A few minutes later, Louis Buito, an employee In the warehouse, hailed a taxicab and was taken to Roosevelt Hospital, where he was treated for burns.

By JOHN BILLINGS Jr. Washington, Nov. 16 Two political events of the last twenty-four hours have given considerable impetus, in a minor way, to the candidacy of Governor Smith for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1928.

The first of these Is the outcome of a special election for a seat in Congress in Denver, which resulted In a wet Democrat being named to succeed a deceased dry Republican. The campaign was fought on the issue of amending the Volstead Act. The second, and probably more important, is the declaration of Governor Ritchie of Maryland, at a Catholic banquet in Washington last night, that the Democratic party owes Governor Smith "first consideration for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States." The State of Colorado ordinarily has been considered dry, but last year, in a Prohibition referendum, the city oi uenver showed a strong wet senti ment. This sentiment, to Judge from yesterday election, has not dimin ished. 8.

Harrison White, the successful candidate, has issued a statement an nouncing that his election does not necessarily" mean that he will sup port Governor smith lor President This declaration, however, is consid ered less significant than the doss! bility that the Colorado delegation to the Democratic convention in 1928 may be able to unite on at least one of the candidates. In the Madison Square Garden convention in 1924 the 12 votes of Colorado remained split from the first ballot to the 10M. which finally nominated John W. Davis. See Delegation for Smith.

Whether election of a wet Democrat in Denver foreshadows a swing in Colorado to the moist side of Prohibition is not now evident, but It is considered significant that White was nominated by a State convention on a platform that pledged every can didate named by the Democratic State organization to work for modification of the Volstead Act. This is regarded as auguring well for a solid Colorado delegation for Smith, if not at the start of the voting at least before the convention gets into a Jam. The declaration of Governor Ritchie is simply a recognition of an existing state of political facts. It Is evident to Governor Ritchie that he cannot hope to make progress in the conven tion without first supporting Smith. in other words, Maryland must De for Smith as long as he Is in the race.

But with Smith once eliminated, it is the hope of Governor Ritchie's supporters that he will inherit a large part of the Smith strength. The same is true of Senator Reed of Missouri. In both cases there will be a few preliminary ballots for Ritchie and Reed as "favorite sons," then a shift to Smith with further developments depending on whether Smith remains in the race. Colorado Vole Significant. Those Interested in the national future of Governor Smith today attached much Importance to the election of Mr.

White. "It shows how the wind Is blowing," one of the Governor's close advisers said. "It may mean an Instructed Smith delegation from Colorado. It would have been tough for us if White had been defeated." The Democratic Congressman-elect was considered as an out-and-out Smith man. Party Leaders Admit It Is Needed but Will Blame Governor for Necessity.

By WILLIAM WOODFORD. Governor Smith will recommend In the first Executive budget the impo sition of a 2-cent gasoline tax to meet the estimated 1928 financial deficit in State finances. The G. O. Legislature will approve the recommendation-- but there will be a strong verbal pro.

test. Definite assurances of such action were obtained today from one of the Governor's close advisers and from the Republican State Committee. That the gasoline tax will be used by the o. O. P.

for a wide-open attack on Smith's entire "financial policy of extravagance" and that the series of attacks will be directed for national consumption was admitted in Repub lican circles. Stands on Budget The Governor, sensing what is to come, will meet the political onslaught, his advisers say, by challenging the Republicans to point to a single item in the budget which he is now preparing at Albany which may oe cut out without harm to tne State. The increases in, the State budget for 1928 causing the estimated total to amount to $235,000,000, or some $20,000,000 more than the 1927 budget are due primarily to a mandatory Increase of $9,000,000 for State educational aid and to a Jump of $11,000,000 In highway appropriations on a five-year scale for the expenditure of nearly $50,000,000 a year for roads.

THE BREAKS UP COMMONS IN II Laborites Demand Premier Make Own Reply to MacDonald's London, Nov. 16 (P) Renewed disorder late today caused a second adjournment of the House of Commons seven minutes after It had been called to order, following a temporary suspension of the silting earlier in the afternoon. The disorders accompanied debate on a Labor motioln for a vote of censure of the Baldwin Government for neglect of the unemployment and coal problems, the Labor members demanding that Premier Baldwin himself answer the charges of neglect presented by Ramsay Macdon-ald, the former Premier and Labor leader.

Demand Baldwin Reply. Disorderly scenes in the Commons during debate on the Labor motion to censure the Baldwin government, caused the prior adjournment. In the midst of an uproar from opposition benches who wanted Premier Baldwin himself to answer the Labor charges, the Speaker late this afternoon adjourned the sitting until 8 o'clock. The tumult followed a lengthy address by Ramsay MacDonald. former Premier and Labor leader, who introduced the motion of censure, When Sir Philip Cunllffe Lister, president of the Board of Trade, rose to if ply the Opposition would not hear nun.

