Supposed to have been Respondent
over the difficulties of providing for
himself and family. Rev. John
Reeves, well known South Methodist
minister of this city, this morning
about $50 placed a revolver to his
head and sent bullet crashing into
his brain, death resulting instantan-
eously. He was found half an hour
later by his wife in the woodshed
where he fell, and neighbors were
summoned at once. The tragedy oc-
CURED at his home, sol West Webb
street.
Rev Reeves had risen early this
morning with the intention of taking
the o'clock train to Weston, his old
home, for the purpose of soliciting
life insurance. He built a fire but
left the room when his wife COM
menced preparations for breakfast.
When she summoned him to his meal
he did not respond and a search re-
vealed his dead body in the wood
shed, with a jagged bullet hole back
of the right ear. She had heard
shot fired by neighbors.
Glen Cannon, druggist at Keep
pens. who lives nearby, also heard the
shot but did not surmise that a ira
gedy had been enacted. He respond
ed at once to Mrs Reeves summons
and hastily called Coroner Folsom,
who took charge Of the body
Inquest Is Held
An inquest was held but the jury
did not attempt to fix the responsible
ity Of death. The verdict, signed by
Rev. y. Evans, b S. Waffle, Henry
L.aatz, Jack Webster and John F.
Hill, simply states that they had Eek
amlned the body and the circumstan-
ces of his demise and find that he
came to his death by a gunshot from
an Ivor Johnson 3S calibre revolver"
No one saw him die and his body was
not discovered until half an hour af-
ter death, and, while the jurors were
morally certain that he died by his
own hand, they did not wish to go
on record to that effect.
Left Seven Children.

Of Alaska through government owner
ship of railroads, ships and public
utilities, wharves and docks and
through the actual mining of Alaskan
coal by the government. all to be ad-
ministered for the benefit of the peo-
pie at large through board of con-
troll, was the plan outlined by Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin, today in
speech in the senate.
Declaring that every day makes
more evident the fact that the Ameri-
can people are waging a losing fight
n Alaska, La Toilette asserted it was
time for the government to take an
active hand.
He said: THE first step should be
the creation of adequate transporta-
ton facilities. The government should
own ana build these and the wharves
dicks and railroad terminals already
constructed should be acqu red by the
government Immediately. The gov
ernment should own and operate at
least one great coal mine, with which
to supply naval and military needs,
selling the surplus product at a rea-
sonable profit as a check against eX-
tortlon by private corporations, de-
velop,ng other mines
The sensible and practical thing
to do is to create board of public
works for Alaska similar to- the Isth-
mian canal commission.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN.
Customs Erigures for Inst Fiscal feas
Greatly Exceed All before.

The customs district Of Vermont has Just
closed the greatest fiscal year In It's his
tory Of about 100 years, so far as duties
go, and the month Of June. which
closed the year, was likewise the great
est month In the history OF the district.
This statement includes the days when the
Memphremasog and Vermont districts
we're one. The collections for June
amounted to the unprecedented sum Of
SOL. 560.H n gain Of $50, 9G6.17 over a year

the enormous amount of ST. 8. 1910 for o

~ sf50,0OO. or, to be exact. s43s, Go4.s2. All
OF the figures for June surpassed those Of
a year ago. while the foreign exports for
the year fell a little behind those of 1910.
Different explanations for the Increased
business have been advanced. BY some IL
Is attributed to the general prosperity of
the country, while others attribute IL to
the changed tariff. One fact. however.
cannot be denied and that is that the
enormous shipments of hay to the United
States from Canada rave had something
to do with II. Owing to the slim hay
crops in southern New England and the
middle West, Boston and other cities
south have proven an excellent market,
for the Canadians and train loads and
barge loads are continually crossing the

by far.
