SUfFRACETTE SLASHES
 PORTRAIT OF CARLYLE
Wielder of Butchers Cleaver Arrested After Severe
 Struggle.

London, July 17.-A militant suf- fragette today slashed with a butch CTS cleaver the portrait of Thomas Carlyle, painted by Sir John Miilais and hanging in the National Portrait Gallery. The woman was arrested after severe struggle with the att tendants and at the police station gave her name as Anne Hunt.
 ,The attendants of the gallery who since the occurrence of the recent militant suffragette outrages in na- tional have been keeping close guard on the treasures under their / care, noticed a young woman walking from picture to picture apparently admiring the work of various artists Coming to the portrait of Carlyle she took a butchers cleaver from the the folds of her dress and vicfously attacked the painting.
 The woman had succeeded in striking the picture several blows be- fore the nearest attendant could reach her.. The glass covering the painting was smashed and slit was made in the picture from the top of Carlyles head right through the face to the chin.
 The attendants had the greatest difficulty in preventing Miss Hunt from doing further damage. She struggled desperately but eventually was secured and handed over to the police.
 She was bleeding profusely from cuts on her hands caused by the breaking of the glass.

COOK BURNS FOOD,
 IS THEN TROUNCED
J. S. Troupe, Restaurant Man, AL legged to Have Made Vicious
 Attack on Employe.

What is said to have been a brutal attack upon Edward Bidwell, one of his employees, is alleged to have been perpetrated by John s. Troupe, a Church street restaurant man, early Wednesday morning. So badly was Bidwell beaten, it is said, that he has not yet fully recovered from the attack and is still under a doctor s care.
 According to the story that is being circulated about the city, and not without some foundation, Bidwell was cooking some oat meal for breakfast and burned it. His employer discov- cred the fact and became angry. Af- ter wrestling with Bidwell, during which the latter's shirt was torn off, Troupe threw him out and as he did so grabbed up a mop or some other similar implement, and slammed Bid- we'll over the back of the neck with it.
 Bidwell, dazed and tottering, wan dered about the street until he came to the Hotel Bronson. Here it was seen that he was in a bad condition and when he fell to the floor Dr. D. w. O'ConneH was summoned. The physician applied tests for paralysis but found none. He was sent to his room. Today pr. O'ConneH states that his patient is much improved.

TWO LOCAL BOYS
 SAVE FIVE LIVES
Lowell Pickup and George Kiese. wetter. Rescue Party at Morris
 Cove.

Two local young men, Lowell Pickup of Lincoln street and George Kiesewetter of Vine street, who are camping at Morris Cove, New Ha- ven, proved themselves heroes We'd nesday afternoon when they saved the lives of five people who were cap sized in a canoe about 100 yards off the Lighthouse shore.
 The rescued party consisting of three women and two men, all of whom live in New Haven, were cruis- ing about in @ light canoe and when about 100 yards off shore their craf. suddenly overturned. Not one of the five could swim a stroke but as they were precipitated into the water they managed to grasp the edge of the canoe, which was floating upside down.
 The two local boys watching the accident from the beach, dashed for a rowboat and reached the founder ing people just as they were about ex- hausted and ready to give up. After considerable maneuvering the New Britainites succeeded in hauling the entire five into their boat and taking them to shore in safety

MRS. CARAVAN PLACED
 UNDER $20,0o0 BAIL
Freeport Physicians Wife Pleads Not Guilty to Man.
 slaughter Charge.

