Attendance Larger by Nearly Thousand
Than on the Opening Night - The
Mystic Table Selling Tickets for Val

The second night of the great Ma
sonic Fair and Exposition at Convention
Hall proved even more successful thar the
opening night.
The crowds were greater, the illumina-
ton more brilliant, the arrangements
more complete the ladies, after a rest
from the original rush of preparation, if
anything more charming; and, what in
terested the management most, the cash
fresh from the Treasury vaults through
the Government employees flowed in an
almost constant stream into the golfers OF
the fair committee.
1t was blue lodge night, and every
where the members of the lodges were
wing to Guido themselves in their eff
fort to make their night memorable
one in the history of the fair. From the
moment that they were escorted in body
into the hall headed by Haley's Inaugural
Band, until the lights were exIinguishei
at 1l:30 o'clock, they were everywhere to
be found ratronizing the various booths
and entering into the festivities of the
occasion with a whole-souled fervor that
bespoke the universal interest III the sue
cess Of the project.
Gift From the White House
The continued interest of President and
Mrs. Roosevelt in the fair was evidenced
by further donations which they sent from
the White House by special messenger
with appropriate notes bearing good
wishes.
Major Sylvester was on hand early in
the evening with force of fifty-fve po-

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
w. A. Coomhs Shoots Himself in the
Breast

Having suffered with nervousness for
more than year, and fearing that he
could never be cured, Mr.. William A.
Coombs. twenty-one years old, residing
at 514 Second Street northeast, shot him
self in the let breast last night about
II o'clock. He was taken to the Elmer
gency Hospital, where the bullet was ex-
tracted, and at a late hour last night the
doctors stated that they thought he would
live, unless complications set in.
1t appears that Mr.. Coombs went to his
room and while lying on his bed placed
the revolver over the heart and fired one
shot. 1t is thought that he intended the
bullet should penetrate the heart, but it
glanced upward, and it is the only thing
that saved him from instant death. His
sister heard the shot and rushed to his
room. She found her brother bleeding
profusely. She Immediately called for as
sistance and the Emergency Hospital
ambulance took the unfortunate man to
he hospital.

in the name of :he Liberals OF the Left re-
