John H. Woltltausen Company Closes
Plant in Woodward Avenue
This afternoon the big hatters' strike
which followed immediately on the
heels of the decision of the Associated
Hat Manufacturers to order the union
label out of the hats in every factory
they control, appears even more seri-
ous and portentlous than yesterday.
and the end is no where in sight, al-
though important developments are
looked forward to before the day is
over.
A gathering of the leaders of the
union is being held in New York this
afternoon. President Motiltt and the
members of the National Board of the
United Hatters of North America were
to confer and receiVe reports from the
various branches of the union involved
in the strike. Secretary Martin Law-
lor, of the United Hatters, said the
ticnp in the plants of the Associated
liat Manufacturers was complete. F'it-
teon thousand men in the. 100 factor-
ies all over the country had gone out.
as a result of the manufacturers’ or-
der discontinuing the union label, he
said. and would stay but until the mat.
ter was adjusted.
The strike so far has been a peace-
ful one, no disorders having been re-
ported anywhere.
The big plant of the Crol'ut and
Knapp Company. Where about seven
hundred people are employed, is at a
complete standstill now.» so far as
manufacturing is concerned, for this
morning the trimmers and binders
were ordered to quit. Yesterday nf-

The local butters are sorry that the
present condition has arisen, but they
have no other alternative than stop
plug work. They feel that unionism
is in the balance. The neutral tactics
of the manufacturers i pointed out. in
some quarters as being an example of
the position being taken by the manu-
facturers of the country just now; in
other words. that they are forcing the
issue on account of the recent adverse
labor decisions. it is hardly expected
that any of the manufacturers in the

DANBURY.".;\qn. lG.—-—Absolute quiet
prevails in this city today, so far as
the trouble in the hat trade is con-
cerned. The number of men and wo-
men who are‘ out: of work by reason of
theatie-up is about 4,000. Up to this
afternoon there had been no develop-
ments of any kind. No meetings of
any one of the organizations have been
called, and the only indication that
anything out: of the ordinary is trans.
piring in the unusually large number
of men on. the streets in the center
of the oity.‘
Arnold Turner. treasurer of the Na‘

Order issued by Justice Tomltins lor
a Hearing in New York City
NYACK, N. Y., .ian. 16.—~Harry K.
Thaw will be given a trial in New
York clt y to determine whether he is
sane or insane. An order to that of.
fect was issued today by Justice A. B.
Tompkins, to whom an appeal asking
for a trial was made by Mrs. William
Thaw. Harry's mother.
Under Justice. Tompkins' decision.
’I‘haw will not be given a trial. by JIlI‘Yx
Mrs. 'l‘haw's petition requested such a
hearing, but. as Justice Mills had al-
ready refused to grant a similar re«
quest. Justice Tompkins denied that
portion of the petition, and ordered
the case to he heard before a court
or judge of New York city with or
without the assistance of a referee, as
the trial judge may decide.
The questions presented to Justice
Tompkins included the validity of the
commitment, the present. mental con-
dition of the prisoner. and whether it.
is now safe for him to be at. large.
Justice Tompkins decided that he will
not outsider the question of validity.
as that has already been passed upon
adversely by Justices Morschauser and
Mills. and is now on appeal to the all-
pellato division. The question of
Thaw‘s present sanity, Justice Tomp-
kins says, is entitled to be fairly tried
and determl‘ped.

Gaines Moves He Be Stricken lrom
the Rolls
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—'l‘hc right
of Governor Lillcy, of Connecticut, to
retain his seat as a representative in
congress from that state was question-
(‘il in firehouse of representatives, yes-
terday, hy.Mr. Gaines (Tenn)
Mr. Gaines offered a resolution. as a
hunter of privilege. declaring that as
Mr. Lilley had been elected a member
of the house of representatives of the
60th congress, and, also had been
elected and qualified as governor of
lonncctlcut. his name should be
stricken from the roll. and that his
seat in the house he declared vacant.
The majority leader, Mr. Payne, (N.
Y.) moved the reference of the resolu-
tion to the commute-eon the judiciary.
The Tennessee member declared that
Gov. Lilley‘s duties as governor were
incompatible with those of a premium
of the house. He cited‘severnl preco-
denis in whichlhe house had acted
along the lines of his resolution. in
defense of Governor Lilley, Mr. iiig—
gins (Coon). declared that Mr. Lilley
did resign as a member of the house.
that he resigned to his predecessor,
Governor Woodruff. that he had at-
ready qualified as governor, and that
he was no longer a member of the
house.
Replying to a suggestion of Mr.
Henry ('l‘cxusl that. the newspapers
had stated that the retiring governor
had declined to accept. the resignation,
Mr. Higgins said there was no law in
C inecticut which required the exe-
cu ivc to immediately and forthwith
call a special election to fill a vacancy.
Mr. Payne asserted that the debate
had shown conclusively that the judi-
ciary committee was the proper body
to consider the question. At the sug-
gestion of Mr. Gaines, ltir. Payne
agreed that the committee should be
required to report in 10 days. and an
amended Mr. Payne's motion to refer
the resolution. to that committee was
ununlmtmsly adopted.

come by herchild’s tragic death and
could not come to court. so the case
was continued. _ ,
Since her husband was sent to pris-

