Laws for furnishing would be suicides sprang from the idea that

A large part of the suicides ar due to a lack of employment. The

Baron Hayashi proposed that China

the Tatsu Maru if she insisted upon
their retention, as we'll as demurrage
for the time the vessel has been in
the hands of the Chinese authorities.
He insisted. however, that China re-

warships fire a salute to her flag in
the presence of a japanese consul. In
consideration of this Japan would re-
linquish her claim for payment for the
arms and leave the matter of the

To the proposals China replied that
she was willing to restore the vessel
and incorporate an apology for the

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, March 5.--News was re-
ceived tonight of the death of E. H.
Pattee. said to have been caused by a
stroke of apoplexy in a hospital at
San Diego.
Mr.. Pattee was a well known Pasa-
dena dairyman. who resided at 755
Magnolia avenue.
A letter left by him was addressed
to Mrs. Pattee of this city, stating that
he had disposed of his business here
and would look for a location in San
Diego.
A postscript to- the letter reads: 81
would rather die with you all than be
here alone"
This inscription leads to the belief
that Pattee committed suicide.
He left Pasadena yesterday, telling
his wife he was going to Imperial.
Previous to his departure from this
city Pattee disposed of his dairy busi-
ness here to Mrs. j. d. Murphy. AS q
sequel to this transaction the Raab
Creamery company brought suit
against Pattee in local justice court
for $500 to satisfy a claim alleged to
be due for milk furnished.
A telegram forwarded by the hospital
authorities to Mrs. Pattee had not been
received by her tonight. she was seri-
eusly shocked upon being told of her
husbands death.
