LEONARD MALLORY COMMITS

ARRIVAL OF POLICE PREVENTS TRAGEDIES Probable Murder of Child And Suicide of Mother
 Thwarted.

X probable murder and suicide was rival of the police at a house at the corner of Broad and High street. The police rushed there in response to a telephone call received by Captain Thomas W. Grace at the headquar- ters that a woman with a revolver and a carving knife was about to end the life of her daughter and then commit suicide. Motorcycle Officer William Hayes and Officer Thomas Dolan went to the scene.
 They found Mrs. Josephine Sadis. aged 22. in q greatly excited condition. She reiterated her threats to kill her daughter and then herself. She was taken to the police station and is being held on n technical charge of breach of peace. According to he story. her life since her marriage with Joseph Sadis. at present an inmate in the state reformatory at Cheshire. has been hard one. The husband, who was committed from this city for burglary at Louis Fodt's place on Arch street on the night of September 22. 1918. was n worthless sort of an individual. The woman says she mar ried him on August IS. 1915. in Hartford. Shortly after this he was arrested in Hartford for alleged com- pIicity h the arson cases in that city. The charges were nos proven. He again fell into the mcshes of the law for annoying women in that city. It was only a short time after the ar rival Of the couple here that he was sent away.
 That the woman really intended to carry out her threat can be seen in the fact that she has purchased re- volvers twice within a week. The first one was taken from her by her mother in-law. This morning she went to a second ha nd store and pur- Gf.ased a 22-calibrc automatic. It was with this gun and an aluminium carving knife that she intended to do the killing. she says.
 She was closetcd with Detective Sergeant A. J. Richardson, and her tale Of life was not the sweet dream of marital bliss. She married. she said. when 22 years old. and her hope then was to obtain a good husband. When asked by the detective if she had intended to kill her child. she nodded her head in the affirmative. She has been working of late in a Main street coffee house. She will be arraignd in court tomorrow morn ing

TRANSPORTATION TALK
1~I Chamber of Commerce Has Railroad Officials As Guests at
 shuttle Meadow Club.

shuttle Meadow Club.
 At a dinner given by the Chamber of Commerce to officials of the New York. New Haven x Hartford rail- road at the Shuttle Meadow Country club this noon, the transportation question was discussed from the standpoint of the manufacturer and the railroads. The invited guests to- day were: G. M. Wood, general freight agent; Robert Hackett. assist ant to Vice President Campbell of the New Haven road; J. O. Halliday. su- perintendent of transportation. J. E.. Leach. the local freight agent.
 The speakers told of the abnorma u freight pressure that has been put on the railroads since the war, and said that the railroads had little time to prepare for the added transporta- ton requirements that they have been force to meet. During the war, the railroads were pressed to capacity with the result that the rolling stock received hard usage, and the short age of man power resulted in the necessary repairs being retarded. The coal question was, and is serious, for the existence of the railroads center around coal and labor. The efficiency of the railroads is in direct proportion to the seriousness of the shortage Of the supply of these two necessities The local condition was also re- viewed for the manufacturers and the speeches were along the general line of improving economic conditions that both the factories and railroads have to face.

Western Senator Apparently Not Wanted By Powers That Be-COnn. Leans To- ward Illinois Man.

 Chicago, June 10.-The ubiquitous Senator Hiram Johnson from Cali fornia furnisher tho only monkey- wrench that has thus far been thrown into the cogs of the thus far smooth running G. O. F. machinery. Uncer- tainty as to the westerner's attitude is delaying proceedings appreciably, and the old Guard is doing every- thing it can to smooth things over without precipitating a fight on the floor Of the convention.
 At the present writing. however their task seems an almost hopeless one. although they may be able to steer their ship away from the rock s of discord before the finish of today's proceedings.
 Would Sidetrack Johnson.
 The reactionary faction is not play ing any favorites in its quest for a candidate, but is merely trying to sidetrack Johnson. Wood. Lowden or even Hoover may be the choice of the convention. IL appears now that a choice of one of the more prominent candidates is desired, the big cry be- ing to eliminate the radical senator from California. This is the reason for the post poncment of the conven- tion proceedings. and not the old cry that tho Chicago hotel men are work ing to delay action for the benefit of their own pocketbooks. Trading ses- sions are going on in all of the prin- cipal hea dquarters and in the various meeting places of the factions that would control the convention.
 When it appears that enough dele gates arc lined up to assure the nom- ination of any one man without too extended a fight the convention will actually come down 10 business.
 Oppose Johnson's Platform.
 The fight will not be carried to the floor of the assembly if the Old Guard. which wishes to present the appearance of a smooth running con-

Sim Fein Founder Arrested in Dublin
 by Military Forces
IRepubIIcan A. P. Leased Wirel

DUBLIN, Nov. 26.--Authoritative information was given the Associated Press this evening that the arrests to- day of Arthur Griffith, founder Of the Sim Fein, and John MacNeill, and E. J. Duggan, Sim F'ein members of the parliament. and others, was the prelude to a contemplated roundup of a number of well-known men either actually or believed to be con- nected with the Irish republican movement.
 Some form of internment is planned and it is intended to hold them indefinitely" the correspondent was told.
 The official who made the statement said he believed no charge had yet been formulated against Mir. Griffith or Professor MacNeill. but that their arrest had been decided on for the reasons that documents recently dis covered show a link between the Dail Eireann. and the republican army, that the Dali Eireann had been collecting funds for republicans known to be engaged in the murder campaign and that it seems inconceivable that the Dali Eireann was not aware that they were voting money for the purpose of the murder campaign"
 It was added that I've possess ample powers to jug all the Dali Eireann members"
 The official said that two instances had been reported as late as today of attempts to raise money for warfare In one case a Wexford farmer had been threatened with force unless he contributed 1x17. It is announced of ficially that the police are finding arms and explosives in streets all over Dublin. apparently thrown by people from their windows in the feai of their premises being raided.
