Coroner and Doctors Agree
That Stedman Was Suicide

GREENWICH, Conn, Feb. 12.-
Coroner Phelan, of Bridgeport. at the
end of an inquest that lasted all
afternoon and into the night, rem
.dered a decision last night that Will
4am A. Stedman committed suicide In
the cellar of his home here last Sat
urday morning. The coroner found
that the man had killed himself by
driving the hammer head of Ratchet
into his skull, and then, to make
death doubly certain, had taken from
his pocket a penknife, opened 1t, and
with his left hand had driven tile
blade of 1t through the membranes
covering the brain. thereby inf1icting
wound from which recovery was
absolutely impossible.
Four of the leading physicians in
this part of Connecticut, all of whom
had been present at Mr.. Stedman's
DEATH swore that all the evidence
indicated suicide.
Louis A. Stedman, the brother,
agreed with the doctors that all the
evidence pointed to suicide, and he
said that in his opinion his brother
had killed himself in a moment Of
temporary insanity.
Miss fuller, the nurse, who was the
first person to reach Mr.. Stedman
after the fatal wound was inflicted
said he acted in a conscious way dur
ing the first few minutes after she
reached his side. She asked him IL
he wished to be removed, and she
said he shook his head, indicating
that he did not, and when she asked
him if he wanted a glass of water
he seemed to nod his head in assent

LAWS /.
SILK MEN TOPIC
Former Senator Spooner Sees
Decline of Industrial Liberty
In Proposed Statutes.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.LMore than
800 manufacturers. importers, mer-
chants and others engaged in the sifR
business gathered here from all parts
of the country last night to attend
the forty-second annual dinner of the
silk Association of America at the
Hotel Astor. Statistically, the mehi-
bers present represented yearly i'm
portations of silk amounting to $685.
600, 900, 1t was estimated. Many Oh
them were Paterson manufacturers. b,
Speakers discussed national legi$
lative measures, past and pending,
and their relation to business. with
special reference to the silk industry.
Among those who made addresses
We're John C. Spooner, former United
States senator from Wisconsin, and
William FL. Berry. collector of GUS
toms of the port of Philadelphia.
Charles Cheney, president of the
association, who was POSTMASTER,
said that silk men would be called !
upon to take an important part in the
legislation of the present administra-
ton. I'VE are charging all the time
upon the scope of the activities of our
work" he said, Organization regis
tration bureaus for trademarks. en-
deavoring to arrive at that impos-
sible achievement, the classified ton
of raw silk"
Former Senator Spooner said that IL
pending bills in Congress are passed
there will be little Industrial liberty
left in the country.
1.-THE business of the United States,
yours and everybody else's business
will be in a straitjacket. 1t will be
manacled. 1t cannot be otherwise. 1t
Is of the utmost consequence to the
people of the United States that in
dustrial liberty, in its true sense,
shall be accorded to the business of
the United States from every conceiy-
able standpoint"
Mr.. Spooner criticised the Industrial
trade commission bill. The reason
for it, he said, ''is a congressional
suspicion of the law-abiding charac-
ter and trustworthiness of all busi-
ness men in the United States"

"I gradually climbed to height of
5000 feet All this time was fight

course. Happily l was able to keep
control of the machine, and soon
found myself flying over the top OF
Mont Blanc. / was then at a height
of 1854 feet, the highest I attained,
and the cold was intense.
II dropped to 1900 feet after leav-
