NINTH VICTIM
OF SUICIDE CLUB
No Tangible Reason Why
Victims Made Away
With Themselves

Meriden, Conn, June 2S.-Meriden's
long list OF suicides was added to by
the self inflicted death of Kalman
Levstone, a well to do Hebrew mer-
chant. Nine suicides have been re-
corded during the last two months,
az dtwo attempts nave been made, bur
without success, one at hanging and
one at drinking poisonous acids. All
this has led to the belief in many
minds that suicide club is in exist
ence.
Mr.. Levstone was fifty years old.
Not only did he kill himself. but at
tempted to make away with his wife.
He arose at four o'clock in the morn.
ing. turned on the gas jet in his wife's
apartments and went to the stable,
where he drank carbolic acid. Mrs.
Levstone was awakened by the odor
of gas. and her life was saved
Residents of this city are firmly
convinced that a suicide club exists.
The eighth successful attempt at sui
eide within two months occurred when
william McGovern, at one time one
of the most popular men in this city,
hanged himself in a cell in the jail.
He had cen arrested on complaint
of his motner-in-law. 1t was said he
had been acting strangely. A few min
utes after he was locked up his body
was found hanging by his suspenders,
which he had placed around his neck.
He was ffty-six years old and leaves
a family.
Citizens who have noted with alarm
during the last eight weeks the con-
slant growing list of suicides are GER
tain that death pact exists among
certain residents of the city
Charles N. Blake, a prominent mer-
chant and clubman, was the nrst to
kill himself, following in rapid sue
cession came the deaths, self inflicted
of John Douglas, Adam Huffman, who
blew his head of with a dynamite
cartridge; Frank Wood, who took poi
son in a New YORK hotel William
Smith, who did the same thing in a
Waterbury hotel; Peter Mcclure, who
shot himself and Thomas Hart, who
drank paris green. Mcclure was worth
$1,000 900
Detectives have oeen at work during
the last six months trying to gain In
formation OF the supposed suicide club
but have as yet little TO say on the
subject.
Most of the suicides have been men
OF means. and no tangible reasons
have been given as to why they made
away with themselves.

and awesomeness of the gre9t temp
les Of the Roman faith in many lands.
In style the sacred edifice is Byzan-
tine. The total cost of this superb pile
was nearly one million dollars.

THE REPORTERS SIREN.
uoUs LIFE.
Often Faces Death in Running Down
Story.

"An insight into the strenuous life
of the reporter may be gained from
the account of the rioting which occur
red in Paterson, N. j., last Wednes-
day" remarked the reformed newspa-
per man. Harry Harris, reporter for
The Call, OF that city, was out taking
snap shot pictures OF the stirring
scenes on the street. Some of the
rioters seriously objected and one
fred a pistol at the young man, the
bullet entering his chest.
He fell mortally wounded and a
crowd Of rioters ran up and kicked
him. He drew a revolver with which
to defend his life, out the cartridge
failed to explode AM ne was at the
mercy of the maddened men Harris
was finally rescued by the authorities
and was sent at once to the hospital
where II was stated his chances of
recovery were exceedingly slim.
There are very few reporters that
have not at some time in cheir life
faced death while engaged in running
down a story Il is just these excit-
ing experiences that make the busi-
ness fascinating and when a man once
begins newspaper career IN earnest
he usually Cies in the harness. Il is a
profession tpst the average reporter
finds well nigh impossible to divorce
himself from. The Harris incident Is
only one OF many that happen daily
among the newspaper men in this
country. Comparatively few accounts
of such adventures md their way in
to print because to a reporter his own
troubles are exceedingly insignificant
when compared to those OF the bal.
anoe Of mankind"

DREW TWO SALARIES.
Gen. Wood Received $4,000 a
Year in Cuba.

Washington, June GA letter from the
secretary of war appears in the report
submitted today by Chairman Hull of
the house military committee adverse to
the resolution of Mr.. Bartlett (Ga.) ask
ing for information as to the compensa-
ton paid General Wood while governor
general Of Cuba. Secretary Root states
that Secretary A1ger made an allow
ance to General Brooke, out Of the rev.
enues of Cuba, of $500 a year and con-
tinues:
There has been no change since that
time, except that when General Wood s
commission as major general of vol
unteers expired 1 made an order for
further allowance, equal to the differ
ence between the salary of a major
general and brigadier general so as to
keep his total compensation at the same
figure the combined compensation re-
ceived as an officer of the army and as
governor of Cuba, being always 49, 900
greSs has voted that Mr.. Palma's salary
shall be S25.0O0."
Secretary Root says this has been
fully made known to congress in for
rner reports and neither house has made
any objection.
Secretary Root says. in his letter as to
the various phases of the subject.
Il should hardly suppose that the
house Of representatives would wish to
adopt resolution which implies ignor-
ance on its part of the authority of the
president of the United States under the
law of military occupation, to appro-
pirate and expend the revenues of the
government Of the occupied country