The Trouble ls Expecled to Come
to a Head Very Soon
A critical situation has apparently
arisen in the management of the city's
municipal electric plant and syalcin,
and all indications point to thc \‘(lll'l'ii
and taxpayers being called upon very
shortly to tictcrmlpc between the com
mtssloucrs, or rattler two of them. and
Superintendent Albert it. \i'lnchester.
Thai (iomtniaslorwra Joseph A. Yolk
and Thomas Richardson anti Superin-
tendent Wlm‘llcstci‘ are at absolute
loggerhcads. there is now no shadow
of a doubt. and it. is a condition that
has been growing in seriousness for
settle time. though it became known
to the general public only recently.
when the test, was made with a new
type. of flaming arc lamp on the high-
ways. Previous to that time. however.
it had been known by ,a number of
people that a majority of the. board
of ‘clectricui commissioners and Mr.
Winchester have not. been in accord in
the tnnnagemcnt of the plant. Charles
N. Smith. the third commissioner. and
Mr. Winchester. are understood to
have no differences on the score in
question. t
Thai. tilts condition does exist
is a source of sorrow to thinking citi-
zens of the city. for the South Norv
walk electric plant is recognized all
over the United States as a model
municipal enterprise. and has receiv-
ed a great deal of attention from ex-
ports in municipal enterprise. its
magnificent success has been a source
of inspiration to believers in munici-
pally controlled utilities everywhere.
The whole limiter, according to pres-
ent understanding. will be put up to
the city for adjustment. either through
the city council or a city bloating. and
though tlu- surface is, badly ruffled.
there is no reason to believe that the
fine work built up by years of hard
endeavor will in any wise be affected
eventually.
Mr. Winchester says that his hands
are tied under existing conditions.
which greatly hamper fifth in the
management of the plant. He says on
this score:
"l have tried to do what is right all
of the time and in the city's interests.
in character as men l have the utmost
respect for them Messrs. Voik and
Richardson. but i believe they are not
in harmony with the best interests of
the plant as I view the situation. \t’iit
alludue respect to the commissioners,
l have not deviated one iota irmn Iii,»
original purpose to stand by what i
believe is right. if i fall. it must be
through my own error, and no one New
nutst suffer. if i die. it shall be fight-
ing. rather itmn run away.“
in reference to Frank A. llaltcr. the
trimmer. whom the ctuniuissioncrs dis-
missed. Mr. Winchester takes the
stand that he was judgcd and sentenc-
ed by his own accuscrs, contrary to
justice. uiitl which llt‘ says should be
impartial. and should not be swayed
by personal motives. When Mr. Win-
cheater was told to carry out the
edict of the commissioners to him to
dismiss linker. he refused. and the
commissioners then discharged
Baker themselves. ills services
with the plant. therefore, ended
today. at least temporarily. From
what Mr: Winchester can learn con-
cerning Baker's alleged "sassiugf’ n[
the commissioners. it appears. he says.
that. what he stated to the commis'
sloners, he said while defending him-
self against unjust. criticism concern
ing his connec'ion with the new lamps.
Baker's friends are talking of his case
gioing before the mayor and city coun-

tremely narrow escape from destruc-
tion by fire. yesterday morning. Mrs.
Carr heard a crackling sound in the
cellar, and when she opened the cel-
tar door to investigate she was mct
by a volume of smoke. Without lus~
tug any lime, she summoned her bro-
thers-in-iaw. Arthur Carr and Am-
brose Carpenter, who live nearby, and
the services of Charles Sherman were
also secured. The three men wont to
work with buckets of water. and soon
had the blue under mutt-oi, though
not, until it had worlr A itself up from
the cellar to the wr' A of the dining
room. The tire l' ascribed to soot. ig-
niting in the chutney.
’i‘he damages will amount to quite
a little. for the walls of the dining
room had to be broken in. but are con-
sidered very slight in view of what
would have been the result had not the
blaze been discovered until a minute
or so later, A telephone message was
sent to Mayflower Hook and ladder
truck house, but none of the liremen
were about the place. and could not
be readily reached.

DENVER. (301., Jan. Ids—Seventy-
one dead. fifty injured. at least thirty
of whom will probably died. That is
the record of the wreck of the Denver
in lthio Grando passenger train No.
5 near Dotsero. twenty miles from
Glenwood Springs, according to a long
distance telephone message from Glen-
woori Springs today. '
The passenger train was flying down
the grade. making for a siding, five
miles west of Dotsero. where it ex-
pected to meet the freight, and the
freight was also trying to make the
siding. The result was a. headon col.
listen in which the engines were
smashed, the baggage car of the peso
avenger. train left standing on and, one
of the day coaches telescoped by the
chair car immediately behind it and
fifty people in the day coach and chair
car mangled almost. beyond recogni-
tion. it was from the chair car that
the dead were taken and twenty bodies
have been rm‘overed- this far.
All the sleeping cars remained on
the track and none of the passengers
in them was injured.
The passenger train crashed into the
leading engine of the freight train.

which is a blind siding. it is said that
not it single person in the day coach
escaped. "
it was impossible to carry the
wounded around the wreck and this
fact delayed the relief to passengers
for more than an hour.
It is supposed, that the engineer of
the passenger train thought the,,frelght
had passed the siding and was ng
too rapidly to stop his train
