Riley, who was refused confirmation, yesterday, also will be repected as tbe Senate Finance Committee has decided to report adversely on his came. The Governor declared to friends this morning that be would send in again for Bombay, India, May 3 A profound sensation was caused today by tbe Sudden breaking oil of the projected marriage of Princess Indira, only daughter of the reigning Gaekwar of Baroda. to Prince Jitendra, son of the Maharajah of Cooch Behar, which was to bare been celebrated in Calcutta on Monday next.

The princess announced her decision to her parents and her affianced last evening and sailed this morning for England. Elaborate preparations had been made for the ceremony, in which descendants of two of the most prominent native rulers in India were to have been united. The reason for the step taken by the princess baa not been divulged, but it is understood that it is probably a question of caste. Such au occurrence is almost unique among the ruling families of India, and it Is said to be traceable to the princess' unusual intimacy with English and American customs and life. The Maharani of Baroda, her mother, Is the author of "The Position of Women in Indian Life," and has advanced ideas on the subject.

The state over which the Gaekwar of Baroda rules Is over 8,000 square miles in extent and has a population ot 2,000,000. He is one of the wealthiest men In India, and as a ruler is entitled to a salute of twenty-one guns. He has written several books and is a man of high education. His full name is bis highness the Maharajah Gaekwar ot Baroda. Sir Eayajl Rao III.

His son, Shriinat Jaistngrao, studied at Harvard University, and the Gaekwar himself has visited the United States. It was reported that during the Durbar at Delhi at which King George was crowned Emperor of India, REGRETS HE TRIED SUICIDE Young Belfast Salesman Rescued After His Double Attempt. It was settled today that there Is to be at least one of the new log cabins, to be erected by the city In the more primitive parks, this side of the East River. The announcement was made that a cabin would be erected In Forest Park, by Commissioner Elliott. The log cabins are to be used as headquarters for the Boy Scouts, and In return for the hospitality of the city, the youngsters are to help out In protecting the city's park flowers.

Commissioner Charles B. Stoves of Manhattan is responsible for the log cabin idea. He found be was having trouble disposing of the chestnut trees killed by the chestnut scourge and has hit on this idea to use the trunks of the trees. The cabins will be twenty feet by thirty feet. Mr.

Stover will build cabins in Kort Washington Park, Highbrldge Park, Is-ham Park and possibly In Silver Lake Park, Staten Island. At Prospect Park it was said today that there are no dead chestnut trees there now and that the plan to put up a log cabin had not been considered. Bright skies and a gentle breeze, with almost no touch of excessive humidity In the air, brought out the suffrage sympathizers In numbers that satisfied the sanguine expectations of their leaders for the great, suffrage parade up Fifith avenue, Manhattan, today. Washington Square, the center of tho hosts who were to march for the cause of "Votes for Women," was a riot of color early this with Us througs of women and men marchers and their banners and sashes, but out of Its confusion the parade gradually took shape, and all was in order when It finally moved. The Brooklyn forces, to the number of more than 2,000, were conspicuous anions the marchers.

About 600 of them had reported at their Brooklyn headquarters, at "1 Lafayette avenue, shortly after 1 o'clock, and alter every last straggler had been given flnal Instructions for the march, the Brooklyn delegation marched to the Atlantic avenue subway station. There they boarded special trains which carried them to Fourteenth street, Manhattan. From Fourteenth street the Brooklyn surfragiats marched again to their station at Fifth avenue and Tenth street, where they waited their turn to fall in line. The other Brooklyn women Joined them there. In addition to this big from Brooklyn, there were also about 300 women midcr the banner of the Kings County leaders and a big corjs of male sympathizers with the cause who, clad In frock coats and top hats, matched as though they were used to It.

Elaborate precatutions were made by the police this afternoon to protect the women marchers. The inspectors who have charge of the 1.200 policemen distributed along the lines ot march have assured the suffrage leaders there will not be a repetition of tho confusion which occurred when tho suffragettes marched In Washington last march. Ten patrolmen have been assigned to each block between Washington Square, where the procession formed to the Plaza, at Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue, and from Fifty-seventh street and Fifth avenue to Carnegie Hall, another line ot march. At Fifty-seventh street and Fifth avenue the procession inulne nn the ave- action by the Senate, tbe nomination of John Mitchell to be State Labor Commissioner, although Mitchell was rejected yesterday. Ho will again be rejected, say the leaders.

