THE violence to q few foreigners and

former was quite incidental and the latter
due to sporadic antagonism to the Russian

notable features OF the work are in the ro-

made to connect with pipe ten inches in
diameter through which thesmoke is forced.
The other improvements are in the
Supreme. Court library, the House folding

done over in white. All pine doors and
furniture have been removed and mahogany
substituted so far as possible In committee

and were cast at the same foundry in
Chicopee, Mass, where the other doors

made an autopsy upon the body Of Alfred
Krattinger, who was found dead In room
Of Suesen's Hotel on Sunday morning and

Ia no doubt that Krattinger committed
suicide. He had been out enjoying him
self, spent all his money and " as ashamed
to face his wife and parents"
The members Of the Tallahassee Club,

fed with this verdict. They think there
was foul play. One OF the secretaries
said, 'Krattinger was at the club till late
the night before his death. While there

He was very enthusiastic about the elec-
ton and willing to cover any bots. 1t was
known that he had considerable money
on his person. He was probably tracked
to the hotel by some thief and made un-
conscious by blow on the head. Then
he was robbed and the gas turned on to
make it look like suicide. The note found
on his dresser was pro bably an appeal to
John Dordan, written when he realized his
peril
The members OF his family do not be-
said. Il am sure the boy was tracked
