MOTHER. OF SUICIDE
 MAKES STATEMENT
Mrs. Annie HiIdesheim Says Her Son Killed Himself Because Of Charge Made By a WOman-Was Not
 Helpless Nor Dependent.

Mrs. Annie Hildesheim, mother of Henry Hildesheim, A years old, who shot and killed himself at the home of Cum Bridges, near Whitehall church in this county, last s Saturday, corrects an impression which was created through testimony given at the coroner's inquest held shortly af- ter the body was found
 She says that while her son was a cripple for many years he was not dependent upon anyone and made a living fer himself at all times. She says had he been dependent upon anyone his parents and other rela- tives would have cared for him. His rash act, according to Mrs. Hides helm, was not prompted by his re- ported helplessness. She says he was employed at the home of Bridges and that woman was the cause of his taking his life. Mrs. Hildesheim says her son told Mrs. Bridges that he would end his life unless she re- tracted a statement she had made about him and Mrs. Hildesheim says she attributes her sons death to the Woman's failure to do so. Young Hildesheim was sufferer from par alysis practically all of his life,, but his mother says that he did manual labor and was never dependent upon anyone

STAGNATION IN
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, May 24.-The stock
market dropped back into stag
nant state today in contrast with
the comparative animation of the
day before
The sailing today for Europe
of individuals who have been
prominent at times in the specu-
lation was hit on as an indica-
ton that they had been cleaning
up accounts yesterday prepara-
tory to this departure. The sell
ing pressure was no longer in
evidence today and the supply of
stocks for sale was much dimin-
ished.
Uncovered shorts had to ad-
vance bids to get stocks. The
tactics of the room traders to
move prices made up the days
market almost altogether.
The course of the international
exchanges afforded some relief
from the feeling on that account
Yesterday. The reaction of the
sterling exchange rate in Paris
was even more violent than the
abrupt advance of yesterday and
in New York there. was a reac-
ton also, which was much more
moderate. The private discount
rate in London at the same time
relaxed.
The belief was strengthened
that this movement was asso-
ment operations recently in prog
ress in the Paris market and pos
sibly also with the closing of the
bankers agreement in Paris re-
garding the Chinese loan.
Details were still lacking of
the placing of American bond is
sues in France and of any active
steps in renewal of the project to
secure the admission of United
States steel TO the list of the
Paris bourse. Both subjects were
further discussed and helped to
the firmer tone of stocks.
The approach of a London stock
sive influence in that market and
by reflection in this market.
The money market showed an
arrest of the recent downward
tendency of interest rates. but
without any marked change in
conditions.
The cautious feeling on the out
look finds expression in the dis
cussion of United States treasury
finances and in the possibility that
they may require a call on the
national banks for return of some
part of government deposits now
held. The decline in customs re-
ceipts, while conducting TO this
need. has another side in the in
dication afforded of decline in
the abnormal volume of the coun-
try's imports and the consequent
dislocation of the foreign trade.
Bonds were steady; total sales,
par value, s1.1O5,O0O.
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.
