TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
Edward Green Becomes Morbid Follow
ing Charge of Crime.

Feeling the disgrace caused by his arrest
upon a charge Of having committed a
felonious assault and fearing a sentence
to the penitentiary, Edward Green, colored.
thirty-four years old, prisoner In the
District Jail. committed suicide in his cell
yesterday afternoon by hanging Life had
been extinct only a short time when his
body was found. Charles Chase, a tiersman
was passing through the corridor In front
of cell 90 when he noticed the form of
Green suspended from peg in the wall
that is used by prisoners for the purpose
of hanging their clothing
Chase gave an alarm and In a few
seconds the body was cut down and the jail
officials and guards notified. The physician
found that life was extinct, and the re-
mains We're removed from the cell to an
other part of the building and cared for
until Coroner hewitt had made an investi-
cation of the case and given the necessary
death certificate.
At the time of Green's arrest he pro-
tested his innocence and seemed greatly
disturbed in mind. 1t was the first time he
had ever been arrested and he felt keenIy
the disgrace. While in Jail awaiting trial
he never uttered word which would have
indicated an intention to end his life and
the Jail officials and prisoners were sur
prised when they learned of the suicide
Green had used two Observation-Disclosures
as moose and the other looped through
the moose and tied to the peg. So low
was the peg inserted in the wall that Green
found it necessary to hold his feet from
the floor while he slowly strangled to death.
The work Of self-destruction required but
short time on the part OF the victim and
was accomplished just after enc of the
guards had made his regular rounds
through the corridor.
Green selected a time when there were
no prisoners exercising in the corridor and
when 1t was impossible for anybody to
have seen him between the time he tied the
knot and that of his death, Undertaken
Stewart Campbell removed the body to the
late home of the deceased, S17 I'd street
southwest. from where his funeral will take
place at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning The
interment will be at Harmony cemetery.

THE IRON TRADE.
Steel Rail Orders Add to the LARGE
Tonnage

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 29.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says: Orders for
steel rails continue to add larger tonnages
than do those for any other kind of finished
material, although the demand for struc-
tural shapes and for plates is strong The
principal orders for rails from steam rail-
roads and electric lines are as follows:
Vanderbilt system, 25.000 tons: Wabash,
5000; Toledo and Chicag go Iuterurban, $500;
Long Island, 2 500; Chicago, Milwaukee ard
St Paul 800; trolley lines in Cleveland dis
trict, 5000; trolley lines in the east 10000.
There is keen interest concerning steel
bars. Most of the large buyers make the
contracts which expire July 1 at so per
ton Pittsburg. while some who came into
the market later contracted at SIS still
others at 500 The present price is $50.
Buyers have been holding off. refusing to
make contracts. and have intimated that
SIS would be satisfactory price. The prin-
cpal manufacturers have. however, de-
clared that there will be no concession and
that $50 will be the price.
Buyers endeavoring to have old con-
tracts extended, but sellers have positively
refused to make any extension of contracts
at $26. Some extensions of contracts at
higher prices may be granted, but the prin-
cipal producer has not yet made even this
concession and is not yet ready to announce
what it will do.
Pig iron has touched lower prices on both
bessemer and basic, which are now selling
at Sl1 valley furnace IhlS price was ma ue
on sale of 1,000 tons. 1t also has leaked
out that about three weeks ago a sale of
malleable was made. the iron to be shipped
from the valley to Detroit, at the very
low price of $3.50, furnace. Southern iron
is now selling freely at S11.J0, and ii is ru-
mored that $l1.25 has been named.
The conference of representatives Of the
Amalgamated Association and the Ameri-
can Sheet and Tin Plate Company is now
in progress. The employees are apparently
of the opinion that the company IS anxious
for an excuse to sever all relations, and
the prospect is that on account of that
opinion the demands of the company will
be complied with.

Cotton Prices Advanced.

The New York cotton market was ex-

approximately 80 points in the various

to an advance of $3.50 bale over Tuesday

advance OF 80 points in Tuesdays session
and previous advance in the last two or

Mans First Duty to Himself.

