WOMAN'S WIT RESPONSIBLE
FOR POLICE CAPTURE
Deserves Trapping, He Says,

I'D rather have my tongue torn
out than tell my real name" said
dapper well-dressed Raffies after he
had been trapped and arrested in
Belleville early today through the
quick wit of n woman
Chief of Police Flynn, of Belleville,
brought the burglar to Newark in or
der that Captain Carroll, of the de-
tective bureau. and Superintendent
Schwartz, of the Bertillon bureau,
could look up his record.
The prisoner is thought by the po-
lice to be member of a daring band
of automobile thieves who have been
operating in this neighborhood.
The man gave. as an admittedly fic-
titious name. Edward Howell" He
said he was 32 years old and a New
York salesman. He confessed to hav-
ing robbed five Belleville homes dur
ing the early hours of the morning.
Mrs. Mary Faull. the wife of mo-
torman, had seen her husband leave
for his work shortly after a. M. and
was about to return to bed when she
heard noise outside the house. She
Immediately suspected that burglar
was at work She rushed out on the
front porch and came face to face
with Howell, who had been at work
shipping the wire of front window
screen.
You get away!" she shouted.
Howell did get away-headfirst over
the porch railing.
Mrs. Faux then told Richard Cadiz,
brother of Councilman Frank Ca
diz, about the attempted robbery and
the police were notified by telephone.
After half an hours hunt on the
part of Patrolmen Flynn and Schurr,
Desk Sergeant Gorham and Sergeant
Perl. Howell was found hiding behind
a tree at Washington avenue and
Joralemon street. When searched he
was found to have a quantity of table
silver wrapped up in towel.
The pieces bore the monograms:
"Lottie," IN. N. b." Marion" IN.
L." and IF" The police are trying to
find the owners of the loot. Howell
said that the five houses he entered
were in the Graylock section.
When Chief Flynn pressed him to
tell his right name, Howell said:
Il won't have my family disgraced
for anything. In fact, | ought never
to have been caught. 1t serves me
right for going after petty graft

MILITANTS BLAMED FOR
BOMBS THAT lNJURE SIX

LYNTON, England. Aug. 6-Six
hremen were badly injured by the
explosion of half dozen bombs in
an incendiary fire, which yesterday
destroyed the mansion on the estate
of the late Sir George Newnes.
The police are making an active
search for known members of the
larson squad" of the militant SUI
fragists. The authorities are CON
WINGED that militants placed thu
bombs and started the fire.
When the bombs exploded the walls
of the historic mansion toppled upon
the tiremen. The house was a total
loss. 1t was one of the finest in
North Devonshire and was valued at
$50. 900
The new outbreak of the militants
closely followed the publication Of
the financial status of the cause. 1t
had been asserted that the militants
had no funds and that the war chest
had dwindled to nothing.
In reply to this statement the mill
tants made a showing of $701, 900 of
contributions that had been received,
and made an exhibit of a remaining
war fund that rather took the wind
from the statement that the organiza-
tion was broke"
For several days the women had
not committed any outrages in the
empire They had confined them
selves to disturbing religious wor-
ship with a weird chant for the pro-
lection of Mrs. Pankhurst.

tary, and pieced together with detec-
tiye-like ingenuity by her stepdaugh-
ter, Miss Violet Van Schaick, will

