CHILD AIDS FATHER TO DIE.
Unconsciously Assists Paralytic to
End His Life with Gas.

DnconscfOusly ASSISTS Paralyf1c TO
End His Life with Gas.
Theodore Schmidt, who had been for
two years a helpless invalid in his home
at ISL East 13Sth street, the Bronx, New
York, wanted to end his life. He could
not do so unaided because Of the total
paralysis OF his muscles, so he called to
his aid his 6-year-old daughter, Violet.
While Mrs. Schmidt was away he asked
her to go to the kitchen and there she
would find a piece of rubber gas tube,
such as is used to supply gas to small
gas stoves. That and a piece of string
she was to bring into the sick mans room.
Violet found the tube and the string. Then
her father directed her how to fit one
end of the tube over the gas jet above his
head and there tie it securely. He had
her place the other end of the tube in
his mouth and bind it closely there with
a towel. 'As soon as you have done that
you turn on the gas and then run and
play" the invalid had said. Mrs. Schmidt
found her husband dead when she re-
turned

There is no money in the island. Not

refused to pay any earthquake claims,
and investors of all nations are giving
the island a wide berth. This stand
of the insurance companies has result

quake and fire, made desperate by their
failure to collect insurance indemnities,
fired their buildings that they might be

to make a claim for fire damages not

Business Moving Too Fast.

Chairman Gary of the United States
Steel Corporation, before sailing for Eu-
rope, gave it as his opinion that there
would be a falling off in the volume of
business during the second half of this
year. One factor in this condition, he
said, was the approach of the next presi-
Dental campaign, which always had the
effect of curtailing orders. Another point,
he said, was that people had been doing
too much business for the amount of
money available, and that railroads had
found some difficulty in securing neces-
sary capital. The increase in the volume
of money in the world had not kept pace
with the increase in the volume of bust.
ness. He had seen signs, also, of a de-
crease in the amount of building activity,
and he thought that the numerous inves.
legations and exposures and radical agi-
tation of the last year or two had had a
tendency to make investors timid. II
violent agitation should continue there
would be more and more money drawn
out of productive employment. Neverthe-
less. Judge Gary believed that the ex-
posure of inancia corruption would prove
beneficial in. the end. A contraction in
business would not be wholly undesirable,
he concluded, as the country has been
going at too high speed, factories running
overtime that they might fill their orders.
