New Haven. Dec 2e.-Professor J. C.. Hume. of Toronto University. at the meeting Of the American Philosophical Association. in an address on The Significance of Suicide" urged that more and closer attention be paid to the causes and possible prevention of suicide, which is becoming a more and times. and also severely rebuked the daily newspapers for their realistic, sensational accounts of narrowing de- tails of suicides. as exerting a morbid giing with the temptation of commit ting the crime.
 IL was in speaking Of the various factors which may be-the causes or candidate that Professor Hume. dis cuseinx the influence of various kinds of literature. bitterly denounced the press for their realistic accounts of such disasters as suicides.
 We have to a large extent succeed ed in educating the public so as to have lost their taste in gloating over the account of an execution But the most undue. and to weak-minded per sons morbidly inclined and youths. the most fatal emphasis is laid on the minute description of all the details of a suicide. the same as of a murder.
 What a really big menace suicide Is to our nation can be imagined. if I suicides In this country are committed at present at the rate of one every hour in the day. the year around. It is absolutely necessary that measures be taken to reduce this number. to find methods of prevention In the case of a murder the State takes it upon itself to make minute inquiries into the facts of the case. so as to punish the murderer. with an ultimate view of protecting society. While in case of e suicide the guilty one Is be- yond the arm of the law. yet it is nec- essary for the protection of society against the alarming increase of sui cides to look into each individual case, to attempt to detect the causes and circumstances. and seek ways of pre- vention- For this we need more care full and more painstaking psychology. and this Is the reason why I bring up this subject here at this meeting"

 Washington, Dec 29.-When Con- gress re-convenes next week, one of the. first things to be done will be the appointment of a special joint commit tee to investigate the Ballinger-Pin- chot controversy.
 It will be the first time in history that Congress has placed a cabinet of ficer on trial at his own request In making his request for an investisa- tion- Balllnger stipulated that the ad- ministration of the Forest Service also be made the subject of inquiry This has been acceded to by the leaders in Congress and by President Taft. Ac- cordinS to present plans, the investi- gation will be sweeping and every op- portunity will be afforded both belli- gerents to make good their case On Tuesday or Wednesday the joint reso- lution providing for the investigation will be presented by the Senate com mittee on public lands and the House committee on rules.
 IL will be an administration resolu- tlon and 1t is expected that it will be adopted with but little opposition
 Senator Nelson of Minnesota, chair man of the committee on public lands will likely be the chairman of the in vestigat ting committee.
 So bitter has become the dissension in the Presidents official family and so embarrassing to the administration that 1t is generally predicted today either Ballinger or Pinchot must leave the government service as the result of the Congressional inquiry.

 MT. Gordon was one of several Confederate leaders suspected of be- ing in conspiracy with J. Wilkes Booth to kill President Abraham Lin coin. He escaped arrest and probably death only by the intervention. 1t Is stated Of a Yankee Colonel with whom he had crossed swords in a fight in Virginia
 During the earlier years of the war Col Gordon had formed an intimate friendship with Booth. and after the assassination of President Lincoln the reward of s10.0O0 was of cred for his capture. Col Gordon went to Canada and 1t was several months after the close of hostilities before he found it safe to return home
 During one of the campaigns in Virginia, Col Gordon had crossed swords with the Colonel of a New York cavalry regiment. Both. were wounded in the conflict. but they af- terwards became fast friends.
 Col Gordon wrote a letter to this New Yorker. denying that he had any part in the conspiracy, and stating that he desired to return home. The former foe took the matter up with Gen. Dix. then in command of the army forces in New York, and the lat ter sent him a passport and an invi- tation to come to New York and sur render. which he did He afterward satisfied Gen Dix. that he knew nothing of the Lincoln conspiracy.
 He took the oath of allegiance and returned to his home in Chlckasaw County, where he has since resided"
