YOUNG MAN KILLS

Suspected of Diamond Theft,
Young Clerk Shoots Two
Bullets Into Breast.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Juno 15.--Almost
on the eve of his marriage to Miss
Margaret Coyle, prominent young
woman, Robert Brown, well known
young man, and clerk In the Sergent
shoe store, committed suicide today.
Whether Brown killed himself through
fea:' of exposure of the theft of two
diamonds valued at $3.50, or merely be-
cause OF sensitiveness arising from tho
suspicion to which he was subjected.

time but Scarr secuted the idea that no
had taken the stones. and would not
permit an investigation with Brown as
the suspected person. Recently, how
ever, it became known to Scarf that
Brown was wearing large diamond.
and that he had given Miss Coyle an
other valuable stone. Scars father.
who gave him the diamonds, came here
from Cumberland, Ia, to aid In the in
vestigation.
Brown was called to the police sta
ton. He was asked about the stones
he had and said that they were given
him by his mother Brown consented
to go TO his room and ge. the one stone
there and bring 1t to the station for
examination, the chief and Scarf to.
await his return. After waiting an
hour investigation revealed that Brown
had gone TO his room and had fired
two shots into his breast. He was dead
when found.
Browns parents live at Grand Island
Neb. His father is quite prominent and
is said to be wealthy. The dead young
man was 20 yenrs old. b. NJ. Sargent,
Browns employer, says he believes that
Brown was guiltless and that his senst-
,ivcness drove him to the act.
A note that had evidently been scrib-
b!ed hurriedly was found in Browns
room. 1t read:

MCFARLAND MADE
CONSUL AT LARGE
BY the PRESIDENT
Rise of Former Iowa Editor
Has Been Rapid Now Has
Europe for His Field.

Marshalltown. Ia. June 1.-THE APP
pontment of S. G. Mcfarland, former
ly editor OF the Times Republican OF
this city, and one of the best known
republican editors OF the state. to be
consul general at large for the Euro
pean station, is considered in govern
mental circles as the most significant
voluntarily in the history OF the con-
sular service.
There are only four such Offices in
the United States service. and that Mr..
Mcfarland was chosen is a recognition
of his value to the consular service.
One OF these districts comprises North
America. including Mexico and tho
Rermudas: another eastern Asia in
Guiding the Straits settlements. Aus
tralia. Oceanica and the Islands OF the
Pacific; and q third South and Cen
trail America. the West Indies and Gu
racao. MIR. McFarland's district will
include all of Europe with the excep-
tion OF European Russia, the Balkan
states and Greece-the most important
and ranking post in the American con-
sular service. with supervision over
the consulate generals and consulates
of the Civilized old world. including
London, Paris. Vienna. Berlin and ali
of the other chief capitals OF Europe
excepting st. Petersburg.
While the salary that is attached to
this position Is only $4,000, $500 more
thar MIR. Mcfarland received as con-
sui general at St. Gall, Switzerland,
and $1,000 more than he got as con-
sui. all travelling and subsistence ex
penses are included. and 1t is pre-
sumed by the department To be equiva-
lent to the higher salaries paid to a
few officers stationed permanently at
important posts. where certain neces-
sary expenditures more than equalize
the differences.
1t might be added that since Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt's administration tho
American consular service has been
with the aid OF congress placed upon a
purely merit basis. 1t now offers q
permanent career to young mon quail
fed by education and knowledge OF
languages. but can only be entered
through very severe civil service ex-
animation, successful candidates fol-
lowing a course assigned at Washing
ton. and being assigned to the smaller
posts. Further advancement depends
upon the character of their service, but
is sure to follow Il good record. AS
signments from the waiting list are
also made, so far as possible, to secure
an equitable distribution between the
different states OF the union.
MIR Mcfarland has now been i'm the
consular service nine years. His first
appointment was to Nottingham, Eng
land. He was then transferred to
Reichenberg, Austria. and year ago
was promoted to be a consul general at
st. Call Switzerland. Robert j.. Mans
field, of Lucernc. Switzerland, succeeds
Mr. Mcfarland ut ST. Call.

That the brewers commercial interests
