WILLIAM ]. LEMP A SUICIDE
The Well-Known St. Louis Brewer
Kills Himself by Shooting.
Grief Over the Recent Death of His
SON Edward the supposed
Cause of the Act.

st. Louis, Feb. 14.-William j. Lemp,
president of the Lemp Brewing Co.,
shot himself through the temple WITH
a revolver at his home, 1922 Lemr
avenue. at $3.50 O'Clock Saturday fore
noon, while in a fit of grief over the
recent death of his son, Edward.
He died an hour later without hav-
ing been conscious after the shot was
fired.
The first known of the act al the
brewery office was at a little after
$50, when a messenger ran into the
office and told a son of the brewer, to
hurry to the residence. a few door
away.
1t was an hour later when word was
received at the office that Mr.. Lemp
had shot himself and was dead.
From what can be learned Mr.. Lemp
arose at his wonted hour Saturday
morning, ate a light breakfast and up
on complaining that he did not feei
well, returned to his room. He must
have spent some time there in writ
ing and making known his last earthly
wishes, An hour later q shot was
heard. Members of the household ran
to the room, only to find the million
aire brewer in the last throes of death.
He was partially disrobed, and lay
upon the bed with his revolver smok-
ing on the blood-stained covers The
mans muscles twitched, he breathed
heavily. A gaping wound in his tenn
pie told the story. Messengers were
dispatched for physicians and DR.
Harmisch was the first to arrive.
"He is beyind all medical or surgic-
al aid" the doctor stated. At 10 O'Clock
he passed away.

Time to Draw the Line.

Addicksis has been taken into the
Republican fold notwithstanding it rep
resents all that is censurable in poll
tics. The Addicks delegates from Della
ware were seated in the Republican
national convention. although it was
well known that political debauchery
was the cause of their being there.
President Roosevelt has again approx
ed of the rotten side of Delaware poll
tics by appointing William NJ. Byrne
as assistant district attorney for New
York who has been one OF the princi-
pal Addicks strikers and partiSans. lie
has only resided in New York for Il few
months, so his appointment is therefore
the more remarkable, and when it is
remembered that the United States sen
ate refused to confirm his appointment
as district attorney for Delaware it is
the more extraordinary. To inject the
poison of Addicksism into the Repub-
lican organization of New York by
planting one of its shoots in that fertile
soil for strategy and spoils in the i'm
portant Office of United States district
attorney, where the opportunity for po-
litical evils are so numerous, is almost
beyond comprehension.
Talk of home rule and civil service
reform and boast, as the Republicans
do. that President Roosevelt is for their
honest enforcement and then think Of
such an appointment when the facts
were all we'll known. Usually excuses
can be made for bad appointments by
the president. He has to rely upon
what others tell him about those who
seek federal appointments, but in the
Byrnc case the appointee. Addicks and
the debauchinG of Delaware were all
notorious. and no one had more wealth
of details of the rottenneSS than Pres
ideut Roosevelt
This is the last straw" says the
New York World. I'VE can stand Adj

treaty which President Roosevelt
forced through congress. for it adds:
THE fact will not be lost sight OF
that had the principles enunciated in

national administration during the past
