London, Mar. 9.

The mysterious death last week of Sir William Veno,. the proprietor of the well- known "Lightning. Cough Cure," was investigated to- day at an inquest at Altrincham, Cheshire.

A verdict of suicide during im- pulsive insanity was returned by a majority verdict.

Sir William Veno went out shoot- ing rabbits last week from his! home, The Woodlands, Altrincham.

DOG LEADS MISTRESS.

An hour or so later, his dog returned, barking and fussing round Lady Veno, persuaded her that something was wrong and conducted her to the spot wherej her hushand was lying dead with a gun lying beside him.

There was a marked conflict of evidence as to whether or not. the gun could have been fired ac- cidentally.

Sir William Veno was born in Scotland and was 66 years of age.

PEKING, MAR. 10. SECRECY IS BEING PRESERVED REGARD- ING THE OUTCOME OF THE HIGHLY IM- PORTANT CONFERENCE BETWEEN MARSHAL CHIANK KAI-SHEK AND MARSHAL CHANG HSUEH-LIANG YESTERDAY AT CHANGHSIN- TIEN, NEAR PEKING. A SURPRISE WAS IN STORE WHEN IT WAS LEARNED THAT MR. T. V. SOONG WAS ALSO PRESENT.

The discussion between the two men most in the public eye in China to-day lasted for over eight hours, after which Chiang Kai-shek and Mr. T. V. Soong left by train for the south, and Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang returned to Peking.

The problems discussed are understood to have in-

cluded the future of North China, Marshal Chang Hsueh- liang's position (and his resignation), the control of the troops in the Feking area, including the incoming Central Government divisions, and the general plan for the defence of the country.

Some anxiety is felt lest the decisions reached pre- sage à forward policy which would bring the Japanese" forces inside the Great Wall Meanwhile, very severe fighting is undoubtedly taking place north of the Great Wall
