 LONDON BROKER

London, July 21--The Athelstan Corn forth who committed suicide in New York yesterday is said to be identical with a London stock broker of that name, whose creditors, ignorant of his fate, met today ir the bankruptcy court
 Cornforth was man of splendid at tainments. He had been a clergyman, serving pastorates in this city and at Nottingham. He was married and leaves family.
 Some 25 years ago he left the ministry to engage in business. Beginning In a small way as an outside broker he built up a big patronage and during the South African boom the turnover of his broker age house was larger than that of any similar firm in London.
 But while he was outstripping his Tel lows in the street domestic worry preyed severely on his mind Last year his phy- sicians ordered him to take long sea voyage He sought recuperation by ab- senting himself from his offices, and in the meantime his business was allowed tc drift until today his affairs reached the bankruptcy court. His creditors met to- day, quite unaware that the bankrupt had taken his life.
 No statement of Cornforths financial affairs has been filed. but 1t is believed by his friends that his liabilities are not great

NO CAUSE TO RAISE
 PRICE OF PAPER

Washington. July 21.-Denial that there was shortage of pulp wood in Quebec such as to justify an in crease in the price of paper was made today by United States Consul Willech in Quebec in aN official report to the department of stake. The following sum- mary of the report was made by officials of the department.
 The consul states that there is not likely to be shortage in the future supply of the market in the United States because of the restrictions placed by the provincial authorities upon the exportation of pulp wood cut on crown lands He states that despite the pro- hibition of expectations of pulp wood from crown lands subsequent to May I, last, the supply on hand and which may be secured from private lands in the future would be entirely adequate to the demand and there need be no apprehension of shortage.

the turf. With Los Angeleno winning
purse after purse the young trainer
was able to lay the beginning of his
present large stable.
Bedwell has rightfully earned The
sobriquet of wizard" trainer through
his masterful handling of horses
which have been discarded by COM
petent horsemen as of no account. An
instance can be cited In Fulletta, 4
selling platter at the beginning of Iasi
season of the hopeless sort. He made
Fulletta one of the most consistent
racers of the Oakland meeting. Close
study of a horses disposition has been
the main factor OF Bedwell's success.
Il try to guess a horses tempera-
ment,' says Bedweu. There is no
set book of rules for training running
horses. You rarely find two thor
oughbreds alike in their dispositions.
Some would run themselves into the
ground in the workouts if you would
let them. Others sulk and refuse to
work, and there is much difference in
horses.
Il try different styles of training a
horse until | hit on the one that
brings the best results, and then |
stick to that. About the worst ex-
perience | ever had was with Fulletta.

watched the horse closely. however,
and decided that | would let him

ingly / told the boy to let him run as
far as he wanted to, and ii is well
known how Fulletta developed into
the most consistent horse at Oakland
last season. He would breeze of his
own accord from the eighth pole to
the far turn every day, and | think
that is the only way that Fulletta can
be handled. Every horse requires
the same deep study. and there is a
great deal more at the bottom of
training race horses than just simply

ing in the morning. It's hard work. e"

PAGERS. AT Grand Junction in 1898
Bedwell embarked in the business of
conducting livery stable with stor-
age and transfer business connected.
He was successful and soon built up
a lucrative business.
In Denver about five years ago The
real turning point in Bedwell's career
came about. He was out driving one
day with a son of Frank l.. Smith
when the horse threw n shoe. A
blacksmith shop was near at hand
and Bedwell stopped in to have the
horse shod. 1t so happened that the
blacksmith was Lucky" Bald win s
negro horseshoer and naturally the
conversation turned to discussing
horses. The negro told Bedwell a
hard-luck story about leasing out a
race horse to fellow for driving pur-
poses and receiving no money in re-
turn, and finally tried to sell the
horse to the young trainer.
Bedwell liked the looks of a. leng-
thy gelding that the negro brought
out and in the end gave the d2rkey
$500 and drove away with horse
trailing his buggy that afterward
proved a sensation in distance events
at Oakland. 1t was hos. Angelenp,
