Shoots Self With Civil War
PistoI-Was III Long.

While her mother and a trained
nurse sat on the front porch of the
house where they were staying, Mrs.
Cameron Burnside, an artist and wife
Of the well known painter, locked her
self in her room and shot herself
through the heart with an old Civil
War pistol late yesterday.
About 4:30 the two women on the
porch. Mrs. Lucy Hit. the mother.
and Miss Bertha Adams, the nurse,
heard sharp report, but. thinking it
came from the street, paid no atten-
ton to it. AT the same time a dog
howled. Two hours later, Mrs.
Daniel Boyle. jr., at whose home, at
1901 Ingomar street, Mrs. Burnside
was staying, returned home and
knocked at her door. There was no
answer.
After repeated knocks Mrs. Boyle
called Dr. Louis Mackall and together
they broke the door down. Mrs.
Burnside was lying face upward on
the floor and the pistol. nearly foot
long, was on the other side of the
bed.

Burnside has been in i'll health for
some time. She was too Ill to accom-
pany her husband when he went to
Paris several months ago, and re-
Gently had suffered great deal, she
said She had not seemed like her
self lately and for the past two days
had kept almost entirely to herself,
Mrs. Boyle said.
Burnside has been notified of the
tragedy by cable. He Is working on
some paintings which are to be eX-
hibited in Paris in January. and it is
believed doubtful If he will be able
to return to Washington.

SENATOR'S ANGERED BY COOLIDGE DIET
Question His Authority to Con-
 trol Foreign Loans by Bankers
BY GEORGE H. MANNING

l l ("ashington Bureau Of the N. B. Herald Washington, D. C., Oct. 20-There is going to be a big rumpus in the senate when congress meets unless the Coolidge administration before 1 then shows some evidence Of inten- 1 ton to abandon it's practice Of is- suing official announcement on the 1 desirability of American privat te bankers making loans to foreign na- lions CT foreign industrial corpora tions.
 The declaration Of Senator Carter Glass of Virginia that the practice is not only eXtralegal, but actually un- constitutional, is certain to be talk en up by the democrats in the sen- ate, Some of the constitutional law yers among the republicans may also take hand in the controversy, and not all on the side of the President.
 Some rumblings may be heard In the house of representative but as the senate alone deals with treaties and takes the greater part in for eign affairs the big rumpus will be in the upper body.
 For the state department. with the acqutescence or at the direction ot President Coolidge, to presume to place limitations upon the invest ment of private American capital in countries with which we are at peace, is more than sufficient 10 arouse the ire of Congress. With the President attempting 10 justify the practice after Senator Glass had
New Britain herald., 1927-10-20

pointed out that it was unconstitu- tional, and a usurpation of the now- CT o1 congress taken purposely to stop congress from doing what the constitution directs, there are cer- tain to be several members of the senate who will take the floor to attack the administrations stand.
 Sen. Glass Bears Up
 Perhaps unconsciously, the Pres ident did the very thing calculated to arouse congress against him when he asserted that the state depart ment had acted to preclude congress from taking a similar action. It was then that Senator Glass point cd out that the constitution confers exclusively upon congress power Ito regulate commerce with foreign na- tions."
 The state department has been careful not to forbid any loans. The farthest step has been to "advise against underwriting certain for eign issues. Its skirts are thus clear of any overt act Of interference with private investment in "com- merce with foreign nations" This is regarded, however, as splitting hairs.
 There are constitutional authori- ties here who believe that the P.Ss- ident is on very thin ice in holding that passing upon advisa hiIity of foreign loans by private American bankers comes within the classified ton of foreign relations" and is a function Of the chief executive. And yet it Is pointed out that the conduct of foreign relations is. and almost from the beginning, has been in the hands of the President. Where treaty relations, entered into with the advice and consent of the Sen ate. have existed. the Executive has carried them out. Where they have not existed. wide latitude has been exercised by the Executive branch of the government.
 The President does not claim he or his secretary or state has a con- right to forbid loans by 1
New Britain herald., 1927-10-20

has been rather quiescent. The Pres ident's challenge to the Senate, for 1t really amounts to that, may stir that body to action to prove it's au- thority, and the lack of power by the President. to advise on foreign loans.
 There will not be in the coming Congress anything like the political capital in the situation for the Democrats that there would have been if MT. Coolidge had not taken his hat from the Presidential ring. Nor will there be the usual partisan compu,sion on the part of the Sen- ate republicans to support the Pres ident.

