WHITE PLAINS, N, Y., Jan, 16.— Se much opposition has developed | § against the proposition to spend $1,200,000 for a new county hospital | for the poor at East View that the Westchester County Board of Super- vieors has postponed action for one| & week. The Supervisors held @ sec- ond public hearing yesterday, at which opposition developed, At the first hearing John D. Rocko- feller jr, sent a letter to Chairman Charles D, Willard in which he stated that his father and himself favored the erection of the new hospital. Many other Westchoster wealthy men hhave indorsed the proposition. In Yonkers, however, the taxpayers contend they’ will have to stand the | fl biggest burden of the extra taxation The general opposition was based on | the assertion that the war has caused the price of materials and labor to increase 100 per cent, —— KILLS SELF AFTER QUARREL.| B Clerk Summoned Found Dead by John Matthews, a cl pinitted suicide thirty-five | by Inhalin y gas early to in his home at No. | 497 Ninth Ave His wife, who had | summoned bit appear in the Do. t to-day as a re- esterday, smelled iceman, The 1 Was forced nd on the bed. 1 and what Tam . your husband, Gas Stove Kills Aged Woman, As Mrs, Dora Kaicke md, of No, 1025 turned from lighting her bedroom last night, the stove and caught fir ter, Mrs. Lela Goehring, hi the next room and ra | ; | YONKERS PEOPLE FIGHT | from put out the fire, which w Palied Dr. Max ‘Unger, who fe Kaicke dead, Her exte slight, but she had apparently Inhaled flame, and that, combined with |i age and shock, was fatal | | COLLEGE HEADS OPPOSE ARMY TRAINING FOR BOYS Might as Learn WASHINGTON, American is vice.
