SOCIETY WOMAN
ENDS HER LIFE
MRS. PIERRE LoRILLARD COM.
MITs SUICIDE BY INHALING
GAS; FAMILY I'M DENIAL

Washington, D. G. March 26--Weary
of the gay whirl of society and face to
face, as she believed, with years Of
physical suffering, Mrs. Pierre Loril-
lard, Jr., aged 40 years, wife of the to-
bacco magnate, committed suicide by
asphyxiation at her home near the
fashionable Dupont circle in this city.
Her tragic death has shocked the
first social circles Of the capital, as
nothing else in years. Last night the
members Of the Lorillard family fam
Gus because Of it's wealth, gathered
there to mourn over the unexpected
blow. In spite of the coroner's death
certificate of death by suicide, mem
bers Of the family declare that Mrs.
Lorillard died of heart failure.
The suicide was discovered when
the butler in the Lorillard residence
detected an odor of gas permeating
the rooms. With little difficulty the
origin OF the fumes was traced to
Mrs. Lorillard's apartments. Opening
the door of the bathroom, just off the
suite, the butler was Mortified to be.

house stretched out lifeless on the
floor Her face was turned to the mat
on the floor.
Extreme reticence is being main.

others who possess any information
concerning her sudden death.
Inquiry at the residence met with
the declaration that Mrs. Lorillard had
not committed suicide "She died OF

Mrs. Lorillard was subject to- frequent
attacks of dependency, it is said
Last pight Mr.. Lorillard stated in his
opinion the death of his wife was not

BANK GUARANTY is
DOWNED IN HOUSE
BY VOTE OF Sc TO a. DARRAH
BILL is VOTED OUT; SENATE,
DEFEATS BILL TO CHANGE
RAILROAD TAXATION.
Des Moines Bureau of

Des Moines, March 26
Governor Carroll today made pub
lie statement in the Carroll-Keltz con
troversy in which he states that he
did call UP Keltz over the phone and
asked for his resignation, and he fur
ther states that Keltz promised he
would send in his resignation by
mail. Afterwards, the governor says,
Keltz declined to resign. He there
fore asked the attorney general for a
statement and secured the information
that the governor has not the power
OF removal of state officers.
To Proceed in Courts.
Gov. Carroll sets forth that Keltz
attended the national convention last
June and he was paid for the full
month. Four days are in controversy.
The governor has turned. the matter
over to the attorney general that he
may proceed in the courts against
Keltz.
Gov Carroll says that the controver-
sy shows the necessity for the con-
solidation Of departments and also for
ending Of the per diem system.
Railroad Tax Bill Defeated.
The senate this morning refused to
change the method of assessing rail
road property by defeating the Saun-
ders terminal tax bill, Is to %. The
bill could require that railroad termi-
nails be locally assessed and taxed
separately from the general value of
the roads, thus increasing the taxa
tion Of railroads in cities and de-
creasing it i'll the country.
Down Bank Guaranty Bill.
The house discussed at length the
minority report recommending the
passage Of the Darrah bank guarantee
bill and finally supported the commit
tee in recommending the defeat of
the bill by a vote Of A to Sc. This
ends all the talk of bank guaranty
bill this session. The house having
little to do, took the afternoon off to
visit the army post and take lessons
in soldering.

Washington. March 26.-When the
house of representatives engaged in
it's annual drawing for seats at the
opening of the extraordinary session.
a favored few were granted the special
courtesy of being allowed to choose
their seats first without going through
the usual routine. A man has to ac-
cumulate an unusually prestige in order
to be permitted to join this select
party of the congressional chosen few.
Political power won't do it. Pull with
the speaker won't do It, Oratorlal
ability won't do it In fact nothing
will do it except. the possession of one
of few peculiar distinctions.
You must possess one OF the follow
ing qualifications in order to share in
this congressional courtesy u being
permitted to select your seat on the
floor of the house without drawing for
a number and without waiting for
your regular turn to come in the regu-
lar annual routine in waiting for your
name to be drawn from the conges-
sional hat.
The oldest member of the house In
actual years receives the first courtesy
The present session saw this honor
accorded to Nehemiah Day Sperry

will be 81 years old on the tenth day
