Baltimore, Dec. .—Mrs. Clara Bloodgood, the actress, committed suicide by shooting in her room at the Hotel Stafford here. Mrs, Blood- good's body was found lying on the bed with a bullet hole through the voof of her mouth. She had attend- ed a matinee performance at Al- baugh's theater in the afternoon and CLARA BLOODGOOD. returned to her hotel about 4 o'clock, seemingly in the best of spirits. Before retiring to her room Mrs, Bloodgood had a talk with her stage manager, John Emerson, who de- clares that he observed nothing un- usual in her demeanor. The only mo- tive he can ascribe is that Mrs, Blood- good feared an attack of nervous prostration. She feared a breakdown. Big Sum in Suspended Bank. New York, Dec. .—Friends of Clara Bloodgood, the actress who killed her- self at Baltimore, state that she had been somewhat worried over the financial flurry in New York, although they do not believe that this worry had enough effect on her mind to It is said that a large sum of money recently left to 'her by relatives was deposited in-one of the banks which recently closed its doors, Intimate friends state that the sum tied up in the bank is dt least $250,000. DEPOSITS ON THE INCREASE Money Stringency Ne: Nearing the End at Chicago. Chicago, Dec. .—There are many indications here that the money stringency iIs nearing its end. The banks report that no withdrawal no- tices are being filed, while many pre- viously given are being cancelled. Deposits are on the increase. No more clearing house checks are be- Ing issued, but on the contrary the banks are redeeming large amounts of the emergency currency. Already, with Christmas three wecks away, the volume of registered mail handled at the Chicago post- office is 28 per cent in excess of what it was at this time last season, While the financial stringency does not seem to have affected the send. ing of Christmas presents it has shown fits effects elsewhere, according to Peter Newton, secretary of the board of examiners of the United States civil service commission, “Up to two or three weeks ago,” sald Mr. Newton, “we had had a con- tinuous famine in postal clerks and carriers. We couldn't get applicants enough to take examinations and fill vacancles. Now, however, since some industries have been closed down or have discharged employes, we are swamped with appncams i ONE JAPANESE KILLED. 8mall Uprising Occurs at the Korean Capital.

Tokio, Dec. .—A strong movement has developed in an unexpected quar- ter looking to the prohibition of emi- gration of all laborers to the United States and Canada and it i3 under- stood that a number of prominent people, former members of the cab- inet and others, intend to urge the adoption of such a measure. They will require the government to under- take the development upon a large scale of Hokkaldo, Korea and Man- churia in order to give employment to Japanese. Hold Back Some Panama Bonds. ‘Washington, Dec. .—Although no official confirmation of the matter can be had at this time there seems to be some basis for the statement that Secretary Cortelyou will not award the full $50,000,000 of Panama canal bonds. Rumors place the amount that will be awarded at $30,000,000 and pos- sibly a slightly smaller sum. PRAISE FOR ROOSEVELT. Prominent Jap Official Sends Message of Thanks, Toklo, Dec. 7.—Viscount Kaneko has cabled President Roosevelt as follows: “The whole empire is rejoicing at your strong recommendation that America should participate in our ex- position and I thank you on behalf of and with the authority of the people of Japan.” This dispatch is significant, as Vis- count Kaneko is a member of the privy council. In an interview with the representative of the Associated Press Viscount Kaneko said: “President Roosevelt is always the firm friend of Japan and he brings out before the world what Japan is whenever the opportunity offers. His message of 1906 eulogized Japan in words which have become a classic with the Japanese people. This year agaln he has clearly stated the posi- tion of Japan and his message in relation thereto s commented upon erervwhere with appreciation and fov President Roosevelt’s message {s re- garded as indicative of the true spirit of the American people, depicting the character of the true American who says what he thinks and does what he says.” Lakor Leader May Recover. Boston, Dec. 7.—Edward Cohen of Lynn, the president of the Massachu- setts state branch of the American Federation of Labor, who, with Den- nis Driscoll, secretary of the state branch, was shot at the statehouse here by J.

