TIRED OF WAITING TO
DIE. INVALID THRUSTS
KNIFE BLADE TO HEART
Ignorance of Anatomy Prevents His Driving Keen Wea
pom to Vital Spot-Four Times He Sinks Steel Blade
Through Ribs Into His Lung, Each Time Missing
His Mark-Dyng in Hospital.

: Despondent because he realized the
great white plague had set its seal
upon him, Thomas F. Hall, aged 80,
dying of consumption with almost
superhuman force drove carving
knife which he had sharpened to
needle point, through his ribs for his
heart at his home, 21s Congress street
this afternoon. He was rushed to st.
FVincent's hospital in the ambulance.
SO badly wounded that there is little
hope for recovery from his injuries
/ His death from consumption Is but
question of weeks, in any event.
Hall lives with his wife and mother
In CONGRESS street. He has been en-
pIoyed as an assistant engineer at the
Stratfield until recently his failing
health made 1t impossible for him to
keep his employment. He planned
the suicide with great care. and that
! he was not successful is due to his
lack of knowledge of anatomy.
Four time he drove the carving
knife almost to the hilt, through his
ribs, but each time he struck too low.
The frst blow went between the
fourth and fifth rib and missed the
apex of the heart, doctors say by just
a hair. He thought he struck too
thigh, and a second time drove the
knife clear through the ribs. This
time it was between the fifth and
sixth, and each succeeding blow was
one rib lower. Every thrust tore the
lung open, and a profuse hemorrhage

Hartford, March 9-An important
hearing was held before the railroad
commission at the state Capitol to-
day on the petition of the railroad
trainmen who are endeavoring to Sc
cure larger crews for the freight and
passenger trains operated by the New
Haven road.
Theodore B. Ford Of Bridgeport
whose appointment as = railroad
commissioner was confirmed yesterday
sat with the board for the time. At
torney Richard Higgins of Winsted.
also appointed to the board by Gov
ernor Baldwin sat today. The other
newly appointed member Of the board,
Mr. Hale of Glastonbury. was not pres
ent and his place was filled by Com
place Mr.. Hale takes.
The Bridgeport trainmen at the
hearing were John L. Rowe, C.. r.
James, John Osterhoubt, Thomas
O'Brien. William Scott, Harrison Da-
Wis, These men were delegates from
H. A. Bishop lodge, No. II. B. r. T.
The petitioners seek a modification
of the existing law whereby On all
passenger trains Of two or less cars
there be one brakeman, on passenger
trains of not less than and more
than six cars. two brakefnen and all
passenger trains containing more than
6 cars, brakemen exclusive of the
baggagemaster. Under the existing
law the baggagemaster is often rated
as brakeman.
The petitioners further ask that the
rear brakeman be compelled to re-
main upon the rear car except when
called upon to protect his train by
tagging.
Peter O'Hearn Of Stamford, legis1a-
tive agent of the trainmen, conducted
the case for the men. Attorney Ben
jamin L. Spock appeared for the Eew
Haven road. Senator E. Hart ysin
of Wethersfie1d. favored the petition
he said it was quite apparent that
very few of the passenger trains are
manned and sthat as re-

State Tax Is Not Yet
An Accomplished Fact

Some of the Republican calamity
howlers have started a cry that there
will have to be special session of
the Board of Apportionment to pro-
vide for a state tax. Mayor Bucking-
ham said this morning that there
would be no special session of the
board and that he had heard no sug-
gestion of there being one.
A state tax was not provided for by
the tax board because it was not
known that there was to be one. The
State Grange and the mayors of the
majority of the cities are opposed to
the tax, believing that the state should
get a sufficient amount OF money to
pay expenses from the railroads and
other public service corporations. If
there is q state tax it will be because
the Republican legislators override
the protests of large percentage of
the electors.

Five platoons of policemen. de1ega-
lions of several fraternal organizations
and many hundreds of citizens will
pay tribute at the bier of Captain AL
vim S. Hunt at the obsequies of the
veteran policeman, Saturday after
noon. Captain Hunts death occurred
late yesterday. He was unable to re-
port at police headquarters after Jan.
13,and those who knew him best were
convinced a few days afterwards that
ne would never return. A complica-
ton of diseases had so enfeebled the
once stalwart man that he had wasted
to but a semblance of his former self
when he was last seen on duty.
Though fieeting hope was given his
wife and friends by occasional rallies,
repeated relapSes as speedily banished
the promise of his recovery.
Funeral arrangements have not yet
been completed, but it is likely that
the obsequies will be among the most
impressive that have been held over
any Bridgeporter of recent years. Su-
perintendent Birmingham is expected
to head the police escort. He will be
mounted. The platoons of dozen
men each will be in charge Of Captain

mother was busy hanging out the
clothes.
The child upset the water upon her
self, and from her lips to her toes
was badly scalded. The mother
grasped the screaming child to her
bosom and rushed across the street
to the European pharmacy, where
clerks put carron oil on the burned
members. DR.. Sullivan was called in
from his office nearby, and then the
child was sent to the Bridgeport hos

CONFERENCE WITH MORGAN

New York, March 9.-The intense
interest taken by big Business in
the Mexican situation was Shown by
a conference at the Hotel Plaza, to-
day, between Mexican Minister of FL
nance Limanteur and j. P. Morgan
Jr. The latter is acting as the head
of Morgan & Co. during the absence
abroad Of his father, the founder OF
the banking firm.
Participating in the conference,
which lasted for more than an hour
and was held in the carefully guarded
suite of Limanteur on the fifth floor
Of the hotel. besides Morgan and Lii
manteur, were Cecil lGranfell. Brit
ish member of Parliament and prom
inent f1nancier. and d. p. Bennett, of
the Mexican National railways.
Following the meeting the visitors
Morgan later refused to comment on
his visit in any way. 1t was reported
in financial ciriles however, that Nor
gan & Co, which has disposed of all
of the recent Mexican bond issues,
served notice on Limanteur that the
credit of Morgan & Co. having been
placed behind the bonds order must
be restored in Mexico Immediately.
1t was reported that Limanteur
gave Morgan the contents of a long
cipher telegram which he received
from the Mexican government, today,
and which contained the latest devel-
opments in the southern republic.
Commenting on President Taft's
telegram sent to President Diaz, Lii
manteur said:
s"This communication from Presi-
dent Diaz. in which he said that there
is no excuse for the newspaper COM
n1ent on the military maneuvers plan
ned for Texas, will, 7 am sure, be re-
assuring both to my government and
20 w UIoo frr~ 11x,f
greatly disturbed by three sensational
staten ents.
at greatly regret the tone of many
of the comments of the American
newspapers upon the whole matter
and also the excessive number of false
alarms which are daily printed about
Mexico. 1t is impossible for me to
understand why sensational develop
ments should be expected with re-
spect to two peoples whose relations
are so we'll defined as those of Mexico
and the United States and who are
living and for long time have lived
as such good neighbors."
Limanteur made ~ublic the text of
the telegram which was sent direct
by President Taft to President Diaf
to supplement the message conveyed
by the American Charge d'Affaires 10
the Mexican Chief Executive through
the Mexican State Department. a copy
of which was sent over from Wash
ington today. It read as follows:
''The President of the United States
has the earnest desire to express to
President Diaz his firm purpose to
avoid the wrong Interpretation and
sensational construction made by he
upon the military maneu-
vers which are going to take place
in Texas as well as in other parts of
the United States, and he takes the
liberty of giving to President Diaz
and the Mexican government the as
surances that the maneuvers have not
the slightest Significance which should
cause any apprehension or feeling to
our good friend of the South
