TRIES GAS WHEN
 LINIMENT FAILS
 TO DESTROY LIFE
Mrs. Matilda Sa1ome Feared Return To Tuberculosis
 Sanatorium.

Fearing 8 second confinement in the Gaylord Farm Sanatorium in Wa1Hngford, because of tuberculosis, Mrs. Matilda Sa5one, age 24, pretty woman, living at 839 Beechwood ave nue, attempted to end her life at 1 o'clock this morning.
 Mrs. Sa1one first drank half a bot tie of horse 1indment in her efforts to end her life. This. although caus- ing great pain, was insufficient to kill her and Matilda turned on the gas in her bedroom after closing the doors and windows.
 The family of Samuel McMurdo, living down stairs, srnel1ed the es- caping gas and rushing upstairs to the Salome home, they found Matilda on the floor of her bedroom gasping for breath. The windows and doors were thrown open and a call was sent for the emergency ambulance
 Dr. J. H. Beaudry removed the 1ini- ment from Matilda's stomach by us- ing the stomach pump. She was then hurried to St. Vincent's hospital where she is in a critical condition this evening.
 At one time Matilda was a patient in the Gaylord Farm Sanatorium in Wallingford where she was treated for Nubercular trouble. She was dis charged from that institution much improved, more than 8 year ago. A few weeks ago she suffered a relapse and her family physician advised her return to Wal1ingford. Rather than go back to the sanatorium she oh ose 70 end her life. It is believed at St Vincent's hospital that she may re- cover, although her condition is criti- cal. Her husband is an employe of the Albert 6 B. HenkeI Lace Co., in Connecticut avenue.

EAGLES HALL ALMOST
 DESTROYED WHEN FIRE
 FOLLOWS DANCE PARTY
Policeman Discovers Blaze Tn Early Morning and In Short Time Rear of Struc- ture Is Burned Stage in Ashes Damage Estimat- ed at Between $1O,OOO and $15, 900.

One Of the most disastrous fires in this city in many years was narrowly Rverted shortly after o'clock this morning when a check was put to the flames that threatened to destroy Eagles hall in Madison avenue. The blaze had good start. The loss is estimated at about $10, ,o0o or SIS, ,0oO. The building is covered with an in- Burance of ST. 800.
 An association composed of inspec- tors in the Remington Arms & Am munition condpany held it's first an nual dance in the hall last evening. The dance concluded at 12:15 and Secretary Thomas J. McNamara and Janitor Joseph Cummings inspected the interior of the building but found no cigar butts or any other material that might cause fire. It was 12:3O when they left the building.
 Policeman Patrick Roland discoy- cred smoke issuing from the rear of Eagles hall as he was passing the building about 1 o'clock. He ran to Mo. Engine house and that com pany responded to a still alarm. Capt. Thomas Burns saw the necessity of sending in a regular alarm, which he Truck Company No. answered the alarm.
 By this time the rear Of the hall was enveloped in flames and Capt. Burns was about to ring in a. second alarm when Fire Chief Daniel E. Johnson arrived upon the scene. The fire was confined to the rear of the building and flames which were emanating from .the boiler room on the bottom floor were Ieaping through the rear walls
 Apparently the blaze started in the boiler room The boiler is covered with asbestos and no sparks were able to get out of the furnace. Electrician Arthur PIatt says it was possible for the fire to be caused by defective wir-

Leader Kitchin said he did mol think the McLenmore resolution would be the one offered by the for eign affairs committee and Chairman Flood said it was 1nis opinion that none of the resolutions now in his committee would be chosen for the test.
 It was understood that some of the leaders who conferred at the White House today still differed with the Presidents position. Speaker Clerk. who predicted last week that a watn- at any time, said he did not know the sentiment of the House now and re- fused to say how he himself would vote.
 The House foreign affairs committee got ready for meeting at o'clock at which it was the plan to canvass the situation generally and refer the drafting of the resolution to a sub committee. Despite the Presidents expressed desire that the vote commit tee put a straight question of passage of a warning resolution the sentiment in the foreign affairs committee and among administration leaders of both sides of the capitol was not clearly defined.
 House leaders today drafted for consideration of the House measure proposing that Congress express it's confidence in the Presidents handling of the armed merchantmen contrO- versy and recognize that it is not 9 matter of legislative but of executive concern.

but it iss indicated no further steps will be taken by this government un- til the administration is certain its action will not be embarrassed in Con gress.
 The assurances, reiterated in the latest communication are regarded as not so complete as those originally given as the result of the Lusitania negotiations and it was indicated to- day that the pending Lusitania agree ment would not be finally accepted as satisfactory at this time.
 Officials were represented as feeling that if the German govNrnment took the position that it could modify or change the first assurances at will there was nothing to prevent an at tempt to change the latest assurances and they do not intend to agree with such procedure.
