PREMIER ASQUITH REJECTS
DEMANDS OF SUFFRACETTES
FOLLOWING CONFERENCE TODAY
Especial from United Press,

Especial from United Press,
London, Nov. 17-An immediate re-
turn to militant tactics is promised by
English suffra gettes as a result Of
Premier AsQuith's rejection, today. of
their demand for the addition of an
equal rights clause to the election re-
form bill the administration is about
to introduce in parliament.
With leading members of his cabi-
net, the premier received suf-
fragette delegation led by Mrs.
Christabel Pankhurst, at his official
residence in Downing street, but the
conference came to nothing, Asquith
b!untly telling his visitors. at the con-
clusion of a somewhat acrimonious
debate that he could not conscienti-
ously make equal rights an adminis-
tration issue. He added that the
House of Commons can, if it chooses,
amend the election reform bill but
since the administration has, under
the English governmental system, a
majority in the House. of which the
Premier is the leader, this statement
was merely perfunctory.
The election reform bill provides for
the abolition Of the system under
which voters are entitled to a ballot
in each constituency in which they
have property interests and greatly
modifies the property and residential

Subject For The
vesper Institute
CHRISTIAN SCHOLARS VIEW OF
GOD AND UNIVERSE THEME
FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

"The Christian Scholars View of
God and the Universe" is to be the
theme of DIR. r. L. Swain's address
at the South church Vesper Institute
this Sunday afternoon. The service
begins at o'clock. The two past
Sundays have been given to the task
of setting forth the bald facts of
Christian Science, stripped of it's mis-
conceptions. In like manner this ad-
dress will treat the Christian view.
The purpose of this series Of lectures
is to compare the thought of the
Christian believer with that of the
Christian Scientist. The way has been
to compare not the mistaken or dis.
torted views of either, but the real
things. after both views have been
cleared of popular misconceptions.
'The Christian Scholars View of
God and the Universe" will be pre-
sented in a very plain, simple man
ner. There will be no condemnation
of those whose philosophy Of life is
different.

Finding a man who TALES to the
description of Antonio Esposito, the
murderer for whom the local authori-
ties have been searching several weeks,
the police of Winsted this morning
are holding an Italian who gives his
name as vincenzo Triano. Detectives
of the local force left for Winsted this
morning, to identify the man if possi-
BILE.
If it proves to be the man wanted,
the local authorities will rejoice. Es-
pOSito committed one of the most bru-
tai murders in the history of the city
and then made his escape. The police
are naturally anxious to lay their
hands upon him.
Last night two Italians went on a
spree In Winsted and were arrested.
This morning the police chief there
tallies with the description of the
missing murderer. One of the first
points noticed was the fact that the
man is pigeon toed, as is the muir
derer
The Bridgeport police were at once
notified and representative of the
local force will be in W.nsted this af-
ternoon to look over the suspect. The
Winsted police are not altogether sure
of the man. On makin&s a careful
examination they found some points
which do not tally with the descrip-
tion On the whole, however, there
is enough SINH arity to warrant a
careful investigation.
The man under arrest protests that
he Is not Espesito. He says that he
never was in Bridgeport. He declares
that he was working on the Central
New England railroad until a few days
ago and then worked upon a farm in
Hartland. He went to Winsted last
night to draw his pay from the rail-
road, and got drunk and was arrest
ed.
Antonio EsDosito. is wanted for the
murder of his uncle. Dominic DiChar-
giano. The crime was committed on
Sunday evening, Oct. 29.
Esposito and his uncle were quar-
reling as to who should be godfather
to Esposito's child. In At of drunk
en- rage the younger man sprang upon
his unc e.: and cut his throat from
and killing his victim almost instant
".
Before the police were Informed Of
the crime Esposito had gotten out Of
the city. He was aided by many
friends who furnished him money and
clothes and threw all the dust possi-
BILE in the eyes of the authorities.
The murderer answers to the follow
ing description: Five feet six inches
In height, sharp nose and features,
pigeon toed. small in build, sallow
complexion, regular teeth. At the
time of the murder he Wore green
sweater, dark clothes, red tie and
light cloth cap.

BEEF PACKERS
THWARTED BY
JUDGES RULING

Chicago, Nov. 17.-What the gov
ernment counsellors characterize as
"first blood in their fight against the
dilatory tactics of the beef packers
indicted for conspiracy under. the
Sherman law, was the action of Judge
Kohlsaat, today, in ruling that the
Sherman law be construed so that a
conclusion may be rendered before
Monday when the trial of the pack
ers is scheduled.
This is the way counsel for the
prosecution viewed the mandate from
the bench, today, that arguments in
support of the packers petition for
a writ of habeas corpus must be con-
cluded shortly afternoon, today. Such
an arrangements will permit the gov
ernment to close the argument, late
this afternoon, or tomorrow morning,
and, possibly. permit of a decision by
Judge Kohlsaat before Monday.
Attorney Levy Mayer. for the pack
ers, continued his argument against
the Sherman law.

