Bridgeport, April 28.—Coroner John J. Phelan today filed his findings on the death of Arthur Hearn Cowl of New York, wnich occurred at a hos- pital here Monday night from a bullet wound in the head. The coroner says that the wound was self-inflicted by Cowl at the home of Arthur De For- est Wheeler, in stratford, where he had gone to call on Miss Emily Whee- ! ler, In his investigation, the find- ing says, the coraner learned that a ribbon which was tied to the trig- ger of the revolver would not in any manner have caused the revolver to be fired. In his belief the death of Cowl was caused by his own sui- cidal act and that Miss Wheeler, to whom Cowl was engaged, did not in any way figure in the tragic death of lover. Miss Wheeler might have pulled the ribbon, the coroner said, but the pulling of the ribbon would not have caused the discharge of the ! revolver. When questioned by the coroner this morning, Miss Wheeler said that |the engagement between herself and Cowl had never been broken and that reports ta the contrary were wrong. Medical Examiner Garlick’s report, filed with Coroner Phelan today, said that death was the result of the sui- cidal act of Cowl, and that he was probably mentally deranged at the time. This opinion is shared by the coraner, INDICTMENTS RETURNED AGAINST CHICAGO MEN Labor Union Officials, Con- tractors and Two Alleged Trusts Incrnmmated Chicago, April .—The cighteen officials of labor unions, eighty-two contractors and contracting firms and j two alleged trusts indict- ments returned in the United States district court yesterday, charging vio- lation of the Sherman anti-trust act and interstate commerce law, were expected to appear today to give bond in $10,000 for each indictment in Wwhich their names appear. If those indicated do not respond within a few days, it was announced by the court, capiases will be issued. The charges in each of the eight in- dictments are conspiracy to strain trade, combination in restraint of trade, interfering with interestate commerce and restraining interstate | commerce, The labor leaders were | charged with having prevented union workmen from unloading or handling goGds shipped from outside the state, because of alleged disputes with the concerns to which the goods were consigned. The indictments charge that asso- ciations have been formed here for the purpose of boycotting goods, in named in Chicago;, The labor leaders, it was alleged, had agreed not to permit their men to work on jobs where ma- terial manufactured outside of Chi- | cago was being used And the con- | tractors agreed, it was charged, to | employ only workmen who were mem- bers of the union which belonged to the association. Officials of the Chi- cago Lighting and Fixture associa- tion and the Chicago Switchboard Manufacturers’ association were named in two indictments. Many { electrical contractors also were in- | cluded in the list. The investigation year ago. was started a DEMOCRATS PARTED SELVES FROM $50 That Was Total of Expenses for Mu- | { : nicipal Campaign—Back Bills | Have Been Paid Up.

Mr. Hyde's reference to more sessions is thought to forecast Monday sittings. The house passed in concurrence | the Hartford equalization of wards bill to permit de-districting for election purposes. Bills Favorably Favorable reports were biils creating a finance board in Shel- i16n; permitting towns to adopt ordi- uances for promoting health: and the recommendation of $20,000 for sup- pression of farcy and glanders was <ent to the appropriations committee, as was the bil to give aid to the agri- cural interests in conformity to tha Smith-Lever bill' passed by congress.

After fur- | ther debate the motion of Mr. Tris- tram of Norwalk to indefinitely posi- pone was carried. ¥rench of Hall Caught Napping. Mr. Hall ‘of Plainfield asked that the bill to revise the statutes, passcdl vesterday, be taken from the table. Mr. Eaton said the bill was a good one and he was sorry that Mr. Hall had changed his mind over night. Re- vision is demanded both by lawycrs and by citizens who use the statute Mr. Hall replied that he was hall asleep when the bill went through. He was caught napping, and had been ashamed of himsef all night. Pas- sage of the bill left a bad taste in hiz | mouth, and he had found that other members felt the same way. The bill was in the interest of lawyers. The sentiment of the people is against the | expenditure especially by a legislature which is preaching econom Mr. Hyde said the bill received the required consideration. It had been ! the practice of the state to revise the | statutes at stated periods. ston laws are now half the size of the 19¢2 re on.

Mr. Hyde knew of no such offer. Mr. Martin of Orange said re- vision could not be and should not be done by students. The revision will | be worth all it costs. Mr. Hall's mo- tion was lost, which was equivalent to a refusal to reconsider.

Senator Hewitt offered un | amendment correcting a number of errors in the bill, and this was adopt- ed.
