The coroner finds that the accused and her victim were both morally de- prayed. Dickovislzy. met her when she was IS years old and won her affections to such an extent that he eventually caused her to leave her husband. The finding states, Tt was shown that the wife to enable the victim and herself to live together. was given poison on two occasions by the deceased, together with a load ed revolver, for the purpose of kill ing her husband But although in fatuated with the deceased she failed and refused to carry out his designs Instead she destroyed the poison and returned the Revolver to the deceased at his request.
 It is pointed out by the coroner that the records Of the Board of Charities show the woman told this story about the poison a long time ago and also declared Dtckovisky was the father of her two children. The board started suit against Dick ovtsky to force him to support the children and obtain a decision against him. An appeal was taken to the common pleas court.
 A hearing on this appeal was to be held soon and the coroner finds that the victim had this hearing in mind when he met Mrs. SachcosIy on March 6 and invited her to the Al pine hotel There he urged her to change her testimony when the suit was tried again and to deny her pre- vious story that he had tried to in duce her to Kill her husband.
 When the woman refused, .Dicko- vosl1y took 2, revolver from his pocket and pointing it at her exclaimed, You die or I die" He became so excited that he dropped the revolver and the woman picked it up She reueated to the coroner of the room. Then Dickovosky arose from the chair. locked the door and advanced toward the woman, demanding that she return The pistol to him
 The coroners report reads: His locking of the door, his attitude and features as he approached her were such that she said to him, I'll cry out. I'll shoot So alarmed was she fo rher personal safety that when he came within five feet of the place where she was standing she pulled the trigger and shot him in the throat and as he fell upon the floor and t5tr1ggrg5ecl near her she shot again, the bullet striking him behind the left ear.
 Under the circumstances am of the opinion from the evidence taken, fari1y establishing the above facts, that the woman in the situation

Great Britain and the Allies placed' contracts for four ton Riker Trucks amounting to over ten million dollars, and the balance of the truck con tracts placed by the United States government, amounting to more than sixteen million were for three ton Riker trucks.
 Contracts for the tank amounted to over twenty million. This was the forty ton, forty foot model, the lergest tank used and was developed by the Locomobue Go. In the man. ufacture and on the testing grounds. this hugh tank had all the character istics of the small Whippet type. It moved with rapidity. performed its work with great efficiency, climbed steep grades. and overcame natural and artificial obstacles found on test. In the field test, 1t moved down trees, buried stone walls, stood at all times under excellent control and moved forward or backwards with equal ease, The radius of action was forty miles, and 1t developed a speed at high gear of eight miles an hour. The tanks were undergoing 8 course of speedy production when the armisttce was signed.
 The Liberty Motor accepted by the government as being the standard type, was another form of war activi- ties In which the company was en- gagsd. Contracts amounting to about fourteen million were placed for these motors and work was pro- gressing rapidly when the war end ed.
 The conpany's success in turning out 50 rapidly ats products on preYt- olr5 contracts was instrumental in the Government placing its orders for tanks and later the Liberty motor. II developed that dn spite of the great volume of war contracts. there was nc material plant expansion and no addi- tion to the inventory. This is condd- cred by officials of the company as being a very satisfactory situation and one that warrants an optimistic euttiturde in the automobile trade.
 It Is furfsasr stated thet while the war has now terminated and cancel lations have come Hnrough quite rap idly on the war contracts, the com J.:ay Is working out all of the solu- tionA of the various suspensions ant finds that a surplus Of stock Is on hand Regardless of the fact that the company is in the motor car produc- ton there Is no intention of adding to the present inventory. It Is further reported that the I4oooTnobile com panys passenger car and truck bus mess shows a heavy increase and that the turnover from @ war to a commercial production Is being car- T1ed on in a very satisfactory manner

SENATOR CLARK
 ON WARRENITF

Senator Clark said, to the sena- tors, when offering his amendment to the bonding bill: The object of this amendment is to stop con tracting by favoritisIn. Bridge port has expended very large sums for a patented pavement. All con tractors except the favored one have been excluded, the mayor having in all cases waived bidding. I am informed that small towns, buying in less quantities. have ob talned a better price for this ma teriaI than Bridgeport has obtain ed. I am informed by competent authority that Bridgeport can build as good a pavement for about half the price"

Senator George B. Clark, knowing the contest to be vain, nevertheless gave the legisla- ture a sharp reminder, yester- day, of the sort of finance that is carried on in Bridgeport.
 When the bonding bill came up, he opposed it, and offered an amendment which was des- ignated to prevent any further disgraceful Warrenite sean daIs.
 Senator Bartlett was absent when the bill was voted on. Senator De- Laney opposed the amendment.
 Senator CIark's amendment was to Section 8 of the bill, which section provided $1 OoO, 900 five year, five per cent. pavement bonds, to be used for laying pavement "other than water bound nacadam."
 The amendment was as follows But the avails of said bond issue shall not be used to construct any pavement for which the city is not itself the contractor, unless the con- tract for said pavement has been let in competition after the usual man. ner and the competition shall be ar ranged so as to confine the bidding to any exclusive or patented pavement.
 The bill provides for the appoint ment of an advisory committee of nine members. The issue of bonds requires the approval of the Common Council and of this committee. The bonds are to bear interest at per cent. The total issues are compre- hended in the box which accompanies this article
