HEALTH AND REASON BROilfN
TRAGEDY OCCURS WHILE HIS
FRIENDS WERE TRYING TO
ADJUST HIS AFFAIRS.

New York, Nov. 16.-CnarieS Tracy
Barney, the deposed president of the
fKnickerbocker Trust company and un-
til recently a power in the financial
world, shot and killed himself yester-
day in his home. His loans with the
bank, it is said, are amply secured,
and when he was forced from its pres
ldency he was, to all intents and pur-
poses eliminated as factor In banking
circles. What i'll effects his unexpect-
ed taking off might have had on the
financial situation generally had long
since been discounted. In distress of
mind over the dissipation Of his pri-
yate fortune and the loss of high
standing among business associates,
tntimates acquaintances find the hid
den drift that broke his health and
reason
Wealth Might Have Been Saved.
And even much of his personal
wealth might have been saved. At the

successful, would at least. rescue from
the wreckage sufficient to insure the
promoters future standing financially.
The conference broke up at the an
nouncement that Mr.. Barney was
dead.
Shot Self While Alone.
Mr.. Barney, who was in his fifty,
seventh year, shot himself while alone
In his chamber The death was re.
ported to the coroner little after 8
o'clock.
From the confusing stories due to
the excitement Of the hour, 1t was de.
termined that Mr.. Barney deliberately
shot himself while alone and soon aft
er rising. AS the bullet entered his
body he fell unconscious upon the bed.
The report of the revolver startled
the family. Mrs. Meade, a guest, was
the first to reach the chamber, and
she summoned the physicians. DR..
Dixon responded and also called other
physicians. Mr.. Barney was revived,
and to DR.. Dixon, for twenty years his
family physician, said: Il
Says It Was an Accident.
Doctor, this is an accident
In reporting this to the coroner DR..
Dixon added: with this / coincide
Ether was administered and efforts
were made to remove the bullet, but
they were not successful. During pc.
