TRAGEDY WITH MYSTERY.
Suicide and Attempted Murder In a
Hotel.

Hotel.
NEW YORK, August 27.-H. II. Strdiron
lumber merchant of Baltimore, was shot
In the back of the head and through the
eye at the Hotel Vendome today, by H. j.
Ford, who registered from Boston. Ford
then committed suicide by blowing out his
brains.
Strid.ron registered at the hotel on Fri
day night. The clerk of the hotel says
Ford had been in the hotel for several days,
but had never registered until Stridiron
came to the house.
The men breakfasted together this morn
ing and then went out. They returned in a
few minutes and went to Stridiron's room
few minutes later an elevator boy ran
to the office and said that there was trouble
in the room and shots were heard immed-
lately afterward.
Stridron was taken to the hospital in a
critical condition. The police are making
an investigation as to the cause of the
tragedy. Stridiron's residence is in doubt,
an acquaintance having given it as Chicago,
although he registered from Baltimore.
Wher Stridiron became conscious in the
hospital he said that Ford was not the cor
rect name of the suicide. He said the man
was John Seton, forty-fve years old, and
that he was salesman living in Chicago.
Stridiron gave his own residence as 119
Seeley avenue, Chicago.
In Ford's pocket was found the following
letter, crumpled and not addressed:
The better the day the better the deed
1 hope my friends will forgive me for this
act. 1 hope to spend better life in the
next world than l have in this"
There was no other letter
The police say that Stridiron is a widow
er and has a daughteS.
The letter written by Seton or Ford was
dated yesterday, showing that he probably
intended to commit the crime on Sunday.
CHICAGO, August 27.-Neither the name
"Jchn Seton nor H. H. Stridiron" ap-
pears in the Chicago directory.

MORE CLOSELY SCRUTINIZED.
Since Humbert's Death Travellers in
Germany Have Been Watched.

The Department of State is in receipt of
a dispatch from the charge daffaires ad
interim of the United States at Berlin, stat
ing that since the assassination of the late
King OF Italy, travellers in Germany are
subjected to a more strict police supervi

are therefore advised to provide themselves
with passports from the Department of
State before going abroad
In Berlin. as In many other German cit
les, the police regula tions in regard to the
establishment of identity are quite strict.
All hotel. lod 5ing md boarding house keep

nationality of the persons who stay in their

provided with passports similar papers.
The Berlin president Of police has recent
ly ordered that these regulations be more
strictly enforced, and as a result, several
American citizens have been subjected to
some annoyance, because they were not

that In 1t they have found the "ancient
