WOMAN To- SUICIDE
Ten Year Old Daughter the
First to Discover Her
Mother.
ACT WAS LONG PREMEOITATED
Police Are Summoned by Panic
| Stricken Girl-Inquest Has
Been Held.

Tripping home from school with a
song on her lips as she entered the
door of her home at Twenty fourth
avenue and Mass street, little ten-year-
old Josephine Mottick was a witness to
one of the most shocking tragedies that
ever took place in Gary, for upon open
ing stairway door, she found the
body of her mother dangling in the air,
with rope around her neck and sus-
pended from rafter.
The horrible sight, that will probably.
remain on the mind of the child for the
rest of her days, would freeze cold the
blood of the strongest person and as
pretty little Josephine ran out of the
door with a wild cry of despair. her
little body sank down upon the soft
sand and her heart was broken with
grief.
Neighbors Attracted.
Her cries attracted a number of
neighbors in the vicinity and, running
to the Mattick home they found the
cause of the child's grief. officer Peter
Jurie, who lives in the neighborhood
was summoned and he hurried to the
house and cut down the body in hopes
that the woman was yet alive. A call
was sent to the local police station, and
the police patrol, with Chief Martin,
Captain Catry and Drs. Harry F. Walsh
and W. F. Foulds, was soon at the
Mattick home. An examination proved
that the womans death had been in
Simultaneous. her neck had been
broken by the fall.
Upon the arrival OF the police there
was a pitifu1 scene. Little Josephine re-
fused to leave the house and be COM
forted.
MY poor mama, my poor mama. She
always said she would kill herself. Oh,
please don't let them take her away"
and her suffering was so pitiful that 1t
brought tears to the eyes of many of
those who stood by.

Balllnger Gives
His Definition of
Conservation
Says He Does Not Think Many People
Want to Steal Land from
Government.

KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. Aug. 1s.-In a
speech at dinner given in his honor at
Eagle Ridge yesterday, Secretary OF the
Interior Ballinger said that fidelity and
economy in the conduct OF business and
common sense in the handling or the
tountry's resources constituted conserva-
ton. Mr.. Ballinger said in part:
Every acre of agricultural land in the
United States is bound to be needed for
food products for our own people. The
time is past in this country when we can
skim the cream and ignore a system for
making the best use of everything we
have.
While, in the past we may have seemed
wasteful, we have also been progressing.
The time has now come when we have got
to be economical and we must use common
sense in the handling of the resources we
have. That lie all there is in conservation.
TT Is, l believe, safe to say then. only
small portion of the western people are
public land criminals and disposed to take
advantage of the federal government
Whoever they are. believe in tho rigid
enforcement OF the law"

Roosevelt and
Taft in Accord
on New York
Griscom, After Talk with Both, Says
Views Coincide as to State
Politics.

OYSTER BAY. Aug. Is.--No tidings went
forth from Sycamore Hill today at the con-
elusion Of the conference between Theodore
Roosevelt and Lloyd Griscom, chairman of
the New York republican county committee.
The county chairman is supposed to have
been the bearer of a message from Presi-
dent Taft and it Is generally thought the
message was sent in the hope of obtaining
Colonel Roosevelt's outspoken support for
move to obtain harmony within the re-
publican party. But when Mr.. Griscom
went away after q talk which lasted most
OF the day, the only thing ne was willing to
speak about was the New York situation.
He said Taft and Roosevelt were in full
accord in that regard.
In spite of Colonel Roosevelt's reticence
1t is believed here that he has mapped out
program which does not include for the
present at least definite endorsement of
the Taft administration. There is good
ground for the belief that the visit Of Mr..
Griscom, on his return from Beverly, has
not caused him to alter his opinion.
Mr.. Grtscom was not anxious to make II
appear that he had come to Sycamore Hill
as an emissary from the president. He
not only said that the president had not
sent him, but AIDED that Mr.. Taft did not
know that today's conference was to be
held.
How do the views OF President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt coincide in reference to
national politics?" Mr.. Griscom was asked.
The county chairman replied:
Il did not discuss national politics to any
great extent with President Taft"
Are they agreed as to the New York sit
uation?"
Yes; I have discussed candidates and
platforms, and the whole New York state
situation with both of them and their views
