ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
In A RESTAURANT
GEORGE LoWNDES STABBED
HIMSELF IN MECH.

Committed Act in Cellar of Restaurant
Where He Was EmpIosed--was
Under Arrest for Theft at the Time
Received Permission to Get His Coat
and Hat--But Instead Cut His Throat
Accused Of Number of Thefts-.
Robbed Gas Meter of $40. -
Shortly after two o'clock yesterday
afternoon George Lowndes of 152 Car
Isle street attempted to commit sui
eide in the cellar of Bradley & Nc
Cabe's restaurant OH Meadow street,
where he was employed as waiter.
For a long while both the proprietors
and the other employees have been
missing goods and money. The money
which was stolen was left in the pock-
cts of the employees street clothes,
which were left in lockers in the base
ment. 1t was learned that the sus-
pected man had a key which would fit
all the lockers, and he was watched
but without result. Sums amounting
to from five dollars to fifteen cents
We're stolen at various times. In ad-
dition to this the store room was be-
ing systematically robbed and so Cap
tain Cowles of the detective bureau
was notified. An investigation also
showed that the prepaid gas meter had
been robbed of about $27 and the gas
company also entered a complaint.
Detective Frey was put on the case,
and discovered evidence against
LoWndes. Yesterday afternoon he went
at work. He told him that he wanted
him, and Lowndes said, "All right"
He then asked permission to get his
hat and coat from the cellar and to
this the detective consented. When
LoWndes did not appear within a linn
tied time Detective Frey went down
stairs after him. He found the man
lying in a coal bin covered with blood.
He had used a small pocket knife and
had stabbed himself three times in the
throat, one of the stabs narrowly miss
ing the jugular vein.
AS soon as the detective discovered
the mans condition he summoned the
ambulance and took the man to the
New Haven hospital. 1t was stated
at the hospital early this morning that
the patient while seriously injured was
not dangerously SO, and would proha-
bly, recover. That he had a narrow es-
cape from death is the opinion of the
surgeons.
Lowndes is about thirty-three years
old and has only been with the firm OF
Bradley & McCabe for short while,
having been enploed in a lunch wagon
on Elm street prior to that time. '' ~ "a

emies, but to do so involved himself
in the some ruin. If the object be
to raise prices, it is equally futile,
because even if the prices should go
up, those who had burned their prod
ucts would of course have that much
less to sell.
We know of but one historic paral-
lei for this cotton burning. Many
centuries ago the Dutch owned the
Spice Islands and with them had a
monopoly of the spice trade, as this
article was then nowhere else obtain
able. An enormous revenue came
to the government from its exclusive
controle over these rich islands, and
they were guarded with utmost care
from outside depreciation. A certain
old Dutch governor, sent out from
Holland to rule the islands, had a
bright idea to flash in his brain while
smoking his pipe and bordering over
the problem one day. These spice
trees produce so many pounds of
spices and these spices are worth so
much money" remarked the Cover
nor as he concluded his meditations.
Whats the use of so many trees?
will cut down half of them and
thus double the vale of the others. "
1t did not occur to this stupid Off
cial that in as much as there was no
possibility of competition and all the
produce of his trees was in ready de-
mand at good prices he was simply
burning up half his income by dis
troying half his trees.
That is precisely the situation with
the southern cotton growers; they
have a practical monopoly of the cot
ton of the world, whose price left to
the law of supply and demand will
of course, fiuctuate but in long run
be satisfactory. Manifestly, if there
is surplus, the remedy is not to
burn, but to store it against a short
crop in the future. Even to sell at
half price, however, would be better
than burning, just as something is
bet ter than nothing.

1t is difficult to believe the sto-

are burning their cotton as a means
of keeping up prices. There is an
element in it both of the ludicrous
and pathetic. AT once the old idiocy
of setting fire to the house to get rid
of the rates is suggested, and the
one act is not a whit less ridiculous
than the other. If farmers general
ly should adopt this method when
prices of products ran low, they
would set a very vicious example to
the rest of the world, but would be
themselves the worst sufferers.

would be gone without improving

FLAT ASA FOUNDER"
Something of the Life History OF
an Interesting And Cur
i0uS Fish.
tSt. Nlcholus.l

The expression as nat as nOunu-
err" has become proverbial, but it
does not apply to very young found
ers, which differ so much from the
adult ones that they can hardly be
recognized as belonging to the same
family as their parents. Most boys
and girls are familiar with full
grown founders, but very few of
them, and few older people, know
anything about the appearance of
young founders and the wonderful
transformation they undergo. In
spring and summer it is possible for
young nature students to secure
specimens of newly Matched found
ers by dragging a fine mesh net on
sunny days when the water is
smooth. Such specimens may easily
be kept alive in dishes of salt water,
and examined from time TO time
with a low-power microscope.
The founders begin life as do or
binary fishes. When they first en-
erge from the egg they swim verti-
cally. with the head turned upward.
Their bodies are symmetrical and
their eyes are on opposite sides of
the head. Gradually the position of
the body changes from vertical to
horizontal, and the fish remain thus
for some time. swimming like ordi-
nary fishes, but while still very
small there is foreshadowing of the
bottom life they are destined for,
and they enter upon a series of re-
markable changes. The most strik-
ing of these changes is in the posi-
ton of the eyes. The eye of one
side or the other slowly but steadily
moves over to the opposite side of
the head and takes a place beside the
other eye. In some founders the
eve moves round the front of the
head. in others it moves directly
through the head. This shifting of
the eyes position is accompanied by
a change in the position of the body,
which ceases to be upright and be-
comes more and more oblique. The
side of the body from which the eye
is moving gradually becomes infer
Tor to the other. until by the time
the change of the eye is complete the
fish swims with its blind side under
meath, and this position is ever after
maintained. The founder then
ceases its free swimming habit and
sinks to the bottom.
Some species of founders are right
sided and others are left sided. In
the right sided forms the left eye
moves to the right side and the left
side becomes undermost. In the left
sided species the opposite conditions
prevail. 1t rarely happens that right
side species have left sided individ-
uals, and vice versa. In few spe-
cies both right sided and left sided
fish occur in about equal numbers.
