GAS, JET OPEN, MAN IS FOUND DEAD IN CHAIR Machinist's Death Is Being Investigated By Medical
 Examiner SON DISCOVERS HIS FATHERS DEAD BODY Reported to Authorities that Man Had Been Despond-
 ent and Demented

Fully clothed and seated as if asleep in an easy chair before the kitchen stove, the dead body of Patrick O. Hogan, 39 years old, formerly of Tor rington and, for the past two years employed as a machinist at the Stand ard Manufacturing plant, was found shortly after o'clock today, a vic tim of gas asphyxiation. Whether ac- cidentaI or suicidal has not been de- fnitely ascerta,ined by pr. s. M. Gar lick, medical examiner, who is to make a further examination before deciding.
 He said this afternoon that the family gave him no indication to sup port any theory but that of accidental death and informed him that there was no gas tubing in the house. The record of the emergency hospital sur geon says that a gas tube was found, one end attached to a. jet over the stove and the other end in his mouth. This report was also made to pr. Gar lick.
 According to information given Dr.. Garlick by the family, Hogan is be- Heved to have been mentally unba1- anced or Respondent. Some night he was accustomed to sleep on a couch in the kitchen. His son remained up TOT n1In uIll1l aIE0T O CLOCK anu then went to bed. Shortly before 10 o'clock. according to the family, he came in and went to the sons room requesting assistance in the removal of shoes and some of his clothing. Upon leaving he expressed the intention of sleeping in the kitchen and went down stairs. That was the last seen of him alive.
 The family slept late this morning and it was not until about g o'clock that the son entered the kitchen to build the fire. He was mortified to see f1fs fathers body, cold in death and rigor mortis indicating that death had come hours before, in the chair. The gas filled room indicated the cause and the emergency hospital arn- bulance corps with the pu1motor were summoned. The surgeon found no need of his services and notified pr GarIick. pr. Garlick was informed by the son that, when he left the kitchen last night, a gas jet had been left burning low. It was turned nearly full on when found.
 Mr. Hogan was 39 years old last April ad came to Bridgeport about two years ago from Torrington. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Helen, and a son, Lawrence, also a brother, James Hogan of Torrington. and a sister, Lena, wife of James Hog an of Brooklyn. The body has been turned over to Undertaken M. J. GaAl- non to prepare for burial.

Special to The Farner.)

Newtown, Conn, Dec. 20.-State road work in this section received a bad setback today when the entire force Of men and teams employed by Kellogg and Gregory, sub-contractors under the O'Brien Construction company of New York, quit work.

BUY IN BRIDGEPORT

Would you be prosperous? Spend your money in Bridge port. How is that going to make you prosperous? By adding to the total prosperity of the town. You can be no more prosperous than is the town. If you spend your money somewhere besides in Bridgeport you take away from the total prosperity of the town. In that way you are lessening your chances of success. By buying in Bridgeport you leave tho money here and add to your prospects. This law of cause and effect can no more be set aside than can the attrac- ton of the moon and the re- sponse of the tides. If you seek to attract money in Bridgeport, hold out a little bait. SPEND YOUR MONEY IN BRIDGEPORT.

worse calamity than to displease their
own constituents.
The Progressives almost solidiy
voted against the governors veto on
the Cheney normal appropriation, be-
cause it was made very apparent that
there was a necessity for the contin-
uance OF the school in Eastern Wash
ington and that the appropriation was
absolutely necessary for the erection
and furnishing OF the new administra-
ton building to take the place Of the
one destroyed by fire last summer. On
the road levy the Progressives almost
to a man voted to sustain the govern
or's veto, being strengthened by few
democrats, who evidently wished to
keep on the solid side OF the governor.
But the majority OF the democrats
voted as they have during the entire
session with the republicans in keep
ing up their "unholy alliance" COM
pact.
Following the action Of Wednesday
morning in expunging the records,
Governor Lister issued the following
statement to the press:
THE action taken by the Legislature
on the veto is really reconsideration
of the measure and when the vote was
taken yesterday the veto on one bill
was not sustained, and that bill, in so
far as the house is concerned, is a
law. It now awaits the action OF the
senate On the other bill, providing
for a levy Of $1,500,000 per year for
the highway fund, the vote was sus-
tanned and the measure killed. If, by
expunging from the records any action
that has been taken by the Legislature,
they might go to the extent Of ex-
punging from the record action taken
two or three weeks ago, so that until
the last day of the session no one
would be able to figure out what they
have done or what they intend to do.
This is introducing into the legis-
lature of the state of Washington a
system that cannot but result in con-
fusion and dissatisfaction, and is con-
trary to all lines heretofore followed in
this state.

LOVE MEANS SELF SACRIFICE.

There Is pathetic story from Glove
land of mother who wanted TO keer
her children forever babies
Most parents. especially mothers.
have had similar yenrnings.
This mother did not stop with long
Ing. however. She tried to defeat ma
ture and time. She did not teach her
little ones 10 tnlk or walk. She con
tlnned feeding them baby food. She
took them from the house only after
dark.
She admitted no one to their pres
ence She wanted them all for her
very own.
II was by accident that the authori-
ties discovered the sad plight OF the
little ones. There were three of them
two. three and four years old.
The four-year-old still crept about
the floor and cooed in baby fashion.
Such an influence had the mothers
mind and methods upon him that they
had stunted his physical growth. He
was not larger than n normal child OF
two. Yet all three children were
bright and without natural defect.
With proper care and training they
would have been as others.
The result was that the mother was
arrested and the children sent to an
institution.
Her selfish love defeated itself. By
seeking to keep her little ones forever
babies she was not permitted to keep
them at ALL
Selfish love is always cruel. 1t does
not look to the happiness and well be-
ing of the object.
The only true love sacrifices self for
the good of others.
1t Is easy to see the falsity and fu-
tility of this mothers course, but her
sin was only an exaggerated form OF
a fault found In most of us.
In another aspect it appears in the
mother who does not want her chill
dren away from her, who tries to keep
them from going to a distant school
or from marriage or from career.
