COURT HOLDS WOMAN AS
POISON CASE WITNESS

May De Barleon was held in $500
bail yesterday by Judge Herr as a
material witness against Charles w.
Rochefort, the ~ex-convict who is now
in Jail on a charge of attempting
to poison his wife.
The police say Rochefort is also a
bigamist, having married the De Bar
leon woman in New York last month.
A charge will probably be made
against him there when the, local au-
thorities have finished with him on
the attempted murder charge.
Several days after Rochefort had
been arrsted on complaint of his wife.
who alleged he had put cyanide OF
potassium in her coffee, the De Bar
leon woman vas taken into custody
and, after being held at the Fourth
Precinct for three days, is said to
have confessed marrying the man.

blestones are rapidly disappearing
and in few days the grade will be
brought down to the proper level.
Certain residents of Washington

voicing their dissatisfaction with the
proposed width Of the roadway. 1t
is suggested that some of the more dis
gruntled may apply for an injunction
restrining the city from carrying out
the ordinance of Council until pro-
test is heard by the City Council.
No movement, however, has been
made in this direction so far.

Fight in the Smokeroom.

New York, Aug. 15.-With a
broken propeller and thrilling yarn
of transatlantic card sharps, the
Olympic, sister ship of the ill-fated
Titanic arrived in port today, almost
a day behind schedule.
White Star detectives were at Quar-
antine to see if any arrests should
be made but Captain Haddock de-
clined to request the detention of the
alleged card sharps who started a
free-for-all fight in the ships smoking
room on the way over. An Ameri-
can residing in Paris who was pas
senger, made a remark about a
crooked game, it was said, and one of
the alleged sharps struck him. The
American retaliated and soon several
passengers were involved.
Captain Haddock established a
"strong arm squad" to keep peace
the balance of the voyage. The
Olympic broke blade off one of her
propellers just after leaving Queens,
town.

CHECKED BY THE u. S.
Hundreds Killed and Wounded in
Recent Battles Between Govern
ment and Rebels.

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, Aug.
15.-Members of the peace commits
sion from the Central American Ar
bitration Court at Cartago, Costa
Rica, are on their way today to Man
aqua, where they will try to effect
compromise between President
Diaz' government and ex War Minis
ter Mena, the revolutionary leader.
1t is feared here, however, that Gen.
Mena will not talk peace until he has
been whipped and American inter-
vention is earnestly hoped for.
But for the fire of the United
States Bluejackets and marines in
Managua, messages from there say,
the revolutionists would certainly
have captured the city yesterday, its
native offenders being completely de-
moralized and the revolutionists ac-
tually in it's outskirts. Their artil-
lery fire, according to all accounts,
was deliberately directed toward the
United States legation.
The number of killed and wounded,
reports say, runs high into the hun?
dreds, including scores of women and
children. 1t is certain General Mena
knows the hospitals have been struck
by his shells but the revolutionists
seem entirely Indifferent to the safety
of non-combatants or of the wound
ed. Should they capture Managua
everyone is sure massacre would
follow.
No news has been received OF TO-
days developments but at last ac-
counts the revolutionists were pre-
pairing for a fresh attack.
