POINDEXTER AMAZED AT
 SENSATIONAL OPPOSITION
shin gton,

Washington, Feb. 2e-Professfng arnazement at the opposition which his simple resolution demanding the facts of the Lawrence situation" had developed in the Senate, Senator Miles Poi1dexter, of Washington, today de- nounced a Senatorial ring in an in- terview.
 Republican Senators like Lodge, Gallagher and Smoot are found fight ing shoulder to shoulder with Demo- cratic Senators like Overman, Bailey and John Sharp Williams to obstruct and delay a simple request for the facts" Poindexter said. Are these Senators afraid of the truth? They talk about the constitution and the theory of States rights. In the name of humanity, is the constitution a dead letter when it comes to the bill of rights and the supposed guarantees of personal liberty? Is the const tuition to be perverted into an instrument for the sole protection of property? Are there no human rights contenl- plated by the constitution when they come into contact with dollar ri ghts?
 'In my judgment, the most danger ous assault on the constitution has been done. asked for an inquiry. I am blocked by every available pre- text
 'Is it true, as Senator TiIlnan said, Monday, in the Senate, that Massac chu- setts has substituted industrial sav- cry for chattel slavery and in it's snug is afraid the facts will be brought to the attention of the world ?''

SOLDIERS MAY
 SOON BE ORDERD FROM LAWRENCE

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 2s.-Two hundred and fifty women and a score of men pickets who were walking along Essex street towards Jackson street about o'clock, this morning, were charged by Troop B of the state militia, some of the women being pur- sued by the cavalry several blocks to Knocked down and badly bruised in fhe back by a policeman's blackjack and another was arrested.
 Following the new policy of the au- thoritieS, the Metropolitan State Police, who had been reinforced by the cav airy made no effort to arrest more than the one woman.
 Following the arrival of Special Agent Gannenberg, of the department of justice, who came here from Wash 3ngton, on the personal order of At Vestigate the charges of brutality by militia and police to women and chil- dren, and to inquire into alleged il- legal methods of state and municipal authorities in arresting and trying strikers, there has been a remarkable cessation of official violence. This was particularly, this morning, when the Metropolitan state police and Troop B confined themselves to chas- bcak and afoot for several squares after the police had charged through the Essex street crowds without the swinging of wagon wheel Spokes: which have already cracked so many innocent heads.
 More eloquent evidence of the most obvious cessation of violence by state | and municipal authorities against the | atx1kers was given today in the au-

LACK OF EVIDENCE
 AUTHORITIES FEAR
 WILL FREE ACCUSED Nine Alleged ''White Savers, Captured In Sensational Raid, May Be Turn led Loose Com rnunity Again

It looks as if the cases against nine of the ten alleged white slavers who were arrested last week after a sen sational raid, would collapse in the criminal superior court. According to statements made today it is probable that nine of the men will be allowed to go. The only one to be held is Cesare Domenico of 624 East Main street, who is accused of being the leader of the gang. The state claims to have strong evidence against him.
 The ten men are charged with hay ing conspired with Joseph Lagno to slash Dora Eermann's face. The state has found it difficult to prove the charge against the men. Although they are morally certain that the ac- cused are guilty, there is not suffici- ent evidence to take before a jury.
 On February 21. when the sudden raid upon the Tenderloin resorts was made, Lagno jointed out these men, who were lettering about different restaurants and pool rooms. He said the men knew all ahout the s1aShing of Dora Hermann. But although the

 NOW HE'S SICK

As he was being led from tn county court house yesterday after noon after receiving an aggregate sen, tence of 35 years in states prison, Thomas Bonnecci of Danbury tainted. He fell to the floor and although Dr. John W. Vollmer, son of Sheriff Will liam Vollmer, administered restora- tives, it was an hour before Bonnec> ci revived sufficiently to be taken to the county jail. At the time sentence was given the prisoner appeared to be cheerful. He was singing until the deputy sheriffs arrived to take him to jail Then he suddenly groan- ed and collapsed utterly. He is now in the sick ward at the county jail.
 Bonnecci was accused of having fired several shots at Bernardo Gig Ieatto of Danbury and also of having slashed the face of John Dias "a rail- road brakeman.

