(. A. Tautahahn Heart Attack
 Victim Fighting Assalant
POLICE HUNTING CLUES
Nctghbor, Looking Out Of Window, Secs Man Dra0ging Pfostrate FOrm-N0 Signs Of Struggle and
  No Weapon Found Near Scene.

Hartford, Jan. 30 R}-The circum. stances of the death of Gustave A. Tautenhahn, 59, of 34 Pitkin street, East Hartford who was found dead early Sunday morning propped up against a fence near his home where he had been placed, it is believed by highway man who had assau aulted him, remained 8 mystery today.
 Heart Failure Causes Death
 While Medical Examiners Henry N. Costello of Hartford and H. J. Onderdonk of East Hartford say the man had been given blow be- hind the left ear with a blunt in- strument which might have been | blackjack. death was actually caused by heart failure due to Tautenhahn's exertions in struggle.
 Robbery Probable Motive
 The case presents certain ele- mcnts of mystery which the police had not succeeded in clearing up today. Tautenhahn. secretary of the Hartford Maennerchor and a promi- nent member of the Liederkeanz, was not known to have an enemy in the world. and that the assault was committed for purposes of robbery. is quite evident to the investigators.
 He had been in Hartford and was presumably returning to his home when he was assaulted and robbed of something less than ten dollars. He had $1O with him when he left home. he is known to have made small purchases in Hartford. but the indications were that his pockets had been ransacked before his assailant had completed his work.
 Girl Discovers Crime
 Miss Antonia Grunschneder. IS, who lives on the first floor of 3i Pitkin street, was the first to dis cover the crime. She had had lunch in her home. and preparing to retire. had raised the curtain of her window and looked out. The storm was raging and she saw a man dragging the figure of Mir. Tauten- hahn. He was about 20 feet from the house at that time and he then hastily pulled the body over to the fence and left it there. Miss Grun- schneder told her parents what she had seen and her father. going into the yard, found the body of Mr. Tauntenhahn, recognized him as his

The ship, commanded by Lieu tenant P. w. Warren of Springfield. Ill. disappeared from view of the other vessels during rain squall and heavy gale. Although some apprehension was felt, it was said at the department that disappear ances of this kind are not unusual and generally the vessels later turn up all right.
 On board are three officers. four chief petty officers and 33 men. Tho officers are Lieutenants w. F. Weddner, Charles B. Garvin and Jose M. Cabannillas.
 Built in 1918
 The S-2 was built in 1918 at the Portsmouth. N. H., navy yard and is 231 feet long with a beam of o2 feet. Her weight is S76 tons on the surface and 1,0s2 tons submerged.
 The exact location of the vessels when the S-s was lost from view was given as latitude 32.25 north and longitude 1925 west. l Other submarines in the force, all of which are aiding in tho search. are the s-7, S-S, S-9. SIC, S-11, S-12 and s-1s. Brumby in Charge
 Rear Admiral Brumby who was in charge of the rescue operations at the scene of the S-4 disaster off Provincetown, Mass. Is in command of the control force and the message informing the department that the S-3 was missing came from him aboard the Camden. flagship of the force.
 In announcing the fact that the ship was missing. the department said the search was being made Ion account of the failure of communica- ton between the missing submarine and the other vessels of the group" This is not unusual for small ves- sells during bad weather conditions. which are existing" the department added.
 The water where the S-3 Is miss ing is reported to be almost two miles deep.
 Re Found Shortly Officials expressed the belief that she would be found shortly. The control force left it's Hampton Roads base Friday for Guantanamo to participate fin winter maneuvera.
 Lieutenant Weidner's home is list- ed as Hoboken, N. J.; Garvin's is Harrison, Arkansas and Cabannil- las is Mayaguez. Porto Rico.

Wilton. Jan. 30 P1The contro- versy between Grand Juror Frank Bennett of this town and Motor Ve- hicle Commissioner Robbins B. stoeckel, over. the charges of the latter that the former has refused to sign warrants Involving charges of violation of motor vehicle laws, when presented by state police, was in the letter writing stage today. Mir. Bennett is under summons to appear tefore Commissioner Stoeckel to- morrow to explain his attitude. The commissioner claims 70 derive au- thority for bringing the grand juror before him under the 1921 law. Bennett has said that his refusal to sign warrants was that the cases as presented to him by state officers were mot important enough
 Lawyers Engaged.
 He engaged counsel, Light, Dun- bar and Quinlan of Norwali who also appear in the case as counsel for the town of Wilton.
 The controversy has created inter- est not only in the town but throughout lower Fairfield county because of the activity of the state police engaged in control and regu- lation of motor traffic.
 Denying Authority.
 Counsel for Bennett today sent a letter to Commissioner Stoeckel de- nying his authority to call Nr. Ben nett to account as a quasi judicial elective officer who was exercising own conscience, under the oath of office in the performance of his duty"
 The letter says that Bennett feels duty bound to take this position in the interest of the sound and orderly administration of justice and of the rights Of every prosecuting and judi cial officer of the state. believing that to obey your (StoeckeD sum- mons and admit authority claimed by you (StoeckeD would create a harmful and dangerous precedent"
 Quote Law.
 Counsel in the letter had quoted from the law of 1921 which gives the commissioner the right after notice and hearing. to make a pres entation to the states attorney who shall apply for bench warrant against the offending officer and prosecute for misfeasance. Counsel further said I've note your state ment to the effect that this provi- sion was intended to give you cer- tain control over the action of 'grani jurors and justices of the peace' even if :here were nothing else in the act to show a contrary intention, certainly no one reading the foregoing action would think for a moment that the words any offi- csr' were intended to give you con- trol of the judicial and quasi-judicial officers of the state. to con- tend otherwise and to hold that the words meant, ;n fact. any officer ot the state and Tn the state, would lead to the unacceptable conclus. oil that you were given like contrcl over every presiding attorney in the state, over the judges of the courts in the state, including the supreme court of errors. and by the same
