VICTIM OF NEURASTHENlA
Rendered Despondsnt by Physical Con-
dition, He Shot Himself in
Bedroom of Hotel.

Friends OF Harry F. Newton. twenty
two years old. and a popular George
Washington University student, were
shocked today when they learned that
he had committed suicide in New York
hotel yesterday afternoon by sending a
bullet into his brain.
Despairing of recovery from neuras-
thenia. from which he had suffered for
many months. young Newton became
despondent, and while mentally derang-
ed shot himself The young man was
engaged to be married to a charming
Washington girl within a few weeks
but it is said this had been broken off.
An Apt Student.
Newton was well known in the Wash
ington high schools about five years ago.
and always stood high up ia his class.
he entered Columbian University to
take the classic course, and in 1903 lie
played a star game of football in the
position of quarterback. At the uniyer-
sity he had many friends, and his COM
pany was always sought by those ac-
quainted with him.

him. Newton seemed in his usual spirits
on Sunday. and never at any time did
he give his parents or brother Watson
any lntimetion that he had designs on
his Iif2.
In New York Hotel.
Yesterday morning he registered at
the Cosmopolitan Hotel in New York
city. He was shown TO q seeOnd-hoor
room and the belIboy who escorted him
to the door was the last person who
saw him alive. About O'Clock yester-
day afternoon a chambermaid went to
the room. The door was unlocked and
she entered. Young Newton was found
clad IN his neat fitting black suit. white
tie. immaculate shirt and patent leather
shoes His body lay across the bed,
and the new ,32-caliber revolver with
which the shooting had been done was
tightly clasped IN his fingers. A builo'
hole IN his forehead and a small stream
or blood on his cheek told the story.
Inc hotel surgeon. who was sum-
moned, made an examination and pro-
tor stated that hfe had been extinct
several hours, and. although no one
heard the shot fred. il Is believed that
Newton ended his existence immediat teIy
after he entered the room. In his pock-
cts two cards were found. One OF them

has cabed from Caracas to the state de-
partment that the president OF the Vene-

the French Gable company in that part
Of the suit involving the forfeiture or the
oompany's concession. but that he decid-
ed adversely to the government IN iIs
claim for damages because the company
had not lived up TO its concessions
Thus the case. somewhat resembles that
OF the Asphalt company though IN thA'
mattet the decision while declaring a for-
feiture of franchise, postponed declara-
tlcn as TO the suit for damages against
the company. In both cases 1t IL noted
that a final decision has not been renoer-
ed because the right OF appeal has not
been exhausted and 1t may be weeks or
even months before that stage In reached.
1t is said that this government Is not
directly concerned in the French Gable
