Upon investigation he found the four men who occupied the room dead, the victims of gas escaping from a jet in the room, The men were his son, Michael Bindas, 18 years old; Michael Ganot- sky, 19; Peter Maxen, 35; and Stefan Glisciak, 50 years of age. Believe Roomer Blew Out Gas It had been the custom of the men to sleep in a small room approxi- mately eight by 12 feet. They oc- cupled two beds, Formerly light was furnished by candle, but of late gas was installed. It was thought that the last man to enter the room, Glisclak, reverted to his old habit and blew out the gas. He was be- lieved to be the last onc to die be- cause his body was still warm when the bodies were discovared. No heart beats could be detected in Glisclak’s body when the police pulmotor was applied. Peter Bindas worked steadily for a half an hour trying to bring life back to the body of his son. When Mrs. Bindas saw her son she fainted and was carried from the room. Firemen across the street came at the call of Bindas and opened the windows, which, throughout the night had been closed tight. Police- men Lyon, Massey, and Carlson were sent to the home by Lieutenant Rival. Several physiclans were called by the police and relatives of the men but all efforts falled to re- viva any of the four. Dr. John Purney, deputy medical examiner, viegnd the remains and gave per- mission to Laraia & Bagarino to re- pare the bodies of Mazen, Bindas, and Ganotasky for burial and to Frank P. Duffy to prepare the Glis- clak body for burial. Retired At Different Hours The men went to bed at different hours, according to Peter Bindas. Peter Maxen retired at 10 o'clock. The two boys, Michael Bindas and Michael Granotasky, slept together in one of the beds. They retired about midnight and Stefan went to bed nearly an hour later. Peter said he and Glisclak had had a few drinks before the latter retired. There are several theories ad- wanced for the cause of the escaping gas. It was thought that Glisciak had either blown out the gas, heav- ing the jet wide open or that he had improperly turned off the jet. The room was filled with gas a week or two ago. Previously the men had (Continued on Page 14) COLLYER AND TUCKER DIE IN PLANE GRASH “Yankee Doodle” Smashed to Bits Against Arizona Mountains Prescott, Ariz, Nov. 5 @ — A famed triumvirate of the air—two noted air speedsters and a fleet lit- tle champion of the upper reaches —has written its last entry on the pages of aviation history in a bold record challenge which ended abruptly aegainst a sheer Arizona mountain cliff. Death penned the final report of the courageous attempt of Captain C. B. D. Collyer to flash to a new west to east transcontinental non- stop record in the trim Yankee Doodle, with Harry Tucker, the plane’s owner, riding as & passen- er. 2 The broken bodies of the two men, Collyer a co-holder of the around-the-world travel record, and Tucker, a record holder with his proud little air whippet of both east-west and west-east transconti- nental records, were brought into Prescott on pack burrows today. Letters in their pockets were need- ed to establish the men's identities. Nothing was left to salvage, in- deed hardly enough was left to identify, of the Lockheed-Vega which thundered into the side of Crook Canyon, 23 miles south of here. Mist and rain, the nemesis of many another birdman, overtook the plane in a most dangerous part of this route and together with mo- tor trouble undoubtedly caused the crash. Collyer and Tucker apparently died instantly, though there was mute evidence they made a last mo- ment effort to use their parachutes to desert their prized ship. Their parachutes were open, but landing (Coatinucd on Page Four), tic JOSEFH E. STONE Joseph E.