Sunday Lid Causes Sulcide. Chicago, Dec. 7.—Two saloonkeep- ers have committed suicide here and the members of thelr familles at- tribute their deaths solely to worry lest the Sunday closing agitation of the Law and Order league ruin their business and cause them to lose the savings they had invested in their saloons. MRS. LLOYD INDIGTED Alleged Waman Forger Refuses to Give Her Real Wame. Rochester, Minn., Dec. .—Nine in- dictments have been returned against Mrs. Annfe Lloyd by the grand jury of Olmsted county. Six of the charges were for forgery in the second degree and three times she is charged with obtaining money by means of bogus checks. Mrs. Lloyd appeared before the Judge with the same smile that char- acterized the young woman in her previous appearances before the city justice. Calm and determined she listened to the reading of each count. Upon being asked her true name by the county attorney she refused to answer, Her attorney, Mr. Spillane, who was with her, answered that she would stand trial under the name as given in each indictment. STRIKEBREAKERS TOLD TD]’iO Waited on by a Committee of Butte Union Men. Butte, Mont.,, Dec. —Five nonun- ion Dbollermakers, imported by the Northern Pacific Railroad company from Kansas City to take the places of the striking boilermakers in this city, were surprised at their work at midnight by fifty union men, commit- tees frdm the various labor organiza. tions of Butte. The union men sur- rounded the strikebreakers, quietly telling them that unless they ceased work and “made ‘tracks out of town” trouble would result. The strikebreak- ers at once left the city. A number of Japanese laborers were also frightened and they, too, quit work, France Will Further Assist, Parls, Dec. .—The Associated Press is informed by an authority competent to speak in the premises that the Bank of France, expressing the desire of France further to assist the United States financially, will continue in- definitely to remit gold to the United States by discounting American com- mercial paper or else by sending gold to England through the purchase of time sterling bills.

NO WRITTEN NOTE GIVEN Foreign Minister Hayashi Proposes to Limit Emigration to Students and Commercial Men With Means.and Cuts Off All Laborers. Toklo, Dec. 9.—There is reason to believe that the entire question of em- igration of Japanese to America has been satisfactorily settled, at least for the present, after the series of confer: ences which have been held between United States Ambassador O’Brien and Minister of Forelgn Affairs Haya- shi. It is understood that at their last meeting the representative of the Jap- anese government outlined a plan by which it is agreed to limit emigration tq students and commercial men hav- ing means of support and entirely to prevent Japanese laborers from going to America. This arrangement will entall the closest supervision on the part of the Japanese authorities. As the agreement is verbal Ambassador O’Brien accepts it provisionally, but maintained that any violation of its terms would seriously embarrass a friendly government. It is sald that Foreign Minister Hayashi has determined to exercise absolute control in the matter. Ro- dolphe Lemieux, the Canadian minis- ’ \ il VISCOUNT HAYASHI. ter of labor, will hold a final confer- ence with Minister Hayashi and Baron Ishii shortly, when he will receive the same assurances in regard to a limita- tion of emigration by Japanese as the United States, no more and no less, the Japanese government being deter- mined not to give any written note on the subject. The Progressive party is preparing for an active campaign in the diet in opposition to the government’s policy to restrict emigration to America and Canada. It is improbable, however, that it will succeed in mustering suffi- clent strength to create a serious sit- uation. Meanwhile the foreign office remains firm in its determination not to yield to the importunities of the emigration companies nor of others who sympathize with them, WAR ON HEAD HUNTERS. Japs Using Electricity in Effort to Wipe Out Savages. San Francisco, Dec. 9.—The exter- mination of savage, murderous head hunters by electrocution is the latest novelty introduced by the Japanese in Formosa. Walter Clifton, manager of a Formosa mercantile company, who arrived here on the Japanese liner America Maru, is authority for the statement that to wipe out this tribe, Wwhich is retarding the commercial de- velopment of Formosa, heroic meas- ures are being adopted by the Japa- nese. “These head hunters,” said Clifton, “number about 100,000 ‘and infest the entire east coast of the island. All efforts to civilize them have failed. They recently inveigled a party of 300 Chinese and Japanese into an ambush on the pretense of showing them some treasure and killed all but three. “In punishment for this treachery the Japanese inaugurated a method of electrocution. Iarge bodies of troops were sent out and now When a com- pany of head hunters is located the place is surrounded by a wire fence. The wires are charged with electrie- ity. The soldiers begin to shoot, the savages stampede and then the deadly wires get those that the bullets miss.” Wisconsin Woman a Suicide. Marinette, Wis., Dec. 9.—Mrs. Alma Parrish of Peshtigo committed suicide at her home in Peshtigo after she had locked herself in her bedchamber.

NO EVIDENCE OF A RUN. Failure at Kansas City Without Ef. fect on Other Banks, Kansas City, Dec. .—There is no evidence of a run on any of the local banks.