So much for the undergraduates. Now
for the alumni the men who are at work
out in the great world. OF course the mans
first duty is to himself and to those imme-
diately dependent upon him. Unless he can
pull his own weight he must be content to
remain a passenger all his life But we
have a right to expect that the men who
come out of Harvard will do something
more than merely pull their own weight.
We have right to expect that they will
count as positive forces for the betterment
of their fellow countrymen; and they can
thus count only if they combine the power
of devotion to a lofty ideal with practical
common sense in striving to realize this
ideal.
This nation never stood in greater need
than now of having among its leaders men
of lofty ideals. which they try to live up
to- and not merely to talk of. We need men
with these ideals in public life and we need
them just much in business and in such
a profession the law. We can by statute
establish only those exceedingly rough lines
of morality the overpassing of which means
that the man is in jeopardy of the constable
or the sheriff
The very rich man who conducts his bust
ness as If he believed that he were law
unto himself thereby immensely increases
the difficulty of the task of upholding
order when the disorder is a menace to
men of property; for If the community feels
that rich men disregard the law where it
affects themselves, then the community is
apt to assume the dangerous and unWhole-
some attitude of condoninS crimes of vio-
lence committed against the interests which
in the popular mind these rich men repre-
sent.
There can be nothing worse for the COM
munity than to have the men who profess
lofty ideals show themselves foolish so
narrow, SO impractcable. to cut them
selves off from communion with the men
who actually able to do the work of
governing, the work of business, the work
of the professions. 1t is sad and evil
thing if the men with moral sense group
themselves as impractical zealots, while
the men of action gradually grow to discard

graduate opinion come to scorn such man
as one guilty of base and dishonorable &C
ton, who has no place in the regard or

1t is bad thing for any college man to
grow to regard sport as the serious bust
ness of life. 1t is bad thing to permit
sensationalism and hysteria to shape the
development of our sports And finally II
is a much worse thing to permit college
sport to become in any shape or way faint
ed by professionalism. or by so much as
the slightest suspicion of money-making;
and this is especially true If the profess
sionalism is furtive, If the boy or man
violates the spirit of the rule while striv-
ing to keep within the letter.
But l think our effort should be to mini
miZe rather than to increase that kind OF
love of athletics which manifests itself, not
in joining in the athletic sports, but in
crowding by tens of thousands to see other
people indulge in them. 1t is a far better
thing for our colleges to have the average
student interested in some form of athletics
than to have them all gather in a mass
to see other people do their athletics for

Much Given to Some Men.

Much has been given to these men and we
nave a right to demand much of them in
return Every man of great wealth who
runs his business with cynical contempt for
those prohibitions of the law which by hired
cunning he can escape or evade is a men,
ace to our community; and the community
is not to be excused If it does not develop
spirit which actively frowns on and DIS
countenances him.
The great profession of the law should be
that whose members ought to take the
lead in the creation of just such a spirit.
We all know that, IS things actually are,
many OF the most influential and most gh-
ly remunerated members of the bar in
every center of wealth make it their special
task TO work out bold and ingenious
schemes by which their very wealthy
clients. individual or corporate. can evade
the laws which are made to regulate in the
interest of the public the use of great
wealth.
Surely Harvard has the right to expect
from her sons a high standard of applied
morality, whether their paths lead them
into public life, into business. or into the
great profession of the law. whose mem
bers are so potent IN shaping the growth
of the national soul.

DEATH RATE is APPALLING.
Loss of Life Through Mine Accidents
in Lackawanna County, Pa, Shows
Remarkable Increase.

Scranton, Pa, Feb. 27.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the production
of anthracite coal in Lackawanna
county was less last year than in the
preceding year, the loss of life in con-
nection with the industry increased in
a manner that was appalling.
In 1902 for each life lost in Lacka-
wanna county, when there were but
two inspectors there were 243,693 tons
mined. In 1903. when the number of
inspectors was doubled, this average
fell to 161 1898 tons and in 1904 the
average was further reduced to 147,-
934 tons for each life lost. The reports
for the past year show that there were
S4 fatalities from falling rock alone,
while in the preceding year, with
greater output, the fatalities from
these causes were Ga. The total lives
lost in the mines of Lackawanna
county in 1903 was 131, while in 1904
with it's decreased output there were
1877 lives lost.

back and the Russians made counter
attacks at many places. On the right
flank the Russians occupied the village
of Boatatzsi, which is close to Sandi-
apu, and from that position hurled
hand grenades across the intervening
ravine into the Japanese trenches in
Sandipau, causing heavy loss and
great disorder.
The Russians have seized the head
of the bridge across the Shakhe river
in the center of the Japanese lines, as
sisted by artillery firing of particular
energy from Putiloff Hill and Nov
gorod Hill.
