WOMAN PREFERS DEATH
TO LOSS OF TRESSES
Sacrifices Life to Save Her
Hair, Ninety Inches Long

DENVER, May 12.-That Mrs. Mamma
Patter Valley, "a years old. sacrificed
her life rather than submit to the loss
of her luxuriant tresses is the belief
of Denver physicians who attended the
woman until her death. Mrs. Valley
died yesterday at her home in Berkeley,
where she had gone in the hope of re-
gaining her health
1t is the opinion of the physicians
that the vitality which should have
sustained Mrs. Valley was consumed in
her great wealth of hair, which had
attained the length Of 80 inches and
was of a deep auburn color.
when told she must lose her hair or
perhaps die, she chose the latter
course and would not hear of having
her locks shorn.

Miss Farrar told her questioner

the Kronprinz Wilhelm Tuesday night.
1ae reply was received by this friend
today. 1t was that Miss Farrar will
be married in Paris in June to Mr..
Scott.
Inc announcement, though ex-
pected. will surprise some aof Miss

declared himself candidate for United

ton was made at the democratic head
quarters in this city, and it was there
that the platform upon which he in

General Strike Planned

The first sign of the intention of
outside unions to participate in the
strike movement came tonight when
at a meeting of delegates of the
United Syndicates of the Seine de-
partment it was decided that the
moment has come to throw down the
barriers separating the state en-
ployes from the workmen."
The delegates bound themselves to
start an organization of the respective
unions so as to be ready to march out
in body when a general strike should
be called and invited the general fed
GRAFTON of labor to take all steps neces-
sary to create a general movement in
France.
The streets are patroled by the
mounted republican guards, all exposed
telegraph lines are being carefully
watched and soldiers have been intro
duced even into the sewers of the city
to prevent the cutting of wires. Fur
thermore 500 military telegraphers and
400 automobiles have been hastily mob
ilized and massed in the Gallerie des
Machines ready for instant service.
General Dalstein, the military governor
of Paris, has $4,000 troops in reserve.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
CITY'S ARCHITECT
Newton j. Tharp Succumbs
After Brief Illness While
in New York City

Stricken with pneumonia while in
the full vigor of manhood. Newton ].
Tharp. city architect of San Francisco,
succumbed to the disease yesterday at
the Knickerbocker hotel in New York
city. and gloom now pervades his
home in this city, the municipal Offices.
where he was respected as an honor
able and able official. and the Bohe-
mian club. where he had been styled
prince of good fellows" Engaged
in the study of modern eastern muni-
cipal structures, the knowledge from
which he was to use for the benefit
of San Francisco. the deceased thought
little of his own personal comfort or
health, and as result he leaves a
widow prostrated with grief and a
host of friends stunned by the news Of
his death.
1t seems like the irony of fate that
when he was attacked by the disease
which caused his death Newton Tharp
was engaged in the work of studying
the modern hospitals of New York and
