MRS. MATHER'S
 SUIT AGAINST MARY E. JAYNE

Denying that she refused to get up to cook her husbands breakfast and that she threw his bed out of the window, Jane E. Mather of Norwalk gave some startling testimony in the ~---~ '1r+ this morning when her $10,000 alienation suit against Mary
 esae ul DarIen had d hearing. Mrs Mather says her husbands af- fections were stolen by Mrs. Jayne. Charles Mather, the cause of conten- tion. sat in the court room beside Mrs. Jayne.
 Mrs. Mather testified that she was very fond of her husband and was very much grieved when he left her to live with Mrs. Jayne in November, 1910. The first she heard of his in tention was when he came to take his clothes away.
 On cross examination by counsel for Mrs. Jayne. Mrs. Mather indig- nantIy denied the charge that she threw the bed out of the window. Unless I was cleaning house." she added as an afterthought- She also nailed as Q lie the statement that she and her daughter had eaten large steak and refused to give Mather any, although he stood by and eyed the meat enviously.
 Mrs. Mather's three married daugh- ters. all handsomely gowned. sat near their mother and encouraged her. It is said that Mather- transferred bis property to Mrs Jayne shortly before the present suit was instituted.

DR. JOHNSON
 VICTIM OF "DIP"
 RECOVERS S7O

Thanks to the quick wit of Dr. J. Murray Johnson, the we'll known prac- titioner has not had to charge up to profit, and loss the sum of s7O which passej from his possession for a few nome nts yesterday. Dr. Johnson as we'll as the police is convinced that the money was taken from him by a pro- fessional pickpocket, or, as such crim- inals are known in police parlance, a dip"
 Dr. Johnson was riding west on a State street car, preparing to alight at his office, near Lafayette street, when he felt a tug at his pocket. He twinkling he was satisfied that the man who sat next to him had filched the wallet, but he resolved instead of creating a sceney to await develop ments. The suspect alighted and the physician following him at a fair dis tance noticed as he neared Park ave- nue that he'd ropped a mileage book.
 This gave pr. Johnson an excuse for hailing the man. He stopped, and as the doctor proffered the mileage book, he accused the man of having stolen his wallet. With a show of in- jured innocence the suspect vehement ly denied the accusation. But with the physician was friend who edged his way to the opposite side of the sus-
 
 and together they marched him down State street, preparatory to turning through Courtland street to police headquarters.
 They were passing West avenue when the prisoner, for he was virtually such, turned suddenly, and pointing to the street called the physicians att tention to his wallet lying near the car tracks The doctor snatched up the wallet, and found it's contents in- tact Then they released their pri- Soner.
 Dr. Johnson couldn't account for the fact that the wallet was in a part of the street that he had not travers- ed at all. It remained for Supt. Bir- mingham to explain away the doctors perplexity when the physician called on other business at police headquar- ters today.
 The professional dip travels in pairs The instant he pliers ones pockets, he passes his loot to his accomplice who makes a quick getaway without attention. The ordinary victim, if he feels any tug. at his gar ments, is not alarmed if his nearest neighbor remains seated Thus it was with pr. Johnson, in the opinion of the police. The man who took his wallet readily disposed of it to his pal, who escaped. Then, under plan, the confederate, see- ing the plight of the principal. placed the wallet in the street, giving the man under detention an opportunity to establish his innocence to the sat- isfaction of his captorS.

New York After Offices Of Free
 Eagles Society
Grand President Andrew Lengen of This City, to be Reelected President.

Though Bridgeport has always been the home and is the founding place of the First Slovak Wreath of the Free Eagle, an effort is being made by some of the delegates attending the fif- teenth annual convention now in Ses- sion in this city to have the perma- nent home of the order placed in New York city. Against this proposition the local delegates, numbering 19, are putting forth every effort to induce the other delegates to continue the home in this city.
 Bridgeport shelters in it's borders more Slavonians than any other city tiOns of New York and Chicago. Eff teen years ago the First Wreath of the Free Eagle was instituted in this city. In that decade and a half. the organization has spread so that today it numbers in this city membership of 1900 and has branches in all the New England states, in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Canada and in Baltimore and Chicago. The Bridgeport members of the Wreath, number slightly less than half the membership, yet there is an effort on foot to take away from this city the home of the order.
 The business of the meeting today was taken up with the readings of the of the various committees, and the reports from the delegates from each Wreath. All the reports show remarkable increase in membership and finances in the past two years. The reports of the Bridgeport Wreaths show that the order has property hold ings and finances in this city valued at over s1oO,0o0 The growth of the order is due considerably to the ef- forts of the Grand President Andrew Lengen of this city He is not can- didate for reelection. but the dele gates will elect him to the highest office at their command at the an- nual election to be held tomorrow.
 Yesterday afternoon a monster bali in honor of the delegates was held in Sokol hall, continuing until late in the evening. Many of the delegates. yesterday afternoon were driven about the city in autos and carriages, ex- themselves today as being we'll pleased with the treatment ac- corded them, and with the beauty of Bridgeport especially her parks.
 It is not expected the convention will come to a close until Friday Tomorrow morning the election of officers will be held fol- lowed by the discussion on the per- manent home.
 The delegates while in this city are living with. the members of the local Wreaths, while their meals are being served blythe ladies of the order at Sokol hall.

