Special to the Herald)

Southington, July 5 - Nicholas Calvanese. r month old son of Mir. and Mrs. John Calvanese of 19G Meriden avenue, was drowned about 2:30 o'clock yesterday after noon in IS inches of water in a small pool surrounding little fountain in the front yard of his home.
 The child had been playing with it's brothers and sisters and was todGling about the front lawn. Un- noticed by the others, Nicholas went to the fountain and. stum- bling over the cement parapet of about eight inches, the child evi- dently toppled over into the water and was unable to rise. One of his brothers found him and with d scream, he summoned his mother, who started frantic effort to get medical aid.
 Dr. Reuben Thalberg answered the summons but when he arrived the baby was beyond human aid. He summoned Dr. William T. Nagle, medical examiner, who gave the cause of death as drowning. Dr. Nagle and Dr. Thalberg agreed that the child was not in the wa ter over 10 minutes and that it had choked to death as it's lungs filled with water.
 The fountain was erected some time ago by the father. It stands about three feet high and adds to the beauty of the little home on Meriden avenue. A cement contain CT with a drain takes care of the flow of water. In the center the water is about two feet deep but where the child was found it meas ures a scant IS inches.
 The father was working in Plantsville and was unaware of the tragedy until he was notified by Policeman Edward Geary.
 Besides his parents, the baby is survived by three brothers, John, Joseph and Anthony, and two sis ters, Celia and Josephine. The eld- est child is eight years of age.

'SUFFOCA7IONp CAUSE
 IN HENDRIX DEATH
Acting Coroner Refuses to Amplify Statement
 Guests Questioned

New Haven, July (P Acting Coroner James J. Corrigan said to- day that tentatively he believed the cause of the death of Nathan W. HendryX, 49. president of the An- drew B. HendryN company, bird cage manufacturers of this city, whose body was found floating near his yacht off Stony Creek was due to suffocation while in the water.
 The acting coroner was not pre- pared to say whether Hendryx fell into the water from his yacht, the NybyN, or whether he was pushed off, and his inquest. being held to- day was to determine whether the mans death was the result of foul play or accident. Corrigan could not say whether the wound on Hendryx's head was caused by blow or by the mans striking the railing or stern of his yacht in his fall.
 No Water In Lungs
 The acting coroner did say how ever, that an autopsy had failed to reveal water in the dead mans lungs and denied again the possibility of death through shock or any other cause naturally consequent to a per sons falling into deep water.
 The yacht of the manufacturer, who was president of the Civil Service Commission here, was near the private pier of E. S. Ball, wealthy oyster grower of Flying | Point, Branford, at the time the body was discovered. On board were Mrs. Hendryx. her son: Hilton Doc little, a nephew and his wife; MT and Mrs. Ball, old friends of the Hendryx family and Winston Mar | shall a Yale art school student, said to be ,caretaker of the Nybyx. All these were questioned at the inquest which probably will extend to next week.
 Refuses to Discuss Theory