The Governor has several men in mind for State Prisons Superintendent, it is stated, provided Mr. Weed Is rejected. One of them is said to be President John Purroy Mitchel of the Board of Aldermen. Another Is Francis P. Klernan of Syracuse.

Another is George W. Blake, who would be rejected by the Senate, and another Is former Assemblyman Twombley of Clinton County. Unless the Senate confirms some of the Governor's appointments, It is Bald, he will not send the nomination of either Sue Chairman George M. Palmer or of William A. Leflingwell to be members of the upstate Public Service Commission, and will make recess appointments in the other cases.

Albany, April 3 Summing up the accomplishments of the present legislative session frpm the Democratic viewpoint, Senator Robert F. Wagner, tho majority leader, in i statement today says: "The Democratic Legislature has surpassed in progressive legislation tbe record made by any Legislature in the history of the State. We have kept faith with our pledges. "By the passing of twenty-seven laws drawn by the factory investigating commission, we have lifted labor out of a condition In which It has struggled for fifty years. "The Blauvelt direct primary bill which passed both Houses is absolutely genuine, and was criticised mainly by those whose extreme partisanship influences them to withhold all credit for its pas-sags from a Democratic Legislature.

'The highway law and the public health law were amended so as to provide a workable system of administration, minus the weaknesses nnd antiquities of the present machinery. "Under tho home rule law every city is authorized to regulate its own property and its loi-al afTairs. "To remedy the New York police situation a board of public welfure waB created, to which was transferred the functions which the Police Department now exercises with regard to gambling and prostitution. Speaker Alfred Smith of the Assembly said: "The Assembly hits conducted its business tulrly, honestly and with expediency. We have everything to be thankful for and nothing to apologize for.

From a lt-iubllcan point of view tho keynote of the session has been "extravagance and disorganization." Senator cHou R. Brown, the Republican leader, in a statement says: "The finances ot tbe State are in a pitiable plight. "Politically, the session has been as inept as In other ways. The failure to pass a sound direct nominations bil1 which the Republicans have pressed slncn February because the Governor stood out for the abolition of the State convention is inexcusable. "The city legislation Is Incompetent, nnd principally distinguished for the orgy in the creation of new places and tin? raising of old salaries.

The home rule bill has already been amended twice ami will cause more litigation than can bb settled in a generation." "The Democratic party has failed In all its pledges," says a statement Dy Minority Leader Hlnnian ot the Assembly. He asserted that "in spite of the buasi.3 of economy, the appropriation bills total far in excess of any previous year in tbt history of tbe State, and yet every department of the State administration if ittcrly demoralized and disorganized." not CRIMINALS ARE COLDBLOODED the Gaekwar insulted the King oy appearing in full dress. WARMEST MAY 3 ON RECORD. An odor of gas today led one of the employes In the Peck Slip Hotel, at 12 Broadway, to the room occupied by Alfred Noble, a traveling salesman from Belfast, Ireland, and when he could not gain entrance he summoned Patrolman Palmer of the Clymer street police station, to investigate. Palmer forced the door and Noble was found unconscious in bed, with gas pouring from an opened Jet, and with a deep razor gash in his throat.

A razor lay on the floor near htm. When Dr. Goldman arrived from the Williamsburg Hospital, five stitches were placed in Palmer's throat and be was restored to consciousness and taken to the Clymer street police station. A charge of attempted suicide brought him shortly prior to noon before Magistrate McGuire in the Manhattan avenue police court. There Noble told a story of having tried suicide because of being a business failure.

He said be was the son of a wealthy Belfast linen merchant, sent to this country a year ago in the interest of his father's business. "Business was very bad," eald Noble, "and I got poorer and poorer. I was too proud to tell my friends here of my circumstances and I wouldn't let my parents know what a mess I had made. I kept telling them that business was fine. So when 1 found that I didn't have a penny left I thought the best thing to do was to end It all." Noble told the court, however, that his attempt at self-destruction had changed his mind and he requested that a cable be sent to his parents in Belfast.

The court said that his friends would be informed, but Noble was held without ball for the Grand Jury. the latter was In St. Vincent's Hospital, In the summer of 1909, suffering from typhoid fever. Ho swore that he called on Thompson at the hospital while he was ill and there paid him graft. Walsh was not sure what time of the year It was, but he believed it was cold weather when he called on Thompson, who, he believed, left tbe hospital in warm weather.

