Bince the police raids drove them to Porty-sixth etreet Laum meemed despondent. She complained @evere pains in the head, and often said whe wished she were dead. She was in ‘the kitchen pressing her hands to her temples Thursday night when “Aunt Emma," a colored employee at tie sPlace, was leaving. | "Good-by, Auntie,” she sald, “you'll never see me again. To-morrow Is your day off, and when you get back Ili be gone.” “How yo' talk, chile," — replied | “Auntie.” “Yo! git dat fool noshun! ut yo’ head.” “No, auntie, I mean it," sald the! woman, wearlly turning away and sinking with a sob into a chair. ‘This is the story “Aunt Dmma’ . and declares that Laura Foote se-| cured a pistol and shot herself. | Her Companions Flee. | Karly to-day an excited and hatless woman ran up to Patrolman McAuley | on West Forty-sixth street and told ‘him that a woman had just been shot 4m Lillie Ciifton's house. “Who did it?’ asked the policeman. “Oh, don't ask me; but come. quick!” the woman cried hysterically. When McAuley reached the house it was deserted except for the wounded nd his informant. The former lying partially dressed on a bed and dlood was flowing from a wound in her | ‘ott breast, Nowhere in sight was the/ + volver. x ‘The woman was conscious and pleaded Not to be taken to the hospital>and then she asked the other woman if every one had left the house. When assured that ail had gone the woman recovered much nd was insistent in telling the policeman that no one had shot her, No, indeed, no one was with her and no one had shot her, she in- sisted. She said she was taking a re- volver from the dresser drawer when it Gropped from her hand to the floor and exploded a cartridge. An Impossible Explanation. The doctors say it would have been physically impossible for the bullet to| take the course it did through her body | if the shot had been fired as she said. | MeAuley called an ambulance and| took the womun to Roosevelt Hospital, where the doctors said she had very Uttle chance of recovery. | Two houre later a carriage drove up fo the hospital and Lillle Clifton, with & woman whom sne called Mrs. Hanna, |line, stepped out.

When it was repeated to them the Clifton woman turned to her companion and said in a loud voice, as| though she wished the d tendants to hear: “Isn't it a shame? Why did she want to do that in my house? If she wanted to shoot berself, why didn't she go and| hire a room somewhere for a dollar in-| stead of doing it in my place?” Saved by the “System.” MoAuley burried to the station to| make bis réport, and, after a consulta- tion of the dignitaries there, the | wounded ‘woman's name way placed on} blotter and she wi formaily | obarged with attempting to commit su cide.

