BROTHER TAKES BODY
TO READING HOME

Henry r. Counard, Of No. A. South

ments 10 have the body Of his

killed himself in the DUPONT Hotel

Reading Interment will be made In
the Charles Evans cemetery, that city,
tomorrow.
Mr.. Connard was about 80 years
OF age. and was a member OF e.
prominent family Of Reading His
death occurred shortly after Z
o'clock last night at the Delaware
Hospital, about one hour after his
body had been found in his room in
the hotel with gaping bullet hole IN
his right temple.
The body. which was discovered by
II. n. McSorley. room clerk at the
hotel. was lying in front of mirror,
which leads TO the belief that he was
standing In front of the glass when
he placed the barrel of the 3S-calibre
revolver to his temple. The revolver
was near the body. Connard was
unconscious and died without speak
ing Or. Meredith I. Samuel ordered
the body sent TO the Delaware Hos
'pital. where death occurred shortly
after o'clock.
Mr.. Connard was we'll known in this
city. and for two years was assistant
purchasing agent Of the Joseph Ban
croft and Sons plant He had not been
lat his place of employment for sew
loral days. He had registered at the
hotel on several occasions. and re-
mained two or three days each time.
HE registered there on Wednesday
might and spent much Of his time ye
lterday in the lobby, going TO his rooh
about o'clock. q was 6.45 o'clofk
when his body was found.
According TO the story OF Miss
Mary Thornton, proprietor Of d
[ rOomine house, at No. 1915 Adams
I street. Connard has lived in hei
house for just two years, occupyins
/ the best suite I'm the house. She as
serts that he was a man Of eXcm.
plary habits and spent PRACTICAL,
I every evening in his room. She adj
/ ded. however that he was troubled
with insomnia and repeatedly told
her that he had not slept more thar
two hours. u is believed that wan
of sleep he'd preyed on his mind unit
il prompted the suicidal act. Mis-
| Thornton asserted further that Mr.
Connard had told her some years agl
he had undergone a delicate opera
tion to his head. and this gave ris
to a second theory that the man wa
temporarily unbalanced when he sen
tho bullet crashing into his brain.

COPHERS into CANADA
More Than Nineteen Thousand Min.
nesotians Moved There During
The Year 1912

Washington, April 5.--According to
report from John G. Foster, United
States consul general at Ottawa, 49,
72O immigrants into Canada in 1912
went from Minnesota The total emf.
grafton from the United States to
Canada in the twelve months was
140, 143, SO that it is shown that
quite a large percentage of these
looked for suitable farms north of the
boundary, upon one inducement or
another.
In addition to those who went from
Minnesota. 9,671 immigrants into the
dominion were from North Dakota,
1O,547 from Michigan and 1887 from
Washington state, most of the latter
going into British Columbia and the
other western provinces.
The report shows that the total
immigration into Canada in the cal
endar year 1912 was 395,S04, an in
crease of Is per cent 1t does not
give the comparison of immigration
from the United States with the pre-
vious year, however, so that it is i'm
possible to say whether the passage
of the three-year homestead law by
our congress had the effect of re-
ducing the efflux of farmers from
the United States to the dominion.
