SIS A WEEK man
ENDS HIS LIFE
Writes Note to Baby Telling
Of Losing in Fight For
Existence

Philadelphia, June Writing a
note to his 4-weeks-old child. whose
coming into the world had empha-
sized to the father the futility of
properly supporting a wife and child
on IS week salary, Benjamin
Fried, 26 years old, held a gas hose
in his lips today and ended his life.

In the house, who congratulated the
mother and father over such splen-

the note left by the despairing father.
The note reads:

There is 500 due your mother in

was brought by her neighbors and
turned a despariring face toward the
child in the cradle, left fatherless by
man who lacked the courage to con-
tinue the struggle for existence
against high cost of living as con-
trasted with small wages.
Neighbors say 1t was for no other
reason than that because he had to
fight to make both ends meet with
his wages Of IS per week as a tail
or's presser, which prompted Fried to
make away with his life. They had

ment Is Unchanged.

Washington, June 1.-Ex-President
Cipriano Castro of Venezuela has been
located at Lisbon by the state depart
ment. Upon learning his whereabouts
definitely. the sttae department cabled
the American charge d'affairs to ac-
quaint the Portuguese government
with the fact that the United States
has not changed it's view respecting
Castro, and that he would not be per-
mitted to organize filibustering ex-
pedition directed against the present
government of Venezuela. It is pre-
sumed that the Portuguese govern
ment will see that the neutrality laws
are strictly enforced.
This is believed to be Castro's sec
ond attempt against the Gomez gov
ernment in Venezuela. Some time ago
he reached Guasaloupe, having pur-
chased a neighboring island in the
Caribbean sea. The state department
reported the facts to the French gov
ernment and Castro was not allowed
to proceed in the direction Of Vene-
zuela, but was placed on steamer
and returned to Europe.
