New Haven Coroner Believes Suicide
Theory Solution of Mystery.

Theory Solution of Mystery.
Coorner Eli Mix has announced that
the result of his investigation of the
death of Charles A. Edwards in New
Haven, Conn, indicated that Edwards
committed suicide. The coroner said that
the investigation had not been concluded,
but that all surveillance over Allan
MaXcy Hitler had been withdrawn. Here
are the main facts which the coroner
sets forth as leading to the belief that
Edwards killed himself: The finding OF
morphine in the body; the finding of
bottle of laudanum in the back yard,
together with a revolver. of which two
chambers were empty; the finding OF
blood stains outside the rear dining room
door and leading up the back stairway
to the landing in the front hall. The de-
duction is made that the coroner has con-
WINGED himself that Edwards went into
the back yard, drank poison, shot himself
and then went up to his room, where he
died.

@1s2S23S@0SS2iS.5


The Senate Monday gave attention to
the Panama canal, the situation in San
TO Domingo and the merchant marine
shipping bill. The canal matter came
up in connection with n message from
the President transmitting the annual
reports of the isthmian canal commission
and the Panama Railroad Company,
which We're referred to the committee on
lnteroceanic canals. The Dominican dis
cusslon arose on Mr.. Tillman's resolution
making inquiry of the President concern
ing the status of affairs in the island
republic. Mr.. Gallinger opened the de-
bate on the merchant marine shipping
bill. Legislation for the District of Co
lnmbIa had the right of way under the
rules in the House and the few bills on
the calendar from the District committee
were disposed of. Mr. Sullivan of Mas
sachusetts then spoke strongly for tariff
revision from the Democratic standpoint,
the Philippine tariff bill being up for
discussion.
The Senate Tuesday adopted two res
buttons of inquiry. One authorizes an
investigation by the committee on inter
oceanic canals into the general conduct
OF Panama canal affairs and the other
an inquiry by the finance committee into
the question of the exchange rate on
money on the isthmus The remainder
of the open session was devoted to a
speech by Mr.. Morgan on the railroad
rate question, his bill being referred to
the committee on interstate commerce.
At 1:3O p. m. the Senate went into ex
+n FOL Nv -
resolution calling on the President for
information regarding the attitude of the
United States ( eminent on the Mo-
roccan question. The Philippine tariff
bill was the single topic of consideration
in the House, The speeches were uni
formly against the measure and in gen.
eral allowed to go without answer.
The Senate Wednesday disposed of
considerable business, about eighty bills
being passed. leaving only six or seven
on the calendar. Most of the measures
grant private pensions or authorize the
construction of bridges. One favorably
acted on appropriated 100000 for the
marking of the graves of Confederate
soldiers who died in northern prisons dur
ing the Civil War. Then attention was
given to the question of Panama canal
salaries, for pure food measure and the
merchant marine bill but without taking
action on them. The Senators fought
shy of the Moroccan controversy, and
when the resolution dealing with the sub
ject was reached on the calendar an ex-
ecutive session was taken to avoid dis
cussion. Consideration of the Philippine
tariff bill was continued in the House,
Mr.. DaIzell PaD speaking for it and
Mr.. Keifer Ohio leading the opposition.
The incident of the election from the
White House offices of Mrs. Minor Nor
ris was brought up by Mr.. Sheppard

Nay, but they will now spend on an average s50 a year in the dram-sh0p, and therefore have but S250 year to spend with the trader, and his Shrinks from Slj, GOO to sl2, ,500.
