tragedy. A letter bearing the s!r.il-
ture of each reads:
Death is the easiest wa cu.. Rose

Another letter, written by Dly. init-
Gated that he feared ha was to be
placed in a sanitarlu1l by relatives,
and this fear is believed to have heen
the cause of the suicide pact.
Statements issued By the young
mans relatives show that they nd op-
posed his infatuation for Miss Herring,
who was his senior by one year, both
because of his extreme youth ana the
fact that he suffered from valvular dis
ease of the aeart.
He came to Atlantic City with his
mother, aunt and grandmother from
Pittsburgh a year ago in the hope that
his health would be benefited. In Pitts
burgh he was a student at the Park
institute. and was afterwards asso-
ciated with a physician in Atlantic
City.
The young couple disappeared from
Atlantic City on Sept. 2, declaring that
they were to pay visit to a Mrs.
Hughes, on South Tenth street, Phila-
delphia. On Sept the girl returned
to Atlantic City but left two days
later, without disclosing the where
abouts of her youthful husband. Since
that time a search has been conducted
by relatives of each, but withou: avail.

REGIONAL BANKS
Currency Committee Decides to
Reconsider Reduction
CAUCUS THREAT RENEWED

Two Democrats and a Republican Go
to Wilson's Side Other Amend
ments Adopted.
An entire new lineup in the senate
banking and currency committee, Win
majority behini The admins; ra ION,
appeared when, ky q woe of 7 to o, the
com mittee reconsidered its acticn re-
duclng the number OF reg. .on1l .e9erVe
banks to four.
Senators Reed and O'Gorman, Demo-
Gratis, who had been voting against the
administration proposals, cast their
votes with the other Democrats. Sena-
! tor Hitchcock, Democrat, held out, but
Senator Crawford, Republican, Joined
the administration forces, and the
question was reopened.
Whether the new lineup would hold
through the vote on the resolution for
seven regional reserve banks was left
in doubt.
The administration won another
point when the committee voted to re-
tain on the federal reserve board as
an ex-offcio member the secretary OF
the treasury.
All of the amendments so far adopt
ed have been tentative only, and 1t
was believed that II this lineup held
all those amendments would be re-
considered and made more acceptable
to President Wilson.
Earlier tie Democratic leaders had
decided that, unless bill meeting the
approval OF the president Is ready by
next Monday, a caucus will be called,
the measures taken from the hands of
the committee and made party bill.
Senators Owen, the chairman; Hol-
lis, Pomerene and Shafroth, who have
stood steadfastly by the provisions OF
the Glass-Owen bill as 1t passed the
house, in the face of overwhelming
votes of the coalition, will prepare a
report which embodes the principles
of the administration bill, no differ

cratic Republican combination in con-

After this report Is completed 1t will

on the committee, Senators Reed,
OGorman and Hitchcock. who have
consistently voted with the Republi-
cans. II these three Democrats, or two
of them, decline to support the admin
istraticn bill in the face Of strong
pressure from the White House, the
caucus call is epected to go forth.
Enough Democratic senators have
petitioned Senator Kern, the majority
leader, to call a party conference 10
insure such a meeting. Kern has n7ti
fled all absentees to return to Wash
ington.
The committee made further i'm:
portant changes in the administration
currency bill, but these may be recon
sidered and the decision reversed.
It decided to l to strike the words
cor lawful money" from the bill wher-
ever they occur, thus making the re-
serve requirements solely Of gold.
Four Democrats voted to retain the
words cor lawful money" They were
the chairman, Senator Owen, and Sen
ators Hollis, Pomerene and Shatroth.
These four by repeated votes in sup
port of the features Of the house bill
have come to be known as the admin
;strstlon senators in the committee.
These words have been the ground
Of much complaint from the bankers
Of the country.

Hints
FOR FARMERS
The Horse In Sprinu.

The work horse demands a great
supply of water during the cropping
season. He gets hot sweats freely, SO
mukt necessarily utilize good deal OF
waV@ The water should be clean
and pure. IL 1t comes bubbling from
a spring or sparkling from II well. SO
much the better. Water from stagnant
ponds or hog wallows is to be avoid
ed. The farmer who leads his horse
to such place for water has lost his
kindness for the faithful animal.
Long before night the horse may
lag little Don't be cruel enough to
lash him to work. Let him go through
the day steadily and without excite
ment At night unhitcb him and put
him In a cool. commodious stall that
Is well bedded. 1t Is simply unpar.
donable for a man to demand that his
tired horse stand in muddy stall all
night long. The horse has earned a
right to a liberal feed and a comfort
able bed. II pays the farmer to keep
his horse In trim for work by giving
him a good place to rest
The horse should also be cnrried
regularly to rid his coat of all sweaty
matter and open up the pores of the
skin.
