Hartford, Conn. July 3 P,-Ons man is dead as the result of a fire in the Hartford Retreat for the In- sane at 3:37 o'clock this morning.

Anti-Saloon League Figures Show s7,00O,OOO Expended in 22 States in Six Ycars-Hobson, Bryan and Willis All Paid Well.

Washington, July 8 Pl-Taking is- sue with Wayne B. Wheeler, Repre- sentative Hill, republican. Maryland, has branded as absolutely false" a statement made by the Ant-Saloon league counsel before the senate campaign funds committee that he had received money for making anti prohibition speeches.
 Hill had clerk read a letter ad- dressed to Chairman Reed of the committee in which he offered too appear "to show that this is an ut ter and probably deliberate misstate- ment."
 T have never received a penny in my life for making any speeches against prohibition" Hill told his colleagues. T have never received, either politically or personally. a penny from the association against the prohibition amendment, but, on the contrary have been an annual contributor to it's treasury for the past five years"
 New Source Of Information
 Dr Ernest H. Cherrington, general secretary of the Anti Saloon league, today provided a new source of in formation for the senate campaign funds committee in it's investigation of the activities Of the Anti-Saloon league and other organizations ac- tive in political and legislative af- fairs.
 He was summoned to supplement the testimony of Wayne E. Wheeler, general counsel and legislative agent of the league, and to explain some of the yoluminous data brought back from its national headquarters at Westeryille, Ohio, by the commit tees agents.
 Five-Hour Hearing
 Decision 10 proceed along this line in this phase of it's investigation was disclosed by the committee yester- day after Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, the chairman, and Wheel CT, again on the witness stand, had wrestled in the warm hearing room for five hours over their conflicting viewpoints and masses of figures out of the leagues records.
 Dry speeches Paid
 These figures revealed expendi- lures by the national and state leagues amounting to s7.0O0,0O0 in 22 states in the last six years, and included details of "honorariums" paid 10 a number of widely known men for prohibition speeches includ- ing S171,294 to Richmond Pearson Hobson, hero of the Merrimac and former member of congress, over a period Of nine years beginning in 1914; S11,000 10 w. J. Bryan in 1919, and $1.200 to Frank B. Willis be- fore he became a senator from Ohio.
 Insertion in the record of a list of contributors who gave more than $500 was blocked however, by ob- jections from Wheeler pending a conference on the subject with the full committee.
 Night Session
 A brief excursion was made at the night session into the congressional campaign chests of the republican and democratic national committees and in the meantime, incidents in the
