SUICIDES SADDEN
PROVOST OF UP.
DR.. E. F. Smith Addresses Mes
sage of Hope to Students
and Urges Perseverance.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2J.-"Tell your
paper to publish an editorial that will
set forth clearly TO these .;oung fellows
that it is Il sin TO take ones own life:
that they should face their struggles
bravely as long as strength permits. If
the fight becomes too strong for them,
and they are forced to quit through ILL
ness or accident it is no disgrace. But
there is no justification for escaping
troubles by suicide. DR.. Edgar F'ahs
Smith. provost OF the University Of
Pennsylvania.
This message of hope addressed to
University of Pennsylvania students Is
the keynote OF remarkable interview
today on the three recent suicides OF
Pennsylvania students.
Il cannot throw any light on the rea-
sons that actuatcd these young men to
take their lives" said Dr. Smith, shak-
ing his head sadly.
we arc all stricken with sorrow over
these sad occurrences"
Then pride asserting itself, the Pro-
VOst steadied his voice, and speaking
slowly and distinctly said: DO you
know the student body of the university
has been quick to resent the reports
that fraternities may have been In
Nolved in the suicides?
The three students were in different
The Washington times., 1914-01-25

departments. and did not know each
ether"
When asked about the case of Field
man. the last fthe suicide trio, DR..
Smith said he saw the law student on
the street two days previous and the
young man looked worried. DIR. Smith
said he paid no particular attention to
FeIdman at the time, because he has
seen many students look worried and ap-
pear to be lost in their own thoughts
around examination time.
Fellow students of Mccullough, tf q
first of the trio to take his life by Jump
ing into the Delaware river q week ago
yesterday, assert he did not commit sui
eide DR.. Smith was asked If he shared
in that view Of McCullough's death. He
replied:
"NcCullough's family has accepted the
report of the authorities that the Young
man took his own life without question.
/ talked with one of the family-an
alumnus Of the university, and he told
me there was no doubt of the student
having been q suicide.
Il have thought that sometimes when
the bows of the university feel their
strength giving way under the strain of
work and study, they begin to think
there is something wrong inside here,
and there the provost tapped his chess
Significantly to indicate he referred to
the dread white plague, and left the
sentence incompleted.

they will not dare to take your car

BLIND "SEE" PLAY
1900 sightless Persons Witness and
Enjoy Performance.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Perhaps the most
unusual audience which ever attended a
theatrical performance was present at a
special production at a Broadway house
when 1900 blind persons. many of them
children saw" the play. The business
OF the piece was emphasized by some
clever changes. Doors that ordinarily
close softly were fitted with springs. The
noise they made in closing apprised the
blind audience of the entry and exit of
characters. "Goody-bys" were also added
to the lines Of the players and that helped
Immensely. In the third act the carpet
was removed from n stairway which is
ascended many times. The sense of hear
ing came to the aid of the sightless
spectators and they followed the action
OF the play without trouble.
Before every act blind lawyer, who
was one of the audience, explained the
act about to follow. Some of his descrip-
ions were humorous. a society man in
the play being dubbed as "a young prlg,
with mustache the size OF small eye
brow"
The enjoyment of the spectators" was
unmistakablc.
