More Speed,
 Fewer Cars,
 After Sunday
Trolleymen Discuss Contem- plated Changes in Sched- uIe and May Form ulate New Agree
 ment.

As the time limit of the agreement between the Connecticut company and the trolIeynen draws near, the com pany announces that it will reduce the number Of cars on the North Main street, North Bridgeport, Barnum avenue and Beards1ey Park divisions, commencing Sunday next. when one car will be taken from each Line.
 It is asserted by the company that the running time of each of the re- maining ears will be cut down so as to hurry them over the lines with greater speed and yet perform the same service.
 Motormen who are today expected to bring their cars into diSpatching points promptly on time and are now nequently compelled to make fast time through the city to comply, are wondering how they will reconcile the new schedule with the book of rules which prohibits running faster than eight miles an hour within a mile of City Hall.
 The agreement between the com pany and the trolleymen which has been in force for some years, expires in June of this year. It is expected that the men will demand less hours of duty than assigned under the pres ent system, which at their last pick of runs'' gave every day man a "trip per- Or extra car. to be run after ths regular day service. As the men con tend that some employees are now working on runs from 10 1-2 to IA hours, it is expected that concessions will be asked from the company in June.

LODGE HELPS WILSON'S PLEA
 FOR REPEAL Mighty Heartening of Senators Effected by His Tolls
 Speech. SCORES SPEAKER CLARK'S
 DEFIANCE OF WORLD Freedom of Canal to American Shipping Not Expedient,
 His Claim.

The Washington correspondent of the Springfield, (Mass.) Repu blican, writing under date of April g, gives Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of lIassa- chusetts credit for having greatly in- uenced the feeling in the upper House or Congress by his speech in favor of the repeal of the free tolls clause for coastwfse American shipping in the Panama canal act The article says:
 There was mighty heartening today among the advocates Of free tolls re- peal because of speech by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. In a very unusual effort, he held a great audi ence at attention to the very last, and made a logical argument which is bound to have material influence upon the contest in. the Senate.
 There are yet many wavering senat- tors on this question, in which regard Mir. Lodge had an opportunity such as rarely comes to speak with conviction. He did not fail to improve it. Indeed, before the day was over several sena,- tors came to say his discussion had helped them
 His conclusion that there was notI1- ing in the treaty prohibiting exemp- tions for our own vessels, but that as 9 matter of expediency, because of divergent interpretations and foreign opinion, the free-tolls clause should be
 
 abandoned, appealed to the Senate.
 MT. Lodge plainly struck at the tone of Speaker Clarks remarks in the House when he ridfculed the perfect safe amusement of hurling defiance at the rest of the world.
 But Washington is still throbbing with activity over the tolls issue. Inti- nations came from the White House offices again today that the president is contemplating statement, but 1t was said certain newspapers which have been rampant in denunciation of the administration might be called to account for printing advertising mat ter as news, which is an offense under federal law.
 It is not believed, however, that the administration will coilntenance a. cru sasde against these newspapers. al- though congressman are wincing un- der misrepresentation. Representative Vol1mer of Iowa spoke to personal privilege today to deny that he had refused to be a candidate for re-elec- tion because of his tolls vote.
 The Senate had other tolls speeches this afternoon, including one by Mr. Thomas of Colorado, but concluded the day with brief executive session without any combinations.

POLICE WAIT FOR REPORT OF DR. COGSMELL Delay in Transmission of News to Authorities Retards
 investigation. MANY WOUNDS ON
 FACE AND TORSO Cottager Visiting Home in Re- mote Section of Long
 Beach Makes Find.

The mutilated, partly cloth ed body of a handsome woman, thrOwn-up by the waves on Long Beach, Stratford, was dis covered at 10 80 this morning by John Spillane, a machinist of this city who was visiting his cottage on the shore.
 The remote location of the scene of the discovery, and de- lay in the transmission of the information, to the proper of- ficiaIs, prevented Medical Ex- aniner CogsWeII of Stratford, from reaching the. corpse until late this afternoon.
 Up to press hour the motor boat that took the medical eX- aminer, and newspapermen 10 the scene, had mot returned, and the local police and Strat- ford authorities, were await ing with anxiety the report oI the medical examiner
 The only information avail able of the condition of the body was furnished by Mr. Spi1Iane, who returned from the remote section Of the col tage dotted peninsula, across Lewis gut to the MiamoRlIs yacht club just before noon. He believed the woman had been murdered.
 Spillane was returning from an ex- animation of his cottage, when. iu front of the cottage of David Miller near the Lordship Park end of Long Apt.- eT-. He made "a careful, examination, and then hastened to the city to get word to the authorities.
 He says that the body appeared Co him to be that of a. woman between 35 and 40 years of age, with dark hair and dark eyes. 1t wac nude from Una waist up, and the arms were badly cut and discolored. There was a. cut on the forehead and a shocking dis- fgurement on the upper lip. laying bare the teeth in the upper jaw.
 Spillane was not prepared to say whether the lip was torn before death. or that its condition was due to the action of the elements. The eyelaah- es, he noticed, were gone, due, he be- ] lieves to the action of the water. He noted that one of the canine teeth. of the upper jaw, was capped with a. circular band of gold. He made a. cursory examination of the body. and saw that, there were several cuts and bruises, but he did not note their posi- ton, leaving that task for the authori- ties.
 The lower part of the body was clad in a black oversIoirt, white under skirt, and black stockings and black shoes.
 Spi!lane hurried to the diamoRue Yacht club at the foot of Seaview avenue and there he teiephoned Go darbormaster Carrie Paddock The latter teIepl1oned to Police Lieut.. Hazel at police headquarters Hazel learn l ed that the location of the discover- was in Stratford, and teIephoned 70 Medical Examiner CoEsweH. who waB not at his office Mrs. Cogsweu got into communication with the med ics-l examiner in the afternoon, and ft was after 9 o'clock when that officiaR wa1 able to obtain q motor boat at ths foot of Seaview avenue. to hurry fo the scene of the discovery

