SUICIDE WAVE SWEEPS RUSSIA
 DOZEN A DAY
British Scientist, Long Resi- dent There, Tries to Elk
 plain Muscovite Madness
Especial from United Press.)

London March 3O.-''The Muscovite mind has a clear vision of the appar- ent uselessness of life, coupled with a contempt for wealth, death, suffering and everything else which attracts Or defies ordinary men. This Muscovite Czar a spirituaIist who talks to his dead father. It makes wealthy Rus sianS gamble away their estates in a single night. It gives a peculiar tinge to the genius of Tolstoy and almost all other Russian writer's
 This is the statement of Francis Me Cullaugh, a Briton long resident in St. Petersburg, a man of sciences a Rus sian 1inguist and a close student of Russian idiosyncracies, in attempting to explain the suicide wave that is to- day sweeping over Russia.
 McCulIaugh is only one of many European scientists of a medical turn who are studying the latest pheno ena. Suicides of sufficient importance to be noted in the press average a dozen day and have averaged this for a month.
 that the manifestation is no new thing but that there is something fun damentally queer in the Russian character which outsiders are only just beginning to notice, through the opening of freer communication with what was until quite recently almost an unknown country.
 McCu1Iaugh tells many strange stor- ies of what he calls national mad ness in endeavoring to account for the bizaare type of crirninality reveal ed in connection with the trial at Ven ice of the Russian student Naunoff, the Russian lawyer Prilukoff, the Rus sian Countess Tarnowska and the French maid, Perrier, for the murder of the Russian Count, Kamarowsfi.
 With some Russians McCulIaugh says, this mania takes the direction of religious views which could never possibly come into an Ang1o-Saxon's head. With others it takes the form of crimes so outrageous, preposterous, original and extravagant that nobody else would ever think of thern.,,

ROOSEVELT BIDS ADIEU
 TO EGYPT AND SAILS FOR
 NAPLES THIS AFTERNOON

Alexandria, Egypt, March 30.-Col Theodore Roosevelt bade farewell to Egypt this afternoon when at o'clock after a fast trip by train from Cairo, he and his family sailed aboard the Prinz Heinrich for Naples, where they will arrive on Saturday.
 Just before going aboard the vessel Khedive at Cairo thanking him for the many courtesies extended to the Roosevelt party during it's stay in Cairo. Another telegram was sent to the Sirdar, General Sir Francis Regi- nald WinEate.
 More than a score of telegrarns were received by the Colonel here, the most prized one being from Sir E1don Gorst, the British agent in Cairo, who, in the name of both Egypt and England, thanked the Colonel for his visit, ex- an incalculable benefit to the people of Egypt.
 Most of the te1egrams expressed re- gret at the Nationalist demonstration Of yesterday and assured Roosevelt that the best element of the people wholly disapproved of this outbreak. Roosevelt's last speech to an Egyp- tian audience was delivered at Benha, this side of Cairo. The boys of the Benha Mission school carrying a huge American flag, lined up at the station and Roosevelt spoke to them for five minutes. He expressed the hope that Egypt, regardless of denomination, might materially aid in the country's uplift. stBut you must all work to- gether,'' he told the boys, mot letting religious controversies or strife inter fere with the chief aim of your york;

KEARNEY NOT SUICIDE, SAY
 HIS FRIENDS
They Argue His Death Re suited from Accidental
 Manipulation of Gas Cock
Catholic Burial Given Him Duties Called Him to Take Care of Gas Main As Well As Several Jets.

Friends of Thomas Kearney, Jr, whose life1ess body was found in his sleeping quarters in the rear of the Pembroke Laundry, Madison avenue, Monday. morning, have come to the conclusion that he was accidentally asphyxiated. So conclusive was their proof of his dying accidentally instead of by his own hand, that the deceased was today accorded a high mass of requiem in St. Augustfne's church, a privilege denied to suicides by the Catholic church.
 Kearney was barnn1an. Part of his duties was to turn on the gas in the barn, which is controlled by a large and by smaller cocks at the various jets. Frank Berger, one of the firm that employed Kearney, is convinced, as well as Kearney's relatives, is con- vinced that he first turned on his own jet, on preparing to retire, and found the main pipe.
 He believes Kearney then left his sleeping quarters, turned the gas on at the larger cock, and returning to his bedroom, forgot that he had left the left open and unlighted, and re- tired never to wake again.
 The funeral was held from the home of his sister, Mrs. P. J. sTierney, 235 James street at 8:30 this morning and St. Augustine's church half an hour later. Rev. Father Mccormack sang a high mass of requiem. The services were largely attended. Many hand some floral pieces were in evidence John Foley, James Reddy, John No Ian, Patrick Heavey and John Han nan. Intern1ent was in the family plot in St. MichaePs cemetery.

.EMPHYSEMA THE UNUSUAL CAUSE
 OF LADS DEATH
Medical Examiner Knows of But One Other Case
 On Record Here
Boy Became Monstrous Size

Acting Medical Examiner c. c. God frey found upon examination of the body of little Louis Barnbaurn, aged 5, who died at St. Vincent's hospital yes terday two hours after a fall from his VeIocipede. found that death was due to a. very unusual cause, known among medical men as ennphysema.
 In falling from his vehicle. the child sustained a rupture of part of the windpipe. This allowed the air to pass instead of into the lungs through the tissues of the body and beneath the surface of the skin.i The air be- came diffused through the cellular tis- sues and passed to all parts of the body.
 Swelling first about the head and throat, the body became dfstanced to several times it's normal size, assum- ing the appearance of a monstrosity, before death occurred to relieve the Child'S suffering.
 The boy retained consciousness up to 10 minutes of his death, while the medical men, puzzled by his strange appearance, were unable to do any thing to prevent the continued dis semination of air throughout the en- tire body.
 pr. Godfrey said he knew of but one other case of the sort in this city, which was recorded at the Bridgeport hospital several years ago.

 Cairo, Egypt, March 3O-Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt and his family left Cairo at 9:45 this morning for Alex andr1a. They will sail from the lat ter city this afternoon for Naples where they are due to arrive Satur- day.
 There was no reminder today of yesterdays unp1easaptness when Q. great crowd of Nationalists made a in front of his hotel. The station was filled with friends of the Colonel, in- cluding Consul General Iddings, Min 1Ster StrauS and others prominent in the political and social life of Cairo
 Just before going aboard the train Mrs. Roosevelt was given a large bouquet, a remembrance from the Khedive. For fear that Colonel days demonstratfon, a number of high officials sought to impress upon him that the affair was responsible to the Nationa1ists and there was no best people. MT. Roosevelt only laughed at their efforts, declaring that he fully appreciated just what the demonstration meant and looked up- cident in most interesting visit
 'fI only hope there will be no fur ther unpleasantness, said one of the officials. There is much speculation in official circles as to the effect of MT. Roosevelt's visit and the events of the next few days will be awaited with the keenest interest. From Sir EIdon Gorst, the British agent, down, officials fear that the Nationa1ists will make much capital out of MT. Roose- velt's address and that it will have the reverse effect from what the au- thor intended.
 An unusually large number of Ma tionalist meetings are being called for the near future.
