New York World Prints Story of Senator’s Finiances ¥ Wew York World today, in & special dispatch from Washington, printed the following details as to the financial affairs of the Irte Sen« ator Brandegee: “According to friends of the late Senator Frank B. Brandegee of Con- necticut, his Nabllities at the time of his death by’ sulelde were fin excess of $1,000,000, with the exact amount unlikely ‘ever to become known because of the desire of some holders and indorsers of his paper to escape publicity by pocketing thelr losses. ¥ “The amount of Brandegee paper in the hands of banks, secured by real estate or other collateral, is quite large, but those close to him say the amount held by wealthy friends in and out of pubic life or indorsed {s much larger, in some in- stances exceeding $100,000, Turned Down by Friends. It is also stated by friends of Brandegee that when his troubles became most pressing, his appeals for help to wealthy Connecticut men, who had been the recipients of favors at his hands, met with re- fusals, ) “He was, one of his friends said today, ‘turned down cold by men who by all rules of the game should have helped.” The senator’s notes are sald to be scattered through the house and senate, with a member of the lower house and, a former senator, now resident in Washington, the largest Josers, It was when these felt they could go no farther that his finan- clal situation became critical. All Realty Encumbered. “A préliminary survey of the sen- ator’s affairs discloses that his I street home, where he lived almost a recluse and took his life by inhaling gas, stands in the name of a local bank under a loan of $150,000. It also appears that hé owned but lit- tle real estate in Washington, all of which was mortgaged. Fis hold- ings of 1,000 acres in Montgomery County, Md., are also said to be heavily encumbered. “Some of the senator's ‘intimate friends say he had occasionally re- marked in a casual way that he in- tended to take his own life when he believed his end to be near. He dreaded lliness and incapacity and felt suicide would offer a logical escape. This, his friends say, was a part of his philosophy. “They are convinced that a com- bination of financial difficulties, fail- ing health with dread of cancer, from which his sister died, and melancholy induced by bis solitary mode of life led him to kill him- self.” HITGH OCCURS 1N RECOGHITION PLAN French Cabinet Does Not Act on Russian Question Paris, Oct. 17—The failure of the cabinet, after today's meeting, to announce de jure recognition of the soviet government of Russia, which had been expected following the fa- vorable recommendation yesterday of the specail committee on Franco- Russian relations gave rise to the suggestion that there was stme hiteh in the plan to accord recog- nition but government circles in- sisted that recognition was a fore- gone conclusion and that any delay was due only to sqme detail of the form of the step to be taken. The ministers had before them today for discussion the special com- mittee’s report and in official cir~ cies it was taken for granted that the matter must have been discussed although no mention of it was made in the official announcement follow- ing the meeting. Premier Herriot, it was . said, would announce the decision in the near future.

Contains no nar- |in 1866 and lived at different times By Supt, Holmes After many adjourned meetings, deadlocks and debates over the cholce of a school site In the east end, the committee on school ac- commodations decided at its meeting In the Walnut Hill school last night to begin all over again and take an- other survey of that section of the clty, The Pleasant Manor site, which was favorably acted upon by the school board several .weeks ago, proved unsatisfactory to many of the members, called forth an objec- tion from Mayor A, M, Paonessa, and, . s a clinching argument against its purchase, becamg totdlly unavall- able through the expiration of op- tions on several of the lots and their sele to other parties. The Lincoln Realty Co. cannot deliver these lots now, and the Smith-D'Angelo tract, the only alternative hitherto consid- ered, has also been the object of eriticism, The mayor was presentgat yester- day's meeting, having been invited to further explain the stand he took in a recent letter addressed to the board, in which he placed himself on record as opposed to both sites un- der conslderation. He told the com- mittee that a better location could be found farther south, below Kel- sey street, pointing out that a suit- able site could be obtalned near Stanley -and Ellis streets, There al- ready is one school on East street, he said, and he claimed that the site he mentioned was more logical. The enlargement of- the Smith school to cope with the Increased number of children in the district was also con- sidered, but no action was taken on it. Superintendent 8. H. Holmes was authorized to make a survey of the southeastern section bf the city to obtain data on the school population there, and until this tsurvey is com- pleted, the committee will take no further action.
