Locket Containing Athletes Pic

Saves Girls Life.

NEW YORK, May 6.-Because she
believed her love for a Princeton Uni
versity football player named Simpson
was in vain, Miss Estelle Ryder, Of the
old family of that name of Ossining, Is
near to death today as the result of a
bullet wound, self-ilfiicted, at the Hotel
knickerbocker. Miss Ryder shot her
selft just above the heart because. she
said, no one cared for her-"not even
Simpson"
Miss Ryder is the only daughter of
Charles X. Ryder, of Ossining, and the
granddaughter of Bartholomew Ryder.
She is % years old, and was employed
as a stenographer by John w. Love-
land, of 149 Broadway. Her father was
notified by telephone of her attempt at
suicide, and at once came to the hos
pital
Miss Ryder explained when inter-
viewed at the hospital that she cared
so much for Simpson that his photo
graph, in full football regalia. was Ia
a locket hung by a gold chain about
her neck. AT, the time she fired What
she thought would be the fatal bullet
the locket was dangling next her heart,
and, according to Detective Goss, of the
- tittl Stt111 pOiACC otdllOiI, It
observed a sight lent in the upper
edge, made undoubtedly by the bullet,
and unquestionably causing it to take
an upward course, thus saving her life.
The bullet lodged in her back, and was
easily extracted.
Miss Ryder's identity was made posi-
tive by a party of friends from 497
Park place, Brooklyn, who visited her
after the police had tried to get one OF
her business friends to aid them. 1t
was suspected that she was Miss Ryder
and that the name Mrs. John w.
Snow, of Savapnah." under which she
registered at the Knickerbocker, was
assumed. She repeatedly told her ques-
TONERS at the hospital hat she was
Mrs. Snow, a widow. She is fair and
her eyes are blue-a typical Hudson
valley girl,
Miss Ryder, in her talk with a re-
porter, said she is sorry she did not die.
"And to think she said, II will have
to do it all over again!"
"There is no reason for that; you are
young and your friends are loyal to
you" she was assured
Il have no friends" was her answer.
Nobody loves me. l have lost my
grandmother, and am alone in the
world. Even Simpson does not care
any more"
"Who is Simpson,"
He is the Princeton football player.
He is my sweetheart" she answered.
Il want to diei l can gain nothing by
life and nobody loves me-"

Monthly Settlements.

Among the numerous important
measures that will DC passed upon by