DiaZ Sails For Havana Before
 Going To Spain
Especial from United Press.)


 Vera Cruz, May 31-Unhonored and unmourned. his departure witnessed by only a handful of the loyal SUD- porters who have not already clamb- cred upon the Madero "band wagon. D General Porfirio Diaz will sail, late today, on the steamer Ypiranga for Havana, whence he goes to Spain, an exile. from the country over which he had ruled for a third of century.
 Surrounded by some 20 officers of his personal staff who have resigned from the Mexican army to accompany him into exile, General D1az and his family will be escorted to the steam ship docks by a detachment of troops from the local garrison. If DiaZ had his way he would remain in Mexico city and take his chances. It was due to the importuning of his wife, his daughter-in-law and his sister that he decided to leave.
 The deposed President refused to comment on a report that he will con- fer with General Bernardo Reyes. for merly Mexican minister of war, in Havana It is considered, certain however, that he will do so and some of the anti-Diaz leaders in this city are fearful of the result of that con- ference. They say that Diaz is far from having lost his influence in Mex ico and that a combination may be formed between Diaz and Reyes and Limanteur who is still in Mexico City, whereby one of their own clique can be elected President of Mexico at the coming election

sons who have the power to pay should have the power to employ. Originally this bill provided for vesting with the county commissioners the appointment of the jailers; I was opposed to that because l did not consider it just I am told that the new sheriff of Fair field county has expressed himself as favorable to this bill. He did not tell me so. My information came from others who said he told it to them'
 Rep. Hall of Willington condemned the bill as a most unusual one. He said he was very glad that the House leader said he had not personal inter est in it's passage. He said it looked badly to have such a bill come up on the last day of grace. If the sys- tenn was good enough during all the Republican administrations of the shrievalty office 1t ought to be good enough for their successors.
 'I am as good a Republican as any man in this House, but I cannot and will not lend my assistance to such a measure as this" (Applause.)
 Judge Banks said that he did not care about pressing the bill. As a matter of fact it had passed the Ju- dietary committee unanimously several weeks ago and he could not account for its being withheld until the last moment.
 Rep. Dunn of Wi1limantic said it was a most vicious measure and stat ed on the authority of Senator McNeil that Sheriff Vollmer was opposed to it.
 Judge Peck of Stratford said he was against the bill and moved the pre- vious question. Judge Banks wanted to withdraw his bill without the pre- vious question being put and moved that it be tabled. Representative Thoms called the speakers attention to his former ruling that the previous question could not be tabled. Judge Banks said that he did not want the previous question tabled because in his Judgment the House had not ordered it. He wanted his motion to suspend the rules tabled. The Speaker ruled that the previous question had been ordered and put the motion to suspend the rules, The House showed lis opin- ion of the kind of legislation that was attempted by voting unanimously against the suspension of the rules not even Judge Banks himself voting for 1t. This means that Sheriff Voll- mer will have the appointment of the janitor and his assistants at the coun- ty court house.

Thompson Seton Speaks Tonight
 On Boy Scouts
All Interested Are Invited to Attend His Lecture
 This Evening

Ernest Thompson Seton, one of the most famous naturalists in the world, and head of the Boy Scout" move ment in America, will deliver an ad- dress on that subject at the Board of Trade rooms in the Newfield building, this evening at 8 o'clock, under the auspices of the Board of Trade, and the local executive committee of the Boy Scouts
 The meeting is not confined to mem- bers of either of these boards, but the general public is welcome. Judging from MT. Setons fame, and his popu- larity as a speaker, the attendance will be a large one.
 MT. Seton is practically the organ izer of the Boy Scouts of America, and his address tonight will touch upon the aims and accomplishments of the Boy Scout movement. He has a number of very interesting and inn portant facts to detail upon his sub ject, and his address is sure to be a treat.
 Mayor E. T. Buckingham, who is chairman of the local executive com mittee of the Boy Scouts, will be pres ent at the meeting and will introduce the speaker.

 Hartford, May 31.-The House to- Gay by a unanimous vote rejected a motion made by House Leader Banks calling for a suspension of the rules to consider a favorable report of the Judiciary committee transferring from the sheriffs to the county commits sioners the power to appoint the jani- court houses.
 The bill was denounced by several members of the House as an attempt to deprive Sheriff-Elect Voilmer of flcials which have always resided with the Republican sheriff.
 Judge Banks said that personally he had no particular interest in the bill. He believed, however, it was meritorious. If it was to pass it must of grace (Meaning, of course, that Sheriff Hawley makes his exit today and Vollmer comes in tomorrow.)
 Rep. Murphy of Danbury opposed the motion to suspend the ruies. He said that the Democrats would to- morrow take possession of the office of sheriff in Fairfield county for the first time in 16 years. If this bill was a good one, why was 1t not pass ed during Hawleys term? If it was good enough for Hawley, 1t was good enough for Vollmer
  London said that it appeared that the Republicans not only wanted to gob- ble up all of the county commission CTS but now wanted to give to them powers which were by statute deIe- gated to other officials-and officials elected by the people.
