KILLS HIMSELF

Timothy Brennan, of Orange,

powerless to deter him. Timothy Bren-
nan, jr., of "a Liberty street, Orange,
drank a fatal draft OF the poison early
today in his mothers bedroom and died
o after In the Orange Memorial Hos
pital.
Brennan seemed cool and deliberate as
he entered his mothers room. He told
her that he wanted to die; that he
could not stand the disgrace Of his
fathers arrest. She never dreamed that
he intended to carry out he threat,
and when she finally saw that he was
serious she rushed from her he'd. 1t
was too late. The young man had
drunk the acid, and was writing in
agony when the ambulance surgeon,
who was summoned a short time later
by the police, arrived.
The elder Brennan. who is serving a
sentence In the Caldwell p~enitentiary.
will be released today through tho
pleadings of his wife, and will be al
lowed to see his son for whose death he
is responsible. Brennan was to have
remained in the p~enitentiary until
March 4.
1t was this disgrace that ilnpelled
young Brennan TO commit the rash act.
He had often spoken of the shame that
he felt. and while the others of the
household had struggled m~anfully to
suppress their feelings, he often COM
planned bitterly of his lot.
His father was sent to the peniten-
tiary because of his persistent neglect
of his family. He figured in proceed
ings against the United Hatters of
North America recently. Brennan
senior was a halter, and started a law
suit against the national organization.
After that proceeding he grew careless,
finally landing in the penitentiary.
The young man was still alive when

moned by Policeman Thomas Riley.

made every effort to save his life, but
their efforts were futile.

GREAT INFLUX OF
BUYERSATPRESENT
IN NEW YORK
Secretary OF Merchants Asso-
citation in Interview Says
Trade Best in Ten Years.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-More tllaa
5000 buyers and business mon from
all over the country are now in New
York with orders for goods of every
variety for the spring and summer
trade. The great influx was expected
by the jobbing houses to be evidence
of tho return of confidence through
out the country. The general financial
depression last fall and the consequent
small amount of buying at that time
has left merchants throughout the
country short in their stocks, and for
that reason the buyers are coming to
New York earlier than usual. Every
hotel that caters 10 the commercial
trade is crowded and merchants arc in
a joyous mood.
:. c. Mead, tho secretary Of the MGR
chants Association, said last night:
Monday was what VIC call our first
registration for the spring trade, and
it proved to be next to the largest reg
istration day NC have experienced IN
ten years. That is to say, there was
only one other first day like it in ten
years, so you can imagine what joy 1t
brought TO the business men about
town. Today, Is a second registration
day, is the largest second registration
day we ever had. By that l mean in
UNDERGRADUATES of out-of-town buy
ers and out-of-town merchants. Today
they kept pouring in and telling us Of
the bright outlook for the spring trade.
They had to come, as their stocks had
run low.
"Sonle of the big Western houses
they had. and this means a great era
of prosperity. 1t means that at least
5000 out-of-town merchants and their
representatives will buy goods here for
the spring trade. Now the most ex-
pcrienced merchant in town will tell
you that the average amount spent by
each buyer is $4,000. This practically
means hat with the ordinary trade
$780, 900, 600 will be spent in New York
by the buyers for the spring trade.
THE most peculiar thing about this
year, as shown by the arrivals yester-
day and today, is that many new bust
ness concerns have cropped up in the
West and have sent representatives
here to buy. l should say that at least
25 per cent. of the arrivals are rep
resentatives of new business houses.
They represent the biggest houses of
the West, and from Chicago to Okla-
homa they declare that business is
good"
