TIRED OF LIVING
WROTE BARRE GIRL
Miss May Kingston, Who Has Been Stay
ing Lately in Burlington, Took Car
bolic and Probably Will Not Live

Burlington, May l2,Miss May King
ston, a girl p years OF age, living At
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Nerno, S7is Murray street, made des-
pcratc attempt at suicide last night by
swallowing a half ounce of carbolic acid
She was not discovered until some time
after she took the poison and the chances
are that she will die.
Miss Kingston, early in the evening,
showed no signs of being disturbed about
anything, and was apparently in her
usual good spirits when MIR. and Mrs.
Nerno left the house about quarter of
nine to attend a picture show. They
returned home about half past ten, at
which time they discovered Miss King
ston in an unconscious condition, lying
on the floor in her bedroom. The girl
was clad in her nightdress and had evil

poison and then stepped out, falling to
the floor. The half ounce bottle which
had contained the acid was found on
her dresser ana was empty. glass
was also discovered which smelled of
and indicated that the girl
had swallowed the poison diluted in
water. Her mouth and throat we're bad
ly burned. Dr. j. W. Courtney was sum
moned as quickly as the girls condition
was discovered and he ordered her re-
moved at once to the Mary Fletcher hos
pital She was taken there in the po
lice ambulance. The physicians said
after her arrival at the hospital that
she had but little chance to recover, al
though her pulse was not much dis
turbed.
There appears to be no reason why
Miss Kingston should commit suicide.
She came here two years ago from her

LOCAL SUCCESSES
WON BY BOTH SIDES
Russians Admit Further Re-
treat in Galicia But They
Deny Complete Rout Re-
ported BY Austrians and
Germans. Italy Is Still
Wavering As To Entering
War.

From the Belgian coast to Arras
across the border in northern France
one of the principal battles of the war
thus far is under way TIE Belgians are
pushing forward apparently with some
success Near the border the French are
attacking furiously in an attempt to
pierce the German line. Between these
two districts the Germans are on the
offensive, pressing against the British
army with great force. Although local
successes have been won on both sides.
the main issue, which is awaited with
unooncealed concern, probably will not be
decided tor some time.
The Russians admit further retreat in
Galicia, although denying the Austrian
and German reports of complete rout.
The reports from all sources indicate
that the loss of life on the Gallipoli pen
insula is severe The British accounts
indicate that the allies paid heavy price
for establishing their land positions. A
despatch from Athens says the Turkish
losses are so great that fresh troops are
TO be brought from Smyrna.
The course Of Italy still is undecided.
Pope Benedict is reported to have almost
given up hope of peace. Austria's final
proposals are expected shortly,
but little hope apparently is enter aimed
that they will satisfy Italy.

SWISS WILL HELP

Corps of Experts to Establish

Permanent.

Washington, July IS Engagement Of
q corps of Swiss dyestufT chemists to
aid in the development Of the new
American coal tar dye industry is the
latest project Of the Bureau Of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce in it's effort TO
meet the American dyestuf famine re-

supply.
Two Swiss dye chemists already have
begun negotiations with American firms
10 undertake the establishment Of
plants in this country.
"The transfer Of sufficient corps Of
Swiss expert color chemists TO the
United States at this critical moment
says Dr. Thomas H. Norton, Of the bu-
reau, in a statement issued to-day,
probably would enable the industry to
become so thoroughly rooted in the
economic life Of the country that on the
return of normal international eX-
changes legitimate competition Of for

LUMBER MEN SEEK
RIGHT TO COMBINE
Federal Trade Commission VIII
Take Up the Problem
To-day.

Washington, July 18.-Whether 1t
will permit some Of the biggest 'um-
Der concerns of the country 10 com
bine 10 engage more vigorously in eX-
port trade. is one of the problems
which the Federal Trade Commission
vii, face IN entering into cooperation,
BEGINNING with hearings in Chicago
tomorrow, with the Forest Service and
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce in their study Of the lum-
Der industry.
This announcement follows the adop-
ton by the National Association Of
Lumber Manufacturers Of resolution
providing that a committee Of lum-
bermeD should lay before the commls-
sion the conditions existing in the in
Gustry. The commission has arranged
for a series Of hearings.
According 10 the Forest Service, al
though logging and forest fires are re
ducing the timber supply by eighty or
more billion feet a pear, much low
grade timber is not marketable. At
the same time many persons believe
lumber costs too much. Retail prices
have gone up in the last two decades,
due in part TO the fact that SUPPLIES Of
timber nearest thickly populated states
have been reduced.
Development of associations Of lum-
Der manufacturers and distributors has
caused many to believe prices were
raised artiticially; TO what eXten has
been in dispute.

BACONlAN DISCIPLE
DEFIES GRAVITATION
DR.. OrVille Owen Threatens
NeWtOnian Controversy with
AirShip Invention.

Detroit, July 18.-Dr Oryille W.
Owen, who holds that Bacon wrote
Shakespeare and spent months digging
in the mud Of the Wye River to prove
il, announces that he has concluded eX-
perimental work on an airship which,
by absolutely ueutralzing gravitation
through "ionic' vibrat on, will revolu-
tioniize warfare, commerce and all
arts and sciences.
81 have received letters" said DR..
Owen to-day, from Colonel J. f. b.
Seely, ex-War Minister Of England, Of
fering TO pay any price for the secret
of the invention. But my own country,
however unheed.uc, shall have the
chance TO adopt It,. I expect to place
the whole matter before the recently
formed advisory board of invention"
The invention is built on the princi-
pie that all things in absolute vibration
cannot touch. Those In opposite vibra-
tion always tend 90 come together.
Thus is explained the death Of many
aviators who drive their machines into
"air holes" where there is no vibra-
ton, but a vacuum that causes them
