Wickersham Denies
 That He's Planning to
 Jail Trust Men

New York, Sept. 23-Wall Street was amazed for more than an hour today when it read in the Worlds that At torney General Wickersham, who for years was one of the most noted cor poration attorneys in this city, was on the war path and that he plan ned to jail all trust officials. Wick ersham, according to the World, was also going to refuse to permit any of the trusts which were defying the Sherman law to reorganize without being compelled to face court disso- lutiol suit
 The statement, however, failed seri- ously to affect the market, the SUD- port brought forward yesterday by J. P. Morgan and his associate banks, holding good.l Shortly after Il o'clock, however, the stock ticker of the New York News Bureau, carried the fol- low dispatch:
 Breton Woods, N. H-Attorney General Wickersham denies the au- thenticity Of the alleged interview with him published in the New York World, this morning."
 The denial was accepted by the stock exchange as authentic because of the fact that the attorney general had heretofore indicated in his public speeches that he was willing to ger init all of the big trusts to reorganize along the lines laid down by the Su- preme court in it's recent decision. The market received the denial with considerable pleasure

TO CHLOROFORM BOY UNTIL HE
 DIES BY DRUG

Chicago, Sept 23.-The famous question in medical ethics, whether it is ever justifia ble for a physician to put an end to the suffering of an in curable patient, revived by the al- legged Shaker murder case in Florida, was renewed here. today, when phy- sicians at the county hospital an- nounced that they intended to chloro form Earl Barnes, 7, and keep him under the influence of the death deal ing drug until he died
 They will not kill him, but they will do nothing to prolong his life of suffering, they say. Two weeks ago the child was bitten on the nose by a pet dog. His mother applied sim pie household remedies and gave lit tie heed to the slight wound. Today, rabies set in. The child was rushed to the pasteur institute but the physi- clans there, after a thorough exami- nation, declared the disease so far advanced that there was no chance to save the lads life.
 In wild agony, the boy began biting himself and even tearing at furniture with his teeth. Several hospitals re- fused to receive him because of his hopeless condition. His parents final ly took him to the county hospital, where the staff of physicians declar- ed that he must die.
 An anesthic was applied and the doctors say he will never come from under 1t.

Congressman Tom
 Reilly Sore Over
 Charter Amendment

Meriden, Sept. 23.-Congressman- Mayor Thomas l.. Reilly, of this city, discovered, today, that the General Assembly now closing passed an amendment to the city charter pro- viding that, when the mayor is absent from Meriden for more than four days at a time, he shall lose his sal ary during his absence. Such salary is to be paid the acting mayor.
 State Senator Wilbur F. Parker, who is acting mayor, also, admitted having introduced this amendment. He denied having any ulterior motive, however, because the amendment, does not go into effect until next year.
 Mayor Reilly has been absent from the city for long stretches at a time, during his attendance at Congress. What makes him ''sore" he acknowl- edged, today, is that the amendment was tackled on to other amendm the corporation counsel had drawn up and that no public hearing was held on it. At least, said Congressman Reilly, nobody in Meriden, except probably MT. Parker, was aware Of it's existence until today.

MRS. SULLIvAk'S DEATH
Wife of Leading East Side Merchant Succumbs Fol
 lowing Operation

In the unexpected demise of Annie B. Cunningham, wife of Eugene l.. Sullivan, the East Side business man, which occurred yesterday afternoon at St. Vincent's Hospital, a wife and mother of singularly lovable qualities passed away. Mrs. Sullivan had been in ailing health, and an operation was deemed necessary. Accordingly she was removed to the hospital and the operation performed by her family physician, Dr. w. J. A. OHara. Mrs. Sullivan rallied and was rapidly gain ing strength. Preparations were be- ing made last Thursday to remove her to her home at 1905 Noble avenue, when a change in her condition was noted. Peritonitis set in and the poison made rapid inroads, lock-jaw developing, death following.
 In her passing the bereaved family loses a. loving wife and mother, and the community a woman beloved and respected by all who knew her. Dur ing her life in this city, which covered a period of 35 years, she formed many native of Woodbridge, N. J., and was in her 46th year. In all her years in this city she resided in East Bridge port.
 In 1884 she married Eugene L. Sul- livan; the nuptials being performed at St. Mary's church by the late Rev. John F. Rogers. Particularly sad about her endr is that her husband, who has been in business in East Bridgeport for many years has but recently purchased a beautiful home in Noble avenue. The home had been occupied but five months and Mrs. Sullivan was really beginning to en- joy life and her husbands prosper ity
 To mourn her loss are her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Mary Hart and Agnes Sullivan, and three sons, Rob- ert, Archibald and Eugene, Jr Flu neral services will be held on Monday morning

