Lafayette Trust Co. Of Brooklyn De-
cides to Go Into Liquidation.

New York, Nov. 30.-The Lafayette
Trust Co, a reorganization of the
Jenkins Trust Co. of Brooklyn. which
went down in the financial panic of q
year ago, did not open for business
today. Instead there appeared ,on the
doors of the bank a brief formal state
ment confirming an announcement
made last night to the effect that the
officers of the institution had decided tC
give up the struggle and permit the in
stitution to go into liquidation. 1t was
said that the instalment payments to
depositors in the jenkins Trust Co..
which were provided for by the re-
organization plan, had proved too se-
we're a drain on the resouces Of the
company and also that the new officers
had teen embarrassed in their efforts
to obtain new capital by members OF
the former management.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
Woman Admits Killing Man Vino
Proves Alive and Well.

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. 30.-A
strange case of confused identity has
just come to light in the discovery
that William Pa Simmons, colored,
whom Hattie Douglass. colored, has
admitted having shot, is now living in
New York and that his brother, Harry
P. Simmonds, was the man killed. AL
though William r. Simmons came to
New Bedford shortly after the shoot
ing of his brother by the Douglass wo-
man on Aug. 90, the mistake was not
noticed until now.
Throughout the several stages Of
prosecution the woman has always ad-
mitted having shot William p. Sim
mons, although saying that she did SO
without intent to commit murder. and
the brother came here and heard the
case recited to him, with his own name
used instead of that of Harry P. Sim
mons.
1t is not expected the mistake in the
names will have any bearing upon the
woman's trial other than to delay it
somewhat until the necessary correc-
tions are made in the indictments. The
next grand jury will sit here in Feb
ruary and a properN indictment will
probably be drawn against her at that
time.

Negro, Supposed Diplomat
And Army Officer
Involved In Shooting Affair at
The National Capital.
Negro Is In a Hospital and Ms In.
juries May Prove Fatal.

Washington, Nov 30.-The police OF
this city have a shooting mystery on
their hands, involving a Negro, a sup
posed diplomat and the alleged wife of
an army captain. At the Emergency
hospital, William Sykes, the Negro
and the man who was shot, lies in il
critical condition. while the other par
ties to the affair for the present at
least, have been able to conceal their
identity.
The shooting occurred Saturday
evening i'll fashionable section of
the city after the Negro had approach
be directed to a certain address. "A
short time afterward, according to the
story of clerk in the Portland apart
ment house overlooking Thomas Cir
Gle, near wnere the shooting took
place man and woman, apparently
greatly excited, passed quickly
through the lobby and left by another
door. The mans nose was bleeding
and the woman was heard to advise
him to nave it attended to whereupon
they started for a drug store on the
corner but changed theif minds and
disappeared.
The Negro adheres to his first story
that he simply asked to be directed to
an address he gave. 1t is stated that
should the Negro die the police would
be compelled to make canvass of all
the legations unless in the meantime
the identity Of the man becomes estab-

l.. T. Cooper, the man who claims
that stomach trouble is responsible for
most ill-health, is continuing to attract
crowds OF people.
Cooper is explaining his theory and
medicine to the public, and at present
he is the sensation of the day in New
York.
While giving his opinion of the cause
of so much sickness among the present
generation, in a recent interview,
Cooper said: "The amazing part of
modern life in this city. and every
other in America, is the rush and
hurry. No one seems to have enough
time. This very fact is responsible
for much ill-health. AS l have said
before. poor digestion is at the bottom
of all this tired, worn-out condition
which afRcts modern people, but
nothing is more necessary to keep the
digestive organs working properly
than exercise in the fresh air, ana
New Workers. have no time for this
"The daily life Of the average New
Yorker is about as follows: After
sleeping all night in room with a low
ceiling and poor ventilation, he dresses
i'm n rush. bolts his breakfast and runs
for a car. He rides downtown in this
car with the air foul from over-breath-
ing. and works until noon shut Zip
tight in some factory or office building.
At noon q hasty lunch and then back
for the rest of the day in the same
close quarters. When time to quit
comes he piles into car again,
damned in with others like him, and
spends thirty minutes in the sitting
atmosphere getting home. He stuffs
himself full of food, then goes to some
theatre with more street cars to get
him there, or he stays at home and
sits in an easy chair.

WHAT is HEM-ROlD?
A Tablet, Taken Internally, That Cures
Piles.

Piles (hemorrhoids) are getting more
comomn every day, because of the un-
natural way in which so many of us
live, overeating, overworking, taking
little healthful exercise, and driving
the brain at the expense of the body.
With Indigestion and constipation,
these causes bring about a congestion
of the veins in the lower bowel, a stag
nation of blood, a flabby condition of
the bowel walls, and finally those stub
born, painful, annoying little tumors
called piles.
AS the cause is inside, it is idle to
expect cure from ontments, SUPPOSE
tories, cutting, or other outward treat
ment.
Hem-Roid is an internal tablet med

Fly Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PITTSBURG. May 25.-Concerning
the report that Mrs Harry X. Thaw
will abandon the proceedings to annul
her marriage and attempt instead to
be appointed a trustees or committee
of her husbands estate, Frank Sem
pie, attorney and agent in fact for the
Thaw estate, said:
1T will take very fine rake for any
committee which may be appointed for
Harry K. Thaw to find any estate in
which he has an interest not provided
for by the terms of his fathers will.
II can hardly imagine the court will
appoint Mrs. Harry K. Thaw trustee
or committee of his estate, but if she or
anyone else is appointed they will find
that the executors and trustees under
the will of William Thaw have abso-
lutte control of all his interest in his
fathers estate.
Personally, know nothing about
his personal affairs except that he will
make explicit just how the interest
of Harry X. Thaw shall be held and
distributed. Certainly no order of
court appointing a committee or trus-
tee of his estate in the event he is
finally declared insane could avoid or
change the terms of the will of his
father. That will stands, no matter
what order any court might make"

TWO LITERARY CAREERS

Woman Artist and Poet browns Her.
self at Zion City, and Chicago
Author Blows His
Brains Out


CHICAGO, May ga young woman
artist and poet and a man who had
reputation as a writer of verses, cont
mitted suicide yesterday. The girl was
Florence Ferrin. whose body was found
in Zion City, where she had lived. The
man was DIR. Howard II. Lancaster, a
Chicago dentist. He ended his life with
a pistol.
The body of the girl, who was only
20 years old, was found lying face
downward in a shallow pool of water.
The water was barely deep enough to
cover her face, and those who enter
tain the idea that the girl committed
suicide by drowning say that II she did
she must have held her head under
water until she drowned.
Berney Ferrin, sister of Florence, is
the Zion City girl who went to New
York to intercede with Governor
Hughes on behalf of Chester Gillette,
the murderer of Grace Brown.
Excusing himself from a party of
friends who had gathered at a dinner
in honor of his return from southern
trip. DIR. Lancaster, the poet-artist,
went to his room in his house and shot
himself in the left temple, dying almost
instantly. DR.. Lancaster was a poet OF
some ability. With his professional
duties and his literary work the bur-
den proved too great, and a year ago
his health failed perceptibly. A month
ago he went to Alabama to recuperate.
He returned home Saturday showing
little Improvement.
