discovery of one of the New York
scribes. Evans reached first base 81
times by stopping wild pitches with
various parts of his anatomy. Evans
never gave the appearance Of trying
to let the fioateers rub against him
but he had a way of crowding the

SPECIAL TRAIN
BRINGS BERNHARDT
TO BRIDGEPORT
FAMOUS FRENCH ACTRESS AND
COMPANY OF so PEOPLE WHO
APPEAR AT JACKSON'S To-
NIGHT TRAVEL IN DE
LUXE STYLE.

The New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad will operate one OF
the most magnificent special trains
ever furnished for the use of Madame
people, The great actress has express
ed her delight over the splendid equip
ment and luxury of the train. Each
day she expects to spend in the car
which will be always switched off to
some retired place where she may en-
joy fresh air and sunshine as much as
possible awav from town.
Her managers are responsible for
one very ingenious contrivance which
enables them to keep in constant touch
with Madame and her retinue. Her
car is fitted up with a special tele-
phone, with an attachment of wires
which can be connected with the tele-
phone service of any city with very
little effort, once the attachment is
made, and a. special electrician is car
ried along on the train, Madame Bern
hardt can call up her manager, either
at the theatre or the hotel at which
he is staying. OF course. some sta
tionary phone is put out of business
whenever Madame Bernhardt's special
wires are attached to it, but the N.
Y. N. H. 6. H. Railroad is making ev-
cry effort, indeed everybody is MAX
ing every effort to contribute to the
comfort and success of her last visit.
When Mr.. w. F. Connor, to whom
we are indebted for her coming, was
asked how difficult an artist Nine.
Bernhard was to manage, his eye
lighted up, and he replied with real
enthusiasm: 'She is the most tract
able great woman / ever knew. In all
her troubles, trials and difficulties,
physical and other, there has never
been a note of discord. And am
proud to say that Madame Bernhardt
declares that her latest American ex-
perience is by far her happiest.'
Madame Bernhardt has always had
a great passion for animals of all
kinds Even as child, she used to
carry about with her, in small card
board boxes, or cages that she manu-
featured herself, adders, which she
caught in the woods, crickets, which
she found on the leaves Of tiger lilies
and lizards. She had some death
watches in a little box and five spid-
ers in a cage made out of wire net
ting These would spin webs in the
sunshine while she and ten or twelve
full work of these little creatures If
one of her school mates cut herself,
she would go quickly to her, feeling
very proud and important, and say,
"Come at once, / have some fresh
spider web and I will wrap your fling
er in it," Provided with a little thin
stick, she would take the web and
wrap it around the wounded member.
"And now, my lady spiders" she
would say, you must begin your
work again. And active and minute.
mesdames. the spiders, began their
spinning once more.

ST0LYPIN QUITS POST
AS RUSSIAN PREMIER
Emperor Nicholas Promptly Accepts
Resignation of Cabinet Head
kokovsoff to Succeed.

st. etersburg-Emperor Nicholas
promptly accepted the resignation OF
P. A Stolypin, premier and minister
of the interior, and has named V. n.
Kokovsoff, minister of finance, to sue
coed him
Premier Stolypin presented his res
ignation personally to the emperor.
His action was due to the rejection by
the council of the empire of the
Zemstvo bill for self-government IN
the nine western provinces. The Sc
lection of M Kokovsoff was made by
the emperor on M. Stolypin's recon-
mendation after his majesty had ex'
hausted all means to persuade the
latter to retain his post. The reac-
tionary groups, which plotted Stoly-
pins fall, thus get small satisfaction
The present crisis, like that in 1909
when the question of the reorganiza
ton Of the Russian admiralty came
near distrupting the cabinet, seems to
indicate that the reactionaries lack a
statesman Of the proper caliber to
command his majesty's confidence.
The resignation Of the premier came
as total surprise to the emperor, who
was greatly disturbed for time.

SUES SECRETARY OF STATE
Hudson Brewer Claims Frear Was a
Law Partner of Howett, Who
Defrauded Many.

Hudson.-Suit to recover $500
and 5000 interest has been instituted
by Joseph Hockstein, a local brewer,
against Jas. A. Frear, secretary of
state, to recover losses resulting from
fraudulent transactions of George S.
Howett, now serving a term at Wau-
pun for forging mortgages while, it is
alleged, Howett was Frear's law part
ner.
Frear denies absolutely that part
nership agreement existed between
himself and Hewitt, and this is the
point on which the case will hinge.
Hewitt occupied Frear's Office in
Hudson after Frear went to Madison.
This question is an important one,
and if it is proven that Frear and
Hewitt were partners, it is stated
that other suits will be instituted.

