HAY WOOD FREED: TRIAL WILL BE
 SHOWN IN FILM Paterson Jail Packed As, Strikers Are
 Rounded Up Entire Police Force on Duty Bearing Outbreak of Lead
 CTS SympathIzerS

Paterson, N. J., April 5.-WfIIfam ID. Haywood, organizer of the Indus trial Workers of the World, was to- day discharged from custody after a hearing on charges of disOrderIy con- duct and causing illegal assembIa&e in connection with the silk mill workers strike.
 Paterson, N. J., April 5-Hundreds Of Paterson's striking silk mill work CTS licked, today, to the courtroom where William D. Haywood, the Indus- trial Worker of the World organizer, was making a fight against the sent ence of six months in jail imposed on him a. week ago for disorderly con duct. Thousands gathered outside
 Nearly 200 of Haywood's followers were left behind him in a jail that has seldom before in the city's history been so crowded. These were strik- CTS arrested, last night and today for picketing. The streets outside the courtroom were dense with humanity. Around the building and within the chamber where the hearing was held was placed the city's entire police force.
 Through an open window of the courtroom moving picture machine manned by strike sympathizers poked its nose recording for the screen ev- cry detail of the court proceedings. The Industrial Workers of the World have sold the moving picture rights of the trial. They planned to have the final scene a wild demonstration of the throng outside the building to greet Haywood when the hearing should end. The strikers believed, to a man, that the sentence given Hay wood would be reversed.
 Today's proceedings were a hear ing on the writ of habeas corpus. There is yet another charge against of causing unlawful mblage-upon which the grand jury has not acted. Haywood has been unable or unwilling to give the $5,000 bond demanded for his release on this charge.
 The 90 strikers arrested, last night, for picketing were joined, this morn ing, by more than 60 picked up at the various silk mills. Notwithstanding the numerous arrests, the strikers continued their policy of picketing. As fast as one of their number was ar rested another took his place.
 Haywood's hearing was expected to last several hours.

DRUGGISTS CASE
 CALLS OUT NICE
 EXCISE LAW POINT

Hartford. April 5.-A decision by Judge Clark in police court, this
 morning may have far reaching eff feet so far as violations of the liquor law are concerned. In substance it is that a druggist may sell liquor on election day without violating the state statute. On Tuesday, April l, which was Hartfordis city election day, Joseph Goldenberg was arrested by three state policemen. In police court the next day they testified that each had purchased a drink of whis- key at Goldenberg's drugstore. Gold enberg's attorney asked for an acquit- tai for his client on the ground that there is nothing in the statute which prohibits a druggist holding a liquor license from selling liquor on cleo ton day. Judge Clark rendered de- cision, today.
 After reviewing the statutes re1at- ing to the sale of liquor, the judge said that an examination had dis closed there is no law prohibiting the sale of liquors II election day but only law prohibiting the keeping open on that day of any place where liquor is sold to be drunk on the premises and the drugstore is not such a place. The fudge said the intention of the statute was doubtless to prohibit such sale but it does not.

BANDIT SLAYER ESCAPES AND
 THEN SUICIDES
Anarchist LaC0mbe, Most Desperate Grim
 inaI in All Europe
Walking Arsenal When Arrested for Killing Postmaster, Whose
 Murder He Confessed

Paris, April 5.-The Anarchist bandit Lacombe, known as one of the most desperate criminals in Europe, committed suicide, today, in the pris- on De- La Sante where he was await ing trial the charge of assassinat- ing M. Ducret, editor of the Anarchist newspaper "LIdee Libre."
 Lacombe had been arrested in Paris on March II, after the police for several months. When taken into custody he was carrying in his pocket a small dynamite bomb, two dynamite cartridges, two automatic pistols and supply of ammunition. The mob tried to lynch him while he was on the way to the police station.
 During his incarceration Lacombe confessed to the murder of Ducret and admitted killing postmaster at Bezone and a railroad emp1oye at Les Aubretis, near Orleans.
 Lacombe, in some unexplained manner, escaped from his prison cell after breakfast, today. When the wardens discovered his absence there was tremendous commotion. The i'm terior of the prison was searched and an alarm, given outside. The whole neighborhood of the Jail was patro1Ied for some hours by the guards.
 Later Lacombe was found on the roof of the prison lying behind a chimney. When he saw his pursuers he stepped to the edge where he was by armed wardens. As he was about to be seized, he turned, sa1uted the wardens, smiled ironically and jumped head first like a diver i'm to the stone courtyard several stories beloW where he was dashed to death.

