PROBE STRANGE
DEATH OF TWO
IN WOODBRIDGE
Aged Man and Younger
Woman Found Dead in
Iselin Bungalow
DEAD SINCE TUESDAY
Police Believe Death Was Ac-
cidental-Try to Find
Relatives of Couple
DEAD SINCE TUESDAY

WOODBRIDGE, Feb. 21.-Con-
siderable mystery surrounds the
death of Charles Upsinger, seventy
nine years old and Elsie West thirty
eight years old, of Iselin, both of
whom were found this morning in
the kitchen of their small bungalow
asphyxiated from gas. The Wood
bridge police authorities have started
an investigation of the case.
According to Information supplied
by the police, the man and woman
have been dead apparently since
Tuesday night, when they were last
seen by Mrs. A. s. Saydi. the neigh
Dor. Mrs. Saydi told the police that
she saw the couple on Tuesday as
they entered the house. She failed
to see them yesterday and this morn
ing thought she would find cut
where they were. When she glanced
through the window. she saw their
bodies lay stretched on the floor.
Officer Lewis was sent to the scene
at once. He found the gas pouring
from a three-burner gas range with
a pot of coffee on top. From a ten
tative investigation, 1t is believed
that the two had forgotten to close
the gas jets after having prepared
Tie tOAct.
The man and woman came to Ise-
lin, neighbors say, about four or five
months ago and occupied together
the bungalow 1t is believed that
they came from New York City and
have relatives there. The police were
making an effort to communicate
with them today.
The bodies of both have been re-
moved to the undertaking establish
ment of r. A. Hirner pending arrival
of the relatives.
The woman's right name is Elsie
Meneer and not Elsie West under
which she was known. The police
have also learned that Upsinger was
working in New York and commut-
ed from Iselin to the metropolis
daily.
There is no doubt in the mind of
the police that the asphyxiation was
accidental. "They placed the coffee
on the burner, the coffee pot boiled
over, put the gas light out, just as
the two were doing off" is the po-
lice theory.

MELLON ANSWERS QUINN
IN ATTACK ON BONUS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Secre-

made in an address here last night

nothing about any activities of cor

against the soldiers bonus. Mr.. Mel
lon added that he had not contrib

Mr.. Quinn, although declaring 81

severed his connection with all pri-

"coerced" employees to oppose the
bonus, and that through these chan

Plan to Lay Before County
New information in Pub
lie Inquiry
IN THE OIL LEASE PROBE
Oil Committee, Having Heard
Stock Testimony, Will
Meet Again Monday

WASHINGTON Feb. 21.-Having
failed to induce President Coolidge
to irnm ediately remove Attorney
General Daugherty from office, Mr..
Daugherty's critics in the senate to-
day laid out a plan of campaign
which they predicted would force
him to resign.
Preparations were made to lay be-
fore the country in a public inquiry
new information and charges that
recently have reached the ears of the
senators, and to make ever clearer
the belief of Republican senate lead
ers that the attorney general should
no longer be permitted to sit in the
cabinet.
1t was revealed today that much OF
the material collected by those op-
posing Mr.. Daugherty, as wen as
much of the data gathered by indl-
yidual senators in the oil inquiry,
has been withheld in the hope that
the President voluntarily would clear
his administration of those who
recently have been attacked by con-
gress.
Among other things, a special IN
vestigator has reported to at least
one senator that the namefof a capl-
net official appears among those
listed as having purchased Sinclair
oil stock. This development mas
been reportedto the oil committee.
What attitude President Coolidge
NAV have taken toward the report
that a member of his official family
dealt in oil stocks remains mys-
terry. Those who have discussed 1t
with him refuse to make any state
ment ofhis opinions or hi sintentions
and White House officials likewise de-
cline to comment In some other
administration quarters, however, it
is known to be the view that no
inherent wrong can be established
from the mere fact of a stock IN
vestment by a public official, so long
as there is no proof that confidential
official information was the basis for
the purchase. Should a public accu-
sation be made, the defense is ex-
pected to follow these lines.
Officials who take this attitude
follow the reasoning of Senator Ell
kins, Republican, West Virginia, who
said yesterday that although he had
bought and sold stock, he Hkls con-
scious of no wrongdoing. His trad
ing, he said. had been on the same
basis as that of men engaged in all
branches of industry who depend on
fortunate investments to preserve
and increase their capital.
After hearing Harry Payne Whit
ney of New York, friend of Harry +.
Sinclair, for a short time yesterday.
the committee adjourned with no in
dication that it would meet again
until it resumes the investigation
Monday. Its work, meanwhile, is

suitable for use on nainsook. dimity,
long cloth or crepe underwear.
Torchon lace is usually made from
linen thread, and sometimes, though
not often, from cotton. 1t is much
heavier than val lace and is suit
able for use on muslin, long cloth or
cambria underwear.
Cluny lace is still heavier than tor
chon. Some kinds are, in fact, too
heavy for underwear; but you will
make no mistake in selecting the
finer kinds for use on muslin or cam
brio lingerie.
Irish lace, too, is heavy, and is
suitable only when your garments are
to be of long cloth, cambria or muslin.
Filet, a more versatile lace, comes
in both heavy and light weight va
rietieS. It's square mesh makes 1t a
dainty and effective finish for under
wear of long cloth, nainsook or dim
ity. If you crochet this filet lace
yourself, it will probably be a mis-
take to use it on your underwear.
Such handmade filet lace is more suit
able for pieces of household linen
than it is for wearing apparel, as 1t
is, ordinarily, quite coarse.
Whether it's your delectable crepe
kimono or your tailored "undies" of
handkerchief linen, you will find, by
examining the store counters, that
there's a lace for every type of lin
gerie, and discriminating buying is
just as much called for here as in any
other purchase you make.

New Draped Veil Covers the Face
by MARY MARSHALL.

American women used to have the
Reputation of being better able to ad-
Just veil than anv other women in
the world. Not only could they ad-
Just veil about a hat, but they
could do it in such a way that it re-
manned in place, making definitely
Tor smartness in street costume.
Even French women conceded this
Ito American women. In Paris streets
american women could be spotted by
the neat arrangement of their wells
II there hadn't been some dozen or
SO other ways of telling an American
from a! European at first sight.
Then Paris took wells away from
US. At least during the war French
women set the fashion of wearing
race wells less often than had for
merly been the custom.
Wells as we see them now are much
more complicated and ambitious than
they were before the war. The fact is,
as France now conceives of a veil it
IS not something to be put on a hat
and taken off at random. 1t is part
and parcel of the hat. The draping of
1T is not something to be left to the
amateurish hands of any woman not
an expert, be she ever so neat and
precise
Perhaps one thing that has brought
about the change is the fact that
wells themselves have become more
and more pretentious. They had to
be taken seriously. They have chal
lenged the milliners with their
tempting possibilities of graceful
drapery
To be sure. the small face veil is
still worn, though women have not
the same need for it that they had
before the days of bobbed hair. This
veil is given a free adjustment, never
drawn SO close as to press against
the face.
Side drapery of wells is still preva-
lent and shows no sign of waning.
