SUICIDES IN VERMONT
Fifty. one Have Been Recorded During Past
Year In the State.

Vermont newspapers during the year
1906 recorded the suicide OF 81 resi-
dents OF the state, beside 40 unsuccess-
full attempts, says the st Adams Mes
senger. OF course these figures cannot
be presumed to be the maximum be-
cause from the very nature OF the cir
cumstance In each case family and
friends make great efforts TO have the
suicidal aspect OF the affair kept In the

not wholly suppressed.

standing the constantly increasing eI'
forts and facilities OF the press to re
port the facts as they are, there were
suicides that we're never reported To the
newspapers as such, but figured IN the

from natural causes, while nobody
can even conjecture the number OF at

RELIEF SHIPS MAY BE
RECALLED WITH CARGOES

New York, Jan 20.--The gathering
of supplies here for the kingston
earthquake sufferers by the New York
Kingston relief committee 1t is expect
ed Will be discontinued for the time
being at least on account of the re-
fusal of Governor Swettenham of ia
malca to accept aid from American
war vessels. II is quite probable that
the supplies now ON the way to Kings
ton on the steamers Allegheny and
Prinz Joachim will never reach the
port. Both steamers have been or
dered to call at Port Antonio and
there await further instructions.
A special meeting of the relief COM
mittee will be held tomorrow when the
situation Will be discussed.
Several days ago the relief com
mittee cabled Governor Swettenhani
asking him the nature of acceptable
relief and where supplies could be
landed safely and to advantage To
these inquiries no reply was received
The committee. however. did hear
from the colonial office in London
through which one OF the eablegrams
was sent to Governor swettenham
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1907-01-22

and the tone Of the message was such
as to lead the committee tn believe
that its efforts were justified
That the governor had not person
ally replied was believed to be due to
the confusion Of affairs in Kingston
In the light Of tOday's news a mes
sage from Governor Swettenham is not
expected and Il Is possible that the
committee will tomorrow decide to re-
call the shipments made and return tC
contributors such funds and other
gifts as have been received.
The committee has gone about its
work with circumspection. II first
cabled Governor Swettenham as above
stated, sending duplicate messages
One was sent direct to the governor. a
second in care Of the British consulate
in Havana and a third through the
colonial office at London The receipt
Of the cablegram by the colonial Of
flee was acknowledge by Lord Elgin
colonial secretary, who cabled the
committee that its message to the gov
ernor of jamaica would be promptly
forwarded. In his message the secre-
tary expressed cordial appreciation of
and thanks for the preferred aid.
Up to this time the committee had
hesitated TO perfect its plans, bearing
in mind that the United States had Of
ficially declined foreign assistance for
San Francisco at the time of the
earthquake there, and holding ii pos
sible that the British might take a
similar view regarding outside aid for
its colony. The receipt of the colonial
secretary's cable however, appeared
to dispose of this possible objection,
and the committee, believing the gov
ernOr's failure of response to inadver-
tance or unavoidable delay, concluded
arrangements for two shipments.
