BRIDGEPORT Chef
ASPHYX|ATED IN
WATERBURY HOUSE
Elmer S. Youngs' Employe
Dies from Overpowering
Fumes of Illuminating
Gas.

Efforts are being made through the
local police to locate the family of
Louis Halholm, employed by Elmer
S. Youngs, a Waterbury restauranteur
formerly in business in this city.
Halholm, 10 years Of age, who
worked as chef, met death by as
phyxiation in the Dougherty block at
the corner of East Main and Spring
streets, Waterbury, Sunday morning.
A gas stove in the room where he
was sleeping was left open and when
Halholm was discovered shortly be-
fore noon he was in a precarlous
condition and died within few mo-
mcnts. During the past two months
Halholm was employed as chef at the
Maryland lunch room on East Main
street, having gone to Waterbury
from Bridgeport.
Medical Examiner Crane made an
investigation and was of the opinion
that 1t was an accident.
Halholm went to his room about
1880 o'clock Sunday morning having
worked all night. His room was in
the apartment occupied by Mrs
James Hyland. 1t is the belief that
a time before getting into bed and
when shutting it off. turned the cock
all the way around which left 1t open.
During the cold weather he always,
so his friends say, had the WINDOWS
covered with paper, so no cold air
could get in. AS there was no VEN
tilation in the room, it is the sup
position that he was overcome by the
gas a short time after he retired.
The odor of gas coming from Hal
holm's room led to his discovery.
Halholm went to Waterbury from
Bridgeport two months ago and while
in Bridgeport he lived at S67 Main
street. He leaves his wife and one
daughter. and the body will probably
be taken to Bridgeport for interment.

WHO OR WHAT ARE
BEHIND LORIMER?

It was recently reported from Wash
hngton that two methods Of dealing
with the case of Senator Lorimer of
Illinois were under consideration, viz,
to connect him personally with the
alleged bribery, which would raise the
question of expulsion upon a two
thirds vote Of the Senate. and to
acQuit him Of such connection but
finding him the beneficiary of bribery,
which would make the question one
of a void and invalid election. requir-
sng only a majority vote to unseat
him % In his minority report, Senator
Beveridge of Indiana takes the ground
that Lorimer was not duly and
legally elected. basing his opinion up
on a statement that ten of the votes
given LoriIner in the Illinois Legis-
lature were tainted, deduction of
which would make his to,al vote four
less than the number required for
election. Senator Owen of Oklahoma.
sn a speech on Monday, expressed
similar opinion and gave the names
or the ten Illinois legislators who. in
his belief. cast tainted votes for Lori
mer.
Perhaps the most curious feature of
this matter is the fact that no one
appears to charge Lorimer with per-
sonal knowledge of. or connection
with. the alleged bribery of leg slators
TO vote for him. If Lorimer's inno-
cence be assumed, there must have
been a conspiracy to send him to
Washington of which he was entirely
ignorant, and this conspiracy must
have comprised both Republican and
Democratic legislators. either as prin-
cipals or agents. 1t is reasonable to
acquit them of the charge. of being
principals. For what persons or what
interests then. if we accept the find
ings of Senators Beveridge and Owen,
Were they agents or tools? Whence
came the cash alleged to have been
used to send Lorimer to the Senate?
And why could any persons or inter-
ests have been so DESTROYS of his cleo
ton as to put up the cash? 1t is a
perplexng case. made more so by the

Mrs. Sullivan Pleads
Guilty to Manslaughter

/ Featured by the change of plea in
the most serious case on the criminal
docket this term. the criminal session
of the New Haven Superior court
closed yesterday afternoon, after Mrs.
Mary Sullivan had pleaded guilty to
manslaughter in connection with the
death Of Mrs. Catherine Hayes. wife
Of former Police Sergeant Michael
Hayes.
Shivering noticeably when Clerk
Wheeler re-read the charge Of murder
against her, Mrs. Sullivan stated that
she wished to change her plea to gull
ty Of granddaughter. The state imme-
diately moved to have her sentence
deferred until later date. OF inter-
est in connection with the case is the
fact that practically the entire popu-
lation Of Branford will be represent
ed in a petition to be presented to
court officials shortly, asking for len
iency from the court in her case. The
maximum penalty for the offense to
which she pleads guilty is Is years
in States prison. It is understood,
however. that the woman might re-
ceive but a few days in Jail, with a
fine attached. She will not be SEN
fenced until Thursday.

which he is now serving term in
jail. Sayers belongs in Montreal. he
says. though he had been working in
New York State. and came here four
months ago and obtained work as a
spare brakeman on the New Haven
road. He says he is but 10 years old.

sayers was cute and he left two win
6ows open in the Murphy house to
give the impression that some one had

place.
That story didn't seem probable to
the Murphy family and after they in
vestigated they notified The police and
expressed the opinion that Sayers
knew about the robbery. He had
chance to know about it. anyhow. The
result was that Sayers was taken into
custody and when he was accused
strongly he owned up to the theft and
told where the stolen articles-a sill

etc.-were hidden.
Policemen Beebe and Magic. who
were sent out on the GRAND to fathom
the theft. found the plunder~f where

small value. Sayers was arraigned in
court and was fined SIS and committed
to Jail for 10 days. He would have
received longer sentence in Jail had
he not confessed the theft and given

November elections, is beginning to
have some effect upon Congress. The
judiciary committee OF the Senate has
decided to report favorably the sub
committee resolution authorizing an
amendment to the constitution provid-

direct vote of the people. Several
times has the House sent to the Sem
ate such resolutions. and always here

B. A. Belts, who for some time has
been station agent for the New Ha-

position, there quite recently. and au-
ditors of the road. it is reported, have
been sent to the station to investigate
Belts accounts. It is reported also
that new station agent has been Sc
lected for the position. Some of the
Mt. Carmel residents hold that Belts
has simply gone to his home in Mil
ford, pending the examination Of his
accounts. The latter was brought
about, 1t is said, through complaints
made by some of the residents.
