AGED MAN sTRANGLEs HIMSELF
CHILD SEES WOMAN LEAP
INTO RIVER.

Minneapolis. Mimi. May 2.--When
Mrs. Adolph Massauer, 1924 Sibley
street northeast, called her husband to
dinner yesterday, there was no an
swer from the bedroom where he had
retired to sleep early in the day. Mrs.
Massauer entered the bedroom and
found her husbands body tied by a
rope around the throat to a.. bed-post.
Coroner Gilbert Seashore. declared
Massauer has taken his life by pull
ing against the rope until he was
strangled. He was last seer alive by
his daughter, Augusta, who had car
ried him a glass of water before he
was supposed to have fallen asleep.
He was 81 years old.
While Irene McDonough, 8 years
old, watched her, Mrs. Rachel Rosen-
blum, wife of Moses Rosenblum, 340
East Fairfield avenue. st. Paul, waded
into the river near the south end Of
the Rock Island railway bridge at 5
a. m. today and drowned herself. The
woman walked about twenty feet into
the water and then plunged headlong.
The childs outcries attracted the att
Itention OF Tony Ross and John
Weaver, fishermen, who recovered the
Wonan,s body soon afterwards. Mrs.
Rosenblum was 81 years old, and had
been suffering from melancho1ia.9She
is survived by her husband. who is
proprietor Of a small bakery at the
family home, a son and daughter.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
EARNINGS INCREASE
REVENUES FOR LAST NINE
MONTHS SHOW GAIN DESPITE
HEAVIER EXPENSES.

New York, May after appor-
toned charges, Northern Pacific earn
ed Just about Z per cent on its stock
in the nine months ending March 81.
In the same period the company's
final surplus, after ~deducting nine
months dividends, was over 100000
better than for the corresponding
nine months Of 1912.
March with a IA per cent increase
in gross earnings. was considered ia
good month by the management
despite the fact that higher expenses
brought net earnings down to within
$4S,184 of last years figure. On &C
count of the heavy eastbound lumber
movement, Northern Pacific's empty
care mileage. w~estbound, is large and
tends to raise the transportation
costs.
This impetus in lumber traffic is
of comparatively recent origin. For a
long time the lumber trade. in the far
northwest was quiet and at times duh.
The first of the present calendar year
then lumber car loadings have shown
pleasing increases. This traffic is
long haul and forms a very important
part in Northern Pacific's freight
tonnage, constituting as it does, about
80 per cent of the total. At the pres
ent time there is no compromising
movement of Westbound freight to iii
the cars which are needed on the coast
to take care of the timber shipments.
Aside from the increase in gross
earnings, Northern Pacitic's close at
tention to maintenance work and the
beginning of a liberal programme of
repair work have featured the year.
OF the nine months gain of ST. sos, 941
in gross earnings, about so per cent
has been consumed by higher ex-
penses. The more liberal outlay for
maintenance accounted for $685. 900
of this increase in expenses. Larger
transportation costs accounted for
most of the rest. Taxes were $685.
931 higher than last year in the nine
months.
Northern Pacific officials say that
the general outlook for business is
fair. April earnings will show some
thing of an Increase. but expenses for
April, May and June will be higher
because maintenance work is being
pushed in every direction.

Minneapolis, MINI, May 2.-Tnree
burlye burglars, wearing striped
sweaters, entered the bedroom of Mat
thew Johnson, in a rooming house at
113 First ovenue north, early today,
pulled Johnson from his bed and took
a money belt containing $3.50 from
his body. according to the police.
Johnson declared the largest of the
three burglars lifted him from the bed,
when he denied he had any money,
stood him on his head and threatened
to beat him unless he surrendered his
money. The fellow tore off the, belt,
pulled Johnson's ears and twisted his
ankles, in an effort tic learn the
whereabouts of other money Johnson
was suspected of having, it is said.
While the leader continued his tUrtur-
ing tactics the other two men searched
the room, overlooked $26 in the pockets
of a pair of trousers. Detectives
John Slavic, William Fox and James
Bezanson responded to Johnson's mes
sage to the police, but the men had

Speculative Gossip.

chicago, May "A great deal of
beArtsh. sentiment was noticeable
among wheat traders last night, so
much so that. it caused the remarked
by, conservative people that should
anything happen to the crop there
might be a sharp advance One of
the sharpest of the pit traders said,
however, It is hard to bull the new
crop months without a crop scare"
The long interest has been reduced
somewhat of late. Traders called at
tention to. the efforts to bull the
market for a week, with Indifferent
success. and were inclined to look for
lower price today should good rains
come in Kansas and if foreign
markets show a decline. It is said
by those who know that the recent
heavy selling of corn by the Armour
Grain Co. has began to take profits
on their purchases of the past two
months. They made a good turn when
every n in the trade was against
them, and are getting. out with a
break of only 2 cents from the high
point, dispite their large sales for
nearly two weeks past. Bears are
talking a larger movement, while the
bulls regard the situation as one in
which there is little money to be made
on either side for the present. They
believe that corn is worth the money
and do not look for much change in
prices until some new factor develops
of sufficient Importance to largely in
crease trade either way.

Head Of Family Defined.

For the guidance of the state tax
commission w. r. Stevenson. assist
ant attorney general, yesterday Of
f1cially defined the head Of a family,
The commission wanted the informa-
ton, as the last legislature provided
an. exemption of 500 from the tax
assessment for the head of each
family. The assistant attorney general
said the head of the family was the
one who managed and controlled the
affairs Of the family and upon whom
the other members, not including
servants and employees, depended. The
husband father is primarily the
head of the family, but if the husband
was either dead or disabled, 1t might
be the mother, or in some cases a
brother. Many people are under the
impression that this 500 exemption
applies to each member Of the family,
but it applies only to the head.

less a good deal can be done at the

done to retard the discharge sof water

complaints that there were continued

catch the men violating the statutes.
