Too Poor to Buy Gifts,
Mother Kills Daughter
Turns on Gas in Home, but
She and Infant Child
Are Revived

Discouraged at her inability to pay
the prices demanded for Christmas
gifts, Mrs. Mathilde Hubert returned
from a shopping trip to her nome at
5206 Sixth Avenue, Brooklyn, yester-
day, and, after attaching a tube to a
jet and putting the other end in her
mouth, turned on the gas.
When her husband, John, a cabinet
maker, got home he found the fumes
had killed his three year-old daughter,
Mabel, who, with another child, Ethel,
six weeks old, lay in an adjoining room
The baby was resuscitated with pull
motor, as was Mrs. Hubert
A note in Spanish, translated by
Hubert, read: Il am tired of living
and think it better that the children
should 60 along with me-
Berghild Westvig, a fifteen-y year old
girl, who minded the children while
Mrs. Hubert was shopping, said she
had returned with only pair of rub
bers for Mabel, saying things were SO
high she could not afford to buy them.

Jewelry Thief
Kills Maid i'm
Day Robbery
Neighbor Says Man in Army
Uniform Prowled About.
Then Entered BROOKLYN
Home; $4,000 Haul Made

Catherine Dunno, maid in the home
of Clarence s. Clark, 11l6 Kenmore
Place, in the Flatbush section of Brook
lyn, was killed yesterday by daylight
burglar who got jewelry valued at
$4,000.
The murder occurred between 8:45
and 10 q. m. The maid was alone in
the house. AS was customary in the
household, Mrs. Clark had driven her
husband in their car to the Atlantic
Avenue station of the subway. They
bad departed at S:45.
iceman Discovers Murder
About 10 O'Clock Louis Greenman
who supplies ice to the Clarks, arrived
at the house. The side door, which
gives direct access to the cellar stairs
and indirect access TO the kitchen. was
open. He entered and heard labored
breathing. Opening the door into the
kitchen, he discovered the dying maid.
"A rug had been thrown over her head
Beside her lay towel and its roller
which she or her assailant had pulled
from the wall in the struggle. A coffee
percolator lay on the floor. A trail of
coagulating red drops led to a door
which gives onto the stairs leading to
the second floor, and the knob of the
door was smeared with red.
The iceman saw this in his first
shocked glance. He waited to see nc
more. but ran TO the home of neigh
Dor and notified the police. Within
half an hour the house was swarmine
with police, among them INSPECTOR
Faurot and Captain Arthur Carey, of
the homicide bureau. During the rest
of the day they pursued their quest
vigorously, and announced last night
that promising clews had been found.
Man Seen to Enter House
Miss Katherine Porter, whose home
at 1926 East Twenty-frst Street is the
nearest dwelling to the Clar,;s' house
saw tall. heavy man in army uniform
enter the home of the Clarks after tho
departure of MIR. and Mrs. Clark.
He came about $3.50, Miss Porter
said. She was having breakfast in hen
room up stairs. The space between hel
home and the Clarks' is about 200 feet
The only obstruction to the view from
Miss Porter's window is house that
still is far from completion.
She saw the big stranger in uniform
stride across the vacant lot from the
direction of Twenty first Street. He
looked to her as though he were recon
noitering the Clarks' house, and she
watched his movements. He wore cap
same color. Something distinctive in
the cut of the coat led Miss Porter to

W1e i,,nfna, D,,-,c.,

WASHINGTON, Dec 2O-The White

which is to investigate the bituminous
coal industry and opened the way fol-

forming the appointees that if they fine
it necessary to readiust the price OF
coal they will be given the powers
heretofore exercised by the Fuel Ad
mnistrator The three members OF
the commission are:
Henry M. Robinson, former member
Of the United States Shipping Board;
represents the public.
Rembrandt Peale, an Independent
pennsylvania coal operator; represents
the operators.
John P. White, former president OF
represents the miners.
Both Mr.. Peale and Mr.. White were
connected with the Fuel Administra-
tion under DR.. Garfield Mr. Robinson
is member OF the Presidents second
industrial conference.
All Three Accept Posts
dent Wilson's letter, sent in the same
form to each man, does not give the
exact date on which they will begin
work, but indicates that it will be in
the near future.
Although the President in his letter
says the operators "have generally
agreed" to the plan he proposed for a
settlement, the operators themselves
issued statement tonight denying
they had agreed to any such plan, and
declaring they had not been consulted
about its terms and conditions.
The statement of the operators was
taken to mean that they purpose TO
fight the commission plan as it is now
the commission itself is "packed'
against them. They have no particular
objection to Mr.. White any more than
they might to any other miner and
profess to know little about Mr.. Rob
1nson, but are not satisfied with the
appointment of Mr. Peale as their rep
resentative.
The operators refused to discuss
their plans tonight but it is known
they propose TO carry their case up te
the Pres dent, if possible, and en-
deavor to have him modify the princi-
Piles which are supposed TO govern the
commission.
"Determinative Powers" Opposed
Operators are opposed to the small
size of the commission and to the fact
that it has 'determinative powers" te
fix wages and increase prices on coal
The operators wish this power taker
from the commission. If the President
sees fit to accept their suggestions fol
these changes, the operators will "ge
along and present their case. If the
President does not accept them they
may not do so.
There were some operators here to
night who were understood to be op
