gone abroad recently In the hope OF re-
cooperating, 1t was no. great surprise t.
his friends to learn that he had sue
cumbed.
Subsequent investigation, however, and
according to the captain, developed EVIL
dence that Mr.. Wilcox had shot himself.
In reporting the facts to DIR. Doty, the
captain said that he had only n few
moments before been made aware of
the real cause Of death. DR.. Doty said
that he would make an investigation to-
morrow.
Mr.. Wilcox, broken in health, sailed

he sought he cabed his resignation OF
the presidency OF the railroad, which
was accepted by the directors, who chose
his successor in Leonor F. Loree, for