question except this of higher tariffs on the agricultural products Of | their section of the country.
 It is also expected that the group may unite on some stand on the , question of seating Smith and Ware. Senator Norris is much opposed to ! seating these two members, because he believes that their election was brought about through corruption, and he and several other members Of the insurgent bloc will no doubt seek to obtain solidarity of action 1 on this question. So opposed was | Norris to election of Ware that he campaigned for his Dem ocratic op- ponent, William B. Wilson.
 Shipstead to "Play Ball" Senator Henrik Shipstead, the sole farmer-labor member Of the Senate, Is expected to cooperate with the western progressive repub- licans on many questions of legsla- ton. Some Of the Western Demo- crats, too, may work with the newly organized caucus on certain legisla- ton of interest 10 the west-par- tiCularly Senator Burton K. Wheel CT Of Montana. who ran for vice president with LaFollette on the Progressive ticket. Democrats would be welcome in planning legislation for the west, Senator Borah said, but he made It plain that the con- ference consists of Republicans who work on the theory that the repuh- lican party is a national party, and who are uniting because they do not feel that the West always gets Q square deal In legislation.
 Those who have already partic- pated in the conference include, be- sides Borah and Norris, Nye and Frazier of North Dakota and Brook hart of Iowa, Norbeck and McMas- ter of South Dakota. McNary and Steiwer of Oregon, LaFollette and Blaine of Wisconsin, Howell of Ne hraska. Johnson of California, even Couzens of Michigan. are some of the prospective members of the new caucus in the Senate. Newly elected Senator Charles W. Waterman of Colorado has expressed an interest In the organization of the Western CTS, but his position is by no means certain on any of the questions with which the new caucus will concern itself
 No President From, West
 There has never been a presid dent from west of the Mississippi. The Western Republicans hope to get more consideration of their interest: in the formation of the 1928 Repub- lican platform, as we'll as in the naming of the candidate, and in the enactment of legislation during the coming Congress.
 It now looks as if the organiza- ton of the Western Republicans will aid the prospective candidacy of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover more than any other. Cen tainly an uncomfortable person like Senator Norris, who campaign 'h loi ' DtlHoCldt ollly ldSt year, and who has virtually said he would rather support Governor AL fred E. Smith of New York than some 'reactionary Eastern Repub- lican,' can hope for nothing from the Republican convention. Senator Borah's chances of winning that convention arc hardly greater than Norriss. And Borah is not opposed to Hoover.

Senate in the Saddle

domestic capital abroad. Substantial
 ly, however, that is what has been done. MT. Coolidge, starting out with the assumption that his advisory power belonged to him, weakens his
 position by the manner of his de- fense.
 The bold course for the President to have adopted was that what had been done had been done on plain ground of national expediency, and to have shown wherein foreign rela- tions of United States might have been jeopardiZed had certain loans gone through. Instead of thls, there is projected a possible quarrel be- tween two coordinate branches of the federal government over au- thority in a twilight zone that does not seem to have been specifically covered by the Constitution or Fed eral status.
 AS things now stand, Mir. Coolidge has waved a red flag in the face of the Senatorial bull. That selfsame bull, virtually unchallanged since the dawn of the Harding era is spelling for 8 fight.
 The victories the Senate won in the defeat of ratification of the Yer sailles treaty and of the covenant of the League of Nations, have leen followed up by administrative o HI,1l -1I, reservations it tackled upon our ad- herence to the World Court and by the utter flouting of the Executive in the conditions imposed in the treaty with Germany, which actually denied the President the right 10 name representatives or commissions without the consent, not of the Sen lte alone, but of both Houses of Congress-.

