BOY OF II VICTIM
STOCK MARKET
GAMBLING
Strain of 1t Drove Lad to Kill
Himself
HAD NEVER LOST MUCH
Young George Dobo Had Set His
Heart on Being Millionaire
at rs.

New York, April 25.-George Dabo,
a slender boy, who, according to his
friends, was about the youngest spec
ulator in Wall street, killed himself
early yesterday morning in the home
of his father, Leon Dabo, an artist,
at 1922 Hudson street, Hoboken.
Young Dabo was II years old but for
year is said to have been dealing
in stocks and bonds, buying and sell
ing on margin. He told his intim-
ates that he never met serious loss.
His parents say that the nervous
strain induced by his following the
stock market, was responsible for his
suicide, for several weeks ago. after
studying the market quotations the
lad developed melancholia, which
grew in intensity until he was ner-
vous wreck.
The stock transactions of young
Dabo were not unknown to his par
ents. In fact say those who knew
the lad well, the first money with
which young Dabo began his short
career as a speculator, he received
from his father. Just what stocks
Dabo dealt in, could not be learned
last night. Neither could the name
of his broker be learned, for the lad
father was loath to talk much OF his
sons speculations. While the boys
friends say he never lost in his stock
transactions they are inclined to
wonder why continual success should
Aaye driven young Dabo into melan-
cholla.
Mr. Dabo. the boys father, said
yesterday that his son had often told
him he expected to be a millionaire
before he was % years old. As to
whether the boy used system in his
deals Mr. Dabo said he did not know.
But Mr.. Dabo said his sons entire
life seemed wrapped up In the stock
market and he would follow the tick
er tape as though his whole future
depended upon the messages con-
corning stock prices which It con-
tanned.

Washington, April 25.-The exped.
ition planned jointly by the Peary
Arctic club of New York and the Nat.
ional Geographic society for the dis
covery of the South Pole has been
abandoned. for this year at least.
The Arctic club has given up the idea
and has notified Commander Peary,
who proposed II that II will be unable
to make the undertaking this year.
Lack of money is the principal
cause. 1t was estimated that $4,000
would be required, but to date only
about $4,000 had been raised and no
money was in prospect.
II some of the foreign South Polar
expeditions reach its goal this year II
is not probable that the Peary Arctic
club and the Geographic society will
attempt to carry out their plan next
year.
Various reasons are given for the
failure to raise funds None is ofiic.
ial but that most commonly mention
ed is the attacks In Congress and
elsewhere upon Commander Peary
and the reliability of his North Polar