Tumult Drowns Lister. Shouts of "Baldwin" and "the Prime Minister" sounded through the house and the tumult was so loud that Cun llffe Lister was unable to begin his speech. The speaker thereupon remarked that he was under the Impression that the proponents of the censure motion wanted a reply, but there were cries at this of: "Veal But want a responsible Minister." The Speaker then refused consent to a proposal by David Klrkwood. Laborlte, that a motion be presented asking that Cunllffe Lister not be heard. The Speaker's threat to adjourn the House If the disorder per sisted was unavailing, and when there were renewed cries for Premier Bald-vln as the President of the Board of Trade again rose, the Speaker suspended the sitting.

The quest for Agent Heatley's Youble began shortly after Heatley's dismissal from the service, according to Assistant Federal Attorney Harry Chlart, In charge of criminal prosecutions. It was Inspired by a complaint from Nassau County of an attempted extortion by one who represented himself as Heatley and answered to Healley's description. A cherk on Heatley's movement, however, discovered that the dlsmled agent waa on a visit to another "section of these United States at the time." Before Heatley returned to New Vork. it was said, two more attempts at extortion had been attributed to him. Opposing as "exorbitant and unwarranted" the amount of ball lnlsted on by Mr.

With tears streaming down her cheeks she told of the Duke beat ing her into insensibility with the leg of a chair when she protested against his love affair with Marie LorenzonI, 24-year-old Roman beauty. Her magnificent poise and Indifference, which characterized her attitude since the hearing opened yesterday, dropped from her like a mantle when she stepped into the witness box. She trembled and turned a deathly white. When her counsel, States Attorney William H.

Comley, gently asked her age she broke into tears and it was fully two minutes before she was able to tell him she Is 39. Tells of Unhappiness. Then, haltingly, with her face tear- stained she described her mar riage to the Duke In an elaborate society setting in Greenwich in 1907, and the unhappy years of her married life. She declared her husband's affair with Miss LorenzonI was well known In their circles in Rome and that on one occasion she went to Miss LorenzonI and pleaded with her to give up tne Dune. Her entreaty was unavailing, she said.

Later she took the Duke to task, and she testified his only response waa that he was proud of his actions.

and that she entertained well. 8Deaklnz of the divorce, the Duke Is alleged to nave told cmgt that he was glad his wife was seeking one. Favo, the chauffeur, said In his de position that he saw the Duke enter Miss Lorenzonls apartment on two occasions late at night and emerge about 8 o'clock the following morn ing.

Three others, all her friends and companions, have left because of what they term an Injustice to Miss WoodhuIL Graa Is a Lehigh graduate, spending his first year in Mattituck, and he has made himself, very popular both with the students and older people In town. He Is a good-looking young man, friendly, always well dressed and he is called a good mixer. "'Conduct unbecoming a teacher" Is the heading on one of the counts made by Moon.

But there are others. Among them are insubordination and Inefficiency, but most' of the complaint discusses the alleged conduct unbecoming a teacher. There Is one teacher in the school who has made an affidavit that Oraa called her "Mary" while she was In a schoolroom filled with students! Another swears that one day a physical culture class from her room was retured to her with six boys missing. She says she asked Oraa where the boya had gone and he didn't know. Then she suggested he look In an apple orchard near the school where, she says, the boys were playing.

That affidavit comes under the head of inefficiency. But of course the chief trouble concerns the alleged motorcar rides. One person, not connected with the school, has sworn he saw Graa riding through the town on Sept. 20, during school hours, with two girls. He didn't actually sec Graa, hut he identified his car and the girls, the witness swore.

One of the girls, whose name has been withheld for the moment, is described as one of the "prettiest girls In the school." Another affidavit says that another one "of the prettiest girls In the school" once got a cinder in her eye and, instead of going to Mr. Moon to have it removed, went to Graa. Hearings to Be Held.

Her friends who have walked out with her are Miss Lois Oildersleeve, Miss Bernice Bond and Miss Ruth Butterworth. The town Is not taking the trouble very seriously yet, but Graa seems to have most of the sympathy of the townspeople, and all of It from the students.

Remus in a long and heated appeal to the Bench demanded that the tests be considered as not limited to three but take In "possibly 10 or 15 or 20." The clash between Remus, appearing as his own counsel in his trial for uxorcide, came when Charles P.

"The Court will charge you that there are three testa of Icial Insanity which the Jury must apply In their consideration of this case. Will you follow this portion of the Court's charge rather than any Ideas of your own or cctimonly accepted Ideas as to Insanity?" The Jury was sent from the room while Remus sought to have the Court rule that other tests might be applied. Judfte Shook finally riled that Mr.
