Mobile, Aug. 31.-As the result of an
overdose of laudanun, taken acci-
dentally, according to Coroner Hirsch-
field, F. M. Cooper, aged So years, a
native of New York, was found dead in
bed at his home, 400 St Francis street,
shortly after noon Saturday. He had
been a resident of Mobile for about a
year and a half, coming here from
Pensacola, where he was one time en-
gagged as cashier of the Consolidated
Grocery Company. Previous to his
residence In Pensacola, he was for a
long time connected with the Alger-
Sullivan Lumber Company at Century,
Fla.
Mr. Cooper was in his usual health
Friday, but early In the evening com
planned of nervousness. He left home
shortly before o'clock for a drug
store, where he purchased an ounce
bottle of laudanum with which he re-
turned home.1/ Almost Immediately
Mrs. Cooper saw him put the bottle
to his lips and drink the contents, but
thought nothing of it, as Mr.. Cooper
had been in the habit of using the
drug in considerable quantities from
time to time, although not regularly
addicted to its use. He had taken,
she believes, as much on former oc-
casions when troubled with insomnia.
After taking the drug Mr.. Cooper
took seat on the front porch, where
he dropped into sluTnber and remained
until nearly midnight. When Mrs.
Cooper called to him, he answered and
entered the house, later disrobed and
went to bed. Saturday morning Mrs.
Cooper entered his room at 9 o'clock
and found him asleep and snoring.
Just before noon she again entered the
room. Cooper was still asleep. but
was brea thing lightly and Mrs. Cooper
saw nothing amiss with him. She
prepared dinner and sssnt her daughter
Marie to call Mr. Cooper to dinner.
The child returned Immediately and
Informed her mother that papa
doesn't look right to me-
Mrs. Cooper then entered the room
and found that her husband had
ceased to breathe A physician was
summoned, but Mr.. Cooper had passed
beyond human aid
The funeral will take place from the
residence Sunday afternoon, Rev. Gar
diner c. Tucker officiating. Interment
will be in Magnolia cemetery. Mr..
Cooper is survived by his wife and two
children, two half brothers, Robert and

attorney in New York, and other rela-

HAVING TROUBLE GETTING
HIS DISPATCHES THROUGH

WASHINGTON, Aug 31.-American
Minister Weitzel, at Managua, still has
difficulty getting his dispatches through
to the state department. A message
from Mr. Weitzel, received carly today,
was dated August 28. The minister
repeated previous statements that con-
ditions in Nicaragua were bordering
on anarchy.
While more American forces are now
beginning to arrive and others are on
the way. the state department is wor-
ried over the safety of foreigners be-
yond the lines of communication al
ready established. Particularly it is
concerned for those at Matagalpa-
Rear Admiral Southerland's rein
forcements are doing their best to
hurry the repair of the railroad and
telegraph.
More definite advices from Minister
Weitzel regarding the capture of am
munition by the government forces add
a great deal to the Importance of the
affair. It appears that convoy had
been dispatched from Granada. by the
rebel general. Mena, to General Baca,
commanding the rebel forces at Leon,
the second largest city in Nicaragua,
anu OH luc IL AO1hA AfAcNAie1o NSe ~
Corinto. The government forces at
tackled this convoy near FL Guayabal
and captured $4,000 rounds of rapid
fire cartridges.
AS the government had been little
short Of ammunition, this was most
valuable acquisition and the rebels
were seriously weakened because they
had no means of replenishing their
supplies. It will take many weeks to
get ammunition over the mountain and
Jungle passes leading from the east
coast, and 1t is certain that the Ameri-
can naval officers stationed on the Pa
cific side will not allow any to enter
from that direction. Minister Weitzel
expresses the belief that the capture
has probably lessened the danger OF
General Mena's threatened attack upon
Managua.
The revolution appears to be totally
disorganized and as Justifying the
statement that state of practical an
archy exists, the Salvadorean minister
at Managua, who has been fnterned by
the rebels at Leon for few days, de-
clares that General Baca and other
revolutionary leaders had practically
no control over the mob which pillaged
many stores and houses and destroyed
stationary property.

FRENZIED SWISS
SOLDIER AMUCK
Kills Four and Wounds Many-Those
Pursuing Him in Panic Shot Many
of Their Number.
BY Associated Press.

Berne, Switzerland Aug. 31.-A
frenzied soldier ran amuck last even
ing and transformed the little town
of Romanshorn on Lake Constance
into a miniature battlefield strewn
with dead and dying.
The soldier is a native of the town
and is named Swartz. Suddenly in a
fit of madness he seized his rifle and
shot everyone within range of the
windows of his house, killing four and
wounding six men in few moments.
He then barricaded himself in his resi-
dence. When night fell the house was
surrounded by armed police and citi-
zens among whom an hour or so later
panic broke out when they heard a
shot. The besiegers, under the i'm
preston that Swartz had come among
them, started firing and shot one an
other down until dozen Of them lay
badly wounded on the ground.
During the scare the mad soldier
escaped from his house and fed to the
forest, where he is still at large and
armed.

sy Associated Press.

Barre, VT, Aug. 31.-An appeal for
support of the Progressive state ticket
was made here today by Col Roose-
Welt.
Since I have been in Vermont" "
said Col. Roosevelt, II have been in
formed by thirty or forty voters that
they intended to vote for me in No
vember, but that next Tuesday they
would vote for the Republican or Dem
ocratic candidate. I wish to empha-
size that the only way you can stand
for the Progressive national ticket and
incidentally for me is to support Mr..
Metzger, the Progressive candidate for
governor, and the Progressive state
ticket next Tuesday.
"The election next Tuesday will be
watched eagerly outside of Vermont.
Here in Vermont you will, of course,
understand that your own votes in the
state election do not indicate how you
win vote in November, but outside of
Vermont they won't understand it."
