unauthorized. He then proceeded TO argue

emphasis on the claim that the order OF

WOMAN HoUNDED TO DEATH
Repetition of False story Drives n
Massachusetts stenOErapher
to Commit Suicide

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Lorenzon Berry,
a carpenter of West Medford Mass, today
identified as that of his daughter Ella, the
body of the young woman who committed
suicide on Wednesday in the Hotel Man
haitian. She was a stenographer in her
home town, he said.
Mr.. Berry declared that the publication
OF an untrue story in a Boston paper a
year ago, that his daughter had run away
with a married man, was the cause of her
self destruction. The next day, Mr.. Berry
said, 1t turned out that she had merely
been on her vacation alone. Although the
paper published a retraction. Mr.. Berry
added. the injury done her was great and
she never recovered from 1t, but grew
more and more downhearted and morose.
Wherever the daughter would CO." Mr..
Berry continued, '1t would seem as some
one was ready to point her out as a girl
who had been mixed up in a disgraceful
affair. Then she went away from home
to seek employment In other cities. She
would be a short time in a place when
the story would reach the ears OF her en-
ployers and she would be told that she
could not remain. This happened several
times until my child could not bear it any
longer"
Elmer Berry, the dead girls brother, who
was with the father said that letter had
been received by the family from the girl
in which they were notified by her that
she had decided to put an end to it.
II cannot bear this false stain upon my
character" she wrote to hcv-fsther, and I
see nothing else for me to do than to kill
myself. Please forgive me and believe that
l would not do this thing II it were not
that I am nearly out of my mind with
grief and horror at the awful story which
everybody seems to think is t5le"

AT what do you estimate the holdings

Ramsey.

port OF several large stockholders in this

4 has been some dissatisfaction as to the
way earnings have been applied The views
/ Of my father on this point have clashed
with those Of Mr.. Gould.
There are only two ways of getting over
! this difficulty-my father should leave the
company or else the control should be
/ turned over TO the interests in sympathy

/ "Mr. Ramsey was asked TO surrender tht
Office Of president and was for doing so al
once, but holders Of large blocks Of Wa
bash securities persuaded him not to dc
so. The same interests now wish him no
TO sever his connection with the company
at the expiration Of his term, which occuri
