HX-CONG RESSMAN EDJVARD GILMORE Ex-Congressman Edwa-rd Gilmore, who was Postmaster of Brockton from 1915 until 1923 and Congressman from 1912 till 1914, a prominent political figure In the 14th Congressional District, dropped dead at 6:36 last evening at the State House. i Apparently death was caused by exertion through hurrying up Beacon Hill to attend a university extension course in business law. Mr Gilmore, arriving at the class after it had started, signed his attendance slip and, just as he handed it to Miss Catherine Tobln fell back dead.

His classmates in the course, which is conducted by Frank J. Donahue, rushed to his assistance. Mr Donahue summoned physicians, but on their arrival they stated he was dead. Mr Gilmore's death caused great sorrow about the State House. For several years he had busied himself on Beacon Hill as an active member of the House of Representatives from Brockton.

Greatly affected by the death, Mr Donahue dismissed the law class, which, when Mr Gilmore arrived, had been in session about 20 minutes. The class was in Room 117. Members of the class observed that Mr Gilmore appeared breathless when he arrived, as if. reaching Boston late from Brockton, he hurried too greatly over the hill from- tte South Station. In his political career, Mr Gilmpre.

who at the time of his death was a member of the Brockton Board of Assessors, was known as a fair fighter, dulv considerate of those not in accord with him. He entered politics when young and gained prominence early. For five years he was an Aledrman. Besides being a member of the Democratic City Committee in Brockton, he was active for seven years as a member of the Democratic State Committee. In 1900 he contested unsuccessfully for the office of Mayor of Brockton.

He showed his political popularity In 1907. when, in the Republican Plymouth District, he won election as Representative and the following year he was re-elected. Mr Gilmore in 1912 was elected to Congress In the new 14th district. While in that position, he was made postmaster of Brockton bv President Wilson and continued in that office. four years.

Mr Gilmore was born in Brockton Jan 4. 1867, and was educated in the public schools of that city. He was a member of the Brockton branches of the A. O. Knights of Columbus.

Massachusetts Catholic Order of Foresters, the Emmet Club, Huffman Club and the Massasoit Club. On labor matters he was known as a persistent advocate of the rights of laboring men. Mr Gilmore is survived by his wife and five sons. He lived at 50 Grove st, Brockton. MRS TELL SAYS SHE KILLED MAN WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. April 10 A resolution proposing to discharge the special Senate Committee investigating the Internal Revenue Bureau from that work immediately was introduced in the Senate late today by Chairman Watson, Republican of Indiana, of the Investigating committee. The resolution merely directed that the committee "be. and it hereby is discharged" from the investigation it has been conducting under a resolution introduced by Senator Cousens, Republican of Michigan.

Under the rules the resolution will not come up for Senate action until tomorrow. While the resolution made no statement as to the reason for quashing the investigation, it was an open secret that Senators Watson and Ernst of Kentucky, the two Republican members of the investigating committee, decided upon that course in conference with Republican leaders as a consequence of Senator Couzens' determination to employ Francis J. Heney of California as special counsel for the investigating committee, paying Heney's expenses in that connection out of his own pocket. There was no debate when Senator Watson introduced the resolution. Tho Indiana Senator made no statement in connection with its introduction and Senator Couzens was not in the Declares Employer Forced Attentions on Her Witness in Her Suit Alleging Alienation ot Affections Special WlreleM to the Globe ROME, April 10 Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of the wireless, has been divorced by his wife, who is the daughter of the British peer, Lord Inchiquin, it was learned today.

Lady Marconi already has married again and the inventor is about to do- so, it is said. It had been announced that Lady Marconi's divorce petition, filed at Fiume. had been entered after the city came under Italian sovereignty. Under the new regulations, Italian law forbidding divorce prevails in Fiume. However, it appears Lady Marconi's petition just got in under the wire and was granted.

Almost immediately she quietly married the Marquis Marlg-noli and is spending the honeymoon at his family place near Spoleto. The divorce was hardy a surprise. Friends of the family have expected it for some time and there has been much gossip about the inventor's domestic relations. He was expected to marry Donna Paola Medici dl Vascello, a famous society beauty whose doings never fail to thrill the Roman world. However, it is now said that Marconi, though in his 50's, will marry the 20-year-old daughter of the Marquis Casati of Milan.

The young marquise Is scarcely known at all In society but her father is a great sportsman and her mother used to attract a good deal of notoriety by walking about with parrots and strange animals for escorts. Marconi has three daughters, the eldest about to make her debut. Friends of the Inventor say he will never be content to settle down permanently with his young bride, either In England or Italy. It Is supposed, therefore, that his wife will accompany him on Mis experimental voyages in hi yacht. (Copyright.
