TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
George S. Green Commits Suicide by
Swallowing Carbolic Acid.

A certificate of death from the effects Of
carbolic acid, self-administered, was given
last night by Coroner hewitt in the case of
young man named George S. Green. The
friends Of the deceased are unable to eX-
plain why he took his own life. Green was
at the home of some friends, No. 1870 1
street northwest, yesterday. He took the
fatal dose about o'clock In the afternoon
and died at the Emergency Hospital about
$50 o'clock. Green had apparently pre-
meditated suicide and had made sure that
his body would be given a respectable
burial. On his person was found poem,
entitled Thy Will Be Done" while in a
book of bylaws Of a patriotic order, to
which he belonged, he had marked the
clause relating to the burial of deceased
members. He was twenty-eight years old
and native of England.
After three years service in the army he
was given an honorable discharge, and was
sent to New Mexico for treatment for tu-
berculoss. Later he came here, and had
room on AZ street southwest near H
street. He called on his friends yesterday
fatal dose, and after conversing with them
short time he walked toward the front
door. Before he reached the door he swal-
lowed the acid. His death struggles at
tracted the attention of the persons in the
house and they FASTENED to his assistance.
Bicycle Policemen Warren and Plemmons
who were called to the house, summoned
the ambulance, and the dying man was
removed to the hospital. He was not Who'll
ly unconscious Wien he arrived at the in
stitution, and he objected to the efforts of
the physicians to save his life.
While the unfortunate man left no writ
ing to indicate why he was tired Of life,
some of his friends believed he had become
respondent because his physical condition
was such that he could not marry. Others
believe he killed himself because he failed
to secure admittance to the Soldiers Home
He had fought during the war with Spain
as member Of the 4th Field Artillery

Aspiration Toward Nationality.

legislative as well as judicial, executive as
we'll as legislative. Indeed, the Constitution
may be said to have been construed as IT
was created, by the common peoples in
sttnct Of nationality. The doctrinaires de-
clared that internal improvements by the
national government were unconstitutional.
Three of our Presidents were sure of it.
Jefferson so believed Madison vetoed an
internal Improvement bill on the ground of
its unconstitutionality. Monroe made it the
subject of a message to Congress- But the
common people knew better than the tho
orists. No matter what refined logic spun
from mere words and names, might con-
clude. the farmer and the trader, the Teller
of forests, the tiller of fields, the builder of
homes, the makers, one and all, of the ma
ton, knew that they were fellow-citizens of
the American republic and not mere mem
Ders or friendly localities; and so they said:
IT is the business Of our common nation to
build canals, construct the national high
ways, clear the rivers, dredge the harbOrs
OF our common country-it is absurd to
leave to each neighborhood it's portion Of
the work, which, if undone, impairs and
possibly destroys the whole. And so in
ternal improvements have become a prac-
tfce of the national government, so pro-
foundly fixed that even revolution itself
could not uproot 1t. And yet internal i'm
provements by the national government are
constitutional exclusively upon the theory
that the American people are a unit and
that their nationality is the purpose of
their fundamental law. 1t is a power pure
~ implied. and is absolutely unauthorized
extreme OF strict constructionists never
question the river and harbor bill, although
less than two generations ago its constitu-
tionality was burning question. Thus

the people marched on, leaving behind the

A 20 PER CENT RAISE
What Conductors and Brakeme1
.. West of Chicago Demand.

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE Call this
morning says that the largest and most
far-reaching union in the history of rail-
roads has been recently formed by the
railroad conductors and brakemen on
roads operating west of Chicago. The
men are dissatisfied with the present rae
of wages and will in the immediate future
make a demand for an increase of sala-
ries of 20 per cent. The Call is in a po-
sition to announce that this union will
make a test case on one Of the roads.
Should it's request be refused by railroad
officials the conductors and brakemen are
able to tie up every road west Of Chi
cago. The organization was perfected
last June in Kansas City, and w. V.
Stafford, a passenger conductor of the
Southern Pacific residing at Oakland was
elected its executive head. Circulars have
been recently passed around among the
men and as a result every trainman has
signed the request asking for the increase
Of 20 per cent and making other demands
Chairman Stafford of the executive
council of the union, when seen, confirmed
all of the above statements and added:
~"Our organization is perfect. . The cir.
culars we have been sending out have

.DEKE COUP D ETAI
How the D. X. Els at the u" Are
Said to Have Evaded Anti
Rushing Compact.
Observed Time Limit of Midnight
Monday, but Began Business
at 1903 a. m.

