MAY INTERVENE IN
 NEW HAVEN CASE
Rumored Massachusetts Will Ask Court to Force Road to Sell It's
 Boston and Maine Stock

Washington, July 1S.-The New Haven railroad case assumed a new aspect today when 1t became known here that the state of Massachusetts may seek to intervene after the gov- ernment's Sherman law suit to dis solve that system is brought, and ask the courts to force the New Haven to make conditional sale of it's Boston and Maine stock. Massachu- setts now has the right to buy the stock at any time. In recent legisla- tion it preserved that right but gave permission to the New Haven to sell.
 The New Haven board of directors refused to accept that legislation, and now Massachusetts is understood to be fearful lest that right be endangered in the proposed litigation.
 It is feared that if the government wins it's case the court might mere ly order the sale of the New Haven's Boston and Maine stock without re- striction. If Massachusetts intervened 1t would be merely for the purpose of preserving it's right of purchase.
 Attorney General McReynolds, it was believed here, will not object. Plans for the governments antitrust suit reached the stage today where the brief in the New Haven case was practically ready for filing.

 Schmidt Murder.

While making a tour of the city today Detective. Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth noticed a large picture sus- pended over the entrance of the Bi- jou theater which at once attracted his attention because of it's loath- someness.
 Upon his advice Chief Rawlings visited the scene and one look was good enough fer him. He ordered the manager to take it down and gave him fifteen minutes in which to complete the operation. He war obeyed to the letter.
 This picture was one of the most revolting ones that I ever saw pub- licly displayed" says the chief. "It was a large colored picture repre- senting the murder and dissection of Anna Aumueller. the New York girl who was foully murdered by Hans Schmidt. The picture displayed de- picted the dead girl lying on a couch with the priest at her. side and a saw in his hand. He had just fin- ished cutting off one of her legs, and the picture was gory in the ex- treme."

PREDICT SETTLEMENT
 OF IRISH QUESTION
King George Halts Visit to Fleet to Await Outcome
 of Conference.

London, July 18.-King George, who has been making great efforts to bring about settlement of the Irish home rule crisis, decided this morn ing to postpone until later in the day his proposed visit to the great British feet now lying at Spithead. His reason for this step was that he might be on hand in London to re- ccive early reports of developments in the conferences going on between the various party leaders. It is understood than when the opportune moment ar rives his majesty will throw his in- fluence toward the side looking for an amicable settlement.
 The belief prevails generally that such a settlement is not far off and the Liverpool Post, one of the best informed newspapers on the govern ment side, goes so far as to say:
 There is really an arranged settle ment of the Irish question. Details have yet to be adjusted, but the broad facts can be regarded as fixed
 Other authorities do not go quite so
 
 statement: There is a near approach to a settlement"
 The government is believed to have offered the unionists in case they agree to abandon their demand for a clean cut" of the province of Ulster out of the operations of the Irish home rule bill, to arrange that the whole of Ulster with the exception of the County of Tyrone, which has a, great Catholic majority, should vote as a single entity on the question of ex- 1 c]usion from the home rule govern nent.
 The unionists demand that Tyrone i shall be included in this arrangement and this has been the cause of the deadlock.
 l Premier Asquith and Augustine Bir- rell, secretary of state for Ireland who are carrying on the negotiations on behalf of the cabinet, have re- mained in town for the week end The premier today had another audi. ence with the king, but the rest of the cabinet ministers scattered over the country for their weekly holiday.

Inspirer By Herald Article, He Investigates at Police
 Headquarters.

Mayor George A. Quigley paid a visit to police headquarters today as a result of the article in last evenings s Herald, which told of the immunity from arrest of Mrs. c. F. Bennett for violating a traffic rule Wednes- day.
 Rumors are rife regarding what Mayor Quigley said at headquarters, but he held a conversation with Chairman J. R. Andrews of the board of public safety. He also talked with Supernumerary Officer Charles Grace, who reported Mrs. Bennett's violation of the traffic law. Besides this Mayor Quigley talked with traf- garding their duty.
 1T don't wish to make any com ment at this time regarding my visit to police headquarters, Mayor Quig- ley said later in the day II sim ply talked with the chairman of the safety board and with policemen"
 Asked if the matter would be pushed any further Mayor Quigley replied: "I would not be surprisd if it was" He declined to state just what he meant.
 The article in the Herald last even- ing was universally endorsed. The public unanimously agreed that no favoritism should be shown in up- holding the law. In this Mayor Quigley agrees as he says, that no inn munity from arrest will be accorded those who break laws during his ad ministration if he knows about it. Although he did not say so, it is said that Mayor Quigley agrees that the Herald's article was just and fair. It is also said that he intends to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Doctors Wife Denounces Enp'oyts
 Of DiSt(iCl Attorney.
STATEMENT ISSUED BY ACCUSED
Woman Held for Manslaughter Says That It Is Not True That She Is ''Insanely Jealous, as the News papers Led People to Believe

Freeport, N. Y., July 1s.-Lewis J. Smith, the district attorney who prosecuted the case against Mrs. Florence Carman for the death of Mrs. Louise Bailey, shot in pr. Car mans office, left the county seat for a rest today after announcing that he had not abandoned all hope that the grand jury would in the near fu- ture return a first degree murder in- dictment against Mrs. Carman. Yes terday Mrs. Carman pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging man. slaughter in the first degree and is now at liberty under $2O,oo0 bail.
 Mrs. Carman remained secluded in her home today. preparatory to talk ing long automobile trip to recuper- ate. ,.&..
 With her husband, Dr. Ed win Carman, and daughter Eliza beth, Mrs. Carman planned to start today or tomorrow on an auto mobile tour to Philadelphia, Atlantic City and the Delaware Water Gap. The Carmans expected to be gone about 8 month, spending a part of the time on their farm near the Del- aware Water Gap. -#
 No Doubt of Acquittal
 In a statement Mrs Carman told for the first time her story-the story she sought to tell the Nassau u county grand jury, but which that body refused to hear. This she de- clared was unfair. The statement besides detailing her movements on the night of the murder of Mrs. Bailey in her husbands office con- tains denunciation of the detectives employed by the district attorney, and a declaration that she has no doubt of acquittal -"unless they frame me up"
 Not Insanely Jealous.
 Mrs. Carman in the statement said that it was not true that she was "insanely jealous, as the newspapers led people to beffeve.' She explained she was merely curious, saying that the fact of the matter is that I had been on numerous occasions with my husband at various affairs, and had many a good time with him. But on such occasions people would rout him about his many girls and hint that the doctor was a regular devil I simply made up my mind to find out what was the truth in these remarks. not because I was insanely jealous but because I wanted to find out. I was curious"
 In conclusion Mrs Carman de- clared her determination to remain in Freeport after her trial.
