COVE RNOA CALLS
FOR EARLY
MEETING
DEPOT COMMISSION WILL HEAR
LETTER FROM PRESIDENT sPEN-
GER READ ON NEXT
THURSDAY.

A meeting of the depot commission has
been called for July 3D. by Governor Cand-
Ter. President Spencer's Ietter to Cover
nor Gambler regarding the states depot
property, will then be read.
The state convention meets on July I'd,
one week from today, and a majority of
the members would probably be in attend
ance anyhow, so Governor Gambler thinks
July Sd is the best time. He will submit
the correspondence that has occurred be-
tween himself and President Spencer on
the depot matter to the members of the
commission and allow them to take what
ever action they think is best.
1t is the general opinion, however, that
the commission win decide to make re-
port to the legislature that the Southern
Railway company. after making similar
proposition to the state two years ago
has declined to accept the present propo-
sition and has blocked the depot scheme
from the beginning to the end. II such
report is made 1t win be warm in the ex-
IRENE, as the governors buzz-saw may
come into action and chop out few
words and sentences that the Southern
may not relish.

ENDS HIS TROUBLES
WITH A PISTOL

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June A.-John M.
Herzfeld, a we'll known furniture dealer
in this city, committed suicide yesterday
afternoon by shooting himself through
the left temple with a revolver. Business
troubles are supposed to have unsettled
his mind, He was about 40 years of age
and leaves a widow.
The deceased took his life in his place
of business. He went upstairs to a stor-
age room about half an hour before his
body was discovered. Soon after he went
upstairs a muffied report was heard, but
no attention was paid to it, nothing being
thought of IT at the time. Later porter
went to the room and found the body ly-
ing upon the floor in pool of blood. He
had been dead about twenty minutes.
Death was doubtless instantaneous. He
had been in business in Birmingham about
fifteen years and was very prominent in
Jewish, circles. He was a man of integ-
rity and benevolence and was much re-
spected.

CAPITAL OF NATION WILL
BE DESERTED THIS SUMMER

WASHINGTON, June 23.-President
Roosevelt will probably leave the night
that congress adjourns. and-is likely to be
in washington little from July l to Octo-
Der, since the white house win practically
be uninhabitable on account of the work
of alterations, which is to last all sum-
mer.
The president has engagements to speak
in a number of states. and between trav-
cling and his recreation at his home and
in the mountains would have little time
for Washington.
The only thing that would keep him here
would be the prospect of securing the
ratification at an extra session of the SEN
ate of the commercial reciprocity treaty
now in process of negotiation with Cuba.
But he has been informed within "a hours.
not only that there is no hope for such
action at the present session, but that
there is practically no hope Of it before
the election in November.
The beet root Republicans will not yield
before the election, and the Democratic
senator's. without whom the treaty cannot
be ratified, will not vote for it before No
vember.

dispatch to The Herald. A steam launch
from Bakers island put into Marblehead
with the information which was teiephon-

It was impossible. owing y the ex-
IRENE darkness TO learn the name Of the
vessel or to what line she belonged. A
volunteer life saving crew at once left
Marblehead. The tug Henry Preston also
started from Beverly, manned by a vol
unteer crew. It was thought at that time
that the steamer was either one Of the
Boston and Bangor line or the Portland
line, running from Boston. and that she
became disabled and was making for the
nearest port. The sea was not very high
so that the possibility OF a wreck was
