out Of the saloon where the argument
started and was in the street when
Cristino's brother, Felix, attacked
him with knife. One bystander said
he saw this man brandish the knife
at Napolitano and miss him. Then
Lorenzo Cristino and his brother ad-
vanced toward Napolitano, who con-
tainued to back away. When the men
were close to him he fired the shot.

At to-days hearing Lena Petru
chelli of 81 Hallett street and Angus

CUT HEART FROM
BOSOM OF WIFE
Husband of Woman Book
Agent is Divorced for His
Cruelty to Her.

Elsie M. Flaherty, a large lady
with Titan locks who said she earned
her living as book agent, was grant
ed divorces from Joseph w Irlaherty
this morning after she told her story
to Judge Bennett in the superior
court. Intolerable cruelty was the
ground.
The plaintiff said Flaherty wouldn't
work and that he abused and struck
her. Once he threatened to cut her
heart out and shoot her, she alleged
When she remonstratd with Flaherty
about his reluctance to work it was
his custom to strike her, the plaintiff
said. One witness, who had BEEN a
boarder in a Broad street house
where the Flahertys lived, said he
helped drag Flaherty away one night
after the husband attacked Mrs.
Flaherty. The couple were married
in Logansport, Ind, in 1907.
The court also granted a decree to
Hulda Benin of this city, who accused
Orrin Benin Of cruelty. Benin was
arrested in this city for passing bad
checks. Since then the plaintiff said
she hadn't heard where Behm had
gone. The young wife said Benin
found fault with her for trivial
cause and often struck her. He often
choked her because she refused to give
him money she earned. The Behms
were married August 4. 1914. Mrs.
Behm's maiden name was Hulda An
derson.

Church Refuses to
Compromise on Carr
License Remonstrance

Failure on the part of Tom Carr
to reach an agreement with officials
Of Trinity Episcopal church indicates
that the remonstrance brought against
the Cannon street cabaret proprietor
will be fought to a finish by the
church, which adjoIns Carr's place.
The county commissioners today as
signed Jan. 26 as a date for a hear
ing.
1t was last November that the re-
monstrance was filed. Since that time
it is reported that Carr or hts repre-
sentativas have conferred =. with the
church officials and offered to make
concessions which would remove the
features to which the church object
ed Offers Of compromise have ap-
parently been declined
The remonstrance Is filed on the
ground that the location is unsuitable
because it is too near the church. Tes-
timony will be offered to show that
noises from the cabaret have reached
those who attended church.

JOINT BOARD TO
SOLVE DISPUTES
w. G. Lee, Brotherhood
Chief, Offers Substitute
For Adamson Bill.
FOUR GREAT UNIONS
WILL BACK PROJECT
Expect No Deadlocks, De-
spite Equal Representa-
tion of Men and Lines.

Washington, Jan. 19.-W. G. Lee,
heads Of the trainmen's brotherhood,
to-day presented substitute plan for
President Wilson's railroad legislation
to the commerce commission Of the
house.
board of eight, equally divided be-
tween railroad workers and operat-
ing officials, appointed by the Presi-
dent, would solve all the present diff
ficulties over working conditions, he
said; would command unqualified
support of the hour brotherhoo
and, despite the fact that it would be
evenly divided, he predicted that there
would be no deadlocks.
Mr.. Lee appeared primarily to op-
pose the Adamson bill to compel 80
days notice of a strike, or lockout.
Under such a plan as he proposed,
Mr.. Lee said, both sides would get
Justice and there would be no neces-
sity for the Adamson bill now before
the committee or any other legislation
relating to hours or wages.
In an effort to clear the legislative
calendar Of administration measures
before the next house with question
able political status comes into power,
President Wilson conferred at the
capitol today with the senate steering
committee.
For two hours he went over the
program he outlined in his opening
address to congress last December,
laying particular stress on the rail-
road labor measures. He said that he
Still desired enactment Of the whole
program before March if possible.
In. addition to- revenue legislation,
the President also urged action on a
corrupt practice bill, the Webb bill to
permit domestic corporations to main
tain collective selling agencies, water
power and mineral land leasing meas
ures, and the Porto Rican citizenship
bill.
Although there was no suggestion
OF an extra session in case the Press

that. the thought In the minds Of all
Was that it would be much less diff
cult to enact the measures to which
the Democratic party has been COM,
mitted at this session than in the next
congress.

