HELD GAS TUBE ' IN ONE JJAND Senator’s Secretary Says He Found Body When At tracted .to Third Floor of House by Gas Odor. IBy the Associated Prow.) 'Washington, Oct. 14. —Senator Frank Bramlegee, of Connecticut, for years one of the Republican leaders in Congress, was found dead at his home here today , under circumstances which convince por lice officials that he bad- committed sui cide. His body was discovered in the bath room on the third floor of the house, and those who made the discovery were quot ed by the police as saying that the dead man still held in his hand a rubber tnbe which was attached to an open gas jet. Physicians said he had been dead since before daylight, but a specfiic announce ment of the cause of his death was with held pending a coroner’s investigation. The sixty-year-old senator was a bach elor and lived alone. The body was found by W. G. Lundy, his secretary, who told the police he was attracted to the third floor by the odor of gas upon his arrival at the house this morning. Senator Brandegee was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and one I of the Republican leaders on the foreign relations committee. A close personal and political friend of Senator Lodge, the Republican floor leader, he has been one of the circle of senators who have had most to say in the conduct of Sen ate affairs since the Republicans re gained a majority in Congress. A native of New London, where he maintained his home until his death, Senator Brandegee had risen to promi nence through a succession of minor of fices. including the United States attor neyship of his home district, the speak ership of the Connecticut r»« uai.tie., vuo mm fTonal House of Representative*. He had been in the Senate for almost 20 years. The most consipcuous part played' by Mr. Brandegee in recent years was in the League <)f Nations flight. Taking a po sition from the start with the irrecon ciliable opponents of the Versailles treaty, lie threw th.e- powerful weight of his forensic ability against the treaty and league covenant during, the long Senate debate and later at the Republican con vention in 11120 was one of those- who laid before party leaders a virtual threat to leave the ranks of Republicanism un less the* national platform upheld the Republican senator opposed to ratifica tion. During the past session of Congress the senator was not active on the floor. His health had begun to show the effects . of his years. Committed Suicide. Washington, Oct. 14.—Senator Brande gee, of Connecticut, committed suicide at . his home here today. Worried and dis tracted, his friends said, over financial difficulties, he went to an unsued bath room on the third' floor of his house and just before dawn took his own life by ; inhaling gas. He left in his bedroom below a note to his chauffeur telling him where the body would be found. He was a bach elor and for years had lived alone. The note gave no motive. A verdict of sui cide was refurned by the coroner after he and the police had made a complete investigation. . Pinned to the note was a SIOO bill for the chauffeur and two others for Emma and Rufus Kenney, negro servants of Mr. Brandegee. The is George Jones. , The senator was last seen alive by Jones and W. D. Lundy, his secretary, yesterday. At that time he went for a ride about the city and Jones said he appeared to be in the best of spirits and health. Senator Brandegee had no liv ifig immediate relatives. Mr. Lundy took charges of funeral plans nnd an nounced burial probably would be in New London, Conn. Although he once was a comparatively rich man, his friends said today he had suffered heavy losses in recent years. He was a lawyer by profession but for some time had bwn *, heavily interested in real estate. Says Financial Reasons Caused Act. New York, Oct. 14.—Secretary of War John W.

The parade is to start promptly at 10 o’clock on Tuesday, the at the Cor bin Street school. The line of march shortly after nine. Starting from Cor bin Street the line will move through the business part of the city and on over a number of the principal streets. Merchants in the city ware at firet 'apathetic about the parade and were a tittle slow in agreeing to have floats.