BOYS CLUB DOWNS
 MER|DEN EAGLES
Strong Finish Brings Victory to
 Locals in Silver City

A strong finish enabled the Boys club to down the Meriden Eagles by 21-2O in Meriden last night and turn the local teams first road game of the year into it's 18th con- secutive victory of the season. Ray Anderson's charges have now play cd If games without suffering de- feat, and their pulling through last night meant triumph over one Of the toughest obstacles on their sched- ul4. The Eagles were beaten by 25-24 after hair-raising encoun- ter here q month ago, and last nights return game, played before the Atlas Endee encounter, was no less exciting.
 The Eagles outplayed New Brit ain during the first half and were leading by 13-9 when the halfway mark was reached. Then the Boys club came back ruggedly. With close mantoman guarding keeping the scores of both teams down, the Hardware City boys gradually crept up Ou lltlI IlOSlS duu Iltiu llSu lHe count at 1919 as the end drew near. CHI was fouled as he shot and won the game by sinking both free shots. although the suspense continued until the last second, for Goffa fouled Humpage and the latter was given two shots. The game was end ed as he took his position on the foul-line, but he missed one of his two tries and his chance to tie the score had been bungled.
 The game was somewhat rougher than the club has been accustomed to, and Joe Goffa was lamed by re- peated crashing against the stage at one end of the floor.

Outlaws Flash Form

Showing that they still display much of the form they had as the state champions last year and in the carly games Of the present season, the Outlaws, composed of a group of the 16 players were barred from playing with the high school team. defeated the Corbin Screw team In a one-sided game.
 The Corbin team which has been going great all year taking all the games in the factory league with the exception of two and defeating out side teams like the Gascoe, met a snag when it hit the school boys. Every member Of the outlaw team played sensational basketball, and seemed to grow stronger as the game went on. Toward the last part of the game the Screw shop manage ment sent in fresh team in an effort to stop the school boys but the erstwhile Red and Gold quintet seemed to go stronger against the new men. Darrow and Vetrano, as usual, played the best game for the shop team. The score

Pete Donohue of the Cincinnati Reds is what l would call master pitcher.
 My definition of master pitcher is one who combines natural ability and a keen mind, poise, common sense, and the greatest of all pitch ing assets-control.
 Pete Donohue was finished big league pitcher the day he made his debut in Cincinnati uniform di- rect from college" was a remark the late Pat Moran once made to nc when discussing Donohue.
 He is the only rookie pitcher l ever saw break into the majors who didn't need experience or instruc- tion to polish off the rough spots"
 Donohue joined Cincinnati in 1921 coming direct from Texas Christian University, where for three years he was the sensation of college baseball in that section.
 In his first year he won games and lost 6. He has shown constant improvement each year and has never fallen below the 500 mark
 Control more than anything elsc made the name of Mathewson a baseball byword; it is doing the same for Pete Donohue.
 Last season, in 4 games Donohue gave but 39 bases on balls. Pete believes in making the batter earn his way on. Less than base on balls per game is almost an un- belieyablo performance these days over an entire season of play
 And don't forget" remarked Manager Jack Hendricks when I discussed this phase of Donohues work with him, that l probably or dered Donohue to walk 10 men last year, preferring an intentional pass to giving them a chance 10 hit"
 That would bring Donohue's act ual passes as result of loss of con- trol down to mere 29 for 41 games. Some record.
 Going back over the dope. We find that in the 220 games he has pitched since joining the National league. he has given only 26l bases on balls.
 In his first year in the ma ajors Donohue took part in q games and but 26 players got on through passes. Wildness is a fault that handicaps practically every rookie, but not Donohue.
 That first year exhibition of con- trol best explains why Pat Moran said Donohue was q real big league pitcher the day he made his debut
 The fact that Donohuc never gives the batter anything fat, is ever ready to slip over his curve with the count three and two, and always makes an effort to pitch to the bat ter's weakness, makes his record for control all the more uncanny,' says his manager, Jack Hendricks.
 "I've watched q lot of pitchers since I have been in base ball, but none compares with Donohue as to control"
 Natural ability. q keen mind. per feet poise, plenty of common sense. and unlimited courage are the requisites of tho master pitcher. Pete Donohue has all of them.

