Woman and Her BetrOthed
Die Following a Quarrel
Hanessmaker and Widow Asphyxiated in Room at
G Street Boarding House-PoIiceman
Breaks Down Door.

Following a spirited quarrel Saturday
night, Mrs. Annie Heffernan, ffty-four
wears old, and her betrothed, Frank
Weisbacher, sixty-one years old, har-
nessmaker, employed at A Louisiana
avenue, were discovered dead from
asphyxiation in a rooming house at Gil
G street northwest yesterday afternoon.
Coroner hewitt has issued a certificate
Of accidental death, as 1t is believed the
gas was turned on while the couple were
intoxicated.
Detecting the fumes OF gas in the hall
of the rooming house early yesterday aft
ernoon, Mrs. Anna Eastner, who occu-
pies a room on the second floor, upon
the suggestion OF her cousin, Mrs. Grace
Newton, Of Twenty-eighth street and
Rhode Island avenue, by the aid of a
chair looked over the transom of room
9, the chamber occupied by Mrs. Hef-
fernan, from which the fumes were es-
Gaping Through the glass she saw the
bodies Of the couple.
Mrs Eastner summoned Policeman
William r. Allaband, of the First pre-
cinct, who broke down the door. The
gas Jet was found turned on full blast.
The bodies were removed to the morgue.
Mrs. Heffernan had been a roomer at
the house for the past ten years. She
was engaged to Weisbacher before her
marriage, and after the death of her
husband, the harncssmaker again began
his friendly relations. For some time
weisbacher had lived at the G street

MADERO INAUGURATED.

Threatening Disturbances.
Mexico City, Nov. 6.-With all the
pomp and ceremony, the glitter OF arms
and the blare OF trumpets so beloved by
the Latin races, Francisco l. Madero, the
second President to have occupied the
scat of power during the last twenty-five
years, was to-day inaugurated President
Of the republic of Mexico amid the cheers
of thousands who lined the streets to
watch his carriage pass.
1t is probable that never in the history
of the world has a President of a coUn-

by the people, ascended the seat Of gov
eminent in face OF greater opposition.
But in spite of all these obstacles Ma
dero to-day assumed the reins Of power
and in a triumphal proclamation, issued
just after his Inauguration, promised
peace in Mexico.
The new President made the unqualified
assertion that in three months Mexico
will be entirely quiet.
Il can promise no more than This, >"
declared Madero, but you can rest as
sured that l will do all in my power to
promote the prosperity of Mexico, her
glory among nations, and give her that
which she most needs-peace."

HILLTOPPERSHAYE
A DAY OF REST
Coach Nielsen Gives RegU-
lars Afternoon Off.
LIGHT PRACTICE FOR TO-DAY
Georgetown Football Warriors Are
Stih from Fierce Battle with the
Army Eleven and Do Not Work
Out on the HIIItOp-Regulars to
Play Mount ST. Mary's.

AS there was less than half the regulars
back from New York yesterday at
Georgetown, football practice for the day
was dispensed with, and the men were
given a well-earned rest.
Coach Nielsen gave the majority of the
men permission 20 remain over in New
York until Monday, as their homes are
near by, and they took advantage Of the
offer to see their folks. The poor condi-
ton of the field caused the calling of of
practice for the remainder of the squad.
Nothing but the lightest kind of prac-
tiCe will be the order for this afternoon
on the Hilltop, as Coach Nielsen does not
wish to take a chance of injury to any
Of the men at this stage of the season.
In the game Saturday against Mount st.
Mary's eleven. the fast team that is
coached by Mike Thompson, a former
graduate manager of athletics at George
town, Coach Nielsen will start the regu-
lar team, as he has a great deal OF re-
spect for the speedy little aggregation
that scored on the Carlisle Indians.
Coach Nielsen, who is very conserva-
tive, to say the least, stated after the
first half of the game with the Army
eleven last Saturday that Georgetown
would win. This is the first time that
Nielsen has ever been known to make
a prediction before the game.
Scholastic Teams VIII Play.
Contrary to the general expectations.
the high school eamc5 will be played next
week, Coach Nielsen giving the high
school board of athletic directors permis-
sion to use the field. and starting the
practice of the Blue and Gray eleven on
the Prep field.
This is a very generous move on the
part of the Georgetown coach, as, with
the big game with Virginia on Saturday,
secret practice will most likely be in
order for the majority of days next
week, and the use of the big gridiron
most essential to him.
The HilltOpPers are more confident than
ever of repeating last years victory over
the Orange and Blue eleven, owing to
the great showing made against Army,
when they really won a decisive victory
over the lads at Uncle Sans Military
Academy.

LOUISE VERMILYA
HELD FOR MURDER
Woman Calm at Hearing in
Chicago Poison Case.

Chicago. Nov. 6-FormaIly charged
Bissonette, Mrs. Louise Vermilya was
to-day given a bedside hearing by Mu-
nicipal Judge Walker and later taken to
the county Jail hospital in an ambulance.
CoincIdent with this action, Assistant
States Attorney Burnham declared that
Mrs. Vermilya and others will in all
probability be indicted for murder when
the grand jury convenes next Monday,
or as accessories to murder.
Simultaneous with this statement. Cor
oner Hoffman made public an affidavit
signed by Miss Elizabeth Nolan, former
fiancee of Frank Brimmerkamp, Mrs
Vermilya's son, in which she mentions
the name Of Undertaken Charles c.
Boysen, and declares that Mrs. Vermil-
va named him as having paid the pre-
miums on certain life insurance policies.
Coroner Hoffman to-day exhumed the
body OF Frank Brimmerkamp, son of the
accused woman, and placed the viscera
in the hands of Prof Walter Haines for
analysis.
The viscera OF Richard T. Smith, who
also died in Mrs. Vermilya's house after
a short, violent and mysterious Illness is
already in the hands of Prof. Haines, and
the result Of the analysis will be an
nounced not later than Thursday. Many
witnesses have gone before Police Captain
Barding and others OF the city and coun-
ty authorities and volunteered informa-
tion bearing on the case.
At the hearing to-day. Mrs. Vermilya
retained the calmness that has charac-
teriZed her throughout the investigation.
When she was carried into the county
Jail building, after being committed on
the charge of murder. she answered all
questions as calmly as though she were
being queried concerning the weather
forecast.
Arthur F. Bissonette. ST.. father OF the
murdered policeman, to-day told OF hav-
ing visited Mrs. Vermilya's home the
day before his son was removed to
Mercy Hospital, where he died the fol-
lowing day.
Mrs. Vermilya gave me some ham and
eggs for breakfast" said he, "and
used pepper on them. Shortly after
ward I was stricken with pains in my
stomach. and they have not entirely left
me yet.
My son Archie accompanied me. Mrs
Vermiya gave him a drink OF whisky
and he also was stricken with pains in
his stomach. the cause OF which we could
not determine"
