ASQUITHS WIFE
ASKS PROTECTION
FROM NE WSPAPER
Says London Publication Has
Accused Her of Dis
loyal Conduct.

London. Dec. 17.-Afrs. Herbert H.
Asquith, wife Of the premier. appeared
as. a plaintiff in the Chancery Court
today, demanding an order to restrain
the Globe from the publication of al
legged hbeIs. Mrs. Asquith's attorney
said:
For whole fortnight before the is
sue of this writ, Mrs. Asquith has been
deliberately pursued in the defend
ants newspaper with accusations Of
disloya1ty and of association with Ger
man prisoners at bennington hail. She
has been described as a traitor and a
disgrace to her sex, and attacked in
most opprobrious terms. These at
tacIzs were systematically and malev-
olently maintained and were only sus-
pended after the writ had been is
sued.''
The attorney opposed the Globes re-
quest for a postpenement, urging the
court not to deprive the plaintiff Of
this opportunity to clear herself pub
1icly. The persecution, he said, has
been going on for nearly year. 1t
began last spring with another paper
which has since been compelled to
make public apology.
The defendant having undertaken
to refrain from publishing anything
affecting the case the court allowed
the matter to stand over until Tues
day. The PLAINTIFFS attorney said Mrs
AsQuith had made a denial under oath
of the statements concerning her.

REAPPOINT TERRY
TO AVERT SPLIT.
IN C. 0. P. RANKS.
Town Committee Split Be
tween Jaynes and McEl-
roy for His Place

Because the town committee could
not agree on a successor to Alfred H
Terry. civil engineer. when the quar-
rel for the place. was entrusted to
them by Mayor Wilson's administra-
tfon, the. mayor chose the alternative
today Of reappointing the present in
cumbent.
Announcement Of the reappointment
of Mr.. Terry was made by Mayor VIII
son at the city hall this noon. The
term is for two years, beginning Jan.
i, at an annual salary Of $4,000.
Following Terry's opposition to the
unlimited use of Warrenite on the city
streets, drive against him was be-
gun by the Republican machine. Be-
cause there was the prospect of bit
ter fight over the choice of his sue
cessor, the mayor today ayerted this
trouble by keeping Terry in office.
Frank B. Jaynes, formerly assistant
city engineer, was advocated at one
time for the position with the support
of a large part of the Republican town
COMMITTEES. At meeting last Friday
was advanced. There was much op-
position ITO Mr.. McEIroy because it
was claimed he hadsnot been living In
Bridgeport regularly for a number. of
years 1t was claimed, also, that he
had not been g. voter or worker in
feSP1plce11h poi1ttSSs ~ hoAo -
It is reported that although Mr.
Jaynes had the most supporters those
who favored Mr.. McEIroy would not
give in, hence Mayor Wilson decided
to settle the matter by feappointing
City Engineer Terry. When asked
about the rurnored dissens1on over the
Office the mayor would say nothing to-
day. The dispute over the reappoint-
ment of the. city engineer following
the contest for leadership In the Sixth
district, is regarded in some circles as
the beginning of series of contests
which may bring about a split in the
Republican, ranks similaf to that
which caused the Young Mems, move
ment in the party about ten years ago.

Friends of Dead Engineer
Say He Was Not Victim
of Chronic Heart Trouble
Funeral Arrangements
Delayed.
Son Refutes Story That He
Was Subject to Heart At
tacks Body is Held at
the Morgue Pending In
quiry.

The question as to what really
caused the death of James Mfnty, en-
gineer on the New Haven road, who
died suddenly yesterday morning while.
en- route to this city. greatly perp1exes
Medical Examiner s. NJ. Garlick, who
has ordered an inquiry made as it has
been asserted by experienced railroad
men that death was caused by an cleo
trio shock.
AT the time he suffered the shock Of
some nature. Ainty was operating a
steam locomotive and his hand was
on the throttle.
Officials of the New Haven road in
s4st that Minty died from an attack of
heart failure and that he could not
have received a shock while operating
a steam locomotive None of the over
head wires in the vicinity of west
port have fallen and it cannot be said
that the shock was received in that
manner.
According to Medical examiner Gar
lick, death was caused by an attack
of heart failure but some railroad men
have a theory that, in some manner,
the electric current from the overhead
high tension wires carried current
of electricity to the cab of the engine
operated by Minty. One railroad man
ventures the theory that the current
from the overhead wires followed a
line of spray to the locomotive and
that Minty, with his left hand on the
throttle. received the shock in its full
est intensity. Experienced electricians
say this would be possible but officials
Of the railroad place no stock in the
theory and It is their belief that Mfnty
died from an attack Of heart failure.
Medical Examiner Garlick this
morning said that he did not yet see
amy necessity in performing an ay-
topsy on the body Of Minty but that
he would conduct an inquiry and ex-
anime all witnesses as well as expert
.enced electricians connected with the
rairoad.
Provided Minty met death from be-.
ing shocked by. an electric current.
his relatives are entitled to half the
salary of the deceased engineer for .
period of 11s weeks, according to the
compensation laws of the state. Should
it be proved that Minty died a natural
death, victim heart failure. the New.
Haven road will not be held RESPONSE
BILE.
william Minty, son of the deceased
engineer and employed at the-Craw-
ford Laundry in this city, is declared.
to have said that his father was never
known to stlffef from heart trouble
It is said that the members of the
Brotherhood of American Locomotive
Engineers are also investigating the
cause Of Minty's death and that a
special meeting of the board of di-.
rectors will be called today.
The body Of the engineer is still
confined to the morgue of Henry A.
Bishop on Fairf1eld avenue. pending
the inquiry and funeral arrangements

concluded.
