DIR. LEVERTY'S
 DEATH UNEXPECTED
Prominent Young Physician Succumbs to Pneumonia
 at Home on Golden Hill

News of the unexpected death of Lr. Robert Gordon Leverty, of 606 Washington avenue, which occurred last evening at his home came as a shock to the many friends of the young physician, who by his unfailing many. He was not in robust health for some time, but of late there had been a distinct change for the better and he himself in a chat with friends recently expressed the belief that he was on the road to recovery. Sum- day last he was taken with chill and pneumonia developed. He failed steadily and last evening death came.
 The deceased was a son of the late Alexander and Ellen O'Connor Lev erty, native of this city, where with the exception of his years at college he always resided. He was gradu- ate of the public schools of this city York University of which institution he was a graduate. Shortly after his practice begun he was appointed a city physician and served with fidel- 1ty. He was kind and considerate and the newspapermen who came to know him intimately while he was con nected with the Emergency hospital found him always most agreeable and attentive. It was characteristic of him that he gave to the poor whom he attended as much as to his pri- vate patients.
 Surviving him are his mother, a widow and two children, Alexander and William. His funeral which is private will take place this evening, church officiating. Burial will be in Mountain Grove cemetery. He was a cousin of Dr. Charles Leverty also a practicing physician of this city.

MILLIONAIRE WHITTEMORE
 DIES TODAY
Special from United Press.)

Naugatuck, Conn.,, May 28.-John H. Whittmore, millionaire, director of the New York, New Haven & Hartford other financial projects and one of the leading philanthropists of Connecticut died suddenly at his home here today from heart disease.
 Soon after reaching Naugatuck MT. Whittemore entered the firm of E. c. Futile, farm implement manufact- urer and remained with him until the firm was burned out in January 1878. In September of the same year, White more, thinking it better to be his own boss, formed a partnership with Bron- son Futile and launched his career in the maleable iron business. Ten years later he organized the Naugatuck Malleable Iron Company, one of the the country and remained at its head until his son was elected president number of years ago.
 MT. Whittemore is also heavily in- terested in the Bridgeport Malleable Iron Company in Bridgeport and their land, Toledo and New Britain. He is also a director of the Colonial Trust Company of Waterbury.
 MT. WhittemOre was known through out the state as a charity worker and philanthropist. He was one of the pioneers in the playground movement in the state and inaugurated his ideas by establishing a model playground for the children of his home town. He also built the Naugatuck High School and the Naugatuck Library as memorial to his son, Howard, who died more than 20 years ago. He also spent thousands of dollars in improv- irr f..1 11~ orIx Ova June 10, 1863, MT. Whittemore was married to Julia Spence, daughter of Harris and Mary Spencer of Nauga- tuck and six children were born to them, Arthur. John, Harris, and How ard, and Gertrude and Julia White more. Howard and Julia are de- ceased. The widow survives
 Funeral arrangements have not yet been completed. The interment will take place next Tuesday.
 Whittnore was one of the wealthlest men in Connecticut, his estate being estimated at several millions. His business career was one of the most While much of his money was made by judiciOus investments. g. large part of his fortune was made in the iron business, his interests in this industry extending from Chicago to the At lantic.
  in mild form about two weeks ago and while he had since been under the care of the family physician his death to- day was entirely unexpected. Short ly after eating breakfast he suffered an acute attack and expired within a few minutes.
 John Whittmore was born in South bury, Conn.,, October B. 1887, and lived there until he was 10 years old. He then moved to New Haven where he attended a preparatory school expect ing to enter Yale on his graduation, but unforeseen difficulties came in the way at the last moment and he was not able to take a course at Yale. In stead of entering college he moved to New York and entered the firm of El- Hot F. Sheppard and Edwin D. Mor- gan, commission merchants. At this time he was but sixteen years old. In 1858 he came to Naugatuck and had lived here almost continuously ever since.

 Everywhere outside of Connecticut so far as I know they are elected by the people. In my personal belief they should be chosen in this state. Al most every one is ready to concede that the present system is the worst possible. The Civic Federation should endeavor to have the law changed. There are> some who urge that the governor should be given the power to appoint the commissioners. In this way it is said the commissioners would he taken out of politics. What possl- ble ground there can be for so think ing it is difficult to understand. The government of local communities appointed by the governor and should not be elected by the general assem- bly. But the governor should be em- powered to remove for cause shown not only the county commissioners but local officers like the sheriff and may or Attention should also be called to the manner of auditing the accounts of the county commissioners under the present law. One does not wish to speak disrespectfully. but the present system of auditing almost deserves to beEdescribed as farcical. The law pro- vides that he represents atives and sen- ators from the county shall on the third Tuesday in January meet at the state capitol and appoint from their own number two auditors who shall not be selected from the same political party and who shall examine and aud it the accounts of the county com nissioners, the county treasurer and the jailer. It would be much wiser to invest the state comptroller with the duty of auditing the accounts of the co1rnfv officers"

TO ADORN
 FOR CHARITY DANCE

One of the last events of the season is the charity dance which is to be given under the auspices of the Cecil ian Assembly in St. Mary's hall. The young woman in charge of the hall decorations, together with the patron esses of the event, are forming a pie nic party for Memorial Day. It is said that they expect to hire an auto truck to carry the daisies they expect to gather. If such expectations ma- terialize the decorations will rival in beauty the fair dancers. They will be quite lost in a mass of gold and white, which with an occasional palm and fern ought to make a sort of Elysian field fit for Loie Fuller and her Grecian dancers.

 HAVE CLEANING DAY

Wholesale warrants for property owners who have failed to clean up their premises in keeping with the in structions of the board of health are threatened by Inspector Lynch of the Health Department, who is busy now chasing the delinQuents.

 He visited the local barber shops yesterday in connection with the State Barbers Commission, and found sev- eral places where conditions were such that notice was served that arr rests would be made if an improve ment is not shown within 10 days.

Special from United Press.)


 Columbus, O., May 2S.-Bryan's s demand that Governor Harmon route the hosts of predatory wealth. by announcing his support of the convention endorsement plan TOT the nomination of United States Senator has demonstrated the Commoner's complete ignorance of Ohio condi- tions, in the opinion of prominent Democrats today.

He believes that if the con- vention names a candidate a lot of 6isgruntled Democrats would shut their pocketbooks during the cam paign and let the state and legisla- tive tickets go to smash.
 Tom l.. Johnson, former mayor of Cleveland, and his friends have talk en the Bryan side of the argument and a test of strength is imminent.
