TAUGHT At EDISON HOME.
Suicide Worried OUer Threats to
Kidnap InUentor,s Children.

Orange Aug. IA (SpeciaD.-Miss Ethel X. Par
doe, governess in the employ of Mrs. Thomas A
Edison wife of the inventor committed suicide
to-day at the home of Mrs. Annie G. Miller, No
148 Cleveland-st. Orange. The police have been
unable to learn what prompted the deed. She
was not in trouble of any kind so far as known
Her father died last winter. He was a minis
ter. of Ontario, Canada, and 1t is thought that
sorrow over his loss may have caused her to end
her life.
Miss Pardoe was alone in the upper part OF
the house to-day and when discovered by Mrs.
Rafen VINO lives downstairs and who smelled
escaping gas was nearly dead. She expired be-
fore reaching the Orange Memorial Hospital.
She had carefully plugged the keyhole and
cracks in the doors and windows of her room.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon Mrs. Edison, ac-
companied by her husband. rode up to the
Orange police station in an automobile Mrs
Edison expressed great concern at the fate OF
her former goVerness. She said that Miss Par
doe was merely staying at Mrs. Mtllers for
few weeks and was to return to her home soon
Later 1t was learned from persons who knew
Miss Pardoe that she worried considerably over
her duties as governesS at Mrs. Edisons. About
three years ago anonymous letters were received
by the Edisons containing threats to kidnap the
children. The children were never molested, but
the episode made Mrs. Edison extremely ner-
Vous and she frequently cautioned Miss Pardoe
to be particularly careful when she was away
from the house and keep the children in view all
the time. Miss Pardoe is said to nave been OF
nervous disposition and she worried greatly. She
told friend she felt she could stand It no
longer, and for that reason she left Mrs. Edi-
sons temporarily
Among the. effects Of the dead girl the police
found a bank book No. 1850. of the Savings
Investment and Trust Company of East Orange.

BILLET POOL LOST $500, 900.
Steel Trust Plans to Get Back at the
PittSburg Com pany.

Pittsburg Aug. 14.-Since the announcement
of the friction IN the billet pool due to the sale
of the big tonnage for conversion to the Pitts
burg Steel Company. the manufacturers in the
association have maintained discreet silence
regarding their future plans. That some action
is to be taken. however. has been learned from
a high authority.
The saving that the Pittsburg Steel Company
has made through its billet purchase is about
"a ton. If the order were for 10000 tons this
would mean a saving of $4,000. but the fact
is the purchases Of the Pittsburg Steel Com
pany on this deal were never correctly reported.
II is learned that the actual tonnage secured
through this d4s; was 10000 tons. This means
a saving 10 the steel company OF ss0ooee, and
a corresponding loss TO the poo.
owing 10 the fact that the Pittsburs Steel
Company will turn the major part OF this orde-
into wire and wire nails. the profit that would
accrue would come from firm market price
for the wire and wire nails. II is said that the
United states steel Corporation allowing Ior
its profit on ore. pig iron and its billets self
made will be able so 10 lower the price OF wire
and wire nails as 10 Offset the extra proht that
would otherwise come 10 the Pittsburg steel
Company and remove the gain that the cheaper
biIlets would naturally be expected TO give. IL
was intimated TO day that this was one or the
policies to be pursued.

of the girl went to the church where their

of their Jewish friends, and demanded her re-
lease on the ground that the court decided that
the girl was under age, and could not act inde
pendently in such matters. and that consequent

SHE SAW MANNINO BOY.
Woman IN Vest HobOken Vas Er-

AS much of a mystery ever last evening.
and no nearer solution. apparently, than on the
night of his disappearance was the kidnapping
of Tony Mannno, the son of James Mannino.
Of No. 81 Amity-st.. Brooklyn.
Captain Dooley. Of the Amity-s-. station told
a Tribune reporter that he had no clews as to
the whereabouts OF the child. He and his men
had been working for the last three days in
Weekawken, Hoboken and other parts Of New
Jersey on various clews, but without getting
any results. 1t was expected that something
would be learned from a woman in West Hobo
ken, who was thought TO have seen the child in
the company OF Vito Leducca, who was said to
have known something Of the barrel mystery"
but nothing came of the investigation there
Captain Rooney said he had untiringly worked
tlp every clew no matter how slight it appeared,
and he hoped 10 find the boy eventually, but
there was nothing in sight that would warrant
him in saying when he would be able to get
the boy.
Mr. Mannino told a Tribune reporter last
evening that he had news OF the whereabouts
OF his boy.