Starving Negro

Exhausted and overcome by cold,
hunger and exposure, Charles Ford,
coIored, of Balti- ,ore, Md, sank down
in the doorway { a drug store at the
corner OF East Main street and STRAIT
ford avenue this noon in dead faint.
The ambulance corps was summoned
and the exhausted man was taken to
the Emergency hospital and revived.
Ford, who is 25 years of age and
single, told a pitiful story. For over
a week he has been sleeping in an
empty wagon drawn up near the fac
tory of the American Graphophone
company. His thin clothes served but
poorly to protect him from the keen
wind, in his half starved and ex-
hausted condition. From inside the
shop he could hear the strains of the
graphophones playing ''The Fields of

the city in vain for work until over

into his case and ascertain what may
be done for him.

JACKS0N'S PLAN
FOR PUBLIC PARK
HAS A HEARING
OWNERS OF PROPERTY ADJOIN-
ING PROPOSED SITE DIS
CUSS THE SITUATION.
Park Commission Now Has Project
Under COnsideration-Price Not as
Large as Published-Plot Same
Size as Washington Park.

Interest in Former Alderman Hor-
ace Fl .Jackson's project of the city
taking over the M. A. G. lot at Clin-
public park was stimulated by a
meeting of a number of property
owners and residents of the vicinity
where the proposed park is located,
at the home of Sigmund Loewith, 835
Clinton avenue, last evening.
Mr.. Jackson's plan for the city $
making a park Of the lot was dis
closed at length. He said he had the
project in mind for more than two
years, and long before the matter
reached a point where he thought it
was timely that it should be intro
duced into the Common Council he
had held conferences with prominent
residents near the proposed park.
Among the people at the confer
ence was F. J. Banks. a retired bank
er who owns the property. While
the price at which he is willing to
dispose of the property to the city
was not divuiged, those who attended
the conference declare that the own
er's price of the property to the city
is much les than he could obtain by
selling it privately.
The majority of those in attendance
at the meeting were heartily in favor,
it was said, of the park project. The
meeting was purely informal how
ever, and nothing was done to inter-
fere with the Board of Park Com
missioners proceeding in the regular
course of their business to taking up
the proposition for consideration. At
the last meeting of the board a com
mittee was appointed to look into the
matter.
AS a result of the meeting, how
ever, a. number of residents of the
Fifth district will urge upon the Park
Commissioners committee the adviSa-
bility of esta bliahing a park in the
vicinity mentioned.
The objection to the establishment t
of a park on the ground that it
would attract undesirables to the
vicinity was confined, it was said to
one man who attended the meeting.
Whatever other objection was raised,
was on the ground of the expense
that would be entailed if the city
were to purchase the property.
While the people who attended the
meeting would not disclose the terms
made by Mr.. Banks, it was said that
the price of sS7, 8a6smentioned today
was far in excess of that fixed by Mr..
Banks.
The NJ A. c. lot is about the size
of Washington Park.

PRESIDENT NOW
HAS SCIENTISTS
ON HIS TRAIL
fspecial from Omitted Press,


Washington, Nov. 17-Declaring that
President Taft has arbitrarily forbid
den the practice of Christian Science.
in the Panama Canal Zone, national
representatives of that faith, today
began an agitation which they say
will be taken before Congress. The
Christian Scientists assert that an
executive order issued by the Presi-
dent, last month, makes it absolutely
impossible for a Christian Scientist to
practice on the isthmus without in
curing danger of a fine and impri-
sonment. The order provides that it
shall be unlawful to practice without
health of the canal zone, naming a
fine of $25, and Imprisonment for not
to exceed 80 days as the penalty. 1t
continues:
"Any person shall be regarded as
practicing medicine within the mean
ing cf the order who shall prescribe
for, operate on Or in any way attempt
to heal, cure or alleviate or who shall,
in any wise, treat any disease or any
physical or mental ailment of an
other''
This clause, the scientists claim,
covers, their case exactly. The board
of health would not issue them IL
them, which their faith forbids, and
they are outside the law when they
endeavor TO practice without a Ii
cense they say.
Officials of the canal zone with
whom the order originated declined to
give any opinion as to whether the
practice in Christian Science was for
hidden on the canal zone. They also
declined to state the circumstances
which caused the request that the
President issue such an order.
The order was recommended first by
Colonel Goethals, in a communication
to the Washington office of the canal
commission The commission for
warded it to the secretary of war by
whom it was transmitted to President
Taft for signature. Assistant Secre-
tary oliver, who was acting secretary
at the time. said. today. that the rec
onmendation was handled as mere
routine and that he had no recollec-
ton of it. 1t was said, at the canal
commission offices, however, that the
order was sifted froln a Jaw on the
statute books. There was little
doubt that the law was intended to
exclude all practitioners not recogniz-
ed by the regular schools of medicine
though the officials declined to be
quoted to that effect
