ENGLISH PREACHER
COMMITS SUICIDE
His Body Was Found In Park With a
Bullet Wound In the
Mouth.


NEW YORK. July 21-The body of
Rev Athelstone Cornfroth, of Lon
don, England, was found in a lonely
part OF Colonial park with bullet
wound in the mouth. A revolver was
near the body. A photograph in his
pocket gave the address of English
friends on the back. The body was
identified in the morgue by woman
who claimed it under the name of
Edith Hall Cornfroth. No reason was
given for the suicide, which the case
seems to be. The preacher came
from England two months ago and lit
tie is known about him.
LONDON, July 21-Simultaneously
with the receipt of news from New
York that Rev. Cornfroth. now in
America, is Rev. A. A. Hail., had kill
ed himself in Colonial park in that
city, his creditors we're meeting in

The negroes and the Parr family.
lived In adjoining places. There had
been pickering between the two fami-

the little negro girl is said to have
taken an active part, even to the ex-
tent of warning the mother of the
white child to keep the little one from
the negroes yard, or something
would happen to her."
The last seen of the little white girl
was when she crawled through a
chicken-hole into the negroes yard.
Search was instituted. Finally the
searching party remembered the well
in the negroes yard. They opened 1t
and a water moccasin crawled out

ENGLISH STRIKE
BECOMES SERIOUS
Is Spreading to Scotland and Effectins
Other Lines of Busi-
ness.

NEW CASTLE, July 21.-The strike
on the Northeastern railroad today as
sumed such serious proportions that
efforts are being made to bring about
arbitration. Already more than 10000
employees have struck along the / ZOO
miles of line and the complete tie-up
of traffic has so effected all lines of
business that thousands of other men
have been thrown out of employment.
Five thousand dock workmen are idle
and ships are not being loaded.
The strike on the Northeastern rail
way is spreading to Scotland and al
ready 10000 men have quit work.
Many more have been thrown out of
employment.
A general strike throughout England
is now feared.

Maine Politicians Will Make Much Of
the Visit Of the Precedent
When He Reaches
Bangor.

BAR HARBOR, Me-. July 21.-Al-
though President Taft came to Bar
Harbor to enjoy the social life of the
resort he does not intend to let the
social side interfere with business.
The president let it be known that
Prof. H. G. Emery. chairman of the
tariff commission, will reach Bar Har-
bor today. He has just returned from
a trip of investigation in Europe es-
peciaHy in Germany. His investiga-
tions were directed mainly toward
obtaining basis for comparison of
cost of production here and abroad.
The president probably will see Mr..
Emery on board the Mayflower. He
wants to talk to the chairman before
he sees the whole commission at Bev-
erly next month 1t is understood that
Mr.. Emery's researches may furnish
ammunition for speeches In defense
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law in the
fall campaign.
. The Mayfower, with the president,
Mrs. Taft and their guests aboard,
dropped anchor off Bar Harbor short
ly before 3 o'clock. The glistening
yachts in the harbor strung out yards
Of pennants of every color and the
whistles footed a shrill welcome.
The president did not land until 4
o'clock. Senator Hale of Maine had
come over from Ellsworth to tain to
him about his visit to Bangor Satur-
day and that delayed the landing a
little
The president told friends when he
landed that the letter which Judge
Reynolds Kinkade of Toledo carried
from Beverley to Oyster Bay was
merely an Introductory message from
him to Col Roosevelt. Judge Kinkade
is an aspirant for the gubernatorial
nomination of the republican party in
Chic and was said to desire the in.
dorsement of the president and Col.
Roosevelt. The president told some
friends, that Judge Kinkade asked for
an Introductory letter and that was all
he got.
1t is likely that the Maine polite.
ians will make much of the presidents s
visit to Bangor. 1t became known
that in addition to Senator Hale, ex.
Governor Cobb, Ex-Governor John F,
Hill. who is vice chairman of the re
publican national committee; Repre-
sentative Edwin G. B .rleigh and BY
ron Boyd, chairman of the republican
state committee, will come over to
Bar Harbor to escort the president to
Bangor. Still it is said he does not
intend to talk politics publicly
The Mayf1ower party were guests
last night at dinner at the cottage OF
Mrs. Henry F. Dimock
The all year round residents of Bar
Harbor are sorry that President Taft
is SO popular with the summer visitors
So far he has devoted all of his time
with golf and dinners and receptions
will take the balance of his time. The
natives wanted him to make an ad
dress. but it is doubtful If he will dc
so.

Investigation of the Assassination Of
Railway President Comes to a
Sudden Close at His
Home.
| FAMILY INTERPRETED
Would not Permit investigation and
the Case Has Been
Dropped by The
Detectives.

CHICAGO, July 21.-Further police
investigation into the mysterious
shooting of Ira G.. Rawn, president
OF the Monon route, is at an end as
far at least as the Chicago police are
concerned.
After day of thorough investiga,
tion, the police announced that they
were through with the case. having re-
jected all theories of Rawn being kill
ed by burglars, hired assassins or
private enemy -
The only conclusion reached by
them is that Rawn took his own life.
The attitude Of the Rawn family
the police say, has been to hamper a.
thorough investigation. The police say
that no trace Of a second bullet can
be found and the bullet which killed
Rawn, fits his revolver.
Rawn's close business friends de-
clare positively that there was moth
ing in his business affairs which would
cause him to take his life. In rec
ord written Tuesday he asked for
transportation for his private car to
Cisco Lake where he intended taking
his family. They also referred to a
long postponed trip to Europe for this
fall
Rawn's son-in-law says it is utterly
impossible that 1t could be anything
else than a murder. Suicide is absurd
he said

Says Officer Of the Strike
In Sharp
Retort.

MONTREAL. July 21.-The news
out of Ottawa that the minister of
commerce and labor was busy trying
to get both sides of the Grand Trunk
strike together on basis of arbitra-
ton provoked Vice President Muir
dock of the strikers to sharp retort
Arbitration" said he, "is out of the
question. AS far as we are concerned,
there will be no arbitration. The COM
pany did not talk arbitration until
they had nagged the men to a finish.
Now, they want 1t. We will have
none of it."
Today the Grand Trunk gained
ground, but very slowly. More pas
senger trains were operated This af-
ternoon beginning was made to re-
store the local suburban service and a
couple of freights were made up and
started. Most Of the freight work done
was to put the yards in condition to
handle business later.
A warning was sent to the presi-
dent of the Delaware and Hudson
from strike headquarters. Complaint
had been made that his men had been
used for unusual purposes on the
Grand Trunk tracks.
