 Mr McLa-en left His Tome af 7s Granite street, shortly after the noon
 hour in apparently good health, to in
 spect the pumping conditions at the
 North quarry, which had been report
 ed as defective, and # was his desire
 that the quarry be kept free. from Wa
 ter so as not 10 interfere, With the
 working conditions. Two men went . down into the quarry hole 70 examine the end of the pipe suctions and Mir
 AlcLaren went into the boiler house
 or pumping station. and was to signal n the men in the hall that water was
 coming through the pumps, by tapping n on the pipes with aliammer. After If time the men in the quarry we're sat y. isfied that all was clear at the sue l. tion end of the pipes. and were at q, g loss to understand why they did not
 receive the signals as arranged. They To went to the surface 10 investigate and lr found Superintendent McI.aren suffer- , ihg from severe hemorrhage.

 There is basis for hope tt7s the off. It cial report that Mario Calii of Vest srly, a member of the l34tl Infantry, e- was killed in action Octope.' 24 may
 prove incorrect. Such instances have K happened, as in the casa of the late Lieutenant David f7iedfort. who was re officially reported Nyoun ied and in q H. London hospital, when in reality he n had been killed in action. 1ae unofi- r. cial. but correct informa ton was re-
 ceived Q day later than the incorrect lc official notification. So it may be ill inc case of Private Galii he may be 'd living and be reported officially dead rs Orville Murphy of Ashaway, writes
 under date of October 23. that on that a day Cali was in the sama hospital
 with him, suffering from a severe cold r. and that Murphy left the hospital on T. that date. The letter would inlicat te
 that it would be almost Impossible for as Galli to be discharged from the hos y pital in the 24th and be killed in ac-
 ton the same day. It indicates fur
 ther that Cali was not ;n con 1itian
 to leave the hospital at that time He E. requested Murphy on Ostob,r 9. to = ask in his letter to his mother. that ae sl3e notify Mrs. Cali that her hu.+- l- band was in the hospital by req son of al a severe cold but was improving. .:;,ii ro gave his wifes telephone number and as residence address, so that EIls Nun : or pfy would have no difficulty in noti- to flying her by telephone.
