RARE OLD STRADIVARiUS
 THE OBJECT OF CONT ENTlON
Between U. S. Government and Estate
 of Late H. O. Hsvemeyer.

New York, Jan. 17--~A rare old violin made by Stradivarfus, whose strings have been thrilled by the touch of a European master and whose notes have delighted the heart of a Rothschild, has become the object of contention between the United States government and the estate of the late Henry O.. Havemeyer, the sugar nlagnate, in q suit which was begun here today.
 After the instrument was purchased for ,550 in London it is alleged that it was snluggled into Boston by a steamship officer. The violin subse- quently came into the possession of Mir Havemeyer and it is because no duty was alleged to have been paid that the government now seeks to have the instrument forfeited.
 In MT. Havemeyer's will, 1t is all legged. the instrument is appraised at S2,5eO. The customs authorities fix it's value at $10,937. The instrument is known as the ''Kiesewetter," having been given the name of 8 celebrated player who once owned it.

MADMAN IN GALLERY
 OF FRENCH DEPUTIES
Fired Two Shots at Premier Briand- Director of Public Relief Wounded.

Paris, Jan. 17.-A madman sitting among the spectators in the gallery of the chamber of deputies today sud- denly drew a revolver and fired two shots at Premier Briand. The premier escaped injury, but Leon Mirman, di rector of public relief, received one of the bullets in the leg.
 The greatest ce1nmotion ensued among the deputies, while several spectators sprang upon the Irladman who still had the revolver in his hand They bore him down and several of the deputies, running into the gallery struck at him. Then 1t was discovered by police who came to his rescue that the man was Ad. Gisolme, a well known individual, who had once made an un- successful attempt upon the life of the English consul at San Sebastian and had been incarcerated in an asylum for the insane.
 Amid all the uproar M. Briand nlain- tained his equipoise, apparently having become quite accustomed to being made the object of attack.

BANKS DOORS CLOSED
 AFTER A YEARS EXISTENCE. Scene of the Mysterious Barron Traa-
 edy of 1878 Recalled.

Dexter, Me, Jan. 1T.-After an ex- istence of A years, the Dexter Saw ings bank. tlre scene of the mysteri- ous Barron tragedy of 1878. closed it's doors today, owing about s400,000. The institution was closed by State ton, following an extended run on the bank by mill operatives, who became alarmed over reports regarding it's stability. The depositors were partic- ularly tinrid, as number of them had accounts of the Dexter branch of the Waterville Trust company when ot Called two years ago. The assets are listed at $429,27z. In & statement is- sued today, President Arthur P. Ab- bolt said that the institution was itt better condition than at any time dur irgS the past eighteen years. He said there was absolutely no suspicion of mismanagenent, but that the depos itors would lose their interest for an indefinite period.
 For years the name of the Dexter Savings bank was familiar to news paper readers of the country. On Feb ruary g, 1878, John W. Barron was found dead in the vault. His scalp was bruised, gag was bound over his lips and he was halidcufed, while 9 rope was loosely tied about his neck
 Upon the assumption that a homf eide had been committed, although 
 lieVed Mir. Barron was g. suiside, the neighbo1hood was searched for clues to the fnurderers. who were supposed to have been bank robbers Not 8 solitary bit of inforn1a tion tending to duplicate anyone was found until the fall of 1887, wren Charles Stain de- clared that his father, David L. Stain, had confessed to him that he and Charles Stains brotherin- Jaw, Oliver Cromwell, had attempted to rob the bank and assaulted Barron Not in tending to kill the cashier, they were alarmed when they realized that he was dead. and fled without footing the vault Stains account of the confess sion was corroborated by an ex-con- vict. who died some years ago.
 David l.. Stain was running a cob bier shop in Franklin, Mass, and Ol1- yer Cromwell his son-iT1-law. was liv- ing in Medford, Mass, when in Octo- Der, 1887, they were arrested
 They were tried in Bangor and were convicted on February 2, 1888 cf murder in the second degree, and sen- tenced tosstate prison for life.
 Tn December. 1900. the governor and council heard a petition for the par don, on the ground that they were not in Dexter the day Cashier Brown was sIain Witnesses testified to the pres ence of Stain in Medfieid on IFebru- ary 22. 1878. and ahbis for both men satisfied the pardoning authorities. On January 1. 1901, Stain and Cromwell were released from the state prison oy pardon, and they returned to Mas sachusetts.

SAT THREE AND A HALF HOURS
 AT THE ELABORATE FEAST.
By 1o.30 the Crowd of Eleven Hundred Diners Was Not Easy to Handle.

Baltimore, Md, Jau. 1.-The dem ocratic celebration came to joyous close with the banquet held in the Fifth regiment armory tonight. More than HOO diners sat abou the scores of tables arranged in gridiron fashion All of. the prominent democratic lead CTS who were present at the afternoon mass meeting, augmented by a train load of national legislators from Washington, attended the banquet which was one of the largest and most elaborate feasts ever held in Balti- more.
 Diamond Back Terrapin and the Reb'
 ei Yell Arrived Together.
 In every sense of the word tfls sperad was a bountiful one, and tn exuberance of spirits which brought enthusia spl to the afternoon gather ing reached its height ot the banquet The rebel yell'' made it's appearance with the arrival of the diamond back terrapin, and by the time tho canvas back duck was reached there was singing in all parts of the hall. While one group was engaged on Maryland, My Maryland" another was enthusi- sctically and more or less harmonious ly shouting that The Old Time Re- 1igion" was good enough for them.
 Rare old vintage wines were hb- orally interspersed with epicurean viz ands. The armory had been trans formed into an enormous garden of potten plants and flowers.
 The banquet began soon after o'clock and it was 10.30 before an att tempt was made to secure order. The immense crowd of diners by this time was not an easy one to handle. Inn promptu celebrations were in progress at many of the tables, and innprovised orators were holding sway to cheering coterries of enthusiasts gathered about them.
 Finally Toastlnaster Ferdinand Will Hams of Cumberland began his open ing address, despite the order.
 Too Full for Utteranee.
 When former Senator Blackburn, ,ths first speaker, mounted the table this action was taken as a sign that he had been introduced. He also exhibit ed gestures which aroused applause, but his usual eloquence failed utterly to still the crowd. Occasionally the words democratic party could be caught above the din, and these were all the audience needed as a signal for renewed outbursts.
 Champ Clark was asked to speak but said he was unwilling to burst his throat talking against such throng Major James C. Hempl1il of Rich mond. Va, who was to speak on "The Democratic Press" said he was afraid to undertake it.
 It was generally reported tonight that the outcome of today's celebra- ton would be that Baltimore may make a bid for the democratic conven- ton of 1912.

Hartford, Jan. 17-The legislature of Connecticut elected ex-Goy. George P. Mclean United States senator, at the session on Tuesday. There was no break in the solid republican front in either house, with the single excep- tion of Uncle John I. Hutchinson of Essex, Middlesex county. who exer- cised his prerogative to vote for an- other than the caucus candidate, and when his name was called he stood up and said, Morgan G. Bulkeley.'' It was said with emphasis, too, for Mir. Hutchinson was excluded from the re- publican caucus that nominated Sen ator Mclean last week and he proba- bly regarded the opportunity as his best chance to square accounts.
 He got d hearty round of applause from republicans and democrats alike, for, despite the fact that he is dis claimed by the republicans and him self disclaims the democrats, as far as regularity" is concerned his vote had no other effect than to esta bIish that he is a man of fixed opinions.
