WETMORE WILL BE BURIED TO-DAY
 NEAR HAYDEN
Suicide Slayer of Emily Kirk Will Have Volunteer Bremen as Escort at the Funeral

New Haven, Conn, May 2-UP) 1.-The second victim of a rural tragedy that began when William Wetmore, simple farmland, fell in love with Emily Kirk, daughter of his wealthy employer, went to his grave yesterday.
 Wetmore. who committed suicide Wednesday, was buried in Hamden PUlains cemetery, few miles from the plot in which Emily, whom he murdered, was inferred Tuesday. Members of the Mix district volun- teer fire company, and whose fire house and entertainment was being given while Emily was attacked in the woods behind the building, were to act as pail bearers. Many of the firemen believe Wetmore innocent, despite the evidence gathered by Coroner James J. Corrigan.
 Authorities were winding up their investigation to-day. They learned the revolver with which Wetmore apparently shot Emily four times was not the target pistol he had been accustomed to 5crrow from Hamden girly. Her gun was found to be rusted from disuse.
 Owen Daley, New Haven bertil- lion expert, reported no fingerprints on the fragment of a bottle with which Wetmore is believed to have beaten Emily. Bloodstains on Wet more's Sunday best" clothing are being analysed.

Legislators of Present As- senlbly Are to Form Such an Organization Purpose Is to Keep Alive
 the Issues That Came to
 Light in Past Few Months
BE PREPARED
 FOR NEXT FIGHT
fRv Den,Ocrat StaR Nfanl

Hartford, May 2nd--Formation of . permanent organization made up of democratic legislators who have served in the 1881 session of the general assembly has been started, the purpose of the group being to keep alive the issues for which they have fought during the past few months. Furthermore, the new organization will remain intact until the next state convention of the democratic party, 1t is under stood, so, that they can enter the party conclaves and aid in formulat- ing the platform, based, on their actual experience.
 It was pointed out by many of the democratic members that they, as legislators, are obliged to bear the burden of fighting the party s battles in the general assembly. The platform, they explained further, is made up at the state convention and then when the general assembly sits the democratic representatives and senators are obliged to do all the work of battling the republican ma jority.
 Therefore, it was declared. it is planned to organize the 1881 dem- ocrltic legislators so that they may enter the next state convention and participate actively in formulating the party's principles and aims. In this way it is felt that the democrat ic convention will be given first hand information on some matters.

 Nation That Improves ment Is on the Way
Copyright. 1881, by the United PresS)

Atlantic City, N. J., May 2 - (UP) - A gradual Improvement in business, of which the signs already are appearing, is seen by industrial leaders who attended the U. s. Chamber of Commerce meeting here.
 A United Press canvass of senti- ment and their public expressions showed that the business leaders do not try to minimize the seriousness of the slump through which the country has passed and in which it still finds itself. They see indica.. tions of an improvement which. they agree must be slow and steady.
 Some of these views follow:
 Secretary of Commerce Robert F. Lamont. = After such a cataclysm as we have been through, time and the slow working of economic re- adjustments are necessary before the world can return to economic health and vigor. And there can be no doubt that many of the necessary adjustments have been and are be- ing made, and that business even now is sluggishly responding to the stimulus of these needed changes. Whatever were the causes of our present difficulties, the corrective influences have now been at work

massive head and tail only an inch and one-half long, and in no way resembles a Daschund--or any other dog for that matter.
 But we can't help being excited about him." Dr Blair declared. Tt is definitely the rarest dog in the world. It is reported the London zoo had one in 1879 and the Am sterdam zoo possessed a short-lived specimen just before the war. The species was not recorded in history until 1842 when Peter Wilhelm Lund Danish naturalist. noted its strange cry when he was exporting the Brazilian wilds."
 Incidentally, Vasco's call is just another of the many strange things about him. It is nothing like the bark of dog-more like the call of a weasel and the chirp of a bird combined, Toomey says.
 Vasco was sent to the Bronx zoo by an expatriated Russian explorer who is known only as Bodinsky and lives in Para. Brazil.
