A telephone message was received
in Prescott this afternoon, containing
the startling information that H. j.
Allen, financial manager for W. A.
Clark's United Verde mine, had COM
mitted suicide at his ranch this morn
ing at eleven o'clock.
The dead was accomplished by means
of a six shooter, with which be sent
bullet through his brain, dropping
dead in his tracks.
Mr.. Allen has had complete charge
of the finances of the great copper
company, of which Senator W. A.
Clark is the head, for great many
years, and in this capacity, in addi-
ton to looking after the Office and the
business of the company at the mines
and smelter, bad multifarious duties
outside, in looking after the inter
ests of the company in the matter of
legislation, taxation and other re-
spects.
No truer man ever existed in look
ing after his employers interests,
than was Mr.. Allen in looking after
Senator CIark's interests.
A short time since he concluded
that the duties required of him were
worthy of greater remuneration than
he was receiving and asked for an ad
vance IN his salary, which was very
promptly turned down by Senator
Clark, who is not noted for possessing
any great amount .of appreciation for
any mans services when the question
of dollars and cents is involved.
On the refusal to advance his wages
MIR. Allen at once rendered his resig-
nation, and the lack of appreciation
manifested on the part of Mr.. Clark
had the effect of producing a feeling
of dependency in him.

the United Verde company and an
other man from the New York office,
and Will l.. Clark, the latter of whom
will fill the position occupied by
Mr.. Allen arrived at Jerome last even
ing, and Charley Clark, son of Sena-
tor W. A. Clark, is due to arrive
there this evening to take charge of
the entire works as general manager
Mr.. Allen yesterday decided all of
his property to his wife and during
the afternoon accompanied by rhos.
E. Campbell and DR.. Wood went

about four miles from Jerome, where
he remained last night, the Others re-
turning to Jerome.

The Guild Tea given last evening
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. W.

than of a regular monthly social
affair of a church. The attendance
was quite large, members of all de-

ladies officiated ON the reception COM
mittee. W. G. Bashford, Mr.. Cleve-

this capacity. They met the guests

Pullman Statement.

Officials of the Pullman company
have sent statistics to the New York
legislature to refute the statement
made recently that in one year 790
people we're killed in Pullman cars
andl $50 injured in that state alone,
due to weak construction of cars.
The company's records show that dur
ing the year ending September l last
not single passenger was killed in a
Pullman in the state of New York.
The statement further shows that dur
ing the last three years the Pullman
company carried 80, 800, 341 people in
the United States, during which time
six people we're killed and sixty four
slightly injured.
With the view of reducing the dan
ger of contracting disease while
travelling in sleeping cars, the Pull
man company is continuing its exper-
iments, this time a new vacuum or
suction process being employed. The
experiments thus far apparently in
dictate that the new process will al
most, if not entirely, eradicate disease
germs, so that when sleeping cars
start on fresh Journeys there Will be
no danger of contagion. The present
method of cleaning the inside of cars
is by compressed air forced through a
tube, which blows all the dust and
dirt away. In addition to this there
is treatment of formaldehyde gas.
The blowing process, however, may
fail to eradicate all dust and disease
germs, some of which are liable to re-
settle in the car. In the vacuum pro
