Despondent at the thought of facing poverty after Stock Market losses had wiped out life savings of $10,000, Edward Bail, about 40 years old, a natlv/^of Leominster, Mass., attempted to end his life 'today in a rooming house at 87 Fourth Street "L can't last any longer," he wrote in what was to have been his farewell note. "Five cents is all I've got left of $10,000 hard- earned money. God bless my soul!" * "Goodby all." Other occupants of the rooming house smelled escaping gas and found the man unconscious in his room. He was revived by the in- halator and taken to the Troy Hos- pital, where this afternoon at- taches said his condition was favor- able. > Came Here Recently. At the house, it was said that Bail" had taken a room there about three weeks ago. He told the man- ager of the rooming house that he was a weaver by trade and came to this city seeking work. He was practically without funds, it was stated, and told of^loslng a consid- erable fortune in the Stock Market recently. His expensive clothes seemed to bear out this story. A few minutes after 11 o'clock this morning Ernest Carreau, a roomer in the house» smelled leak- ing gas as he was walking through the hall. He summoned his brother, George Carreau, manager of the place, and the two broke down the door to Bail's room. They found the man, clad only in? trousers and shirt, stretched on the bed. He had evidently turned *the gas jet on, inhaled the fumes through a paper tube until he was overcome, and then fell back on the bed. Fire Chief Casey and Chauffeur Edgar Keene were summoned with the inhalator. Patrol Driver Ed- ward Smith and Patrolman Joseph Smith were also on the scene.

The political dispute over Comp- troller-elect Lawrence J. Collins' ap- pointments to the Comptroller's of- fice spread today to include Edward Maloney, Mr. Collins' designee for the office of Deputy Comptroller. It was announced that the Corpo- ration Counsel's office had refused to accept the appointment of Mr. Maloney, made before Comptroller Collins took office January 1, unless the designation be resubmitted. It is understood that this action is based upon the same objections, raised by the Corporation Counsel's office to three minor appointments to Civil Service places in Comptrol- ler Collins' office. It is contended that Mr. Collins had no authority to make appointments until he official- ly took office January 1, and that therefore all his appointments made before that time were invalid. The latest move to block, tempo- rarily at least, the only personal ap- pointment the new Comptroller has, came to light Saturday. Mr. Ma- loney's bond for $10,000 was submit- ted to the Corporation Counsel's of- fice for approval and this approval was promptly denied. Several aud- ited bills, bearing Mr. Maloney's signature as Deputy Comptroller, followed the same route and were likewise denied. Upon inquiring the reason for this action, Comptroller Collins was told that it would be necessary for him to resubmit his appointment of Mr. Maloney as made after January 1. No question has been raised as to Mr. Collins' right to appoint the Deputy Comptroller. In the case of his three other appointments, Miss Ann Woods, John C. Madsen and John J. Mulcahy, to minor posi- tions, the temporary objections are believed to be only a preliminary to a court fight over the power of Mr. Collins to remove civil service em- ployees. It was Indicated today that Mr. Collins is unwilling to resubmit his appointments, contending that his original action was based on sound legal advice. Rumbles of war be- tween the otherwise Democratic ad- ministration and Mr. Collins' office are being heard. The new Comp- troller expressed himself today in no uncertain terms against what he terms "the petty tactics and nig- gardly politics of the Corporation Counsel's office. ""v The Corporation Counsel's office explained its position in the matter today as follows: "On December 24, a paper pur- porting to appoint Mr. Maloney was presented to the City Clerk, signed by Comptroller-elect Collins. I This was. on the face of it, an at- | tempt to perform an official act | before entering office. When Mr. Mlaoney's bond was presented for approval by this office Saturday, we informed Mr. Collins that the bond was satisfactory, hut that it could not be approved until the appoint- ment had been made in the legal way. "The Corporation Counsel's office has no desire to obstruct Mr. Col- lins 1 in the conduct of his office, but because of the importance of the Comptroller's position in the scheme of city jrovernment, we are unwill- ing to allow any procedure which might later result In the question- ing of an official act on the Grounds of illegal appointment. The Comptroller's office, dealing with local banks and acting on all city finances, must not be heWofWri • o any such possibility." Plows and Sander Used for First Time Yesterday One of the sanders owned by the county sanded parts of the Poesten- kill-Berlin*Road yesterday.

$10,000 FORTUNE LOST, MAN TRIES

TO ENDHIS LIFE Suicide Attempt in Fourth Street <v Rooming House Frustrated.

