Died In Each
 Others Arms
Suicide of Editor Grams and Wife, Who Feared Ap-
 preaching Poverty

Middletown, N. Y., July. 24-Mr. and Mrs. Edward D. c. Grams of this city were found dead in bed at their home, 20 Orchard street, late yesterday af- ternoon. They had been dead since Wednesday,. Their arms were clasped and they were dressed in their we'd ding clothes. Beside the bed were two glasses which had apparently contained carbolic acid
 MT Qrans was formerly editor of the Mtddletown Daily Press. He was prominent in Republican political cir cies for many years.
 Two letters, inclosed in one envelope, were found near the bodies. The notes disclosed suicide agreement which had been in their minds since March l6. 1911, the date of one of the letters. The letters were addressed to ''Execu- tor Dr. E. M. Schultz The letter dated March 16 was as follows:
 Dear F'riend-When our wills were urawn some time ago we expected to nVed too long. Christian friends have been so scare that everything in about gone. No work after paying the taxes TOT years, then when we need money our friends Gas we thought) desert us. One dear friend, only one in this Snrlstlan city, has tried to help us. what are their lives? Very few are true. If I only cared to tell what I know. My dear husband is all that I have left, and he, too, is tired of ilfe. This is a clear case of suicide for want of work to make a living and should be made public.
 EDWARD, JENNIE CRANS.''
 The second letter, evidently written Just before death by Mrs. Grams, di- rected that no funeral services be held and that the undertaken be requested not to disturb their bodies. It was also requested that the husband be buried beside a little daughter who died nineteen years ago, and that the wife be buried beside a son who died at the same time. Tn the house was a purse with money in it and a bank book showing several hundred dollars on deposit.

so FAR so GOOD.

The employers liability and work mems compensation act passed by the State Senate this week is long step in advance of the law governing these important matters today. We are par ticularly pleased that the matter of the assumption of risk, already noted at length editorially in The Union, was not emasculated in the manner proposed by Senator Judson. The bill, as it goes to the House, represents the best compromise that could be made in the Legislature at the present time over so many complex and con- flicting legal doctrines as are involv- ed in this Legislature.
 It is no small bit of statute mak- ing to wipe the old fellow servant law off the books to only partially relieve the employer from responsi- bility even where there has been con- tributory negligence on the part of the employe, and to put the burden of proof of contributory negligence on the employer. It is big thing for the State Senate to pass bill whose principal features include that in case of death or total incapacity the em- ployer shall pay workmen or depend ents 50 per cent of the wage the in- jured workman was getting, this to continue until the children have reach ed the age of IS years or as long as the widow remains unmarried; that payments shall not be over $10 and not less than $5 week; and that if employer and employe enter into an. insurance agreement approved by the State Insurance Commissioner the employer shall not be liable under the law, provided the benefits under the insurance plan are equal to those un- der the compensation act.
 The State Senate, in it's attitude to- ward and action upon this legislation. has indeed added much to our faith and confidence in that body. Here is hoping the House will inspire us with a like feeling in regard to this matter.-New Haven Union.

companies, without the full knowledge
OF the intending subscriber, is a fraud
and for which the promoters cannot
be held too strictly responsible. Mr..
Ekern, through the governor, will ask
that the statute shall provide that
every contract for subscription of
stock in any corporation shall define
the commissions and the expenses TO
be paid from the payment upon such
subscription and declare that the ex-
senditures or payment by persons in
charge of such furd or any sum in
excess Of the amount so defined is en-
bezzlement. Mr.. Ekern further con-
tends that the situation in regard to
surplus in mutual companies empha-
sizes the need CT a measure providing
for the safeguarding of the surplus of
those companies. The insurance de-
partment maintains that it should
be given power to supervise and con-
troll and take charge of the liquidation
of all delinquent insurance companies
within the state in a manner similar
to that provided by the New York
law.

partment part of the insurance de-
partment, and placing a man at its
head who shall draw much less than
$4,000 year. Mr. Purtell, however,
has been active and will furnish a
stubborn fight It also is likely that
the treasury agent may be made part
of the state treasury department, and
that the immigration and waterway
department may be abolished. It also
may be decided to combine the inspec-
tion work of the state oil department
with that of the state dairy and food
department. There is also a move
ment to reduce the expense incident
to state printing by cutting down the
size OF departmental reports and do
away with others.