Dr. Carter produced the hospital records Bhowlng that Thompson was admitted to tbe hospital on June 21, 1909, and was discharged on August 4. The belief Walsh that it was cold weather when he visited Thompson was therefore discredited. Dr. Carter Bald General Physical Degeneracy Also Noted in Examinations.

Chicago, May 3 Cold bloodcdncss is a physical characteristic ot the habitual criminal, according to statistics published today in the Journal of the American Mtdical association. The temperature of murderers is found to be strikingly subnormal. Abnormally rapid pulse and respiration are found to be characteristic of the confirmed criminal. The figures were obtained from examination of more than 1,500 convicts in the Wisconsin State penitentiary. Comparisons were made with statistics of JOO.OOO average Americans examined for life insurance.

General physical degeneracy is found to stigmatize the criminal. The average convict Is three Inches below the normal In statue, light In weight and with small chest expansion. Thompson was delirious for the first nine or ten days of July. Father Lynch and Mgr. O'Hare Tes nue to the Placa and the other marchers going to Carnegie Hall, where a mass meeting will be held.

Several u-iks ago suffrage leaders brought the ot ample police protection for today's parade before Commissioner Waldo. They were assured that every precaution would be taken. With the assigning of ten patrolmen to each block alon gtho lines of march, the police are confident that they will be able to quell any disturbance that might occur. Mercury Touched 83 at Noon Today. Warm Tomorrow.

In the history of the Weather Bureau, running back more than forty years, there ia no record of another May 3 as hot as today. The mercury started on Its career as soon as the sun was up this morning. At 8 o'clock it touched 71, three degrees ahead of the record at the same hour yesterday. At noon it was 83, and there had been no previous May 3 like It, except May 3, 1878, when old Sol rang the bell at 81. The Weather man said it would lie warm tomorrow and that we would get some more on Monday.

Straw hats are coming out like debutants, and tho sad sea waves are calling. Brooklynitcs began getting their bathing suit out from under the camphor balls today, and the pictures of rolling farm lands with cherry blossoms and such thlties looked mighty attractive In the windows of the Fulton street shops. May 2 did not pass away without a record of at least one heat prostration in Brooklyn, the first of the season. Joseph Rlgonella, 26, of 556 Drlggs avenue, a laborer, fell on the sidewalk at South Fourth street and Marcy avenue, yesterday afternoon. POPE IS ACTIVE.

TRUST FUND VANISHES Lawyer in Charge Paid Interest. Concealed Loss for Years. OBITUARY NOTES Devotes Several Hours Every Day to His Work. Rome, May 3 Pope Plus continues to progress In the recovery of his health. Every day he descends to his library and devotes several hours to his work.

It is learned taht one of his first acts after he became convalescent was to appoint Dr. Andrea Amlcl his own private physician. Although Dr. Amicl is not the official Vatican physician, he shared with Professor Ettore Marchlnfava the responsibilities of caring for the Pontiff during his recent Illness. The Pontiff expressed the warmest desire today to receive Cardinal Farrata, who has Just returned from Malta, and to hear from him everything concerning the Eucharistic Congress which has just been held there.

vis.ts he paid Ills superior during th3 dismissed captain's Illness. Lieutenant "Walsh was a witness at the trial of Policeman John J. Hartlgnn, convicted of jjerjury, and now serving a term In Sing tint. By putting the Lieutenant on the stand, Talley sought to show that It was Walsh alone, and not Sweeney, who sent Harti-gan with the money that was turned over 10 Policeman Fox for the purpose of bribing Slpp. While tbe Lieutenant wan insistent that he knew it was Walsh alone who sent the bribe money to he became badly rattled under cross-examination by Mr.

Whitman. Lieutenant Walsh testilied today that when he called at the Captain's home, "Walsh instructed him to send Havtlgaa around to the house. The Lieutenant said lie left word at the station kouse and with the man on post for Hartigan to vail at the Captain's home. Mr. Whitman made a great ado over this, bringing out before the jury the failure of the witness to make mention of the fact before.