 Mr. McInerney had been to flaw 1eyville, it appears from the evidence of several who had spoken to him or seen him there on the day of his dis appearance eight days ago.
 Though Medical Examiner w. H. Kiernan had not made an official find ing, up to late hour, it was generally believed that McInerney's death was due to exposure.
 The deceased was once a well known rubber worker. He was about 55 years of age, and of late years was very deaf. His affIiction had impair ed his usefulness at his trade.
 McInerney was one of the best known residents of the town, with many relatives and host of acquafnt- ances. Mrs. M. c. Bradley of this town and Mrs. John Kane of Zoar, and Mrs Dennis Quinlivan Of Bridge port are sisters of the deceased.

Two Prisoners Slip Chains;
 Elude Sheriff
Both Recaptured After Thrill ing Chase Through Streets
 of Putnam.

Putnam, Conn. April 1o-George Petenaude and James Nicollettf made a sensational but unsuccessful attempt to escape here today while on the way from the jail at Brook1ine to the state reformatory at Cheshire.
 The prisoners, who are between 21 and 26 years old, were brought hand cuffed together by automobile from the jail to the railroad station by Deputy1 Sheriff John O. Fox and De- putty Sheriff George F. Holbrook. On the way to the depot Petenaude pick ed the lock on the handcuffs, freeing himself and his fellow prisoner. They kept the handcuffs on their wrists, however. until they were about to step onto the express at the station when they threw them off and dashed away, each in a different direction.
 The officers raised an alarm and started after their fleeing prisoners, followed by a crowd which grew as the chase continued. Petenaude ran down the main street and into a tea store. where he hid himself in the basement among the boxes and bar reIs. There he was found by his pur- suers. Nicolletti was captured in q suburb of the town. a quarter of a mile away. Both surrendered peace ably. They were at liberty about half an hour
 Petenaude laughed as he declared, after being taken back to the railroad station, how he had freed himself and his Fnsananion.
 Those f1andcuffs were easy, g he said Their first thought he said was to jump from the automobile but this they considered would be too danger ous and they decided to wait until they reached the station.
 They were sentenced at the last term of the superior court, Petenaude for burglary at Plainf1eld and NicoI- Ietti from Thompson for connection with an alleged "black hand" game.

UBYRNE WOBBLED
 ON TOLLS ISSUE
District in Which He Was De- feated Heavily Republi-
 can For Years.
tBy Our. Staff correspondent.o

Washington, April 10-A close an- alysis of the special election in New Jersey in which O'Byrne, Democrat, was beaten by Drukker, Republican. by 5.380 leads one to believe that the returns were not given to the public as carefully as they might have been or else there was strong effort made to make political capital out of the result. For many years the district where the election was held, which embraces the city of Paterson that has suffered more industrial troubles than most any community in the country was Republican district with a nonni- nal Republican plurality of 5000 votes.
 When President Wilson was elected Cover nor of New Jersey in 1910 he lost the district by 5000 votes- When Fielder ran for governor recently on the Democratic ticket he lost the dis who boiled 4,7O0 votes in the district a. year ago, received less than a thou and in this election.
 The real surprise of the election was the Socialist gain. On the same day that Siede1, former Socialist mayor of Milwaukee went down to defeat be- fore the fused Republican and Demo cratic tickets of Milwaukee, the So- ciaIists po1led over 5000 votes in Pat erson where they had boiled but 1 1000 year before.
 The real story of the New Jersey election was that a Republican dis trict had gone Republican and that Socialism had gained over 4,0O0 votes.
 It was true that Bob" Bremner, deceased had been elected to his seat in the district on the Democratic tic- ket, but he owed his success to a re- markable personal popularity and the Democratic wave that swept the country.
 As for O'Byrne he was not a strong candidate. He had been out of the district for ten years and was not known as we'll as he might have been. He went home from Washington to vote and then returned to his employ ment at the capital
 O'Byrne made his campaign on tho ground that he favored free canal tolls and on the last day of the cam paign he changed his position and announced that he would favor g. re- peal of the tolls bill. While he had the endorsement of the President st the start his eleventh hour change on the question put him in opposition to the President. This did not bring much support to his banner and he gained for himself the label of ''Wob- bIer,' and it was a, foregone conc1u- sion when the polls opened on cleo ton day that he was doomed to de- feat.
