MILLIONS GONE,
THEY DIE BY GAS
Suicide Of Once Wealthy Swiss and Wife
in Zurich Explained by
Letters.

Zurich, Switzerland, June 20.-The
mystery surrounding the suicide on last
Thursday of Eugene Maggi reputed one
of the wealthiest men in Switzerland,
and his wife, has been cleared up by
the discovery among Maggi's papers of
a letter to his family saying that he
had been ruined financially and decided
to kill himself
Underneath this message, in his wifes
firm handwriting, was the following:
IL believed myself rich and ! was
happy. Eugene has just revealed to me
that we are ruined and announced his
determination to die. My duty is to fol-
low him in death. Adeu"
An investigation has confirmed the
fact that NJ. Maggi had lost his wealth.
When Maggi and his wife were found
dead as a result of gas asphyxiation,
it was believed that their suicide had
been prompted by the fact that, although
their wealth was estimated at 100000
600, they were greatly disappointed be-
cau"e they were childless Maggi was
the owner of extensive flour mills in
Zurich and other parts of Switzerland,
and had numerous other interests.

MAINE POTATOES LATE.
Usual Acreage Planted in Aroostook
County.-Poor Outlook for Hay.

Bangor, Me-. June 20.--State Dairy
Instructor +. S. Adams, who has just
returned from a tour of Aroostook
county. reports that while the usual
acreage has been planted to potatoes
this season the seed has been slow in
sprouting, owing to the unreasonable
weather. The crop, though late, if sur
viving the attacks of rust and pests,
ought to be one Of the best.
The hay crop viii be one of the
lightest in years, and in no place in
the county did Mr.. Adams see the
slightest indication of a good crop. Last
winter was so open that most OF the
grass, or seed was winter killed Early
in the season layer of ice formed over
the ground and on top of this came
snow, killing seed and grass. In many
places, if the seed had not been re-
sown, the crop will be a complete fail

UNIONISTS TO
SEEK DIVISION
They Will Press a Vote Of Censure
in the House of
Commons.

London, June 20.--The opposition in
the House of Commons is determined TO
press to a division its vote of eensure
on the British cabinet, in connection with
the scandals caused by ministerial trans
actions in Marconi shares, according to
an announcement made by the Right
Hon. Alfred Lyttleton. former secretary
of state for the colonies in the Union
list cabinet, at the resumption of the de-
bate yesterday.
He held that the apology made by
Attorney General Sir Rufus Isaacs on
Wednesday was too much qualified and
the impugned cabinet ministers had not
sufficiently clothed themselves with sack
cloth.
Premier Asquith, whose statement was
eagerly awaited, as his attitude was cal
culated to sway the votes of the lnde-
pendent Labor members and of num-
Der of Liberals, expressed keen regret
at the decision of the stories.
He said he had hoped that after the
speeches of the ministers concerned, some
general agreement would have been
reached by the House, but that hope
now was shattered. The parliamentary
inquiry having proved that the charges
had been considerably disproved, it
should have put in the forefront of its
resolution an explicit finding that the
cabinet ministers had been traduced.

the general manager, Clinton L. Bar

nouncing the methods used by railroad

years experience before being allowed

CARNATIONS protested and the rule was
changed to one years experience.
He said, THE general manager of

what is right and when, and he
should have power to enforce what he
SAYS. He cannot have that power il
railroad organization is going to
point pistol at him every time he
attempts to do something which he
knows from his own best judgment is
the right thing to do"

reached into the ranks and disloyalty

dination.
C. W. Martin, air brake inspector of
the Pennsylvania railroad, told that a
train such as the second
section Of the Springfield express would
not be allowed to leave the Pennsyl-
vania terminal as an express train.
He said the condition OF the car Cen
