Baltimore, Dec, 5--Mrs. Clara Blood good, the actress committed suicide by shooting in her room at the Hotel Staff ford here this evening.
 Mrs Bloodgood had just feturned from a trip to the South where she starred in The Truth" She was a member of an old family of New York.
 Mrs. Bloodgood's body was found ly- ing on the bed with bullet hole through the roof of her mouth. Near by lay a book entitled, How to Shoot Straight" and a 3s-calibre revolver with three chambers empty.
 She attended matinee performance at Albaugh's Theatre this afternoon and returned to her hotel about o'clock. seemingly in the best of spirits.
 Later when 1t was time for the cur tain to rise for her own show at the Academy of Music where she was ap- bearing in The Truth" she had not put in an appearance. Word was sent to the Stafford. and a ball boy was sent up to her room. Just as he ap- preached the door he heard pistol shot. Hurrying back to the office he notified the clerks of what he had heard. An investigation was made and Mrs. Bloodgood was found stretched on the bed as described.
 Before retiring to her room she had talk with her stage manager. John Emerson. who declared that he ob- served nothing unusual in her demean- or. The only motive he can ascribe is that Mrs. Bloodgood feared an attack of nervous prostration. She had been working very hard. he said. and she feared & break down. Mrs. BIoodgood left a note addressed to her husband who is said to be on his way to this city.
 The audience at the Academy of Music was dismissed with the an- nouncement that there would be no performance owing to a sudden indis- position of Mrs. Bloodgood.
 Bernard Wess. the bell boy who was sent to Mrs. looGgood's room by the manager of the Academy of Music. found no difficulty in opening the outer door of the suite. but the inner door, at which he knocked without receiving a reply. resisted his efforts to open 1t. He persisted, however, and finally man.

AwnltIns Presldent.s Orderr.

Washington. Dec. 5.-Expllcit direc- tions to that effect are awaited from the President before any orders will be given by the War Department to move troops to Goldheld. New. where there is fear of disturbance because of the miners strike.
 Directions to have troops held in readiness to proceed to Goldfeld were issued promptly yesterday on receipt of orders from the President. and if they are needed will be on hand at the scene In a very short time.
 Opinion at the War Department is that if recourse must be had to the militia arm of the National Govern ment to maintain order. that infantry only will be needed. as the work to be done will be largely of a police char acter, such as keeping peace at the mines and the preventing of riotous assemblages.

GoIdfieId In QuIef.

Goldfeld, Nev., Dec. 5.-The news that Governor Sparks had called upon the Government to have troops ready for use in Goldfield on moments notice to restore order, was heard in this community today with amazement.
 On the surface, Goldfeld is as quiet as on a holiday. It was not supposed that the strike situation had reached such an acute stage as to require such a reputation. Very little talk Is heard on the street and no agitation what ever. The people generally accept the move as meaning that the mine oper- ators are preparing to open up with non-union miners. If this is under taken, the general opinion Is that there will be serious trouble.
 Neither side is giving out any in formation. their plans being guarded with the utmost secrecy.
