TRAGIC, BEAUTIFUL END

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. June 2.--In &
statement tonight Edmund T. Dana. an
assistant professor at the University of
Minnesota. described the suicide Of his
young wife by drowning at Nantucket
Thursday as a tremendously tragic. but
beautiful end"
Mrs. Dana" her husband said. had
always held the stoical idea that II is
more dignifled TO die Of ones own will.
than TO leave the hour, and manner to
circumstances. Personally I am glad II
was an act OF my wifes own choosing
and not horrible accident. though It
was a pathetic mistake that made her
feel the world would be better without
her"
Continuing. Mr.. Dana explained that his
wife's health became run down after the
birth Of her child.
"She believed she never would be able
10 take care OF the baby properly" he
said. 'and would handicap her husband
In his life's work. Her artistic senEe
made her feel that a thing should be
perfect or not at all"
Mrs. Dana was the daughter Of Henry
Holiday a wealthy steel manufacturer
OF Wales. Her husband is a grandson

RUSSIAN LAWS AGAINST
"ENEMY CORPORATIONS"

Correspondence Of the Associated Press !
PETROGRAD, May 26.-The new Rus
sian laws, directed against enemy cor
porations' operating in Russia, are thus
officially summarized:
The measures authorize the council
of ministers to close stock companies
operating under statutes sanctioned
within the empire. with the appointment
of a special board for the liquidation of
the buisenss in those cases where the
actual management is I'm the hands of
subjects, companies or institutions OF
countries which are at war with Russia
and whose operations appear TO be harm
full or dangerous to the state 1t is pro-
vided, however, that the rights OF credi-
tors are not to be infringed. and that the
interests Of stockholders are TO be OBJ
served as far as possible.
"As an alternative. the council may ap-
point a special board OF management for
the business OF such alien companies.
without closing them or taking them over.
The same regulations are to be applied
also to partnerships II any OF the full
partners are subjects OF enemy countries
II 1t is found that the work OF these
partnerships is harmful or dangerous to
the interests of the state"
The codifying OF these special measures
against enemy" companies and partner
ships is presumably done in an effort 70
restrict Illicit trade with Germany and
Austria. which has been going on to a
eeftaip extent through Scandinavia since
the beginning Of the war.
