New York, May 11.-Charles L.
Spier shot himself to death at his home
in New Brighton when he found him
self hopelessly involved as the result
of Wall street speculation. This is the
conclusion to which the very latest de-
velopments lead. -.
Months ago spsr rel 9 5 upon h hn
capacity as H. H. Rogers confidential
man, began specializing heavily in

to- be a rich man. A salary Of $4,000
i year did not satisfy him.

thought it was going to 200. He bought
Anaconda at 26O. With the money he
expected to win he meant to finance a
promising traction seheme4in Westches.

Yesterday, when it seemed certain
that Spier had committed suicide, Mr.
Rogers began personal investigation

securities which did not belong to hin
to make good his losses, and that Their
were suspicious circumstances which
might show the way to even large

DALNY OPEN TO THE WORLD.
Free Port in Manchuria Can Buy
Many American Products.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Dalny was
opened to the trade of the world on
September 1 without any ceremony
whatever. according to report made
to the State Department by John Ed
ward Jones, the American Consul.
Mr. Jones says that many Japanese
cargoes have arrived. At present no
business houses are available, but Mr..
Jones says a number of Japanese
firms have obtained permission to re-
pair buildings which were damaged in
the late war and merchants Of other
nations can obtain the same right.
Haste is necessary, however, the Con
sui says.
AS the Manchurians regard whea'
as their staple crop. Mr.. Jones says
it is likely that the Sungari Valley will
be entirely devoted to wheat ne
year. and in consequence, there will
be demand for farming machinery.
Cotton goods are also in demand.
Some American cotton fabrics already
have been received, but Japan is work
ing hard for the trade. The Chinese
want dyed cloths ready to make up,
and are especially fond of light and
dark blue colors. Food is scarce and
and it is almost impossible
to get labor
