Fremont. He had torn himself away

out into the darkness and storm to tell
his wife, 20 miles away, that he had
been elected TO the United States SEN

TO SUPPRESS DETAILS
In Order to Wipe Out an Epidemic Of
Suicides,

Emporia, Kan, June IAN cpl
demic of suicides in this town, Gull
minating yesterday in three attempts,
all exact similar to recent successful
suicides, caused the mayor and board
of health TO forbid publication of de-
tails of suicides or attempts in local
papers. The board is acting on the
theory that publication spreads the
contagion of suicide by pyshic sugges-
ton. Mayor Morse contends that the
liberty of the press is secondary to the
public health and is prepared to use
force, if necessary, under the nuisance
act. All the editors, however, have
agreed to suppress details of suicides
or attempts until the epidemic abates.
The epidemic began with the sui
eide of Charles Cross, president of a
wrecked bank, and in the last 80 days
there have been seven cases, three
successful.