the proceedings to be taken by the
Westchester county, N. Y, authori-
ties to obtain the right to exhume the
body OF the wealthy clubman, now
lying in plot in st. Stephens Gene
terry. Millburn.
coroner II. w. Livingston. who is
investigating the mysterious death of
the mlllionaire, turned over to Assist
ant District Attorney Frederick
Weeks, of White Plains, today, the.
information he has obtained.
These data include the statement of
Miss Violet Van Schaick the afida-
Wit of Francis ]. Tietsort, who first
hinted at a poison plot, and a list of
names of those whom the coroner
wishes to have examined.
VIII Try to Cut Red Tame.
Mr.. Weeks will try to cut the legal
red tape that surrounds the proposal
to exhume Van Schaick's body. The
TACT that the broker was buried in
Millburn, and not in New York State
has created a rather intricate legal
situation.
so tar Mrs. Van Schaick has made
no statement regarding the peculiar
death Of her husband, although John
j. Boyd, of South Orange, a brother
in-law, urged her to do so.
Before Van Schaick's death at Pel-
nam, ~ Y, on July 13 he had been
taking prescription containing
choral and bromide of soda given by
DR.. e. S. Newell. According to the
charge account carried by the Van
Schaicks at the pharmacy of r. M.
Donzel, in Pelham, it was filled there
on May ~, refilled on June 7 and
again on June 21. Prescription Clerk
Bates says that it was filled on other
occasions, too, whereas DR.. Newell
has stated that he never expected
the prescription would be filled more
than once.

DOCTORS CONVENTION
BARS SUFFRAGETTES
Everyone of Audience of 10000 Compelled Present Creden
tia Before Entering Hall Where Prince Arthur Represent
ing King, Opens international Medical Congress.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The interna-
tional medical congress was opened
by Prince Arthur of Connaught as the
representative of King George in the
Great Albert Hall this morning in the
presence of an audience of 10000.
Prince Arthur and Sir Edward
Grey, secretary of state for foreign
affairs, sat on the platform beside
the president of the congress. Sir
Thomas Barlow, president of the
Royal College of Physicians, physi-
clan extraordinary to King George
and honorary LID. of Harvard.
The credentials of every person in
the audience were vigorously scru-
to the hall. This precaution was
taken to keep out suffragettes, sew
eral of whom made attempts to enter.
Women Carry Bill-boards.
A large force of police guarded the
building while women carrying bill
boards bearing the words, What Do
the Doctors Think of Woman Tor
ture?" paraded outside.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mansell
who presided at a big meeting, said
that a prison doctor had told Miss
Richardson, now out on license:
"Youll be in this Jail for the next
fourteen days, and we are going to
make a mental wreck of you-ruin
your nervous system, and then send
Won to Brixton.' The speaker Sad
it was evidently the scheme OF the
home office to try to drive the mill
tants insane, ana thus break up the
movement.
Mrs. Pankhurst, who was wan and
pale, sat on the platform, attended
by nurse. She said: Yes, while
was in Holloway they sent an alien
ist to see me and to look me over.
Then the meeting decided to make
an appeal to the doctors convened in
congress.
Want Doctors to End Social Evil.
A party will probably also ask the
doctors to aid in suppressing the
social evil Mrs. Pankhurst says that
any campaign to this end must be
carried on in England by women, as
men are too apathetic on the matter
Christabel Pankhurst writes long
article in the current copy of The
Suffragette on the same subject.
No attempt was made to arrest
Mrs. Pankhurst yesterday, although
her license expired on Thursday last.
She was allowed to pass in at the
front door of the Pavilion Music Hall
unmolested, and afterward demanded
from where she sat In wheel chair
on the platform:
"Why have 1 not been taken by
the police? l hope / am right in
saying that it is because the govern
ment intends to abandon coercive
legislation against women. When |
saw no policemen | asked myself If

