TO END OWN LIFE

parent Reason Shoots Him
self With Revolver.
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL

Removed by Physicians-EX-
pected to Recover.

Charles Crownover, 90 years old,
attempted to end his life last night
at Z o'clock by firing a bullet from

The attempt was made in his apart
ments on the second floor of the
home, 4415 Fifth avenue, while
Crownover was alone in his rooms.
His brother, Manning, who lives
down stairs, heard the shot and
rushed upstairs. He found his
brother lying on the floor with
bullet hole in his chest and the gun
few feet from his reach. Medical
assistance was summoned from Mo-
line and the man was removed to the
Moline city hospital.
NO REASON APPARENT.
The bullet was found between the
collar bone and the first rib and as
the result of the operation. which
took place last night, Crownover's
chances for recovery are good. The
motive for the act is not known and
members of the family are at loss to
account for it as Crownover's health
was good and he has no financial diff
ficulties so far as they know
Crownover is married. He is en-
ployed as a painter at the Velie Car
riage works in Moline.

AFRICAN RAILWAY ENTERPRISE


The next four years will probably
witness great developments i'm Central
Africa. where British, Belgian and
Portuguese authorities are planning the
construction of two great loop lines to
the Cape-t Cairo system. The pro-
posed new railways will extend over
length of about 22OO miles and will
open up the whole OF the back Congo
country. Indeed the effect of part of
the scheme is practically to provide an
alternative route for the Cape Cairo
line over the country between the
Rhodesia. so that the railway would
run through the Bilgian Congo as well
as through German East Africa.
Sir Charles Metcalfe, who has Just
returned from visit TO South Africa
in connection with railway extension
in Rhodesia. explains that by the terms
of the recently concluded agreement
the Belgians had agreed to connect
their line from the Katanga with the
Portuguese line from Benguela (Lobito
Bay. One-fourth of this line $1,000
miles long,, was completed. and the
remainder might be finished i'm a year
and a half, if necessary. with its
completion the journey from Rhodesia
to England would be shortened from
one to two weeks.
