Bridgeport Young Man,
 Girl He Was To Have Wed On Wednesday,
 and Her Mother Are Victims.
Death, Probably Caused by Small Gas Heater Ex- hausting Oxygen, Comes Upon Three Suddenly.

Bridgeport, Jan. IS R-Howard J. Wade, 25, of 4s3 Windsor avenue, stratford, Miss Ruth Dunlap ot Beachmcnt avenue and her mother. Mrs. Minnie Dunlap were found asphyxiated in house at 11S Sco- field avenue today.
 Were To Wed Wednesday
 Wade and Miss Dunlap were to have been married Wednesday and the house where they were found dead was to have been their future tome. The three went there yester- day to fix up the place.
 The bodies were found by Harold Dunlap IS, who. becoming alarmed at tho absence of his mother and sister hurried to the new house with his brother and sister-in-law, Mir and Mrs. Vernon Dunlap. When the three reached the Schofield avenue house lights were burning in the apartment but the front door was locked and they received no answer to their ring.
 FInd Wadc's Body
 The rear door, however. was open and the fist sight that greeted them as they stepped into the kitchen was Wade's body. Hs had fallen with his head towards a window.
 In a bedroom, the Dunlaps found their mother lying on the floor at the foot of the bed and their sister on the bed. covered with . quilt Both were dead.
 The theory of the police is that Miss Dunlap became Ill from carbon nonoxide gas caused by small gas heater which had used all the oxy- gen in the apartment, and went into the bedroom to rest, her mother ac- companying her and probably sitting on the foot of tho bed.
 Police Reconstruct Tragedy
 Then, the belief is mother and daughter both became unconscious and Wade. finding them thus had started for the kitchen to get water or ascertain what the trouble was when death overlook him.
 The three victims with Mrs. Min nie Wade and her daughter went to I,< o1tt, nnt al, N{ four rooms on the first floor of q new house, yesterday afternoon at ? o'clock to arrange the furniture which had come some time previ- ously. Mrs. Wade and her daughter left at 4:30 and the other three were to stay on a few hours longer.
 At midnight, Harold Dunlap called his brother Vernon on the telephone to say that his mother and sister had not yet come home.
 Vernon told his brother not to worry that they probably would be late in getting home. Sometime around 2.o'clock Harold decided not to wait any longer and went to his brothers house, getting him and his wife out of bed. The three hur- ried to their Schofield street apart mcnt at the other end of the city ir Vernon's car and there found the bodies of the three gas victims.
 The Dunlap Wade wedding was to have taken place at Park street Congregational church at 4:3C Wednesday afternoon.

Robinson Also Speaks

lSODAllsOu AlSO 6&Do0R9 Declaring that he would not un- fairly state the conditions of the country, Senator Robinson, the democratic leader. challenged recent statements by President Coolidge and republican leaders in the senate that the country is in . prosperous industrial and agricultural condition.
 The Robinson speech opened the debate on the McMaater resolution recording the senate as in favore of q general revision downward in tariff rates. which is to reach a vote this afternoon.
 Living costs in the United States continue too high" the senator said. and there is an intimate relation ship between the tariff and the pres ent condition of agriculture"
 Cites Rank Failures
 Citing the record of bank failures in recent years, Senator Robinson asked why President Coolidge and republican leaders insisted upon making prosperity 'the solo issues" "
 Do they believe the people of this country are so ignorant" he asked that they can be deceived into believing there is prosperity in the face of the facts we Know.
 Tt IS amazing how the President and republican senators can boast of prosperity"

 Telegraph and telephone com- panies would be excluded from the proposed senate inquiry into the financial and other affairs of public utilities corporations, the senate in- terstate commerce committee was informed by Senator Walsh, demo- crat. Montana. author of the resolu- ton for such an investigation.
 Not that I don't believe the tele- phone and telegraph and radio in- dustries should be investigated" :" Senator Walsh explained at the opening of hearings on his resolu- ton, but I did not want to take in any broader field than the light and power companies.
 T am very hopeful that it will not be found necessary at all to have any congressional legislation on this subject I would be very much pleased if our survey of the situation enabled us to report to the senate that there are no such abuses as call for legislation and that the states are taking care of 1t them selves. I am rather hopeful that the publicity which would be given would result in the correction of any abuses that may be found to exist. Of course my hopes may not be realized"
 When Senator Walsh concluded his presentation of more than an hour. former Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin told the committee that the joint committee of national utilities associations desired to be

 The armored cruiser Tordensk fold with a hydrop!anc aboard and the hshins supervision vessel. Michael sars, will be dispatched imm ediately,
 Many Planes In Search
 Seaplanes will he numerous in this search. The Tordenskjold will carry a hydroplanc while a three motored Junkors plane will be aboard the Russian ice breaker Krassin that VIII said from Bergen Saturday. The noted arctic explorer Hoed also will be aboard the krassin.
 ThEygore Gran. another noted ex- plorer, also has volunteered and will be sent to the arctic regions on one Of the relief expeditions.
 Captain Riiser-Iarsen and Lieu tenant Luetzow- Holm. Norwegian explorers and airmen now aboard the Braganza. have been ordered 10 search the west coast of Spitzhergen.

teams have been sent out from the steamer Braganza to search for [ them.
 [ Amundsen. Lieut.. Dietrichson and Commandant Guilbaud, with a crew. started from Tromsoe in a French seaplane Monday 10 search for the lost Mobile party. They were ex- pected to maintain radio communica- tlon with either the Kings Bay sta- tion or the Bear island station.
 They did not communicate with either station. They did not appear al Kings Bay as they had been ex- ! pected to do. None of the flyers. i operating from Kings Bay and from 1 the steamer Braganza, have found trace of them and Mobile, who i maintains radio communication with the Citta DiMilano, has not seen the plane.
 Not New Experience It was pointed out, however, that being lost in the Arctic was no new experience for Amundsen. In 1925 he ana lHetrlchson were lost for con- i siderable time and eventually made thelr way 10 civilization. This gave nope the party was safe--provided the big seaplane had not era cked up cn the dangerous. breaking ice.
