That Italy and France will pro-
pose through their naval experts
on the subcommittee now examin-
ing the Hughes proposals that they
be authorized to increase instead
OF decreasing their navies is con-
sidered a certainty. During the war
Eeither nation was able to construct
any capital ships and the general
naval program was sidetracked in
order that the man power of the
armies could be augmented to the
highest possible notch. Now, how
ever. both nations believe that they
should be afforded opportunity OF
constructing at least one modern
warship SO that the great disparity
between their navies and those OF
other nations would not be SC
great. This matter will be deter
mined by the subcommittee OF
which Col. Roosevelt is the chair
man and a definite recommendation
made to the full committee.

Mysterious Last Illness of
Mrs. Mary M. Leonard
is Investigated.
TWO MEN ARRESTED
Vito SceleriO and Jerry SceleriO
Held Pending Post MOrtem
Examination.

To determine whether or not an al
legged soft drink, given to her, was
the cause of the death of Mrs. Mary
Melissa Leonard, who died Thursday
night at her home at 500 Garden
street after an illness which baffled
physicians, a post norton examlna-
ton was held this morning at the
Hansen Mortuary on Park avenue.
Meanwhile Vito Scolerio and his broth
err, Jerry Scolerio, the owners OF the
soft drink parlor at the corner of
Maplewood avenue and Garden street,
are under arrest and arc being held
pending an investigation into the al
fair.
The investigation into the death
started on Friday afternoon at four
o'clock when DR.. A. L. Christofferson,
the attending physician, refused to

Parker started probe into the cause
of the woman's death.
tainted After Drink.
| The investigation revealed that on
last Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Leonard
and her daughter, Avis, had gone to
the ice cream parlor owned by the
Scolerios. They had bought and eat
en- some ice cream and as they started
to leave the place, the wamon made
some mention about being i'll. She
had been in California for several
months and while there had lost more
than fifty pounds and was in a very
! moor nhVsicial condition
Scolerio according to the investiga-
ton, offered the woman and he1
daughter a drink of some kind which
which it was thought might help her
illness. Both the woman and her
daughter drank glass of the, potion
offered to them. Whatever it was, ii
went Immediately to Mrs. Leonard's
head and she fell over on the floor
in a faint. She was hurried to her
home where she temporarily revived
but after two days illness died. The
daughter. Avis, also drank q glass OF
the potion but was not at all affected
by it.

DR.. Christofferson was called to at
tend the woman early Thursday morn
ing. She had revived partially from
the effects of the potion but due to
her weakened condition was still SER

she suffered relapse Thursday even

The investigation was started in the
belief that the drink might have acct

or that it might have been an intoX
icating drink of some kind. The dis
trict attorney was informed of the
case and at his direction, the police
on Friday afternoon raided the store
of Scolerio but found no wine or liz
uor of any kind. Pending investiga
ton of the case and because they re
fused to divulge any information re
garding the fai2ting episode, the tive
men were arrested.
