Col. M. H. Rogers, president of the permanent paving commission, au- thorized today the publication. of cor respondence which proves conclusive ly that neither he. nor the paving commission ever acquiesced in the Warrenite transaction of a. year ago.
 On the contrary Col. Rogers dis tinct1y informed Warren Bros. that the paving commission had not been instructed regarding the paving and lacking instructions from the Conn mon Council, had no authority to op- pose.
 The letters are also useful as show ing that year ago Warren Bros were apparently doubtful of their rights under the contract made with Direc- tor Courtade, and were apparently un- willing for a time to go on with the work
 There are three letters, one from Arthur DrinkTater. counsel for War ren Bros, to' the mayor, one from Drinkwater to Col Rogers. and one from Col. Rogers to Drinkwater.
 They are printed in the order of their dates, as follows:
 From Drinkwater to Mayor.

 June 16, 1915 Mayer Clifford B Wilson.
 City Hall, Bridgeport, Conn Dear sir:
 Since writing to you on Saturday. June 14th, have had another con ference with the officers of Warren Brothers Company, and they eupha- size again the statement that the com panzE is ready to begin work inme- diaEely on learning that no dfn1euIty win be raised over paying for the paving of Fairfield avenue. The only doubt, of course, is as to the action of the Paving Commission, and as soon as the company is satisfied that the Commission does not intend to raise obstacles, it will be glad to proceed forthwith; the sooner, the better. As informed you, Col. Rogers told me that fhe Commission would decide at it's next meeting on June goth as to whether it would take any action or not regarding the Fairfield avenue con tract What Warren Brothers com pany would like to have done. and what 1t sincerely hopes can be accomplish ed, is to have the Commission formal ly resolve that the Commission has no interest in this contract is not con cerned with it in any way, and ap- proves the carrying out of the work under the proceedings already taken and under the contracts made by thesl Director of Public Works. A record of this kind in the minutes of the would be most satisfactory to Warren Brothers company, and the < company would esteem it a great fa- yor on your part if you could bring this about.
 Of course you can readily under stand the position the company finds itself in, with a contract for work which it desires to carry out, and car ry out in such a manner as will be a credit to 1t and to your city, but at the same time with a. warning, inform al, but more or less direct from tke Paving Commission, that the .Commis- sion considers that this contract should

BELIEVE ''DROWNED"
 MAN SAFE ASHORE

Waterbury, July Swallowing an all day search for the body of Charles Krause. an emp1oye at the branch of the Waterbury Ice corporation at Lake Quassapaug, said to have been drowned Tuesday while fishing with John Vasser, comes the theory, which has gained considerable ground among campers at the lake, that Krause was not drowned and is somewhere on shore.
 The theory is advanced because a most thorough search for yards about the place of the accident a.vailed noth- ing and vasser himself stated that Krause, who was an able swimmer, had reached within 15 feet of shore when he was lost in the shadows.
 During all the time he swan to shore Krause was laughing at Vas ser's plight and seemed to be making the distance with little diff1culty Vas ser -y-s rescued by a camper

BLOWS IN KEYHOLE,
 ASKED WHY, MAN COMMITS SUICIDE

Putnam, Conn, July 9--After WzHst1lng through a keyhoIe of an office in the Central Block and be ing asked why he did it, a poorly dressed man went out, crossed the street to a drugstore, bought ten cents worth of poison, drank it and died a few minutes later in the hall- way of the block.
 While the man was staggering about from the effects of the poison, persons who saw him thought he either had a fit or was crazy and a doctor was called
 The only clue to the mans identity was in his statement that his name was DonneIly, that he had walked from North Scftuate, R. T., 27 miles, during the night, and that he was looking for a man. Nothing was found in his clothing.
 He was either a laDorer or a mill operative, about 30 years old and weighed 135 pounds.