Mineola, N. Y., July 17.-Mrs. Florence Carman was arraigned in the supreme court here today before Justice Van Siclen on an indictment returned yesterday charging her with manslaughter in the first degree for having caused the death of Mrs. Louise Bailey, patient of the defen- dant's husband.
 She pleaded not guilty and was given two weeks in which to change her plea or demur to the indictment.
 Counsel for Mrs. Carman suggested that she be liberated under $20,0OO bail, and to this District Attorney Smith agreed. The prisoner was wan and pale when brought from the jail to the court room. Her husband, pr. Edwin Carman, stood beside her. When the preliminaries of giving bail were adjusted, he said, he would take her out of the village at once. It had been rumored during the fore- noon that a superseding indictment, stronger than the one embracing the manslaughter charge might yet be handed up by the grand jury on the strength of additional evidence fur nished by Celia Coleman, the negro maid in the Carman home. There had been no developments along this line this afternoon.
 The bail was furnished by Emm ett Randell and Smith Cox, close friends of the Carmans, whereupon Mrs. Car man was set free. Heavily yelled she stepped into limousine with her husband and started for her home at Freeport.
 Friends of Mrs. Carman here and in Freeport expected that an indict- ment charging her with manslaughter in the first degree would be returned. Under such an indictment Mrs. Car man, through her counsel, was ex- pected to ask for release on bail pending trial next fall.
 Dr. Carman today said he was pre- pared to furnish bail for his wife in any sum up to $500,O0O but it was hardly expected that more than $15,- 900 would be demanded by the dis trict attorney on a charge of man. slaughter.
 With the release of Mrs. Carman, 1t was said that Elwood T. Bardes and Frank J. Farrell, the tramp, too, may be released on bail. They have been held in jail here as material wit nesses.

SPECIAL OFFICER
 TRIMS AGGRESSOR
Dog Warden Coffey, Night Gate Tcn-I der at East Main Street Cross-
 ing, Defends Himself.


 Acting, it is claimed, in self de- fense, Special Officer and Dog Warden Coffey last night struck Charles Bren- necke over the head with an iron stove poker. Brennecke and some of his friends made a complaint at po- lice headquarters and wanted the spe- cial policeman arrested, claiming that he was assaulted without any provo- cation. s.
 That was their story. Officer Cof- fey's tale differs in several material ways. MT. Coffey is the night gate tender at the East Main street railroad crossing and he says that last night Brennecke and five or six of his friends came around the gate house looking for someone whom he was go- ing to lick" Coffey ordered them away and after they went a few steps he claims that Brennecke suggested going back and trimming MT. Coffey.
 Officer Coffey further states that Brennecke, suiting action to his words, advanced towards him and squared off. Then it was that the gate tender grabbed the poker and used it to advantage. In explaining his action it is said that he should have arrested the man, but as he was gate tender he could not leave his post without becoming criminally liable and as no assistance was near he had to take the law into his own hands.

DECISION RESERVED
 IN S|EM0N CASE
Accused and Companions Mercilessly Arraigned By
 Bridgeport Prosecutor.

Bridgeport, July 17.-Mrs. Kath- crime Sherwood Warehouse, wife of H. Livingston Warehouse of local trust company, was introduced as the eleventh hour mysterious witness for the defense" before Judge John R.. Booth, of New Haven, in the city court here today at the continued hearing of charges against Carl F. Siemon, of the Siemon Hard Rubber corporation, alleging responsibility in the death of John DeMartino, of Stamford, on the night of October 29, 1910. Her evidente, considered important in some details, did not prove the sensation that was expect ed.
 Attorney Henry E. Shannon and Judge E. S. Banks summed up for the defense, arguing that there was no evidence to indicate probable cause or that the Siemon car was responsible
 Attorney De Laney attracted more merciless in the arraignment of Sie- conduct on the night of the accident.
 
 the strain upon him, testified in a slow, distinct manner and told the story of the trip and what he knew of the accident He emphatically claimed that he is even more doubt full now than at any time during the period following the accident as to his automobile having been responsi- ble. MT. Siemon said that the oc- currence had preyed upon his mind constantly and although he was in doubt as to having been responsible, he could not get 1t off his mind but that he might have been. He argued with Prosecutor De Laney about the possibility of his car having struck the man and dragging him without his knowing 1t and he was emphatic in his belief that it could have been done.
 Judge Booth reserved his decision until July 28 and asked that steno- graphic notes of the testimony be fur- nished to him.