MULHALL IS GIVEN
BREATHING SPELL
lobbyist" Gets Until Monday
to Celebrate Birthday and
Fetch 200 More Letters.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Examina-
tion of Martin M. Mulhall, self
styled lobbyist of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, was post
poned today by the House lobby COM
Inittee until Monday, at the request
Of Mulhall who announced that in
the last few days he had discovered
in his files in Baltimore some 200 adj
ditional letters bearing on national
politics. and he believed that if given
a few days he would be able to dis
cover more.
He pronounced the letters found i'm
portant, stating that some contra
dicted testimony already given before
the committee by Representative
Fairchild.
Mulhall insisted he needed a rest.
Furthermore, | am celebrating my
sixty-first birthday today and have
been invited home" said he.
The committee excused him until
Monday, granted his request to have
counsel during his examination, but
withheld decision on his invitation to
the committee to send a representa-
tive to Baltimore to assist him in go
ing through his files.
Louis SelDOlu IHSuIltA lIlt Sidlih anu
was examined briefly as to the basis
for parts of Mulhall's stories prepared
for the New York World The COM
mitteo then found itself without wit
nesses, James A. Emery having been
called before the Senate committee.
A recess was taken to await the re-
appearance of Emery.
James A. Emery, Washington rep
resentative of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, testified to-
day before the Senate lobby COM
mite to tell the organizations side
of the story that Martin M. Null
hall began. Emery was examined
first by Robert McCarter, attorney
for the association.
McCarter Makes Announcement.
Attorney McCarter announced he
intended to show that the National
Association of Manufacturers had
only been opposing the work OF the
American Federation of Labor,
taking the opposite view" on most
subjects of legislation.
I'VE are going to investigate the
American Federation of Labor, too,
said Senator Walsh.
Senator Reed observed that his
idea of the duty of the committee
was to establish the truth or falsity
of the Mulhall letters.
Emery testified he had been ma
tional counsel for the manufac-
turers since 1907, and for the Ma
tional Council for Industrial Defense
since 1908. The council, he explained,
was the natural outgrowth of the de-
sire of employers of labor to form
some national organization that
might be able to do for them what
the united labor organizations do for
labor. Broadly speaking, he said, the
main idea was to fight for the open
shop" instead of the unionized shop,
for which labor contended.
Emery testified that in August,
1907 at the suggestion of James w.
Van Cleave, then president of the
Manufacturers Association, repre-
sentatives of fourteen employing as
sociations met in New York and laid
plans that resulted In the formation
of the Council for Industrial De-
fense. Mulhall swore there were no
meetings. that Van Cleave and other
officials just formed the council a
paper organization, and elected
themselves officers.

men from the Fore River works and
had on board a party of Argentine
naval officers. When the work at the

Aero Inventors
.Debts$8,OOO,OOO

PARIS. Aug. 6.-Debts amounting
to over $S,000O0O are included IN the
list of liabilities of Armand Deper-
dussin, the aeroplane inventor who
was arrested here yesterday for
forgery.
Against these liabilities his assets,
which are somewhat vague, are es-
timated at $4,OO000o. His bankers
hold his paper for $6,400.0O0 while
other creditors claim 81 100000.
The newspapers here recount
many stories of Deperdussin's per-
sonal extravaganza. He was the
foremost patron of aviation in
France and spent money with the
utmost lavishness.
He always felt confident that avia-
ton would develop rapidly, and his
expenditures were based on this ex-
pectation.

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 6.-United
States District Attorney j. Warren
Davis, Democratic floor leader in the
Senate last winter, is harboring the
belief that his former colleagues in

him yesterday when he was request
ed to leave the Senate chamber dur

The former senator was in the gallery
during the session. President John
son announced that the Senate would
go into executive session to confirm
several nominations sent In by Gov

Messengers were sent to locate Mr..
Davis after the executive session was
over, but he was no where to be
found. Attendants about the building

HELD FOR
PLOT AGAINST HUERTA

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 6.-L. Blum,
an American horseman, is being held
at police headquarters here on in
formation alleging that he is interest
ed in a plot to assassinate President
Huerta. The police say they re-
ceived a report to the effect that a
group of men were planning to sub
scribe 100000 to pay the assassin,
and they allege that Mr.. Blum was
no be a subscriber to the fund. Two
Mexicans also have been arrested on
the same charge.
Mr.. Blum denies the allegation. The
Information gathered by the police
thus far is inconclusive. and the re-
lease of Mr.. Blum appears probable.
