ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE
Coleman Admits That He Killed Edna
Hoffman Because the Woman Re-
fused to Respond to His Affections,
and Says He Will Never Be Hanged.

Portland, April S.--John T. Coleman,
a gambler, who murdered Edna Hoff-
man, a notorious woman of this city,
was today arrested at Centralia, Wash,
while attempting to escape from the
Portland Northern Pacific train. Cole
man was taken to the county Jail at
Chehalis, where he attempted to kill
himself by cutting his throat with a
razor, concealed in his shoe.
Later the Portland officers went to
Chehalis and on finding good chances
for the mans recovery, brought him
to Portland. Coleman since his first
attempt at suicide, twice tried to tear
the bandages from his throat, and for
that reason it was deemed best to bind
him hand and foot to cot when he
was placed in the Jail here. Coleman
admits that he killed the Hoffman
woman because she failed to respond
to his affections and SAYS he will
make away with himself before he
will be hanged for the crime

Chicago, April S,-one Of the most

wound up in Chicago today, The
municipal ownership of street rail-
ways has been the issue. John NJ.
Harlan. son of Justice Harlan of the
United States supreme court, is the
republican candidate for mayor and
Judge Edward +. Dunno of the cir
cult court is the democratic candidate
Both candidates stand pledged for
municipal ownership, but by different
methods. The democratic candidate
stands for the immediate purchase or
condemnation Of all the tangible prop
erty and unexpired franchises OF the
railway companies. The republican
advocates the reference of the ques-
tion to the people by referendum vote.
The republican managers claim the
election Of Harlan by 10000 plurality.
The democrats seem confldfnt that
Dunno will have anywhere from 10000
to $4,000 plurality, II is not thought
likely that thee socialists will poll over
10000 votes.

Ex-Ambassador to Germany Has a
Narrow Escape on Pull.
man Car.
NO CAUSE FOR ACCIDENT
Train Running at High Rate Of Speed
From New York Passes a Freight
and Door Of the Latter Strikes Win
dow in the Pullman Car.

New York. April 3.-Andrew d.
White, former professor Of Cornell uni
versity and e4-ambassador to Ger
many, has had a narrow escape from
death while returning to this city from
New Haven. He was severely cut by
glass from a broken window and only
escaped by the 1prrowest margin from
losing the top Of his head. The silk
hat which he wore was cut across as
II by knife scarcely more than one
eighth OF an inch from the top Of his
head.
Mr.. White had a seat in a Pullman,
two cars back from the engine. Near
him sat woman and a child. The
train was running at high rate Of
speed near New York when 1t passed
freight train going in the opposite
direction. Suddenly there was a crash
and shower Of glass and bits of wood
fell on Mr.. White, who had been read
ing.
His hands and arms were severely
cut, while a piece of plate glass had
cut his silk hat almost in two. The
former diplomat was dazed by the sud
denness of he flash and is still suffer-
ing from the shock. The woman pas
senger. sitting nearby, was slightly
hurt and when the train reached New
York she was sent home in cab.
Examination of the car showed that
something had hit the double window
opposite where Mr.. White was seated.
Glass from the side apparently had
been hurled across the car with sucn
force that the window beside the for
mer diplomat was demolished. The
train was stopped but no cause for
the accident could be found nor was
there evidence that anything had been
thrown at the train. Trainmen
reached the conclusion that car door
of the passing freight train caused the
trouble.

Washington. April 3.-President
Roosevelt has carried out his plans for
the reorganization OF the Isthmian
canal commission as TO the personal
and business methods generally on the
lines OF the legislation suggested by
congress at the last session which
failed in the crush OF business in the
closing hours. Today. within a half
hour after the presidents departure
from Washington. Secretary Taft, d.
rectly In charge OF the canal matters,
made public the personnel of the new
commission and the division OF duties
among them
Only one member of the old COM
mission was reappointed- Benjamin NJ.
Harrod. Otherwise the commission is
new from top 10 bottom, for there is
a top and a bottom and considerable
difference between the functions and
pay OF the commissioners. Finding
that he was legally obliged to appoint
seven commissioners the president did
so. but carried out his plans by max
ing three OF them practically the full
commission. The other four. although
bearing the title of commissioners, not
only receive much lower compensation,
but are assigned TO much smaller du-
ties and fields OF activity.
The president also carried out his
scheme OF dividing up the work OF
the canal building among the commits

FORGED BY CHEMISTRY.
Man Arrested for Raising Postoffice
Money Orders.

New York, April S.-Postoffice in
spectors yesterday arrested Louis Gug-
genheimer on a technical charge of
forgery and he was held in $500 bail.
The officers say that by his operations
in raising money orders Gugenhelmel
secured at least $4,000 and possibly
$4,000.
Guggenheimer is said to possess a
chemical secret that makes a real art
of his work in raising postoffice money
orders. His method has been to pur-
chase orders for small amounts, raise
them to large sums, and cash them
with merchants, buying goods and re-
ceiving his change in money.

SHOCK FELT TWELVE MILES
Work Of Rsseuins the Miners IL Made
Difficult by the Foulness Of the Air
and Only Fifteen Bodies Have Been

Benton. ILL.,. April 3.--Some 90 min
crs were cntombcd today in Joseph
Letters mine at zeigier by terrific
explosion OF gas and probably 80 orfao
buried men are dead. Thus far -
bodles have been found. The explosion
was due TO the fact that Leither mines
were not worked on Sunday. thus al
lowing the gas TO accumulate In the
lower workings.
When between SO and i5 miners had
descended into the mine today TO re-
sumo work terrific explosion blew the
tlmbera about the mouth OF the mine
high into the air, One OF the steel
cages was blown to the surface from
the bottom OF the sOO.foot shaft. The

This hindered the work OF aiding the

darkness fell tonight only three bodies
and one injured man had been brought
TO the surface. These bodies were
found 40 feet from the bottom OF TIE
air shaft. The work OF rescue is made
very difficult and dangerous by the
foulness OF the air IN the mine. Only
two bodies found show marks OF the
explosion, death In all other cases be-
Ing evidently the result of asphyxia-
tion.
There was much excitement among
the miners when the accident became
known. because there had been a strike
OF long duration and many conflicts
occurred between the strikers and nom
union miners. An all day investigation
tends TO show the catastrophe was due
TO accidental explosion of accumulated
gas.
