MARIE SCHILLER
SAVES FATHER
FROM SUICIDE
Calls Special Policeman Larney
Who Takes Rope From In.
toxicated Mans Neck
Schiller is Now Under Arrest
and Deprived of Everything
With Which He Could Take
His Own Lie

Please, Mister Larney, come quick!
My papa'S got a rope around his
neck!'' cried four years old Marie
Schiller Of 403 Spruce street, as breath
less and sobbing she rushed around
the corner from her home to the
home of Special Policeman Michael j.
Larney,. the jaintor of Bostwick ave-
nue. school.
Larney hurried into the Schiller
home, where he found the head Of
the household on his knees in a cor
ner, with a stout rope drawn twice
hand. He had drawn the rope so
taut that his face was growing black.
In the same room in a corner lay an
infant, crying in a cradle because the
four years old girl had left her.
Larney snatched the rope out Of
Schiller's hands, and threw him on a
cot beside q window which he flung
open for fresh adr. In a few moments
the man was as well as ever, except
for a bad case OF intoxfcation. Lar
ney turned him over to Investigator
Morrissey OF the Charities department.
Schiller has a long police record and
he Is known both at police headquar-
as g. worthless character. Burglary,
drunkenness, wife beating and nom
support are included in the long po-
lice record beneath his name.
Schiller is % years old, the father
Of Ave. He rarely works. His wife
is scrub woman when she Is able to
leave the house, and when she can
not provide for the family, the Char
tiles department has been called upon
to do So. Schiller has served jail
sentences for non-support but they
have had little beneficial effect on
him. Investigator Morrissey turned
Schiller over to the police at head
quarters and charged him with being
drunk.
] Schiller was carefully stripped Of
all devices that might aid him to end
his life and then locked up in pad
ded cell.

Of the local plant the stock was tn
creased to 5000. 900.
The records in the Office of the town
clerk do. not show what transpired in
the company. as the laws were chang
ed relative to joint stock companies.
In 1906 the town records show w. A.
Gripptn to be the president of the
company. but he had undoubtedly
been president of the company for
several years before that.
On Nov. Z. 1904 the capital stock
of the company was increased to S4,-
100000. fully paid in. and the company
began to operate under a new special
charter secured in the Legislature.
The charter permitted the company to-
acquire capital stock in any other
corporation in this State or any other
State, and to acquire any similar bus
mess.
Since that time Mr.. Grippin has be-
come a world power in malleable iron
1t is said that there is not a MALE
able iron plant in the country that hei
has not become interested in underf
the broad charter granted to the local,
company. He is known to be inter-
ested in plants at Wilmington, Del, !
the Troy Malleable Iron Co.. the Vul-'
can Iron Works of New Britain. the
Whittemore foundries at Naugatucl<,
and several Western plants.
Mr.. Grippin was director in thef
Pequonnock National bank of tfisI
York and it is believed that his for
tune outside of his Malleable Iron in
terests will show investments in manyi
high grade securities. Mr.. Grippini
was one Of the few men in the coun- |
try upon whom the financial men of
the country did not have a line Hei
did not want a rating because he did
not need it. It is said that there is
no one who knows the extent of hist
wealth.
All his life Mr.. Grippin was Closely
allied in business with the late ]. H.
Whittemore of Naugatuck. When Mr..
Whittemore died it was stated that hei
would leave an estate of over $50, ,000.- :,
900 Of dollars. But when the inveIl-
tory was filed it was found that it
was only valued at few million. It
was found that the bulk of what was
supposed to be the Whittemore es-
tate was owned by the Whittemore
Holding Co. and that the stock of the
company was held by his sons.
Judge Nicholson was asked this
morning if he thought Mr.. Grippin
company. He replied that he did not
know and nothing would be known
until the appraisers had an opportun-
ity to go over the dead mans papers.
Miss Edna Adell Grippin who gets
a third of the fortune is engaged to
Marry Louis Sheldon Morris, grand
son of Marshall e. Morris of Nobla
avenue.
It was supposed that if Mr.. Grippin
had made a will that ne would have
provided for a number of Baptist in
stitutions which were his benefciar-
les during life.

