WOMAN COMMITS SUICIDE
Mrs. Lorillard, Wife of Tobacco Mag
nate, Kills Self in Washington.
ACT DUE TO DEsPONDENCY
Family Says Death IL Due to Heart
Disease, Despite Verdict of Cor
oner of Suicide by Gas
Poisoning.

WASHINGTON. March 25-Weary of the
gay whiri OF society and face to face as
she believed with years of physical suffer
ing, Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, jr.. aged ~, wife
of the tobacco magnate, committed suicide
by asphyx yxiation at her home near the fash

in years. Tonight the members of the
Lorillard family, famous because of its
wealth, are gathering here to mourn over
the unexpected blow. In spite Of the cor
oner's certificate of death by suicide mem
bers of the family declare that Mrs. Loril-
lard died OF heart failure.
The death was made more dramatic by
occurring only a few hours after Mr.. and
Mrs. Lorillard had been the guests of Mrs.
Townsend, IN Massachusetts avenue, at a
dinner given in honor of Lady Paget. In
fact, it is believed that as soon as Mrs.
Lorillard arrived at her home at 2OS0 Hill
yer Place, shortly after midnight this morn
ing, she began to prepare for her death.

body to Mrs. Lorilard's room.
Panic stricken, the servant was dis

attempted to revive his wife by means OF
artificial respiration. DIR. NJ. +. Cuthbert

the result was huge success. Some
of the fair ladies tried to make their
representations of the animals pretty
and coquettish the effects being most
attractive, yet immensely funny, while
The men, on the other hand, made their
characters as grotesque as possible. As

roar, the barking of dogs, the cooling
of doves and the singing of birds.

Practically all these millionaires agreed

to devote some of their money to char

posed to spend some of her money in
keeping the boys out of the saloons.

knew how to spend money as 1t should
