alarmed one Of the janitors, who broke

Uttered with scraps of papers which Del
Bale had apparently destroyed before he
took his life was sealed letter addressed
to Carr Bros, general exporters who &C

J. Carr of that firm it was learned that the
dead man had been in this country little
more than two months. engaged in the TO
tation Of a business scheme to be developed
at his home Guadalajara. Mexico. but as
neither Mr. Carr nor his brother Walter
had received the letter they were unable TO
throw any light on the causes when

Death of Paul Dubois.

Paul Dubois. director of the school Of
fine arts, is dead at Paris.
1t was not till he was twenty-seven years
old that Paul Dubois determined to become
an artist. He was born I'm 1929, and his
father wished him to be a lawyer, but at
last consented to allow him to study art.
He entered the studio of Toussaint, and
after three years there made an extended
visit to Italy. His first contribution to the
Salon was in 1857. little more than a year
after he had begun his active studies, and
before long his work was attracting much
attention. Several of his works were
shown at the exposition of 1861 while at
the exposition of 1878 was his Tomb of
Gen. La Moriciere." which is regarded as
one of the masterpieces of modern sculp-
tuTe. 1t Is an enormous work. including
besides the recumbent figure of the general,
categorical figures of Military Courage,
Charity, Faith and Med,taton, as well as
bas-reliefs. medallions and a frieze. This
tomb is now at Nantes. In 1913 NJ. Dubois
was appointed curator of the Luxembourg
museum, and five years later he succeeded
NJ Guillaume as director of the Ecole des
BeauX-Arts. He was a member of the
Academy and a grand officer of the Legion
of Honor. Dubois was a painter as well
as a sculptor and occasionally exhibited
portraits which obtained highly favorable
criticisms.

that his holdings of personal property were
either converted into actual cash put in
such shape as to be made available for such
conversion at short notice.
His largest business connection was with
the Baltimore Trust and Guarantee Com
pany. OF which he was president many years.
He had a box the vaults of this COM
pany. in which were kept the securities he
owned. valuable deeds and other private
papers. Mr.. Davidson was continued in
the directory of the company for some time
after he was succeeded as president by Mr.
y. N. Baker A short time ago he severed
his connection with the corporation and is
not now interested in it
He notified President Baker few days
ago that he had disposed of all his stock in
the company and on Saturdays the keys of
his safety deposit box in the vaults were
returned to the companys offices rhis was
taken to mean that the box had been emp
tied and that it was surrendered for rent
to any other person.
A banker who has had business rela-
tons with him says there has been a de-
cided change In his habits and manner
during the last year and q half. The
banker attributed this to the practical sus-
pension of the Williams and Middendorf
firms In October, 1893. The asking of an
extension of credits by these bankers, II is
said, saddled Mr.. Davidson and the trust
company. of which he was then the head,
with a tremendous burden and RESPONSE
bility. 1t is true he had a we'll organized
the affairs of these firms. which was finally
done to the satisfaction of the creditors,
but nevertheless, It was urged. the strain
on Mr.. Davidson must have been trying.
Davidson's Career.
Mr.. Davidson was born on a farm seven
miles from Lunenburg Courthouse. Va.
December 20, 1850 being as has been said,
Christmas gift to his parents. His
father, Mr.. William B. Davidson, was later
in the insurance business here, and died
several years ago. His mother was before
her marriage Miss Annie E. Johns, a
daughter of Mr.. Joel Johns of Virginia.
She died when Mr.. Davidson was a boy.
While we'll known in business and finan-
cial circles, Mr.. Davidson was an unknown
quantity in politics until nominated by the
democratic party for mayor in the cam
paign of 1889. At that time there had
arisen a demand for a business administra
ton of city affairs. A business mems or
ganization had been formed, in which Mr..
John E. Hurst and other prominent demo-
Gratis were interested, and Mr.. Davidson
was brought out a candidate. He was
backed by the organization and elected trl-
umphantly, being inaugurated November
20, 1899
After leaving the mayoralty Mr.. David
son was elected president of the Baltimore
Trust and Guarantee Company to succeed
Mr. German II. Hunt, and in this capacity
he served fourteen years. While at the
head of this corporation his financial abll-
ity made itself fully apparent in the com
pany's remarkable development. His restg-
nation as president of the company was
presented last January.
