DEATH CLAIMS WOMAN AS JOY RIDE ENDS roses carnival 26 and 217. Woman Killed When Auto Hits Bridge in New Haven Identified As Clara Huot of Waterbury. New Haven, April 25—The woman who died at the New Haven hospital today from injuries received in an automobile accident last night in which Lawrence Hayes of Naugatuck was killed, was Clara Huot of 8 Win- chester avenue, Waterbury. She was 356 years of age. Identification was made by a sister who lives in Water- bury. At the time the woman was taken into the hospital the only name she gave was that of ‘“Clara.” The two men who escaped practically unhurt from the wreck of the machine said they did not know her name. Mrs. Huot is said to have lived apart from her husband who is in Buffalo, N. Y. The car, driven by Leonard Joy of Naugatuck, and containing in addi- tion to the passengers now dead, Miss Margaret Talbott and Daniel King, both of Naugatuck, was speeding from ‘Waterbury to this city. At a bridge, it is said, the driver lost control and the car dashed into one of the abut- ments, crumpled up and overturned, Miss Talbot is at the New Haven hospital cut and bruised but not seri- ously hurt. Joy and King escaped practically uninjured. Joy is held by the Hamden authori- ties pending investigation. King who returned by trolley to Waterbury after the accident, is understood to have been taken in charge by the police there. Coroner Mix began an investigation. Waterbury, April 25—The woman known as “Clara,” who died in a New Haven hospital early this morn- ing as a result of injuries received in the fatal automobile accident at Ham- den last night, has been identified as Mrs. Oswald J. Huot. Her husband left Waterbury last week to take a position in Buffalo, N. Y. and Mrs. Huot had since been living with her | mother, Mrs. Henry Honegger of 8 Winchester avenue.

Fe was arrested on the out- skirts of thi local policemen, 'who acted under instructions from the Hamden authorities. e will be held as a material witness pending | the investigation by Coroner Mix. DEOCRATS PLAN T0 SMASH FILIBUSTER Administration Program to Go Through Despite Tac- tics of G. O. P. Washington, April 25—Democratic leaders of the house, who charge the republicans with conducting a “fil- ibuster”” to delay action on the ad- ministration legislative program, were determined today to put the slate through without further delay with the ald of special rules. This move was decided upon as a result of the success yesterday of Rep. Mann of Tllinoi the minority leader, in preventing the army bill as amended by the senate from being sent to conference. The house rules committee was prepared today to bring in a rule to discharge the military committee from further consideration on the bill and providing for the appoint- ment of house conferees after debate a motion to recommit. Debate the republicans objected in case each side was to be given twenty minutes. The democrats also plan to take up, immediately after the agricultural bill is out of the way, the Philippine, Porto Rican and shipping bills, under drastic rules limiting debate on each of the measures. The Philippine bill will be the sub- ject of a caucus of house democrats on a date yet to be decided upon. only CUMMINGS NOT OUT FOR CHAIRMANSHIP TUnder No Consideration Would He Succeed Willlam F. McCombs as Head of Democrats, Stamford, April 25.—Homer S. Cummings of this city, democratic national committeeman for Connecti- cut, said today that under no circum- stances was he to be considered a can- didate for the chairmanship of the democratic _ national committee. Chairman William McCombs yester- day sent to President Wilson a letter stating his wish not to continue as chairman after the close of the demo- cratic national convention in June, and Mr. Cummings had been mentioned as a possible successor. Mr. Cummings returned today from a three weeks' trip in the south and a visit to Washington. He said: “Chairman McCombs has not resigned. He has merely indicated that he is not a candidate for re-election. One can scarcely blame him for taking that at- titude. I know of no other position so exacting as the chairmanship of the national committee of either of the great political parties. It is a place of peculiar significance in Amer- ican politics and requires a special tion. the endurance Moreover the mere strain upon is enough to tax the vitality of any man to the danger point. .No one familiar with the duties of the position could any pos- sibility covet the appointment. “Under no circumstances am I to be considered a candidate for the chairmanship. The new chairman will be chosen by the incoming na- tional committee, which will solicit the suggestions of Mr. Wilson, and if he has any to make will undoubtedly act upon them. Whatever action is taken will be unanimous and after careful deliberation.” ST. MARK’S CHURCH NOTE The Alpha Alpha Pi society will hold a banquet tomorrow night in honor of the return of Rector H. I. Bodley and as a farewell to Willinm Anderson, who recently resigned as organist. Walter Hirst, who wiil succeed Mr. Anderson, is also expect- ed to be present.

MORE RHEUMATISM THAN EVER BEFORE Clergymen, Lawyers, Brokers, Me- chanics and Merchants Striken. Our old friend Rheumatiz is having his inning this year, and a few words of caution from one who knows all about it may not be amiss, ‘Wear rubbers in damp weather; keep your feet dry; drink plenty of lemonade, and avoid strong alcoholic drinks. If rheumatism gets you, or sciati and you have sharp twinges, grawing prain or swollen joints or muscles, you can get rid of all agony in just a few days by taking one-half teaspoonful of Rheuma once a day.
