The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1913-05-07

Berlin, May 6.-French war,ike
patriotism and Russian Pan Slavism
are the ferments at work In Europe
against which imperial Chancellor DR..
Won Bethmann- Hollweg warned the
reichstag in his submission of the gov
ernment's bills for increasing the army
and providing new forms Of taxation
He stated that. although the govern
ments of France and Russia both are
full of good intentions, yet the force
of modern public opinion must be ap-
preciated, and Germany be prepared
to resist whatever military crisis
might come.
He considered extremely significant
the changes brought by the Balkan
war, which substitutes for quiescent
Turkey in southeastern Europe politi-
cally active Slavic states. This change
naturally would operate to Germany's
disadvantage were there to arise a
European conf1agration between Ger
manism and PAN Slavism.

EMPT|ED VIAL
AFTER THREATT0
TAKE HIS LIFE
JAMES WOOD TOLD HIS WIFE He
HAD TAKEN sTRYcHNiNE, AND
AFTERWARD SWALLOWED THE
FATAL DOSE, WHICH CAUSED
HIS DEATH INSIDE OF TWO
HOURS.

James Wood, 80 years of age, re-
siding with his wife and three
children at 1913 West LaRua street,
went home yesterday about noon
slightly under the influence of liquor
ard informed his wife that he had
taken a dose Of strychnine. Mrs. Wood
believing that her husband had swal-
lowed the poisonous drug, at once tele-
phoned for a physician and the police
Wood, however. had not swallowed
strychnine at that time but a moment
later, in his wifes presence, is said
to have placed a vial to his lips and
before the terrified wife could pre-
vent him, he had drank enough Of
the poison to resist all attempts to
save his life, which were made by a
physician who arrived a few moments
later, and within another hour and
thirty minutes he was corpse.
There was no inquest, the coroner
merely viewing the body and giving
death certificate in accordance with
the above.
Had Planned Suicide.
Wood had evidently carefully
planned the dreadful act Before
reaching his home after having spent
most Of the forenoon down town, he
wired the parents of his wife in Jack
sonville, telling them to come to Pen
sacola at once. This telegram was
answered shortly after Wood had died,
the parents replying that they would
come at once, and they are due this
morning. The name OF Mrs. Wood
was signed to that telegram.
Wood came here some time ago
from Jacksonville and for a while
worked on the electric cars. Later,
he secured a position as f1agman on
the q A iIroad which no
held until q few days ago.
