...Bulldog star was one of the features of the first day's competition. Russell ran well within himself and appears dangerous, while Hussey can always be counted on for a place among the leaders.

King, 51, formerly Republican National Committeeman from Connecticut, sank overcome by six days' illness with pneumonia and died. His death closed a strange career.

He became a power in Connecticut politics, a great friend of Boss (Senator...

S. degree in chemistry in three years (he matriculated at 18) that that University offered him an instructorship with a professorship in sight. The initial salary of $600 annually tempted him little. However, the academic life...
