WahpetOn Man Kills himself at

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Jan. O.
Frank E. Williams, freight agent at
this point for the Omaha railroad, com
mitted suicide last night at his room
in the West Superior hotel by shooting
himself through the brain The deed
was not discovered until l o'clock this
afternoon, when the chambermaid, fail
ing to arouse him, had the bellboy Ell
ter the room, finding him dead He
had evidently committed the act to-
wards midnight, as parties think they
heard shot at II o'clock. Williams
was found in bed, both hands grasping
a heavy, 44-caliber revolver, which he
still held to his temple, while the bed
was saturated with blood
Williams has been in Superior six
to another point, probably Ashland,
because of the establishment of a gen.
eral agency here. He was respondent
over this, but appeared in his usual
spirits last night
Williams was very we'll known in
st. Paul, where he was located before
coming here. He was a brother-in-
law Of William H. S. Wright, general
purchasing agent of the Omaha, and
his mother, Mrs. Brown, now lives with
Wright in st. Paul Williams father
lived at Hudson, Wis. Deceased was
thirty-six years Of age, and did not
appear to have any trouble
No note was left explaining his act,
and everything about his room was
undisturbed, great care having been
taken by him to spread a blanket over
the bed before shooting himself On
the dresser was a fresh box of Colt
cartridges, and his friends say the
heavy cavalry revolver did not belong
to him. The coroner has taken charge
OF the remains and will hold an in
quest.

MAY WHITES HEAD
Forms the Basis for "a Sermon by u
Mill City PhrenoIOgist.

May White, the confessed footpad
and amateur female highway manipu-
Iator, is proving quite an enigma to the
physicians and others who make ner-
vous diseases and moral phases of life
a study.
Prof. Windsor, who is an expert in
criminal craniology, and who has made
an extended study of character and
expression, has been greatly interested
in her case, and he was present in
Judge Belden's court room when the
girl received her sentence The pro
fessor stood within a few feet of the
girl as she stood before the bar an
swefing the searching questions Of the
judge and noted carefully all of her
answers and facial expressions. AS
soon as she was taken back to the 1ail
the professor, accompanied by Prof.
Frank Jungen, of this city, who is also
an enthusiastic phrenologist, and Mrs.
White, the mother of the girl, entered
the Jail and made a critical examinatio
with a mathematical device known as
as the phrenometer, by which accurate
drawings of various sections Of the
girls head were Immediately made.
This record will be preserved and used
for the benefit Of the girls further edu-
cation.
Prof. Windsor said later to reporter:
MAY White is an example Of a very
delicate and impressionable organiza-
ton, which has been allowed to partial

tempt at an education OF those facul-
ties Of mind which are responsible for
moral action. 1t is absurd to hold a
girl Of her character responsible for
crime, although she should not be
classed with either criminals, insane

April 20 and closed Dec. IA. During this
period the arrivals and clearances numbered

with but seventeen less arrivals recorded the
tonnage was only half million less, show
ing the tonnage of vessels to have been con-
siderably increased. This fact is due to the

JUDGE BELDEN's OPINION.

Judge Belden was informed of the
opinions of Prof Windsor, and after
locking at the diagrams admitted that
the professor had formed a very good
opinion.
Il took great pains to study the girl
myself" said the judge, "and was care
full to be certain that | made no mis-
take when I sentenced her. 1t certain
ly would have been a great wrong in
any event to have sent the girl to the
penitentfary, however depraved she
was, with Mitchell given no worse than
a reformatory sentence. 1 think, how
ever, that the professor has failed to
designate the girls ruling trait, and
in my opinion that is vanity In the
present instance, it is her idea that
this criminal life best feeds her vanity.
If her life had thrown her among other
associates she would have fed her
vanity in some other way less harmful
to society. She is a girl capable Of
very bright things within certain limits,
but the hedge is very close to her, and
those limits very prescribed"

happy associations, but the worst mis-
fortune is that her peculiar mental
traits, some of which are admirable,
have not been recognized and properly
trained.
Her character as disclosed by my
phrenometrical measurements, may be
summed up in these words She has
the kind of intelligence which is In
VolVed in an ordinary school education
in fair degree, and in good health
would be able to acquire a fair educa-
ton She is very warm and devoted in
her friendship and would be most cas-
lily Influenced by any associate to whom
she was attached. She Is almost en-
tirely wanting in the sense of property
values, and could no more comprehend
the enormity of the crime of robbery
than she could lift a ton Of lead. She
would part with her own property, if
she had any on the slightest impulse,
and consequently has no appreciation
or the value of property to others. She
is deficient in dignity and self love and
would be reckless of consequences to
nerSelf, even in the case of actions
she has been told were wrong.
Il was greatly interested in her an
sWers to the judge as he questioned her
as to her comprehension Of right and
wrong. She told him that she knew ii
her parents had told her it was wrong
to take the property Of others, and yet
her facial expression showed that she
was talking Is a parrot talks, without
any comprehension of the actual
wrong. Here is where our jurisprud-
ence Is at fault 1t is one thing for
girl like May White to repeat what
she has been told as a statement of
moral principle, and it's quite another
thing for her to feel the wrong / do
not hesitate to say that when she told
Judge Belden, that she did not think
about the Wrongfulness of the act, she
was stating the exact truth Her
friendship for Quinn was excited, she
was practically under his hypnotic con-
troll, and her veneration and acquis-
itlveness were far too weak to suggest
the reverence for law, or the cOmpre-
henS1on of the value of the property
taken. She Is utterly incapable of