WILLIAM A. GRIPPIN,
MALLEABLE IRON KING.
DID NOT LEAVE A WILL

William A. Grippin, the "Malleable
Iron King. President of the Bridge
port Malleable Iron Co., who died on
his honeymoon few days ago at
Grand Canyon, Arizona did not leave
a will. On being informed this morn
ing that the deceased died intestate,
Judge Edward F. Ha1len appointed
William J. Grippin, son Of the de-
ceased and Judge Edward K. Mich
olson co-administrators Of the estate
under joint bond of s., ZOO, 900. The
bond was posted at once by surety
company.
One third of the vast fortune of
many millions will go to Mrs. Grippin,
nee Minnie TiIlou Of New Haven a
bride OF only a few months, who is
entitled to her dover rights.
The remaining two-third will be di-
v1ded equally among the two children
of the deceased by his first marriage,
William J. Grippin and Miss Edna
Adell Grippin.
All Of the heirs at law signed a
waiver of hearing and the administra-
tion will issue at once upon the ac-
ceptance Of the bond.
The estate is undoubtedly one of the
largest that has ever been probated
In the district court although there is
no way Of estimating how large it will
be shown by the inventory.
Judge Edward K. Nicholson who
was attorney for the deceased and
who knew a great deal about his per-
sonal affairs said this morning that
he had no idea of the value of the es-
tate. Asked IL he thought it would
reach $6,000,000 he said that he did
not think it would.
William J. Grippin when asked for
information referred the reporter to
Judge Nicholson
Judge Ha1len appointed Stiles E..
Goodseal, w. H. Griffith and Thomas
M Cullinan appraisers of the estate. .
There Is much speculation as to
what the value of the estate will be.
The probate court has been informed
that value Of the personal estate alone
will be about one million.
Mr. Grippin is said to own the
greater part of the stock of the
is capitalized at $4,000. 900. His real
estate in this city is valued at $28, no.
according to the tax books. and the
Bridgeport Malleable Iron Co. pays
taxes in this city on s317,750.
On February 25, 1879. the Bridgeport
MaIleable Iron CO. was formed with a
capital stock Of $4,000. It's shares
were held as follows: B. B. Tuttle. 100;
J.. H. Whittemore. tthe former king
Whfttemore. trustee. 100 shares; Will
lard Hopkins. 120 shares: Novs s..
wilnaot. 67 shares: gAdelbs.-t c.. futile,
so, and Lucien D. Warren, 120.
On June IL. 1882, the capital stock
was increased to 500. 900. and on April

Clash Between Mexican
Minister OF Finance And
Taft On War Situation

tivity will be limited to this side of
the international boundary.
The diplomatic relations between
the United States and the Diaz gov
ernment, eliminating, yesterday, in
the conference at the White House
between Ambassador De La Barra and
President Taft, has determined a de-
finite policy of action in which tn
Mexican Federal army and the Amer
lean troops will move in concert, if
necessary, for the preservation of the
present government in Mexico. 1t is
pointed out that there is, therefore,
no longer any necessity for secrecy
The only question remaining in
doubt is what this government will
consider necessary cause for action
is outlined in the following state
ments of the objects Of the mobiliza-
ton: First, to stand ready to invade
Mexico; second, to check the seces-
sionary movements in l over Cali
fornia; third, to patrol the border
and prevent fiiibustering; fourth, to
serve as threat against any de-
struction Of American property in
Mexico; fifth. to engage in practice
maneuvers for the benefit of the
army and army critics.
The Diaz government has informed
the administration that the revolu-
ton Is now depending almost entirely
upon support given it from the Amer
lean side Of the line. The present
patrol Of troops is entirely inadequate
to prevent filibustering, it is said. The
mobilized army will practically estab-

government hopes that this will so
cut off the revolutionists from their
source of supplies that they will be
greatly weakened.

Lower California not only COM
mands Magdelena Bay, one of the
best practice grounds for the war
ships on the Pacafic coast, but the
whole territory is filed with Japanese
as well as Mexican insurrectos. If
it should fall into the hands of an
unfriendly power it would be a con-
slant menace to the safety of both
the United States and Mexico.
If the Japanese should be, able to
dominate the revolutionary govern
ment established in Lower California,
a doorway for a strong foothold would
be provided for an invasion of the
Pacific coast states from the south
ward.
In its present condition, harassed
by the revolution and sedition tactics
throughout the country, Diaz cannot
afford to send enough troops into
Lower California to control the situa-
ton. It will devolve upon the Amer
lean troops and warships, being mobi-
hzed at San Diego, to dominate Low
er California and prevent the forma-
ton of any anti-Diaz government
there. In order to do this American
soldiers and ships would be domonat-

sary cause for action"
