AIR AND NAVAL
 FLEETS ATTACK
 ITALIAN TOWNS


 Milan, May Destruction of the railroad Junction evidently was the object of the lombard of Ancona by an Austrian squadron which raided the Italian coast on Monday, accord ing to additional details which have been received here. The warships appeared off Ancona about midnight, accompanied by two aeroplanes which flew over the city.
 The bombardment began at 3 o'clock and continued two hours. The guns were trained not only upon the railroad yards but upon the military hospital, the bank of Italy and two barracks. The cupola, of the Cathe- dra1 Apses was damaged.
 Slight damage to the railroad was caused by shell fire between Porto Ricanati and Porto Civianova.
 The Austrian airships retired from Ancona when an Italian fleet appear ed. Because of reports that on Aus trian squadron had been signalIed from an, Ancona brewery, all Germans employed there were dismissed.

PURSUED BY ILL
 FORTUNE, TRIES
 SUICIDE IN HOME
H. A. King, Former Militia man and Merchant,
 Shoots Himself.
BULLET ENTERS BODY
 JUST BELOW HEART
Laid Off At His Work, He Brooded Over Continued
 Misfortunes.

Despondent because of loss of en- p1oyment and because he was in strengthened financial circumstances, Harry A. King formerly a lieutenant in the 11th company, Coast Artillery corps and widely known in fraterna1 circles attempted suicide last night by shooting himself with a revolver. King is now at the Bridgeport hospi- tai and his physician pr. Eli B. Ives believes he has an excellent chance for recovery. King had been em- pIoyed at the Singer Mfg. Go. factory until this week when he. was laid off. His aunt, Mrs. Joseph Carney of F'airview avenue died suddenly on Tuesday Mrs. King in order to add to the family income had been work ing in New Haven. In a letter which he left. for his wife, King said he could stand misfortune no longer and he had determined to take his life
 Shortly before 5 o'clock last even ing King went to his home at 756 State street and wrote a letter to his wife. He explained he was despon- dent over their situation and had de- cided to kill himself. His mother in-1aw Mrs. B. M. woods was pre- pairing supper in the kitchen. King called her to him and instructed her to give the letter to his wife and to no one else. Mrs. Woodis took the | IGLJGF ana returned 5n0T5 WOTkA DuI had hardly left the room when she heard the revolver shot King had fired one cartridge from a 32- ca1ibre revolver into his abdomen just be- low the heart
 Mrs. Woodis summoned Dr. Ives who lives close by and the ambulance corps was called, pr. Beaudry re- spending with it. The wounded man was taken to the Bridgeport hospital
 where pr. Philip W.~Bi1I assisted by Dr. Ives applied dressings. Because of the nature of the wound it was not
 thought best to probe for the bullet 1 last night. Mrs. King on her return from New Haven last night was met at the railroad station by her father
 D. M. Woodis and father and daugh- l ter went to the wounded mans bed side at the hospital Mrs. King is prostrated today. I4
 King is about 36 years of age.
 About 10 years ago he married Miss
 Eva W'oodis. The married life of the 1 couple appears to have been very happy. King for a time was manag- CT of the Direct Importing Go. with a distributing headquarters in the Citi-
 zen's building at Main and Cannon l streets. Later he esta b1ished the l King Tea Go. in Main street opposite 1 John street. He disposed of this bus mess and then obtained employment in the Singer Mfg. Co.,, factory until he i was laid off last week.

Women Jurors Must Be Under the Same
 Obligations As Men

(From Mrs. w B. Wil1iams-Anti- Suhrag1st.)
 Women were given the ballot in California in October. 1911, and this is what the San, Francisco Chronicle for April IT, says:
 The Senate has passed the Butler Bill making women eligible to service on juries An Amendment providing that they may be relieved from duty at their own request was defeated by a vote of 30 to T.
 t-ShouId the bill finally become a law in a form which places upon wo- men the same obligation to serve on juries that is endured by men, there is likely to be a disturbance.
 And, if their names are on the lists, they will go into the box with the Others and any woman at any time may be haled into court, and compelled to forsaxe either her chill dren and cooking, or her society function as. the case may be- to dance attendance for weeks as a. trial juror.
 For it would be unjust for a. cause which would not be an excuse for man.
 Suffrage was forced upon women by a small minority of their sex who induced a majority of the men to vote their way.
 s'The number of women who regis ter is limited, and the number who vote is smaller still. which proves that women as 8 sex do not wish to be bothered with voting. But jury service is not like vot- ling. An efector may register, and vote or not as he or she pleases. But summons to serve on a jury has to be obeyed.
 Should this bill become a, law, and be enforced, as it should be, if it is a law. it is not impossible that they sex
 may rebel and register and vote for the express purpose of getting rid of both jury duty and voting duty''

Flynn, stockholders of the Bartram & Flynn Go, Lakevi1le, deal CTS in general merchandise, for the appointment of a temporary receiver of the company, with a view to wind ing up it's affairs. At a. recent meet ing of the stockholders, it was voted to ask for a receiver and discontinue the business. The capital stock is $14,OOO.
