MERIDEN DRUG CLERK CASHES
 HIS THROAT
Attempt at Suicide Follow ed Finding His Clothes on Railroad in New Haven Case Puzzling One for Po- lice, Who Are Unable to
 Unravel Mystery
Especial from United Press.)

New Haven, Oct. 6-Whi1e his brother was debating with a police man over the proper course to pursue in his case, Louis P. Prefer, a former drug clerk of Merfden, gashed his throat with a penknife at a local ho- tel and was taken to Grace Hospital in a serious condition.
 When the medical examiner was called in at 7:5O this morning to view the supposedly dead body of Prefer, the mystery surrounding the finding of a mans clothing containing Prefer $ bank book on the railroad tracks be- tween Mill River and Cedar Hill sta tion last night was solved. The clothes were the property of the wou1d-be suicide. How the coat, hat, shoes andA nec2tie came to be in that out-of-the-way place puzzled the po- lice who tell subst antiaI1y the fol- lowing story after an investigation
 Prefer came to New Haven from tents of letter found on the drug clerk indicated that he had called on some local belle, who repelled his ad- vances.
 He was picked up half clad by. an Owl car conductor who put Prefer up at the local hostelry. That was early yesterday morning. The clothes were found later in the day and lent color to widespread suicide rumors..
 The police were making ready to drag Mill River for the body today.
 The DankDOOk clue TeaCaeQ MerlQen and relatives came to New Haven to search for Prefer. They found him at the hotel in poor spirits over the notoriety he had given to his family. He is 29 years. old
 While his relatives were deciding upon the next move Prefer attempted suicide He is a private patient at Grace Hospital and acting upon in structions no news of his condition was given out at that But from a reliable source it was reported that the young man would likely recov- CT.
 Meriden, Oct 6-Louis Prefer, who is 29 years old, is the son of MT. and Mrs. August Prefer of 54 Stone St. He had been employed in drugstores here for ten years and for the last seven years had been an efficient clerk for Broderick and Curtin. He went to New Haven in July to un- dergo an operation at New Haven hospital, and, while practically cur ed, was still under the physicians s care.
 : He was in Meriden Tuesday when he attended a dinner that was given for a young man who was married yesterday and appeared to be about as usual There was no indication of despondency although he acted some what odd.
 He went about a good deal and paid attention to several girls, so it is not thought here he was Respondent because of one of them treating him coldly as had been rumored.

the capital.
 The restoration of King Manuel is officials. Their strength, however, is prob1ematic and it is nut believed that they will be able to seriously in terfere with the new government.
 The provisional government estab- lished under the Presidency of The ophile Braga has made a distinctly favorable impression, all. Reports to- day agree. It's one aim seems to be to placate the royalists and thus pre- vent thet threatened civil war.
 Practically all of the army and navy which did not participate in the revolution today answered the proc lamation of the new government and reported at their headquarters, p1edg- is little doubt that this pledge will be kept, at least for the present.
 The strength of the royalist troops is still uncertain. The latest refugees the reported arrival of the Elvas gar rison at the outskirts of Lisbon nor of the marching of the Oporto gar rison against the city.
 Owing to the thoroughnesS with which the revolutionists destroyed telegraph and telephone lines and blocked the railway lines, Lisbon is still cut off from direct communi- cation with the outside world. It will require at least three days, it is believed, to restore normal eondi- tions.
 One of the first acts of the provi- sional government was to issue a proc lamation prohibiting reprisals against the royalists. Despite the dissolution of the police force, the city was markedly free from disorder when the last refugees departed.
 The latest report is that the royal ists still hold a number of strong holds in Lisbon and that another bat tie is feared tonight

PATHFINDER DOM MIGUEL
Should He Gain Throne an American Girl Might Even
 tuaIly be Queen

