President OF
Trust Company
Kills Himself
John W. Castles, Head Of One Of
Largest Financial Institutions in
New York, Cuts Throat.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13-John w. Castles
president of the Union Trust company OF
this city, capitalized at s1.OoO0Oo, a director
. )ther we'll known corporations and prom
Vt in club and social life in this city
the south. cut his throat from ear to
the Grand Union hotel this after
z. I. and was found dead stretched across
tonight. He had been in i'll health
re time and his suicide is ascribed
nervous breakdown and not to
= troubles.
: was discovered about 3 O'Clock
TO his brother, Burton S. Castles.
VIII = = ug become alarmed at Mr.
Cas- ure to return home from the
bank search through the hotels
of tn -.ty. Arriving at the Grand Union.
he found that Mr.. Castles had registered
there under his own name at 4:2O O'Clock
this afternoon and had gone Immediately
to the room assigned to him on the second
floor. AS his body was cold when found
tonight, indications are that he ended his
life soon after closing the door behind him.
The body, dressed only in the under gar
ments, was lying across the bed in the
room, while on a table nearby was a bloody
razor with which he had ended his life.
According to his friends. Hr. Castles was
broken in health by overwork and had lit
tie connection with the Union Trust COM
pany since assuming the presidency OF the
institution on January 1 last when he
succeeded Edward King. Mr.. King had
been president since 1873. but in last No
vember met with an accident which re-
suited in his death ten days later.
Not long ago Mr.. Castles condition be-
came so serious that he was sent to
sanitarium at Kerhonksen, N. Y, in Uus-
ter county, where he remained for three
months under treatment. First time dur
ing his illness he was allowed to go to the
bank today, unattended. He was expected
home early in the afternoon and his fail
ure to return started the search which re-
vealed his tragic death tonight.
Alexander s. Cochran, a director Of the
Union Trust company. speaking officially
for that institution tonight, said positivelpy
that Mr.. Castles suicide had no bearing
whatever upon financial matters. He was
simply an overworked man was Mr..
Cockrans explanation Of his act. In fact,
he said Mr.. Castles health had been so
poor that he had rarely been seen around
the Union Trust company since he sue
ceeded Mr. King. John " B. Thayer, Sec
retary and vice presrent Of the Trust COM
pany, made substantially the same state
ment as did Mr.. Castles brother. Mr..
Castles widow and two children are in
the Adirondocks. where they have been
spending the summer. She was notified
of her husbands death tonight.
The Union Trust company is one OF the
largest institutions of its kind in the city
and is situated at 80 Broadway IN the heart
OF the financial district. Up to 1905 II was
paying dividends Of 90 per cent and Is now
considered one Of the strongest banks in
the country. Its surplus and profits
amount to $s,1s9,77O and its loans and dis
counts to SSe1S4,60O, while the deposits

OF whisky, Arivina Pape. a telegraph
operator employed by the Burlington at
Arvada, small town a few miles east Of
Sheridan, conceived an idea last night Of

He changed the wires on the switchboard
and stopped practically all Burlington trains
on the Wyoming division for several hours.
Pope only laughed at those who called him
up over the telephone from this city At
first he refused to deliver the United States
mail to passenger train No. 49, coming from
the east. He was finally arrested and
brought to Sheridan where he was fined
and given a severe lecture by Judge
Charles P. Story. Pope is unmarried and
is % years old. He has been summarily

VOTES TO MAKE APPROPRIATION
Action Taken at Annual Convention
Being Held Mt Demonstrate
Physician Proposed, but Is
Held in Allegiance.

