THE PADE IS TOO FAST

1t is an appalling story of tragedy
and sorrow the nearly $4,000
suicides in this country last year
revealed. Looking at its figures
only it is worth noting that they
about equal the total number of
deaths caused by war and rcyolu-
ton last year in the whole world.
That is made all the more sug-
gestivc when one remembers that
there were revolutions or outbreaks
in Portugal, Brazil. China. Mexico
and Central America, to say no.
thing about other places.
But even more poinotcd is the
light these suicides throw on the
causes that led so many people to
tire of life and end it. Insanity,
domestic urhappincss, i'll health
and many other causes are given.
But looming are above all others
was dependency with its 6,673
victims.
Amricans are supposed to he a
happy, cheerful people, optimis site
in the extreme. The conditions of
life arc probably better than in any
other country. and yet the .ad fact
stands OUT that 6,673 people com.
mitted suicide because they were
respondent.
1t is not possible of course, to
know what in all cases led to that
dependency, but not unlikely it
was the too rapid pace of life that
most people follow. 1t has been
we'll said that "it is not the miles
we travel, but tie pace that kills. I"
In the mad rush for health by
some people. and the equally mad
rush for pleasure by others trerc
is that which is bound sooner or
later to produce the reaction re-
vealed by jadcd life, unsatisfaction
and shattered ne rvcs, and then too
frequ emily comes the pistol shot or
poison, and the newspapers record

THINK Fright KILLED SAMMY.
Boy Who Hit Him. Perhaps After Death.
COnfcSses When Arrested.

An Irish boy. James Frawley Of 81
Monroe street. was arrested last night
and admitted that he struck Samuel
Mandelstand of IA Cherry street. who
died after a quarrel with three other
boys in a candy store at 63 Market street
on Saturday afternoon. But the story
he told strengthened the idea that was
in the minds of the police and Coroner
Winterbottom. TWAS that Sammy didn t
die from the blow. that he died from
fright.
The Jewish boy was a scapegoat in the
neighborhood and he was accustomed TO
run for shelter into the candy store Of
Hyman Green. He was pounded with the
fists of the three boys when he woudn I
give them cent for ice cream. Then.
SO Detective Blaher learned yesterday
Sammy saw Frdwley coming into the
store with wooden club. Sammy fell
! to the floor and as he lay there Frawley
hit him twice. But it is believed that he
was dead before he was struck.

his father at 80? Broome street and trudged

Vincenzo is the only boy Of the Ave

The grocer said that the letters de-

they knew the grocer had money and they
added that he was aware Of their knowi-

WHY WALKER DIDN'T SPEAK.
Congressman Gardner Dlames His own
CIumsincss AT Taft's Departure.

BosToN, Aug. 2s. 2s.-Congreesman Angus.
tus p. Gardner. coadjutor with Senator
Lodge in the mana cement Of the Republi-
can machine in Massachusetts, blossomed
forth to-day in an effort to explain the
apparent "gagging" Of Speaker Walker
at the Essex county Republican powwow
Saturday. He says IL was due to his "un-
intentional clumsiness. but shares this
fault with President Tafts departure
Immediately on the conclusion OF Senator
Lodges speech. Had the President
stayed a short time longer Mr.. Walker
would have had the opportunity to talk.
and ,wo of the candidates for the Re-
publican nomina ton for Governor would
have been heard as Lieut.. Gov. Frothing-
ham got in anyhow.
Mr.. Gardiner explains the matter in
this manner:
THE fact is that the circumstance
aross solely from my unintentional clum-
sin6ss and from no one else's.
AS originally planned by the Essex
Club committee the speakers were to
be Mr.. Lufkin, toastmaster; Lieut.. Coy.
rockingham. myself. President Taft.
Speaker Walker. Norman H. White and
Senator Lodge. in the order named.
did not believe that an out door audience
could be retained attentive on their feet
while seven speakers were listened to.
Il therefore suggested that MIR. Luf-
kin's speech and my own speech should
be entirely cut out. which was done. l
also suggested that the two principal
speakers should follow each other before
the candidates for Governor were heard.
Consequently II was arranged that Speaker
Walker and Mr.. White should follow Sena
tor Lodge. MIR. White was not we'll
enough to attend, but he sent most cor
dial telegram of congratulation to the
Essex Club.
Immediately after Senator Lodge had
spoken. President Taft arose to go home
AZ he left the speakers stand Mr.. Lufkin
turned to bid him good-by and the crowd
dispersed from the lawn in front Of the
platform, gathering on the avenue to
salute the President a. he drove away.
For several minutes | did not realize the
situation "a | was engaged in seeing the

that the Speaker had just cause for his
