in Children's Room.

While John Lennon, aged AZ, lay dead
today in bed with tube from gas
jet in his mouth, his three young chill
dren, ignorant of the fact, slept in an
adjoining room, at 164 Parker street,
with death by gas threatening them
also. A letter Lennon left gave domes-
tic troubles as the cause of his act. but
relatives say this was not SO.
The letter was dated February 20,
which showed evidences of having been
carried about in somebody's pocket for
some time, gave directions for Lemons
funeral. and the disposition Of his in
surance.
A strong odor of gas alarmed the
household at $50 a. M, and investiga-
ton disclosed that the gas had been
turned on in the room where Len
mons children, May Grace, aged IS;
Frank, IL, and Clare, 10. were sleeping.
Mrs. Frank Hagel and other members
of the household revived the children
and a physician pronounced Lennon
dead.
At the Parker street house today it
was said that Lennon had returned to
his home last night at 1880, earlier
than usual for him. He had not been
well for some time, and, though he at
tended to his duties as a leather
worker, was attended by a doctor

SPEAKER CANNON MAY NAME
AN INSURGENT CHAIRMAN.
Enemy OF ''Cannonism" in Line
for Vacancy.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Whether
Speaker Cannon will follow custom in
such cases and appoint as a successor
TO the late Representative Perkins, as
chairman of the committee on foreign
affairs, Representative Foster, of Yer
mont, ranking member and a ''near-in-
surgent," or name a regular" is a
question many members of the House
are discussing.
The senior Republican member of the
foreign affairs committee is Repre-
sentative Foster, but for some time he
has been showing restive signs and in
dications of leaving the party reser-
vation Recently in a speech in the
House he declared that New England
and his district in Vermont We're op-
nosed 10 'Cannonism."
The custom in the House is that
members of committees succeed to the
chairmanships in order of their senior
ity OF service. and by this rule Rep
resentative Foster would be entitled TO
the place Few predict, however. that
the Speaker will name Mr. Foster. It
is generally believed the choice will fall

illness very seriously, but deemed it
wise to rest today.

appearance about the hotel this morn
ing many inquiries were made for him,
and the manager, learning that the
bishop had not been well last night,
hastened to his room. The door was
forced open and the bishops body was
found lying partly on the bed and part
ly on the floor. It is thought that when
he felt the heart attack coming on he
tried to summon assistance, but died
before reaching the room telephone.

ton In the conference. Every person
in the auditorium of the church was
moved to tears. Prayer was offered
