PTOMAINE POISON
 FATAL ID COUPLE
Husband and Wife Dead Two
 Days Before Found

Philadelphia, Jan. 25 LP) - Pto- maine poisoning was advanced by the authorities today as the possible cause of the deaths of MT. and Mrs. John Wilson, whose bodies, seated in chairs facing each other, were found in a bedroom of their home last night.
 Investigation revealed, the police said, that the pair. well fixed iinan- cially and apparently happy, had everything to live for. There was no odor of escaping gas and no signs of violence. Theories of murder and of a suicide pact, at first ad- vanced by some of the Investigators had been abandoned today. The police said, however, that an au- topsy would be necessary to deter mine the cause of the tragedy.
 Wilson and his wife, each about 35 years old, apparently had been dead for two days. They were last seen alive by neighbors on Saturday night when they entertained q party of friends.

tion Tomorrow Evening-Lcague
 to Hold Whist-Grange to Cele-
 brate Anniversary-Other Items.
 The consensus seems to point to- wards the passing of the Sunday movie bill at the special town meet ing to be held next week. Of 25 resi- dents picked at random on the street today, 16 favored the introduction of Sunday movies here and nine were not in favor of passing the bill. While this straw vote possibly is not exactly indicative of the towns opin- ion at the ballot, it shows that a large portion of the public is in favor of the bill.
 Opposition, in the meantime, points out that it is not the question pf Sabbath breaking which brings their opinion to the negative side of the debate: it is chiefly because of the type of movies that this place will get rather than the movies themselves. They state that if cer- tain high class productions such as are being shown in neighboring towns would be shown here, no ob- jection would be aroused but that Berlin is almost sure to get second rate productions.
 A large portion of the affirmative side see no reason for the town meeting being called, stating that the question should lie in the hands of the first selectman. With a bill passed, granting the showing of pro- ductions here, no further jurisdiction could be shown in regards to the movies, they state, outside of the ordinary censorship regulations. If, they claim, the producers of the pie lures insisted upon showing films which were not acceptable, some method of local censorship should be provided by the town fathers. They further point out that certain films which would be permissible in other places would not tend towards the moral improvement of this place.
 It is possible that the two side will reach compromise in the mat ter of supervision of the showings. Unless this compromise is reached, it is generally believed that bitter battle will take place when the moderator pounds the gavel for at- tention at the special meeting next week.
 It is believed that the clergy of the town is organizing an attack of the bill. When the petition was first discussed several weeks ago. local ministers stated that. while they had nothing to say on the subject at that time except that they were not in favor of the bill, some future date would see a more effective form of action. Whether or not this opposi- ton is strong enough to forfend the activities of well planned campaign is the subject of most of the con- versation today. Considerable inter- est has been shown in the project and indications point towards crowded town hall on the fateful evening.
