C., in the courss patriotic banquet of Bishop Tierney assembly, Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus, at the Burrltt hotel last night. The statement was made in connection with the speakers dis cussion of forces which are trying to disrupt the government.

BERLIN GETS CONTROL
 OF BUILDING LINES
Also Receives Authority to Issue Permits for Con-
 structiOn.
Special to the Herald.)

Hartford, Feb. 25.--A bill to au- thorize the town of Berlin to con- trol building lines and issue build ing permits passed the house today after three-cornered fight in which there was a difference of opinion between Representative Av- erill of Branford, and Representa- tive Peck of Bristol, with Majority Leader B. w. Alling of New Britain taking sides with Averill.
 Representative Averill had just completed reading report of the judiciary committee recommending adoption of the bill, when Repre- sentative Peck introduced an amendment and began an explana- tion. Representative Alling raised a point of order, claiming all amendIaents must be submitted In writing.s Speaker Darbie agreed the point was well taken and the bill was tabled to allow Peck to write his amendment. When this formal ity had been compiled with, Peck read his proposal which stipulated that the town must pay compensa- ton for confiscated lands, etc. The Branford representative reminded him that the constitution of the state of Connecticut takes care of this provision.
 Representative Peck said his only interest was to clarify the bill.
 Judge filling told the house he has enough confidence in the town of Berlin to feel certain the law will be complied with, and he moved a vote on the amendment. The amendment was lost and the bill as introduced by Representative Aver ill was carried.

Doctors Agree Death Was From Natural Causes But Disagree on Either Hemor-
 rhages or Heart Dis- ease.
Was to Have Retired on March 4-Wife Almost Frustrated by Shock But Is Fastening From Chi cagO.

Washington. Feb. 25.--Senator Medill Mccormick of Illinois was found dead in his hotel apartment here today under circumstances which led physicians to disagree as to the cause of death.
 The doctor who made the first examination of the body issued a certificate giving internal hemor. rhage as the cause of death, but the coroner later held that the sen ator had been a victim of heart dis ease.
 Both agreed that the death was due to natural causes, and that the senator had passed away almost without warning while he was alone in his apartment.
 Physicians who were summoned after the locked door of the apart ment had been taken down, issued certificate of death by natural causes, resulting from internal hem orrhage and probable hemorrhage of the brain.
 Death Instantaneous.
 The body, clothed in pajamas, was found in bed. one hand clasped across the mouth as though he had sought to arise when the bleeding came upon him, and had fallen back. The physicians said death must have been instantaneous.
 MT. Mccormick had been living alone at the hotel. Mrs. Mccormick, daughter of Mark Hanna, was in Chicago, where she went to be near Alice Roosevelt Longworth at the time of the birth of the Longworth baby. The families had been close friends for many years.
 Retired Early.
 Last night Senator Mccormick re- tired early, and as he always slept lightly, hotel attaches declined 10 waken him when caller sought ad- mittance at Il p. m. This morning at S:30 he was heard moving about his room, but efforts to arouse him at II a. m. proved futile. The door then was taken down and physicians called in, who said he had been dead tor about an hour.
 Although MT. Mccormick appar- ently had been in fair health. some of his friends said today that he had been greatly depressed by po- litlcal developments of the last few | months.
 Defeated For Nomination.
 Last summer he was defeated for renorhination for the senate and was to have gone out of office March 4. Since his defeat his name had been brought forward for a diplomatic post and his confidants today said he first had hoped to be named ambas- sador to Great Britain, a post already 1 filled, and then had aspired to the i (Continued on Page 1S,)

The most fitting manner of cele-
brating the holiday is to reflect upon
the qualities, the services and the ex-
ample of Washington as a soldier,
president patriot and citizen. Ger
tainly national holidays should be
spent in part in contemplation of the
great men whose lives were and are
an inspiration to the millions of av-
erage citizens.
Washington was proclaimed by his
contemporaries to be first in war and
in peace, chiefly because he obeyed
the still small voice Of conscience
and employed his exceptional gifts
in the service of his country and his
fellowmen. To admire Washington
sincerely is to admire unselflshness
rectitude, nobility, courage, per.
severance and faith. and properly to
admire those attributes is to endeav
