TRIES TO HANG SELF.
 TELLS AS ROPE GRIPS
W0uld-Be Suicide Changes
 Mind When Moose Tightens

A combination of alcohol and des
 pondency drove Joseph Pesski, agel
 54, of IF Broad street, to an attemp
 on his life last night. but today ir
 police court, when arraigned on tn.
 charge of drunkenness, he expressef
 regret at his act and assured Jude,
 M. D. Sake that he would not tr,
 suicide again. Prosecuting Attorne,
 J. G. Woods recommended that a
 jail sentence of 10 days be imposed
 saying it would be "an act of cha rity to send him up and get the booze out
 of his system," but Judge Sake said
 ne would not send anyone to iail
 who mas a chance of being of some
 use to himself and his dependents,
 therefore he continued the case for. two weeks ir charge of Probation Officer F. c. Connolly.
 l Shortly after o'clock last night Officer Anton Milewski learned that Iesski had fastened a piece of clothes line about his neck and Jumped off the first floor veranda at hls home after having tied the rope about veranda post. He was intoxi- cated and when the rope began to strangle him he shouted so loudly mat John Grecki. who lives in the 11rst floor tenement. came to his rescue and cut him down. Officer Mllewskl testified that Pesski threat
 ened to use a rope again. and Ser geant T. J. Feeney also testified that the threat had been made early this morning. a few hours after Pesski's arrest. The sergeant said Pesski was given lodging at police headquarters Thursday night. and he is not only out of work but he has no place to eat or sleep. His wife lives in the Broad street tenement, having come from Albany, N. l., three weeks ago.
 Pesski testified that he came to New Britain about a week after his wife and three children reached this city and since then he has worked only two days. in q coal yard. He wanted his wife to return to Albany, but she refused. and yesterday in a fit of despondency he drank freely from bottle of alcohol rendered him by an acquaintance.
 Judge Sake told Pesski he was not displaying any sense in acting as he did last night and he should brace up and make a determined effort 10 overcome the obstacles which have found their way into his path. Things are not always as blue and black as they seem to be-" Judge Saxe said. You are strong and healthy and you shiuld make an ef- fort to better your condition.

|BRUMbY RECEIVES . NO ORDERS AS YET
Rear Admiral Not Recalled to Washington Thus Far
EXPLAINS SUB STATUS
Declares He Was Only in Charge Of Salvage Work and Not Sent There As Salvage or Submarine Expert.

IdldHd, MATCH $ H-Rear Ad-
 miral Frank H. Brumby, who was
 declared by naval court of in-
 quiry to be unfit to command the
 control force of the United States
 fleet. in a statement made public today declared that to date he had
 not received instructions to return to Washington
 ! The admiral, who returned here from maneuvers near the Perla. islands. discussed the findings of the court i'll regard to the S-4 disaster off Provincetown where he directed salvage operations.
 Admiral Brumby said he was not at the scene of the disaster as an expert but to give orders and di- rect the work systematically. which was exactly what he did. He as- serted that he had an expert sent out by the navy department to ad- wise and assist in directing the work.
 Details Not Essential
 Tt was unnecessary that I know every detail of the construction or the submarine to direct operations there,' the admiral said. T will admit that I was given advice bv experts sent there by the naval au- thorities at Washington and that ] followed that advice. It was the only logical thing to do."
 There was no disscnsion between officers as to what should be done, he asserted. They conferred from time to time, he declared, and he assumed responsibility for the work, giving orders and seeing that they Were obeyed.
 Tn many cases,' Admiral Brum- by continued. my orders were at the suggestion of officers lower in command than myself This is just what anyone else in such q posi- ton would have done. I can offer no excuses nor apologies in that respect for I believed then. and I believe now, that I did right"
 Referring to his testimony before the board of inquiry, Admiral Brumby said that before he was summoned to appear Admiral E. H. campbell, naval judge advocate, had informed him as to points upon which he would be called to testify. Later, he stated, when called be- fore the court he was closely ques- toned regarding many minute de- tails of the disaster and as to the 1. details of submarine construction, <. which he was unable to answer at that time. Admiral Brumhy contin- ued:
 Tt might have been possible that made the statement before the court that did not know anything about submarines If I did I meant | hat ] did not have intimate knowl. edge of submarine construction.
 Admiral Brumby said he had lent full details as to his position o the navy department by mail and hat this should have reached Washington more than two weeks lgo.

SENATOR WALSH 0F
 MONTANA IN LISTS
Teapot Dome Prosecutor Takes
 Democratic Spotlight
SUPPORTED BY McAD0O
Californian Announces He Will Throw His Support to Noted cratic Nomination at Houston,

Ct&eN NO1nln&tlOn 9t HOuSt0n.
 Washington, March tF - An other banner. carrying the colors of the veteran Senator Walsh of Montana, appeared on the demo- cratic war front today presaging a fight to the irish for the presiden- tial nomination.
 Backed by McAdoo
 The name of Walsh, prosecutor of the oil investigations, was thrust into the political spotlight overnigh. in announcements from two states, California and Wisconsin, and po- liticai observers had much nor. food for thought today in the fur. thcr declaration that William C. McAdoo was to lead the California movement for him.
 John 0. Davis. member Of the northern California committee of five representing the dry faction headed by McAdoo. announced that Walsh's name would be entered for the presidential primary May l and that John B. Elliott of Los Angeles. candidate for the senate at the last election. had informed him that the Montanan had no objection.
 Other Men in Race
 The names of Governor Smith and Senator Reed of Missouri, the latter now campaigning in Cali tornia. already have been entered. assuring q three-cornered fight in that state for its 26 delegates to the Houston convention.
 4 similar battle is in sight in Wisconsin. where Senator Walsh was born and won B. l.. degree at the State university. Miles Riley, of Madison, is authority for the statement that nomination papers for the Montanan will be filed be- fore the deadline at midnight to- night. Reed entered the primary lists there yesterday and Smith pre- Niously had done so.
 Plans Not Announced
 While McAdoo and Walsh, both in Washington. have yet to make any announcement of their plans, the movement launching Walsh as a dry candidate in California was not wholly unexpected by those democrats who are hostile to the ! of Governor Smith, not l because of his religion but because of his attitude toward prohibition.
 Walsh, a confirmed dry, has been i, mentioned before in discussions { among the anti-Smith democrats as . g possible candidate whom they could support at Houston.
 He was permanent chairman Of | the 1924 democratic convention at Madison Square Garden, where Me Adoo. also dry locked horns with Smith in the memorable deadlock for the nomination. The former secretary of the treasury's an- nounce1nent that he would not be ! candidate this year is looked upon as rendering him free to support a man of his own choice. although here have been indications from some of his followers that efforts might be made to draft him.
 Reed and Smith. supporters al- ready have organized in California. ' The Davis announcement said a list 'f delegates pledged to Walsh would be announced soon and that hey would constitute "a solid and 7, lnbroken phalanx of dry, progress
