GEN. GALLIENI, DEFENDER
 PARIS, ,SURRENDERS TO DEt

Paris, May 27, S:25 a. m.-General Joseph S. Gallieni, former minister of war, died at Versailles today
 The death of Gen. Gallieni, while not unexpected, created a profound impression as he was idolized by the French people, particularly the poor, who regarded him as the saviour of Paris during the critical days of Au- gust 1914. His funeral will be the occasion of notable military and civic demonstrations s
 Shortly before his death an opera tion for transfusion of blood was per formed. but it had little effect. The generals son and daughter were at his bedside when death came.
 Moves Army in TaMcabs.
 After the notable part taken by Gen. eral Gallieni in the battle or the Marne. when he rushed 80,000 troops of the Paris garrison to the battle line in taxicabs at the crisis of the strug- gle and thereby turned the tide of victory in favor of the French, he was appointed minister of war in the re- constructed cabinet.
 AS war minister, General Gallieni devoted himself with remarka ble energy to the elimination of red tape

PEACE IN SIGHT, SAYS GERARD;
 WILSON PROBABLE MED|A1
WAS AHEARN'S DEATH DUE TO AUTO INJURIES? Reported to Have Been Civ en Severe Beating By
 COrbin Men.

Sensational stories are afloat regard ing brutal beating administered the late Richard Ahearn who was buried this morning and who died from in- juries sustained in Manchester last Wednesday evening, when an automo- bile in which he was riding collided with another machine. Ahearn re- ceived fracture of the skull, accord ing to physicians in St. Francis hos pital, Hartford. Fellow associates at the P. & F. Corbin Division of the American Hardware Corporation are dwelling considerably on the beating reported to have been administered last Tuesday evening some going so far as to insist that the injuries sus- tained in the fight hastened his un- timely end.
 According to the reports the cause of the fight emanated from an effort on the part of some of the Workmen to secure a raise in wages, a paper being circulated among them for sig natures to be handed to the officials. The original copy was written in ink, and later some of the interested par ties solicited Ahearn's aid in getting | it typewritten This the latter agreed l to do.
 In some manner which cannot be | ascertained, the officials learned of the movements to secure the increase, fice notified them that their services were no longer required. The dis i charged employees quickly informed their associates and suspicion, it is 1 said, turned to Ahearn as being the party responsible for the advance in formation secured by the officials. 1t is said that Ahearn was informed of the suspicious of the workers, but he stoutly denied the accusations. The talk within Ahearn's hearing became more heated Tuesday, but he failed to pay much attention to his tor menters In the evening it is re- | ported that Ahearn was around the streets in his usual jovial manner, 1 but Wednesday morning he failed to put in an appearance at the factory. A close friend who investigated found him with his face and head badly bat tered and his eyes discolored. To the friend is said that Ahearn imparted the information that he had been set upon the previous night and ceverely beaten. He complained at the time of severe pains in the head. Discour- aged with the sad plight that he pre- sented, in his battered condition Ahearn it is said started out to drown his sorrow" which lead him to the trip that eventually ended in his death
 The report of the hospital physi- clans that a fractured skull caused the death, has set several people to conjecturing regarding the fracas in this city, and wondering whether 1t is not possible that part of the fatal injuries wer incurred at the hands of sympathizers of the workmen who were summarily dismissed at Corbin's factory.

AMERICANS NAMED
Judge Coha1an and Dennis SpeIlissv Of New York Mentioned at Probe of Dublin Uprising.

Dublin, via London, May 27, $50 a. m.-The names of Judge Daniel Cohalan of the New York state su- preme court, and Dennis Spellissy, New York lawyer, were mentioned by Major Price in his testimony before the Irish commission Investigating the Sim Fein revolt, in connection with money sent from America to the Sim Feiners.
 Major Price said that S1OO,0OO mostly American gold, had reached the Irish revolutionists during the first six months after the war broke out. The Sim F'eins then withdrew all their funds from the banks and stopped making further deposits so that it was impossible to trace later sums received by them. The wit nesses added, however, that he was certain that large sums had been re- mitted subsequently, from the United States.

FRENCH TROOPS SMASH WAY BACK INTO CUMIERES AND
 ARE ELECTED ONCE AGAIN
DR. SENIOR SENTENCED
 TO 30 DAYS IN JAIL
Physician Charged With Violating Anti-Narcotic
 Act Pleads Guilty.

