SCOTT CHAM
BERLAIN ENDS HIS
SHOOTING
Crippled, Unable to Work, De-
spondent, Watches Circus
Parade and Uses Gun

Turning directly from witnessing the
street parade of Howe's London
shows at Temple and Main streets,
Scott Chamberlain, aged 81, a Grip
pie, walked into the office Of the Cen
trail Maine Power Cos. stable on
Charles street, laid down on the couch
and shot himself through the right
temple with a cheap Fourth of July
pistol of 80 ealiber. He died immedi-
ately.
Despondent because he was sick and
because he could not earn a living for
himself is believed to have been the
motive for the shooting. For the past
three or four weeks he has been stay
ing around the different stables on the
street, sleeping nights wherever he
could be sheltered. His home was for
merly in Clinton. where, previous to
suffering a shock that paralized his
right side, making him a cripple and
the use of a cane necessary, he had
been a laborer. Other than married
sister, who lives in that town, he had
no known relatives.
After witnessing the street parade of
the circus Chamberlain walked into
the office of the stable, where he was
known, and laid down on the couch.
Frank Lagree was washing carriages
on the floor of the stable, but as
Chamberlain was frequenter of the
place. he paid no attention to him.
A few minutes later he heard the re-
port of a revolver, and rushed into
the office to find the man bleeding
from the right temple, and with
revolver in his hand. Lagree ran
across the street and notified Fred
Lewis in the New Method Laundry,
who in turn telephoned to the police.
Z Coroner S. L. Berry was called, and
after hearing the circumstances
deemed an inquest unnecessary. The
body was taken to the Redington I'M
dertaking rooms, and Coroner Berry
made an effort to communicate with
the mans sister, Carrie Chamberlain
of Clinton. If she does not take charge
of the body it will be buried by the
town.

CHARGES THE
PROCRESSVES
SEEK TO ADD
MEXICO To US,
Allegations of a Secret
Platform Among
Third Party

Vera Cruz, Mex, July 10.-Querido
Moheno, former Mexican minister of
commerce and labor, before departing
today on board the Espagne, uttered
some virulent remarks in regard to
the policy of the United States toward
Mexico.
Senior Moheno insisted that he was
. i'll position to give proof that there
existed secret platform" of the Pro-
gressive party in the United States, of
which Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was
cognizant and in which he concurred,
looking to the disruption of Mexico
and the acquisition ultimately by the
United States of all the territory be-
tween the Rio Grande and Panama
The Mexican statesman said that
Francisco Escudero, who was minis
ter of foreign relations in Venustiano
Carranza's cabinet, has letters which
to him are conclusive evidence of his
allegations and declared he hoped to
be able to produce these letters at the
proper time.
ITO show up President Wilson's
crime against Mexico-the greatest in
the history of modern nations"-is the
announced object of Senior Moheno's
trip to the United States. He arrived
at Vera Cruz this morning on board
the Espagne from Puerto Mexico and
announced his Intention of not going
ashore during the liners stay here, as
Vera Cruz, he said, was at present to
him disagreeable spectacle under the
existing conditions.
Exceedingly bitter denunciations of
President Wilson were uttered by Senior
Moheno, who =resorted to much sarcasm
in his characterization of what he called
the Puritan President" Senior Moheno
said he anticipated armed intervention
in Mexico.
One of the promised revelations to be
made by Senior Moheno in New York is
the exact method of the killing of the
late President Madero and Vice President
Pine Suarez He said:
Il will say this now: / am confident
Gen. Huerta had nothing to do with the
assassination of these men. 1t was a DO
litical bunder and it was inevitable that
it should result in revolution which
all thinking .Mexicans now concede TO
have practically triumphed.

ANARCHISTS NOT TO
HOLD DEMONSTRATION

New York, July 1o.-A clash tomorrow
between the police and anarchists which
seemed inevitable because of the fiat
avowal of the anarchists that they would
hold funeral procession to honor the
ashes of the men who were killed in a
bomb explosion last Saturday. was ap-
parently averted today. Alexander Berk-
man stated that the Anti-Militarist
League and the Mother Earth Associa-
ton had decided to abandon the plan
rather than antagonize the police There
would be a demonstration at Union
square, he said, but the ashes of Arthur
Caron. Berg and Hansen would not be
present. Before Berkman reached his de-
cision, Mayor Mitchell asserted that there
must be no parade, as it would tend to
breed disorder, he thought, and lead to
breach of the peace.
