CUT THROAT “AFTER LOSSES Millionaire Washington Sel- igman Dropped Nearly $200,000 Before Slash- ing Himself with a Razor, RECOVERING FROM WOUND. \Anita Sutherland, Actress, of ; Whom He Was Said to Be | Jealous, Insists that Cutting { Was Due to Accident. i ‘Washington Seligman, the millionaire ker, will not die as a result of the slashing he gave himself with a razor @t the Hotel Rossmore last night. Anita Gutherland, the actress, on whose ac- count it 1s supposed Seligman cut him- eelf, thinks the affair was an accident. “If it wasn't,” she sald to-day, "Washington ’ was out of his head. {He had been comuplaining of the heat all day.

A little lower down and the wound ‘would have proved fatal. Miss Guther- tand, after the police arrived at the hote] last night, said that Seligman had tried to commit suicide. She says to- day that if she made this statement it was done under stress of excitement and| had no foundation, Seligman was a familiar figure around Forty-second street and Broadway. He ‘mas a gloomy, silent individual, who made few friends. Generally he was een in the company of Miss Suther- Jand until lately, when it was common gossip atong Broadway that they had quarrelled. For the past two weeks he was unusually morose. He was ex- tremely jealous of Miss Sutherland, to when he was very generous. She 4s one of the best dressed women in the Tenderloin and is well known about the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Heavy Losses in Wall Street. It Js reported that Seligman confessed to a detective that he attempted suicide because of Wall street reverses. There is some basis for his assertion that he has-jost a lot of money recently. -He was long on St. Paul when that stock began to slump and yesterday he closed out. It is estimated that the deal cost him: Detween $100,000 and $200,000, but iis ‘Wall street associates say that he could} woll afford to lose this sum. Neverthe- less he was greatly downcast at the close of the market. It was sald in Wall street to-day that he passed a wroup of brokers at Broadway and Wall street late in the afternoon, and one of them remarked: “Seligman looks like man on his way to Kil himself.” In Brokerage Business, Seligman was until recently a member of the banking and broking firm of Seligman & Van Antwerp, Ne 52 Broad- way, but since the dissolution of that partnership he has been in business by himself. He has been a frequent It not daily trader on the floor of the Stock Exchange. He isa brother of Jefferson, De Witt and Eugen? Seligman and a cousin of Isaac N. Seligman. Washington Seligman and Anita Gutherland had dinner last night at the Gotel Metropole, next door to the Roas- more, and returned to thelr apartments fn the Rossmore a few minutes before 8 o'clock. These apartments vunsist of three rooms on the Broadway side. There were two bedrooms, separated by @ sitting room, doors connecting the three rooms.