Something of tempest has been focca-
stoned at the state university by the ac-
ton Of one of the fraternities, said to be
the Delta Kappa Epsilon, in pledging sew
eral freshmen from St. Paul, late Monday
night. Members of other fraternlties say
the 'Dekes'' violated an agreement into
which they had entered, and have virtu-
ally banded together to fight the Offend
Ing frat. 1t seems, however, if reports be
true, that the Dekes did not break the
letter of their compact. ",t 81 = ~
Some time ago Chi Psi, Psi Epsilon,
Alpha Delta Phi, Phi Kappa Psi, and
D. K. E., it is related, entered into u
combine which had, as it's ostensible OBJ
ject, the doing away w It'll rushing In the
vacation season These 'fratS are
among the leading orga nizations of their
kind at the w. and they agreed be-
tween themselves, neither to rush nor to
bid man before midnight of Monday.
Tuesday morning, however, seven st. Pau
youths appeared upon the campus wear
ing Deke pledge pins. They were taken
around by older members Of the frater-
nifty and introduced to members of the
active charter In a minute the fra
ternity world was in an uproar.
Among the Dekes themselves, however,
the affair is said to be regarded as O. dis
tinct coup d'etat; and they are not I'M
willing to tell the story of how the men
secured.
Monday number D. X. Els went, to a
friend who is not himself a member of the
frat and induced him to invite the seven
men to a theater party, and to take them
to his home afterwards. The plan was
carried out; and at three minutes past II
o'clock the Dekes appeared upon the
scene in force; cornered the unsuspect1ng
freshmen, gave them 2 talk, invited them
to Join the fraternity and finally tagged
them with Deke pledge pins. Then they
went outside and Rugged each other In
delight at the success of their scheme.
The awakening Of yesterday, however
was not without its drawbacks to the
Deles, for yesterday morning PRESIDENT
Northrop, who is himself u. Il. H. sc Sc.
his stamp of disapproval upon vacation
rushing by emphasizing the order read IN
chapel, which declares that no student
shall be rushed by fraternity until
after he is duly registered.

Local and Out-of- Town Lovers of Art
Buy at the "Black and
White" Exhibit.
Exhibit Closes Tonight Cartoons
Please the Men, Sentimental
Subjects the Women.

The results of the sale of pictures at
the Press Artists League exhibition at
the West hotel amounted to about 81, 900 at
the close of last evening and fully half of
that sum was paid for the work Of the
Minneapolis men. The most important
when George E. Graves "zingara" was
bought by an Omaha woman. The pic
tXure was one Of the best things exhibited
and the medium, water color. was handled
in Mr.. Graves delicate yet strong manner.
There is a subtle charm in the drawing
and the coloring though delicate, is SUI
peru. Mr.. Graves, has perhaps, sold more
OF ms work than any one Of the other
Qen. r.'t.
James Carleton Young bought large
collection Of cartoons and caricatures Of
local men and a number of them will be
sent as gifts to prominent people through
the country. The unconscious models of
many of the caricatures may expect to find
their pictures In their stockings on Christ
mas morning for they were bought by rel
at1Ves who believe in taking time by the
forelock and who saw an opportunity to
obtain something out Of the ordinary.
Among the work of the out Of town art
lists, that of Florence Scovel, the clever
New York woman, who Is with Scribner,
has reused considerable interest. The
drawing reproduced In this evenings
J u r n a was purchased by Mrs. w. o.
winston. Mrs. Winston also bought, the
August number Of the Gopher calendar
Not all the drawings sold were bought
by Minneapolis people and visitors in the
city nave secured interesting souvenirs
or their stay, while St. Paul artists have
also shown their appreciation by taking
back representative sketch
1t is rather interesting to watch the
people who intend buying. AS a rule thew
know what subject pleases them and
their choice Is an intelligent one. The
men care more for the cartoons and Carl
catures and select them for den or office
pictures, While the women display fond
ness Tor sentimental subjects, carefully
worked up as for q magazine or book
Illustration.
1t Is not every one who can appreciate
the pleasure of owning an original draw
ing and one woman expressed herself yes
terday afternoon. She studied the price
mark on one Of Remingtons drawings
and her face expressed great disdain
The idea Of spending $40 on single pic
ture when l can get the whole magazine
1t came out in for a quarter" she said.
1t Is a pity that the exhibition will not
remain open longer, for many people who
are interested in black and white" have
not yet fully realized that it is being
held. Although the attendance has been
good, one hears EXPLANATIONS round town
which show that everybody is not aware
that the exhibition Is almost in the past
tense. It. will close this evening at II
o'clock. -: ga.
