and decorator, ended his life by a pos
toll shot while his wife and three chill

he and his wife entertained laVishly.
Two years ago he was made blind by
chemicals used in paint. lie visited
specialists in Manhattan and Boston,
and finally with his wife, went to
Europe. He paid large sums for treat
ment, but was told that his case was
hopeless. Then he became respondent.
Mrs. Schultze took his revolver from
his bureau drawer about three months

on the bed, blood gushing from a
wound in his head. DIR. Cameron Raw

LEAPS FROM WINDOW;

"pd Like to Get Down from Here"

Story

NEW YORK, July 14.-"Pd like to
get down from here" begged little
Evelyn Newman, peeping over the
edge of an awning on which she lay
before 2S1 East One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street yesterday.
Evelyn, slender girl Of years, had,
in fright, jumped from a third-story
window. The sweet little cherub that
sits up aloft and watches over the
little cherubs below, took care of her;
she bounced up from the awning in
front of the shop, seized the awning
railing and when she got her breath
remarked with some petulance:
"I'd like to get down from here
Helens mother had left the apart
ment and the girl and her two smaller
brothers were playing about the place.
There was a family row in the house
a woman's cry rang out:
Help, murder, police!"
Evelyn and her little brothers
thought 1t was their mothers voice;
feared someone had attacked her, and
trembling with terror the boys ran
downstairs; Evelyn took the quicker
exit and jumped out the window-and
into the awning. Hearing Evelyn beg
to be taken down from there Joseph
Leefduck, the candy man on the
ground floor, took out chair, stood
on 1t and brought down Evelyn. A
wise surgeon from the Harlem hos
pital found a little bruise on the girls
neck; that was all.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK July 1A.-The stock market
showed a tendency today to slip back Into the
rut of dullness from which last weeks AMI
mated dealings had stirred II until the persist
emit strength Of the market prompted re-
neved outbtlrst of buying in the ftnal dealings.
In spite of early dullness there was con-
spicuous scarcity Of onerings OK STOCKS. rms
was sufficiently marked to make 1t the CHAR

The demand, while moderate, was thus made
effective in holding prices London was a
bIver In balance in this market with good eff
fect on sentiment beond the positive effect of
prices of this demand. The absorption Of
United States Steel continued in a manner to
keep attention fixed and the persistence Of this
demand was attributed in a general way to
the cheerful view of the trade outlook emitted
by leading authorities in the industry in pub
lished interviews from time to time. United
states Steel touched A.
The Southern Pacific stocks were another
center Of strength and the dividend policy ex-
emplhed in the maintenance of the Baltimore
G Ohio dividend was believed to be responsible
for this buying on the assumption that 1t
was carried by the prevailing influence Of the
head Of the system.
The railroad freight rate problem continues
tn occupy position Of prime Importance in
the financial view and the horizontal advances
announced in all classes Of freight to Texas
destinations seemed indicative of intended re-
action in other fields. There was complete
understanding today of yesterdays strength
in the wheat market as due in part to esti-
mates Of reduced stocks and to the fears of a
Russian shortage reflected In Russian buying
for export
Fears are still entertained of harm to spring
wheat from drought and forecasts OF showers
in North Dakota. The money market was still
moderately affected by the withdrawal OF
government deposits from the banks and by
the payments of the ANAL instament Of sub
