BUSINESS WOMAN SUICIDES.
Miss Helen Daezner Shoots Herself In
Telephone Booth.

New York, March 18.-Miss Helen
DaeZner, who conducted a school of
instruction in embroidery and other
fine needle work in Brooklyn, tonight
shot herself to death in a telephone
booth after summoning an acquain-
lance to care for her body. The report
of a revolver and the dying groans of
the suicide carried over the wire to
the man who had answered her call,
but before he could reach the address
given. the woman was dead. Across
a writing pad which rested on shelf
in the telephone booth had been writ
ten: Somebody will come to identify
me. Excuse me for making all this
trouble"
Miss Daezner was a handsome wom-
an of 80 years and had a profitable
business here. She made her home
with her mother and a brother. The
mother said that her daughter had
been married a year ago and three
months after the wedding had separat-
ed from her husband. She had fire.
uuently complained of severe head
aches of late and only on the ground
of i'll health could she account for the
suicide.
Early in the evening Miss DaeZner
entered a telephone booth at Reid
avenue drug store and called up an
other drug store, located but two doors
from her own home in Halsey street.
At the latter store she was known as
q customer.
She inquired for the proprietor and
learning that he was out earnestly ask
ed the clerk with whom she talked to
hurry to the address she gave him.
Then, before the connection was brok-
en-, she fired a bullet into her right
temple and slipped grooming to the
floor.
From the corsage of the dead wom-
an was taken this note:
MY Dear Mother: Forgive me for
what l am doing for l have been sick
long time. Am going to a long rest.
This is slight thanks for all your
trouble and care. l am unable to bear
this second disappointment
Your daughter Helen"

Indianapolis, Ind. March 1S.-The
national convention of the United Milne
Workers of America this afternoon,
changed the place of it's next meeting
from st. Louis to Indianapolis and re-

The scale committee recommended
yearly settlements with the operators
by districts, the minimum demand be-
ing the present wage scale and condi-
tons in each district. Local differ
ences are to be settled by the district
conferences. For nearly a week the
committee was divided on the PROPOSE
ton to allow the miners to sign scale
by districts, or if no district agreement
could be reached to sign with opera
tors individually. Another proposition
was to make one more effort to re-
habiitate the interstate agreement
Until this afternoon the committee was
divided by a vote of IS to and the
agreement reached was a compromise
1t is expected that the report of the
committee will be argued at length on
the floor of the convention.

COLLECTION NOW COMPLETE.
Diocese Of Acqi Presents Pope Plus x
With Rare Coin.

Rome, March 1S-The Pope today
received the members of the Sacred
College, who greeted him on the occa-
sion of his Name day.
The Pontiff told the cardinals how
a certain gold coin had been given to
him as jubilee gift by the diocese of
Acqi. This coin was discovered in 1898
while excavations were being made for
the foundation of a new church at
Acqi.
1t was found to be the only coin in
existence of the period of Innocent TX,
a Pope who reigned for two months in
1891. The diocese of Acqi was unable
to pay the architect who had drawn
the plans for the new church, so it
gave him the coin with the under
standing that if he sold it for over
$1,000, the amount of his bill, the sur
plus should be returned to the diocese.
The architect accepted the gift but
he was unable to find a purchaser at
the amount of his claim. He offered
the coin to King Victor Emmanuel, but
His Majesty would not give more than
$500. Later the clergy of the diocese
collected the $1,000, bought the coin
from the architect, and presented it
to the Pope.
This coin was the only one lacking
to make complete the Vatican collec-
ton of coins issued under all the Popes.

TO LEAVE COUNTRY.
Haytien Refugees At ConsuIates Viii
Be Sent Away.

Paris, March 1S.-Official advices re-
ceived here from Hayti indicate that
the arrival at Port Au Prince of for
eign warships has produced the de-
sired effect upon President Nord
Alexis. NJ. Carteron the French min
lister, cables that the government has
abandoned its intranSigeant attitude,
that the -embarkment of the refugees
has been authorized and that safe con-
ducts have been granted for the de-
parture of General Firmin and the
other revolutionary agitators who had
taken asylum at the legations and con-
sulates at Port Au Prince and
Gonaives.
NJ. CarterOn gives much credit for
this improved state of affairs to the
active Intervention of M. Bormo. the
minister of state, who was the first
to counsel this course of action. All
danger of an attack on the legations
or cOnsuates is now considered at an
end.
The report that the diplomatic rep
resentatives at Port Au Prince have
presented an ultimatum to President
Alexis involving his resignation is de-
clared here to be without foundation
The French government fully approves
the course of action followed by NJ
CarterOn.

