BURNS SHIELDS SUFFRAGETTES.
Averts Harsh Treatment When
Speech to Doctors Is Interrupted.

Burns was addressing the International
Medical Congress yesterday several SUI
fragettes who interrupted him. tnclud-
ing a French woman, were thrown out

ing the words: Women are being done
TO death under the cat and mouse act"
Mr. Burns prevented any harsh treat
ment OF the women by appealing to
the audience.
I'VE will get over this difficulty" he
said. Thanks to good mother and
q sensible doctor, my voice is good
enough to overcome them"

valuation per head, the 340s10b cattle August, 1913, being valued at $15 per head, compared with $19 per head for the 9,357 cattle imported in the cor responding months of 1904. The character of the cattle imported d1f- fers, of course, radically from that or those exported, being mostly, on the export side, grain-fed animals ready for slaughtering, and on the import side, grass-fed cattle in many cases but 1 or years of age. Practically all of the cattle imported, other than those S6or breeding purposes, are brought from Mexico, that country having supplied, in the fiscal year 1913, 391, AIT of the 42O.2 head inn ported for other than breeding pur- poses. Of the 1888 imported for breeding purposes, free of duty, 945 were from England.
 Imports of beef show remarkable gains within the very recent period.

SUICIDED TO
 AVOID ARREST
New Light Thrown on Death of William Hood Who Took Poi SOn-White Slavery Charge AgainSt Him.

New Haven, Oct. 17-That William Hood. who committed suicide in Bridgeport Wednesday night did 1t to forestau his arrest by the New Haven police by whom he was sought for a long time, and not because of his re- lection by a woman, came to light last night when Detective Dunlap return ed from Bridgeport where he had been looking up Hood, for the pur- pose of arresting him upon white slavery charges It is the opinion of the detective bureau that Hood knew the police of this city were on his tracks, and took poison to escape cap ture.
 Hood, whose ostensibIe occupation was a waiter, had been living, the police claim, upon the proceeds of the earnings of women with whom he had been associated from time to time. He lived here with a girl named Dot Wilmot, who was arrested here for street walking, and driven out of town.
 For time Hood lived with Lena Bronson on Court street as man and wife, and according to the police had no apparent means of livelihood.
 It was while the Bronson girl lived thus that she met a girl named Bross, an empIoye of the Clock shop, who lived in the same house. The latter feeling pity for the Bronson girl helped her out with clothes and money. This was repaid by the Bron- son woman leaving town with every thing she could lay her hands on be- longing to her friend
 After the Wilmot woman was re- leased from jail in Hartford, where she was serving a 60-day term on the same charge as she was arrested for in this city, she took up with Hood again, and went to live with him at the Royal hotel in Bridgeport. There she passed as his wife and sent letters to this city saying that she had mar ried Hood, which disposes of the suicide theory on account of the girl leaving him. Detective Dunlap learn ed Of his whereabout in Bridgeport and was about to. apprehend him when he learned of his suicide. The police would prove that he was har- boring women in this city and living upon their earnings