LANDLORD LOSES
SUIT over RENT
AT HOME TRIAL
Tenant Who Kept Key a
Few Days After Leaving
Not Liable for Month.

A partial check was placed upon
the tendency of landlords to boost
rents and to enforce payment for
overtime" occupancy where, the only
question is the surrender of key,
by decision of Justice of the Peace
Richard S. Swain, today
Justice Swain rendered decision in
favor Of the defendant with pow
er to collect costs in the case of Brill
VS.. Martin which has attracted wide
attention on the East Side.
A side issue of considerable inter-
est to Bridgeport legal fraternity was
the sitting of the court in the home
of August M. Brill, court Interpreter
and real estate owner, at 166 Brooks
street. Mr.. Brill, it is learned to-
day has been i'll for a considera BILE
period of time and because of his
inability ito attend the hearings the
court convened at his home.
Evidence presented at the trial dis
closed that Arthur Martin resided in
g. Stratford house, owned by Gussie
Brill, wife Of Augustus Brill, which
had been rented on a monthly ba-
sis. From a rental of SIS the month
ly payment was raised to $25, which
the tenants refused to pay, but they
were willing to compromise for one
month at $21.50.
At the expiration of the month,
Saturday, Sept. 80, the Martin fam
lily moved everything from the house
and telephonic notification was serv-
ed on Brill. 1t was alleged that the
key was then offered to Brill who
said that it might be returned on the
following Monday or Tuesday.
Although evidence was presented
to the effect that the key was re-
turned as agreed and that the house
was subsequently occupied, suit for
recovery of an additional months
rent was instituted and moneys of
the defendant attached.
The defense of the suit was bitter
and many witnesses were introduced,
with the result that the contentious
of the plaintiff were overruled and
decision rendered for the defendant
with costs.

GERMANY DROPS
VOPICkA CHARGE
ON EXPLANATION
Minister, Now in Berlin
Likely to Be Given
Leave of Absence.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Germany has
withdrawn her charge of unnedtral
conduct against Minister Vopicka, ac-
credited to Rumania, Serbia and Bul-
garia, it was announced today at The
state department. An explanation Of
the full facts in the case proved sat
lsfactory to Germany.
1t is probable that Minister Vopicka,
now in Berlin, will be granted leave
of absence, which he requested many
months ago and to which he is enti-
tied, in order to avoid any embarrass-
ment in sending him on to his post at
the Rumanian capital in Jassy, just
after gaining considerable military III
formation in his trip through the
Central empires.
The removal of Minister Vopicka
from Bucharest was explained hy
Germany to have had nothing to DO
with the previous charges of unneu-
trail conduct, but to have been occa-
stoned by the insistence of the military
authorities that all neutral diplomats
be withdrawn. This is in accordance
with International law. All other
neutrals have left except the Persian
minister who is to go soon.

DOCS HERE TO
Be RESTRAINED
WITH MUzzLES
Bridgeport and Westport
Affected by Commissioner
Phelps Order.

An order from Jeffrey o. Phelps,
Jr., commissioner Of domestic ami
mails at Hartford, that all dogs
in Bridgeport be muzzled for
three months. was received at the
town clerks office today. The or
der was in response to a recommend
alton made by Health Officer w. H.
Brown, as three persons have been
bitten here recently by rabid dog.
The com missioner also orders the
dog warden to kill any rabid dog at
once If it can be captured and to
kill ''mercifully'' all dogs or other
animals bitten by the rabid dog.
The order requires that all dogs
allowed to go at large wear wire
muzzles for three months from Jan.
"a. Even dogs on q leash must be
muzzled and the dog warden may
catch and kill any dog at large with
out muzzle or take and kill any
unmuzzled dog taken on a leash.
Dog Warden Hall receives fees for
all stray dogs he catches and de-
stroys. Last month he received
$27S for his work. Under the orr
der of Commissioner Phelps whole-
sale slaughter Of unmuzz1ed dogs
probably viii take place and in Or
der to do the work in three months
the dog warden will hire assistants.
During the last three days, Ste
phen 10th, John Singola and a six
year old son of the latter, have been
bitten by a rabid dog. The trio live
in Ridge avenue. They are now
taking the Pasteur treatment. 1T
will entail considerable expense ON
the city for the treatment Of persons
bitten by rabid dogs. Several weeks
ago residents of towns in the north
ern section of the state were alarm
ed by the number of rabid dogs
which ran at large and many persons
were bitten.