REPORT NoNSENSIcAL.
Germany Has No Idea of Going to War
With Hayti.

Berlin. March 1S.-The Associated
Press is authorized to state that the
German foreign office is fully in accord
with the viewpoint of the United States
regarding the situation in Hayti as set
forth by Secretary Root. There never
was any intention on the part of Ger
many to intervene in the internal af-
fairs of the Haytien republic. 1t is
the firm resolve, however, of Germany
to protect her subjects trading in Hay
ii and she will insist also upon the in
volatility of her legation and consular
buildings. No complications in the
Haytien situation are foreseen here.
The report that Germany might pos
sibly declare war upon Hayti is stig-
matized here as nonsensical. The most
recent advices represent the situation
at Port Au Prince was much calmer
since the arrival of foreign warships.
The German cruiser Bremen will re-
main until quiet has been completely
restored.

AT Berlin to Dead Rev.
o|utionists Of 184S.
An Immense Crowd Visit and
Decorate the Graves.
Mass Meetings and Parade...Ths
Crowds Well Handled.

Berlin March 1S.-Tne people of the
East Side paid silent tribute today H.
the memory of the revolutionists who
were killed in the street fighting in this
city in 1S48. An imposing crowd of
sympathers gathered at the graves u
the dead men in Friedrichshain park,
which is now the center of the East
Side district, and heaped them high
with flowers. The police had taken
ample precautions to prevent any out
break, but there was no disorder.
From an early hour this morning the
police occupied the streets adjacent to
the park and they marshaled the
thrOngs which in columns of fours
filed slowly past the monument erected
to the memory of the revolutiOnistS.
Nearly every person in the procession
wore something red. The police erected
wooden barriers in front of some of the
driveways to better control the crowd
but they had no difficulty in keeping
order
Thirty-siX mass meetings. under the
auspices Of the Socialists, We're held in
Berlin and it's suburbs this afternoon and
all passed off in an orderly manner.
The principal thoroughfares were pa
trolled by armed picket men in pairs.
The heavy fall of snow which later
turned into rain helped to maintain order.
Towards the close of the day a huge
crowd gathered at the Halle Gate and
marched up Frederick street, singing the
workingmen's 'Marseillaise'' and other
Socialstic songs and shouting '.Hurrah
for universal suffrage" The crowd tried
to reach Inter Den Linden, but on ap-
preaching within a block observed thick
Gordon of mounted police occupying the
street ahead and turned into side street
hoping to reach their objective point by
another route. They found all the cross
streets held by the police and made a
wide detour toward the castle, eventually
reaching the Reichstbank. The officer of
police commanding one of the approach
es to the castle gave an order TO charge
the crowd, which made no active resist
ancc. Every body apparently was I'm
armed. The police drew their sabres and
forced the marching crowd to retreat.
The streets are perfectly quiet tonight.

LABOR LEADERS MEET
To Discuss Effect Of Recent Injunc'
tions on Labor Interests.

Washington. March 1S.--A conference
Hof far-reaching Importance to labor be-
gan here today. Participating were
President Gompers. and the members
of the executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, together with
the executive officers of the Interna-
tional Trades Unions of American, who
met pursuant to a call issued by Mr..
Gompers to consider the consequences
of the recent injunction decisions OF
the supreme court of the United States
affecting labor organizations with that
court substantially held that labor Or
carnations were to be considered trusts
as much as organizations of capital.
After calling attention to the signif-
icance of these decisions, Mr.. GomperS
stated that the conference was for the
purpose of taking such an action as
the Importance and merits of the sub
ject dealt with may be considered and
determined as setting forth the posi-
ton and demands of labor THE courts
rulings, he said, were binding upon all
labor organizations until changed Or
modified by congressional action.
The object of the conference, there
lOlC was ~ CoiioiuCA thS PAopOoCb
amendments to the Sherman antitrust
act, which are being drafted with a
view not of exempting labor organiza-
tions from their obligations to the pub
lie, but rather to prevent any injustice
being done through the operation Of
law to organizations of laboring men,
particularly through injunction.
1t is desired to so frame the pro-
posed changes in the Sherman law as to
meet the requirements of the supreme
courts decision. The proposed amend
ments are the result of recent confer
ences at the White House between
President Roosevelt and others and it
is hoped to secure remedial legislation
along these lines at this session of
Congress.
President Compers today stated that
matters of Importance to every union
man would be discussed and an effort
made to formulate plans to Offset the
rulings of the various courts regarding
injunctions and bOycottS.
There are II national and interna-
tional trade unions in America and
practically all of them We're represent
ed by one or more delegates at today's
meeting. The conference which was
held behind closed doors, will con-
tinue several Gays.
