DETERMINED To DIE

Yesterday. Graham. the man who at
tempted suicide on Wednesday, made
another attempt while lying in his bed
at the Queens Hospital. The nurse
had turned her back for a moment and
Graham, reaching for tumbler on a
table. broke It and used piece of glass
to cut his left wrist in order to open an
artery. The noise of breaking the
tumbler attracted the attention of the
nurse who turned in time to wrest the
glass from the hand of the desperate
man.
The wound, on being examined, was
found to be of a not very serious nature
although the man lost considerable
blood. The wound was bound up and
particular care was taken that nothing
else that could be used TO take life was
placed near the patient. Police head
quarters were notified and an officer
will now watch Graham night and day
until he RECEIVERS.

VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION
new SUFFRAGE LAW
AND PROBABLE EFFECT
Shut Out Whites as Well as Negroes
Making Railroads Pay Taxes
mo Passes for Public
Officials.

Richmond, Va. June 21.-The Vir-
| ginia constitutional convention, which
assembled here more than year ago. is
about to complete its work There is
nothing remaining to be dore but to
sign the constitution. This instrument
completely revolutionizes not only the
| politics of the State, but may have an
/ important bearing upon its material
progress.
The most significant changes effected
are the suffrage clause and the CTea-
ton of corporation commission, with
the most arbitrary powers ever pro-
! posed in the Old Dominion. The fran
chise provision will eliminate possibly
| so to 20 per cent of the negro vote, but
| little or none of that of the whites, II
the boards of regitration do whai Is ex-
| pected of them.
Under the operations of the new law,
which, with all other provisions of the
constitution, will go into effect July
10, it Is proposed to place the whole
white voting population on the books
before 1904 when the understanding
clause becomes imperative. After that
period the white and colored illiterates
are put pretty much on the same foot
ing. A rigid educational qualification
is made to apply after that time, and
unless the registration boards act in
the most grossly partisan way there
can be little discrimination shown in
accepting voters.
The most interesting question, though
is what effect the new franchise law
will have upon the political future OF
the State. With the complete liberia
ton Of the whites, 1t is very doubtful
whether the leaders, the men who have
heretofore dominated the party affairs
of Virginia. will exert any such in,
fluence in future campaigns. This will
be particularly true, probably, of great
national campaigns.
wit hthe incubus of the negro Issue
eliminated, the white people of Virginia
will be free to act as they see fit on all
economic and other questions which
may affect the interests of the country
This view of the. situation is admitted
by the ablest Democratic leaders in the
State.
These men foresaw that such con
dition threatened their future cont;nu'
ance in politics should new constitu'
ton be adopted. II was largely OH this
account that most of the conspicuous
men, especially of the machine element
opposed the assembling OF conccn
ton. If they could have had their way
Senator Martin and the men who trair
under him would never have permitted
this body to have met.

CUBAN QUESTION
NOW BEFORE HOUSE

Will Discuss the Chinese EX- N

Washington, March 24.-There is a
bare possibility that the fight over the
question Of Cuban reciprocity will be
transferred to the floor Of the house
during the coming week. The proba-
bilities, however, are that the reci-
procity resolution introduced by Mr

IOrity, after the action Of the Republi-
can caucus last week, will not be called
up until the following week, though
upon this point no definite decision
has been reached as yet by the lead.
ers. The present program is to take
up the army bill after the disposal of
the Moss-Rhea contested election case
tomorrow. Several days will be con-
sumed in general debate on this bill,
as the Democrats are inclined to use
it as a text for speeches in opposition
10 the policy of the administration IN
the Philippines. 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that Mr. Rhea will be unseated
when the vote on his contested cleo
tion case is taken.
The oleomargarine bill will receive
the greater share of the attention Of
the senate during the present week,
but II there should be a time when no
one is prepared to speak on it Sena-
tor Proctor, who will have charge Of
it, will give way to the Chinese ex-
clusion bill. which is in the hands of
Senator Penrose. Senator Proctor
called the oleo bill up today and made
a statement of the intent and purpose
Of the bill. He expresses the
opinion that the final vote on the
bill will not be long postponed, and it
is understood that the members OF
the committee on agriculture who are
opposed to the bill will not contend for
many days for debate Senator Proc.
tor already has presented to them the
desirability of fixing a time for a vote,
and while many senators have made
no opposition to this proposition, Sen.
ator Bailey thus far has objected. The
present indications are that the bill
will not be before the senate a great
length of time
Senators Penrose, Mitchell and Fair
banks will be among those who will
make speeches in support of the
Chinese bill. This measure will pro
woke no little controversy. The Indian
appropriation bin probably will be re

Pittsburg, Pa, March 24.-The dead
body OF DR.. Harry Whitesell, a rising
young physician Of SewiclSley, was
found yesterday resting on a ledge OF
rocks along the Ohio river bank near
his home. At first it was thought he
had been murdered, but investigation
by the coroner showed that he was
killed by a fall. His family says he
was called to see a patient at o'clock
and it is supposed that in walking
along the high bank at that point he

LEADERS HOPE TO
AVOID A STRIKE
Convention May Adjourn
Without Deciding Question
Ii Operators Refuse to ReOrganile

official source it was learned yester-
day that an effort was made to

ton.
At a meeting which began at Il
o'clock Saturday night and continued
until early yesterday morning,a spe-
cial committee formulated a resolu-
ton which the leaders hope will sat
isfy both radical and conservative del
egates. The committee consisted Of
President Mitchell, District Presidents
Nichols, Fahy and Dufy and the three
vice presidents
The report Of the committee will
take the form of a resolution, the
principal clause of which. it is authori-
tatively stated will recommend the
appointment of a committee to pre-
sent to the operators the demands Of
the convention. incorporated in the
report are a number of resolutions
adoptedduring last week In addition
10 those made public by President
Mitchell. All of these resolutions, 1t
Is stated, contain strike declaration,
effective April ], but they were made
subject to the resolution of the spe-
cial committee report, which so far as
could be learned. does not declare for
strike. All OF the demands made
in the scale committee report are also
embodied in the resolution, but the
statement is made that only two OF
these-an eight-hour working day and
the weighing of coal wherever prac
ticable-will be insisted upon If the
convention adopts the resolution. If
the report prove satisfactory the con
vention is expected TO select COM
mittee composed of others than officers
of the union.
In the event of the operators refus
ing to recognize the committee it is
within the province Of the district
presidents TO declare a strike after re-
ceiving the sanction of the national
executive board. When asked last
night If the above statements wero
correct President Mitchell did not de
ny them, but declined to discuss the
subject.
