 BOARDING HOUSE
Well Dressed Stranger Had Money in His Pocket-Be- lieved to be A. H. Gardner

Mystery surrounds the suicide in a Wall street boarding house of a well dressed, well spoken man of about S5 years whose dead body, with a 3S calibre pistol wound in the side of the head was found late yester- day when repeated knocks at the door failed to arouse the supposedly sleeping occupant.
 Papers and marks on the clothing indicate that the man is A. H. Gard her, a Massachusetts man, formerly living in Lynn and Lawrence. Gard ner reached the boarding house Sat urday, paid for two nights lodging and talked with the other roomers, giving no indication of despondency.
 He did not arise yesterday morn ing. Late in the afternoon an at- tempt was made to call him but it covery of his dead body. The key hole had been stuffed, and the win dows closed apparently to deaden the noise of the pistol shot.
 Funeral Directors Rourke & Rourke took charge of the remains on instructions of Medical Examiner Downs. Authorities of the Massa- chusetts cities were enlisted today in a search for relatives. Gardner is described as about 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing 1855 pounds.

NEW RULES ADOPTED FOR APPLYING FOR DIVORCE
 SUITS IN CONNECTICUT

The judges of the Supreme and Su- perior courts of the State have adopt ed a number of new rules applying to divorce suits which will in the future compel counsel to exercise a little more care and research before the fil- ing of suits. In all suits for Separa- tion brought after next Jan. 1, the complaints will have to contain a statement of the facts as to the resi- denee of the parties to the suit and in all divorce Judgments after that date there will have to be a statement of the facts found by the court as to the residence which gave the court juris- diction.
 Previously lawyers have been a lit- tie careless in the drawing of divorce complaints, not paying much attention to the question of residence. generally leaving that for the trial judge to as certain by questioning the applicant. In the future the court when the case is presented will on the examination of the application be possessed of con- siderable more information than under the old or present practice.

STRIKE QUESTION
 GOES OVER FOR
 ANOTHER DAY
Especial from United Press ]

SS.J
 New York, Nov. S-Thes election in tervening. today, postponed, at least for a day, the calling of general teamsters strike, in New York No meetings are scheduled, today, by either the express companies or the teamSters, but lot of work is being done. Tomorrow the executive council of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters will cast the die one way or the other. The strikers think the decision will be for a general stike, calling out about 30,000 teamsters in Greater New York. Merchants are hopeful, however. that the pressure they are exerting on the express com panies, will force the latter to re- cede from their position and open the way for arbitration of the trouble.
 The express companies are practic- ally alone in their position. which is still a refusal even to promise the strikers that none of them will be discharged for having joined the strike. This is now the only guaran- tee demanded by the strikers, that of the recognition of the union being waived, with the understanding that it be one of the points arbitrated.
 Both Mayor Gaynor and the Mer- chants Association are urging the ex- press companies to concede this point.
 The strikers case is now in the hands of Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, Daniel J. Tobin. President of the In- ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters, having been called to St. Louis.

BRIAND FOR ARBiT. .2ATiOk
 AS STRIKE PREVENTION
Special from United Press)

Paris, Nov S-Arbitration as the pre- vention of strike, is the position of the new French government, as outlined today to the Chamber of Deputies, by Premier Briand. Today's session was the first since ten days ago, when the sitting broke up in riot after Briand had sought to defend the governments course in suppressing the railway strike.
 Briand's policy was more conci1ia- tory today, and he listened with more respect. He read his report. which declared that the government was not opposed to labor unions. but questioned the right of public service employees to tie up the business of the nation to win their points. This declaration was greeted with misses from some of the Socialists and strike sympathizers.
