ONE IN THE GRAVE So FAR
Suicide Pact of Aged Inmates of
Home" at Chicago, Which
Became BANKRUPT.

Chicago, March pa suicide pact
involving probably a dozen inmates of
Bethesda home for the aged is believed
to have been revealed by the death of
John Koch, who died yesterday by HI
own hand after ridiculing John Hazel
bach, who failed in an attempt at self
destruction.
The supposed motive is bankruptcy
of the home, private institution, into
which many Of the old folks, friendless
and alone in the world, had placed
their savings of life time, expecting
to be cared for till death AS a result
of the bankruptcy, the aged inmates
are face to face with restitution. Mrs
Mary Mann, matron of the home. is
convinced that'a poison bottle" was
passed by Koch to someone else in the
compact, whose identity may be dis
closed only by another case of suicide
Mrs. Emma Bausch, one of the SUPER
visors of the home, predicts a number
of additional suicides, although she
has dissuaded three that had avowed
such a purpose Koch, who was S.
years of age, paid $500 to the home
Others of the twenty-One inmates paid
into the institution as high as s.. 900
each.
Some of the most wretched and help
less of the old people at the home"
have been taken away and provided
for by the Little Sisters of the Poor.

Cost Comparatively Low.

Admiral Melville testified that the
probable cost of the manufacture of a
Holland boat was between $4,000 and
$4,000. This statement was made in
1901 when the Holland was fifty-four
feet long. and it was proposed TO in
crease this length to eighty feet. These
new boats, said Admiral Melville,
would also have q greater storage bat
terry and would naturally cost more
money, probably as much as $50, 600
Admiral BOwles explained that the
department had estimated s125, 900 per
boat as proper appropriation on ac-
count of the probable cost of conduct
ing experiments to satisfy the depart
ment of the efficiency of the boats be-
fore acceptance.
In note accompanying these quota
tons. Mr.. Lilley says:
''At the time Rear Admiral Bowles
made the foregoing statements he was
chief of the bureau of construction and
repairs OF the navy department. and
necessarily had much to DO with the
of craft of this charac-
tea"

HugI Profits Shown.

Continuing, Mr.. Lilley says: There
fore, basing calculations upon the fig
ures of Admiral BOwles, which he says
would give a handsome profit to the
builders of the Holland bOats-namely.
$50, 459 for ELTON boat, or $745.45 per
tOn-it will readily be seen by compar-
alive statements that there has been
an extra handsome profit of $1.5I9, rs
since the United States contracted for
the first Holland boat, the Plunger. in
March. 1899: and il will be seen that
the excessive profits to be made on the
eight boats which it is now proposed
to buy from the Electric Boat company
would be 81, All, 500.
Il submit a comparative statement
of the bids submitted by the Electric
Boat company and the Lake Torpedo
Boat company for the construction Of
submarines on April 80. 1907. from
which it appears the submarines to be
constructed by the Electric Boat COM
pany are to cost on an average about
$500 per ton more than the prices Of
fered by the Lake Torpedo Boat COM
pany, under guarantees required by the
navy department and subjected to the
performance prescribed prior to ac-
ceptance. By this statement it will
also be seen that the lowest price of
the Lake Torpedo Boat company is
$500 per ton, which approaches very
closely 10 the price given by Admiral
ROVlas