DEWEY Is FRIENDLY TO JAPAN.
Admiral Denies Remark Credited to
Him by German Strategist.

Washington. - Admiral Dewey ex-
pressed his friendliness for Japan
in a card he gave out denying
statements in a published interview
with Count Ernest Won Reventlow, the
German strategist In this interview
Count Won Reventlow Is quoted as fol-
lows:
81 recall remark made by Admiral
Dewey just after the peace negotia-
tons had begun at Portsmouth, to the
effect that America ought to have at
tackled Japan at an earlier date, be-
cause she was becoming more power
full than was compatible with the in
terests of the United States"
Admiral Dewey says he never made
such a statement and adds: Further
more, my views are and always have
been just the opposite. 1t has been.
my aim ever since / assumed COM
mand of our Asiatic fleet, in 1898, to
cultivate a friendly feeling between
this country and Japan"
1t can be stated upon authority of
officials of the state department that
so far as this government is informed
there is no foundation whatever for
the startling reports emanating from
European sources of an inevitable war
with Japan.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
Is BEATEN By lANlIOh
NEGRO Educator Arrested in New YORK
After Fistic Encounter with
BIG German.

New York-A man was arrested
and locked up by the police last
on complaint of Booker 7. Wash
ington, the Tuskegee educator
charged with assaulting the negro.
Mr.. Washington was also taken into
custody but subsequently released.
The latter received so severe a blow
on his head from a club that he was
at the Flower hospital for over an
hour having the wound dressed.
The trouble occurred in front OF
Sixty-third street house, at which Doc
tor Washington called about ten
o'clock to see D. c. Smith, auditor OF
Tuskegee institute. No one answered
his repeated calls on the doorbell.
Thinking that Smith might appear any
moment, Mr.. Washington walked up
and down in the vicinity for more
than half an hour, when his wait was
interrupted by a man who emerged
with big club in his hand, according
to the complainant, and struck Doctor
Washington. The latter said he re-
turned the blow with his fist and held
the man until the police arrived. The
janitor acted, according to Doctor
Washington. "ss If he thought was a
burglar"
The alleged assailant, who is
large German, gave his name as AL
bert Ulrich.
Ulrieh told the police that he came
up from the basement with his club
when his wife complained that a negro
had been hanging around the hall
way, acting suspiciously. He walked
up to the man and asked him what he
wanted around there. No answer be-
ing given, he promptly grabbed the
man, ignorant that he was attacking
the prominent educator. In the mix
up which followed Ulrich welded his
club and received the return blow
which Doctor Washington admitted
he struck.
At the police station Doctor Wash
ington made no admission of his own
identity, and when he was forced to
do so the officers at the station house
were at first loath to believe him.

|. c. TELEGRAPHERs MAY STRIKE
Dissatisfied With Result of Arbitra-
tors Award, Vote Is Ordered.

Chicago. Fourteen hundred tele-
graphers employed by the Illi-
nois Central railroad between Chi
cago and New Orleans are taking a
strike vote, as a result of refusal by
the company to grant a wage increase
of Is per cent, with 80 cents an hour
for overtime.
Demands for the increase were
made by the telegraphers a year ago,
and the matter was submitted to arbi-
tration under the Erdman law. The
men were given a reduction in hours
of labor, with a vacation of two weeks
each year with pay.
They did not receive any wage in
crease. however, and never were salts
fed with the award.

COLONEL FOR HOME RULE.
Former President Objects to Ar
zona's Provision.


zona's Provision.
Phoenix, AriZ.-Home rule and
statehood for Arizona, even with its
new constitution providing for the mi
tiative, referendum and recall, were
advocated by Col Theodore Roosevelt
in an address here.
The former president criticized the
application of the recall to the judi
ciary, but expressed the belief that a
state has the right to settle such ques-
tons for itself. Exclusion Of Arizona
from the Union because its people
have adopted that principle as their
code is declared to be wrong.
In taking this stand the colonel falls
into line with the progressives in con-
gress against President Taft and the
conservatives, who have withheld ap-
prevail of the constitution of the pros
pective state, which they regard as
too radical.
