This state mono', which could have been doubled If spent In time, will 1* expended, and Is being used just before election. It la not business. It is not a true sav ing. It is a loss, pure and simple, of $430,000 to Nebraska.” Senator Norris, in hla addresses, continues to hold bis audiences with his Interesting and gripping accounts of his stewardship in the I'nited States senate and congress for the! last 22 years.

S. Senator Ends Life by Inhaling Gas Frank Bosworth Brandegee Leaves Note to Chauffeur; III ness Blamed for Act, by Colleague. News Shocks Washington By t nlvfnal Hervlw. Washington, Oct. 14.—Alone in his richly furnished home, within two blocks of the White House, where he had lived the life of a recluse. Senator Frank Bosworth Brandegee of Connecticut, committed suicide by inhaling gas at an early hour today. His body was found by the police, responding to a telephone call, in a bathroom on the third floor of his residence, while gas was flowing from a tube connected to a f.xture on the wall. He had made deliberate prepar ations for the act by writing a fare well note, stretching himself upon a rug on the floor and placing pillows under his head. Official Washington was profoundly shocked and grieved by the news of the senator's death, for he was well known and popular and a powerful and influential figure In the upper house of congress, where he had served for 19 years. Attempts to ascertain the motive for his act were only partially suc cessful. Some believed It was prompt ed by financial reverses growing out of heavy investments in real estate here which are said to have left him "land poor" with little available ready cash. Illness Blamed. His colleagues In the senate who probably knew him best, asciibed it to illnc-ss, for It is known that the senator was a constant sufferer from intestinal troubles and had often dis eased his condition with other sen ators. Many of Mr. Brandegee's associates' in the senate said he was not of the temperatment that would lead him to commit suicide over financial worries. Although he appeared in good sp rits It had been noticed by his colleagues that he frequently suffered Intense pain, even when on the floor of the senate. Digestive disorders had troubled him for years, it was said, and his condition recently had be come more acute. Senator Brandegee left a note to his chauffeur, George W. Jones, in his bedroom, where. Jones found it at 9:30 this morning. The note, to which were pinned two $100 bills, read as follows: “Dear George: I enclose $100 for you and $100 for Rufus and Emma (servants of the household). 1 am up In the bathroom on the top floor, nearest Seventeenth street, the room directly over my bedroom. If you and Lundy come up there beware of the gas. Good bye." Physician Called. W. D. Lundy, the senator's secre tary, was with Jones when he found the note. A physician was summoned. After an examination he declared Mr. i Brandegee had been dead about live ; hours. Coroner Nevitt, after view ing the hotly, gave as his verdict "sui cide from Inhalation of Illuminating gas." Senator Brandegee, who had been a member of the senate since 1905, was one of the most picturesque members of the upper house. He was a bach elor, and had a reputation for being dressed strikingly. Politically, the late senator was a staunrh republican, one of the mem bers of congress who always could he counted upon to vots with his party on every question. Mr. Brandegee was chairman of the senate judiciary committee, and his death leaves Senator Borah of Idaho, the senior member, in line for the chairmanship. Coolidge Sends Telegram. I’resident Coolidge todny sent a telegram of sympathy to Col. M. G. Zallnskl, depot quartermaster at At lanta, Ga., who, as brother In-law of Senator Brandegee, is his closest sur viving relative. The funeral probably will he at New London, Conn., where Senator Brandegee was born, 60 years ago. Beatrice Semis Delegation to Women’s Club Convention Beatrice.

S., the air cruiser ZR-3 to night was steadily reducing the nule iBge which separated It from its fu ture home at Lakehurst, N. J., where it expected to arrive tomorrow. After nearly three days In the air, the huge craft, which left Frledricns ihaften Sunday morning, was delayed during the day, first by head winds and then by a thick blanket of fop. I which caused it at times to run at | reduced speed and send out queries to -■urface craft and land stations for its bearings. Later, however, upon en countering good weather and a favor |'•Me breeze. It wag enabled to increase its speed to as high as TO mllonie'ers " n hour In the direction of the Amer ‘can coast. Messages received at the Navy de partment and at radio stations along the coast told the story of the 7*p oelln's flight. One rece ved direct from the ZR-3. timed 10:45 a. m , de clared the ship was fighting strong southwest winds and had reduced tie speed to 25 miles an hour.

Word that tho Zeppelin had es caped from the unfavorable weather condltlona was conveyed to the Navy department In a message received lore In the day from Captain Steele aboard the craft, who will be Its commend ing officer when It Is formally taken over by the TTnlted Statee. Forwarded through the Radio cor Porat on of America this message gave the ZR-3s positions as Rbout 1.000 miles east of Cape Sable at 4:15 p. m.. eastern standard time, and eald all engines were running at cruising speed with a following breeze, and at the speed then being maitatned the craft should reach lakehurst tomorrow forenoon Almost Immediately another mes sage was received through the same channels from Captain Steele giving det»l!s of the flight sines Monday night. The longest message to be re ceived here since the ZR-3 left Ger many, It told of good fuel conditions, of passing steamers and of rising above the lower clouds. This mes sage said: "ZR 3 lontinued during night un der four engines making 5? knots air speed hut held back by southwesterly winds to 30 knots or less over the ground of course 290 {degrees' true. On account of unfavorable local con ditions and reports indicating better conditions to northward changed course at 8 a. m., zone three times (6 a. nj.. eastern standard time' to northwest, weather clearing on this course.

In the Azores, would have carried It under normal condi tions -within 100 miles of the area marked In red on all marine maps as affected by fog SO 40 35 per cent of each year.” It was regarded as prob able that the commander of the ZR-3 would elect to drive the ship to hlghe levels in an effort to escape these fogs and perhaps continue at a re duced speed until good weather was encountered.
