 MAGAZINE STORY
Digest Credits Him and Bakewell With Develop ing Powder Magazine

Two republican congressman from this state, one of them Rep resentative E. w. Goss of this city, are members of group of five Washington, D. C., political chief tains receiving credit for having launched an economic research bureau that has developed into what is called the 6. O. DIS pow der magazine" for the 1884 cam paign in an article by Oliver Me- Kee, Jr., in the current issue Of the Literary Digest. The other Connecticut solon is Professor Charles M. Bakewell of New Ha- ven.
 The two Connecticut men, along with Congressman Robert L. Ba- con of New York, Chester C. Bol- ton of Ohio and Richard Wiggles- worth of Massachusetts jointly en- gagged at their own expense F.. Lawrence Babcock, a research ex- pert. They hired him at the open ing of the last Congress for their own use.
 The experiment, however, proved so successful that Congressman Bacon laid the suggestion of giv- ing their project wider application before Senator Daniel O. Hastings of Delaware, chairman of the Sem ate committee, and his associates. The senators accepted the plan and the Senate and House joint committees joined hands in setting up the bureau of economic re- search to serve republicans in both houses.
 The Nureau is described as a "brain trust with a right-wing re- fiex' by MT. Mckee in his article. It is now expected that the bureau will provide factual information to serve as a foundation for the republicans challenge to the New Deal" in the coming congress sional elections.
 Therefore, Congressman Goss will play an important part in the coming election which will be watched with interest throughout the country.

IOttie' Remains Unknown to Relatives of Recent
 Suicide Case

 Authorities are still in the dark as to the identity of "Lottie" to whom a farewell note was found in Hoffman's pocket when his body was discovered last Friday morn ing. Relatives say that they had never heard of her previously.
 Relatives found it difficult to ac- cept the suicide theory but the medical examiner says that the evil dence shows clearly that the man took his own life. Evidence of care ful preparations and the position of the body all definitely pointed to suicide.
