EludeS Nurse and
browns Herself

Needham, June Escaping the
vigilance of her nurse for only a
short time Sunday morning, Mrs. Mar
tin L. Cate, wife of a wealthy insur-
ance and real estate man of Boston
and this city, committed suicide in the
Charles river, near the boundary line
between this town and Wellesley.
Mrs. Cate had been in i'll health for
some time, and as usual Sunday
morning she went for walk with her
nurse for an attendant. AS they were
strolllng along the banks of the river,
the nurse suddenly missed the pres
ence of her charge. and looking about
she saw her just disappearing beneath
the surface of the river.
She shouted for help, but on account
of the few houses in that locality,
some time was lost before help ar
rived. Among the first to come to the
scene was Chief of Police Norman
Mackenzie, who had been notified by
telephone.
With him he had a set of graphing
irons and a pulmotor. The irons were
used effectively in bringing the body
to the surface, but the use of the pull
motor was unavailing.
Mrs. Cate has been in poor health
for some time. and had not been able
to go out without an attendant Her
husband. who is wealthy. conducts a
real estate and insurance business at
Al Kilby street, Boston. The home IS
a beautiful residence on Grove street,
Needham.

a price which it is impossible for them
to compete with even at the wages
now paid.
The latest word from the conference
is that both parties have agreed to
leave all points on which they cannot
agree to a board of arbitration, which
insures a peaceful solution of the mat,
ter.
This is a case where the free tariff
bill is not working to the benefit of
the American iaborer.
The protracted strikes in the Colo
RADIO coal fields and in the copper re-
gions of Michigan prove beyond
doubt that the large interests are
ready to sacrifice millions of dollars
to retard the growth of the trades
union movement. and these interests
almost invariably refuse to arbitrate
the differences between themselves
and their employees. / believe the Ca
madam arbitration law could be used
to good advantage in this county. This
law calls for an investigation of the
differences between the employer and
employees before strike or lockout
can be declared.