Despondent a t the thought of facing poverty after Stock Market losses had wiped out life savings of $10,000, Edward Bail, about 40 years old, a natlv/^of Leominster, Mass., attempted to end his life 'today in a rooming house a t 87 Fourth S t r ee t

"L can't last any longer," he wrote in what was to have been his farewell note. "Five cents is all I've got left of $10,000 hard-earned money. God bless my soul!" *

"Goodby all." Other occupants of the rooming

house smelled escaping gas and found the man unconscious in his room. He was revived by the in-halator and taken to the Troy Hos­pital, where this afternoon at­taches said his condition was favor­able. >

Came Here Recently. At the house, it was said that

Bail" h a d taken a room there about three weeks ago. He told the man­ager of the rooming house that he was a weaver by t rade and came to this city seeking work. He was practically without funds, it was stated, and told of^loslng a consid­erable fortune in the Stock Market recently. His expensive clothes seemed to bear out this story. •

A few minutes after 11 o'clock this morning Ernes t Carreau, a roomer in the house» smelled leak­ing gas as he was walking through the hall. He summoned his brother, George Carreau, manager of the place, and the two broke down the door to Bail's room. They found the man, clad only in? trousers and shirt, stretched on the bed. He had evidently turned *the gas jet on, inhaled the fumes through a paper tube until he was overcome, and then fell back on the bed.

Fire Chief Casey and Chauffeur Edgar Keene were summoned with the inhalator. Patrol Driver Ed­ward Smith and Pa t ro lman Joseph Smith were also on the scene.

The political dispute over Comp­troller-elect Lawrence J . Collins' ap­pointments to the Comptroller's of­fice spread today to include Edward Maloney, Mr. Collins' designee for the office of Deputy Comptroller.

I t was announced tha t the Corpo­ration Counsel's office had refused to accept the appointment of Mr. Maloney, made before Comptroller Collins took office January 1, unless the designation be resubmitted. I t is understood t h a t this action is based upon the same objections, raised by the Corporation Counsel's office to three minor appointments to Civil Service places in Comptrol­ler Collins' office. I t is contended tha t Mr. Collins had no authority to make appointments until he official­ly took office J a n u a r y 1, and tha t therefore all his appointments made before that time were invalid.

The latest move to block, tempo­rarily at least, the only personal ap­pointment the new Comptroller has, came to light Saturday. Mr. Ma-loney's bond for $10,000 was submit­ted to the Corporation Counsel's of­fice for approval and this approval was promptly denied. Several aud­ited bills, bear ing Mr. Maloney's signature as Deputy Comptroller, followed the same route and were likewise denied. Upon inquiring the reason for this action, Comptroller Collins was told t ha t it would be necessary for him to resubmit his appointment of Mr. Maloney as made after J a n u a r y 1.

No question has been raised as to Mr. Collins' r igh t to appoint the Deputy Comptroller. In the case of his three other appointments, Miss Ann Woods, John C. Madsen and John J. Mulcahy, to minor posi­tions, the temporary objections are believed to be only a preliminary to a court fight over the power of Mr. Collins to remove civil service em­ployees.

I t was Indicated today tha t Mr. Collins is unwilling to resubmit his appointments, contending tha t his original action was based on sound legal advice. Rumbles of war be­tween the otherwise Democratic ad­ministration and Mr. Collins' office are being heard. The new Comp­troller expressed himself today in no uncertain te rms against what he terms "the pet ty tactics and nig­gardly politics of the Corporation Counsel's office. ""v

The Corporation Counsel's office explained its position in the mat ter today a s follows: „ "On December 24, a paper pur­porting to appoint Mr. Maloney was presented to the City Clerk, signed by Comptroller-elect Collins. I This was. on the face of it, an at- | tempt to perform an official ac t | before entering office. When Mr. Mlaoney's bond w a s presented for approval by this office Saturday, we informed Mr. Collins tha t the bond was satisfactory, hut that it could not be approved until the appoint­ment had been made in the legal way.

"The Corporation Counsel's office has no desire to obstruct Mr. Col­lins1 in the conduct of his office, but because of the importance of the Comptroller's position in the scheme of city jrovernment, we are unwill­ing to allow any procedure which might later result In the question­ing of an official act on the Grounds of illegal appointment. The Comptroller's office, dealing with local banks and acting on all city finances, mus t not be heWofWri • o any such possibility."

Malady Thus Far Have - Failed.

Attempt to cure a six-day siege of hiccouphs having failed, Charles Taylor, 27-year-old Negro of 493 Second Avenue, Lansingburgh, is in a serious condition in the Leon­ard Hospital.

A novel a t tempt to cure the un­usual malady was made a t the hos­pital today. A large paper bag was placed over the patient 's mouth and nose and he was told to exhale into the bag and then breath In the air that he had exhaled. I t waa thought t ha t the carbon dioxide thus inhaled would prove effective, but because of the patient's weak­ened condition they were unable to give the experiment a thorough trial. The method was recommend­ed in the American Journal of Medicine.

Mr. Taylor was stricken byt the hiccough last Tuesday. He waa treated by Dr. James L. Spencer of Albany a t his home, but when his condition failed to improve he was removed to the hospital*
