THE MYSTERY IS CT cared.
Kenosha Suicide is Identified as
Mrs. May Andrews.
Her Husband Becomes Alarmed at
Her Absence and Went to
the Morgue.

Racine, Wis, Sept. 9. -[Special. 1.-The
suicide mystery was cleared up this morn
ing by the identification of the dead wom-
man as Mrs. May Andrews, wife of F..
G.. Andrews of this city. The body had
twice before been wrongly identified, once
as Miss Amelia Helling and later as
Mrs. Grace Hurst of Chicago. But this
morning Mr.. Andrews positively identi-
fed the body and his identification was
sustained by several others who knew
Mrs. Andrews intimately. Mrs. An
drews has been away from home since
Thursday.
Andrews, who is a carpenter, came to
this city about four months ago and took
up his residence here. On Thursday
night Mrs. Andrews told her husband
that she was going to the house of a
friend of hers to help care for sick
baby. She said that she might not re-
turn for some hours and might be away
all night. She did not return and so the
next day Mr.. Andrews went to work in
a remote part of the city, expecting that
his wife would of course return home
during the day. At night when she did
not return he thought that it was strange,
but he put his little 2-year-old child to
bed and sat up for his wife.
In the morning he became greatly
alarmed at her prolonged absence. The
lceman told him of Il suicide of a strange
woman in East park. Andrews got a
paper and read the description of the
dead woman, which corresponded exactly
with that of his wife. He went to the
coroner and the moment he saw the body
said that it was his wife.
Andrews says that he and his wife
had a slight quarrel on Thursday morn
ing and that he had scolded her. He
said that she had never threatened sui
eide and that he was terribly shocked at
her act. She is survived by one child
and her husband.
Mrs. Andrews committed suicide in
East park Thursday night, by taking
poison. The deepest mystery had sur
rounded her identity until she was recog-
nized by her husband

AUTUMN TRADE STRONG
The Mercantile Agencies Show

Strength Of staple prices, activity In fall
demand, large railroad earnings reports
OF heavy lake traffic and of activity in lead
ing industries are the features none of
them necessarily new, but still presenting
themselves In the trade situation this week.
Expansion in fall demand is perhaps most
notable at the leading Western and North
western markets, but advices from Eastern
markets furnish evidence that active inter
est is manifested at these centers The
price situation is one of notable strength
Cereals are generally higher. The hot
weather In the west Is responsible for a
further shading in exuberant estimates OF
the corn crop and for the slight strengthen
Ing i'll prices shown therein. Wheat, in
Guiding flour, shipments for the week ag
gregate 1858, 906 bushels, against 1913, 443
bushels last week Corn exports for the

X. q. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade tomorrow will say:
The sky is still cloudless and no disquiet-
ing change has come during the week. In
spite of more warlike news about South
Africa the Bank Of England behaves as il
the worst possible had been fully provided
for and this country has no reason to fear
trouble from that source unless English
markets have so overloaded as to need help.
The marketing Of domestic products both
farm and manufactured, continues surpriS-
4ngly large for the season. The new pos
sessions, taken together, arc returning In
revenue already more than it costs to clean
and govern them. The West and South still
behave as If 1t would be impertinent for
New York to offer money for crop moving,
and are still bidding for commercial loans
here. Failures are few, strikes scarce and
readily settled, and the passage of Sep
TENDER l without pressure means reasonable
safety for months ahead.

CHARGES AGAINST BEDLOE.

ommend that He be Removed

to the Times from Washington saws.
Assistant Secretary of State Cridiey
states that there are no charges before
the department affecting the integrity of
DR.. Edward Bedloe, consul at Canton,
China. 1t is therefore assumed that
there is no truth in the reports that DR..
Bedloe has been accused OF accepting
brides for obtaining concessions or for
passing Chinese into America The only
charges against Consuf Bedloe relate to
the granting Of American registry to a
vessel which conveyed arms to the Fill
pinos.
1t is generally believed that the remov-
al of DR.. Bedloe will be recommended by
Secretary Hay. The power of reaching
him is vested in the President.
