REPORT BRANDEGEE OWED A MILLION
New York World Prints Story Of Senator's Finances

SAs New York World today, in . special dispatch from Washington, printed the following details as to the financial affairs of the lste sen- ator Brandegee:
 According to friends of the late Senator Frank B. Brandegee of Con- necticut, his liabilities at the time of his death by suicide were in excess of s1,0o0,oo0, with the exact amount unlikely ever to become known because of the desire of some holders and indorsers of his paper to escape publicity by pocketing their losses. 'i''t'. '
 'The amount of Brandegee paper in the hands of banks, secured by real estate or other collateral, Is quite large, but those close to him say the amount held by wealthy friends in and out of pubic life or indorsed is much larger, In some in- stances exceeding s100,00o. -
 Turned Down by Friends.
 It is also stated by friends of Brandegee that when his troubles became most pressing, his appeals for help to wealthy Connecticut men, who had been the recipients of favors at his hands, met with re- fusals. 4 E,a.(..
 He was, one of his friends said today. turned down cold by men who by all rules of the game should have helped
 The senator's notes are said to be scattered through the house and senate, with member of the lower house and. a former senator, now resident in Washington, the largest losers. It was when these felt they could go no farther that his finan- cial situation became critical.
 All Realty Encumbered.
 "A preliminary survey of the sen- ator's affairs discloses that his l street home, where he lived almost a recluse and took his life by inhaling gas, stands in the name of local bank under a loan of s150,000. Il also appears that he owned but It. tie real estate in Washington, all of which was mortgaged. His hold ings of 1000 acres in Montgomery County, Md, are also said to be heavily encountered.
 Some of the senator's Intimate friends say he had occasionally re. marked in casual way that he in- tended to take his own life when he believed his end to be near. He dreaded Illness and incapacity and felt suicide would offer a logical escape. This, his friends say, wal a part of his philosophy.
 "They are convinced that com bination of financial difficulties, fail ing health with dread of cancer from which his sister died. ant melancholy induced by his solitary mode of life led him to kill him. self"

BEGIN ANEW ON SELECTING
 EAST END SCHOOL SITE
Accommodations Committee to Have Another Survey of District Made
 By Supt. Holmes

After many adjourned meetings, deadlocks and debates over the choice of school site in the east end, the committee on school ac- commodations decided at its meeting in the Walnut Hill school last night to begin all over again and take an- other survey of that section of the city. The Pleasant Manor site, which was favorably acted upon by the school board several weeks ago, proved unsatisfactory to many of the members. called forth an objec- ton from Mayor A. M, Paonessa, and, a clinching argument against its purchase, became totally unavail- able through the expiration of op- tions on several of the lots and their sale to other parties, The Lincoln Realty Co. cannot deliver these lots now, and the Smith-D' Angelo tract, the only alternative hitherto consid- cred, has also been the object of criticism. "...
 The mayor was present. at yester- days meeting, having been invited to further explain the stand he took in a recent letter addressed to the board, in which he placed himself on record as opposed to both sites un- der consideration. He told the com mittee that better location could be found farther south, below Kel- sey street, pointing out that a suit able site could be obtained near Stanley and Ellis streets. There al- ready is one school on East street, he said, and he claimed that the site he mentioned was more logical. The enlargement of the Smith school to cope with the Increased number of children in the district was also con- sidered, but no action was taken on it.
 Superintendent s. H. Holmes was | authorized to make a survey of the southeastern section Of the city to obtain data on the school population there, and until this tsurvey is com- pleted, the committee will take no further action.

Sensible Method of
Removing Wrinkles

If crows feet appear prematurely
about the eyes. apply lotion made by
dissolving an ounce of saxolite in a
half pint of witch hazeh This is the
best. understanding treatment known,
as it tends to restore normal condi-
tons. 1t tightens and strengthcns
the skin, likewise the underlying tissue,
the loosening and softening Of which
are the cause of wrinkled condition.
1t also has a tonic effect, which not
only aids in the same direction but,
by. improving capillary circulation
helps bring healthy color to the face.
The same solution, acting as it does,
naturally affects not only every
wrinkle and line, but hanging or flabhy
cheeks and chin, as well. When your
face wears a tired expression, battle 1t
with this refreshing, reyivifying liquid.
Ask druggist for powdered saxolite.

They Are Less Able to
Take Care of Themselves,
Says Charities Secretary:
Annual Rports Shows Vol
ume of Business Done
During the Year.

According 10 the annual report of
the Associated Charities, from April
|. 1928, to April /, 1924, unmarried
mon are moro helpless than single
women, as the list handled by the as
sociation shows that 26I unmarried
men were given charity in 1923. as
compared with the IL single women
who were clients of the charities dur.
ing the same period OF time.
Miss Mabel Ferguson, executive sec
rotary of the Associated Charities.
stated that one reason for this is that
women can be placed in homes. for
work as hOusemaids or cooks. in
cases of necessity. while men must be
given a living if they are out of work
and are unable to find jobs. Another
reason. Miss Ferguson stated. is be-
cause of the fact that San Antonio
receives many drifters during the
course of a year, and these wanderers
are seldom married men.
Women usually can take care of
themselves. however. Miss Ferguson
stated. 1t is very unusual for us to
give outright charity TO single women
or girls. They are remarkably indie
pendent"

of tubercular clients was 211 for
1923.

there being 1881 cases of Americans
as compared with 1915 Mexicans. 60

wdowers: 203 separated : 9S divorced /;
i46 deserted wives: sixteen common
law wives: A single women, and 267
single men.
Deserted wives have lately become
very frequent. the number amounting
10 many more than the charities han
died last year.

2213 for the current year. There
were 3139 office interviews. and 1877
kilograms were sent in regard to chart
