CREDITORS THREATEN
 CRIMINAL ACTION IN
 BURR AND KNAPP CASE

Threats of criminal proceedings Burr & Knapp were made by Attor- ney Jacob B. Klein in the bankruptcy court this morning when more start ling disclosures were heard regarding the defunct banking firms methods of using funds of depositors. Attorney Klein. who represented the Hungar- ian Sick Benefit society, discovered that it was the custom to take money from depositors when there was no certainty that there would be enough cash on hand he next day to meet the deposftor's check.
 tPerhaps you ought to take that up in criminal court suggested Trus- tee John c. Chamberlain. We will before we get through with this.'' de- c1ared Attorney Klein. s3It was a. fine thing for a fake firm like this to be taking peoples money when they knew the condition the firm was in''
 It was brought out at today's hear ing that money deposited with Burr & Knapp which was to be forwarded to members of the Hungarian society abroad, never reached it's destination. People were continually complaining that the money they sent had not been delivered but they received nothing but explanations from Burr & Knapp.

YOUNG HUSBAND SWALLOWS DOSE
 OF BICHL ORlDE East End Teamster Hovers Between Life and Death At Hospital, QUARREL WITH WIFE BLAMED FOR HIS ACT Carefully Watch. Progress of Insidious
 Poison.

Arthur GaIpin, aged 26, of 56 Will mot avenue, a, teamster widely known in the East End. is in Bridgeport hos pital, lowering between life and death, the result of 8 self adninis- tered dose of bichloride of mercury taken, Tuesday. night. it is reported, with suicidal intent following a quar- rel with his wife.
 Galpin'S condition is watched with keen interest by physicians because of the insidious workings of the pois- on which has been known in many cases to work for weeks before it has proved fatal. His wife and four children have been to the hospital several times, and reconciliation now has been effected!
 Al tilt with his wife growing out of his having invited another man to vis- it him is blamed for his taking the poison. Galpin's wide acquaintance in the East End, where live, his parents and several brothers and sisters. has caused the outcome of his condition to be awaited with more than ordin- ary interest.
 ; Ga1pin's case much resembles that of the Augusta, Ga. banker who hav ing swallowed the poison by mistake fought for life for nearly two weeks, only to succu1nb. While Mrs Gal pin will say nothing regarding the cir cunSIAnceS when Ied 10 her nus bands attempt at suicide. it is claimed by nefghbors that Galpin had man friend whom he frequently brought, home with him. It is said that Mrs. Galpin's objections to the presence of. this friend in the house brought about a quarrel after which her husband took the poisonous drought.
 When Mrs. Galpin discovered what her husband had done she called Dr. c. B. B1ackman who prescribed an emetic and had GaIpin rllshed to the Bridgeport hospital. There he, has been since passiAg from one period of uneonscIousness to- another, and rnak- ing the same fight which the Georgia banker made more than year ago.

BARNES LAWYERS PREPARE f'POSERS"
 FOR THE COLONEL

Syracuse. N. r., April 24-Counsel for William Barnes, in his suit for alleged libel against Theodore Roose- welt, took advantage of the weekend recess of the supreme court today to compile a series of additional ques- tion to put to the former President when his cross-examination is re- sumed on Monday. Many of the ques- lions agreed upon have to do with events leading to the establishment by the Colonel of the progressive party.
 Y William 1f- Wins, chief counsel for MT. Barnes. said he expected to fin ish with Col Roosevelt some time Monday. The colonel will then give addi tional testimony on redirect ex- animation. This may keep him on the stand until Tuesday.
 The Roosevelt attorneys received information that all members of the legislature who voted against the Hughes direct primary bill and other measures cited by Col Roosevelt as instances where machine. Democrats and machine Republicans combined to defeat legislation he considered good were to be subpoenaed. By these witnesses, the plaintiff it is said hopes to prove their action was vol untary and that they were not fore ed into alliances by party leaders.

