EADS LIFE OF BOAT Legal Adviser to Governor of New York Suicides by Shooting. ACTION WAS RREMEDITATED Declares in Letter Found on His Body That He Had Often Contemplated Self-Destruction but Postponed It on Account of Others. New York, May 6.—Ernest W. Huft- cutt, formerly dean of the law school of Cornell university and legal ad- viser to Governor Hughes, shot him- self on board the Albany boat C. W. Morse coming down the Hudson river. His body was found upon the arrival of the Morse hidden behind a pile of chairs at the extreme after part of the upper deck. On the body was found an envelope addressed to “the coroner of New York” and in this were found two letters, one to the coroner and the other to Huffcutt's sister, Miss Lilllan Huffcutt of this city. Later Governor Hughes identified the body as that of his legal adviser. The let- ter to Lhe coroner read: * “Please let the addressed have other Jetter and body as soon as possible.” The other letter read as follows: “Dear Sister: I left for Ithaca to- night, but decided to take my body down to you in New York in order that I might be cremated. You will attend to that for me. If you have any difficulty call on my old friend, De L., who will assist you. “I am going down the river enjo: ing the prospect of going out to sea. The ashes I leave bekind may be di posed of at present as the others pre- fer, but eventually you will take them to East Lawn and do mot permit any public services of any sort anywhere. If the immediate family want private services in B. let it be soon, but have no one else. Deed Long Contemplated. “I was never so glad to rest in my life. Goodbye. I don’t want you or any of the others to be troubled about this. I've really postponed it often on account of others, but this time I am doing it. After all, in the end, one must have his own way of escape.” Governor Hughes was greatly affect- ed by Mr. Huffcutt’s death. The two men had been close friends for many years and the governor said he is completely at a loss to account for Huffeutt’s tragic act except that it might have been the result of over- work. “I knew Mr. Huffcutt very well for many years,” said the governor, “and always regarded him as a man of bril- lant attainments and one of the ablest men of his profession in the state.” Nervous strain dus to long contin- ued overwork resulting in insomnia is the probable cause of Huffcutt's sui- cide. Mr. Huffcutt was born at Kent, Conn,, in 1860 and was graduated from Cornell university in 1884. He was for a time private secretary to Pres- ident Andrew D. White at Cornell and was an instructor in English at Cor- nell in 1889-90. Later he was a pr fessor of law in Northwestern unive sity and Indiana university. In 1893 he returned to Cornell as a professor of law and in 1903 he was made dean of the faculty of law at Cornell uni- versity. He became counsel to the late Governor Higgins in 1906 and was retained in that capacity by Gov- ernor Hughes. POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING Wealthy Chicagoan Dies Under Sus- piclous Circumstances.

The telephone strike has crippled the service and the whole y: has " practically come to a The operators are now se- curing support from all directions and it is feared that the linemen will go out on a sympathetic strike, which will still further complicate the situa- tion. In the case of the emergency hospitals it has been found necessary to dispatch mounted police to act as messengers and general business has been seriously affected. The ironworkers are still firm in their demands and the proposition for a seitlement by arbitation has now been abandoned owing to the negative position taken by the trades council. TRAIN TAMPERED WITH. Wreckers Said-to Have Had Designs on King Edward. Geneva, May 6.—The overheating of an axle compelling the removal of a rom the train on which King Ed- wadrd was traveling to France is de- clared by newspapers here to have Dbeen® probably an attempt to wreck the train. Before entering the Simp- Ton {unnel the train was stopped as a measure of precaution at Sion and it was found that a grease box on one of the axles was missing. The train had been running at the rate of 100 kilometers au hour and the axle was white hot. 1f the train had gone a few miles further the axles might have fused and the cars would then have been derailed. It is said that the bolts and pins securing the box had deliberately removed. An in- v was immediately begun. ASSERTS HE WILL NOT HANG Declaration of Man Sentenced to Death for Second Time. Augusta, Ga.,, May 6—“T'll be d—d if they will hang me. When I get out of this trouble I will horsewhip those fellows in there.” These are some of the statements made by Arthur Glover after being sentenced for the second time to be hanged on May 24 for the murder of Maud Dean, his paramour. Giover, who was a detective, shot the woman dead without 2 moment’s warning. Not long before that he had shot a negro, but got clear. He has been in many criminal epiSodes.

