The Message In London.

London, Dec. 4.-Some of the Lon
don morning papers regard President
Roosevelts message as disappointing
in as much as, according to their view,
''he adopts a cautious and conserva-
tive policy rather than revolutionary
one in dealing with the trust question
and the tariff" The general impress
sion is that President Roosevelt has
been influenced by the warning echoes
CT the last elections, and that he seeks
to attract rather than to compel the
SUPPORT of congress of his measures.

STARVES FROM LACK OF DRUG
Della Davies Dies When Poverty
Makes Morphine No Longer
O~btainabIe.

Della Davies, who was found In her
room at SS2 South Seventeenth street
Saturday afternoon unconscious from the
effects of morphine poisoning, died late
yesterday afternoon at the county hos
pital.
The woman was discovered by other
roomers in the house, who, missing her
and hearing her dog growing, broke in
the locked door. She was lying on the
floor unconscious and the dog was sitting
by her side. When the door was opened
he made a rush for those who would enter
and had to be beaten of. Police Surgeons
Hahn and Mick were m and sue
ceeded in bringing the woman lack to con-
sciousness and then had her taken to the
county hospital,
1t was thought Mrs. Davies had made an
attempt to take her own life, az she had
frequently threatened to do, but after re-
gaining consciousness she said that for
many years she had been addicted to the
morphine and cocaine habit, that for the
last three days she had been unable to
secure any of the drugs because of her
poverty and that her illness was due to
this. She had remained unconscious all day
Saturday.
Very little is known Of the woman by
the other roomers at the house or her
neighbors other than that she had two sis
ters, one of whom is married and lives in
the south part of the city. She lived alone
and most Of the money she made by TAX
ing in washing she spent for morphine.
She was "a years old, and had informed her
%neighbors that some years ago she had
been married and was the mother Of a
child.
