newtown, Monroe
 and Huntington

There will be a hearing on altera-
 tions in line of railroad known as the Huntington Branch Of the New Haven & Derby extension and the
 Newtown Branch of the Housatonic Railroad Company. in the towns of petitioned for by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. at the office of the railroad commission CTS in Hartford Friday morning, Aug. 5, at Il.
 It is proposed to alter the location of parts of the line to an extent that will change the radius of the curves, the width of its layout, the extent of of its depot grounds, and to add to the number of its main tracks from New town easterly to Botsford station, to a point in Huntington 625 feet west of the Shelton station.
 In connection with the new line of double track, it will be necessary to reconstruct four existing bridges over bridge which carries the highway over the railroad, altering the grades and raising the latter bridges. It is pro- posed to alter the grades and raise the highway bridges which carries the highway leading from Botsford to Monroe with a steel brid ge twenty feet in width and 119 feet in length. The abutments of the railroad bridge over the highway between Stepney and Berkshire, two miles east of Botsford will be extended, maintaining a width of 13.6 feet between them. The abut- ments of the railroad bridge over the highway from Monroe to Berkshire. about half mile east of Monroe sta tion will be extended for the purpose of providing an additional track
 A steel bridge with masonry abut- ments for two tracks will replace the existing single-track trestle bridge over the highway known as the Bag burn Hill road, leading from Monroe to Zoar, about one and three-quarters miles east of Monroe station, increas- ing the distance between the present trestle bents from 10.9 feet to twenty feet. Another steel bridge with ma sorry abutments for two tracks, with a width of twenty-five feet between the abutments, in place of the present width of twelve feet between the bents of the single track trestle bridge, is proposed for the railroad bridge over the highway leading from Monroe to Derby a short distance west of Stevenson station.
 The proposed plans will necessitate the change of location of the high ways. Two hundred and seventy-five feet of highway west of Monroe sta tion leading to Botsford and Stepney will have to be discontinued; also 625 feet of highway between Stevenson and Shelton, 700 feet of the old Webb road leading from Stevenson to Step ney and Monroe and 700 more feet
