EDISON PREVENTS
SUICIDE OF WOMAN
wizards" Private Secretary Kills
Himself, and Wife Tries to Throw
Herself from Window to
End Life
B,. Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WEST ORANGE N j., Feb. H.
John F. Randolph, treasurer of the
Edison Manufacturing company, OF
which Thomas A. Edison is president,
committed suicide in the cellar of his
residence on New Valley way today
by shooting himself in the head.
1t is believed Randolph was tenn
porarily insane. as neither in his busi-
ness nor his family affairs was there
any known cause for the act. This
belief was given further credence by
the knowledge that near relative be-
came mentally unbalanced a few years
ago.
Alphonse Westee, secretary of the
Edison Manufacturing company, said
today that Randolph's accounts were
absolutely straight. Mr. Randolph was
private secretary to Thomas A. Edison
and Mr.. Edison was one of the first
to reach his house after his death was
known.
That Mrs. Randolph did not follow
her husband to death was due to the
prompt and determined action of Mr.
Edison. When he reached the house
Mrs. Randolph was hysterical, wiring
ing her hands and crying out that she
would kill herself, too Mr.. Edison
followed Mrs. Randolph to the second
floor and came upon her as she was
about to throw herself from a window.
He seized the frenzied woman. and
after a hard struggle succeeded In
pulling her back to a place of safety.
Several letters left by Mr.. Randolph
showed the suicide to have been de-
liberately planned. In one, which was
addressed to Mrs. Randolph, he as
sured her that provision had been
made whereby all his property would
go to her. The letter declared that
every dollar of which he was pos,
sessed had been gained honestly and
by hard work. Among other letters
was one for Mr.. Edison and one for
Mrs. Edison. The contents OF these
letters was not made public.

GREAT BRITAIN PLANNING
POWERFUL FIGHTING CRAFT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 17.-In view of the
threatening attitude of that section OF
the Radical party which advocated re-
duction in armament there had been
much speculation as to whether the
government will persist in the deter
mination reached on the advice OF the
lords of the admiralty to submit In
creased naval estimates to parliament.
Those In position to know say they
will, and, backed by strong pubic
opinion, will be able to carry them
through without difficulty. What these
estimates provide for in the way OF
new construction is another question
that has been much discussed
A naval officer who, while not admit
ting the possession of any inside IN
formation is very well informed, gives
this as the probable program;
Three armored vessels on the I'M
proved Dreadnaught type: ships that
will embody many changes devised
after the thorough trials which the
first or this class has passed; two
cruisers, improvements on the old Ed
gar class, $500 tons, with a great radius
of action, enabling them to remain at
sea for long periods when engaged. ap-
parent surprises for torpedo craft or
as scouts or dispatch boats; at least
twelve torpedo craft. the majority OF
I1em OF J06 Cldcct tWO "a
the Tartar and Ghurka, recently ran
their trials with much success. There
also will be provision for additional
submarines, but of these the admiralty
maintains the greatest secrecy.
This is not looked upon as a COM
plete answer to Germany's program.
That, naval men say. will come next
year, even the critics of the policy or
the admiralty admitting that the start
England has secured will enable her
to maintain the two-power standard
without rushing work during the COM
ing fiscal year Besides, the delay OF
twelve months will allow her to learn
something of what other powers are
doing and then ''go them one better"
either by outbuilding them or design
ing a ship that will be a great improve
ment on those now being constructed.
Germany's refusal to agree at The
Hague to proposals to prohibit the
placing of floating mines has caused
activity in still another direction.
Heretofore this country has had but
two mine laying vessels. Since The
Hague conference adjourned work has
been begun on the conversion of three
second class cruisers for this purpose.

