DOOMED TO DIE, DOCTOR ENDS
HIS LIFE WITH POISON
To Make Sure OF Death He Mixes To-
aether All Deadliest Drug He
Has and Drinks Them. :,

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, July 29.-
I'm tired; want rest; want to be
alone.
These were the last words OF DR..
Edward c. Graves, Of Bridgeport, rs
he lay dying near his summer cottage
at Laurel Beach after having taken
a dose Of all the most powerful drugs
in his medicine chest. The doctor
was rushed in an automobile ambu-
lance to Bridgeport, where he died at
the Galen, q private hospital.
Fellow-members OF the medical pro-
fession worked desperately over him
but the powerful poisons which he
had taken into his system defied anti
dotes.
DIR. Graves suicide was brought
about, his friends believe. by the fact
that he was doomed to die soon and
choose to have 1t over at once rather
than wait quietly for his impending
dissolution.
About two weeks ago he suffered a
stroke of apoplexy. Calmly disagnos-
ing his own case. he concluded that a
second stroke would soon be due and
that It would surely be fatal. He con-
fided this to his friends, and, while
he showed no symptoms OF nervous
ness, his acquaintances believe that
his approaching fate preyed upon his
mind and induced him TO make away
with himself to end the nervous
strain.
Mrs. Graves, who Is Christian
Scientist, sought to eradicate her hus-
bands belief In his approaching death
and strove to convince him that
Christian Science could save him,
though his own medicines might be
powerless. The doctor resisted the
pleadings Of his wife.

papers In very prominent place:
MISS LESLIE CURTIS
announces to Mrs. Grundy and her
son Dow Ting Thomas, that she has

the opposite sex. All surmise, sus-

greater courage To be spfnsttr In

This announcement caused conster-
nation among the society folk OF
Reno, and the divorce specialists or
legal fame were exceedingly wroth.
IL had to do 1t IN self defense"
explained Miss Curtis,

CHASE OSBORN
MAKES BIG HIT
Sentiment for $500" Man Real Fea.
ture Of Taft Club Outing; Speech
Cheered To Echo.

The one feature of the North End
Taft clubs picnic at Tashmoo park,
Thursday, that stood out in bold relief
from the ordinary round of handshak-
ing and speechmaking, was the pro-
nounced Osborn sentiment, which be-
gem to manifest itself as soon as the
boat pulled away from the Detroit
doc kand continued throughout the
day, waxing stronger every moment.
In the grove, when men, women and
even the children joined In giving
him what was little short of an ova-
ton. His earnestness and his elo-
quence won the hearts Of all and the
burst Of applause that followed was
spontaneous and heartfelt
Mr.. Osborns address was not a
political harangue In any sense. II
was more In the nature of a heart-to-
heart talk between friends, and his
remarks were addressed to the chill
dren as well as to the grown-ups.

used to judge a man by the size of

him by the size of his girth, and

Election on anyone present with a
glance at Congressman Denby). Then
there came a time when the head
was the standard of measurement and
still later the mouth, and that is no
reflection on any of the men on this
platform. Now In these later days we
have come to measure men by their
hearts and the warmth of their soul
and believe that is the best standard
of measurement"
In concluding he said:
IF my candidacy makes for a bet
ter understanding between that great
north country Of ours knows as the
Upper Peninsula and the lower Sec
ton of our states I shall be happy.
And now may God bless every one of
you"
Mayor Breitmeyer was plainly net
tied at what he termed the audacity
OF a newspaper In taking a straw
vote on the mayoralty on the trip up,
which proved something of a Joke.
But 1t doesn't make any difference
I'll get all the votes In the end" he
added, confidently.
The mayor formally announced his
candidacy for another term In this
fashion:
'T am doing the best can to settle
the street car question. and I think
the public realizes It. I don't want to
be mayor OF Detroit all the time, but
would like one more term and | am

NEW PARTY FIGHTS

Convention Held by Pennsylvania
Independents Names Ticket and
Sounds Keynote for Reform.

PHILADELPHIA. July 29.-Wil
Ham II. Berry, OF Delaware county
Tor governor; ID. Clarence Gibboney
OF Philadelphia, for lieutenant-gover
nor; Cornelius ID. Scully, of Alleghen,
county, for state treasurer. and Johr
Casey, Of Luxerne county. for secre
tary OF internal AFFAIRS, Is the ticket
nominated by the Keystone party
formed here yesterday to oppose the
nominees of both the Republican
and Democratic parties.
The convention, composed OF III
delegates from 81 counties In this
state. denounced both the old parties
as being under the domination OF the
liquor industries. but refused TO In.
corporate in It's platform any refer
ence to former President Roosevelt
who was proclaimed by some OF the
delegates. 1.-THE greatest American
citizen"
The nominee for governor was for:
merly state treasurer, to which ofiits
he was elected by the combined DEM
ocratic, Prohibition and Independent
voters In the political upheaval o.
1905. While In ONCE he uncovered
the state capitol scandal. In the re-
cent Democratic state convention he
was defeated for the nomination OF
governor, but received 100 votes.
ID. Clarence Gibboney, the nominee
for acknowledgement has headed
the reform ticket In nearly all the re-
cent reform movements. In this city.
He has ben secretary of the local
Law and Order society for 20 years.
The preamble to the platform
adopted by the independents begins
with the following language:
Pennsylvanians are face to face
with the necessity for desperate
battle for the preservation OF rep
resentative free government.
A political trust managed by
cunning politicians threatens the
commonwealth.
Some OF the conspirators are
labeled Republicans and some
Democrats: but they are all in
league against the people and act
in harmony with one reasonable
purpose and under the orders OF
one head.
Their power Is based upon the
illegal and unwarranted use Of
public property and Office; upon
force, fraud and election crimes.
Police protected dens Of vice
are made to furnish enough IL
legal votes to overwhelm respect
able citizenship.
Both of the tickets nominated
and both OF the platforms adopt
ed. 1t ID we'll understood, were dc
tated by the same authority and
were intended for the delusion of
the voters and the further conflr-
nation OF the power of the politi-
cal machine.
The preamble calls on citizens to
join for the defeat of the political
partnership of the boss and the sa-
loon"
The platform advocates the elecs
ton of United States senators by
popular vote and calls for public
service commission similar TO the
one in New York state.

The last victim of negresses who

returned, but failed TO report the
matter TO the police, and the outside
party reporting the robbery failed 10

The man was a stranger in Salt

stranger, hack driver and the two
women went TO the grounds surround
ing the Latter-day Saints university.
--.--- Dery occurred.
The stranger carried a satcheI con-
tanning 500, which one of the women
snatched from his hand and started
for town. The hack driver, who had
not been drinking as heavily as the
stranger. darted after the woman
and succeeded in regaining the
satchel. which was restored to the
owner.
Friends then came to the aid of the
old man and he and his roll were
taken in where they could be watched
over until the effects of the liquor
were worn off.
