DEATH OF FRANELIN K. LANE CAUSED BY ANGINA PECTORIS Rochester, Minn., May 18.—Franklin K. Lane, former secretary of the inter- jor, died at a local hospital here early this morning.

Lane came as a peculiar shock today to the national's capital, for So many Years even more his home than his chosen place of resi- dence in California. There were mani- festations of grief in every department of the government from the president to the messenugers in the interior depart- ment who had known so long the kindly, humorous. but efficient public servant. Messages of sympathy went to Mrs. Lane from the president ard Mrs. Hard- ing, former President Wilson and scores of others high in national and diplomatic lite. The message from the president and Mrs. Harding follows: “I have just learned of the death of cour distinguished husband and am wir- ing to expres smy very great shock and my exceedingly deep sorrow over his un- timely passing. He was an outstanding American who rendered most distin- guished service to his country and found an abiding place in the affections of all who knew him well. Mrs. Harding joins me in an expressjon of most sym- pathetic condolencs Former President Wilson also sent a| message of condolence to Mrs. Lane which was not made public. Mr. Wilson did not make public what he had said to Mrs. Lane of the man who steod by him in his cabinet for seven years. The blow fell most sharp- ly at the home here of Mrs. Phillip C. Kauffman, his only daughter. To some of the former secretary’s most intimate friends here there had come before his death a remarkable mes- sage dictated by him in the hospital at Rochester, Minn., after the operation Which preceded his death by only a few days. - The message showed that the eration with full consciousness and ac- ceptance of the fact that he might not survive. 1t told in detail of his sensa- tion, of which he was fully conscious as the condition of his heart would not permit the uge of a general anaesthetic. The message closes as follows: “For two days I had knowledge that fhis operation wax to-take place at !'h‘l time and my nerves had not been Just % zood as they should have been.

Hartford, May 18.—Senator Trumbull, chairman of the committee on finance in the semate today explained the bill for a tax of one cent a gallon on gasoline, benzol or other products used in propell- ing motor vehicles and boats. It pro- vides that dealers in gasoline, etc., shall furnish returns of their sales to the mo- tor vehicle commissioner. The penalty for violating the law is a minimum fine of $200 and a maximum fine of . Senator Butler said he would vote for the bill under protest. It was a revenue measure. The bill and another one were the last straws which the automobilists could stand. Senator Brooks described the bill as class legislation. There was already a license law for the sale of gasoline in this state. He asked if the bill exempt- ed kerosene. Senator Trumbull said he did not know that kerosene was classed as a combustible fluid. The committee had eliminated kerosene from the bill. He admitted that perhaps the bill was not 100 per cent. perfect. It was practically impossible to have a bill 100 per cent. perfect, The bill was workable and prac- ticable. It would raise revenue to the amount of $750,000 to $1,000,000 a vear. Senator Brooks said the automobilists of the state would pay one-third of the revenue of the state under the laws for their taxation. They would pay $8.000,- 000 or §9,000,000 a year in addition (o local taxes Senator Trumbull said it would be difficult to regulate the use of gasoline used in tractors, but he did not think there would be many instances of the evasion of the law. Senator W. H. Hall said that each car Wwould use about 452 gallons of gasoline in the year. He not think the reve- nue from the tax would amount to more than $450,000 a year. All the revenue should go into the state treasury to be used in_ accordance with the appropria- tiong made by the general assembly. The present practice is to create a stem of bookkeeping that was puzzling. The state was making an effort to have a less complicated system of book- keeping, but it was impossible to secure that when money derived from taxation was given to the highway department without going through the state treas- ury He objected to the clause which appropriated 80 per cent. of the revenue from the proposed tax to the highway department. Senator Trumbull said that he agreed with Senator Hall that all moneys re- celved by the state should go into the state treasury, and he did not, believe In special accounts. But it was neces- sary to include the 80 per cent. prov jon in the bill. If the %0 per cent. sec- on were eliminated it would look as it tha committee broke faith with those Who now support it. Senator Hall suggested that the bill be tabled until Senator Trumbull had an opportunity to confer with the governor on ‘tHa matter. Senator Trumhull Had na objestion to the tabling of the bill, and moved that it ba tabled The bill was tabled. SENATE. The committee on cities and boroughs in the senate today reported favorably on a substitute bill concerning p grounds and neighborhood recreation centers. It provides that “any two or more cities or boroush or towns or any city, borough or town may jointly ac- quire property for, operate and maintain playgraunds, play fields, gymnasfums, public baths, swimming pools or indoor recreation centers. Any town school committee shall have power to join with any city or borough' in equipping. op ating and maintaining play grounds, play fields, gymnasiums, public Dbath: swimming pools and indoor recreation centers.” The bill was tabled for calen- dar.

Connecticut Industrial chool for Girls for maintenance, and also a bill providing for the expense of maintenance of pupils at the Mystic Oral school, subject to the orders of the hoard of control.
