FRANK. E. BEACH, VETERAN EDITOR,
 IS DEAD AT 64
Associate Editor of the Standard Is Victim of
 Pneumonia

Death today ended the career of one of Bridgeport's foremost newspaper men, Frank Ensign Beach, associate editor of The Standard. After an ill., ness of only a. few days, MT. Beach succumbed to pneumonia, at his home. 60 Washington Terrace, at 6 o'clock this morning. He had been suffering from a, slight cold for some months past, but was not taken seriously i'll until Saturday afternoon, when he had a congestfve chill which rapidly gave place to a high fever and pneumonia. Although a doctor and trained nurse were in attendance from the time he was taken iR until the end came, their efforts were in vain, due to the fact that the prolonged cold had weakened MT. Beach's system to such an extent that he was unable to successfully combat the more serious illness with which he was taken Saturday.
 The deceased was born in Nauga- tuck, Conn, Sept. q, 1S4S. When he was only a few years of age his par ents moved to Litchfeld to live and it was there that he received his early education He started in the newspa- per business as reporter on the Litchield Inquirer when he was IS the Inquirer for some time he ac- cepted a position on the Waterbury Republican. He next spent several years with the Aneonia Sentinel and then became the owner and editor of a Southbridge, Mass. paper. After conducting the Southbridge paper for some little time he sold it and went to Great Harrington, Mass, to work.
 On coming to Bridgeport MT. Beach was with the Morning Telegram as telegraph and exchange editor and about 1 4 years ago went to The Stand ard, with which paper he remained until the time of his death.
 He was a member of the Royal Ar canurn and is survived by his widow who, before her marriage, was Miss Alice Powell of Philadelphia.
 MT. Beach was a thorough news paper man and was held in high es- teen by his contemporaries in this city as well as in the other cities in which he worked. His host of friends and acquaintances will learn of his Seath with sincere regret.

VOUCHERS AS EXHIBITS TO
 CONNECT PRESIDENT WOOD
 WITH DYNAMITE PLANTING
Introduced by State to Show That Payments of American WoOIen Co. to Atteaux Dur ing Lawrence strike Were Authorized
 by Manufacturer Now On Trial

Breen also confessed and said that he obtained the explosive from Pit man and that Atteaux paid the bills. William H. Rice, a quarryman, has testified that he indirectly furnished dynamite to PitLnan and saw him give it to Breen.
 Today the State attempted to show that President Wood was involved and that the American Woo1en Company. through Wood, had helped pay the ex- penses of the conspiracy.
 Edward B. Lynch, paying teller of the Federal Trust Company of this city, where Atteaux had funds on de- posit, took the stand and identified Atteaux's signature on four of five pa pers which District Attorney Joseph c. PeI1etier offered as exhibits.
 Henry F. Hur1burt, of counsel for MT. Wood, objected to their admission as evidence against his client. He argued that the exhibits were not competent until some connection should be established between the pa pers and the alleged conspiracy The district attorney replied that the pa pers would speak for themselves and would show the payment of money from one defendant to another
 Judge Crosby admitted the exhibits with the understanding that they would be competent only. in the event that some connection between the pa pers and the alleged conspiracy should be established by evidence.