ARMIES BATTLING

London, April 24.-Over an arc-lilze front in Belgian Flanders. which is. roughly, ten miles long from the re- zion of Bixschoote in the north to St. Elof in the south, French. British and Belgian troops are today locked with the Germans in ia series of engage ments which recall the fighting of last October.
 Driven from Hill No. 6oa to the south of Ypres and failing to retake it by a counter attack. the Germans launched a sudden advance northeast S-Os the town and after simplifying and killing men in the first tEenches with deadly gases, according to British official re- ports they drove a wedge of infantry gians back toward and at some points apparently across the sYser (Ypres) canal, a n1aneuver which at the same time compelled the British line north of Ypress to fall back to. conform with the French.
 Although the advance of tie Ger mans was considerable, extending, ac- cording to Berlin despatcaes, over a front of five miles. French.

BREAKING CRANE
 BRUSHES HEAD OF
 GIANT STEVEDORE
Henry Robinson, Waterfront Workman, Is Killed Un-
 loading Lumber.

The breaking of a jury-rigged der rick or the three masted schooner A1- Der at the docks of the Frank Miller Lumber Co, to-day, caused the death of Henry Robertson, colored, aged 46. one of. the best known stevedofes in this section.
 Robertson, who leaves a wife in Westerly, R. I.,s has lived in this city for more than l 5 years, and years ago he established himself in the confi- dence of watermen and oyster grow eEs along the shores of Long Island sound. He had been the hero of many unrecorded accidents to captains and crew of the big feet of natural growth oystermen in this section and his sudden death to-day will come as distinct shock to the many friends he made in Bridgeport.
 As stevedore, he was employed this morning in shifting heavy ,tinbers from the hold of the A1tamaha to the shore. A crane-derrick had been rig ged up and the work was in progress when some of the flashing slipped. Robertson stood below the monster timber as it swung shoreward, when suddenly there was snap and a crash. The big negro's head was caught. between the deck and the tim Der. His fellow workers rushed to the spot where his body lay, and ex-
  seen that his head had been crushed and an emergency ambulance call brought Dr. J. H. Beaudry. Robert son was conveyed to St. .Vincent.s hos pitaI where he died shortly after ad- mittance to the operating room,
 The victim, who lived in Columbus place, came. to this city about 12 years ago in the sIoop Stella, which was one of several pleasure boats he had main tained at Shelter Island for the trans portation Of outing parties. He be- gan oystering among the Bridgeport fleet and was frowned upon. Later he was instrumental through pluck and nervy sailing in dispossessing many foreign-born oystermen who were in bad repute with the other fishermen and through his bravery in dragging an oysterboat captain of New Haven from the waters of the Sound, he was made a. part of the To- cal contingent. Through frugal meth ods he amassed sufficient money to en- ter the stevedoring business and has for many years controlled a large part of that trade in this city. His. wife has been notified and she will claim the body.

 Some discussion took place follow ing inquiries by stockholders as to whether the directors had under con sideration a plan for an. issue of pre- ferred stock. Positive denial that any such plan was before the directors was made by President Howard Elliott in the course of a short introductory ad- dress in which he had given an ana1y- sis of the earnings of the road in the past few weeks! The inquiries arose from the fact that when a resolution to accept the charter amendment passed by the Rhode Island assembly was read it was seen to contain ref erence to preferred stock

He had the con fidence of residents of the West End foreign colony and it was through him that the money was deposited in order that 1t might be sent abroad. When people complained the witness went to MT. Knapp. The latter said he didn't have the money but told him to come again he would take the matter up. There was $8,42S in the West End branch at the time of the failure, the witness said.
 He told about taking envelopes for Burr & Knapp to the Park National bank in New York and Attorney Klein wanted to know if the firm had anything now in the Park bank. The witness said he didn't know. Trustee Chamberlain volunteered the infor- mation that he hadn't heard of any.