Herbert B. SeeIey
 Is Dead At 43
Body of Barnum's Grandson Buried In Mountain
 Grove Cemetery
WASTED A FORTUNE IN USELESS ENDEAvOR
He Expired In a Hospital In Long Branch From Com
 p1ication of Diseases

F Herbert Barr1un Seeley. grandson of the late Phineas T. Barnuuls from whom he inherited a vast fortune, Is dead. His body was brought. to this city, yesterday, from Long Branch. N. J.. where he died in Memorial ,hosT pital, after suffering for nearly a month with a. complication of disor- ders.
 While his passing will bring a thrill to those who knew him in his heyday of prosperity, the services at Noun tain Grove cemetery today. where but a few of his kindred were able to gath CT, owing to their absence in various parts of the worlds brings only pangs of sorrow to those closely related. For the publicity which followed a dinner he gave in New York, an act of ex- uberant youth, and which would to- day be little counted in the society Of which the foremost aristocrats of the country indulge themselves, made his name famous in the annals of Broadway. port, the son of Nathan Seeley and Pauline Barnum,- daughter of the late F. T. Barnum- He was but 4S years of age at the time of his death. Dur ing his early youth rosy prospects Afac- ed him. He inherited a considerable part of the $4.O0O.O00 Barnum estate. but is said to have spent most of it in his attempts to become a king of the turf.
 With plenty of money and influence he became cadet at West Point. His alert mind and lack of self-control soon got him in trouble, however, and after two years, he left the academy.
 Then his imagination was fired by stories of western life and he went to Mexico. After a while, he took up mining, but the work. was too hard and the excitement not keen enough He sold out and went into the show business.
 He soon found that he inherited his grandfather's money rather than his genius. He forsook the circus for the racetrack and cut figure as pIung- CT until the fall of 1894, when an incl dent occurred which made the betting ring an uncomfortable place for him. Through some performances at Morris Park and Narragansett, SeeIey had to refund money which persons had lost betting on his horses.
 His last appearance in the New York pritns was when he assumed the position of ticket seller at the New York Hippodrome This was in 19O5
 He was married in 1900 to Miss Lucy Mitchell daughter of the late A. P Mitchell. but was divorced in 1903. She later married Arnold Lawson, son of Thomas w. Lawson, of Boston. See-. ley subsequently, married.

 MT. warburg's telegram to the Pres ident was not given out but after it's receipt officials at the White House said the news would not be withdrawn. That followed a visit by Senators House. They are understood to have told the President that only a very few Democrats would oppose MT. War burg's condrTna ton.
 The situation to the nomination of Thomas D.. Jones, of Chicago, re- mained unchanged and it was said at the White House that the Presi- dent would continue to press for his confirmation
 No official word went from the White House officials. but Senators were indicating that the committee would stand by its request.
 The Warburg nomination was dis cussed only informally today by the committee It took up in detail the nomination of Thomas D. Jones. of Chicago.
 A letter from the Chicago delega- ton of business mon received yesterday by fhe President endorsing MT. will sons statement in support of MT. war burg and ATr Jones was made public at the White House.
 No more hopeful, helpful finer words ever have come from the White House and we believe they win meet with the nations hearty approval said the letter.

HEAD WOULD
 ARBITRATE
 WARRENITE Mayor Wilson Thinks It Would Be Splendid Idea to Do It

J. M. Head, who signs counsel for the. Warren Bros Co.,. sent a com- munication to Mayor Wilson today, in which he proposes to "arDitrate'' the legality of the warrenIte contracts. which the city attorney has declared illegal
 He proposes that City Attorney Comley. who gave an opinion against the contracts, be one member, that Judge Robert B. DeForest, who has given an opinion in favor of the con- tracts, be another, and that these se- Iect a third
 He wants the contracts to be de- clared legal, upon the decision of two of these lawyers that they are so.
 He suggests that there are three parties interested in the contract which he says are the scommission, the city council and the contractor. He wants the third arbitrator to be selected from outside the state.
 Regarding the proposition made by Attorney Head, counsel for the War rem Brothers company, that the valid ity of the Warrenite contracts be submitted to arbitration Mayor Will son said today:
 T am in favor of amy plan that as quickly as possible. The proposi- ton of the counsel for Warren Broth CTS company seems to me to be a very fair one. I shall submit it to the paving commission at the meeting of that body on Tuesday and recommend that they take favorable action on it-''
 The mayor said that no further Ac- ton regarding the Warrenfte com tracts or the meeting of last night will be taken until after the arbitras- ton proposition has been laid before the paving and sewer commission.
