About tho suicide of Joseph G. Mari
ner, owner of the Philadelphia Wall
Paper Mills, there is naught but pathos
He bartered his life that his pressing
creditors might be paid. He realized
that, living he could not meet their
demands.
But stranger still is the fact that
this manner Of overcoming his tinan-
cial difficulties was suggested to him.
The inspiration came, not from his own
heart. but from a sordid creditor.
To explain this strange incentive to
suicide it is necessary to recall meet
ing of Mr.. Mariners creditors on July
s in New York. Twenty-Five of them
were gathered there in a joint effort to
save themselves from loss as far as was
possible. A few OF these creditors were
Fhiladelphians, several of them bank
ers whose institutions carried Mr..
Mariners paper. The others were New
Workers. Mariner was not there, but
he was represented by counsel.
In the progress Of this meeting many
suggestions were made. but none that
was acceptable to all of the creditors. It
was finally agreed that a committee
should be selected to confer with Mr.
Mariner and, II possible. agreed upon
a plan of settlement. At first it was
suggested that the committee consist OF
four members, one of whom should be
a banker. But TO this there was vio-
lent opposition.
The majority OF the creditors con-
tended that the banking interests
should have no representation on the
committee. They based this contention
on the ground that the banks were al
ready practically preferred creditors
because they held life insurance poll
cies against Mr.. Mariner to the aggre-
gate Of about 500 600.
How can that be-" demanded Ons
Of the creditors representing a bank
1T is true that the banks hold as col

policies There are two OF $4,000 face
value each. One is a twenty payment
policy. maturing in seventeen or eigh.
teeen years. The other is a straight
life policy. Assuming that this mar
Will live the average period of life the
banks will have paid out on these two
policies as much more or more thar
they are worth.
There is only one course by which
the banks can figure as preferred credi.
tors in this case. That is for Mariner
to considerably commit suicide"
Over that meeting of creditors a pro
found hush fel. Everyone seemed tC

FISHING NET
CAUGHT BODY
Mystery Surrounds Drowning
Of Man at Augustine Pier
SAID TO BE A POLICEMAN
Jumped From Steamer Columbia on
Which His Wife and Children
We're Passengers
SAID TO BE A POLICEMAN

Mystery surrounds the identity and
manner of death OF n man now in the
keeping of Undertaken Householder. Of
Delaware City. The man jumped from
the deck Of the steamer Columbia which
took a large excursion from Augustine
Park yesterday. Whether il is a case Of
suicide or accident Coroner Frich who has
been investigating the case, has been un-
able to determine.
One story told by one Of the passengers
is that the man jumped overheard after
the Columbia left the wharf Another and
the most likely one is that the man was
swimming and jumped from the steamer s
deck into the bay. This is borne out by
the fact that when found the man wore
a bathing suit. There was bruise on ms
head.
An effort was made to reach represen-
tatives Of the steamboat company this
morning, but they could not be found. So
far as is known they did not report the
loss Of a passenger in Philadelphia when
the boat arrived there last evening.
May Be Policeman
At Delaware City it is reported that
the drowned man was policeman in the
Thirty-fifth ward, Philadelphia. and that
his wife and children We're on the boat.
They went back to Philadelphia on the
boat.
About three hours after the boat had
left the body was recovered by T.. II.
Zaokes. of Port Penn, who was pulling
in a haul seine The body was i'm the
net. Chief Of Police Black has asked the
Philadelphia police department to assist
him in finding the drowned mans rela-
tives.

For the benefit of the Herald the

the suggestion that all corporations

one place only. Sell the goods only
at one public, advertised price, which
cannot be raised without ten days
notice. Prohibited under severe pen
alities, from selling to one party
cheaper than to another. Every
paper maker would have TO sell his
paper only at the mill where it was
made, and at one price to all. Prin-
ters could then buy from the nearest
mill, cost of manufacture being equal.
Wherever there was material from
which to max paper a mill could be
built and be sure of the trade half

tion. New York mills cqlld not sell