HILLHOUSE HIGH
 BEATS N. B. H. 5.
Outlaws Show Great Form in Trouncing Corbin Screw Five

Twenty-two fans made up for the most part of alumni and New Haven rooters paid they way into the Trtan- gular league basketball game be- tween the New Britain High school regulars and New Haven Hillhouse High school and preliminary game between the New Britain High school Outlaws and the Corbin Screw team. The regulars lost by a 34 10 1s score, but the Outlaws swamped the Corbin Screw team by a 4S to 15 score.
 A group of alumni braved possible injury coming down Franklin Square in the face of stampede Of High school students who were dismissed in time to see the game, but were breaking all speed records in a des- perate effort to get away.
 New Haven came to New Britain with one of the smoothest working teams seen on the school floor this year. From the way it acted in the game it is good bet to take state championship honors this year. New Britain looked very poorly in con- parison. For three quarters of the game the only field goals made were long shot by Landino and hook shot by Zehrer. The substitutes sent in by New Haven seemed to outplay New Britain. Gildea and Hayer were the best all-around players on the New Haven team. The score:

ANOTHER SELL.0UT
 AT GIRLS' GAMES
Two Battles Cardd in League at
 Y. ". Tomorrow Night

Another sold-out house Is in pros- pect when the second weeks games in the Girls Industrial league are played at the Y. w. c. A. tomorrow night, and two contests which should merit this large attendance are scheduled. The hose of rooters which was present last Friday 'astounded those who had said girls basketball would not be a success, for the at- tendance was actually far greater than that at any of the games play cd by the men from the New Britain factories. A few die-hards said that this crowd was due merely to the novelty of the thing, but the an- nouncement that 400. tickets have been sold in advance for tomorrow night means that the games are now drawing on their own merits.
 The first game, to start at 8 o'clock, will bring together the two teams which were idle last week and are therefore on the floor for the first time. These are the P. & F. Cor bin team and the quintet from the American Hosiery Co.
 The Corbin aggregation has high hopes of winning the championship and has likely looking squad in Captain Maude Matz. Jenette Seman, Katherine Molchan, Mary Pihiel. Rosalie Recano, Mary Keough. May Mosten. Frances Winfrey. Ada Cross man, and Ruth Johnson. The hosiery makers will have Connie Meskow, Hattie Sabotke, Florence Skarg, Stella Tybor. Anna Swanson. Eva Trudiah. Rose Meeker, Anna Gave lek. Mary Dragone, and Lena Tre- lato, to pick from and are confident of turning back the Park street girls
 In the second battle of the eve ming the Stanley Rule team, which nosed out the New Britain Machine shop last week, will meet the Cor bin Screw shop five. which bowed to the Landers hoop-tossers on open ing night only after whirlwind game. The Rule shop will probably start Rose Paul. Anna Marley, Mary Jarnot. Helen Kelly, and Pat Da- genais, with Olga Becker. Julia Dombrow. Helen Kelly, Florence Spacciuti, and Eleanor Kregor on the sidelines ready to go in at any min ute. The Corbin Screw lineup will probably be composed of Madeline Mascolo, Catherine Snetro, Beatrice Peterson, Valeria Slysz, and Jennie Bianis: the reserves include Bonnie Cullinan Gregory. Mildred Canning. Mary Hudak, and Anna Fracchia.
 Dancing will follow the second game.

MINORS OBJECT ID
 UNIVERSAL DRAFT
Definite Break Is Possible Be- tween Big and Small Leagues

break between the major leagues and three class "A" minor circuits in volving severance of all relations was well within the realm of possi- bility as the draft problem loomed large in baseball today.
 The fresh crisis in major minor league dealings was brought about by refusal of the International and Pacific Coast circuits to sanction the universal draft" agreement drawn up recently at French Lick Springs, Ind. The American association is expected 10 reject the plan at its next meeting. The Western league, Of class "A" standing, has already
