Driven to Distraction by tho Escape
of his Afflicted Wife From
sanltarIum at
kenosha.
Said the Wireless Was Broken In His
Brain and His Last Thought
Was Of His
Wife.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-Driven to dis.
traction by the escape Of his wife from
the Pennoyer sanitarium at Kenosha.
where she had been under treatment
for several years, DR., Arthur w Lit
tie, rector of st. Mark Episcopal
church, Evanston, shot and killed him
self yesterday afternoon at the rectory.
1901 Ridge avenue The body was
found at $40 O'Clock by Mrs. Slay-
maker, senior warden of the church,
who, with her aged father, H. 8. slay-
maker, had been living for some time
in the rectory endeavoring to provide
for their beloved pastor the comforts
of real home.
Dr. Iittle's body, when found, was
lying on the floor OF the attic. A re-
volver lay nearby, and bullet hole
in the head explained the manner of
death. Apparently he had expired In
stantly after firing the fatal shot.
He had been dead some time when the
discovery was made-probably an
! hour or more.
No one heard the shot, and the dis
oovery was made only when Mrs.
Slaymaker, who for several days had
feared that DR.. Little might collapse
completely, became alarmed by his
continued absence and went in search
/ Of him. He was alive little more
than two hours before the body was
found, however, one of the members
OF his parish having called him up at
that time by telephone, and receivisg
rational and apparently cheerful
v answer.
The exact cause of DR.. Little's sui
eide was not known until later in the
evening when w. S. Powers church
vestryman and the first member of
the congregation to reach the house,
found In writing desk in the doctor s
. study note, almost unintelligible,
which, SO far as 1t could be decipher-
ed read as follows:

Something has broken in my brain

they would not believe me, but 1t is

Have Half Dozen or More Candidates
for Governor at the State
Convention Held In
Rochester.
oDAY HE LEFT A NOTE
OPENED UP TODAY
Tammany Leader Has Everything
His own Way But Refuses to
Tell What's
Coming.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Sept 29.-l
These are the candidates in the field
today for the democratic nomination
for governor, and it is probable the
names of most of them will be sub
mitted to the convention:
James S. Havens, Rochester,; Thorn
as S. Osborne, Cayuga; Edward M.
Shepard, Brooklyn; William Sulzer,
New York; Justice James Gerard,
New York; Martin Littleton, Brook
lyn; John A. Bensel, New York.
The choice rests with Charles F.
Murphy, the Tammany leader. He is
the real state leader and it is ad-
mitted that the candidate he decides
to support will be nominated He has
at least 1876 votes behind him from
New York, Kings, Queens and West
chester counties, and can also COM
mand the votes of the delegates from
Chemung, Cattaraugus, Warren,
Dutchess and Chenango counties,
which will mean that he will have
more than majority of the votes OF
the convention.
Murphy, however, refuses to make
the slightest intimation as to the can
didate he is likely to support. He Is
taking the stand that this Is not a
year for individual preferences, and
1 that the candidate to be picked for
action by the convention should be the
/ choice of the majority of the leaders
of the convention.
4 The declination of Mayor Gaynor to
j accept the nomination was unexpected
i by Murphy, Norman E. Mack, William
4 ]. Corners and other leaders who have
/ reached Rochester.
j Murphy is understood to have seer
j Mr. Gaynor as late as last Saturda.
4 and at that interview the mayor sait
4 nothing to dispel the impression thai
while the mayor was not seeking the
nomination, he would take it, or a
least would seriously consider 1t, i
the convention to open here toda,
should name him.

I and handed copy of the letter tt

of messenger for Mr.. Gaynor
After sleeping over the letter a goot

think that the Saratoga convention

IS SALVADOR
OFFICIALLY DEAD?

Vienna, August 6-(Special.) 1.-THE case
of Archdulke johann Salvador, the ro-
mantle John Orth is again before the
public. This time, however, he has not
been rediscovered, but his heirs have
petitioned the Austrian counts to de-
clare him officially dead so that his
estate, now valued at something like
$5,000.OO0 may be disposed Of The appli-
cation to presume his death has been
made in the imperial court at Vienna by
the Archduke Joseph Ferdinand, one of
the nephews of the Archduke Johann
Salvador. The court directed a post
ponement of the application for a pc
Rod of six months, in order to permit
the filing of any proofs that Johann
Orth was still alive. The Archduke
Johann Salvador, son of Leopold H.,
Grand Duke of Tuscany, and an arch
duke of Austria, was born in 1852.
In 1889 he met Milly Stubel, the beauti-
full daughter of Viennese tradesman,
who was appearing as a dancer in the
Royal opera. The archduke was smitten
with love of the dancer and was re-
solved to possess her, whatever sacri-
flee it might involve. For a long time
the girl did not suspect the rank of her
lover. But at length the secret was re-
vealed to her. He professed himself
willing to marry the woman of his heart.
This, of course. meant a breach with
the Emperor Frances Joseph and the
sacrifice of his country and all his
social prospects. He decided to begin
life afresh and throw his birthright to
the winds. He married the lady of his
choice In London register office and
