DESPERATE, SHE SUIClDED.
Young Syrian Girl, Being DepOrted
Throws Herself From Train.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 25.-Driven to
desperation by the prospect of being
forever separated from her lover, in
the expectation of marrying whom she
had nearly circled the globe, Alexandra
Joseph, young Syrian girl, threw
herself from the window of a Michi-
gan Central train running fifty miles
an hour, this afternoon, and was in
stantly killed. The tragedy occurred
two miles north of Newport, and was
the elimination of years of effort on
the part of Joseph Abodeely of Cedar
Rapids, Ia, to lead his old-World
sweetheart to the altar. When he
had saved enough money to pay the
girls passage to the United States, and
she had come as far as Montreal last
May, the United States immigration
Bureau reached out to separate the
lovers. and the plucky fight which the
young man attempted against tate,
ended tonight in his sweetheart
death.
The girl was refused admittance to
the United States on the charge that
she was afflicted with trachoma, but
Abodeely had the young lady's eyes
treated at a Montreal marine hospltal
funds having run low, he attempted
to run the gauntlet of the inspectors
at Detroit and was caught. Both the
young foreigners were detained by the
United States authorities at De-
troit and Abodeely narrowly escap-
ed Imprisonment for violating
the immigration laws, but the
sympathy of the officers being aroused
ne was allowed to leave town. From
mat time the girls fate hung in the
balance until to-day, when immigra-
uon agent Cameron Miller took her in
custody for the trip to New York, with
warrant from the Secretary OF the
treasury to have the girl deported to
her home in Syria.
The officer had allowed his charge to
20 to the toilet room, and in moment
was Mortified to see the door fly open,
revealing an empty room and an open
window. The train was run back and
me young woman was found dead be-
side the track.

Sees No Occasion for Troops in Coal
Region.

indianapolis, Sept. 25.-President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America, in long dis
tance telephone message to the News,
to-day from Wilkesbarre. said:
1.-THE press reports of lawlessness in
the strike region are greatly exagger-
ated. There has been no serious out
break.
There have been individual acts of
Iawlessness, but nothing that has ap-
preached concerted move on the part
of the strikers.
There is no reign of terror and the
miners are conducting themselves as
peaceably as when the strike started.
ut is not for me to criticise the state
authorities in sending troops to the
strike region, but do not see any more
need for troops now than there was the
day the strike began.
1.-THE miners are standing firm, and I
can see no evidence of weakening on
their part. Every day non-union
miners are quitting the mines and join
ing forces with US"

Willemstad, Island of Curacao Sept.

the closing of the incident arising from
the action of the Venezuelan war
ship Restaurador in hosting the Amer

United States Consul Goldschmidt at

and the latter, after obtaining confir-
nation of the report, called on the For

his promise that satisfaction would be
accorded by Venezuela after the mat

Washington, Sept est has prac-

use of the American flag by the Ven
ezuelan government warship as a
closed incident. The ample apology
made by the Venezuelan foreign Office,
and the hosting and the saluting of the
American flag by q guns is taken as
sufficient expiation. AS there ia
every reason to believe that there WIN
be no repetition of the offense, the
matter Will be allowed to drop out of
sight. Minister Bowen's energetic ac-
ton in the matter is approved.
