The official finding in the cases of the four men makes liquor only a contributory cause. The death followed a drinking speil. Two of the men were found dead in a rooming house with gas leaking from a burner. Had they not been in deep stupor the police believe both 'would have resisted the effects of the gas, Identification is uncertain in both instances. A man who died Sunday after a period of stupor was recognized to- day as James F. Fitzgemld of Oyster |River who is thought to have a brother in Ansonia. The fourth man was lying in the road and an automobile ran over him, HUNDREDS AT FUNERAL OF WILLIA St. Joseph’s Church Crowd- ed With Mourners at Obsequies Today Hundreds of frieuds attended the funeral services conducted at 10 o'clock this morning at St, Joseph's chureh for former Postmaster William .

The use of natural gas at Kelly fleld makes it possible to inflate the | bags in a short time and because of this, Lieutenant Kchos predicted that new Amerjean and possibly world records would be broken, He ex- plained that the lifting power of the big bag is always greatest imme. diately after inflation, since the gas gradually weakens as time elapses, The greater lifting power, he sald, enables the pilot to take on more ballast and therein lies the secret of the winner, More ballast means a longer flight, and if properly han. dled, a greater distance. ardons T The gas will be mixed with hydro- gen and gotting the exact proportions and doing it safely, is a hazardous task, Lieutenant Kehoe said.

The principal controversy centered the amendment for inclusion in the bLill of a cash option provision of- fered by Senator Copeland, democrat, New York. A motion of Senator Walsh, Massa- chusetts, to make the $50 cash pay- ments allowed by the bill imme- diately payable was agreed to. The committee measure would have made these payments available nine months after enactment of the law. Underwood Opposes, Opening the debate today Senator Underwood, democrat, Alabama, re- newed the attack against the bonus, He advocated a pension law but de- clared it impossible to compensate the former soldiers for thelr service. “You dishonor these protectors of our nation by offering them dirty dol- lars,” Mr, Underwood said, “or by | proposing to give them these insur- ance policies, “The man who fought on the first line of battle will have to carry this country in the next twenty years, You very eunningly fixed this bonus so that it won't be paid for twenty years and propose that these men instead of you will have to pay for it, “You're adding under this legisla- tion an enormous tax to an already heavy burden, The authors disagree as to the cost of the bill. One esti- mate says it will cost $2,300,000,000, The treasury actuary, Mr. MeCoy, says it will cost $3,600,000,000 and the treasury is probably right,” “A price must be paid for every. thing worth having,” Senator Under wood said. *“That is true of govern- ment—the most essential factor in civlization.
