But Brande- gees yriaa prevented. ss ~eli aJ his difhculty-the result of long breeding over his sroubles-to look st fbe mat ter sanely and calmly Weeks and Harvey interested themselves in Brandezees worries not only because they were his friends but because the move had been suggested to them by higher official in the government who had learned of the Senators difficulty.
 !; is sad by the closest zhington friend Of the Senator that be lived go much alone and brooded SO much of late that he had what the man termed 'hailucinations." His judgment had become cl8uded Indeed Frank Bran deees had gos 10 imagining that people he passed talking together were dis cussing his troubles and were scOrning him. Such an imagined situation his intense pride and sensitiveness could not tolerate. The path he took was 10 him better than the bankruptcy he foolishiy dreaded. said his friend.
 Such is the argument ef tho7e wh1 envIsage money trouble as the cause of the suicide. Moreover. his own doctor stated this week that his health was not the cause for his act.
 Feared Csneeroua Growth
 On the other hand, an intimate Connecticut friend of his here for the funeral, said he had been told that a New York specialist had told Brande- gee of eancerous growth in his throat. Moreover. Senator Moses of New Hampshire believes in the cancer theory. In this connection it may be mentioned that visitors to the house after the suicide noted on the mantle of the Senator's study a throat spray in recent use.
 It is recalled that the Senator's sis ter died of cancer after four years of suffering, and that the Senator was with her all that time. If he had been told he had cancer he knew what to expect, it Is said.
 All persons talked with here this week unite in the courage that Frank BrandeRee displayed in public life. Mr Holden tells, during the war. of going with the Senator to Secretary Of War Baker. Brandegee said to Baker. When you formulate your program just let me know and l will guarantee the Republicans in the Sen ate will stand back of it." His love for country and our institutions and traditions are intense, added Holden.
 Holden also told how last spring. the last time he saw his friend, Bran degee said to him: Ben. when you % home you had better tell the boys to get some one to run for the Senate I'm through Later Brandegee added: "sI am glad have lived the last fifty years instead of the next fifty years" He distrusted what seemed to him the present tendency to unjustly and bit- terlv criticize public officials and the dishonesty exhibited in government.
 GRIFFIN.
 Senator Brandgee, who committed suicide in his Washington home on Tuesday. was buried today at New London. his home town. Burial fol- lowed services at St. James Episco- pal church. A special train of six ears carried the body and mourners to New London.