 New York, Feb. 2S.-After having served five years of a 30 year sent ence imposed on his plea of guilty to burglary, which sentence was declar- ed illegal a few days ago by Justice Gerard, of the supreme court, Foulke 2. Brandt, the former Schiff valet. was released on bail, today. A surety company qualified on his bond of ST. 500 and he immediately left the Tombs prison in a taxicab. Brandt went directly to the office of his law yer, Mirab beau L. Towns, who said he had arranged a place where Brandt would be guarded until his testimony is given before the grand jury investi- gation the conspiracy charge in con nection with the original sentence inn posed on the valet
 Then he will be taken to a place in Minnesota arranged for him by United States Senator Knute Nelson
 Two indictments are pending against him. The first is for burglary in the first degree and the second for as sault. So far as the burglary indict- ment is concerned it will probably be dismissed as District Attorney Whit man has chara acterized it in court as improper and not warranted by the evidence.
 Former Warden Frost, of Sing Sing, and a number of officials from Sing Sing and Dannemora prisons were questioned, today, as to why Brandt, a first offender, was trans ferred to DannemOra, where none but old time crooks or tubercular prison CTS are confined.

MRS. MORRIS APPEALS TO
 U. s. COURTS
Wants Elmore $. Banks Dis charged As Committee of
 Her Person and Estate
Charges that Louis H. Mor- ris, Her Son, Has Conspir- ed to Defraud Her of Els tate.
Especial from United Press.)


 New York, Feb. 2S-AIeging that Louis H. Morris, of Fairfield. Conn.,. has conspired to defraud her of her estate, valued at considerably more than two million dollars, Mrs. Julia Curtiss Lawrence, applied to the Uni ted States District court, today. for an order setting aside the appoint- ment by the New York and Connec- ticut courts of Fillmore s.

 She caused a sensation, some time ago, when she married her physician, pr. c. Alfred Lawrence, many years her junior.
 In November 1907, the then Mrs. Curtiss announced that an Income is like a reputation and one might as well live up to it." She then began living at the rate of more than $500 a day. Her son, Louis H. Morris soon afterward had her arrested and later secured the appointment by the Con necticut courts of John M. Shaw and Elmore g. Banks as committee of her person and property. Soon after wards, a similar order was secured i from Justice Giergerich, of the su- preme court. alleging that Mrs. Cur tis was an habitual drunkard and not responsible for her actions.
 Mrs. Curtiss fought the appointment ! between this state and Connecticut | but her every move was defeated and | the court directed that she be allowed ] only $500 a month for her personal 1 expenses. It developed at the hear ! ngs in the case that in August 1on7 1 Norris kidnapped his mother from her yacht, the Osceola, and she was held 1 m restraint for two months, because, It was alleged, she was then planning to marry young admirer.
 Defeated in her efforts in the state courts to secure her property, Mrs. Lawrence. today. appealed to the Fed eral court which. last week. refused to consider a similar appeal from Tohn Armstrong Chaloner.

 Fire Chief Judson of the Stratford department called in the state police today to investigate many indications pointing to the fact that the blaze had been deliberately set by some one.
 The small house is said to belong to a Bridgeport man. The larger house next door was the property of V. Tit ter of Stratford and occupied by two families, the upper floor being rented by Mrs. G. Bound dwick, hvho has been for some time a patient at Bridgeport hospital.
 Edgar Long, a resident of Bruce road, Stratford, was the first to dis cover the flames, and he summoned the Stratford department which re- Sponded in quick time despite a mis- direction which delayed them a minute Arrived at the scene, Chief Judson saw that chemicals would never cope with the blaze, and the nearest hydrant was 300 feet away. far too distant for. their hose
