 COULD EQUALLY GUILTY
Says He CoBcurred With Other Trustees in Disposition of
 Estate of Millionaire.

New York, April s.-Frank Gould, who with his sister. Anna. Duchess De Tallyrand, brought action for an accounting of the $S2,O00.000 estate of his father, Jay Gould, is equally responsible with the trustees in the administration of the estate. j.. Arthur Leve, counsel for tho George J. Gould trustees, asserted at the hearing yesterday.
 Frank participated In practically all estate transactions and counter signed approximately s10,e00.000 In checks from 1888 to 1912, Mir. Leve contended.
 Having had full knowledge of all transactions of which he and his sister, Anna, complain in this ac- ton, he must share equally with them responsibility for the acts of the trustees" he said.
 The activities of the trustees in supporting the Missouri Pacific railroad were. not speculative, as had been charged, but were for the purpose of conserving valuable property, William Wallace. another attorney for the trustees, said.
 Mir. Wallace laid the blame for bringing on the litigation and for | arousing hates that were kindled in 1911" at the doors of Frank Gould.

States Attorney Lewis Says There Are That Number in Waterbury, Due to Police Iaxity.

Waterbury, April S.-Between 300 and 400 places openly sell liquor in this city. States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis. told the Rotary club here yesterday.

This, he admits is not the best way of obtaining con- victions but 1t is the only way available.
 Attorney Lewis said that only one private citizen had come to him with complaints about the fragrant eva sion Of the liquor law, and that per- son was Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis of St. Johns Episcopal church.

FATHER ADMITS
 KILLING CHILD
Rogers, Waterbury Man, Then Attempts Suicide

Schenectady. N. r.. April s. From a suffering man in tho hos pital here yesterday came a story of a husband, who, Respondent over his young wife's death in child birth. had chloroformed his two weeks old son and then had attempted suicide.
 The man was Thurlow II. Rogers of Waterbury. Conn. He was found unconscious in q hotel here Satur- day noon, and until Monday night. when he came from the coma long enough to ask for food and 10 say he was Rogers of Waterbury" he had not been identified.
 Admits Staying Child Yesterday his brother W. E. Rog- , CTS of Troy, came to visit him and the brother, after talk with the suffering man, collapsed. Upon being revived he said Thurlow Rogers had admitted to him he had killed his baby son, Blanchard, and there after, police said. they drew from the sick man the curious story of his doings in the past few days. He was being held at the hospital today under police, guard as a fugitive, with the charge of homicide against his name.
 According to Chief of Police Will liam II. Funston and District At torney Alexander T. Blessing, Rog- CTS told substantially this story: i Religion Enters In
 His wife had died March i, leav- ing a sickly child, Blanchard. Rog- CTS was Respondent over his wife's death and said he found his trouble , increased by. the desire of his wife's | relatives to rear the child in the faith of the Roman Catholic church. He desired to have 1t reared as a Protestant.
 He had taken the child to rela- tives in New Haven, Conn. and then about two weeks ago took his son one day to a park. There he poured chloroform on a handkerchief and placed child and handkerchief in a suitcase. The suitcase he checked in the New Haven railroad station. A few days later he decided to ob- tain the suitcase, but read in news- paper the child's body had been found. He then destroyed the check, and after that. he said, he didn't recall what had happened. Planned Suicide
 Rogers was found in his hotel room here Saturday noon uncon- scious and with a halter about his neck and attached to the. bed post. On table was q railroad time table with what he had intended to be a parting message written in pencil and indicating he planned 10 com init suicide. The writing said he 1 had been "alone in his act" that he had sent his baby 10 heaven" and that his wife once had told him she would end her life if ever he died
 During periods of rational action yesterday. police tried to draw from Rogers what he meant by saying he had sent his baby to heaven" but not until the brother arrived was the story learned. Previously Rogers had told police he had left the baby with cousin in New Britain,

Crossing the Ocean
in Colonial Times

A journal written by a tourist
who crossed the Atlantic to New
York before the year 100 has recent
ly been discovered It gives a vivid
picture Of early shipbOard accOmmO-
datiOn. The passenger was travelling
for pleasure, not emigrating. He was
accustomed to the best treatment the
traveller Of that period could procure.
His journal records that the dimin-
utive sailing vessel set out on its long
voyage from Holland bound for New
Amsterdam. He begins early in the
voyage to complain of the cabin.
There was no palatial lounge and
writing room in those days. Although
he was a frst-class passenger, he could
not enjoy the luxury of private
staterOOm, but shared the little cabin
with men, women and children. He
notes that the deck above his head
was so low that though seated on his
trunk writing his journal, he could
not sit erect. The space between
decks was little more than three feet.
He complains of the rough weather
and of the fact that most Of the cabin
passengers were seasick. There is,
besides, frequent comment upon the
quality of the drinking water, which
did not improve in the two months re-
quired for the crossing. The bath
ing facilities were primitive, consist
ing of a few buckets of salt water
enjoyed in a more or less secluded
corner of the deck.
The traveller girds at the customs
regulations. It is recorded that the
sea chests and rolls of clothing were
turned inside out with no consider.

The writer noticed. that the pas
sengers who enjoyed political posi-
tiOns were not mOlested.