DEBTS OF DOMINICAN s.
REPUBLIC ARE SETTLED
Creditors Agree to Take Bonds In
Sufficient Sum to Cover Amount
Owed-Reduction of
Claims
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE settle
ment of the debts of the Dominican re-
public is rapidly nearing completion
which is regarded as satisfactory to
both debtor and creditors and which
reflects favorably on the agents of the
United States government who have
been instrumental in carrying out the
basis of settlement.
The recent financial disturbance is
given as the cause for the abandon
inent of the plan first agreed upon
whereby a New York banking firm was
to purchase the bonds of the republic
in sufficient amount to satisfy the
creditors
In place of this plan the creditors
themselves have now agreed to take
these bonds as payment of 80 per cent
OF the payment of their claims, while
the remaining 20 per cent is to be paid
in cash from the $4,00000O which has
been accumulated. being 55 per cent Of
the customs receipts of the republic,
and now on deposit In New York.
Besides this judgment the creditors
OF the republic have consented to a
reduction OF their claims to an amount
approximating SO per cent This re-
duces the total indebtedness from $780,
100000 to SIT, 100000.

MILLIONS 7OBE SPENT
BY CAR COMPANY
tcontinned from pare one,

company hesitated to enter a legal
battle with his lawyers.
1t was then decided to resort to
other means, and with this end in view
the officials planned to open Playa del
Rey and turn it into a place of amuse-
ment which would leave Venice far in
the shade.
For more than two years they have
been laying plans and at last have
things In readiness to begin work. 1t
Is said within another year the little
resort, which has for so long lain
dead. will blossom forth with new mod
ern buildings, well paved streets, wide
lawns and beautiful thoroughfares, and
that nothing which Is not the best will
be contracted for.
A man who has for several years
been in charge of political work for the
street railway is said to have been
selected as the one to take charge of
the operations, and he is thought to
have his work well in hand now.
Reach Agreement
improvements on the other lines of
the Los Angeles-Pacific will also be
rushed and the Hill street tunnel, on
which men have been working for
months. will be hurried to completion.
This tunnel will aid the railway COM
pany in cutting down the time between
this city and Hollywood from thirty
to twenty minutes and will give them
a much shorter distance to run.
The subway between Los Angeles and
Venice has been widely discussed in
railway and business circles for sew
eral years.
The cost of all these improvements
will run into several million dollars,
but street railway officials say they
will soon be repaid by increased re-
ceipts and a better system.

ACH MAKES
HARD FIGHT
FOR RUEF
MAY CARRY IMMUNITY PLEA
TO HIGHEST COURT
Judge LawIor Hears Arguments Rec
aard,ns Rights Of Former Boss
10 Attack the lndlct-
rffents
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17.--Inlnun-
ity contracts. their legal status. the
right of the district attorney to prom
ise immunity and the charges of
broken faith made by both sides, were
subjects of arguments today before
Superior Judge Lawlor, which occu-
pied the time of the court the entire
day.
Assistant District Attorney John
O'Gara opposed the motion of Henry
Ach. leading counsel for Abraham
Ruef, to vacate the arraignment of the
defendant that he might be able to at
tack the indictments upon which ne
is to be tried, by demurrers and mo-
fions to set aside, and talked until 4
o'clock. when Ach commenced his re-
ply. At o'clock court adjourned un-
I'll 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, when
Ach will resume his argument.
The point made by O'Gara was TO
the effect that immunity contracts
have no standing in court under the
laws of this state; that a defendant
cannot plead promised immunity 10
prevent trial. and that the granting or
immunity is with the court and with
the state executive, and not within the
power of the district attorney.
Accuses Ruef
O'Gara also contended that ltuef mas
not acted in good faith and therefore
the district attorney had the right 10
withdraw from the agreement.
Ach not only gave notice that II
Judge LawIor's ruling on the motion
was adverse 10 the defendant, the mat
ter would be tested in the court OF
last resort. but announced that not only
would another attempt be mace py
him personally to get an affidavit from
Judge Dunno, but that Judge Lawlor;

Immunity, but demanded the prosecu-
fion show he had not kept the agree
ment. He characterized the metnoos
used by the prosecution toward Ruef
as worse than the use of thumb
