WORRY KILLS 4
PROMINENT MAN
Suicide of EIlWo0d T. HanCe,
Detroit Trust Company
Official.
COMPANY NOT INVOLVED
HIS OWN FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN
BAD SHAPE.
COMPANY NOT INVOLVED

Detroit, Mich, March 6-Ellwood T.
Hance, first vice president of the
Union Trust company of this city, and
former postmaster of Detroit. shot and
killed himself early today in his home
here. Friends say that he had been
greatly depressed over his own finan-
cial affairs. His health has not been
good for some time, and this is thought
to have aggravated the worry.
: MIR. Hance was born in Wilmington,
Del, fifty-six years ago, and came to
Detroit in 1878. He was admitted TO
the bar, and in 1889 was appointed
postmaster. SWhen the Union Trust
company was organized he was made
secretary, and later vice president.
Trust Company Not Involved.
President F. w. Blair of the Union
Trust company, and Henry Russell,
one of the directors and the companys
legal counsel, deny emphatically that
the affairs of the Union Trust com
pany are in any way involved by any
of Mr.. Hance's financial difficulties.
They also deny that the affairs of the
failed City Savings bank, for which
the Union Trust company is receiver,
are entangled because of Mr.. Hances
management.
Mr.. Hance was at his office yester-
day, as usual, and spent the early
evening at cards with his family. The
suicide came just at the eve of a two
or three months vacation with salary,
which the officers of the company were
planning to give him.
Personal Affairs EntangIed.@
Close friends say that Mr. Hance's
personal affairs had been badly entan-
gled for some time, and that he had
been undergoing a tremendous mental
strain as a result About four weeks
ago the Union Trust company was, in
a measure, reOrganiZed, and Frank w
Blair, auditor of the Peoples State
Savings bank, was elected president
which Office had been vacant for about
a year since the death of William c.
Mcmillan.
While it is intimdted by some that
appointment over the elevation of
an outside man over him in the Union
Trust company contributed largely to
MIR. Hance's depression, Henry Rus
sell, director and legal counsel, says
that Mr.. Hance had been told long be-
fore the election that he could not be
made head of the institution.
Official Statement.
The officers of the Union Trust COM
pany in a statement issued at noon
said:
The strain which he, in common
with the officers of other financial in
situations throughout the country, was
called upon to undergo during the re-
cent financial crisis, bore especially
heavy upon man of his peculiar tenn
permanent. For some time ii has been
apparent to the directors that he was
in need of rest, and arrangements had
already been made to give him brief
vacation.
He had no business relations with
the company which could have been
the occasion of any worry or depres-
sion, and his accounts and affairs are
in excellent shape"

Services Were Simple.
The services were conducted by Rev.
DR.. II. H. SeaVer of Rutland, for many
years an intimate friend of the sena-
tor, and were of the simplest character,
consisting of scripture reading and
prayer. The casket and the pulpit were
hidden from sight under immense
mounds of flowers.
The party proceeded from the church
to the Proctor mausOleum in the GEM
etery, about three-quarters of a mile
distant. The procession consisted of the
family, intimate, friends of the late SEN

the Grand Army posts of this vicinity.
Although a driving snowstorm was
"a ging, 10000 persons, nearly third of

death of the school children was given
today at the continued session of the
coroner's inquest. Stories of heroism
on the part of the women teachers were
recited. F. P. Whitney, superintendent
of the COllinwood schools stated his be-
lief that no fire department could have
done any effective work after the fire
had started Two of the teachers told
of their unavailing attempts to open one
of the double doors at the rear, which
they said was locked. The inquest also

was devouring. The inquest Will be re-

REV. COOKE FILES CHARGES

Brandon. VT, March 6-Charges have
been preferred by Rev. George A.
Cooke, pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in Brandon against Rev.
DR.. j. r. Day, chancellor of Syracuse
university, on the ground that DR.. Day
DETAINED the character of President

Doors Opened Outward.

of the Cleveland fire department, after
an examination of the ruins of the Col
linwOOd school, said il was his opinion
that the loss of life would not have been
so great had there been no partitions at
the sides OF the storm doors at the rear
entrance. Two feet eight inches had
been taken off either side of the hall
for the partitions. His examination de-
veloped that the doors opened outward.
With the appropriation of $4,000 to-
day by the Ohio legislature and the
funds subscribed locally, there Will be
plenty of financial relief for the stricken
families.

Why Charges Were Brought.

When interviewed tonight concerning
the allegations, Rev. DR.. Cooke said
it was true he had brought charges
against Chancellor Day He said that
in a book entitled "A Raid on Pros
perity," written by Chancellor Day,
President Roosevelt was severely criti-
cised and that in his opinion DR.. Day
has violated the rules of the Methodist
Episcopal church in thus assailing the
president. Mr.. Cooke stated that the
specific charge preferred was defama-
ton of character. He considered that
although Syracuse university is under
obligations to the Standard Oil people
by reason of large money gifts" Chan
cellor Day was not justified as a min
lister of the Methodist church in assail-
ing President Roosevelt. The univers-
ity itself is nOn-Sectarian.
1t is expected the charges will be
passed upon at the April conference of
the New York district

Rev. Mr.. Cooke was formerly pas
tor of the Methodist church at Mil
ford, Mass, and is well known in New

campaign against Professor HinckleY
C. Mitchell, formerly professor of He-
brew and Old Testament exegesis of
Boston university. Professor Mitchell
is a minister in the Methodist church
AND several years ago certain parts of
his writings were under investigation
by the bishops and other church au-
thorities. Charges of heresy were pre-
ferred at various times in different
conferences by Rev. Mr.. Cooke.
More recently he has appeared in
charges against Borden Parker Bovine.
professor of philosophy at Boston uni
versity and against DR.. James NJ.
Buckley, editor of the Christian Adyo-
cate. These charges were dismissed
after a hearing.
