THEORY OF MURDER
THROUGH SUICIDE

VIctlm, leading TO the desired
result of suicide, or by systematic goading for that purpose, or by
deliberately weakening the victims physical and mental power.
That aspect Of the crime Of murder is conjured up in the Snead
case, and the circumstances giye~color to the theory that Mrs.
Snead was impeIled by influences and acts of others to take her
own life. But how would a case Of the kind appeal 70 the ordi-

A Nuisance of the streets.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
Dear Sir: From time to time the
police of the city make half hearted
attempts to keep the northwest
corner Of Market and Broad streets,
and the curbs extending to Bank
and Halsey streets, clear OF the
young ~so-called sports" who loiter
there in the evenings. especially on
Saturdays. These attempts are few
and far between. however. and pests
who frequent the locality soon for
get that there ever vas any opposi-
ton to their presence and congre-
gate IS they did before.
During the recent busy shopping
season the corner, after dark. was
not safe for a woman without an
escort Groups Of young touglis
seemed to take a delight in gath
ering there and insulting women as
they passed, and little or nothing
was done to stop them. When the
police fnterfered at all II was SIM
ply to issue an uninforced order to
move on" which was disobeyed
W before their backs were turned.
In most cases the police interior
ence consisted of poking in the
back with their clubs innocent by
ISLANDERS. who, for Legitimate
reasons. were standing on the cor
ner.
1t seems 20 me that the officers
stationed on the corner ought not
only to protect women pedestrians,
but use soma discretion in ordering
persons away from the curb.
Law AND ORDER.
Praises Public Service Cooperation.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir--Just a note In COM
mendation of the much1abused
Public Service Corporation. In the
columns of your paper devoted to
the letters OF the people we often
hear k~icks-violent. healthy kicks
against the tyranny. the fearful
state of dissolution prevailing In the
local trolley service, and by and by
we ONE to think there is no good
in the Public Service Corporation
at all. at all!
But In welcome contrast we read
of the efforts of the trolley psopls
to better service b. mapping out
new routes. m of the most needfuI
reforms in this big city OF Newark.
We read. also. that 1t Is the honor
able tntentie n OF the officials Of -
Public Service Corporation to take
the public into their full confidence.
once the plans are matured. n
this is SO, it is an added point In
favor of the Public Service Corpo-
ration. If there is truth behind the
statement issued that eminent troll
ley and traffic experts have been
employed by the Public Service
Corporation, the road Is to be on
mended for doing something that
both the city and the Public Serv-
ice should have done long ago.
Yours truly. r. G. TRAzEE.

SUMNER PRICES
At MARKETS NOW
Warmer Weather Causes a
Drop in Everything Sales
Were Heavy Today.

Warmer weather today broke up the
temporary halt in the tendency Of prices
to become cheaper. brought on by the
cool weather early IN the week. There
was a general sliding down toward
summer prices as a result.
Spring chickens again took the lead
in the downward movement, reaching
the lowest point at which they have
sold this year. The sales were based
on a nineteen - twenty-cent basis.
Lambs were weaker and, in few sales,
brought more than seven cents. Calves,
for the most part, sold at seven cents,
although extra quality occasionally
brought seven and one-half cents.
In the vegetable line, squash, toma-
tSes and peppers became cheaper. Grapes
and fruits recorded the reductions in
the fruit line.
Demand was normal, and, with re-
ceipts liberal, a heavy amount OF bust
ness was transacted in all divisions OF
the market.
