Mr. Hubbard of liitchiield thought the bill was unnecessary, and that it might icsui1 in a snub to the state later. Mr. Smith of Hai'.tford said that in the mind of eight out of nine of the cums mittee it was a question as to whether the United States had a constitutional right to pass legislation penalizing crimes on other than United States ground with death. and that to make it certain that ouch attempt would be punished the present bill was prepar- ed. it was passed.

Both of these clues seem extremely improbable when viewed coolly. now believed that nothing more is known of howvalxon reached the place where his body was found than when he was first discovered and the case is as much a mystery as ever. The Bridgeport authorities still hold to the theory that it was a suicide, but they are still investigating, however. Detective George Arnold said this of. ternoon to a Sentinel reporter that he had succeeded in tracing Dixon as far as Fairfleld. and that he stopped at the house of James Donaldson in that town and informed Donaldson that he was on his way to Norwalk.’ He was at that time following the old “Post road." and was on foot. He told Don- aldson that he was on strike and had trouble over it. He left there and- whcn last seen was walking in the di- reotion of Norwalk. “Unless he had wanted to get out of the way some- where. what was he wandering out in» to the country for. i do not believe that he was murdered at all." Chief of Police Vollmer said this morning: . "if Dixon committed sui- cide would it. not have. been the most natural 1hiug in the world for him to have done the dead with his own knife? This knife. however. was found closed in his pocket " The mystery remains as deep as ev.or Yesterday Superintendent Birming- ham. of the Bridgeport police. said: "We have succeeded in tracing Dixon‘s movements on Wednesday night until we have. left him on the edge of Fair- ileld near Moody's mills about 6 o'clock Wednesday evening. He then had a clear track before him to Norwalk. with no saloons to pass by. In my opinion the man was clearly mentally unbalanced. He was wandering away from his home with no definite ob- Iect In view." Detective Arno d also said: "This morning I succeeded in get- ting hold of two witnesses that saw Dixon late Wednesday. ‘ They are .I. A. Sandqulst. of 478 Center street. who saw Dixon about 5:45- on Wed- nesday on North avenue. between Park and Wood avenues, going west and walking slowly. At that time Dixon had on a grey suit Sandquist says that he knew Dixon well,‘ hav- ing worked with him and spoke to him as he passed by him "The other man is named Setterland and lives at Hotland Heights on I". R. D. Route No. it. He says he saw Dixon passing by the. gate of Mountain Grove cemetery and spoke with him. "Thus yoa sea the Bridgeport po- lice,:have traced his movements up to Wednesday evening when they left Dixon on the old King‘s Highway. the old route between New York and Boo ton. and the most direct route to Nor- wallr. Dixon at that time was prob- ably finding his way by the telephone poles with which the road is lined. " The Bridgeport. Evening m» pub lished last night the following: “The police theory is that Dixon was mentally unbalanced and wandered to Norwnlk. His wife says the watch supposed to be missing is home. The police believe he would not have gone ‘ so for on foot if in his right mind. As’ he had no money he could not very well have been robbed. The authorities he iieve he was mentally unbalanced."

He also. it is claimed. sold Cumberland Island. which Mr. Stafford owned. to the late Thomas Carnegie brother of Andrew Carnegie. The IF- luudis valued at "000.000.

April 20.le19 state department has received a dcspuicb from Ambassador McCormick. at St. l’etersburg to the effect that the Rue siau minister for foreign afloira has assured him that the published reports of the proposed convention between Russia and China relating to Manchu rln are absolutelr incorrect. and that there is no foundation for the report“ that Russia demands that t.‘. bina refuse the requests of other powers for treaty ports and consulates in lliuncburia. He had been assured that the Russian government has no intenilon to ex- cludc other countries from advantages now enjoyed in Mancliuria; that the United States may be sure that noth— ing will be done to close doors now open and that American commerce and American capital are what Russia most desires to attract. it is under- stood also that similar assurances have been received by Secretary Hay from the Russian ambassador. Sir Michael Herbert, the British amv bassador. and Baron Von Sicrnburg. the German minister. called at the state department today and 'were ad- vised of the latest developments in the case. These advices have done much to remove the feeling of anxiety and apprehension aroused in Washing. ton by the reports of Russia’s inten- tion to dominate Manchuria. The fact that nothing is said about Russian evacuation according to the original treaty will of course justify our gov- ernment in keeping a close» watch on North China. Mongolia.“ as well as Manchuria. BURGLAR WOUNDED THREE MEN. PHILADELPHIA.
