suicide is that of Lieut.. Stanwekicz.

his room with naphtha, which he also
poured over the floor, and he placed on
the carpet number of ball cartridges.
Then he fired the room in several
places, so that in few minutes it was
converted into veritable furnace. and
finally hurled himself into the midst of
the flames. The smoke and a series of
violent explosions alarmed the neigh

gushing the fire. but when it was pos

SUFFER AND DIE IN A WRECK.
Fishermen Have Terrible Experience
Off Coast Of iceland

A terrible tale of shipwrecll was
told by the nine survivors of the crew
of 13 of the Grimsby trawler Wash

coast of Iceland on December 23. The

The American Voice.

Whatever be the cause, it is a fact
that American men no longer seek TO
control the pitch of their voices as the
gentlemen of the old school were
taught to do. Undue haste. excessive
nervousness. and vigor of purpose
that is likely to assert itself in an
overemphatic manner have probably
combined to produce in the American
voice that raw, shrill, unrestrained
quality so noticeable. The voices of
American women are even more shock
ing when heard in contrast to the low,
well-modulated voices of European
women.-W Washington Post
