REMoRsE LED TO SUICIDE.
Yale Mans Tragic Course After Ar
rest for Forgery.

TOPSFIELD, Mass, June 3.-Arrested on
a charge of forgery by officials Of a Salem
hank, James S. Garvin, a graduate of the
Yale class of 1902, who had his name legally
changed to E. Davis Brooks, and who was
principal of the high school here, killed
himself by taking cyanide Of posassium.
The young man was the adopted son of
B. B. Knowles, wealthy and prominent
citizen of South Montville, Me. Garvin was
twenty-eight years old and of attractive
appearance. His weakness appears to have
been excessive desire to be popular with
the school boys in his charge. To raise
money to entertain these boys he specialized
in the stock market with loss. Two auto
mobiles he had bought and sold. and finally
reached his ambition with big touring
car. 1t was to settle for this car that he
went Saturday to the Mercantile National
Bank of Salem. At the bank he asked cash
for check apparently signed by I. NJ.
Woodbury., well-known butcher here. The
Salem cashier suspected the signature be-
fore honoring it and secretly telephOned to
Mr.. Woodbury.. The butcher repudated the
check, whereupon the police were sent for.
To prevent publicity, however, the bank
officials and Salem authorities finally &C
guessed to the forger's plea that they ac
cept the automobile guarantee for his
appearance for hearing in court.
He was allowed to depart upon these
terms At Beverly he obtained poison.
and was later found dead on Clarks Hill,
between Beverly and Newburyport.
For two OF his pupils Garvin possessed
an almost morbid infatuation, and with
bicycles, sleds, various small gifts, tickets
to base ball games in Boston, automobile
excursions and theater parties he sought TO
ingratiate himself with the small boys.
Following his death 1t has become known
that he forged notes with the names of
at least five prominent local tradesmen.
These notes. varying from $500 to $500
EACH he made out Friday afternoon. All
except the Woodbury. note. by which his
crime was detected, he gave to the Draper
Garage Company of Beverly On Friday, IN
payment for 1850 REQ touring car.
In Topsfield he was held in the highest
esteem. In addition to his responsible
school position he was organist at the Con-
gregational Church. To townspeop!e he
explained his extravagances by saying that
a wealthy aunt had recently beQCeat hcd
him large amount of money.

He Slaves and Goes in Pursuit.

EGG HARBOR, N. j., June 3.-Mrs.
kaditch, wife of Jopann Kaditch, superin-
tendent of large estate here. left here I'M
expectedy yesterday. So did one of the
farm hepers-Mike Kellish-and there is
missing 81, 600 of the savings of the wom-
ans husband
Mrs. Kaditch, who is thirty-four years old
and rather pretty, told her husband that
she was going to town to make some pur-
chases. When, after some hours, she did
not return her husband went to find her.
In his absence the farmland hitched up
one OF the horses, and, after meeting Mrs.
Kaditch, drove to Hammonton, several
miles from here, where they took a train
for Pittsburg.
When Kaditch returned home he discov-
cred that his helper had also disappeared,
and, suspecting the worst FASTENED to the
bureau where he kept his money. He
found it al gone. He came here and noti-
fed the police of his loss, saying that all
he wanted was his money, not his wife.
Then he went to a BARRIERS shop and hav-
ing had his beard removed to avoid recog-
nition took the next train for Pittsburg in
pursuit of the couple.
He had asked the helper to leave the
place Saturday.

FAKE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.
Gov. Stokes Signs Bill to Eliminate
Them in Jersey.

TRENTON, June Unemployment agen-
cies kept for immoral purposes, under
cover of doing a legitimate business, Will
be driven out of business in New Jersey
by the signing late Saturday night by Gov.
Stokes of the Hendrckson bill requiring
the licensing of employment agencies from
the mayor or head Of municipalities. The
responsibility for employment agencies Is
put up to the chief official, and his license
carries with it official Endorsement of the
responsibility of the keepers of these
agencies.
The new law is intended to meet the bad
situation in Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark
and Camden. Mr.. Hendrickson, the father
of the measure, said that many New Jer-
sey employment agencies were simply
cloaks for panderers in vice, whence girls
were sent to addresses to take situations,
only to find themselves entrapped.
Now the applicant for license to keep
an employment agency must furnish aft1-
davits showing the applicant to be of good
moral character and responsible financially.
The names of all licensees are to be posted
in the office of the clerk Of the munich
pality
The new law regulates employment
agency fees. is quite severe on the giving
of wrong information, fake advertising OF
situations etc. The agencies are to be
subject to periodical inspection.

Prophecy PROVED GOOD so FAR.
spangler Says World Will End in
Nineteen Months.

YORK, Pa, June 3.-Lee L. Spangler,
who has styled himself for number of
years as 1.-The Last of the Prophets" has
issued another of his remarkable bulletins.
This time he is more specific in his state
ments. He now asserts that the world will
come to an end in nineteen months. He
warns all the people to beware and look
out for the dissolution of the world.
He says there will be no more seasons,
that summer and winter will be as one,
and there will not be any way of telling
one from the other. Snow in July need
not be a surprise, and sleigh-riding is likely
to be one Of the summer pastimes. He
adds:
There will be more black spots to occur
on the suns disk, and by the latter part
of 1908 the sun will be entirely black. The
earthquakes will shake all the principal
cities of the nations. Great excursion
wrecks will occur, and there will be great
distress in the land until the end shall
come"
