seeming to say "comc out from be-

Then he passes the candidate or
sends him back to New York on the

That word "comparative"-that's

Benzine on Hands
 Led to Molnar Death


 There was no explosion of benzipe at the factory of the Bridgeport Safety Emery Wheel Co.,, Tuesday and Steve Molnar of 429 Hallett street met death because he had washed his hands in benzine, according to wit nesses before Coroner John J. Phe1an today. Coroner PheIan has found that Molnarss death was not due to criminal negligence on the part of anyone MoInar was handy man about the factory. He was working on a grinding wheel when sparks from the wheel set fire to the oil soaked floor Of the room.
 Molnar beat the fire out with a buriap bag but later 1t started again, From the, testimony of President Ed- ward R. Hyde of the company it ap- pears that it was the custom of work men there to wash their hands with benzine to cleanse them of paint or other material which might stick to them. The officials of the company kept this benzine under lock and key and allowed employees of the company to use it in small quantities. Molnar washed his hands with benzine a. short time before the fire started. He beat it out once but it started a sec ond time and as he was trying to ex- tingaish the second fire the benzine on his hands caught and his clothing ignited. He inhaled flames which caused his death.
