Mrs. Beauchain a Suicide.

That Mrs. Mabel A. Beauchain, of
Allston, a suburb of Boston, Mass,
came to her death at the Aragon
Hotel yesterday by razor cut
across the throat, self-inflicted, was
the verdict of the coroner's jury,
which made thorough investiga-
ton of the case to-day. Mrs. Beau
chain was found in her room early
yesterday morning with her throat
cut from ear to ear, a razor lying
near her right hand, the blood squirt
ing about over the bed clothing and
even to the floor beyond. DR.. T.. f..
Banker, of Ft. Edward, n. Y, her
private physician, found her gasp
ing for breath and called hotel at
taches.
The coroner's jury viewed the
scene OF the tragedy this morning
and heard the testimony of DR..
Banker, hotel attaches, Mr.. New
comb, proprietor of the hotel; Sher-
if Bowden, Detective Cahoon and
Deputy Sheriff Frank Jones, who
had Investigated the case. The
trunks of Mrs. Beauchain and her
personal effects were carefully
searched, but nothing was revealed
that had any bearing whatever on
the case.
Evidence before the jury to-day
showed that Mrs. Beauchain feared
an impending operation, and that
she had previously been affected
with nervous depression, bordering
upon dementia. DIR. Banker de-
clared to-day that one of the phys
Icians in attendance upon her at
that time stated that she had the ia
cial expression of one afflicted with
suicidal melanchOlia. He predicted
that she would end her own life
some day.
Owing to some enlargement there
has been no communication between
Mrs. Beauchain and her relatives,
and her body will be sent to her at
torney. Her mother, Mrs. Kenni-
son, and sister, live at "a Pratt ST.,
Allston, Mass, a suburb of Boston.
DIR. Banker stated this morning
that no one regretted or deplored the
suicide more than he, who had spent
several months as Mrs. Beauchain's
physician and advisor. He first met
the Beauchains at San Mateo, where
he was practicing, and accompanied
them to their home last year. He
was acting under advice of Mr.. Va
hey, Mrs. Beauchain's attorney, as
the telegram from him plainly
shows.
All the evidence pointed TO the
suicide theory. The wound across
Mrs. Beauchain's throat was deeper
at the left side, where there were
two or three slight scratches from
the razor, which had probably been
inflicted before the fatal cut. The
razor was lying near her hand, and

Discussion In Seattle.
Local me mbers of labor unions have
received Information from Secretary
Treasurer Charles Perry Taylor, of the
state federation of labor that there is
some dissension in the ranks because
of the announcement made by So
called union sympathizers to the effect
that the Seattle celebration would be
held on the grounds of the exposition.
A boycott was called on the fair sew
eral months ago by the state officials,
and they are now branding as untrue
the statements that Seattle union men
will celebrate on the A.-H.-P- grounds.
Walla Walla workers are asked to
place no faith in statements to the
contrary. and Mr.. Taylor expresses the
opinion that the attendance at the fair
on Labor day will not be what some
have been expecting

get out of the city and spend day in

at the park, where many special at

The speaker for the occasion has not

union workers will be given an oppor

News of what is probably the end OF

broke early today and the purse SEM
ers are reported as preparing to aban-
don their haunts that have proved so

the canneies will start packing hump

The schooner Alice, which has beer

to take a cargo of spring salmon to
Columbia river canneries. The
schooner will transport 10000 large
fish that could pot be handled by the
Sound canneries with the prevailing
rush of packing sockeye.
Reports received here from the sal
mon banks state that fishermen are
abandoning the sockeye haunts and
traps have been lifted without fish.
1t is estimated that the run now end
ed will reach a record pack of SOCK
eye salmon. Most of the Sound can
neries will be enabled to operate three

cannery capacity.
