CLEARS HIS CONSCIENCE
Man Who Swore Falsely Years Ago
Makes Confession.

New York, March "a tall, enact
ated man, walked into the office of the
United States commissioner, Shields.
and explained that he had come all
the way from West Berkeley, Cal, to
clear his conscience before his death,
which he knew must not be far off. 1t
soon appeared that he swore falsely,
years ago, to obtain citizenship papers.
He was John Nelson. and a Norwegian
by birth he said. He 1881 he went be-
fore the commissioner and on the ad
vice of a friend, swore that he came
to this country when less than Is
years of age, which was untrue, so as
to be able to obtain full papers at
once. The papers were granted him
but he had not voted upon them in
long time. Doctors lately told him he
had not long to live, and he resolved
to confess to Commissioner Shields
rather than die a perjured man. Com
missioner Shields clerks verified Mel
sons statements by the records and
commissioner accepted the return of
the mans papers. Nelson then said
that he was ready to be arrested on a
charge of perjury but Commissioner
Shields explained that the statute of
had made him free. Nell
son expressed to the commissioner his
profound relief that he had cleared
his conscience.

day, when Frank James, right end of the

with the Lake Forest university team at
Lake Forest, Ill. The fracture is said to
be a severe one and James will be out of
the game the remainder of the sason.
He is in a hospital at Lake Forest but
will probably be brought home the latter
part of the week. James has been one of
the best athletes ut Carroll, having won
honors us II sprintcr, hurdler and basket
ball player. Lake Forest won the game
by score of II to 5. 1t was Il gruelling
contest, every player on the Carroll team

which they say cost them the game, a
touchdown by Orgeman being disallowed
by the referee. Last year Lake Forest
beat Carroll "A to 0.

SUICIDE IN A PARK.
Charles c. Gray of Oakland, Cal, Ends
His Life i'll Milwaukee
Sunday.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. T.
The body of Charles 9. Gray, aged
10, son of Roscoe 5. Gray, wealthy
resident of Oakland, Cal, and cousin
of James ]. Gray of Chicago, was found
in Washington park Sunday morning by
children who were playing.
A bullet hole in the temple and Il
revolver clasped in his hand told the
story of the sudden ending of his life.
Letters found in the pockets of his coat
gave clues us to his identity and hint
as to the motive for the act. The
young man has been wanderer since
the San Francisco earthquake through
which he passed and which evidently
had given him nervous disease. One
of the letters states that San Francisco
land Oakland got ON his nerves. and
that when he left there he went to Port
land Ore, then TO Butte, Mont, and
from there to Minneapolis and st. Paul.
He went to Chicago, and his cousin, j.
j. Gray, who has missed him since
Thursday was on the point of notifying
the police of his disappearance when
word reached him of the young mans
death.
Chicago relatives declare that there
was no motive for suicide and believe
that he was either murdered or killed by
accident. j. j. Gray came to Milwau-
kee today to call for the body which
had been removed to the morgue.