Big Crowd Sees
 Women In Dispute

A large crowd at Main street and Fairfield avenue last night watched with great interest dispute between MT. and Mrs. Clarence Hayes and Mrs Legere, mother of Mrs. Hayes. The argument finally waxed so warm that Mrs. Legere struck Mrs. Hayes in the face. She also attempted to strike Mir. Hayes but he managed to dodoge the blows without striking her in return.
 The affair attracted such a crowd that Policeman Henkels and McCar- thy rushed to the scene, Mrs. Legere claimed <hsr son-inzfaw had struck her and she wanted him arrested but the policemen were convinced that young Hayes had not struck the woman. The officers escorted the parties in. the dispute westward on Fairfield avenue until they left some of the crowd in the rear.
 An attempt was made to settle the dispute peacefully and the participants finally went away. No arrests were made. It is said that Mrs. Legere ex- pressed her displeasure at her daugh- ter's marriage which took place re- gently MT. and Mrs. Hayes were walking along Fairfield avenue when they met Mrs. Legere. Then the arr gument started and it continued for about 30 minutes.

Taft Starts Real
 West Campaign
 At St. Louis Now
Special from United Press.

(SpeclaI rom OnlCeQ HreSS.)
 St. Louis, Mo, Sept. 2S-Beginning the real invasion of the west" Presi- dent Taft has crossed the Mississippi and began his western campaign with three speeches in St. Louis. That the campaign will be one of defiance was the unanimous opinion of those who heard the President in his speeches at Peoria, yesterday.
 '1 accept responsibility for every thing I have done. I could not do otherwise, and if the people do, not like it then they may repudiate me"
 That was the attitude of the Presi- dent as he prepared to invade the solidly insurgent territory of the west
 The Executive is deeply affected by the defeat of reciprocity, the big is- sue upon which he had placed depend- ence, and is in for a do or die fight.
 ''I will go through with this trip no matter what happens he promised in She east, and he reiterated that de- termination with added vigor, today.
 Breakfast at the Mercantile Club was the first function on the Presi- dents program here today. He was met at the station by quite a gather ing and escorted to the club. An luncheon at the Jefferson Hotel, the St. Louis University football game, the National League baseball game, and a big meeting tonight complete the days events.
 Champ Clark and President Taft were in the Union Station here at the same time, this morning, though they did not meet. Clark, who is starting on a speaking tour through Kansas, was on hand to make an early start for Hutchinson, Kas., where he is to deliver an address. The Taft party left the vast depot as the Speaker was making his way toward his train.
 Taft was introduced at the Mercan- tile Club breakfast by Governor Had ley.I
 T am very sorry to announce (you may not have heard iD that the reci- procity policy between this country and Canada is not going through said the President. T observe that the distinguished speaker of the House of Representatives is engaged in dis am content with the decision Canada has made and I don't suppose it makes much difference who is respon- sible.
 T am familiar enough with court decisions to know that when I get a decision that hits me between the eyes, the best thing to do is to sit still. All I can say now is that it is a past issue except insofar as mak- ing me responsible for putting through something which didn't pass is con- cerned."
 In acknowledging Governor Hadley's introduction, President Taft said:
 My friend Governor Hadley is just back from New Jersey where he att tended the conference of Governors, which body called the attention of Congress to state rights. I have no doubt that the supreme court, in it's consideration of the question, will give it careful attention in it's rela- ton to the constitution"