NO CONNECTICUT
 BUILDING COMING
 TO PANAMA SHOW

Hartford, April 5-It is not likely that Connecticut will have a State building at the Pan-American Exposi- tion at San Francisco in 1915. It is understood that the Governor does not favor the expenditure which would be necessary for such a building. For this reason the committee on appro- priations will not report a bill carry ing any considerable amount for use by the State commission recently chosen to look after the States rep resentation. The attitude of the Gov ernor is known to members Of the committee on interpretations is that a State building would cost about S100,- 900 if it were to be of sufficient size to be noticeable, and if erected its use would be limited to g. few months The Governor, on the other hand is known to favor the use of any State appropriation in assisting the manu- facturers of Connecticut in their ex- hibits as through a display of pro ducts of the skill and inventive fac ulties of the men of Conn necticut's factories there are possibilities of sub stantfa1 returns. The Governor is known to be opposed to lavish outlay of State funds by the State in spe- cial trains or cars or in entertain ment to the committee. He desires that the money appropriated be put to practical use.

 FIRE TENDS
 CAUGHT IN ACT

London, April 1.-Two suffragettes fire fiends'' wee captured redhanded while setting light to the new grand stand on the Kelso race course in Scotland. Rags saturated with petro- 1eum were found beneath the stand and were ignited when the watchmen on duty sprang out of their hiding place and captured two women.
 The grandstand, on the Ayr race course, also in Scotland, was ruined by fire, this morning, causing a loss of $15, ,O0O. This also was attributed to the militant suffragettes.
 The bomb and arson campaign threatened by the wild women has caused intense alarm in the provinces, especially at historic places like Chatsworth and Blenheim, where special patrols of police and game keepers have been placed on duty day and night.
 Several suffragette placards and a bundle of suffrage literature were found in the vicinity of the Ayr race course, leaving no doubt in the minds of the authorities as to who was re- sponsible for the fire.

NO WINE AT
 SOCIAL EVENT
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, April 5Society wom- en of Washington, to the number of $50. today, welcomed the wives of President Wilson, Vice-President Marshall and the members of the Wilson cabinet at a, formal breakfast The elimination of wine from the menu was the result of 8 campaign which caused feeling to run high. Members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, who occupied one of the tables at the affair, were ac- tive in the campaign.
 While $50 women were satisfied be- cause they were invited to the break fact, at least that many were not invited and, today, are in rather disturbed frame of mind. As ori- ginally planned, the breakfast was to have been exclusively for Democratic Women. The plan was changed, how ever, and as a result scores of wom- en whose husbands are in the coun- ctls of President Wilson's party were left off the list as the accommoda- tions were limited
 Another innovation was the total absence of speeches. Not even an ad- dress to Mrs. Wilson graced the pro- gram. Instead, an illustrated lecture on White House furniture by Mrs Annie Gum Baker followed the breakfast.
 Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the Speaker of the House, who was in vfted to the breakfast, did not attend because of a previous engagement.

BRIDGEPORT
 CITY COURT
 CONTEST ON Call COughIin Faction Par-
 " Outlaws M'DOnOugh Finds It Too Much Of a Love Feast to Meet
 with His Approval

