CHICAGO, September 29.-New light
was thrown on the suicide of Rev. Ar
thur w. Little, rector Of st. Mark S
Episcopal Church, in Evanston, last
night, when 1t became known that he
himself had been compelled to take
treatment in a sanatorium at Neshota,

ties writing desk read:
''2S Sept, 10.
something has broken in my brain.
Il told the doctor and the Slaymakers,
and they would not believe me. But 1t
is true.
"The wireless clothesline.- is broken.

The sentence, THE wireless clothesline
is broken" is unexplained.
HE was by far the finest Latin scholar
in the diocese" said Rev. w. T.. Sumner,
dean of the cathedral of Saints Peter
and Paul, land, in my opinion, one OF
the most refined. cultured clergymen we
had. Personally he was charming, a real
thoroughbred in everyday life.
II have seen a great change in him
in the last few years, since the illness
of his wife. I know he has been more
and more despondent Of late, though
never had any expectation of this shock
