Attempted Murder and Suicide by a

NEW YORK, Jan. Richard Price,
a former convict, today attempted to
murder his mistress and commit sui
eide, in somewhat novel and horrible
manner. The woman was Mrs. Han
non, with whom, until lately, Price liv
ed for six years. They separated a
month ago, on account Of Prices al
legged cruelty Last night they met,
and Price compelled the woman to go
with him to A. Blockster's hotel. When
she was in bed he gave her whisky,
believed to have been drugged. Then
Price turned on the unlighted gas jet.
He showed his trousers against the
door on the floor, SO that asphyxia-
ton would be sure. The woman arose
from her bed in terror. Price knocked
her down and held her mouth over a
gas stove which was in the room. Just
before she was overcome she screamed
A man near by, in another room, heard
her. He broke open the door and pre-
vented the murder of the woman and
suicide of Price. The woman was I'M
conscious. but will probably recover

affected. was arrested.

More than half the book Is taken up
with the supplemental essay by Prof.
Royce in which he. discusses the ques-
tons raised as to the relations of the
Absolute and Individual. He expands
his doctrine of experience. He argues
that the Absolute has will as well as
omniScience. but he analyses the con-
ception of will. having left only AT
tention" as it's chief note, and finds
that compatible with an Absolute ex-
perience. He also finds that the divine
choice is the only basis of the real
possible He flouts and tears into
shreds the popular notion of individ-
uality. discusses over again the
scholastics. Thomas Aquinas and
Duns Scotus. and with such an evil
dent relish that one is tempted to be-
lieve that the learned professor is
something Of a scholastic himself. He
argues for individualsm as the sense
of contrast one has to the universe,
and that is on the moral side. The
rest of experience is identical with
that of God. There is a true monism
everywhere else. but not in the moral
experiences of the individual. Retort
might be made that 1t would be easy
for Royce, perhaps for another, to
swallow up this moral element also in
an Absolute Idealism. But it is
athletic thinking.

was taking place. Mr.. Grobman ST.
