TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
Chief Witness in Murder Case
Hangs Himself

Oconto, Wis, Nov. 15.-August Pohl,
principal witness in the case of the
state against Albert Swanson, who is
to be tried on the charge of murder at
this term of the circuit court, was this
morning found dead in the house of a
friend with whom he was stopping in
the town of Low, having committed
suicide by hanging. 1t is alleged that
Pohl and companion hired Swanson
to kill Adam Lescheck last April and it
is supposed that he feared should he
appear in court Swanson might di-
vulge his connection with the affair.
The fact that Annie Peterson, also an
important witness in the case, was
yesterday taken in custody at Green
Bay and remanded to Jail to insure
her presence at the trial may have had
something to do with Pohls decision
to take his own life. 1t is said that
Swanson confessed to the woman, who
is said to have told the story to an
other man.

though the conditions of electric light

spects from those in America, there
are some points about the enterprise
which are worth considering as appli
cable wherever limited quantities of
current are required. The corporation
which has the right to the penny-in-th the

contracts with electric supply compa-
MES or municipal corporations for the
supply of electric energy: to wire and
fit out for electric lighting premises,
such as small stores, etc, Of consuln-

advantage of electric supply compa-
MES to combine with the syndicate, as
the introduction of the penny-in-the-
slot system will col sderably increase
the earning capacity of their plant.
For instance, Willie the average reve-

ty Will be Concluded Between
Great Britain nnd Venezuela.

London, Nov. Is. The following
semi-official statement on the Ven
eZuelan question was issued last night:
''Misapprehensions appear to exist as

Britain agreed with the United States
conditions of the arbitration. An
actual treaty for this purpose will be
concluded between Great Britain and
Venezuela. But the previous agree
ment outlining the treaty's main pro-
visos has already been made between
Great Britain and the United States
and removes the prospect of any diff
ficulty between Venezuela and Great
Britain in regard to the terms of the
treaty. The decision of the arbitration
court is not expected under twelve
months. Anent the term of years
mentioned in the agreement it is ad
mitted that there are practically no
