"GOoD-BYE, OLD GIRL"
With These Words on His Lips Actor
Suicides on Stage.


Washington, March 14.-William
Thomas of Saginaw, Mich, a member
of the chorus of the wonderland"
company, performing at the Columbia
theater here, committed suicide Tues
day night by drinking carbolic acid
while the play was in progress.
Thomas was an aGmirer of Ida Gordon,
a siXteen-year-old girl, also a member
of the company, and who is said to
live in New York. The suicide was
caused by disappointment because she
would not reciprocate his attentions.
After the SHOW was over she went to
tie hospital to which Thomas had been
removed and on seeing his body said:
II did not know he thought so much
of me. 4 did not mean to break his
heart. lie misjudged me-"
Thomas was twenty-five years old
The couple were in the property room
of the theater at S:45 Tuesday night
Thomas sat with goblet in one hand
and bottle in the other. Pouring out
the poison he accused her of playing
with his affections and saying: Good
bye, old girl" drank the poison before
she could stop him. The play con-
tinued uninterruptedly, the audience
not being aware of what had trans
pired.

New Orleans Sugar at Pittsburg.

There arrived last week at Pittsburg,
Pa, two model barges laden with retin-
ed sugar from New Orleans the first in
a quarter of century to come thus by
water, according to the Pittsburg Dis
patch, which says:
"Pittsburg as distributing point for
Southern freight now looms up with
possibilities only depending on the inn
provement of the streams. Conserva-
tive river men predict that the next
year will see Pittsburg's prestige as a
water port advanced wonderfully. Not
only sugar will come by water, but
many other products, such as cotton,
tobacco, cottonseed meal, hemp and
molasses. Cheap freight charges are
the principal inducements attracting
Southern products to Pittsburg. The
two barges which came in yesterday
had departed from Pittsburg some
weeks ago, and belong to the Monopga-
hela River Consolidated Coal & Coke
Co. More barges of the same company
are now en- route similarly laden. In
recent years Southern trade has fallen
off largely because of lack of water in
the channels. Boats would frequently
come up the Ohio as far as the Merrill
dam, below, Rochester,, where they
would have to tie up, but now, due to
the recent improvements, when boats
get as far as Merrill they can navigate
the rest of the way to Pittsburg."
The Dispatch quotes Capt. James A
Henderson as follows:
The rivers are coming into, their own
again. Pittsburg's facilities are already
great for the handling of freight by wa
ter, and soon will be greatly increased
and there is no reason why Pittsbure
should not be distributing point fol
Height from the South, not. only from
New Orleans, but from all the point,
on the Mississippi river. When the
new Southside terminal warehouses are
completed her advantages will be in
creased, as the boats can be unloadeC
and without delay their cargoes can be
put on board cars for shipment any
where in the country. -Manufacturers

Is Not Closed.

Washington, February 27.-Repres-
tative Morris Sheppard. of Texas; who
introduced the original resolution for
an investigation of the circumstances
surrounding the election of Mrs. Minor
Morris from the White House offices
and grounds, made statement concern
ing the matter today.
"For once" said he, al cannot accept
the recent statement of the president
through his secretary in reference to
the expulsion of Mrs. Morris. The
charge that Mrs. Morris was guilty of
disorderly conduct is, TO those who
know her. absolutely incrediable. She
is as intelligent, cultured, modest and
refined a lady as ever entered the White
House Offices.
again. the statement that no more
force was used than was necessary for
her expulsion is to those cognizant of
the circumstances equally incrediabe.
The door from which she was elected
is about sixty feet from the western ex-
it of the grounds. She was dragged to
the eastern exit, which is 700 feet
from the door, thus being dragged
over 600 feet or nearly one-eighth Of a
mile further than necessary, even if her
conduct had been as reprehensible as
has been charged.
"Many seem to think that Mrs. Nor
ris en- tered the residence portion of the
White House. This is entirely errone.
GUS. She went into the business office
of the president which is an extension
of the White House devoted entirely tc
the public business, where the presi
dent meets hundreds of people daily in
the transaction of the public business
"In my opinion, citizens of the Unit.
ed States who have business with the

young men in the naval academy are

tive Offices"
