in her east side home late last night
by John Virgel, a boarder.. Virgel

a note saying he had Intended to elope
with Mrs Caruso, but trouble came
and they planned to die together
If the woman had thus planned, it
appeared to the police today that she
must have changed her mind, for
there were evidences of a desperate

walking in shortly after VirgeFs fatal
jump, gave one glance at the body
of his wife and then tried to throw
himself from the fire escape. He was
taken in a hysterical condition to a
hospital.

PROMOTION OF HEKO1SM.
Movement Suggested by President Of
American Cross Of Honor.

To make Americans a heroic people BY
encouraging brave deeds with adequate
rewards through a national organization.
in which tho cities and railroads OF the
United States will be represented. il the
suggestion made by Thomas 8. Herndon,
president of the American Cross OF
Honor.
LAS long as human nature is as God
created 1t the hope of reward will infu-
ence the minds and actions Of men," Mr..
Herndon said. Even nature stretches
forth her hands with the hope Of reward
therein, and natures God proclaims that
duty toward man and the Creator faith
fully performed shall be rewarded in the
after life"
An annual convention. to be held in
Washington, is proposed by Mr.. Hern-
don, when the medals earned during the
year can be awarded by the President or
some other high government official.
Promises of support, Mr.. Herndon says.
for the movement have been received
from the authorities of several large
cities and heads of number of railways.
and ne is confident of a rapid spread of
| the idea.
| AS one reason for the formation Of such
| q society he pointed to the recent action
of the District Commissioners in institut-
| ing the custom of awarding medals of
honor TO policemen and firemen doing ex-
ceptional work.

way up the coast. until the latter part
