MYSTERY FOR THE POLICE
Trio Near By Run Away When
Bullets Fly-Owney Madden's
Old Gang Suspected.

The third attempt on successive
nights at murder from the back seat
of an automobile was made by gang
sters last night when three men fired
several shots from a car that whirled
suddenly up to the corner of Seventh
avenue and Twenty eighth street and
then. after the shooting. went as sud-
denly south. Edward Bardsley, a
plumber. OF 4O2 Fifty-sixth street,
Brooklyn, who was walking In the
avenue with Miss jeanette Kies of 274
Tenth avenue, was shot in the leg but
the police have not been able to learn
whether the gangsters were shooting
at Bardsiey or at three young men
who were walking ahead of the couple
These young men, Miss Kies told the
detectives, ran as soon as the shooting
began.
Detectives James Brennecke. Joseph
Allies and Edward Doyle OF the West
Thirtieth street station are investigating
the shooting, and 1t is understood that
they are trying to lay the trouble to the
Owney Madden gang. whose bailiwicR
begins at Thirtieth street. Although this
gang has been officially non-existent for
some time there are still left many OF
the thugs and murderers who followed
Cwney the killer, and the detectives be-
lievc they set forth last night TO avengt
a real or fancied insult. inspired to tht
motor car method by the success OF th'
gangs In their fights of Tuesday ant
Wednesday night.
Miss Kies was taken to the Wes
ThirtIeth street station and questioned
after Bardsley had been taken to Belle
vue Hospital. She told the police thai
she had no sweetheart in her own neigh
borhood and that she knew OF no rea'
son why any one should shoot at her OF
at Bardsley. She said that she was IN
troduced to Bardsley by friend last
Sunday at Rockaway Beach, and sa"
him again there on Labor Day.
At that time he made an engagement
TO take her to the Republic Theatre last
night, and called for her about o'clock.
He asked her to take a taxicab. but she
said she preferred to walk. so they
walked east on Twenty-third street 70
Seventh avenue where Bardsley stopped
and had his shoes shlned.
Then they started north on Seventh
avenue. At Twenty-eighth street, she
said, the automobile stopped suddenly
in front of them and three men In the
back seat began shooting. They hred
three shots. and then sent their machine
swiftly down Seventh avenue.
The girl said that she and Bardsley
walked for several steps before Bardsiey
discovered that he had been wounded.
Then he fell to the sidewalk He told
the detectives that he had no idea why
he should have been shot at His story
agreed with that Of Miss kies In almost
all particulars.

At the hour of fling this despatch thel
general opinion seems to be that the.
Irish Republican Cabinet has power to-
appoint plenipotentiaries TO such a con-
ference as Mr.. Lloyd George suggests.
The present character OF the Irish
Cabinet makes II possible to predict
with almost mathematical certainty that
Il VIII accept the conference. Also II isl
easily deduciole that the Irish Repub-
lican plenipotentIaries will be men more
facIle and more practical in conferences
than is Mr.. de Valera. II Is one ex-
tremely well informed opinion tonight
that they win do this:
The delegates will tell the British
plenipotentiaries the Dali Eircann was
elected 10 form a Republic as the best
safeguard OF Irish liberties. but thaS
" tho British can suggest another
equally efficient device to this end the
Dali will ask for new mandate from
the Irish people on new guarantees
Thus they will be In position 10 de-
mand sufficient guarantees against a

The Irish negotiations turned the
corner with the publication to-day
of the British Cabinets note DIR isted
at the council in Inverness. Theirs
are few who now doubt either that
Eamon de Valera will accept IL IN
vitation OF the British Prime Aillis-
ter to confer in Inverness on Sep
tember 20 or that such a conferences
will break down before a con iess
agreement is reached.
In those quarters in London sra
in Dublin where peace has oeeu

akin to jubilation tonight. + Is

At that time Mr.. Lloyd George of
fered an unconditional conference.
while Mr.. de Valera refused. Mean
while both of them talked of mo re-
public" and "a republic" in terms
which made an agreement seem wholly
impossible That attitude was per-

Tonight Mr.. Lloyd George and Mr..
de Valera have reached firm, COM

George persists in denying that free

In other words. the long series OF

There is possibility. of course. that
the intellectual radicals OF the Sim Fein

reiterate the demand for a right TO

superstition Concerning Caui.

The caul is thin membrane found
encompassing the head of some chill
dren when born, and 1t is considered
q good omen for the children them
selves. This superstition probably be-
came widespread about the time of the
Emperor Antoninus Plus. When he
was born he had band Of membrane
around his forehead in the shape Of a
diadem, and he attributed all his good
fortune to this caul, and this started
the sale of them. A few sailors carry
ing them who then happened to be
saved from shipwreck diverted the su-
perstitiOn toward mariners.

His Own Life.

1.-THE doctor gives anesthesia to
hopeless agony. The soldier spares a
thrust or shot to writing COM
rade. Any decent man shoots his
women folk to save them from dis
honor"
Such was the explanation made by
E. Il. Eardley for killing himself and
his wife in their little cottage at
scarborough, says an English ex-
change.
Mrs. Eardley was hopeless invalid,
and her disease had developed to the
point where it became necessary to
place her in home for the mentally
afflicted. In the letter from which
the extracts above are made, Eardley
said:
"For two years now my wife has
lived in hourly torment. Her condt-
ton grows daily worse. can do moth
ing more for her; my will to live and
win is broken. There is nothing be-
fore her but the madhouse, without
even the alienation I have been able
to bring.
"However human law may regard
the matter, my conscience justifies
me; indeed, should live coward IN
my own esteem if failed her in this
extremity"
Even in his sorrow Eardley thought
IF those who would discover the trag-
edy, and in the letter he wrote to the
friend telling him Of his determina-
ton, he added:
1.-THE bodies Of myself and my dear
wife will be found together in the lit
tie dressing room. Great care must
be taken in entering the house; the
dressing room and communicating
bedroom will be- full Of gas"
After hearing all the testimony ana
the reading Of the letter the jury
found that the dead man. took his
own life and that of his wife while he
was temporarily Of unsound mind ana
added an expression Of sympathy with
the relatives.
