NEW YORK, Oct. u. - Walton O.
kernochan, a wealthy young man who oc-
cupied bachelor apartments in the Delta
Phi club, No. 5, East Twenty-seventh
street, blew his brains out in his bed
chamber early this morning. He placed
the muzzle of revolver in the center of
his forehead while sitting on the edge of
his bed, fully dressed in evening attire.
report of the pistol rang loudly
through the building, and other
occupants left their beds in alarm and
hurried inio the hall. TIE first impress
sion that prevailed among the semi clad
young men was that murder had been
committed.' A policeman who was sum
moned forced his way into the room. and
found the young man lying dead with a
CHASTITY wound in the forehead. beside
the body lay the revolver covered with
blood. The greatest excitement fol-
lowed the discovery. He was one
of the wealthiest members of the
club. None of the other members
of the fraternity would express any other
opinion than that the man shot himself
while temporarily insane, produced by in
somonia, from which he had suffered
greatly for many weeks. He was twenty
seven years old. His father, John A. Ker-
nochan, who died about three years ago.

milling interests in Pittsfeld, Mass,

his death Walton and his brother, Joseph
H., at present in the insurance business

tune that was left. Louise M. Kernochan,
stepmother of the suicide, left for Pitts
field Friday night, and word of the sad
occurrence was teegraphed to her
today, The young man was some
thing of hypochondriac, and for
mo- tbs past has been under treatment for
numerous disorders. His friends say that
in most cases the ailments were more
imaginary than real. Kernochan was a
member of the New York Jockey club and
the Gallup ct club, and wal interested in

and crooked, and the narrow stairway is
in the center of the structure A very lit

Mrs. Robinson, who eaped from the
fourth story of the building after being
roasted alive, died at the county hospital

of either of her limbs She was burned
almost to a crisp over her entire person,
save where protected by her corset, which
she had not taken off when retiring.

rrue FacCs About the Prices of
American Machines at Home
and Abroad.
poorbacks of the Free Traders
Cruelty Exposed by Consul
Dunlap.
Agricultural Machinery Cheaper
TO American Farmers than to
People Any Where Else in
the World

Having demonstrated the absolute falsity
# the charge that American manufacturers
ell agricultural implements abroad
more cheaply than to our own people, it
now proposed TO go even further and show
That there is neither inducement nor neces-
.itv for them to do so. The fundamental
assumption on which the tree-trade propa-
gandists base their crudely constructed
blood curdling caption of war on the far
mer, is that the tariff on agricultural
machinery enables 'the manufacturer to
charge exhorbitant prices. In other words,
in the absence Of the protective duty, cheap
German and English plows would enter
our markets and compel our manufacturers
TO reduce the present price of American
plows to American farmers. These theo-
rists think they know or affect to believe
that the German ana English agricultural
machinery retails at much less price than
do similar implements in this tariff OPP
pressed country If ours.
United States Consul H. J. Dunlap
cruelty demolishes this argument in his
latest report from Breslau, Germany. He
attended the annual exhibition of agricul-
tural machinery held in Breslau last June
and make good use of his opportunity to
gather complete and reliable information
as to the retail prices and merits, not only
of German, but also OF English agricutur-
al machinery of all kinds. His report to
the state department of what he saw and
learned ought to cover with confusion
those n-American ''reformers," who con-
tinually mourn because compelled 20 buy
inferior American manufactured pro-
ducts,
The most hattering proof Of the super
iorlty of American agricultural machinery
is the fact that the Germans have initiated
it so largely. Formerly American manu-
facturers had agents and extensive ex
hibits at these annual expositions, but do
nestle limitations, aided 10y Germany pro-
tective tariff, have taken possession of the
German market for German manufacturers.
Five American firms were represented on
this occasion, whose retail prices on their
implements plainly prove that they are
higher abroad than at home.
Mr. Dunlap compiled the following
table of prices. Every farmer will see the
moment his eye falls upon them that
they are from Is to 100 per cent. higher
than the prices of similar articles in this
country