"Didn't you know that the District Attorney and the Police Commissioner wanted to get this information that ft was not Sweencv who sent Hartigan to Whitman thundered. The witness squirmed in his chair, with his face red and beads of perspiration standing out on his forehead. "1 read it in tho newspapers," Walsh enswered. "And you told nobody until you went to Mr. Talley, Sweeney's lawyer, and told him?" "I may have remarked it to "And you waited mouths to do It?" "I told Mr.

Talley on March 3." "When did you see Captain Walsh?" "On December 0." "And ho told you to tell Hartigan to Msit him?" "Yes." "To whom did you tell that?" "I told Policeman James J. McDonald." The witness declared that Talley was closing up his (the witness') father's estate, and when he happened into the lawyer's office Talley asked him about the case and he told him of the incident of Walsh requesting that Hartigan he tent around to the captain's house. He couldn't explain, however, how he never mentioned the incident before, especially when he must have known how vital It was to Hartigan, who swore that he had not been sent to Walsh by Sweeney. "And you never thought that fact of sufficient importance to tell to anybody?" "I never thought to tell nuybody until Mr. Talley asked me about it." "And out of 10,000 policemen in this city, Mr.

Talley singles you out to get this information?" "Well, he just happened to ask me and I told him." "But you didn't testify about telling Mr. Talley that when you were a witness at the Hartigan trial?" "They didn't ask me." Policeman James J. McDonald testifier! that Lieutenant Walsh instructed him to go in the captain's house, but he wasn't positive that it was on December 29, the day Lieutenant Walsh said It was. McDonald said It may have been before December 29 or alter. Miss Martha Washington Mundorf.

Har-tigan's sister-in-low. testified, however, Hiat it was on December that McDonald called to inform Hartigan to report at Captain WaJsh's home. Ex-Commissioner Martin Gives Murtha a Fine Reputation. The first character witness put on the si and by Abraham S. Gilbert, eounsel for Murtha.

was Kingsley L. Martin, vice president of the Foundation Company and former Commissioner of Bridges of New York City. Mr. Martin, who lives at Par-suns avenue and State street, Flushing, and who is one of the most celebrated engineers in the country, spoke glowingly of Murtha, characterizing him as an efficient, honest, straightforward officer, conscientious and ever faithful in the performance of his duty. Mr.

Martin said he first came In con-lact with Murtha when the incused policeman was put in command of the Brooklyn Bridge precinct. The admirable manner In which he handled the crowds on the bridge during the rush hours first attracted Mr. Martin to Murtha. He did yo splendidly, the witness said, that when the four East River bridge preciucis or bquads were made an Inspection district, Mr. Martin went to the Police Commissioner and recommended Murtha's promotion and assignment to the new bridge inspection district.

On the recommendation of Mr. Martin Murtha was promoted. "WThat is Captain Murtha's reputation for honesty and asked Mr. Gilbert. "Good," answered Mr.

Martin. "lie was a highly efficient officer." Mr. Moss objected to the latter part of the answer, and Justice Seabury ordered It stricken out. Mr. Martin then went on io tell of the effective manner In which Murtha performed his police du and under cross-examination by Assistant District Attorney Moss he stutk to the assertion that Mur'ha was honest, straightforward and conscientious.

John B. Stanchfleld. chief of counsel for Inspector Thompson, then called Dr. Charles M. Carter, who in lfiOli was house MAMIE SHARKEY McOOl.DRJt'K, wife of Peter McGoMrJck, of 27 Humboldt sireet.

Jong coned ed with the Greenwood Cemetery Corporation, died from diabetes yesterday, at his rf-Bldenee, 4-8 Seventh street. fOBITUARY "SMITH" TO SPARE PARENTS.

Out of consideration for his parents, it was learned today, John Menlce, 24 years old, of 446 Atlantic avenue, who was shot in a street car strike riot in Manhattan late yesterday, gave fictitious name when he was taken to the Hudson street hospltl with a bullet in his abdomen. When he regained consciousness in the Hudson Street Hospital, Menlce gave his name as John Smith of 4466 Atlantic avenue, and also described his assailant to the police, who, howoverfl have thus tar made no arrests. "John left here yesterday morning to go to work In Manhattan," said the boy's father, at his home, In Atlantic avenue, today. "He had been out of work for some time, and was happy at the prospect of a good job. Tho first intimation we had that anything was wrong was when a policeman from the Butler street station came here last night and told.

us that John was in the Hudson Street Hospital in a serious condition. JX was too late then for us to do anything, but his mother has gone to the hospital today." Although at first, Menice's condition was considered very serious, at the Hudson Street Hospital it was said today tnht the youth would probably recover. During the riot on the car. William Futty. of 49 South Third street, was struck over the head with the butt of a revolver.

