Follows Murder With Suicide.

Bellport, ~ Y, Jan. 2.-Henry Z.

broker, shot and killed his young wife
in their home on Great South Bay to-

The murder and suicide was followed
some six weeks Mrs. Edey's reconcilia-

last summer.
Mrs. Edey's bedroom where the
tragedy was staged, gave evidence OF
violent struggle. Servants on an
upper floor were awakened by revolver
shots, and rushed in to find Mrs Edey
dead and her husband dying. She had
fallen in the doorway, apparently in
a futile effort to escape.
Mr.. Edey failed to recover con-
sciousness and died before doctor
reached him.

than her husband, left Be1lport last
summer and was gone until the latter
part of November. On the same train
which she took was young man with

About to Retire, Holds ldivided
Attention of Audience.

the senate and communicated to Gov
ernor Colquitt or Texas. his eXpecta-
ton being that r. NJ Johnston. of
Houston, will be named to fill out his
term, which would end March 4.
Senator Bailey's speech was an at
tack upon the principles Of the lnitia-
tive and referendum as institutions
which would if adopted. bring about
the overthrow of the present system OF
American Government. He declared
they originated in the desire OF poll
ticians to escape the responsibility Tor
action on such petty questions as to
the location of State capitals and the
settlement of prohibition lights. AS IN
stitutions OF government. he declared
the schemes for direct legislation by
the people would convert the United
States from a Republic into democ-
racy and would give its control INTO
the hands OF the unskilled, the idle
and the vicious.
