tween Mrs. Russell Sage and himself
concerning the transaction whereby
Mrs. Sage presents to the govern

posite West Point.
Mrs. Sage's letter of presentation.

Mrs. Sage's letter is as follows:
'Sir: take pleasure in rendering
as a gift to the United States from
myself and Miss Anna Bartlett War
ner Constitution Island, opposite
West Point.
my attention has been called by
several of the professors of West
Point to the Importance of adding
this island to West Point and the
unsuccessful efforts of various West
Point administrations and secretaries
of war to secure the necessary ap-
preparation to purchase 1t.
''It is historically connected with
West Point. During the Revolu~
ary War 1t was part of the defenst
of West Point"
Mrs. Sage says the island has been

KILLED IN SUICIDE PACT.
Woman Failed to Keep Promise tor
Kill DIR. Rustin.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 9.-The coro-
ner's inquest into the death of DR..
Frederick III. Rustin, who was found
fatally shot at the door of his home,
in this city, developed several sensa-
tions yesterday.
Mrs. Abbie Rice, the woman who
was last known to be in DR.. Rustin's
company on the night of his death,
declared that DR.. Rustin had been
talking of committing suicide, but
that he wished to disguise the faeA
SO as to protect his life insurance
the benefit OF his family.
After much opportunity he induc-
ed her to promise to kill him and
then take her own life. Arrange
ments to this end were made for
Friday night, AugustN 2S, but her
nerve failed.
Another Man Chosen.
On Tuesday night following, DR..
Rustin pointed out to her on the
street car a man who he said had
promised to do the deed and had
said it would be done that night.
Later she identified Charles e.
Davis, a clerk in a local bank and a
member of prominent family, as
the man referred to by DR.. Rustin.
Davis was placed on the stand and
testified that he attempted to commit
suicide on the night in question by
taking drugs furnished him by DR..
Rustin, but denied that he promised
to kill the doctor, or that he had
anything to do with the latter's
death. He said the drugs takeA
made him sick and he vomited, thus
saving his life. He gave no special
reason for wishing to end his life,
except that he had no desire to live.
He said he had made previous at
tempts at suicide.
Davis has not been arrested.
DR.. r. w. Lavender, the coroner's
physician who made the post mortem
examination, described how the ball
had passed straight through the alb
domen and liver and lodged near the
spine. He produced the bullet which
he removed from DR.. Rustin's body.
Two witnesses who saw DR.. Rus
tin at midnight a block from his
home were called and testified to
that fact. One Of them, a special
watchman, had stepped into the Rus
tin yard on his regular duties about
l O'Clock, but saw no person.
Who Fired Shot
Dr. Langfeld, the first physician to
reach the Rustin home after the
shooting, said Mrs. Rustin telephon-
ed him and he ran to the Rustin
home only partly clad. He found
DR.. Rustin lying on some cushions.
The witness said DR.. Rustin asked in
sarcastic way:
You are not afraid of shot?"
Witness searched the dying man,
but found no pistol on him, only
some money and watch. DR..
Langfeld told the coroner's jury he
did not believe the wound was self
inflicted.
Mrs. Rustin was called. She was
we'll composed, but spoke seriously
throughout her examination, which
lasted for over an hour. Her dead
husbands mother attended her. Mrs.
Rustin went through the ordeal with
out apparent emotion and told
straightforward story.

These testimonials to the
changed tone of Mr.. Bryans utter
ances refer to his recent address at
Des Moines on the subject Of the
tariff. In this, as in his speech OF
acceptance, the moderation and dig
nifty Of which were first commended
by The World, Mr.. Bryan has done
much to convince the country that
he has outgrown some Of the errors
Of youth and inexperience.
A political leader who has seri-
GUS message to convey to his coun-
trymen adds weight to his words and
gives strength to his cause by cloth
ing his thoughts in the language Of
soberness and wisdom. Mr.. Bryan's
powtr as an agitator is admitted.
He makes creditable beginning
this year in a much higher role.
