Sir Wilfrid's Popularity.

from Canadian public life. For nearly
half a century he has been constantly

has stood almost alone In his hold upon
the Imagination OF the Canadian peo-
pie.
In 1871 he was a member of the Que
bee legislature. Three years later he
entered federal politics. and as early as
1877 he was one OF the most influential
members Of the Mackenzie cabinet. In
1857 he was chosen to lead the liberal
party and mas done so unbrokenly and

issue Of reciprocity with the United

TURNS ON GAS AS. HUSBAND LEAVES FOR MOTOR TRIP
Mrs. Camps Suicide Shocks Residents Tn Fashionable
 Apartment House

Shipment of the body of Jeanne s. Camp, wife of Henry P. Camp. who died on Saturday last to New Bri- tain yesterday disclosed one of the most sensational suicides that has oc- cured in this city in months.
 So startling were the details of the tragedy that the residents n the ex- elusive apartment house '"Ehe. Jud- son. 50 Milne street. were even to- day appalled, to such an extent that many of them were unable to even talk about it.
 Mr. Camp and his wife have lived in the apartment for some time He is employed as an engineer in the ammunition plant of the Remington U. M. c. Company and highly regard ed. She was born in New Britain, the daughter of John Sloan, a well age is given as 40 years.
 According to Medical Examiner S. M. Garlick, who was called to the house about 10 o'clock last Saturday night Mrs. Camp has been Respondent for some time, and recently took an whom MT. Camp often went auto mobiling.
 On Saturday he had returned to dinner as usual and, announced that he was going to Stamford that after noon. She objected; and he finally consented to return that n1SnC.
 As MT. Camp was leaving the house his wife called to him saying Some time you may go away on one of these trips and when you come back shall not be here.' He thought nothing of the occurrence more than that she might have become more Respondent than usual.
 On his return home that night, he found his wife lying partially dress ed upon a bed. A gas tube was held closely to the mouth showing that she had committed suicide.
 Medical Examiner Garlick who viewed the body gave it his opinion that she had been dead about hours and had probably committed the deed shortly after her husband had left the house.
 A note found by MT. Camp and addressed to him merely said: "You will know why I have done this.''

 Superintendent S1awson addressed the teachers of the city yesterday at meeting in the assembly hall of the high school. He outlined his plans for the year and gave a general talk on his policies for education
 He related an incident of his ca~ reer in Stamford. A high school boy, he said, had committed an offense against the discipline of the school and it was thought that ordinary methods of punishment would not suffice to curb the boys tendencies Mir. Slawson says he took him to a across his knees The resulting ope- ration, he said, had a saiutary effect

KNAPP ARRESTED ON FRAUD WRH;;.
 FURNISHES BAIL
Is Alleged to Have Misappropriated $4,OOO of Hungarian SicS Benefit Society's Funds.

Herbert M. Knapp, who was presi- dent of the banking firm of Burr & Knapp when it went into the hands of a receiver last September, causing losses of thousands to many local de- positors. was arrested this afternoon on a body writ in an action brought by the Hungarian Sick Benefit Socie- ty. After being in the custody of Deputy Sheriff Stiegler for a. short time Knapp was released in bonds of $5, 1000, furnished by his relatives. At torneys DeForest & Klein brought the action. It is alleged that Knapp nnisappropriated $4,OoO deposited by the Hungarian society with the bank
 Proceedings of this nature against Knapp were predicted last April when Attorney J. B. Klein at 8 hearing in the Bankruptcy court denounced Knapp in ringing terms for his firm s method of using depositors' funds.
 The $4,oOO was deposited by the Hungarian society with the under- standing that Burr & Knapp were to forward the money Co members of the society abroad. The funds never reached their destination and numer- ous complaints were received here. The society officials went to Burr 6 Knapp but received nothing except ex- planaC1OnS Wn1ch Q1Qn eApldl1l'
 At the bankruptcy hearing an em- ploye of the banking firm admitted that the money, received from the Hungarian society was deposited with Burr 6 Knapp's funds in a local bank. The reason the money was not Sent abroad, was because the firm didn't have the funds in New York upon which to draw a draft. Tt is understood that for several months counsel for the society have been endeaxoring to induce Knapp to make some kind of a settlement but as he showed no disposition to return any of the missing funds it was deter mined to1serve the body writ.

 Attitude and Settle ment Is Near

More than 800 workers at the Salts Textile Go. organized under the Unit ed Textile Workers of America, met in Sadler's hall on Willard street to perfect their organization and to hear speeches and reports from John Col den, president of the United Textile workers. =
 A committee will be appointed from among the workers at the Salts Mills to confer with the company officials tomorrow in an effort~to adjust the differences
 The company issued a statement to- day in which it compared the scale of wages paid at the local mills to those paid in a similar shop at Lyons, France, and stated that the wages paid here are high as in any si1nt lar factory in the United States,
 It will not be possible for any ad justment of the situation to be made at higher rates of pay the officials say this would mitigate against the future welfare of workers. but it is inttmated that better shop conditions will be granted in the future.
 Although settlement is not ex- pect by the textile workers here along the lines set down by the company today, it is believed that the attitude of the company is now such that an early adjustment can be had.
