SLEEP ALMOST FATAL
Mrs. N. w. Dye Takes an Overdose
of Ether For In
Somnia.

An overdose of ether, taken for the
purpose of inducing sleep, almost re-
suited in the death of Mrs NJ. w. Dye,
who lives in the Continental rooming
house, early yesterday morning.
Mrs Dye had been unable to sleep
for several days, and, growing desper-
ate in her endeaVors to avoid wake
full nights, purchased d quantity of
ether, which, she had been told, would
be sure to bring sleep. She swallowed
large amount Of the drug and retired.
She was found early yesterday morn
ing by her husband in an unconscious
condition, and all efforts TO arouse her
were futile. A physician was at once
summoned, ana after an hours labor
she was aHused from her dangerous
sleep. 1t could not be determined how
much of the drug had been taken, but
the amount was sufficient to have re-
suited in death in a short while, but
for the timely arrival of her husband
and the physician.
Mrs. Dye denies that the drug was
taken with any intention other than
to induce sleep, and her friends and rel
atives also deny any other assertions.

HAD BEEN STRANGLED
Body Of an EngIishman Found in
Tough Part of Paris-0isre-
garded Warning.

New York. Aug. 23.-Quoting the
Francois. the evening edition Of the
Matin. the Paris correspondent of the
World cables the following story:
Victor Evandale, an American
about 40 years old. declared at a cafe
table that he had lived for ten years
in the widest regions of western
United States. and never carried a
weapon. and was never afraid. Sew
eral Frenchmen who were present told
him that Paris was more dangerous.
They asserted that he could not go
from Grenelle to Montrouge. for ex-
ample. after 10 o'clock at night without
being killed, unless he wore labOrers'
clothes.
"Evandale left the cafe after a time
without reverting to the conversation
about dangerous localities.
Next morning his companions OF
the night before were horror-stricken
10 read of the discovery of Evandale's
body in the glacis of the Notifications
near the Maisou Blanche. 1t is sup
posed that he must have actually at
tempted to walk from Grenele to
Montrouge Immediately after leaving
his friends.
Evidently he was attacked from be-
hind. Tight around his neck was
found a thin leather thong, which had
been used TO strange him. His pOck-
els were rihed, his shoes and coat re-
moved"
Inquiry by the World correspondent
tends 10 show that Evandale was an
EngliShman instead of an American,
but had lived in Texas.

NEW TRIAL MOTION
Mortensen Will Appear in the
District Court To-
morrow.

The question of whether or not Peter
Mortensen, convicted of the murder of
James R. Hay, will have another trial
for his life, viii probably be settled
in the district court tomorrow morning
The arguments on the motion for a
new trial will be heard at that time,
and a strong fight will be made by the
attorneys for the defense for a new
trial. The attorneys on the other side
are prepared to fight the motion TO
the bitter end, and the general i'm
preston among the officers is that the
motion will be denied, and the prisoner
sentenced to pay the penalty for his
crime.
Ever since the motion for a new trial
was filed before the court, stenogra-
pliers have been making a transcript
of the testimony in the first hearing.
This has been completed, and it is the
second largest transcript ever made m
Utah. the transcript in the Nick Ha-
worth case being the largest. The Nor
Jensen transcript covers 1904 pages,
aad cost for the transcription alone
$1,000. 1t contains the evidence of
forty-siX witnesses for the state and
four for the defense.
The arguments for a new trial are
based upon alleged errors in the first
hearing, and Peter Mortensen is conf
dent that he viii be given another
chance to prove his innocence, which
he says he can do. According to the
statements of the officers who have
had care of him since his confinement,
the prisoner has evidenced unmistak-
able signs of nervousness for the past
few days, and does not seem to be as
cheerful as he was while back.
Mortensen is apparently in as good
health as ever, but his aged father has
been sick ever since the trial, and has
been confined to his bed a great por-
ton of the time He states that he
proposes to remain here until the case
is finally settled

The daily average OF bank clearings
for the week is $3.50, 000. 900. This shows
a slight increase, compared with the
previous returns, which Indicated a

gain was probably due to shifting of

was dressed in deep mourning. She
was arrested IN front of Kuhn, Loeb

detectives from the central Office.
Mrs Hunter had tried to obtain
financial aid in the banking house. by
saying that she had an invalid brother,
for whom she wished to buy an in
valid's chair. She was told to come
back at a certain hour.
As soon as she had left a clerk tele-

informed them that for the past five

The Bank Statement.

New York, Aug 23.-The weekly
statement of averages of the associated
banks shows:
Loans, 1918, 6S7, 300; decrease, SIC, 46O,-
100: deposits, S94S, 269, 500; decrease, 81
976. 200; circulation $32, Ala 900: increase,

crease, 81. 1O1, 800; specie, s171, So, 200; in
crease, $T24, 200; reserve, $246, $40, 500; de

O67. 43O; decrease, 81, 994, $50; surplus, So
TAB, $50; increase, $2.616.750.
The Financier says: The striking
feature of the official statement of
the New York associated banks last
week was the reduction of $40, 400, LOO in
loans This was mostly in part due
to the calling in of loans by some of
the banks, which desired thereby to
rectify their position as regards re-
serves, but it was probably largely
caused by the cancellation by borrow
ers of large syndicate loans, which had
been recently negotiated, and which
have tended materially to increase the
loan account of the banks in recent
weeks.
The cash changes shown by the cash
statement again fail to correspond with
the estimates. these estimates showing
a gain of $315, 100 in cash, while the Of
fetal statement indicates a net loss of
1917, 500-specie having been increased

an amount greater by 81, 1875, 500 than
that called for by the decrease of loans
and the net loss OF cash; therefore. the
statement is technically out Of proper

The required reserve was reduced 81, :

middle of the week.
The circulation shows an increase of
