f. Randolph, treasurer Of the Edison
Manufacturing Co, Of which Thomas
a. Edison is president. committed sui
eide in the cellar of his residence on
New Valley way today by shooting
himself in the head
1t is believed that Mr.. Randolph was
temporarily insane, as neither in his
business or his family affairs was there
any known cause for such an act This
belief was given further credence by
the knowledge that a near relative be-
came mentally unbalanced n few years
ago. Alphonse Westee, secretary OF
the Edison Manufacturing Co. said
today that Mr.. Randolph's accounts
We're absolutely straight and that he
was as honest man as ever lived.
Mir. Randolph was private secretary
to Thomas \. Edison and Mr.. Edison
was on" Of the first tn reac, his house
after his death was known.
When Mr.. Edison reached the house
Mrs. Randolph was rushing from room
tn room wringing her hands and cry
ing out that she would kill herself. Mr..
Edison followed Mrs. Randolph to the
second story and came upon her as
she was about to throw herself from
a second-story window. He seized the
frenZied woman and after hard
struggl'' succeeded in pulling her back
to a place Of safety.
Several letters left by Mr.. Ran
dolph showed the suicide to have been
deliberately planned. In one to Mrs.
Randolph he assured her that pro-
vision had been made whereby all his
property would go to her The letter
declared that every dollar he had had
been gained honestly and by hard
work. Among other letters was one for
Mr. Edison ana also one for Mrs. Edi-
son. These letters were not made pub

ing the presidency of the league char
acterzed the political situation as seri-
ors. declaring that the Democratic par
ty. hungry with long fasting, will do their
best to get together and win the coming

not count upon Democratic mistakes as

from his youth, and declared that he was
tho man who undoubtedly could obtain

valopmcntS ir current political move
ments in Now England has been the
marvellous growth Of sentiment there for

Sionatc. restrained and resolutC. The
sentiment of New England Republicans
for Gov Hughes is not of hot house
growth No clique has fostered it. No
machine has made it. 1t arises from
deep ard genuine appreciation of his
character and purposes, from a study Of
his mind and from an abiding faith in
him as Il man and as an executive"
Chairman Milholland. who made the
speech notifying Gov. Woodford of his
selection. told his hearers that the CAM
