PLAIN SUICIDE, SAYS NOTE
The letter to the coroner said:
This is plairf case of suicide.
Blame no one for this act. not even
the publishing house which he refused
to stand by It's agent of 23 years"
Daniels was about 60 years old and
had been married for 25 years. He
had been connected with the Curtis
Publishing company for 23 years. He
had been Pacific coast representative
for over a decade. Mrs. Daniels is
Frustrated by the tragedy.
Daniels troubles started a few
months ago. when he was asked to
dispose of a Saturday Evening Post
route The party promised to pay
him $1,000 commission If the route
was sold for $1,000. Daniels sold the
route to a man named Bradford for
$1,000 and collected the first paymentt
which covered his commission. He
then let the matter drop, leaving col
lection for the original owner.
DANIELS ORDERED TO PAY $1,000
A month later the original owner
of the route demanded the full $1,000
from Daniels, and the purchaser de-
clared he had paid the money to DAN
iels. NJ E. Douglas, special repre-
sentative of the publishing company,
came to the coast to investigate and
says he told Daniels to sell no more
routes. He says Daniels must have
misunderstood him to mean he would
have to turn over the $4,000, which
he denied having received.
BEST THING TO DO, TELLS WIFE
The letter which Daniels wrote to
his wife was in part as follows:
Dear Love.
Rosa, do not anticipate that am
coward for writing this, my last
note, to you. / decided Saturday aft
ernoon when Douglas sprang his lit
tie game on me. that I was to dis
burse $1,000, all the commissions I
had made in FIVE or six years on
routes, to the Los Angeles party. He
said the company. including Mr.. Cur
tis, indorsed his plan.
$50 the best thing I can do, dear
darling. Is to leave this world Do
not, sweet darling, censure me too
harshly."

There is strong sentiment

upon the matter last night said that
the way wou d be open in case Gov

that the City OF Cairo could and
