MRS. BRUsEKE's SUICIDE.

Prospect Hill Cemetery.

Mrs. Louisa Bruseke fifty-three years
old. who lived in the house of Mrs. Johnson.

eide this forenoon by swallowing carboiic
acid She was found lying upon her hus-
bands grave in Prospect Hill cemetery and
was hurried to Freedmens Hospital, where
she died shortly after her arrival 1t Is
believed that her mind was affected.
Last night while in her home she told
friends of a dream she had and said 1t
would be necessary for her to go to the
cemetery and lie upon her husbands grave.
Mrs. Johnson said she would accompany
her to the burying ground. but Mrs. Bru-
seke did not seem anxious to have company.
After putting her off several times she told
Mrs. Johnson that she thought she would
postpone her trip to her husbands grave.
When Mrs. johnson finally missed her and
realized that she had probably gone to the
cemetery, she sent word to Mr.. H. w. Nc
Calty, son-in-law of Mrs. Bruseke Of what
she surmised and then went with the latter
to the cemetery. They reached there only
a short time after the arrival of the woman
who was bent on taking her life.
Some person who had been attracted to
the cemetery by the woman's strange con-
duct had found her and started for police
man. Mr.. McCalty and Mrs Johnson
reached the grave of the husband of Mrs.
Bruseke just after she had swallowed the
fatal Gose. The bottle was still being held
a. her mouth and she was unconscious.
The ambulance from Freedman's Hospital
responded to a CALL and the dying woman
was hurried to the hospital Death occur
red in a short time as already stated, and
without the dying woman regaining con-
sciousness. Mr.. ,McCalty and Mrs. Johnson
went to the hospital, hoping Mrs. Bruseks
would regain consciousness and be able TO
tell them something Of why she had taken
the acid. She failed to rally. however. and
death claimed her in a short time.
Coroner hewitt was notified OF the wU-
mans death. He will make an invesuga-
ton later in the day and probably give 4
certificate Of death without the formally
of an inquest. Several years ago man
made an unsuccessful attempt to end his
life in the same cemetery by resting upon
the grave of a Child and shooting himself.
On the way to the cemetery. 1t was
Stated. Mrs. Bruseke said to her friend
that her husband had called her to come
and meet him. An effort was made to
knock the bottle from her hand after
reaching the grave. but she succeeded in
swallowing enough Of the acid to kill her.

EXPO. EMPLOYEES ARRESTED.
Charged With Gigantic Conspiracy to
Rob Fair Company.

ST. LOUIS, July IA. VIM. H. Ellis,
Charles II. Stiiler Henry Miller and Ed
ward Kiely, all of St. Louis, employees Of
the admissions department of the worlds
fair, have been arrested and taken to the
worlds fair police station. where they will
be held pending an investigation into what
is believed to be gigantic conspiracy to
rob the exposition company by ticket ir-
regularities. o-eo..
Norris B. Gregg director Of admissions
and concession of the worlds fair, beyond
admitting that a searching investigation Is
being conducted in the department of ad-
missions by detectives, refused to talk
about the alleged conspiracy.
Indications are that large number of
the employees Of the division OF admissions
have been in the conspiracy to defraud the
exposition company, and that large sum
Of money has been secured.
The switching back and second sale Of
genuine tickets and the wide circulation of
counterfeit admission cards are said to be
two OF the schemes which have been worked
with success.
The continued operations Of these schemes
to defraud have been possible because the
use of tickets has been superseded by pat
ent coin machines at only the main and
administration entrances.
In the carrying out OF the conspiracy the
men at the gates are supposed to have had
the co-operatfon of others in the ticket
booths and of certain employees in the Of
fees Of the admissions department in the
administration building. well as inspec-
tors stationed at the entrance.

CONSUMPTION LEADS.
Board of Health Shows It Responsible
for Most Deaths.

CHICAGO. July A-In circular just
issued by the state board Of health. en-
titled 1.-THE Cause and Prevention Of Con-
sumption" 1t is shown that in Illinois the
disease is responsible for more deaths than
typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria, all
forms of bronchitis, influenza, measles and
smallpox combined.
1t is further found that those dying from
consumption were usually In the prime OF
life and ages at which men are most valu-
able to themselves. their families and the
state. OF the 1900 persons who died from
this disease in Illinois in 1913 half Of them
were between the ages Of twenty and fifty.
while the estimated loss each year to the
state because of the disease Is about
$36 O0O. 600.
The investigations of the board have
demonstrated that an especial climate is
not essential to the cure of consumption,
but that the disease Is durable in Illinois.
In the circular suggestions are made to
consumptives on methods Of life calculated
to lead to physical improvement. and 1t
also announces that the board has estab-
Iished laboratory in which the sputum of
suspected tuberculosis cases will be ex-
amined without cost An appeal Is made
for the establishment Of a state hospital
for the treatment Of the disease.

with regard to the distribution OF these or
