the report would be made to the two

higher rate placed upon them. Flax
and hemp were left on the free list.
The paragraphs relating to baggins

New Bern Man Found Dead
With Bullet Wound
HAD BEEN IN BAD HEALTH
Second Time He Had Attempt
ed Suicide-Found in Bed
by His Brother Several
Hours After Fatal Shot,
Especial TO The News and Observer

Especial 10 The News and Observer
New Fern, Sept. 13.-With a thirty
two calibre revolver clasped in his
hand and a gaping bullet wound in
his right temple, Adolph Roberts. pro-
prictor of the Commercial Printing
and Rubber Stamp Works, was found
syins dead in his bed at the home of
mis- brother, Will Roberts, No. 1872
south Front street, at an early hour
his morning, the self-inf1icted wound
having been made between the hours
of l and 6 o'clock.
Mr.. Roberts has for years been in
bad health, being afflicted with some
disease Of the blood, and constant
~trooding over this and probable bust
ness worries are believed to have been
the cause of his rash act.
Second Suicidal Attempt.
Once before during the past week
had Mr.. Roberts attempted his life
this was on Thursday night. Closing
mis- place of business Thursday after
noon he did not go home but in
stead remained in the building and
turned on the gas. His sister, Miss
Soma, who also resides at the home Of
will Roberts, thought it strange that
her brother did not come home to
MS supper, but finally came to the
conclusion that his duties at the Of
fee were such hat he was compelled
to remain there Until late at night
in order to attend to them. When
IN retired for the night, Mr.. Rob
erts had not made his appearance.
Upon arising Friday morning she
found that he had not been at home
"A riI thu tol I-A~ 80 -.
Of Mr.. Will Roberts she informed him
of his fact and he went at once to
his brothers place of business and
found him lying unconscious on the
1loor. and the place filled with the
fumes Of gas. He was placed in a
carriage and carried home as quickly
as possible and a physician summon
ed who finally succeeded in resusci-
Eating him.
Mr.. Roberts appeared TO be truly
repentant of this attempt at his Life
and promised that he would never
again make such an attempt If tht
samily would keep the affair a secre
and this they consented to do. H.
remained around the house all dur
ing the day and at night seemed u
be much improved and in a NOR
cheerful frame of mind.
Report of Revolver Not Heard.

stive that her brother did not xii
himself before that hour. During tn

covered that it was one Of his cherr,
trees that had been cut with som'
sharp instrument-either an axe or {
Ratchet or razor. Examining ont
Of the chips he noted that it had {
mark on it such as would have beer
made by a nick in the edge Of the
offending instrument.
| without saying a word to anybody
he brought the chip in his left coat
pocket and went into the house
through the kitchen door.
He found George in the parlor
chopping on the legs Of the grand
piano.
! Pardon me, son, for interrupting
you" said Mr.. Washington-for he is
very polite man. "but wish you
would desist for a moment and let
me run my eye over the edge Of that
Ratchet"
The boy complied with rather bad
grace.
Mr.. Washington looked closely at
the Ratchet and discovered a nick
in the edge that exactly fit in with
the mark on the cherry chip. He
was rather elated at this proof of his
Sherlock Holmes powers and was pre-
pairing to dramatically charge the
lad with the crime, when the latter
looked up and saw the chip in his
hand.
II see, pa" said he, that you've
got a chip from that tree I brought
down in the orchard this morning"
The confession took all the wind out
Of the charge the old man was go
ing to make against his offspring.
Upon being requested to furnish an
explanation of his act young George
spoke as follows:
"Of course I cut it down. And ]
had real purpose in doing it. You
wouldn't think that ! would go tC

''The fact of the matter is that when
I grow to be a man expect to enter