(Continued from First Page.) when no man could tell the outcome until the boats were almost to the finishing line, In the run out Capt. Barr overplayed himself. Twice at least he went about with the intention of leading Shamrock astray, but Capt. Wringe | was too foxy for him. Otherwise Capt. Barr would have fed to the outer mark by a wider margin, Shamrock sailed better in fresh winds, while Reliance gained when the wind softened. In the opinion of experts to-| day's race thus far assures the retention of the Cup. FINE SEAMANSHIP AT THE START, The start of to-day’s race was preceded by as pretty a spectacle of jockeying for position as has ever been observed in a cup race, and in this Capt. Barr, with Reliance, had all the best of it. Try as Capt, Wringe would he could not get to windward of the elusive Yankee craft, and shortly before the starting gun was fired Barr had his boat close to the line and in the cc ymoxainding berth, i The great crowd on the excursion boats had cheered and cheered | again at intervals of seconds for half an hour. On the way out from the lightship to the starting point the rival skippers began their manouevring, and when the preparatory gun was fired at 14.30 their plans were ma- | tured. Here it was that the consummate seamanship of Capt. Barr came into play. | Shamrock passed the tug Navigator. marking one end of the starting on the inside, Capt. Wringe bearing into Rellanca Back and forth the | yachts shifted, moving with: the quickness of birds RELIANCE: WINS POSITION. Both boats approached the line on the starboard tack, each captain holding off and watching the other. Then Reliance went off to the east-| ward, closely followed by Shamrock. The yachts sailed about a mile trom | followed sult, and they sailed don across the line like a team. When the warning gun was fired, at 11.40 o'clock, they stood back for the line, and, Reliance, holding up more than her rival, slid into the weather position. Capt. Wringe was across the line almost as soon as the sound of the starting gun reached him, and a great groan went up from the excursion boats. But it was so apparent that Capt. Barr could have gone across the line at least on even terms with Shamrock that he must have lagged back for a purpose. It is believed that Capt. Barr timed his departure on the course so as/ to cut down as much as possible any time allowance that might accrue in| case he should win the race, Apparently, he had planned to outpoint Shamrock and overhaul, her as he did on Thursday, GAINING ON THE CHALLENGER. Ten minutes after the start the yachts were holding toward the south on the starboard tack, and from shore it looked as if Reliance was gain- ing a trifle, As soon as the yachts started off the excursion fleet immediately made after them, but the policing of the course by the revenue cutters and other boats was so good that. the yachts were not hindered in the slightest degree. ‘The wind, which early In the day was from the west-southwest, seemed to be getting more to the southward, and the boats had every paratively smooth sea and a fifteen-knot breeze. ‘The contest immediately developed into a close, exciting one, for Re- liance seemed to plok up and to be to windward of Shamrock, but she/ was unable to get by. At 12.11 the American boat swung around on the port tack and headed for the Jersey shore. Shamrock kept on two min-| utes longer before tacking to port, This tack developed into a longs run in-shore, and as the time passed {t was evident that the Shamrock was doing better on the port tack than on the starboard, As the yachts worked down toward the outer coast. In the first fifty minutes of racing the contest was so close that the excitement was intense to the thousands of spectators who were watching it from boat and shore. At 12.35 the yachts were still holding the port t-to Bellevue by way of. ‘Cure tor Piles, tick, standing toward Seabright, but fully eight miles off shore.

Shamrock continued on the starboard tack until a trifle to windward of Rellance’s wake, when she also went about and headed for the Jersey coast. In that time Reliance gained a commanding pos..ion to the windward and ahead of her opponent, and the American enthusiasts began to feel As soon as she was well to weather of Shamrock, Reliance tacked in shore again, and when Shamrock, holding on until she crossed her oppo- nent’s wake, also tacked. it looked as if Reliance was leading by fully a quarter of a mile, After sailing on this les for about fifteen minutes it appeared as if Rellance had drawn still further away. At 1.25 the yachts were within five miles of the outer mark. The wind still held strong and true from the southwest at about twelve knots, and there was-every prospect of a quick run back to the finish under spin- nakers, \ TREMENDOUS FLEET OF EXCURSIONISTS. Great as was the aggregation of excursion boats and yachts outside the Hook on Thursday, it was doubled to-day, Everything that could float and could be epared from business was utilized for the accommodation of the sport-loving public. From the Highlands as far as the eye could see north and south there was visible a line of pleasure craft steaming down the bay from the Nar-| rows, out past the low, brown end of Sand Hook, and off to where the sky and water met beyond the flagship. Every boat was jammed, As they passed the Horseshoo, \where the two yachts were moored, the rush of passengers to starboard for the first view of the racers heeled the boats until it appeared almost certain that some of them must turn turtle. What with the noise of bands and continual bark and roar of whistles, the slapping of flags and pennants in the breeze and the soothing splash of the waves against the hulls it was an occasion to etir the blood and make the pulses quicken. Uncertainty as to the outcome was increased by the fact that Sham- rock III, must be remeasured Monday. The race to-day is sailed subject to this remeasurement.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.—Despond- ent because her husband, a textile worker, has been on strike for weeks and the family was about to be dispos- sessed from thelr home, Mrs. Roder to- day turned on the gas in her apart- ments and lay down with hee four chil- dren to dle.

When the landlord no- tiled her that she would have to thove to-day, her rent being overdue, she con- chided to Kill herself and ‘children. ‘The woman and children are in a dan- gerous condition and may not recover. Roder, who {s sald by his nelghbors to be sober and attentive to his fam- fly, declared that he had not been able to get work of any kind since the tex- tile strike was orderad several weeks ago, und his money and his credit had given out.