Gambler Shot in Abdomen; Won't Namer Assailant T0 (QUESTION M’MANUS Detectives Claim Shooting Occurred in Park Central Hotel—Gambler Sald to Have Been “Marked Man” New York, Nov. 5 (/) — Beeking an explanation of the mysterious shooting of Arnold Rothstein, gambler and race track follower, police announced today they want- ed to question George “Hump"” Mc- Manus, reputed to be a Broadway card game operator. No charge has been lodged against McManus, but police started an intensive search for him. In Serfous Condition Rothstein, in a serious condition in Polyclinic hospital with a bullet wound in his abdomen, gave the police no aid in their search for his assailants. Detectives, however, sald they had learned he was shot in a room of the Park Central hotel alleged to have been occupied by McManus. Rothstein, they said, left a restau- rant on Broadway near Fiftieth street and went to the hotel room in response to a telephone message a short time before the shooting. Was Marked Man It has been common Broadway gossip, police said, that Rothstein had been a “marked” man for some months and more recently because he had “welched” on a large gamb- ling loss in a poker game, At Becker Trial Rothstein first came into promi- nence at the trial of Charles Beck- er, former police lieutenant, who ‘was convicted of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, prominent gambler, and executed in Sing Sing prison. Rothstein and several other well known gamblers were ques- tioned at the same time, defense attorneys charging that Becker had been framed by certain gambling interests which they said were re- sponsible for the killing. Fixed World's Series Suggestions that Rothstein “fixed"” jthe world's series of 1919 took defi- nite form when he was charged by Ban Johnson, then president of the American league, with paying $10,- 000 for stolen confessions of indict- ed Chicago White Sox players. He was indicted in 1924 by a federal grand jury on a charge of being an accomplice in concealment of a high priced automobile of E. M. Fuller, head of the bankrupt brokerage firm of E. M. Fuller and company. Ful- ler testified that he had lost $331,000 to Rothstein in bets in baseball games, horse races and other sport- ing events. He has been credited with owning gambling houses in Saratoga and elsewhere. 46 Yecars Old Rothstein gave his age as 46 years and his occupation as real estate agent. His wife arrived at the heés- pital to see him in a Rolls Royce. His home is on Fifth avenue, fac- ing Central park. Last year he said he had quit the gambling business forever and would devote his time to his interest in a racetrack and realty development, brokerage in- surance and several other lines. He | was first an office boy in his fath- er's cotton goods business and later ‘was known as a pool sharp.

While the amount named in the warrant was only $134, Pilisbury in- dicated that the discrepancies might total $1000. He promised to make full restitution, however, as soon as an audit had established the deficit. The arrest of Pillsbury, chairman of the Manchester republican city committee and & member of the re- publican state committee, almost on election eve, caused a stir in New Hampshire political circles.

Lambert, aluminum ware salesman and former newspa- perman, on the circumstances al- recady uncovered, the police today pushed their !mrch for evidence which will either definitely link Lambert with the slayiug of Miss Olgo Bayes, young Ansonia steno- grapher, or eliminate him. Today the charred remains of a whiskbroom found in Lambert's stove are being examined. The broom which is of the type general- ly sold to automobile owners has several dark red stains on it and they are being chemically analyzed. Yesterday the rock with which Miss Bayes was struck on the head on the night of October 25, was given to Joseph Faurot, New York city police department fingerprint expert for examination but he was unable to get any satisfactory prints from it nor from any of Miss Bayes' effects. Several prints however were taken from the glass in the doors of Lambert’s car but the police expect that they will prove to be Lambert's. Although one of Lambert’s attorneys has announced that he will start habeas corpus proceedings unless the police release his client soon, Lambert has expressed willingness to remain in custody until the au- thorities have satisficd themselves that he is not the man who com- mitted the fatul assault on the Bayes girl after giving her a short ride in an automobile.

Ending his quest for the preei- dency where he began it nearly three months ago, the nominee, after his arrival at his home at Palo Alto, will deliver his last message to the country before the election tomorrow. This will be a non-partisan appeal | to the voters to exercise their right of citizenship at the polls. It will be deliverad from his study at 6:45 p. m.

Six weeks of strenuous speech- making in almost every section qtf the nation were behind the demo- cratic presidential nominee and all that stood in his way en route to the ballot box tomorrow at mnoon were two eleventh-hour appeals to the electorate from a radio broad- casting studio.

Speaking over & coast-to-coast radio hookup from a studio of the National Broadcasting company the democratic presidential nominee again affirmed his belief that tomor- row's election would return him vice torious in this campaign of came paigns and asserted the “industrial east joins with the agricultural west in its desire for a restoration of {democratic government.

It only remains for the votes to be cast and counted. ‘Tuesday will see the greatest out- pouring of American voters in his- tory. Election officials will be heavily taxed in most places. The count may be late in coming in from many localities for this reason, although it may be that the results will be known before midnight Tuesday.

This election will not only decide who _is to be president and vice P ent, but an entirely new house of representatives at Washington is. to be elected. One-third of the seats in the United States senate must be fllled. Thirty-four states will elect governors. Many states will choose new legislatures and state and county officiais.
