Conservative private business. in.
terests, which are associated with
the gas, electric, street railway and
railroad companies, generally are en-
ragged by CouzenG' attacks on their
activities. Their fury was unleashed
when, soon after he became senator.
IN an address before the washington
Chamber Of Commerce he denounced
the practice OF private ownership.
They are now very much aroused
and anxious to defeat him, becarSe
they say he, az q business man,
should have been the very last to
suggest the public utility corpora.

file the win she executed before
marriage, leaving the estate to
her relatives and friends.
Suspicion came ID Webb like d
thundercIap, eaid Mr.. Kingsbury.
'.All this story cf poison has been
made up out Of whole cloth by
some unknown who has no ground
for such talk. Some time ago
Mrs. Webb began renovation Of her
country home and worked so hard
that she began to feel tired and
worn out. Her eyes began to be
troublesome and she called In q
specialist. He suggested that her
ocular disorder might have re-
suited from kidney trouble.
Treated At Hospital.
ION his advice Mrs. Webb went
treated for five days by DIR. Daven-
port, following which DR.. West
urged complete rest.
Accompanied by her husband,
Mrs. Webb went to the Westchester-
Biltmore, where she began to re-
cover her strength, when she de-
veloped q heavy cold. She had no
sooner recovered from this cold
than she came down with pneumonia.
This illness was aggravated by
her kidney trouble and a weakened
heart, the natural result OF having
been III 20 long. Weakened In body,
she was unable to throw off the
pneumonia and the other disorders,
with the result that she died.
As far as the autopsy was con-
cerned, Il was performed without the
knowledge Of Mr.. Webb. Mr.. Webb
has nothing to conceal. He wants
the facts disclosed in the case. He
was happy to learn that the autopsy
showed that there had been no metal
lie poisoning. Mr.. and Mrs. Webb
lived very happily
Mrs. Webb's mother and relatives
were opposed to Webb. After her
marriage Mrs. Webb Stunned her
old friends.
Kingsbury and friends OF Webb's
asserted today there was nothing
to the poison theory" Kingsbury
said Webb was not consulted about
the autopsy and knew nothing OF
1t till IL was over. Other friends
Of the husband said the whole az
fair was the result OF "a family
feud, dating back for years"
William T., Hunter, of Devon,
Pa, uncle of Mrs. Webb, who was
instrumental In forcing the autopsy,
was In New York today to attend
the funeral. Relations between
Webb and Hunter are said to have
been strained for some time.

The still, with a capacity OF 1000
gallons day, was dismantled to-
day. Five hundred gallons OF
alleged denatured alcohol and three
gallons Of grain alcohol were seized.
Police say the plant was used for
distilling denatured alcohol into
grain alcohol. Huge iron tanks,
containing denatured alcohol. were
found and several score cartons
with tin cans to ship the stuff In
were found.
The main portion Of the dis
filling apparatus was found on the
second floor. The large tanks,
each Of which was taller than the
average man, were found connected
up. On the first floor there was a
large boiler that was used to fur
nish steam for the distilling.
1t was this boiler which caused
the walls OF the warehouse to be.
come hot and warn the people next
door that a fire might break out.
A large Vestibule in the rear per-
mitted trucks to drive up and
load and unload without being
