LOBBY PROBERS IN LIVELY ROW
 WITH MULHALL

Washington, July S1.-Martin M. MuIha1l's cross examination by attor- neys, for the N. A. of M., before the senate lobby committee today, opened up with a. lively row between Senator Reed and Robert McCarter attorney for the manufacturers. MT. McCarter insisted on asking questions himself.
 Senator Reed insisted that all aQues- tions should go through the commit tee. Chairman OverInan ruled with Senator Reed. McCarter precipitated the outreak by asking Mulhan if he was not discharged from the Cleveland police force ten yeaxs ago for viola ton of a state law. MulhalI replied he was dismissed for political reasons and demanded counsel.
 q was advised by friends to refuse to answer he exclaimed
 tI want counsel; I insist on 1t, and refuse togo on until I have it. I'll go to jail before I'll answer questions about my personal affairs thirty or forty years ago.
 Instead of being designed to throw light on this case, many of those in structfons are designed to throw mud at the witness ydec1ared Senator Reed. This is an investigation, not a trial. insist you have no right to say a word here" he Ncoflcfuded, addressing McCar- ter.
 Mulhal1 withdrew his demand for counsel and the hearing proceeded with the attorneys submitting their Ques- tionS to Chairman Overman.

 Corporation Counsel

Stamford, July 31-The local city court fight reached. the office of City Treasurer William M. Travis. today, when Samuel Young, who has been judge for several years, and to whose place John J.

F. Hickey; prosecutor, Galen 4. Carters probation officer. Robert A. Ross.
 The name of Frederick w. Hu1c- ford as assistant prosecuting attorney is not named in the warrant, as Judge Young interprets the law that his ap- pointment as prosecutor in the conn mon pleas courts and the fact, that he has not attempted to perform any duties in the city court, would make that place. vacant Judge Walsh also filed warrant for salaries for him. self and his appointees-
 / Treasurer Travis says he will take advice of the corporation counsel be- fore acting in the case.

That's Conclusion Of New York Detective Working On Jobs
 At NaTTagdnsett Pier

Narragansett Pier, July 31-These are unhappy days for the chance visitor to the Pier who does not bear on his person refutation of the suspicion that he is one of the supposed gang Of thieves who robbed the homes y<of Cha1 les Carey Runsey and John H. Hanan.
 All but those who are we'll known here are viewed with suspicion
 The usual number of mid week guests has been nearly doubled by the presence of detectives and as these men represent at least three or four competing agencies the greater mum Der are not known to each other. In one instance it is said that two oper- atives representing rival agencies spent a whole day shadowtng each other.
 The gaiety at the Casino and other places where the members of the cot tage colony met today was subdued by the knowledge that detectives were about. Patrons spoke in whispers over their tea cups and every etrang- CT, whether man or woman, was inn mediate1y placed under suspicion of being either a detective or Jewel thief.
 Both MT. Rumsey and Mrs. .Hanan today declared ridiculous the theory that servants were involved and laugh ,ingly secuted the speculation that a house guest had sought to climb high CT in society by the aid of the missing ropes of pearls.
 Regarding the latter Mrs. Hanan said:
 That is positively absurd The guests who were in my house at Shore Acres, week end, went with me to the Casino and returned with me. None of them entered my room after I left it. Besides, they are all old friends people have known for years and I trust my servants absolutely
 Mrs. Hanan was told by the detec- tives at Shore Acres that they had clue but they refused to tell even their employer the identity of the person suspected or of what their clue con- sisted. The acting head of one of the prominent detective agencies was due at Shore Acres today to take per sonal charge of the case in the ab- sence of the proprietor of the agency, who is in Europe.
 The detectives on the Rumsey case continued their search in Providence. New York and Boston for the auto mobile which was seen standing on side road near the Rumsey place with the lights out last Sunday night. They but they would not say whether they had the number.
 This Is one of the slickest jobs I have ever been on,'' said the New York detective in charge of the Rum sey case.
 '~The fellows who pulled off this, stunt were gentlemen hieves. I would be wiling to wager that the man or possibly the woman who went into Runsey's house and stole those jewels was in evening clothes

