oni. the nine year-old daughter Of John and
Nathalie Liveroni Of COG East 18th street,
awoke yesterday morning with a start She
had dreamed that she saw her mother lying
dead. She got out of bed and tried to open
the door Of her mothers bed room. There
was something on the other side that held
the door shut. Then she called to her
brother Frank. who is a few years her
senior. and together they forced the bed
room door open.
The obstruction that held the door was
their father sitting in chair and looking
to their young eyes very strange and stiff
He was fully dressed, even to his derby
hat Their mother was in bed. in her
nightdress, lying very still.
Mary rushed to the bed. threw her arms
around her mothers neck, crying: MANI
ma, mamma, wake up"
Meanwhile the brother smelled gas He
caught hold of his sister and the two ran
screaming from the room.
Neighbors heard them and Policeman
Lukman was called. Gas was escaping
from two Jets in the room, the tip Of one of
the jets having been removed to allow a
freer escape of the gas. An ambulance
surgeon from Bellevue said that the couple
had been dead several hours.

with favor by members Of the church

been said that, socially, the Catholic Church
is a rather cold and conventional organiza-

great many senses, since, for one thing, It
does not make It possible for Catholics to
know one another as well as they might.
The change Is desirable. 1t promotes fell

and social contentment of parish. One OF

Plans for Financing.
The plans for financing the work have
progressed rapidly since the Oliver bid was
found to be the lowest and the government
likely to accept 1t. Those who took steps
to get into the enterprise Immediately made
arrangements for the securing of the bonds
demanded by the government. They placed
this matter In the hands Of George r. FAR
ker. an officer of the Title Guarantees and
Surety Company of Scranton. Pa This
company has a Washington ONCE. and there
1t has done a large bonding business.
Among its large clients have been many
builders of battleships, who nave been re-
quired to give bonds to the government.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Parker already
has made arrangements for the placing or
the 100000 of bonds which will be re-
provided by a number of companies in this
anu other eastern cities. That there will
be no delay In securing them has been as
sured. and 1t Is likely that they will be def
today when the Incorporation papers will
be completed and sent to Albany.
Mr.. McDonald's Part.
he and his colleagues considered 1t fortu-
nate that Mr.. Mcdonald. the builder Of the
New York subway had consented to asso-
ciate himself with the canal work. 1t was
predicted that he might have more I'M
portant part than even Mr.. Oliver.
Mr.. Mcdonald himself would say nothing
about the matter. When a reporter saw
him at the Manhattan Club yesterday after
noon. after he had been in conference with
the other contractors at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. at the opposite side OF Madison
Square, he said:
''The Times this morning published all
have to say at this time about my connec-
ton with the canal contract"
Ex-Supreme Court Justice Morgan ].
O'Brien. who attended one OF yesterdays
meetings. said last night that Mr.. McDon-
aid, who is his client might oe considered
the general supervising contractor OF the
canal. His long experience in engineering,
he said, had fitted him for the work. He
would be a consulting authority for all
other contractors and would take an espe-
cialy interest in the providing of the labor
ers. Mr.. McDonalds successful dealing
with the men employed on the New York
subway construction work was recalled.
