WIPES OUT WHOLE FAMILY
Husband and Wife Die in a
Suicide Pact.

New 1ork.-Joseph Barrett, on M;
way up the stairs of the apartment
house at $50 Fulton street, Brooklyn,
stumbled against a man. Barrett
struck out with his right hand.
What are you doing here?" he
asked. IT'S you, Bernard, is it?
What are you doing here?"
ooh, it's you, Barrett, is it?" said
the man on the stairs. Il don't know
what to do. I've go SO cents between
my family and starvation. What
would you do?"
Il think" said Joe Barrett, IL
would go to bed and look for job
in the morning. Go on. That's a
good fellow"
With a nod, the man turned into
third-floor fiat as Barrett climbed
another flight of stairs to the fourth
floor Barrett told his wife that he
had met Frank Bernard in the hall
way and that Barrett seemed de-
pressed.
Some hours later, at getting-up
time, Barrett smelled gas For a
time the odor was hard to locate. He
went up a fight of stairs and made
sure it came from the Bernard fiat.
He tried the doors. All were locked.
He went to his own apartment and
used the fire escape to the apart
ment above.
In the bedroom of the Bernard
apartment Mr.. Barrett found Frank
Bernard, his wife and two small chill
dren dead on the bed Gas was rush
ing from opened cocks in the cell
ing chandelier Mr. Barrett notified
the police, and Borough Inspector
James Dillon and Capt B. J. Hayes,
of the Bergen street station. made
formal investigation.
1t seemed that Mr.. and Mrs Bern
ard had agreed to die together and
take their children with them. There
was no indication of struggle. The
father and mother lay clasped in
dren, George, four years old, and
Daniel, two years old, in their arms.
After questioning the people in the
house Inspector Dillon concluded
that Bernard had become so despond-
ent because of failure to obtain work
that he had persuaded his wife to
join him in committing suicide.
Frank Bernard was a well-known
athletic trainer. He was a member
of the old Union Athletic Club, Pine
apple and Fulton streets. and was
known all over the country as an
amateur athlete. He ran in short
events from 100 yards up to a qua
ter of a mile. and was also good
jumper and hurdler. He became a
professional some years ago and con-
tested in the Caledonian and Irish
American games. and in contests in
all parts of the country. He was
successful and we'll liked.

Crumpacker Bill Fixes Size For

Washington, d. C.-After March 4.

suit of an all-day struggle in the
House over the question of reapPor-

the passage of the Crumpacker bill

years, commencing with the Sixty
third Congress, at the number stated.
If Arizona and New Mexico should
be admitted to statehood, they will
be given one representative each,
bringing the total up to 435.
Under the new reapportionment
plan no state loses a member. The
following states gain the number in

story and you'll scarcely notice that
storm has struck when it does come.
Whenever my students signify
their intention of taking a trip abroad
never fail to give them my scheme
for dispelling danger of seasickness.
And they have reported to me upon
their return that the method was sue
cessful. Perhaps if they did not apply
themselves in their reading-did not
become sufficiently interested, | mean
they were seized with the illness,
but those who really interested them
selves in their books crossed the ocean
and were in tiptop physical condition
the whole way over"
The professors unique views have
caused considerable comment among
his fellow educators at the university
many of whom make it practice to
go to Europe or some other trans
oceanic point every two years. Some
have taken the suggestion as a joke,
its exponent declares, and others have
taken it seriously In most cases the
ones who take it as it is given-in all
seriousness-aret the ones who are not
taken with seasickness. while those
who think it Is joke are kept in their
cabins for three or four days
Certain advanced classes Of students

boy was earning less than two dollars

for his car fare and midday meals.
Instead of spending the SO cents for
these purposes, however, the boy