 The new saloon would be particu- 7arly annoying to the teachers who would pass. it on their way to and from school The witness thought there were enough saloons in the 1.eFghborhood and he said it was the policy of the board to keep saloons away from schools whenever possible.
 The case came before Judge Curtis as a result of Gabriel Papp's appeal from the county commissioners who had previously allowed Mrs. Czako a. frausfer from 6S3 Hancock avenue to t6z5 Bosfwiek avenue Mrs Czako hestided that the proposed location was a dwelling house but the owner Gaad agreed to remodel it for store. She has been ordered out of her pres ent place and as she cannot transfer pending the appeal, she is puzzled re- Eardtng her rights.

AGED MAN : KILLS WIFE,;
 WOUNDS SELF
Crime Occurred After An Early Morning
 Quarrel In Home
Farmer Rogers Having Dis posed of Wife Attempts Suicide-Take to Hospi- tai; May Die.

Montvil1e, Conn.,, July 31-A1bert Rogers. aged s2, shot and killed his wife, aged s5. this morning and with the same weapon. 32 calibre re- volver, tried Intellectually to end his own life The old man was taken to Backus hospital in Norwich. His wounds are in the face, two bullets spIintering his jaw and 1acerating the flesh
 The shooting occurred, so far as was learned by Dr. Morton B. Fox, the medical examiner, during a dispute. The couple who live near the center of tho town rose about five O clock as was their custom. About an hour later, while they were in the sink room connected with the house there was a dispute The shooting follow ed. sfDr. Fox was called and he did what he could to save the woman but the wounds were ghastzy ones and death came about 8 o'clock. From his ctrsory examination of the body it was apparent that three bullets had entered the woman's head One crushed q hole in the top of her head through wsfch the brains protruded; another vszat through one cheek and passed out through the other and the third entered the back of the head.
 Rogers probably, upon seeing his wife dying. placed the weapon against his own face. One bullet shattered the jaw and another tore away the flesh of the lower part of the face. His age and the shock accompanying the wound make recovery seem inn rrobabIe-
 While it is thought insanity was a trfbsTtory cause to the shooting it had not been known that Rogers was in a mental condition which would have led him to use the weapon. The presumption is that he became angry and did the shooting under mornen- .-tzry impulse. It had been noticed that for several mornings Rogers had been irritable and inclined>fto become angry if crossed. This was attributed to weather and his age
 Dr. Fox, while attending Mrs. Rog- CTS. tried to get a statement from her as she appeared to retain conscious ness for a short time. All he learned was that the husband during the time there was an exchange of words said: ssWi1I you do it again ?' The woman s reply to this could not be made out. After officially viewing the body of Mrs Rogers it was placed in care of an undertaken.

NEW OWNERS BUILT
 CONNECTICUT LINES

r New Haven, July 31-The firm of Sanderson & Porter named in connec- ton with the sale of certain trolley lines in western Massa chusetts is known in this state as constructors of street railways, having built lines both in New Haven and Hartford counties especially in and about New Britain.
 In the absence of MT. Mellen, who was in New York, no additional in formation was obtainabIe here bearing upon the sale of the Massachusetts trolleys as announced. It was said, however, that the term used western troIIeys.'' might not include the Berk- shire trolley system which is owned by the New Haven company, indepen- dent of equity rights in the proper ties that have been sold.
 It was stated also that the Massa- chusetts legislature recently passed an act authorizing the New Haven road to merge the Berkshire trolleys that it owned with the other trolley prop critics in western Massachusetts, but it was also provided that the company should make certain expenditures herewith An inquiry was begun to determine whether the company would be warranted in making these expen- ditures through acceptance of the act This inquiry, it is believed, has not been concluded.
 Sanderson & Porter were the build CTS, among other roads, of the Meri- den Southington and Compounce line in 1898 by the Meriden, Southington and Cornpounce Tramway company This road was later sold to the Con necticut Railway and Lighting Com pany which is now part of the New Haven company's trolley system in this state, known as the Connecticut company.
 The announcement of this sale turns attention to the trolley situation in
