suFFRAcETTEs SLEEP
 AWAY FROM HOME
Make Picturesque Effort to Avoid Lon
 don Census Takers.

London, April 2.-Except as an ad- vertfsement for their cause, the op- position of the suffragettes to the talk ing of the census of London tonight was apparently a rather futile dem onstration. The midnight meetings which it was proposed to hold at Traf- alg9r< square and Westminster, with tfeJ object or marching in procession to a skating rink. where the women were to spend the night, proved a fiasco.
 Only about a score of suffragettes appeared at either rendezvous. At the skating rink there were exciting scenes, through the enormous crowds which had gathered to watch the pro- ceedings. They blocked the entrances and prevented the ingress of the suf- fragettes, some of which tainted in the crush
 Ultimately 8 large force of police was called out to clear the neighbor- hood. Many women spent the night at the rink, but it is understood that they were counted by the census off, cials as they entered A number of well-known men placed their resi- dences in the West End at the disposal of the suffragettes, who are sleeping on sofas, tables and chairs. The host esses took the risk of being fined for refusing to account-for their guests.
 In Edinburgh, Birmingham and other cities the suffragettes adopted similar tactics.

POLICEMAN
 KILLED BY AN ITALIAN.
Man Held as Suspect Made Desperate
 Efforts to Escape.

Providence; R. l., April 2.-As a re- suit of a bullet. wound in the head, re- ceiyed when attempting the arrest of two Italians on Atwell street last night, Patro1man John F. Brennan died at the Rhode Island hospital early to- day. Bruno Bertucci, from the Italian district, is held as a suspicious person in connection with the hunt for the slayer.
 Immediately after Brennan was shot Sergeant Martin and Officer Angelly were sent over to Federal Hill, the Italian section, where they found Der tucci hurrying toward his home on Bartlett street. The officers say that Bertucci answered the summons to stop with three shots, and that run ming battle followed, which ended when Bertucci threw away his gun and plunged into the Woonasquatucket river.
 On reaching the opposite shore the fugitive was met by a third police man, who had been attracted by the noise of the firing. Bertucci was taken to the police station, where it was found that a shot from Sergeant Mar tins revolver had shattered his arm.

CIGAR BOX CONTAINED
 MANS HAND AND FOOT.
New York Police Get susy sn the
 Murder Theory.

New York, April 2.-Boys playing in 125th street tonight found a cigar box which contained a right hand and left foot from the body of . man. Cor oner Holtzhauser expressed the opinion that murder had baen committed.
 On the third finger of the hand was a gold ring bearing the initials "A- F." and around both hand and foot were wrapped a German newspaper and handkerchief. The members had been cut away from a body apparently for more than a week.
 Box Also Contained Torn letter.
 The box was found behind & Ejrder between Lexington and Third avenues When the boys kicked it open scraps of a letter written on blue paper flew out The police recovered only a. few of these, making out upon one of them in heavy English scrawls '-cuz-" 'accuz" Detectives believe the letter was written by murderer to the vfc- tim.
 May Be Boy Who is Missing.
 That it was a case of murder the police became convinced upon consid- eration of the circumstances, which reminded many of the central ofice detectives of the famous Guldensuppo case of the nineties. A possible clue gested by the bureau of information at feadquarters where the records show that Alfred Felly. a IS year old boy, had been missing since Dec. 27 last.
 It was noted that the boys initials corresponded with those found on the ring of the dismembered hand. The hand appears to have been. forcibly torn from the body The foot Is dis membered just above the ankle bone, apparently with a dull instrument.

Washington April 2.-Although the democrats in the house by official cau- GUS action have declared for taf1n 1og- islation during the extra seesfQn of congress, beginning Tuesday, the pre- diction was freely made in congTes- Aonal circles tonight that no such leg 1slat1on can be put through the senate, and that the extra session will adjourn earlier than has generally been an- ticipated.