He was In a dazed condition from the force of the blow, which cut a. deep gash in his scalp, but was not removed to the hospital. Through an affidavit filed yesterday in the Manhattan Supreme Court, before Justice Glegerlch, It became known that for the last fifteen years Walter Mead of 164 Hewes street, a Brooklyn attorney, who died on January 4, had kept secret the fact that he had lost a trust fund to $140,000 through tho payment monthly of the $400 interest out of his own pocket. The affldavV filed yesterday Is the lawyer's confesiyn. He claims that tho principal was lost through no fault of his, other than bad judgment, and that he concealed the loss in the hope that he might make the sum good without the mistake ever being discovered.

The situation became known when one of the beneficiaries of the trust fund sued for an accounting. Mead was 80 years of age, had suffered two paralytic strokes and was generally In Impaired mental condition. The trust fund waB credated by Countess Alice Thorn de Ferussac In 1SS4. It was placed in the sole care of tho attorney. Four children were the beneficiaries.

One of them, Mrs. Alice Mansfield of London, sued for the accounting. With the affidavit filed yesterday was the recommendation of a referee appointed In the case, that the estate of the dead attorney bo held for the entire amount, $140,815.33. BROOKLYN COURTS tify to Murtha's Good Character. The Rev.

Thomas F. Lynch, pastor of St. Jerome's Catholic Church in Flatbush, who officiated at Murtha's second marriage nine years ago, waB next called as a character witness by Mr. Gilbert. Father Lynch, who is Murtha's parish priest and confessor, testified that tbe policeman's general reputation was good.

"It was a terrible shock to me when 1 read of the accusation against Inspector Murtha. "Do you know of his reputation in Harlem?" asked Mr. Moss. "No," Father Lynch replied. Monsignor Patrick F.

O'Hare of St. Anthony's Church In Greenpoint, testified that Inspector Murtha, while in command of the Greenpoint inspection district, bore an excellent He was honest and faithful, said the priest, and respected by alt the people of the district. When Monsignor O'Hare was turned over to the defense for the cross examination, Mr. Moss asked: "I think we've met before?" The priest nodded in affirmative. "You were a character witness for Charles H.

Hyde, were you not?" The priest nodded again and answered, "Yes." "That is all," said Moss, bowing. Andrew McLean, Chief Engineer of Bridges. also testified as to the good character of Murtha, who he regarded as a faithful, honest and conscientious patrolman. Lieutenant John McDermott produced the blotter of the West 125th street station, and Mr. Stanchfleld showed that Thompson left on December 26.

1912, for a five day vacation. That was the period during which, as the prosecution contends, Sipp was provided with funds to keep out of the State. Further corroboration of Thompson's absenco from the city on December 26 and for five days thereafter, was furnished by Thomas McCormlck, clerk of the Liberty House at Liberty, N. who produced the hotel register showing that Thompson was registered as a guest there during that time. Sipp Was ''Sore" on Sweeney.

George Gordon Battle then called Matthew Mulverhlll, a city marshal, whose testimony tended to establish the fact that Sipp was embittered against Inspector Sweeney. Mulverhlll swore that, while serving dispossess warants. he happened Into the Central Hotel, at 116th street and Third avenue, of which Sipp was proprietor. Sipp told him, Mulverhlll swore, that he was sore on that Irish Sweeney for closing him up. Sipp, according to the witness, said that.

Sweeney let him open up and then had his men raid the place after he (Sipp) had put 1,700 into the business. "I'll get square In that Irish If I have to spend my last dollar to do It," said Sipp, according to Mulverhlll. Sipp further said, the witness went on. that he knew why he was being raided and kept closed. When Mulverhlll asked him why.

Sipp, he declared remarked. "Why, Nicholas J. Hayes has an interest In the Harlem House across the way. I know that's the reason for my being closed up." On cross-examination the witness said ANNA. P.

When John Reincken, a lad of 17, ran away fro mhome three weeks ago, his father, August, had a delicatessen store at 1303 Kings Highway, and the family also lived there. But two days after John went out adventuring, the senior Reincken sold the business and the family moved to 942 Jefferson avenue.
