Washington, Aug. 6-Is high pro-

From the remarks of Senzsor
Aldrich the Affirmative would be in
terred, as his stock excuse for ad-

cost OF living was that he was pro

In contrast to these assurances
reports are coming from the labor
unions that the protected industries
are now engaged in crushing organi-
zed labor in all parts of the United
States.
The Union man has all but disae-

They Are Found at Bottom of Deep
Hollow, One of Them Dead and
the Other Two Wounded.

Utica, N. Y.-Bloodhounds have
failed to follow the trail of the man
who shot three Italian children,
the oldest of them seven years old.
The only fact in the case of which the

murderer is an Italian.
The Oldest of the children, Theresa
Procipio, was shot through the heart.
Fanny Infusino, six is wounded in the
left arm, and Fred Infusino, two and a
half years old, was shot through the

new YORK BANKER
CUTS HIS THROAT.
HIS SUICIDE is AscRleED SOLELY
TO A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
AND oVERWoRk.
WAS A PROMINENT CLUB MAN
Also Was President of the Union
Trust Co. and Director In other
Well Known Corporations
III for Some Time.

New York Clty.-John w. Castles,
president of the Union Trust Co.
of this city, capitalized at S1,000,000, a
director in other we'll known corpora
tions and prominent in club and social
life in this city and the south, cut his
throat from ear to ear in the Grand
Union hotel in the afternoon and was
found dead stretched across a bed at
night. He had been in i'll health for
some time and his suicide is ascribed
solely to a nervous breakdown and not
to financial troubles.
His body was discovered about 9
p. m. by his brother, Burton S. Cas-
ties, who, having become alarmed at
Mr. Castles failure to return home
from the bank, began search through
the hotels of the city. Arriving at the
Grand Union, he found that Mr.. Cas-
ties had registered there under his
own name at 4;20 o'clock in the after
noon and had gone Immediately to the
room assigned to him on the second
floor. AS his body was Id when
found indications are that he ended
his life soon after closing the door be-
hind him.
The body, dressed only in the under
garments, was lying across the bed in
the room, while on table nearby was
bloody razor which he had ended
his life. Examination showed that he
had severed both the windpipe and the
cartoid artery, but Notwithstanding
this had made his way to the bed be-
fore he expired. The position of the
razor leads to the belief that he stood
before mirror while slashing his
throat.
According to friends, Mr.. Castles was
broken in health by overwork and had
had little connection with the Union
Trust Co. since assuming the presi-
dency of the institution on January
last when he succeeded Edward King
Mr.. King had been president since
1873, but ON November last met with
an accident which resulted in his
death ten days later.
Beside being president of the Union
Trust Co., Mr.. Castles was a director
of the Central Park North & East
River Railroad Co., the Central of
Georgia Railway Co., the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railway Co., the Hanover Ma
tional bank of this city, the Maryland
Trust Co. of Baltimore, and the Nor
ristown IN. J.) Trust Co. He was
United States trustee for the North
ern Assurance Co., limited, of London.
His clubs were numerous, among them
the Union, Downtown, Automobile
Club of America and the Morris COun-
ty Golf club.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; if not near the store buy the
large size family package. Q