Hartford, April 5-The hearing on the Bridgeport judgeship before the committee on Judiciary in the old Su- preme court room at the Capitol, yes terday afternoon, developed an un- usual situation in that it required prodding by Senator John F. McDon- ough, who presided, to get what he termed verbal pyrotechnics'' in order that the true situation might be re- vealed for the committees information as all of the testimony was of a com mandatory nature up to the point where he observed that there ought to be something definite for the com nittee to work in filling the offices.
 Up to the time that Representative McMurray brought into question the legal election of Judge Coughlin as judge of probate and commented on the fact that he was defeated by over 1,700 when he came up for reelection, the hearing was @ verftable love-feast, but after that point there was a lit tie spice in it.
 The IaUdation of all the candidates moved Representative Evarts of the committee to remark that the tossing of coin, with heads on both sides, might settle it.
 When the hearing opened J. w. Banks said he appeared in behalf of Judge Carl Foster, who is away on g. trip at present, and asked that the committee defer any action in the Bridgeport judgeSh1p until he return ed. The committee granted this re- quest, putting the matter over to next Friday for re-assignment, but decid- ed to hear those who were present in the interest of other candidat tes. The resolution appointing Frank L. Wilder deputy judge was first taken up for consideration.
 F. A. Bartlett appeared in favor of the appointment of Frank l.. Wilder s-s deputy judge. He said MT. Wilder has served two terms and proved him self fair and efficient official.
 Former Judge William H. Con1ey, Jr., said the manner in which MT. Wilder has conducted the affairs of the court coming before him for ad- judication has been very satisfactory.
 No one else appearing in favor or in opposition, the hearing was declar- ed closed.
 Senate, joint resolution No. 4s. ap- pointing William w Bent judge of the city court of Bridgeport was next taken up. Senator Whitcomb spoke briefly. saying that MT. Bent stood on his record as a lawyer, a member of the General Assembly and jus tice of the peace in Bridgeport. The Senator then called on Representa- tive Lynn w. Wilson who said MT. Bent was well qualified to fill the of flee, and he believed the committee would be acting wisely in recommend ing his appointment.
 MT Avery of the committee inquired if the Bridgeport delegation in the

Records furnished to the bureau of vital statistics and made public in the town clerks office this morning. show that never in the history of Bridge port has such mortality resulted. The average shown during March of this year reaches the total of 1S0-
 The pr redominating cause is given by the records and at the department of health as pneumonia, resulting from extreme climatic changes. This dis ease alone claimed 40 persons, while a kindred affection, bronchitis, carried of three more.
 An analysis of the report filed shows the following deaths:
 Measles 2 scarlet fever 2, diphtheria 4 dtarrhoel diseases 8, consumption F, pneumonia 40. bronchitis 3, nervous 1, heart 4, accidental Il, while from more natural causes 93 passed away. There were 39 infant deaths and 1T be- tween the ages of one and five years StiII-born children totaIed z. In pub lie institutions tabulation shows 3S deaths while five of the total were non-residents.
 Health Officer B A. Mcclellan when asked to ascribe a cause for such an increase In the rate, said:
 ''In my opinion it has been greatly due to changes in the weather. March was an exceedingly bad month, and while colds were prevalent in many instances the proper care was not taken and they developed into pneu- rnou,ia As you will see there were 70 deaths from this cause alone, and March is always the month when we 1raRy look for such affections.

BALKAN STATES
 REJECT POWERS
 PEACE TERMS
Give Out Reasons Why Turks Should Not Have
 Possessions

Sofia, April 5.-The Bulgarian gov ernment, today, handed to the dip1o- matic representatives of the powers it's reply to the note sent to it on March 22 concerning the suggested basis of peace between Turkey and the Balkan allies.
 The reply which is that of all the allied Balkan nations, accepts the con ditions of mediation proposed by the European powers, subjected, how ever, to reservations which practically repudiate the proposed terms.
 The propositions of the powers were as follows:
 The frontier of the Ottoman em- pire in Europe shall start at Enos and following the course of the Maritza river, and then that of the Weigene shall end at Midia. All territories situated at the west of this line shall be ceded by Turkey to the allied states, with the exception of Albania, the disposition of which shall be fix ed by the powers.
 2@The question of the Aegean Is- lands shall be settled by the powers.
 31Turkey shall abandon all claims to Crete.
 4-The powers cannot favorably en- certain the demand for indemnity but they will admit the allies to partici- pate in the discussion of the interna- tOnal commission in Paris for an equitab settlement for their partici- patton in the Ottoman district and the financial charges of the districts to be handed over to them. Turkey Is to be asked to take part in the labors of this commission.
 5-The great powers declare at the same time that as soon as these bases are accepted hosti11ties shall cease.
 The reply of the Balkan allies is contained in the following counter propositions:
 Tn the definite determination of the frontier of the province of Thrace, the line indicated in the conditions formulated by the powers shall be nitfye line.
 shall be ceded by Turkey to the Bal kan allies.
 3-The allies consider they should know beforehand the frontiers propos- ed for the future state of Albania, trusting they will be in conformity with those they proposed in London.
 1.-The Balkan allies demand for war indemnity must be accepted in principle, the task of fixing the amount being left to a commission which is to study financial questions and on which the Balkan allies will be represented.
 5-The Balkan allies agree that the operations of war shall cease as soon as the above conditions have been favorab1y received and admitted by the European powers.