Although they worked in opposition to
the preparations for the national conven-
tion as a counter attraction and in the
face of inclement weather a reducer of
attendance, the Eagle delegates to the
fourth annual Nebraska aerie succeeded
IN opening the convention at Benson Mon
day in the Eagle auditorium and holding
two sessions, not record breakers for at
tendance but very enthusiastic meetings
considering the size of the delegations
Seventeen Nebraska towns and cities
with more than fifty delegates were rep
resented at each of the meetings These
towns were Omaha, South Omaha Flor
ence, McCook, North Bend, Plattsmouth
Harrington. Fremont, Norfolk, Blair, Lin
coin, Elkhorn, Chadron, North Platte
Benson and Beatrice
The national gathering at Omaha cut
down the attendance from this city and
kept State President Ryder away from
the Benson aerie with his labor in taking
care Of the needs Of the delegates to the
grand aerie. He was able to spend a few
minutes at the opening session, being there
to call the meeting to order and to make
a short speech. But after that he left the
convention In charge OF Vice President
julie Althaus of Omaha, who presided at
the afternoon meeting.
Frank Herring Speaks.
At the morning meeting the most i'm
portant part OF the program was an ad-
dress by Grand Worthy Vice President
Frank E. Herring of South Bend, Ind.
who becomes the next president of the
grand aerie. His talk dealt with the future
of the fraternity and the part that Ne
braska and its local aeries had to play in
keeping the order on an upward path.
State President Ryder and Mayor Charles
Tracy, who welcomed the Eagles to BEN
son, each made short talks at the opening
session.
The delegates went into executive session
in the afternoon and excluded all but mem
bers Of the Nebraska aerle from their
assembly room. At this session two rather
important resolutions were presented ask
ing for action by the grand aerie. One
introduced by =. a. Jones OF South Omaha
that the grand aerie appro-
pirate money to build a home for Eagles
afflicted with tuberculosis. The other was
presented by DR.. A. J. Ames of North
Platte and recommended that the grand
aerie create the office OF grand physician
The first resolution was adopted and the
second one will be passed at the first meet
ing today.
The afternoon meeting was opened by
Vice President Althaus at O'clock. Sew

Samson Welcomes Great Crowd at His
Famous Stronghold.
NIGHT OF SONG, MIRTH, SPEECH
Performance iG Splendid and Visitors
EcstRtic in Their Words of
Praise for the Beauties
of the Realm.

Editors were pushed aside by shear force
of numbers of the Eagles and by the size
of their badges at the den Monday night,
when the beautiful oprey OF 'Paprika
schnitzel" was rendered with great feeling
to happy throns Of thousands. Country
editors took notets o.. Ihe parts OF the
wonderful performances they would write
about and the Eagles had to hold on to
their pit feathers to keep from shaking
them all out from laughter.
The night was billed as Editors night
but the advance guard of the Eagles con-
vention turned out in such profusion that
the editors were almost lost in the crowd,
although T. w. Mccullough and G. NJ.
Hitchcock held up the scribes' end OF the
proceedings.
No more enthusiastic bunch of "undesir-
able citizens" was ever taken on board
the pirate ship than last night, and so
anxious were all to take the oath of allie
glance to King Ak-Sar-Ben that Grand
Worthy Chancellor B. F. Thomas had to
hustle to beat them to it on the admins
trstion of the oath. They simply gloomed
the words of wisdom given forth by Grand
Worthy Counsellor George S. Powell. The
bull pen" was crowded to overflowing
when Grand Mufti Mccullough called the
guests to order that the oath might be
administered, and all were more than
ready for the fun.
Oprey Want in Gotham.
Since the news has gone broadcast over
the land that President Taft is to join
Ak-Sar-Ben and is to hear the oprey,
"Paprika Schnitzel," the board of govern
ors have been getting all kinds of offers.
but one arrived last night during the per-
formance which the directors are seriously
considering accepting. The New York
has offered to give 'Paprika"
the run of that famous playhouse for a
week or a month during January.
Men, men, men-that is the cry. Men
Tor the floats and men to ride the horses
n the big electrical parade. Men must

niring thousands on the biggest night OF

karbach and they will be fitted out.
After announcing that there were now
224 paid members of the order Grand
Mufti Mccullough welcomed the Eagles to
Omaha on behalf Of King Ak-Sar-Ben.
