Belforte Now Has Office At
 His Residence

Edward I. Belforte, an employment agent of the State Highway Division, has removed his office from the Relief department of the Charities depart ment to nis home at 112 Madison avenue. From now on MT. Belforte will choose his men for work on state roads and will not take any men that happen to come along as has been his custom in the past.
 He states that he is out $40 be- cause of the failure of men to go to the work assigned to them. In every case he would take the gang of men from Bridgeport to various sections of the state and would accompany them. In the last three cases the men arrived at their destinations and deserted him. MT. Belforte had this happen to him several times and now hc has reached the end Some of the young men he took on state road jobs up state broke all the windows in the bunk houses and caused no end Of trouble to their employers, it is said.
 This is a poor way to thank their employers, MT. BeIforte thinks, and now he has given orders to take only seasoned men who really want to work.

Attempts Life; Found Gasping
 In His Office

In an attempt to end his life last night, Harry R. Ginsberg, vice-president of the Eastern Furniture Sales Co.,, Inc, with offices in the Meigs building drank the contents of an iodine vial and is now in St. Vincent's hospital in a serious condition.
 Help! Poison!" came a voice over a telephone from Room 30S of the Meigs Building last night between and 6:3o o'clock to the operator in the telephone exchange. She notified pr. R. c. Speiser, dentist, with offices in the northern end of the building. who rushed with the janitor to the room, forcibly opened the door and found Ginsberg. clutching his throat and in a dying condition sitting in a swivel chair.
 The empty iodine vial was on his desk and the liquid was streaming from his mouth. Ginsberg was una ble to talk. Dr. Speiser rendered first aid and summ oned the Emergency ambulance.
 No Motive Given.
 No motive was given for the at- tempted suicide btu it is believed that Ginsberg's company may have been involved in money losses and that Ginsberg may have brooded over these matters to the point where he desired to end his life. He rents desk space in Room 30S which is occupied by H. Kramer & Co.,, dealers in four H. Bernstein is listed as manager of the concern. GinSberg's corlpany deals in wholesale furniture and has home offices at WatertoWn, N. Y
 No light could be shed on the mat ter today and room 3O8 was locked Through the door could be seen many footsteps on thy oiIcIoth floor. The bottle of iodine was large sized and contained enough iodine to kill a man. After emptying the contents of the vial Ginsberg is said to have Jumped from his chair, crying with pain and to have thrown the telephone on the floor.
 In his agony he crfef for help. The operator on the other end of the wire heard his cries and notified help. The door of the office was locked and only few lights were burning at the time.
 As soon as medical aid arrived stomach pump was used and Ginsberg was given starch solution to counter act the poison. The Office in which he attempted to end his life is on the third floor of the building, facing Fairfield avenue. At the time hun dreds of people were on the streets on their way to their homes.

Extra Grant
 For Memorial
 Day Exercises

At the meeting of the Board Of Apportionment held this morning at City Hall an additional $510 was given to the United Patriotic societies to add to the $1,9OO already given for the Memorial Day exercises. The or iginaI amount asked for the exercises was $2, 500 which was reduced by the board to $1 300.
 At a meeting Of the finance commit tee of the society held last night 1t was shown that the money appro- priated was not sufficient. William Lounsbury appeared before the board this morning and presented the cause of the society stating that If the board did not furnish the amount necessary to make the deficit between the amount allotted and $2,400 the amount required. the society would have to make subscription cam paign to make the required amount.
 No action was taken by the board on the matter of payment to be made or the supplies obtained but not paid for last year. A letter from the city attorney to the effect that sufficient data had not been forwarded him to be able to det ermine what the method of procedure should be to pay the bills, was read by some of the mem bers of the board but the matter did not come up for action.

 Death Of Girl

William L. Davis, of the Nichols dis trict of Trunbull, Is not held crimin- ally responsible for the death of his daughter, Jennie, 20, who died in Bridgeport hospitaI, April 22. as the result of injuries received while riding in her fathers automobile the previous day.
 Davis and his daughter were pro ceeding to their respective places of employment in Bridgeport at $40 a. m.. and when at a point near Myers garage on Huntington road, attempt ed to pass to the left of an automo- bile travelling ahead of them in the same direction.
 Davis claims that he sounded his horn. and then started to pass, be- lievtng the car ahead would give him more room. The driver of the other machine, however, failed to hear the horn sounded.
 Davis turned over to the left so far that his left wheels struck the soft part of the road and when he at tempted to turn to the right and again reach the center of the thor ougbfare the left rear axle broke, throwing the car upside down in the center of the road, pinning the girl under the machine, and infiicting fa- tai injuries.

Cork Aroused Over Murder
 Of McMaholls

Dublin, April 29-The staying of several prominent citizens of Cork yesterday has aroused a sensation here equal to that caused when sev- era1 members of the family of Owen MacMahon were killed in Belfast last month.
 The full story of the outrages is still lacking; especially the one in which either Rev. Richard Harbord of the Murragh rectory, or his son. was the victim. Several reports agree that the son was the one killed but none relates the circumstances.
 It is widely believed here that the murders were intended in reprisal for the MacMahon killings or rather for the impunity with which their authors remain at large as many southerners have voiced the conv1c- tion that the MacMahons were killed by members of the special police.