New Haven, May 27.-Dr. Percival D. Senior, of Waterbury, who yes- terday was before the United States court charged with violation of the Harrison anti-narcotic act, has changed his plea of not guilty and gone to the Hartford County jail for thirty days.
 Court has been sitting on a will case and yesterday afternoon this was suspended while a number of persons who had been indicted by the grand jury sitting at Hartford, and others named in information, were brought to plea. Several cases involving all leged violations of the Harrison law were called. Dr, Senior had a long complaint against him read and he entered plea of not guilty and asked Judge Thomas to set an early date for trial as he had been in the New Haven County jail for forty nine Gays, having found it impossible to get $500 bail. pr. Senior said he in- tended to conduct his own case. Judge Thomas informed him that he could do so if he wished.
 Later in the afternoon Judge Thomas assigned a number of cases for trial at Hartford, wherein the pleas had been not guilty, beginning with Dr. Seniors case The will case was resumed. Before court ad- journed, however, Dr. Senior notified the court that he desired to change his plea and sentence of thirty days was imposed, the doctor asking the court not to send him back to the New Haven jail.

Meskill in police court this morn ing on a charge of reckless driving. MT. Babcock appealed from the de- cision and bonds of $2OO were fur nished by c. W. Lines.
 Yesterday noon Mr. Babcock, driv- ing Hiding Nc a's automobile. which he had been repairing. started down Chestnut street hill towards East street. The brakes on the car refused to work and the steering gear likewise stuck, causing the operator to lose control. The heavy car crashed around the corner into East street and struck three little boys sitting on the curb stone. One sustained broken leg and the other two were badly bruised. F. l.. Smith ana John Wright testified that the car came down the hill at an exces- l slVe speed, the driver having appar- ] ently lost control. They said no horn was sounded. aptain S. M Leonard | also told Of seeing the accident. 1 MT Babcock told a straightforward l story making no attempt to shield | hlmself He said the brakes did no hold and he attempted to shift gears and hold the car back by the com pression of the motor, but it had at- tained to great a speed. At the COT. ner it was impossible to work the steering gear and he crashed into the curbing. He said his hands were +o, full manipulating the mechanism tt ! blow the horn.

Severe Reverse For Austrians.

Rome, via London, May 27, 7:27 B. m.-A severe reverse for the Aus trians in the Lagarina valley is an nounced in an official statement is- sued by the war department today. The statement follows:
 'In the Lagarina valley the enemy continued yesterday it's impetuous at- Jacks on our lines between the Adige river and the Arsa valley and met with another sanguinary defeat. Af- ter the usual violent artillery prepar- ations masses of infantry in close for nation began an attack upon us at Conf Zugna and Col de Buole. They we're exterminated by the cool and precise fire of our troops.
 Between the Arsa valley and Po- yfna the situation is unchanged. Be- tween Posina and the Astico river, after an intense concentrated bom- bardment by the enemy, our troops, having repulsed one attack, evacuat-

CALLS SUICIDE ABSURD.
Naval Commander Had Health,
 Wealth and Happy Family.

Tulsa, Okla, May 27.-C. R: Rich ards, brother of Lieutenant Clarence A. Richards, U. $. N., who was Killed yesterday by an electric shock at Sag Harbor, l.. l., declared last night that a report that the officer committed suicide was "absurd.' Speaking for himself and other members Of the family, MT. Richards said:
 My brother had health, wealth and position, was happily married and only recently was given a shore as- signment which he coveted to be near his wife and child. The report Of suicide is utterly absurd.''

go in his stead as delegate-at-large MT. Landers has accepted the invita- tion and thus New Britain will have a representative at two national con- ventions, Senator George w. Klett be- ing a district delegate to the repub- lican gathering at Chicago on. June 7. Democrats United.
 The appointment of MT. Landers, d Hartford county man, to act as substi- tue at the convention for a New Ha- ven county man, demonstrated the friendship of the big men in the democratic party in their neighboring counties and disproves beyond all ar gument any innuendo to the effect that the democratic party is not soli- darity personified. It is a testim onial of the strong cement of friendship that binds these two political frag- ments of Connecticut together Mir Landers did not seek the appoint ment but was selected by MT. F'itz- gerald because of his standing in state and national democratic affairs In fact, the local man was rather sur prised at being chosen on account Of the geographical barrier that would naturally be expected to have great est weight
 Recognition For New Britain.
 The importance of New Britain as 1 political factor is being recognized more and more every day by hose l Who stand at the throttles of the state machines. In congressional affairs it IS recognized as holding the Hhalance or power, crowning or s.detMfoning g congressman at it's will and #sfancy. But 1t is doubtful if New Britain ever received greater recognition politically l than this year when it will send two men to national conventions
 MT. Landers Strong Wilson Man.
 The selection of MT. Landers is a particular happy choice. MT. I.anCers is an ardent supporter of President | Wilson,. being personally acquainted With the chief executive and being en- thus1astlc over his policies.
