$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."
