Ever since the bids for the bonds

BROKER A SUICIDE
Young Monmouth Commission
Man Found Short Takes
Life
AT LAKE CALUMET, CHICAGO
Tried to Carry Trades and Market Was
Adverse-Would Not Have Been
Prosecuted.

Chicago, July 25.-Fred S. Broberg,
a prominent young commission broker
of Monmouth, H., who disappeared
from there last Saturday on account of
$4,000 shortage in his accounts, COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself
through the head on Lake Calumet, a
half mile from the foot of One Hundred
and Sixth street. His body was found
in a boat yesterday morning.
WouId Not Prosecute.
The tragedy ended the life of young
business man who had 50 far won the
confidence and esteem of friends and
acquaintances in Monmouth that even
his victims had planned not to prose
cute him. Alderman Fletcher Smith
of Monmouth received a letter from
Broberg yesterday morning in which
he endeavored to explain d deal in
which Smith lost about $4,000. f. Z.
Wallace about $4,000, and others vari-
Gus smaller amounts ranging from $50
to $100. Broberg declared he would
make every effort to pay the money
back although he did not know how
it was TO be found. He suggested that
he would endeavor to find employment
and set apart a portion of his salary
regularly for this purpose. He said he
had endeavored TO carry trades him
self, but the market went against him.
Others Receive Letters.
Several other residents of Monmouth
also received communications from
Smith. Some were mailed from Chi
cago Monday morning at o'clock and
others were posted later. Alderman
Smith called at Broberg's Office in Mon
mouth last Saturday and made ar
rangements TO have the transactions
in which he was interested closed up.
Broberg then realized he could not
meet his obligations and quietly left
the city.
Removed Marks.
Broberg's body was found at 10
O'Clock by John and Raymond Stanley,
who discovered it while fishing. An
arm. a leg and one side of the body
were in the water. That he had care
fully laid plans for taking his own life
was evidenced by the fact that he had
destroyed numerous marks on his
clothing by which he might be identi-
fed. The name of tailoring firm in
Monmouth, however. had not been re-
moved from his coat and this aided in
establishing his identity. He wore a
gold nugget scarf pin set with dia-
mond. and $50 was found in his pock-
cts. The police communicated with
the authorities at Monmouth and later
received information that a brother OF
Broberg's lives at 5439 Lake avenue.

ceived from the emperor, with a view
to securing cooperation between the
different local authorities, 1 hereby in
form you that the government expects
you 10 exercise vigilant and untiring
that order may be promptly and def
nitely restored. Disturbances must be
suppressed and revolutionary move
ments must be put down by all legal
means The measures you take must
be carefully considered.
1.-The struggle begun is against the
enemies of society and not against So
ciety itself. Consequently, wholesale
repression cannot be approved of. I'm
prudent and illegal acts are likely TO
give rise to discomfort instead of con-
ducing to calm, and cannot be toler-
ated.
Pledges Reform.
'The government firmly desires to
assist in the amendment of the legal
proceedings and laws hitherto enforc-
ed which no longer serve their pur-
pose. The old regime will be regen
Grated, but order must be fully main
tanned
You must act on your own initia-
tive. as you are vested with response

on these lines will doubtless be upheld
by the best part of society
The manifesto bears remarkable sim
ilarity to earlier compositions of Min
listers of the Interior Plehve and Boul-
igin, and the reactionary press has had
slight difficulty in cutting it down, as
they already had done with yesterdays
imperial manifesto. into an appeal to
the League of Russian men" and 9th
er old school Russians to rise and smite
classes.
CensOrs Pervert News.
The strictest censorship over news
Of military disorders is maintained. AS
an example, the mutiny at Brestlitovsk,

from the fortress fired on the officers
club, killing two officers, has been
into fire destroying the
house of the officers club.
The ministry is obtaining slight aid
from the forces of society at large in
putting through it's policy. Shipoff and
Guchkoff and practically all others who
have been approached have refused
fatty to participate in the enlarged
cabinet proposed. OF members of the
late parliament only Prince Nikolai
LvOff of Saratov, who, though a con-
stitutional democrat, is personal
friend of Stolypin, is understood to
have given the plan favorable consid-
and it is said he probably will
accept ministry without a portfolio.
