REFUSES TO GO TO ASYLUM
Miss Calhoun, of Augusta, Ga,
Shoots Herself.
Bullet Pierces a Tin Picture Of the
Man She Loved Placed Over Her
Breast-Declared Insane. :.

Augusta, Ga.--Rather than go to
an insane asylum, where her relatives
sought to send her, Miss Ida Calhoun,
eighteen years old, a niece of the
Rev. C. M. Wilkinson, prominent
Baptist clergyman of this city, fred a
bullet into her breast. The mortal
shot was fired just as lunacy COM
mission. which had been appointed to
decide the question of the girls san
ity, came to the conclusion that she
should be committed to DR.. Nc
Naughton's Sahatorium.
The girl killed herself under Pc
culiar circumstances. She escaped
the vigilance of her nurse, who had.
been engaged to watch her, andi
rushing to the West View Cemeterye
she stood on theog grave of her mother.
Then she took the photograph Of the
man with whom she was in love from
the folds of her skirt, and, placing
the picture against her breast, fired
bullet through it and died instantly.
Miss Calhoun was member of one
of the most prominent families in
this part Of the State. She inherited
more than 100000 from her mother,
and she lived most of the time with
her uncle. The death of the mother,
however, seemed to have affected the
girls mind. She became melancholy
and her relatives asserted also that
she was suffering from hallucina-
tions. They. suggested to her that
she go to a quiet retreat where she
would receive medical attention, but
Miss Calhoun refused.
When it became apparent to the
relatives that the girls condition was
becoming worse, they applied for a
lunacy commission, which was ap-
pointed. The girl resented the ap-
pointment of the, commission, and
refused to appear before the COM
missioners. The men who were ap-
pointed to determine Miss Calhoun's
mental condition resolved to have a
talk with her and they went to her
house. Miss Calhoun was compelled
to dress and appear before the COM
/. missioners, who questioned her about
an hour. She was told that she could
retire, but instead of going to bed,
the girl slipped out of the house and
went to the cemetery.
Not knowing that the girl had
died, the commissioners considered
the evidence they had taken and
finally concluded that Miss Calhoun
was insane and that she should be
2 sent to an asylum. One Of the girls
relatives went up to Miss Calhoun's
room after the commissioners left the
house. but found that she had gone.
The house was searched in vain.
The police were informed of Miss Cal
houn's escape and a search was made.
No trace of her was obtained until
one of the caretakers in the cemetery
sent word to the police that girl
had committed suicide on a grave.
1t was found that Miss Calhoun had
killed herself on the grave Of her
mother.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-American

than American population during
the last decade. Completed figures
for the fiscal year 1906, just pre-
sented by the Bureau of Statistics
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, show that, while the popula-
tion has grown since 1896 only

ffty-seven per cent. and exports lO9
per cent.
Glasses Of imports which show the
greatest gains are manufactures and
manufacturers materials. Manufac-
lures imported show an increase OF
forty-two per cent. and manufacture
ers' materials imported show an in
crease of ninety-five per cent
Agricultural products exported
show an increase during the decade
of seventyper cent. and manufactures
an increase of 1853 per cent. This in
crease has occurred in the trade with
all of the grand divisions Of the
world, but is especially marked in
the trade with Asia and Oceania.
Imports from Europe show an in
crease of fifty per cent, those from
North America eighty per cent, from
South America thirty per cent, from
Asia and Oceania eighty per cent.
and from Africa thirteen per cent.
Exports to Europe show an increase
of seventy-eight per cent, to North
America an increase of 164 per cent,
to South America 107 per cent, to
Asia and Oceania 232 per cent. and
to Africa forty-one per cent.
Actual gains in the decade are, in
imports, $447,000,000, and in ex-
ports, 1851, 1,000,000; in manufac-
lures imported, s61,0O0,000; in
manufacturers materials imported,
$2S8, 8,0O0,000; in agricultural prod
ucts exported, s400,000,000, and in
manufactures exported, $374,OO0.-
900.
In the trade by grand divisions the
actual increase in imports from Eu-
rope is $214,000,000 and in exports
thereto. S527,000,000.
In the trade with North America
the increase in imports is $10S,0OO,-
900 and in exports s192,000,0OO.
In the trade with South America
the increase in imports is $32,O0O,-
900 and in exports s39,000,O00.
In the trade with Asia and Oceania
the increase in imports is S92,000,-
900 and in exports s9S,00O,000.
In the trade with Africa the in
crease in imports is S1,500,00O and
in exports less than $6,000,000.

JUSTICE BREWERS INTERVIEW
He Says Bryan and Taft Will Be Can
didatcs For Presidency.

st. Louis.-Associate Justice David
J. Brewer Of the United States Su-
preme Court reaffirmed his belief that
Secretary Taft will be the next Re-
publican and William J. Bryan the
next Democratic candidate for Pres
ident. incidentally, Justice Brewer
paid high compliment to the virtues
of both men.
Il believe Mr.. Bryan is honest and
sincere" he said, ''and that he pos
sesses many other qualities which
should endear him to the American
people. Bryan and Roosevelt have
many qualities in common. Both are
earnest and fearless and both have
the interests of the people and of
their country very much at heart.
They both stand very close to the peo-
pie for these reasons.
sMr Taft also is splendidly equip
ped for the race. While aggressive,
he is somewhat conservative on pub
lie questions. He is not SO impul-
sive or decisive as the President,
whom he strongly resembles in some
other ways. AS Chief Executive of
the Nation he would have less fric-
ton than does Roosevelt. Both of
them do things, but Taft does them
in a slightly different manner"
