r. Welles. formerly Police Commissioner of
Brooklyn. was found about 4:3O o'clock this
afternoon near the grounds OF the Climax Gun
Club. northwest of North Plalnneid. His throat
cut from 10 ear, and the penknife with
which Mr. Welles killed himself was lying be-
side the body. The suicide was apparently
committed within half an hour after Mr. Welles
left the sanitarium. from which he escaped on
Wednesday afternoon.
The body found by Charles Foley,
expressman. living in Jackson-ave. Fifteen de-
tectives have been here for the last two days
searching through the mountains for the body.

result in finding Mr. Welles. or FOR the recovery
OF the body If he were dead. In addition TO the
detectives who were brought from New-York.
many local people to-day turned out TO aid IN
the search for the body.
THE BODY LYING IN THE WOODS.
Foley found the body after n twenty minute
search. II lay in the woods near the gun club
grounds. The spot where II was found was a
short distance from the sanitarum, and all the
searchers had overlooked il because It so
close to the starting point. 1t would appear
that Immediately after leaving the grounds Of
the santarium Mr. Welles went into the woods
and proceeded TO the spot where he was found
He then. doubtless cut his throat and bled TO
death. Foley came TO this city at once and in
formed Frederick Welles. who went to the spot,

was found that the body lay in Somerset Coun-
". and Mr.. Weiles telegraphed To Somerville
for Coroner Stlllwen. 1t was impossible for the
Coroner to reach the spot tonight, and as the
case was evidently Of suicide, he granted
permission for the removal Of the body to this
place. saying that he would come here In the
morning to view It, The body was brought 10

Further time has been granted by the
Executive Committee to intending ex-
hibitors to close contracts for space at
the Trans Mississippi Exposition. On
May Is no further exhibits will be re-
ceived, and any exhibitor not having his
material on the ground at that time will
be shut out. This rule will be strictly
enforced as the entire time between
then and June 1 must be utilized for
the installing of exhibits so that every
thing will be in readiness for the inspec-
ton of visitors when the gates are OPEN
ed. Exception will be made to this
rule in certain cases where exhibits have
been unavoidedly delayed for some good
reason. When such cases occur exhibits
will be admitted to the ground after
June TO- but between May rs and June
10, no exhibits will be received This
step is necessary in order to avoid con-
fusion in the installing work preparatory
to opening. Ten days later a few ex-
hibits, chiefly those Of horticulture and
agriculture which cannot be made ready
by June 1, will be received. On May /
the floor in each of the exhibition build
ings will be diagramed with black lines
showing the space assigned to each ex-
hibitOr.
