TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
A MEXICAN POLICE INSPECTOR

HE HELPED KILL ARROYO
A Proud Man, He Is Detected After His
Examination-He Practically Con-

Loyalty to Diaz Led Him to the
Act.

City OF Mexico, Sept. rs .-Ex-Inspec-
tor of Police Eduardo Velasquez, aged
80, lies a corpse, having taken his life
in Belem prison yesterday morning.
The inspector blew his brains out with
a revolver. He was a proud man, ex-
ceedingly reserved, and had never been
known to smile. He was subjected to
a long examination and at the conclu-
sion of tina ordeal, on his return to his
room in the prison, it was noted that
he showed great detection and anguish
of mind. At II o'clock in the morning
the warden of the prison went to Vel
asquez's cell and discovered hat the
The muzzle of the pistol had been
placed so close to the temple and
pressed into the skin so that it prac-
tically made no noise on being dis
charged. How the pistol reached him
Is under investigation aud certain per-
thorities were inclined to censure the
warden. A letter was found in his
in which ValasqueZ made his
statements to the public, saying that
his death was. he felt, a satisfaction he
owed to society and he should, there
give that satisfaction by leaving the
world. He also said that the crime of
numbering Arroyo was suggested to
him BY Inspector Villa-Vicencio, of the
second police district, who is in prison.
Velasquez added that under other cir
cumstances. not having been a high
official in authority, nothing could
have induced him to take part in the
crime. He felt, it is said, that his
loyalty TO the chief magistrate whose
life had been attempted, warranted
him In putting Arroyo to death.

Many growing girls, espe-
cially those tall for their age,
are inclined to stoop, and we'll
meaning persons often adyo-
ate the use of braces or shoulder
straps as a means of correcting this.
The braces nay force an upright car
riage, but they do not give the wearer
any means of maintaining it. Any
exercise which strengthens the mus
cles of back and shoulders will aid in
correcting this defect. Tennis, hand
ball, shuttlecock and battledoor or
even a vigorous game with bean bags
are all excellent for this purpose. Old
fashioned mothers used to drill their
STOPPING daughters in walking with a
plate carried on the head, and this IS
really a good practice. High pillows
and soft mattresses are an aid in pro-
Gucing this defect, and without doubt
a fiat, rather hard bed, with low pill
low is preferable for growing children.
A STOPPING awkward walk detracts so
much from the appearance that there
is every reason to avoid it, apart from
the bad effect it exercises on the phys
ical condition.
