Hartford. Nov. 12.~Mystery surrounds
the identity Of a woman found dead and
a man In a critical condition from NOR
phine poisoning in Longs Hotel this aft
ernoon. on Sunday couple came 70 the
hotel and registered as r. 5. Brown and
wife. Canton. Ohio. In the days inter
vening they stayed mostly in their
rooms. Each was well dressed and ap-
parenuy they were well 10 do.
An employe of the hotel wanted to en-
ter their room this afternoon in order
10 hang out flags In honor OF President
Tafts visit. and found the door locked.
After some delay entrance was obtained
and the woman was found lying dead on
the bed. She was dressed with the ex-
ception Of her hat and shoes. The man
was found unconscious and groaning. He,
too, was dressed.
The medical examiner said that NOR
phine was the cause OF their condition.
The man was taken to the hospital and it
Is believed he may recover. He had part
~ recovered consciousness tonight lie
refused to say more than that his name
was Brown, and he called his wife Nell .
No money was found In the room or In
the mans clothing.
CIew TO Identity.
The only clew TO the identity OF the
man is the makers name IN the inside
pocket OF his coat This reads. Sell
Brothers, importers and tailors. 6l5
Penna. \. W. Washington, d. c."
Also on the tag was the date the suit
was made, October 9, and the number
,i23. presumably the number of the suit.
There We also the name +. J. Reid.
which presumably is the name given at
the tailOr's when the suit was ordered.
Whether 1t is the mans correct name is
not known, and no further Identification
had been made tonight. Both the man
and the woman were about thirty years
old

writing a letter to relatives saying she
intended committing suicide
Inspector Boardman was informed of
the tragedy. and told that an inscription
was found on the inside OF a pocket in
the mans coat reading: Sells Bros, 6l5
Pennsylvania avenue-1l23-F. J. Reid" It
was recalled that a man named +. J.
Reid, employed by the Van Dorm Iron
Works. OF Cleveland, Ohio, had disap-
peared from his apartments in Washing
ton. whore he was working for the firm.
The meager description of the body OF
the woman tailed with that of Miss Fer
guson, and with these clews the inspector
went TO work. with the result that in an
hour he was satisfied he had established
the identity Of the couple.
Threatened Suicide.
1t will be remembered that Miss Fergu-
son was last seen In Washington in a
hotel in North Capitol street about mid
night, November 3. She entered the hos
telry with man and went in the writing
room, where she wrote a letter, which
was received by her sister. Mrs. J. o..
CAN'T Of Langley Va. the following
day. In the letter the young woman said
she was despondent and wanted to end
her life Mrs. Can't became worried and
asked her husband TO make an attempt
to locate the woman. CAN'T was unsuc-
cessful and appealed to the police.
So far as has been learned nothing has
been heard from Miss Ferguson since she
wrote the letter threatening to end her
life. 1t has not been learned how she met
Reid. To confirm his theory OF the
identity of the couple, Inspector Board
man telegraphed the following description
TO the Hartford. Conn, police: Blanche
Ferguson, twenty five years old. five feet
seven inches, 145 pounds, slender build,
fair complexion. brown hair. blue or gray
eyes, dark suit. and long coat"
At n late hour he had received no reply

Dorm firm, as well as Mrs. Can't and Mrs.
Catharine NJ. Williams, Of 511 Tenth

LIQUIDATION N STEEL:
Weakness Of This Stock More or

RAILROAD LOSES were MODERATE
Besides United State Steel, Some Of
Miner Metal Stocks Much oemora'-

Railroad Stocks Also Decline.
tBy Associated Press

| NEW YORK FEB. 2O.-The steel
trade situation was the only subject
Of discussion in the stock market
today. The chaotic condition into
/ which the steel trade has been thrown
, by the announced determination OF
the United States Steel Corporation
10 modify prices in such wise as Is
necessary to secure business. Is fully
cuualled by the confusion of spccula-
tive opcrat ions as to the results to
be apprs hendcd from this action.
Railroad stocks were relatively lit
tie affected by the Generalization In
the steel industrials, AMI there was
cropping effect to read only advaE-
tages from the action In the making
OF an open market for steel products.
Suggestions that an object lesson
was intended to influence the pending
tariff revision were considered with
uneasiness, as were the possibilities
Of wage reductions and resulting labor
troubles.
S. me of the minor steel companies
stocks were much demoraliZed AMI
slumped violently. The fall in Unit
ed States Steel was restrained. in
f,uenced by the worldwide participa-
ton in the market for that stock.
The food CT liquidation IN United
States Steel was constant. however.
and its last price Of 46 was the lowest
of the day.
The break in Colorado Fuel reached
over seven points. Republic Steel
preferred six, and the common more
than four points. Pennsylvania suf-
fered a decline OF 21 points in &C
cUrdance with the large proportion
OF its traffic which Is made up OF
steel and steel products. Outside

Mrs. Edward de Witt Taylor, daugh-

am violently opposed to it, of course
because / am opposed to tariff in any
form. Then, too, / am interested in
the masses and their welfare, rather

an injustice to them to put any tax

After the business meeting, the mem
bers listened to an address by Rev
William RAIDER, who gave some of his
journeyings and of the contrasting
conditions of the east and west. He
said that the time had come to con-
trast the wonders of the modern world
with those of the ancient times. The
subway was. he said. to his mind quite
q s great a marvel as the pyramids OF
Egypt and some of the railroad bridges
as wonderful as the Acropolis.
NEW AGE DAWNING
This is an age of material marvels
but he feels that the dawn of great
er civilization is manifesting itself in
America. This feeling he character
ized as newer patriotism, differing
from the old in being a sounder and
steadier love of country which has
to deal with the development of cul-
ture. of homes, of the schools and the
Mile. Eleanore Joseph presented
two of her pupils, Mrs. Edward
Lichtenberg and Mrs. Rosina K. Burke
who sang.

AS regards the Payne tariff bill,
which is to make stockings soar aloft
in a shocking way, the Laurel Hall
club reached no conclusion definite
enough to be embodied in resolutions,
but the sentiment was against the
proposed measure.
definite point was made by one
member and supported ardently by
most of the others present. that it was
not fair to put a tax on anything that
was so necessary as gloves, not to
mention stockings.
Tariff" said one woman, "is meant,
as l understand it, for luxuries, or 1t
must realize that hosiery and gloves
are necessities"
Some others thought that the pro-
posed measure was unjust TO women.
1T is all very we'll" said one, in
confidence, 'to say that the men pay
for the stockings. There are some of
us who buy our own stockings and
those who have men to pay for them
may find that the men will be un-
willing to spend any more money and
that will mean fewer stockings for
US. 1t is directed against women and
I for one protest against such unjust
discrimination
BELIEVES TAX UNJUST

club maintained her original position