THAS NARROW ESCAPE YACHT SYLPH IN COLLISION 8hock So Severe That the Flagpole Is Broken and Falls to the Deck in Close Proximity to the Wife of the Chief Executive. Washington, May 6.—Mrs. Roosevelt and a number of ladies who accom- panied her aboard “the yacht Sylph narrowly escaped a serious accident as the boat reached Washington on its return from a trip down the Po- tomac river. Through some misun- derstanding the boat went past her dock and crashed into a tugboat. The shock was so severe that the flagpole of the Sylph fell to the deck with a crash, narrowly missing Mrs. Roose- MRS. ROOSEVELT. velt and those with her, among whom were Mrs. Clifford Richardson of New York und Mrs. Bacon, the wife of the assistant secretary of state. For a time followlng the accident there was considerable excitement aboard the yacht, but the ladies were assured there was no danger and the vessel was backed to her dock, where the party disembarked without further adventure. Both yacht and tugboat were more or less damaged. The im- pression is that the engineer misun- derstood an order to reverse his en- gines as one to go forward, resulting in the collision. The racing launch of the Sylph was badly damaged. ~ The fact that the yacht was not proceed- ing at a rapid rate was regarded as fortunate, as otherwise the damage would have been considerable. ~ IMPRISONED IN ICE FIELDS Three Large Atlantic Liners Unable to Reach Port. Halifax, N. S., May 6.—Three large transatlantic liners are believed to be imprisoned in the vast ice fields that completely block Cabot strait between Newfoundland and Cape Breton and other lines in the Montreal and St. Lawrence service have been forced to land passengers and freight in this port after ineffectual attempts to pierce the impenetrable barrier. The Allan line steamer Sardinian, from London and Havre for Montreal, which was forced Into this port to land her 600 passengers, reports that im- bedded in the ice fields are two large steamers, the Allan liner Ontarian and Dominion liner Vaicouver.. The Allan line steamer Ionian is also believed to be fast in the ice. The fields stretch across Cabot strait for a distance of a littie over fifty miles and to add to the dangers of navigation a thick fog hangs over the coast.

Chicago, May 6.—That many of the rulings of the Interstate commerce commission are unjust to the shippers and that a rate discrimination is shown through these rulings are claims of the Illinois Manufacturers’ association, the traffic bureau of which organization met here and passed res- ‘olutions advising the amendment of certain sections of the interstate com- merce law, the enlargement of the commission and the appeal of commis- | of Illinois. Fully 100 trafiic managers of-some of the largest institutions of Chicago were present at the meeting. question of the uniform classification of freight rates formed one of the principal topics of discussion. As a result of the meeting the offi- cers and directors of the assoclation will attempt to secure the co-operation of every similar organization in the country, all of which will use their combined influence with President Roosevelt and with congress In an en- deavor to attain their purpose.

