ENDS LIFE BECAUSE
OF A PRETTY WRITER

New York, Dec. 12.-Word was re-
ceived in this city today OF the suicide
in Portland, Me-, of Sydney Samuel Of
this city. Mr.. Samuel. who was 80
years old, was an Englishman OF
wealth, and was formerly il the i'm
porting business here with his brothers
under the firm name Of Samuel Her
MAINS.
One of his brothers, Montague Sam
uels, said today that Sydney had been
bounded to his death by r woman
whom he described as an author. who
is celebrated in this country and Eu-
rope.
sFor three years said the brother,
"she has prosecuted him. In every
way he has sought to evade her. but
she has pursued him relentlessly. IL
there are any possible grounds upon
which I can bring action against this
woman. I will certainly do so. I will
not at present disclose the name of the
woman"
The World will say tomorrow:
1.-THE reason Sydney Samuel killed
himself was revealed yesterday. He
shot himself because he could not mar
~ the woman he, loved, Mrs. Anita vi
Vanti Charities, a beautiful and tai
ented author and playwright.
Mr.. Samuels' father, the Rabbi
Israel, who is looked on as the head of
the Jewish church in Great Britain,
bitterly opposed the marriage of his
son to Mrs. Chatres on the ground OF
difference in their religion. Mrs. Char
tres is a Catholic.
yielding to the plea of his father,
Mr.. Samuels broke off his engagement
to Mrs. Chartres almost on the eve OF
the day set for their wedding. From
that day he was changed man. he
lost all interest in life and became so
melancholy that his brothers employed
a man to watch him lest he commit
suicide"

Party Leaders Will Discuss Church Interference In

Question Of Party DISARMAMENT Will Also Be Decided
Over a Hundred Invitations.

her devotion to Democracy, and being
much averse to such arguments as the
one presented, promptly showed the
epistle to some of her Democratic
friends. They saw the Importance of
it a the time. ana realized it even more
fully when the votes were counted on
the night of Nov. 6.
Lately, when the committee which Is
gathering the evidence Of church infiu
ence In that election went to the WOma
to secure the original letter for use a
evidence, she declined to give it up. Il
is said that she had been approached
by people of her faith and warned that
she must not allow that document to
be used.
There are other cases equally as
pointed as this. Therefore the commit
tee has been compelled to go about its
work with al possible caution. Still,
in spite of the handicap under which
it has labored, irrefutable proofs have
been secured and viii be presented to
the conference next month.
Party Leaders Invited.
The Democrats who are 10 attend this
meeting haVc been selected without re-
gard to whether they favor or do not
favor the diss- luton of the party OF
their adoption. The only test made has
been as to whether or not they may be
considered leaders in their respective
sections. Wherever It has been learned
that man is looked up to by his party
men. wherever it has been found that
his opinions are received with thought
tul consideration, that man has been
invited to the coming convention.
Beyond any doubt both sides will be
ably represented. That is, men who
favor and rcen who do not favor the
disarmament Of the party viii be on
hand to argue the question. Therefore
the debate viii be interesting, for the
conference VIII want to arrive at the
best. possible plan of action.
The address TO the Democracy of the
state, which is now in course of prepar-
alton, and which, it is understood, will
advocate dissolution, will be presented
at this meeting and amended in such
manner as the leaders see fit.
