sENATE's ATTITUDE RESENTED
House Committees Action on Light
house and Similar Bills.

The House committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce has decided to hurl de-
nance at the Senate in connection with all
lighthouse measures and similar bills which
must be passed on by the committee. 1t
has been the practice of the House to frame
these measures in such a way that sum
of money not specified but not to exceed
certain amount, Is to be used for the par
toular improvement. The Senate invaria-
bly, has changed such bills so they appro-
pirate a fixed amount This system is re-
garded by the members of the House inter
state and foreign commerce committee as
being conducive to reckless expenditure and
the members of the committee will refuse
to accept such bill hereafter and purpose
forcing the Senate to indorse measures
which will encourage the completion of
work at the lowest possible cost and the
saving of balances which may remain.
This action of the House committee Is in
line with the general opposition which the
House is offering to what is declared to be
the encroachment Of the Senate upon its
rights

question that the statement was exactly

EDWARDS MYSTERY

CORONER HARD AT WORK
Search for the Weapon Continued
Today.
INSPECTION OF THE SEWERS
Important Fact Revealed in Investi-
cation of the Guest Chamber
Where Body Was Found

NEW HAVEN. Conn, January 6-The
mystery of the death of Charles A. Edward
OF New York, at the Hitler family home
stead on College street, last Tuesday night,
vas apparently deep as ever when the COR
oner resumed his investigation today AS
far as an intimation of the progress made
in the inquiry could be obtained Coroner
Mix and the detectives who are assisting
him are practically at a loss for further
clues in the case.
The coroner. however has given no sign
of discoura cement over the battling situa-
tion, and he started in for the fourth day
or the investigation with undiminished en-
ergy. The search for the weapon with
which the murder was committed went on
today, a gang of workmen continuing their
inspection of the sewers in the vicinity of
College street by the coroners order. This
search is being made on the theory that the
murderer in leaving the scene of the crime
disposed of the revolver by dropping it in a
sewer rocket.
The catch basin at the corner of Temple
and Wall streets was opened today and
search made there.

The Autopsy Complete.


The autopsy which was held on Thurs
day lasted twelve hours and a very COM
pete examination was made. 1t showed
the presence of a clot of blood on the
BRAIN but to the surprise of the physicians
the bullet, which entered the upper part
of the ear and took an upward course, did
not penetrate the lobe of the brain. This
discovery led to the conclusion that Mr..
Edward was not killed by the bullet di-
rectly, but that his death was due to a
shock of apoplexy resulting from the
wound. The stomach and other organs
were also removed for examination. The
examination of the stomach, however, IS
not regarded as of significance as pointing
to a theory of poisoning and a sem-official
denial was made today of the story that
poison was found in the stomach
DR.. jay w. SSeaver, one of the best-known
American experts on anthropometry who
was one of the surgeons at the autopsy
said today there Were no signs whatever
of poison irritation in the stomach when
the autopsy was made. He said that 1t
was not possible to tell if there were indi-
cations OF poison in the system, for that
is matter of chemical analysis requiring
considerable time. He said that the organs
appeared to be normal.
DIR. Seaver was asked If at the autopsy
it was found that the path of the bullet
precluded the possibility of suicide. He
replied: 1T is extremely improbable

Fact Revealed Today.

The fact became known today for the first
time that the authorities have some reason
to think that Mr.. Edwards was not shot as
he lay in bed in the guest chamber where
his body found but that he was carried
into that chamber after the shooting and
placed in the bed. This theory is based on
the discovery of several blood spots on one
of the stockings worn by Mr.. Edwards He
was found in bed dressed in his under
clothes and stockings The left stocking
was wrongside out. as if the We4rer had
put ii on that way by mistake. and at the
open instep were a number of small drops
of blood. On the bottom and side OF this
stocking there was considerable lint, while
there was no lint the other stocking.
The inference which the detectives have
drawn is that the man was carried from an
other room the guest chamber after the
shooting and that the left foot tralled along
the floor. The blood spots, if they came
from the wound in the head could reach
the stocking only when the man was stand
ing erect.
The bullet entered the upper part of the
left ear. and if the victim were standing
the drops from the wound might fail on
the left foot.

Stress Laid on Discovery.

Mr. Edwards. It was explained, brought
no night clothing with him when he came
from New York for his two days visit here
and the fact that he wore his underclothing
and stockings in bed was not at first re-
garded as significant. On the discovery Of
the lint and the blood stains. however. the
investigators now lay much stress.
The diary kept by Mrs. Bezantson. the
nurse who attended Mrs. Abigail Hitler for
about two years apparently plays quite a
part in the mystery in the opinion of the
authorities.
The diary Is said to contain a record of
statements made TO the nurse by Mrs. Hill
Ter regarding family affairs and Of certain
loans which she is said to have made.
This diary is supposed to have been in
the possession of Mr.. Edwards and IS now
missing together with certain papers which
he carried. That the motive of the murder
was to secure this diary and the papers is
one theory on which the inquiry is being
conducted. 1t is said that the diary was
turned over to Mr.. Edwards on last Tues
day afternoon.