London, Oct. GA despatch today to Renters from San Sebastian says passed through that city this morning en route to France. The supposed royal pair. were incOgnito and their identity was not clearly esta blished.
 Conflicting reports regarding the whereabouts of Manuel and the royal family are as prevalent as yesterday. One report says that the King was arrested aboard ship just as he was preparing to flee. The Duke of Oporto, ManuePs uncle, has not been seen or heard from since early Tues rected the defense of the royalists. The Dukes force was quickly routed by the revo1utionists but whether. he was captured is not known.
 Pretender Dom Miguel, Duke of Bra ganza. left his country home near Vienna a few days ago and has not since been heard from. It is believed that he had advance news of the up- rising and is now in conference with his followers, hoping eventually to be called, to the throne. In such an event an American girl might eventually son of Dom Miguel was married a few months ago to Miss Anita Stewart of New YOsk.
 The prospects, however, or Mlguefs s elevation to the throne are not con sidered bright by English students of Peninsu1ar affairs. Given a taste of Republican government, it is not be- lieved that the Portuguese will submit to the re-esta ablishment of monarchy at least for years to come and then only in the event of a complete failure of popular government.
 The revolution is not proving popular in the provinces of Portugal according in the provinces of Portuga, according to some of the desDatches received here These declare that royaIists and the population in many rural parts of the country are gathering their forces to resist the new government.
 The success of the revolution is be- lieved to depend largely upon the dis Manuel is a prisoner or has fled there is no question that the monarchy has fallen but if reports that Manuel is ra1Iying his forces at Malfra be true tbe outlook assumes a different aspect The army and navy are now in praci- cally complete accord with the revo- lutionists which makes the ultimate success of, the uprising assured.

CHAUFFEUR CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER GETS
 SIX MONTHS IN JAIL

Charles schatzer of Norwalk was this morning by Judge Edwin B. Ga ger in the Superior court, criminal side, sentenced to jail for six months for n1anslaughter, a jury yesterday morning finding him guilty on that charge of having run down and killed George F. Siler, in NorWalk, Aug 6, 1910. Schatzer was driving an auto at the time. The sentence was sur prise to Schatzer as khe had been led to believe and expected that he would receive a much more severe penalty When Schatzer had been commanded to stand up by the court his little wife and his cousin who were in the court room, burst into crying and had to be led to the corridor. After be- ing sentenced Schatzer left the court room in company with Sheriff Hawley and met his wife in an ante room. When she learned of his sentence she against burst into tears, but smiled when she was informed that her hus- band had escaped very easily. Schat- ger himself was smiling thanking him. self that he got off as easily as he did.
 Before passing sentence Judge Gager said:

Spectators in the Criminal Superior Court this morning received a big surprise when America Giancolo of Stamford appeared before the court after the sentencing of Charles Schat- ger of Norwalk, and plead guilty to murder in the second degree, for the killing of Max Zfgmund in Stamford on June IS, 1910. It took some time for Judge Edwin B. Gager to realize what the prisoner before him was pleading guilty to. Under the cir cunstances the court could do noth- ing but to sentence Giancolo to States prison for the remainder Of his life. In sentencing the court said: There is no discrimination in d case of this sort; there is the law"

character at is evident by his looks. The fact that he had charge of al dangerou:. instrument. The jury has found that was driving his nnachinef at a dang rus rate of speed in al street not d lighted. My own opin-i ion is that his careIessness was in speed. I am inclined to think that when he observed the man before him. he tried hard to avoid the accident, but he was going at such a rate of speed that he could not do anything. His machine had been going at a rate dangerous to life. I will assume that he is a, careful driver. It has been urged that be lenient. Leniency can be constituted in many different ways. The maximum is fifteen years in jail and fine of $1,000. The minimum is what the court deems fills the judg- ment. I must take into account that there are hundreds of cases just like this one. I don't think would be doing justice to the law if imposed a fine. The point is that a sentence1 in a case like this ought to be such as to tend to discourage such actions as that in which this young man has figured. I think this is true that when he was racing down that street no one was in sight. It is simply reckless speeding. I will sentence him to six months in jail"
