Suspicion That She Com
mitted. Suicide.
Was i'm House on Mayo st. Where
Incendiary Fire Occurred.

May Page, who formerly lived in Frye
burg was found dead in bed ct board
ing house at lSO Free street at noon
yesterday under circumstances which lead
TO q belief that abe committed suicide.
Miss Page occupied room In the house
ut Mayo street where fire Of undoubved
incendiary origin occurred few days
ago. The fire started In room on the top
floor which she had leased 40 store room
and In a closet OF the hall which she also
used. There were some things connected
with this fire which gave the polios an
idea that Miss Page might have know
more about It than she told and she was
consequently subjected to examination
several times BY the police authorities
After the fire on Mayo street Miss Page
rented rooms on Free street. These she
fitted mp handso mely but after she took
possession of the rooms she complained
frequently Of being unable to sleep nights
and showed that she worried great deal
about something.
Yesterday morning she did not make
her appearance and hsr pet bull dog kept
up bowling that indicated that there
was trouble In the room. When her door
was tried 1t was found to be securely
looked, but the dog made fuss II any
one came near. and the people In the
house were rather shy Of breaking into
the room. Finally one Of the boarders
picked the look. with the result Of find
ing the dead body Of Miss Page stretched
out on the bed. Coroner Perry was at
once notified and he procured the SER
vices Of DR.. Pudor, who after examina-
tion found that the woman had come to
A handkerchief which had been saturated
with 1t was spread out over the lower
part of her face and two ounos bottle
partly filled was on the table at her side,
where also was a bottle partly filed with
bromide.
The doctor would not pronounce 1t .
case Of deliberate suicide, for when her
remarks concerning her slesplsasness
were recalled 1t was thought probable
that she had taken the oholorform to in
duoe sleep and had taken too much. re-
sulting In painless death.
Coroner Perry decided that an inquest
was not necessary.
Miss Page has been pretty well known
about town for the past few years. She
has worked at various stores for part Of
the time. and has olsimed to be short
hand writer and dealer In typewriters.
She formerly lived with her mother on
Green street.
Her father who resides In Fryeburg was
informed of tn daughters death aut the

OF the Portland Electric Light compa-
ny, whieh was favorably commented up
ON while the West End OF the city was

The committee on lights held another

trio Light oompsny's managers yester-
da. 1t was finally agreed that the Con-
solidated Company should turn on 90 arcs
and incandescents tonight to burn for
ten dsys at the rates charged the city
when the last agreement was made. The
city is to pay $50 to the Consolidated
company for changing their lines 50 as
to connect these lights and In addition
are to pay $i2 90 each night for "extra
expenses" which will be incurred BY the
company in thus accom- odating the city

Milling Cos plant in Centralia to re-
place the old style reel machine. One
sitter answers for three reels, thus
reducing machinery space while at the
same time increasing the productive
capacity. This improvement is largely
d temporary one, and would be fol

the fact that the company is waiting

They will build an entirely new