LIFE SAFER IN CHINA THAN HERE World War, the Auto, Igno rance and Laxity of Courts Some Reasons Given For the Increase. [ Declaring that life and property are safer in China an<f*Turkey than they arc in the United States, Judge A. M. Stack, in his charge to the grand jury for the term of Cabarrus Superior Court which convened here Monday, made a forceful and eloquent plea for “united" action to stop lawlessness in tile United Staies. “Final authority in the matter rests with the people themselves." Judge Stack declared, emphasizing that officers and the courts can do nothing without the support of the people. “Something must be done to stop the saturnalia of crimp that threatens America,’’ Judge Stack added. The increase of crime in the United States Judge Stack described as “appall ing." pointing out that no one cause was responsible for present conditions," but that the World War was one of the un derlying causes. The war, Judge Stack said, “brutalized the mind, upset society and seered the consciences of many, “be efluse it taught many Americans to kill and confiscate' property tinder conditions that seemed all right. “I am no pessimist, no alarmist,” Judge Stack said, “but something must be done. We must take time to think. "The World War is one cause of pres ent conditions." Judge Stack continuer, "and the auto is another. The man who is criminally inclined finds the auto a great aid in making his getaway. The auto has increased immorality, prostitu tion aud other (Times, including fraud. It has made many people live above their means and they have to resort to <‘rime to make ends meet. * “One of Hie principal -onuses ce-nneefr taility of punishment in the courts.

I have no criticism of the present Governor/or others who preceded him, but at present the Governor is the court of last resort, he is the Su preme Court so far us the erimiual is concerned. When I started practicing law a pardon was a rare thing. Now they are circulating when a prisoner is con victed even of some misdemeanor. “It takes too long to get a prisoner con victed and punished. Wc must wake up. ,And who is responsible for the increase in crime? The ignorant, the idle and the lazy. The more we educate the less crime we have, for the sensible, man will not violate the law. for violation never pays. Unemployment al.to makes men drift to crime “ One of the saddest things in life is to see an able-bodied man stealing because he is too lazy to work. Too many men are non-producers. “The increase includes the more seri ous crimes such as burglary, highway robbery and murder. In Chicago in a' year we have more homicides than in England and Wales combined. Why? Because in those countries the. murderer is convicted. » "In North Carolina last year we had 360 homicides—one for every day in the year. Figures from my judicial district iudicate that the number this year will be in excess of last year’s total. Life is safer in China than it is in the United States. “In China the Christian nations de manded that they be given a voice in the courts so they could reduce lawless ness there and better serve as protectors to their subjects: Why do we show more interest in this matter in China aud other foreign countries than we do at home? “In tin; matter of law. enforcement there is one model country—England. The criminal there is punished and right, away. An American doctor recently went to England where lie mifrdered his wife. In a few days lie was convicted and hung. If the murder had beeu commit ted in the United States his iloctor would be in California practicing medicine with Dr. Peacock. “I repeat, all crime is on the increase. If for no other reason than selfishness, a desire to protect ourselves, we should wake up, “What are we going to do? Who is going to do it? The blame must be laid to the door of the people themsel ves. The people can stop this lawless ness. If the officers don’t perform their duties the people can turn them out and elect new ones., The trouble is the peo ple are hot backing up the officers.

(ajU Chester Masslich, of York, a bond attorney, refused to approve the bonds, so the railroad informed a repre sentative of the city that the station would not be built that way but that the Southern would of its own account build a station. There is anxiety now that the South ern will not want to build such 'a-fine station. An underpass was contemplat ed in the undertaking- There is a dis position ISt to hrdd th».

So long as they are let alone they are satisfied. The people must be aroused to the duty they owe one an other. They must be aroused to the ques tioii of obedience and enforcement of the laws. Public sentiment must be united. We must agree to oppose all law viola tions. “Something must be done to stop this saturnalia of crime. We must be arous ed to the gravity of the situation. Nine ty-nine per cent, of the people believe in the law, but they stop there. There is too much belief and not enough action. “We must have intelligent jurors, men who can understand when the law has been violated and who have the manhood to back their convictions with sentences of 'guilty.' If crime is punished law lessness will soon be .halted." \ In conclusion Judge Stack appealed for a Legislature in the State that “will not legalize another crime in North Caro lina.” \ WHAT BMITTY'S WEATHER CAT HAYS [Tv JA* *■ v. v .y ' jNy-dj glggPßiggga, 1 T ' Fif t 'ht khd Wed„«d- ■ ItOt l change in^empwatufe.
