JUMPED FROM HOTEL WINDOW
NEW AMSTERDAM SUICIDE FIRST
TRIED TO SWALLOW RAZOR.

Registered as J. J. LOran az New Britain.
hut Not Known There-RaLOr Edge
Turned and Throat Not Cut-BOnes
BrOken-MarIGs cut on Clothes.
A man who registered Thursday after
noon at the New Amsterdam Hotel, Fourth
avenue and Twenty first street, as j. j.
Loran Of New Britain, Conn, killed himself
last evening by jumping from his room on
the fourth foor Of the hotel In an effort to
make his death sure the suicide before
jumping showed a handleless razor down
his throat. The edge OF the blade was
broken to bits by the fall, but the mans
throat was not cut in the least. The body
was clad only in an undershirt and over
coat,
Nothing Is known about the dead man
at the hotel. He went TO his room after
registering on Thursday. No one had
seen him about the hotel after that. He
had never stopped there before, 10 far as
any one in the hotel could remember. He
jumped from the window Of the room
assigned to him on the Twenty-first street
side Of the hotel shortly after O'Clock
Policeman Winder Of the East Twenty
second street station, who was on the cor
ner, saw the body when il was in midair.
The man was dead when the policeman
got to him. Later Coroner Scholer said that
the spine. both arms, both shoulders, the
left hip and the right knee had been broken.
The body landed just outside the curb.
Winder pulled the broken razor from the
mans throat and carried the body to the
side entrance OF the hotel II was kept
there until the arrival Of the Coroner. Then
4 was removed to the East Twenty-seoond
street station and later, at the direction Of
the Coroner to the Morgue.
Loran's room was locked on the inside.
The police and the Coroner forced an en-
trance The rest Of the mans clothing was
found, together with the empty razor case.
There was nothing about the clothing,
which was Of fair qunlity, 10 settle the mans
identity. The makers name, as well az
the suicide's, had been cut from the coat
and trousers. There vas t7.i5 found in
Samuel 4 Co. Of Hartford and the hat
from a store at IS Asylum street. In the "a me
city. A time table OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad was also found in one Of the
pockets,
The window from which Loran Jumped
has a fire esRpe. The opening was large
enough for a man TO fall through. Coroner
Scholer said however, that IN view Of the
razor In the mans throat there could be
no doubt but that he had committed suicide.
A despatch from Hartford Last night
said that the only LoTan In that place was
j. B. Loran and all the fingers on one Of his
hanCs we're missing. II described him as
about IS years old. There were no fingers
missing from the man who jumped from
the hotel window.

There was considerable confusion, with
Messrs. Lodge, SpOOneT, CarmRCk, Teller,
Morgan and Foraker addressing the Chair.
Ntce-President Fairbanks recognized Mr..
Morgan, and that Senator said;
As objection has been made TO the read
ing OF the resolutions by the secretary,

Mr.. Cullom objected 70 immediate con-
sideTatiOn OF the resolutions, and they
went over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Teller then brought up his resolution
calling upon the Secretary Of State for
copies OF correspondence between the
state Department and its agents since last
July, in regard TO Santo Domingo affairs
At the suggestion OF Mr. BpoOner he modified
u by requesting the President to forward
the information, instead Of directing the
Secretary Of state 10 do 80.
MIR. Teller then made sarcastic COM
ments on the wonderful secrets behind
locked doors OF the Senate, which are only
disclosed by the papers. He said the
Government would not have ceased opera.
tons IL the public had heard every word
OF the Santo Domingo debate, although IL
might have been amused. He had seen
Senator's hold up their hnnds and swear
that they had not divulged executive ses-
sion secrets and he had seen an executive
secretary expelled on suspicion that he
had betrayed the Senate. That was an
unjust proceeding, as the man was innocent
The secrets were regularly published after
the officer had been expelled.
I'VE don't know how these reports get
out. said Mr.. Teller -and We never will
know, It's the fault Of the system.
1t seems TO me it's getting worse, said
Mr.. Cullom. The reports in the news
papers are more full and moro regular
Something will have to be done to protect
the Senate in executive session or abandon
those sessions. | think sometimes We
ought 10 open the doors and keep them
open.
Mr.. Lodge objected 10 the Teller resolu-
ton because Il placed the President in the
attitude Of conceaiing something II he
should decline TO send in the documents
asked for.
The Teller resolution was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations, which
will pigeonhole IL.

the mans inside coat pocket and ex-
tracted the ticket and replaced the
pocket book. McDonough was sitting
Ia seat near by but his actions were
not observed and he got off the train
at Hatley. Shortly after the Norwegian
awOke and discov, red the loss of his
pocket book Sheriff Damon was on
the train and was notified of the rob-
berry. As McDonough was sitting
closer to Anderson than any other

Sheriff Damon went back on the next
train and served it. Through a ruse
McDonough Was led into giving up the
