resident of Pullman, is lying in
the Pullman hospital with a deem
cash across his neck, nearly from
ear to ear, as result of an attempt
at suicide Tuesday morning, and his
residence at 610 High street is dam
aged to considerable extent by fire
as a result of his attempt to DESTROY
all his worldly possessions before
leaving this world. Both his efforts
toward destruction were foiled. how
ever, the first by the failure of the
would-be suicide to cut deep enough
to sever the jugular vein, and the
second by the timely arrival of the
Pullman fire department, which ex-
tinguished the incendiary flames
before much damage was done.
Bowley of late years has been en-
ployed as janitor TO rseveral bust
ness houses and office rooms, having
been incapaciated for heavy labor by
an attack of locomoter ataxia, with
which he was stricken 20 years ago
and which left him a cripple. For
nearly eight years following the at
tack Bowley was confined to his bed,
but later regained partial control of
his limbs and has seemed to improve
from year to year Ordinarily of
cheerful disposition, he was known
to be respondent at times because of
his great a1Iliction, and it was dur
ing one of these fits of melancholy
that he attempted to take his own
life.
Mr.. Bowley and his mother had
kept house together until little
less than year ago, when Mrs
Bowley died, and since that time her
sons respondent periods have come
with greater frequency He made
his regular rounds of office rooms
Tuesday morning and appeared in
his natural cheerful mood, but went
to his residence about 10 o'clock.
For several months the house has
been rented to Mrs. Frances j. Long
and occupied by Mrs. Long and her
children, and Bowley has boarded
with the family, also keeping one
aften 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
Mrs. Long, who was gathering vege-
tables in the garden back of the
house, smelled smoke and went to
the house to investigate. She found
smoke and flames coming from Bow
ley's bedroom and INN ediately
turned in the alarm of fire.
Bowley was found lying on
couch with his throat cut and
bloody razor lying beside him, and
confessed that the wound was self
inflicted and that he had also set fire
to the bed clothing. The flames had
not yet reached the couch on which
Bowley was lying and he was unin-
1ured, save for the cash across his
throat. The fire was soon extin-
guished and Bowley was rushed to
the Pullman hospital, where his
wound was dressed. The wound was
found to be only superficial and the
patient will be able to leave the
hospital in a few days.
Mr.. Bowley would give no reason
for his rash act except that he was
tired of living and preferred to die,
and protested when a doctor was
summoned, stating that he wanted TO
die and did not need physician.
The attempted suicide came as
great surprise to Mr.. Bowley's many
friends, who have always known him
as an agreeable fellow with a happy
disposition. He is pioneer of Pull
man, having resided here for 70
years, and previous to the attack OF
locomotor ataxia was employed as
salesman by Richardson e. Wilkln-
son in the Pullman Mercantile store.
He is about 80 years of age.

In an interview published here toda
she refers to the Derby incident, when
Miss Emily Wilding Dawson threw her
self in front Of the kings horse lin the
name of freedom for women.
MANY of the delegates to the interna-
tional congress of women now in session

with intense disapproval. says Nine

behaving as though they are insensate
Their impudent and dangerous demon
strations hurt the cause of womankind
There are in England, well as in
France, great numbers of feminiStS who
pursue their acts without employing va
rous eXpedients to attract attention.
Savor of Charlatanism.
Such tactics as those adopted by the
militant suffra gettes savor of charlatan-
ism and turn our cause into ridicule
They are our enemies.

national Council of Women said
I'VE condemn without mercy these sen
sational acts. The realization of the
ideas of Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst would
provoke a revolution of which women