The | Condition of Chios Prevails in Republic of Guatemala. -I0INT ACTION IS POSSIBLE Mexico and United States May Take Steps to Stop Indiscriminate Arrests of Natives and Foreigners Following Attack on President. ‘Washington, May 6.—Ambassador Creel had a conference with state de- partment officials respecting the dis- turbed condition of affairs in Guate- mala. It appears from the advices the ambassador has received from the City of Mexico that a condition of chaos exists at Guatemala City follow- ing.the recent attempt to a.ssassing.te President Cabrera. The Mexican ac- count- is' that indiscriminate arrests are being made' of men, women and children, not only native Guatemalans but persons of other nationalities, and that these prisoners are being harsh- ly treated. It is understood that pro- tesis already have been made by the diplomatic representatives of other na- tions in Guatemala and that an at- tempt will be made to secure joint ac- tion by-Mexico and the United States to prevent a continuance of this pol- icy of indiscriminate arrests. In the event that the Mexican lega- tion in Guatemala City is closed and a diplomatic rupture between Mexico and Guatemala follows the refusal of the government of the latter country to extradite General Jose Lima, charged with complicity in the assas sination of General Barrillas, it is un- derstood that the affairs of the Mex- ican legation will be placed in charge of the American minister in Guate- mala, who also will look out for the interests of Mexican citizens in that country. ON MONARCHIST PLATFORM Well Known Frenchman Elected to Chamber of Deputies. Paris, May 6.—Jules Delahaye, the former supporter of the late General Boulanger, has just been elected, on a Monarchist platform, to the chamber of deputies from Cholet, department of the Main-and-Loire, center of a great textile manufacturing district and a town which figured in the wars of the Vendee. M. Delahaye, who was the author of the famous Boulangist mani- | festo of March 7, 1889, declared that the idea of a restoration of the mon- archy in France frightens no one. He added: “It appears to all to be preferable to the horrible shrew—the republic. The experiment which I have made should be repeated in all Catholic constitu- encies. Iam convinced that one thing alone inspires the disgust and fear of all honest men—the republic of the Clemenceaus, Briands and Vivianis and of the general Federation of La- bor.” v Doors of Convent Battered In. Nantes, France, May 6.—At day- light fifty mounted gendarmes sur- rounded the convent of the Ursulines here and when the sisters refused to open the doors the doors were bat- tered in.

Crough discovered a veln of what he and oth- ers who have seen the earth and the vellow particles found In it think is gold. It certainly looks like the preclous metal and Mr; Crough is con- vinced he has struck pay dirt. Not Up to His Name. George Peabody, the philanthropist, and John Bright often went to Ireland together to fish. One day they went a couple of miles up the Shannon be- tween Castleconnell and Killaloe. They had engaged the services of two boatmen, and as Bright and Peabody were keen anglers’they made a long day of it. On returning in the evening Bright, noticing a policeman on the river bank, asked what sum the boat- men were entitled to for their time. The constable said anything from seven and sixpence to 10 shillings. Bright turned to his companion, say- ing: “I ‘have no change, Peabody. Have you three half crowns?’ The millionaire produced the .coins and gave them to one of the boatmen, who said, “And is that all ye're givin’ me?” “That is all,” replied Peabody. “Well, that bates all I iver heard,” observed the boatman, adding, as he scratched his head:.“An’ they call ye Paybody. Faith, I should call ye Paynobody!"— London Standard. Always on Guard. Friend (to draper in his shop)—I no- tice that all your assistants squint most’ horribly.

Brains and Housekeeping. “I wonder why a brain no bigger than a salted almond is supposed to be good enough to keep house with,” re- marked a matron the other day, “while a nimble and comprehensive intellect 18 supposed to be necessary in a wom- an who goes in for a ‘career.’ I find my housekeeping gives employment to every faculty I have. If I don’t put out all the brain power I own, things don’t go well. Memory, executive abil- ity, observation, foresight—all are de- manded in organizing and running a home.

The Turkish Mangal. In most of the houses in Constanti- nople as well as in other citles of Tur- key heating in winter is done by means of the so called “mangal.” This con- sists principally of a receptacle for burning charcoal. A mangal may be nothing else than such a simple brass or iron receptacle or may be quite an artistic and expensive article of most rare and valuable workmanship. The charcoal 1s first - thoroughly burned through, and when it no longer emits/| any flame or odor the mangal is brought into the room for purposes of heating. Sometimes it happens that proper attention is not paid to the burning charcoal, with not infrequent fatal results. Force Exerted by the Heart.

This enormous force, if exerted by the. heart through a fixed rigid pipe, would shoot the blood along with each jerk at a rate of 200 feet a second. How- ever, the arteries, being elastic, are distended by the jerk or beat of the heart, and when the heart pauses after the beat the contraction of the arteries sends the blood along in a steady non- intermittent flow, which averages about one foot a second.
